CM at this stage could be an early symptom! I think it has something to do with the beginning stages of a mucus plug... Fingers crossed!

Re: very weird!
I have been reading posts online all day about using OPK's to test for pregnancy so when I got home from work, (only after 1hr of not peeing), I took one for Shyts and giggles. It came up with a line, not as dark as the control line but there was a definite line! I know this doesn't mean anything and I shouldn't get my hopes up but it is what it is!!!

if you got a line on an opk at this point, id say its safe to invest in another hpt  sounds like you have some hcg in your system!!!

sorry, meaning after your LH surge.. aka the only reason a opk would come up positive if youre def not ovulating and dont have PCOS is the presence of HCG.

Re: very weird!
i dont want to be a downer, but how is that possible?
OPKs measure the amount of LH
HPTs measure the amount of HcG
Totally different hormones.

from "peeonastick.com" (haha)
OPK's as HPT's:
using an ovulation test to confirm pregnancy
Overall-- yes, it can be done. Ovulation predictor tests (known as OPK's because they are normally sold in a set of tests known as a "kit," thus the K) will show a positive result when a woman is pregnant, as well as when she's ovulating.
Specifically-- while it works most of the time, there are good reasons to avoid using an OPK as an HPT for diagnostic purposes. If you want to pee on any stick that will stand still after you know you're pregnant, just for fun, have at it. But I would not recommend using an OPK in place of an HPT overall.
Reasoning-- OPK's detect LH (luteinizing hormone) which is the hormone associated with ovulation. Pregnancy tests detect hCG, the hormone associated with pregnancy. LH and hCG are, at a molecular level, nearly identical. hCG has a beta subunit, meaning it has an extra little "doodad." To use a stupid but easy to understand example, LH and hCG are identical twins, except that hCG wears a funny hat.

Re: very weird!
from another website:
Reasons not to use an ovulation prediction kit for a home pregnancy test
OPKs cannot distinguish between LH and HCG. Getting a positive OPK only confirms that you have either LH or HCG in your system.
It is important to discuss some of the other differences between OPKs and HPTs. LH is present in the body at all times. HCG is not. WIth OPKs, they detect a sudden increase or "surge" of LH. The typical amount of LH that is in the body at any given time is between 5-20 mIU. Therefore an OPK is looking for a surge above this typical amount. Most OPKs look for a level around 30-40 mIU. However, there are some tests that detect lower levels of LH. You can easily see how testing with a more sensitive OPK could result in a false positive. Newer OPKs look at a combination of LH and estrone-3-glucuronide, E3G, which may be helpful to further pinpoint ovulation.
Home pregnancy tests on the market are very sensitive testing at 25 mIU and below. This is more sensitive that the typical OPK. So even if you could get a positive on an OPKs, you would most likely get one sooner on a home pregnancy test. Because OPKs are designed to detect LH and not HCG , it is not recommended to use an OPK for an HPT.
