Just for fun, I used a Dollar Tree OPK

I had to pee in a cup anyway because I wanted to take another Dollar Tree pregnancy test (yes, still pregnant and the test line is even darker than it was when I first tested), and since I had the pee anyway and I have a bunch of these OPKs left I figured I'd try one. That thing lit up like a Christmas tree, instantly. So funny. The test line is about ten times darker than the control line. 

 

Yes, I'm bored. There is no reason to use an ovulation test when you're KU.

Re: Just for fun, I used a Dollar Tree OPK

  • I tried the OPK thing when I first got my bfp.. and it did absolutely nothing- there was barely a visible line and it freaked me out- I thought it would always turn positive in the presence of HCG. Clearly not. Glad you had better luck.

    It's definitely more fun peeing on things now that we have the "magic pee" that makes lines appear LOL

  • Try the OPK to see if they light up as well. Since they use the same hormone to check for ovulation. Something to think about.

    That's what I did - I used the pee on a pregnancy test and a leftover OPK. OPK gets DARK. Fun experiment.

  • I have a few OPKs left, I'll have to try it. But I will say, EVERY SINGLE OPK I took in Mach was NEGATIVE, and I still got a BFP!

    That's the plan, after I'm out of first tri and feel like this baby is going to stick. Like a fool I ordered a small boatload from Amazon and I still had a bunch of Dollar Tree ones left. Of course I got a BFP before starting another cycle. Not that I'm complaining. If I were superstitious, I'd say it was meant to be that way.

    haha.  it doesn't take much - I'm a POAS-a-holic!

    that line was SO dark.  I almost couldn't see the control line, but the test line looked like it was drawn on with a marker!

    I'm happy (and a little ashamed) that I've inspired others to behave this way.

  • This is so funny because I happened to do the exact same thing today before seeing this!  I was cleaning the bathroom and noticed my very last OPK, so I thought I'd just use it up!  It is stupidly fun to watch it turn so bright so fast.  :)
