They do come back positive when you are KU but I would just use a HPT. I use OPKs now because I have a ton of cheapies left over and I like seeing the lines. The test line is like 3 times darker than the control line.
Yes. I've had a positive OPK with a positive HPT....but I've also had a negative OPK with a positive HPT. I've also had a positive OPK at 13dpo but a negative HPT (and was not pregnant)
So stick with HPTs for pregnancy testing and OPKs for ovulation testing.
I decided to take an opk on 9dpo and it was a Sunday and it was positive. I ordered some IC from Amazon that came in on Wednesday. I had a digital at home but I wanted to save it. I finally tested (hpt) on Wednesday at 12 dpo and it was positive.
However weeks later for shiits and giggle I took another opk that was negative and my hpt was still positive.
I did it with DS2, probably like 5 days after my BFP and it was +. I wouldn't use it alone though to determine pregnancy. I just did it to see what would happen.
I once had a positive OPK at 10 dpo and then when I tested w/ HPT it was negative. I tried the same thing again the next day and the OPK was negative. I was not pregnant. I would just use HPTs for pregnancy and OPKs for ovulation so there's no confusion.
Re: Has anyone actually used an OPK as HPT?

This. By that time, I'd already had several +HPTs. But if you just want to pee on something...
