Ya know, my thinking is that ok maybe it's not picking up HCG but that doesn't necessarily mean that SOMETHING going on in your body when you're very early in pg is not causing this positive result to happen. Doctors really know very little about the complex communications within our bodies and it is not a reach to me to think that the fertilized egg may communicate with the ovary in some way and that this could be something an OPK can detect. Who knows???Quote:

Yeah, but it's going to start picking up the HCG soon. Whatever it was picking up before, was something else.
The follicle from which the egg was released is called the corpus luteum, and it will release progesterone that helps thicken and prepare the uterine lining for implantation. The corpus luteum will produce progesterone for about 12-16 days (the luteal phase of your cycle.) If an egg is fertilized, the corpus luteum will continue to produce progesterone for a developing pregnancy until the placenta takes over.
It's interesting because yesterday thre was NO test line at all on my OPK, which kind of worried me because I'm one of those people who always has a faint line! Now, today I have a faint line! I'm definitely going to keep taking the OPKs everyday just because I'm curious when and if it will turn positive!Quote:
