I always thought that you can use an opk to detect pregnancy....but it has to be a postive opk (like you have) meaning you are pregnant! Get a regular preg test to make sure but it sounds like like you will have a baby in 9 months!

Here's a link to what I was trying to say. Congrats!!

i agree with other posters - it can definitely mean you're pregnant! When i went through my years of TTC a few of the ladies on the message boards i was on tried this as an experiment and found it to be true.
I was also going to point you to www.peeonastick.com - great site :)
It could also mean that you're ovulating very late in your cycle... can happen. So grab a HPT and give it a try just to be sure! Good luck :)

It's possible you don't ovulate "normally". If it's a dark +--then I'm guessing you will have a better shot at ttc tonight. Good luck!

YAY!!! Congratulations!!!
I've never used a OPK and didn't know what the heck one was until I just saw your question and googled it. Apparently you can use a OPK as a HPT and get it to tell you if you are pregnant. So it sounds to me that it could be detecting LH or hCG, either of those two hormones can be detected by the OPK because they are almost identical. If I were you I'd go out and buy a HPT now and pee on it...if you get the positive then you'll have your definate answer. If it's negative then you are ovulating very late in your cycle and you'll have to do the "baby dance" again tonight. Either way, tonight you be doing a dance...the "HAPPY DANCE" or the "Baby Dance."
Best wishes to you and yours!
