Hi Deej,

I'm having a short reprieve in my busy day. Will get insane again in a few hours so I am taking this moment to let my dogs out for a walk and catch up with you gals.

As to OPKs, they don't work for pregnancy testing. They check for the Lutenizing hormone which is the hormone that is released to trigger follicles to fully mature and release the egg... obviously if you were pregnant, there'd be very little LH floating around cuz you already O'd so you'd get a negative. Pregnancy tests check for hSG levels.

Your symptoms could be PMS but it could also be pregnancy... since you are on CD30 how many days has it been since you BDed or possibly O'd? If more than 12 you could POAS and see if you get a BFP. Or just wait and see if AF rears her ugly head some time this week... :-)
