Mix n' match: Don't be surprised: you are mixing testing methods, none of which is (are ) exact. If you checked cervical mucus you might get another answer, still. Generally the OPK is the most accurate test you can do at home; more reliable than the calendar method, and ultrasound is more reliable than opk.
