OPK is not hPT: OPK were never intended to be used as a pregnancy test: the correct use of OPK is to start early and discontinue after it is positive. A hPT is accurate about 12 days after ovulation and is more accurate for pregnancy at this early time. You don't say "when" in cycle you are testing so I can't comment further, but likely it's not pregnancy. Good wishes.
