here's what I found...

"My OPKs have been getting darker since 6 DPO. Could I be pregnant?"

The darkness of OPKs can vary for a variety of reasons, most not pregnancy-
related. The amount of dye can vary from test to test. More concentrated
urine can cause a darker line to appear. Daily variations in the amount of
post-ovulation LH can also cause the OPKs to appear as if they are getting
darker. Of course, yes, you could also be pregnant - but the odds of the
OPKs telling you this before 12 DPO are just about nil. (Unless you aren't
sure about your date of ovulation.) You are probably making your eyes cross
and driving yourself into ttc-psychosis if you are comparing the darkness of
one test to another. Just step away from the peesticks for a few days, test
again, and then compare. If they really are getting darker, your test at 10 DPO
should be noticeably darker. In fact, a HPT will give you a straight answer.

I think that I am in ttc-psychosis by the sound of it hey

I said "oh sorry are you finding this boring" in a sarcastic way that seems to appear when I am looking at these sticks and he said "well erm no its just that Ive seen lots of sticks" I was like oh dear god you aint seen nothing!!!! ha ha ha
