To my knowledge, the OPK (ovulation predictor kit) will show a stronger and stronger positive up to your ovulation day (that day being the strongest positive). If you’re pregnant, I have heard that the OPK will remain positive the whole time (ovulating or not).
I have never used one so I don’t really know from experience. This website has a bunch of information on HPTs and OPKs. I would suggest not wasting your money on OPKs to use them to test for pregnancy. There are alot of inexpensive, accurate tests out there now.
Good luck.

Usually it will show up positive.

My ovulation test remained positive after I ovulated. I asked my friend who is a nurse and she said I must have conceived. She was right! I am now 13 weeks 2 days.
