It's true! But it's not an early indicator. I got a positive pregnancy test before the lh tests were positive. Also ovulation tests don't test for hcg, but when you are pregnant your levels of lh rise even though you aren't ovulating which is why they come up positive.
ovulation test as pregnancy test
Is this a thing??? I've taken a few ovulation tests and they always come back positive but all my pregnancy tests come back negative. Is this normal? I'm just curious, I googled it and it said that if you have missed a period and get a positive ovulation test you could be pregnant since it picks up both of the hormones. Anyone else?????

I wouldn't trust it. My OPK's always have a faint second line and my second line didn't get dark until after I had already taken an HPT. Technically yes, it can. But I highly doubt you're going to tell people you're pregnant just from a positive OPK without taking an HPT so I think it's moot.
Mr
I got positive OPK's for a week for some reason the month I got pregnant. After that I stopped testing because I was driving myself crazy 😂 But it definitely can be a good sign 😊

Oh I know that, I was just curious about that bc I had heard that they can detect both of the hormones hcg and lh in them. All the pregnancy tests I have taken are negative. All the OPK I have taken are positive. I don't think I'm ovulating that much though. I don't know. I'm new to all of this stuf
I wouldn't. LH is always in your system to some extent, so you should always have a second line on ovulation tests. Which is why a positive OPK is only when the line is extremely dark. I would just stick with HCG tests to avoid confusion.

Doesn't it have both in them for a positive ovulation test?
I tested the theory out after I got a positive pregnancy test and it was true. I always have a faint second line when im not ovulating, even during my period. The day I got my.positive pregnancy test I took an opk just to see and it was crazy dark

The past few tests have been extremely dark and close to the same color lines. I read that I picks up hcg and lh??
