Ovulation tests can work as preg tests in a pinch??

Question

I just read online that ovulation tests can work as preg tests as well! I'm out of preg tests (I've gotten 3 bfps, and several bfns) and I took an ovulation test this am and a doller store pg test (another double line)and it showed I was ovulating! This isn't possible and I looked online and low and behold, on parent.com many preg ladies have used ovulation tests in addition to preg tests.

Answer

Same as Amy for me. +hpt -opk.

Answer

I guess lh and hcg are both detected in o tests.  I read that from a board. I got a strong bfp on fri and weak bfps all weekend long. I finally got my strong bfp again, and apparently some people use opks in a pinch(?) if they are out of hpts. 
​
​Diff quest. Is it normal for hcg levels to fluctuate? I got a strong bfp Friday, weak squinters all weekend and then today a strong bfp..weird!! I'm calling my dr in the am just to be sure, I want to be seen asap!

Answer

I think they can pick up pregnancy, but only if your further along like at least 3 weeks. But again don't use it instead of a pregnancy test! I would hate for you not to have a + surge and you doubt your pregnancy, or have you get a - surge and have you indeed be pregnant!! Best of luck to you!!!
