Question

I've been told ovulation tests can pick up hcg also. I've been taking pregnancy tests and ovulation tests all week because I've felt off and my period should be here tomorrow.

I took an ovulation test every day for 2 weeks and I ovulated then the line was getting less visible each day to the point the last few tests has only had the 1 line. Then today I've taken one and there's a faint second line (faint) I'm due on tomorrow so surely it's not the hormone that is there when ovulating building back up?

Know I shouldn't use it as a pregnancy test just ran out and wanted to use up the rest of the ovulation strips..

Answer

Yes, that is true. With my last pregnancy, I didn't know I was pregnant and was tracking my ovulation with OPKs. Thought it was weird that I got 3 days in a row of VERY positive OPKs...they were picking up on the HCG! For an OPK to be positive it needs to be as dark or darker than the control line. If it's picking up HCG it'll be a super strong test line, nothing faint. Good luck!

Answer

Ovulation test can detect pregnancy hormone but I've heard that it would be a solid positive. Your body produces LH hormone throughout your entire cycle so your ovulation test will have 2 lines. Test with a pregnancy test if you can.
