Ovulation test used as a pregnancy test?

Question

I am 4 days late for af and didnt have a pregnancy test so did some research and found that yu can use a ovulation test as a pregnancy test and if its posotive your pregnant and this is what i got, do you think i could be pregnant?

Answer

This was an OPK taken a day before AF ! And I was pregnant , later confirmed with an hpt . Hope this helps :)

Answer

In order for an OPK to be considered positive for pregnancy, the test line has to be just as dark, or darker, than the control line (the same way it shows positive for ovulation). However, OPK's aren't nearly as sensitive at detecting pregnancy as HPT's are, so most women will get a positive HPT long before an OPK will agree. The test pictured above is negative for both ovulation and pregnancy, but that doesn't mean you're not pregnant. It just means your OPK isn't picking it up. OPK's aren't very sensitive when it comes to detecting HCG, and most won't be able to pick up on these hormones until AFTER you've missed a period. If you want to know sooner, retest with a HPT (FRER's are very sensitive), and you should have your answer! GL to you & sending baby dust your way!!!

Answer

That's not accurate. Opks test for LH which is always in your system. I think you should go buy an actual pregnancy test.

Answer

Ovulation only tests for LH. which you always have some in your body so this wouldn't define anything
