Thank you for the responses! I posted it. I like to keep it anonymous for my own reason haha. But I did post this in another group not that many response. Anyway yea so my periods cut are the same typically I’m 7 days late and I’m never this late. I’ve read that ovulation test can sometimes be used as pregnancy test. For my own reason I tried it due to negative pregnancy test few days after missed period. I took 3 ovulation test all are positive so hopefully we can get a positive pregnancy test! Sorry for the long response! Send baby vibes my way please 🥰

Answer

Yes! I actually used one today because I wanted to check if the line was getting darker. So just for curiosity I used an ovulation test and yes it does work!

Answer

I only say yes because it did for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Yes!! When it started going up at 6dpo I already knew I was pregnant because that never happened before in any of my other cycles. I kept testing every months from cd10 or so until my period started for my own personal studies lol
I have had bleeding during this pregnancy (I have a haematoma), which i put down as period because if I delete the period completely the all calculates new dates which is annoying lol.
Anyway, at 17dpo was the first time the ovulation test came back with the test line much much darker than control line.  So although you could expect to be pregnant if you have a higher reading, by the time it's completely positive you would already get a positive pregnancy test. I got the first faint line on a Wondfo at 8dpo. Which was much earlier than having a proper positiv ovulation test. So I'd say if you really want to find out early, buy some sensetive pregnancy tests. If you just want to test for fun to find out if it's gonna be like that, than go ahead and do ovulation tests. I can recommend the combi pack from Wondfo. 50opk and 20hpt

Answer

It can but you should use an LH test as a pregnancy test for two reasons. 1) it’s normal to have an lh surge right before your period so it’s impossible to know if a positive opk is picking up on that or hcg. Basically it’s useless and doesn’t actually tell you anything. 2) it’s not going to pick up on pregnancy before a pregnancy test would anyway so there’s really no point.
In short: use a pregnancy test to test for pregnancy. Using and LH test is not reliable.
