Can an ovulation test be used as a pregnancy test? | Nurse Linda Answers the 'Thought of the Day'

Are your ovulation tests rising after ovulation? Are you pregnant? Don't be alarmed if you get an "LH peak" just before your missed period. The two hormones LH and HCG are chemically very similar. The HCG hormone is actually giving a 'false positive' to the ovulation test but....it may mean that you are actually pregnant.

Tune into Premom App's Community every day to catch one of Nurse Linda's Thought of the Day videos to get quick fertility tidbits of knowledge valuable to anyone trying to conceive (TTC) or wanting to know more about tracking your cycle.

**Thought of the Day Topic**
Why am I getting a second ovulation test (LH) peak before my period?

I had to come back to this video because I seen so many women asking so many questions about this. I am 14 days past my DPO. I WAS going to wait until I had a missed period, which would be in 5 days. but something told me to try this myth on the Ovulation test. So I did last night/early morning at 3am, and the line was positive on my Ovulation test. Tried another one when I woke up at 8:30am, and yet again my Ovulation test was positive. I asked my Boyfriend to get me a pregnancy test on his way home from work, long story short I took a 6 days sooner Clear Blue Pregnancy test and it came out Positive!
So I would say this method works!
Feel free to ask me any questions if any of you have any. BUT I can only answer based on personal experience. I am not a medical professional by any means.

I used yesterday a ovulation stick to see if I was pregnant. On the left side the line was faint and visible and right line is darker. My period tracker is dating for this Saturday to arrive. So we shall see.

So if you’re close to your period and do an ovulation test and it shows a zero that would be you’re not pregnant as well?

[Kbirthdoula]

[suijoy]

[AshleyMurray-vt]

So i am 8 days late and I have a very positive ovulation test 2 very dark lines and a negative pregnancy test. What does this mean?

[gayatrinayak]

I’m at 10 dpo today, my lh level is 0.81, pregnancy test is negative so far but then I did the Hcg in evening, so I have some hope. I will test lh tomorrow morning and will also test Hcg in the next few days, hoping that I get a positive. This would be our rainbow baby. 🤞🏼🤞🏼😣
