Is ovulation test paper accurate for pregnancy?

Ovulation test strips are generally not accurate in detecting pregnancy.

Ovulation test strips are primarily used to detect levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine to help predict ovulation timing. The following are reasons why pregnancy cannot be accurately detected with ovulation test strips. Pregnancy is primarily related to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels, not luteinizing hormone. Ovulation test strips are not specifically designed to detect hCG, and their response to hCG is not specific or accurate. Even if ovulation test paper may show some changes after pregnancy, such as weak positive, but this does not reliably indicate pregnancy, may lead to wrong judgment and interpretation.

Therefore, to accurately determine whether pregnant, should use special early pregnancy test paper or blood hCG test, ultrasound and other medical means, these methods for the diagnosis of pregnancy more targeted and authoritative.
