Can ovulation test strips detect early pregnancy?

The most popular method now is to use early pregnancy test strips to test early pregnancy. However, some people have asked whether ovulation test strips can detect early pregnancy. I can only take you to see what the functions of ovulation test strips are. Can ovulation test strips detect early pregnancy?

1. Generally speaking, we do not recommend using ovulation test strips to detect early pregnancy because its accuracy is very low. The principle of using ovulation test strips to test early pregnancy is that HCG has two chains, α and β. The structure of the α chain is basically similar to LH and FSH, and cross-reactions are prone to occur. Therefore, in medicine, β is generally used as the standard for determining whether pregnancy is present.

2. Because HCG and LH cross, ovulation test strips sometimes also react to early pregnancy. So before the early pregnancy test paper, the ovulation test paper had already detected early pregnancy. In fact, ovulation test strips are not accurate in detecting early pregnancy. The absence of a weak positive result on the ovulation test strip does not mean that you are not pregnant, because cross-reaction is not inevitable. Therefore, although many women want to use ovulation test strips to detect early pregnancy, given its low accuracy, we do not recommend using ovulation test strips to detect early pregnancy.

How to detect early pregnancy with ovulation test strips

Ovulation test strips are a type of test strip that is more commonly used by female friends besides early pregnancy test strips. Ovulation test strips are a more convenient testing method for early pregnancy. So how do ovulation test strips detect early pregnancy? Let’s take a look at the specific operation methods.

1. Before the test, you need to use a clean and dry container to collect urine. Do not use morning urine. Doctors say the best time to collect urine is from 10 am to 8 pm. Try to use urine samples at the same time every day. Water intake should be reduced 2 hours before collecting urine, because diluted urine samples will hinder the detection of LH peak. Try to avoid diluting urine samples before the test to ensure its accuracy.

2. After collecting the urine sample, dip the end of the test strip with the arrow mark into the urine, take it out and lay it flat after about three seconds. Wait 10-20 minutes before observing the results. Doctors remind that the test results must be read within 30 minutes. If the time is too long or too short, the data may be inaccurate.

3. It is worth noting that the depth of the test paper inserted into the urine should not exceed the MAX mark line, otherwise it will affect the accurate reading and accuracy of the results.
