Can a pregnancy test be positive when using an ovulation test?

Patient's question:

If I am pregnant, will the ovulation test be positive? I don't feel like I ovulated, but the test is positive. I tested positive on November 21, and it's still positive today, the 26th. What could be the reason? Please help me answer this question, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during pregnancy, most people test positive on ovulation test strips, but the results of ovulation test strips are not considered a definitive pregnancy test result. Whether you are pregnant is confirmed through early pregnancy tests, such as using early pregnancy test strips to test morning urine or having blood drawn to check HCG levels, if your period is delayed by more than 7 days. Early pregnancy test strips are more accurate and should be used on the midstream morning urine. Two red lines indicate a positive result, meaning pregnancy, and it is essential to pay special attention.
