Is a weak positive result on an ovulation test two days before your period another ovulation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Ovulation test strips cannot be used to test for early pregnancy. If they could detect early pregnancy, manufacturers would not mass-produce pregnancy test strips. It is possible to detect a weak positive result before or after menstruation. If you want to know earlier whether you are pregnant, you can have blood drawn at a hospital 11 days after intercourse during the ovulation period to determine if you are pregnant.
