    An ovulation test is something else than a pregnancy test, isn’t it?

      Yes. Ovulation is when an egg is released from an ovary and makes its way down a fallopian tube to the uterus. It is when someone who has a female reproductive system can normally become pregnant.

      Ovulation tests are used to tell if they are in their monthly window of fertility, generally if trying for a pregnancy when they have had trouble conceiving or have an irregular menstrual cycle.

      A pregnancy test detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This is a hormone that is released by the placenta after a fertilized egg implants in the uterine lining.

      Yes, that’s why I commented on both, as their evaluation is different and the first results I got, when searching “pregnancy test result”, were for ovulation tests.

          Yes, at first it contained only the part on the UWUlation test.

          Sorry, wrong reply. I only modified punctuation. I appended the part on hCG tests like 2 minutes after I replied.
