Can an ovulation predictor test detect pregnancy??

Is this true? I'm going to the voices of reason who trust most...all of you!! I read this on the internet just now, I was trying to understand what else could cause a positive ovulation test late in a cycle other than super late ovulation.  Here's one of the websites I found:  https://www.peeonastick.com/opkhpt.html .  Anyone ever heard of this and whether or not its true?

    with my last pregnancy I accidentally grabbed the OPK instead of the HPT. The OPK was positive with my FMU. But I ended up mc that night. So not sure, it could have been a fluke.

    I have heard from many ladies that OPKs can be + when you are PG.  I am not sure if all brands will be +, or if it is just ICs, as most women I have heard this from use ICs almost exclusively.

    With my last pregnancy I used one just to see. I had already gotten a + pregnancy test, and had alot of OPK left over. And I had heard that you could test with OPK's too. And sure enough it was positive. I even did it the next day and it was also positive. Hope this helps. I use the wondof brand.

    Interesting!  This is the first I've heard this!  I would have initally said no bc they detect LH while the hpt detect hCG, But I found this on the web:

    Ovulation Tests as Pregnancy Tests

    • Because of the similarity of hCG and LH at the molecular level, ovulation tests can detect pregnancy as well. The difference between hCG and LH is a beta subunit attached to the hCG. The website peeonastick.com illustrates the difference by describing LH and hCG as identical twins. The difference between them is that hCG is wearing a hat and LH is not. So the ovulation test will turn positive when it detects either one of the identical twins. But because pregnancy tests are also looking for the hat on the twin, a pregnancy test will not turn positive during ovulation. So if you are pregnant, an ovulation test will turn positive.
