Best Answer

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is not used to test for pregnancy.

Human beta-chorionic gonadotropin (bHCG) is the hormone that is increased in pregnancy and commonly tested.

HGH is measured to evaluate short stature in children and to diagnose a condition called acromegaly in adults. It is also taken by athletes because it stimulates testosterone production.

Can you use ovulation predictor kits as early pregnancy tests?

An ovulation predictor kit is used to help women keep track of ovulation when they are trying to conceive. Pregnancy tests are designed to predict a special hormone in the body that pregnant women have. Since an ovulation kit is not designed to detect that pregnancy hormone, it cannot be used as an early pregnancy test or any other type of pregnancy test for that matter. OPK's and pregnancy test are not designed alike, and are not meant for the same purpose.
