Can an ovulation test detect early pregnancy?

We TTC and I'm new to ovulation testing but wondering if anyone experienced any lines on the ovulation test and later found out you were pregnant?

It depends.

No. Ovulation tests cannot reliably detect pregnancy. They could, under some circumstances, possibly show a positive result due to similarities between the hormones LH (which ovulation tests detect), and hCG (which pregnancy tests detect), but only pregnancy tests will reliably detect HCG.
