The three days immediately after a positive test represent the best time to have intercourse to increase the probability of getting pregnant. Ovulation generally occurs a day or two after the LH surge.

You can get a positive pregnancy test earlier. Many women post pictures of positive pregnancy tests as early as 10 days past ovulation (DPO). Thanks to the increasing sensitivity of at-home tests, many pregnancy tests can detect HCG as early as 7-10 days after conception.

But the most fertile days are the three days leading up to and including ovulation. Having sex during this time gives you the best chance of getting pregnant. By 12-24 hours after ovulation, a woman is no longer able to get pregnant during that menstrual cycle because the egg is no longer in the fallopian tube.

1﻿ More specifically, studies show that a woman's sexual desire starts to increase three days before her LH levels peak. Since LH peaks 24 to 36 hours before ovulation, your chances of getting pregnant are high if you have sex within this timeframe.

Any unprotected sex you have within about 5 days of ovulation may leave enough sperm waiting and ready to fertilize. In other words, you may conceive after having sex nearly a week before ovulation if healthy sperm are already hanging out at their final destination.

Usually 36-40 hours after the trigger shot is administered or natural ovulation has occurred, the couple will be instructed by their medical team to have intercourse in the privacy of their home. Often times the male partner will be asked to abstain from ejaculation for two to three days prior to the timed intercourse.

You have a positive ovulation test the day before ovulation. Therefore, your period should not start until at least 13 days after a positive ovulation test. Women with less than 12 days between ovulation and menses have short luteal phases which may indicate lower than normal progesterone production from the ovary.

Ovulation most likely occurs around day 18. You should get a positive result on an OPK a day or two before that, on day 16 or 17.

Ovulation occurs about 24 hours after LH levels “surge.” You can detect your LH surge by using LH urine tests. A positive LH test indicates that you are fertile, but keep in mind that you may be most fertile before your LH surge.

Considering the possible window of ovulation, and the lifespan of male sperm, couples should have their best chance to conceive in the first two to three days following a positive ovulation test.

If the test is positive in the morning or at noon, we usually perform the IUI the next day. If it is negative in the morning and positive in the evening, we usually perform IUI the next afternoon or the following morning (1.5 days later). Menses will occur 13-15 days after the LH surge.

So to conceive a boy, you should have sex four to six days before ovulation. And to conceive a girl, you should have sex either two to three days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation.

Your LH surge is important because it initiates the beginning of ovulation and your fertile period. If you're trying to get pregnant, this is the best time for you to begin having sex without a condom. Once the egg is released, it's only viable for about 24 hours. After that, your fertile window is over.

The other thing you can pay attention to when doing ovulation prediction testing is the length of your luteal phase. Your luteal phase should be 12-14 days long. You have a positive ovulation test the day before ovulation. Therefore, your period should not start until at least 13 days after a positive ovulation test.

Ovulation can occur while you are still getting positive ovulation tests. Since the surge can sometimes last for a day or two, testing every day—or even twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon—can help provide context for where in your surge you are.

Have sex near the time of ovulation. If having sex every day isn't possible — or enjoyable — have sex every two to three days per week starting soon after the end of your period. This can help ensure that you have sex when you are most fertile.

Why do I keep getting a positive OPK? Typically, people will see a positive OPK for a few days after their initial positive test. Most women experience it for up to 72 hours, when the LH surge is still present in their urine. In fact, we almost always have a small amount of luteinizing hormone in our urine.
