When Ovulation Test Is Positive?

The LH surge triggers ovulation, which is the start of a woman's fertile period. When an ovulation test result is positive, it means that LH levels are high, and ovulation should occur within the next 24 to 36 hours.

How long after a positive ovulation test Are You fertile?

Eggs are only viable for about 24 hours after they're released (ovulation). If combined with the 36 hours between a positive ovulation test and ovulation, the fertile period comes down to less than 60 hours.

What happens when I get a positive ovulation test?

If you're predicting ovulation and tracking your fertile window using ovulation (LH) tests, a positive test result marks your fertile window. This is because luteinizing hormone surges about 36 hours before ovulation and triggers the ovary to release a mature egg.
