instruction: hello doctor will fertilization occur immediately after an egg is released and will the ovulation test show positive regardless of fertilization has occurred immediately I had sex three days ago but the ovulation test still showed positive today please suggest
output: hi ovulation test is not confirmatory for ovulation it means oh luteinizing hormones increased during the menstrual cycle fertilization can happen within 24 hours after ovulation once oh surge happens ovulation actually occurs after 36 hours of oh surge ovulation test comes positive when oh surge happens so you should have sex after two or three days of positive ovulation test it is the most likely time of ovulation but it is not confirmatory ovulation does not always happens after oh surge ovulation test does not have a relation with fertilization may or may not occurs even after ovulation
