Ovulation occurs when hormone changes trigger your ovaries to release an egg – usually, 12 to 16 days before your next period starts. You are most fertile on the few days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. IT occurs about 24 to 36 hours after the Luteinizing Hormone surge, and you are at your most fertile on the day of the LH surge and the day after. It is essential for fertility and childbirth.
The best time to take an ovulation test is with the second morning urine at noon. It tests LH levels. Usually, the menstrual cycle is of 28-days, and the ovulation test is done 10 or 14 days after starting your period. If your cycle is a different length or irregular, talk to your doctor about when you should take a test.
Couples planning to become pregnant must have intercourse within three days following a positive test. It increases the chances of an egg becoming fertilized once it's released from the ovaries.
