It's best to have intercourse the day of the LH surge and the two days after. Also consider "insurance" sex for one more day in case you ovulate late. Perfect timing would be to have had intercourse the day before the LH surge as well, but that can be hard to predict for those with an irregular cycle. If you don't know when you might ovulate, having sex every other day from cycle day 10 through a positive OPK.

It is recommended to have intercourse the day of the LH surge and the two days following. Most women conceive from intercourse prior to ovulation. There can be special circumstances where you would be advised to not have intercourse all three days. Please consult your doctor if your partner has a low or borderline sperm count.

Generally, ovulation will take place 12-48 hours after the LH surge is first detected (using afternoon urine samples), though 36 hours is considered to be the average length of time following the LH surge.

Most people will ovulate 12-48 hours after the LH surge is detected, most common is 36 hours after the actual surge. One should get a bit more notice, 24-48 hours, by testing in the afternoon.

Most doctors will do an intra-uterine insemination (IUI) the day after the LH surge, or about 36 hours after it is detected. With a vaginal insemination, or an intra-cervical insemination (ICI) in someone with good fertile mucus, the day of the surge may be preferable. Many doctors are now doing two inseminations per cycle. Check the IUI FAQ.

By definition, ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle - permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Directly prior to ovulation, a dramatic hormonal change takes place - the LH Surge. LH (or Luteinizing Hormone) is the hormone that actually facilitates ovulation: it causes the egg to separate from the ovarian surface. Ovulation predictor tests function by detecting this LH Surge, thus alerting the woman that ovulation is imminent.

It is possible to miss the surge. If you have a test line that is fairly dark one day then very light the next, you may have missed the actual surge. If your thermal shift occurs, you probably ovulated. It may be a good idea to test twice a day when you feel that you are close to ovulating. Another possibility is that you didn't hold your urine long enough (resulting in a diluted sample).

You probably missed your surge. Some people need to test more than once per day. If you've had a test that was half-color and then negative the next day, plus a thermal shift, in your next cycle you should consider testing twice a day (noon and 8 p.m. would be a good choice). Another possibility is that you didn't hold your urine long enough. Several tests suggest holding urine for 4 hours before checking for LH.

The frequency of intercourse generally should be that which the couple considers most enjoyable. However, during the time of the moth when ovulation takes place, the most advantageous frequency of intercourse is every other day (i.e., every 48 hours). The reason for this interval is that sperm should survive for 48 hours within the woman's reproductive tract and the egg should be subject to impregnate for 12 to 24 hours.

The correct cycle starting date may have been miscalculated, or one of the above factors may have influenced test results. Each test cassette has built in quality controls which make a defective test highly unlikely. Recalculate your cycle test start date and repeat the testing in the next menstrual cycle. If the LH surge is still not detected, you may wish to consult a physician. An insufficient amount of urine has been dropped in the sample well on the cassette.

You do not need to continue testing once the LH surge has been identified. You may save any unused tests for future testing, however be certain not to open the sealed pouch of any test prior to immediate use to avoid possible contamination the sensitive testing area membrane.

No. Each test result should be read independently of any other test. When the LH surge occurs, that particular day’s test will show positive results. No. All urine based LH tests are intended to be used with each test independent from any other test. Once a positive test is obtained testing should be stopped. the LH surge has begun. Test results, including the color or intensity of test or control lines, cannot be compared or correlated one test to another.

Depending on her own personal habits and hygiene a women will typically continue to secrete small amounts of semen for up to and around 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse, even after showering.

ANS: Unfortunately its probably NOT such a good idea because it may well lead to further damage to the bowel or rectal lining. Especially if you have Proctitis (as opposed to colitis, or I.B.D).

You should wash as soon as possible. A shower is probably your best bet in this case. Make sure that you use soap and water as the soap will wash away most residue left behind from the semen and the torn condom. Try to refreain from douching as the procedure may actually push substances further in. If you're concerned about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), you should see your doctor and get tested as soon as possible.
