A member asked:

Does an opk shows a positive lh surge even during ovulation? if not, how much time before ovulation lh drops.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: The OPK should be positive just before ovulation. If it's still positive with your period, it could be that you're producing the hormone LH in high amounts, or the kit could be wrong.
