Possible: There is about a 10-20% false positive with the home ovulation kits. Go ahead and plan on intercourse tonight and tomorrow. If you're not pregnant this cycle, you may need medicine like Clomid (clomiphene) or Femara to help you ovulate regularly...Especially if you have a history of irregular cycles.
