I'm using ovulation prediction tests, when it tests positive will it always be before ovulation or in some cases will it be positive after ovulation?

Ovulation in 1-2 day: Positive means you will ovulate in 1-2 days. Sometimes there may be a false positive if you have very high lh levels.This can happen with pco and all with perimenopause.
