Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Normal: Having a positive ovulation test on day 15 is perfectly normal. Intercourse is recommended every other day cycle days 10- 20 to optimize your chances of pregnancy. Ovulation predictor tests predict ovulation will occur within 48 hours so its best to have intercourse the day after the test is positive.
