Dr. Carline Louis-Jacques answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Ovulation sex: It is difficult to predict the exact hour that you ovulate. Usually if you had sex within 3-4 before ovulation, your pregnancy test could be positive the day after you missed your period.. It usually takes about 15-16 from fertilization for your test to become positive.
