How long after ovulation should I have sex?

Ovulation test strips can detect the ovulation period of the human body. The chance of pregnancy during ovulation will increase. During ovulation, the hormones in the body will change, and the leucorrhea will become sticky. Generally, it is easier to get pregnant if you have sex 1 to 2 days after the double red bars on the ovulation test strip. In order to increase the chance of conception, you need to strengthen physical exercise and nutrition. After sex, you can raise your buttocks to allow sperm to better enter the uterine cavity.

Ovulation test strips are a commonly used method for detecting ovulation, which helps people effectively find out the time of ovulation. However, some people don't quite understand the significance of the test paper and don't know that the best time to have sex is after the test paper turns red. Let’s analyze it in detail below.

The time to have sex after the double red bar of ovulation

Ovulation test strips mainly check luteinizing hormone, because before ovulation, luteinizing hormone will reach its peak, which will be manifested as a strong positive change on the test strip. At this time, a significantly darkened double red bar will appear on the test strip. When this happens, it generally indicates that ovulation will occur within 24 hours. Therefore, if you increase the frequency of sexual intercourse appropriately within 1-2 days after the double red bars appear, the possibility of pregnancy will be higher.

An egg can only be produced once a month and can only survive in the body for about 24 hours, so it is very important to grasp the time of ovulation. After ovulation, there are also some typical examples, such as a small amount of vaginal bleeding, increased vaginal secretions, a slight increase in body temperature, etc. These can also help determine ovulation and increase pregnancy rates.

Is the test strip accurate in monitoring ovulation?

Ovulation monitoring with ovulation test strips is generally more accurate, and ovulation usually occurs within 48 hours of a strong positive ovulation test strip. However, this is a general estimate. Due to individual differences, there may be some different situations. For example, some people may ovulate when the test paper is weakly positive, while others may show a persistent strong positive result. In order to avoid missing the time of conception, it is generally recommended to have sex every other day starting from the weak positive ovulation test paper until the ovulation test paper becomes negative, which can increase the chance of conception. While monitoring with test strips, you can also use B-ultrasound monitoring to be more accurate and increase the chance of pregnancy.
