Hi ladies
i was just wondering what the latest time after a positive OPK ovulation can be? I’ve heard 24-36 is the standard, but can’t find much beyond that. Does anyone OPK and temp, do you have a difference time gap?
thanks very much x

Found something, in case anyone finds this thread:

LH surges vary a lot in duration, although on average they last around 12 to 36 hours. A study observing 107 women over 326 cycles noted that 75% of them would ovulate under 48 hours after their first positive LH test (what we refer to as “peak fertility”).
For just 6% of them, their surge ended before the ovulation day was confirmed via ultrasound. For 94% of them, their LH surge continued after ovulation day and, out of these women, 60% still had positive LH tests more than 3 days after the egg was released!
This means that waiting until you receive your darkest LH test (indicating the highest concentration of LH in urine), may cause you to miss your fertile window entirely.
