How long after a strong positive ovulation test does ovulation occur?

A strong positive result on an ovulation test strip typically indicates that ovulation is about to occur. Specifically, ovulation usually takes place within 24 to 48 hours after a strong positive result. Ovulation test strips work by detecting the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in a woman's urine to predict ovulation. When LH reaches its peak, the ovulation test will display a strong positive result, which generally indicates that ovulation is likely to occur within the next 24 to 48 hours. However, this time frame is not absolute, as the timing of ovulation may be influenced by individual differences, emotional changes, lifestyle factors, and other variables. To increase the chance of conception or to avoid unintended pregnancy, women can reasonably schedule intercourse or take other contraceptive measures based on their personal needs and circumstances after obtaining a strong positive result on an ovulation test.
