Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

As you might be aware that Unprotected sex act on and around the day of ovulation can help you get pregnant.
Also, sperms are alive and active for 24 to 36 hours after the intercourse.
So with positive prediction test within 24 hours indicates that your sexual activity was around the day of ovulation. So you stand chance to get pregnant. You may opt to have sexual activity again , if you feel like having it.

So please do not worry.
Think positive. Start on Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery.
May God bless you with a bundle of joy.
I hope this answer helps you. Thanks.
