Is Conception Possible Here?

I would like to know if I couldbe Pregnant if my ovulation kit turned positive on may 28, had sex may 27, 29,30. My period would havebeen due any where around June 10,11,12. My period usually comes anywhere from 28-32 days on average but rarely it has been known to come after 37 days but only happened onceor twiice in my lifetime. What do you think I should do?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Ovulation kits detect the LH surge that occurs prior to ovulation and not the exact act or time of ovulation. Basal body temperature recording is a better detector of ovulation. With a positive reading on the kit, ovulation can happen up to 36 hours later. Since you had the intercourse during this period, your chances of conception are pretty good. You can wait until your longest expected period and go for a HPT 3-7 days later or get the blood test done ten days after expected ovulation to confirm/exclude pregnancy and plan further management. Hope this helps.
