Does ovulation occur simultaneously with LH surge or after? as I had LH surge, increase in my BB temperature and mittelschmerz pain at the same time. can i consider this as ovulation?

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
No, ovulation happens 12 to 36 hours AFTER your LH surge.
Now having an increase in basal body temperature and midcycle pain does mean you are ovulating.
Either way to increase your chances for conception you should have timed intercourse the same day and the day afterwards.
