The LH surge can occur anywhere between 3 and 28 days after the first observable signs of heat, although the average is 8-12 days. Ovulation occurs 2 days after the LH surge. The eggs then take an additional 2 to 3 days to complete maturation. At that point they can support fertilization and live an additional 48-72 hours.
