Would having intercourse before the LH surge is detected better my chances of getting pregnant?
You can never step in the same river twice.

Have fun, but be safe, use a condom!
An LH surge will take place about ten to thirty-six hours before you ovulate. So, the moment you see that first positive, you've entered peak fertility. Typically, a surge lasts just a day or two, so you should be testing at least once daily during this general time frame. Peak fertility is the three days following the LH surge.
If the man's sperm count is below average, it may be best to refrain from daily sex prior to your fertile window in order to allow the sperm to replenish themselves and re-populate. While most doctors recommend that you make love throughout your cycle - not just during ovulation time - we must also consider the toll frequent lovemaking may take on the sperm count. Hence, if you are trying to conceive, some experts recommend that a man should not ejaculate more than every thirty-six hours, at least until peak fertility. During these key days, its advised to make love daily!
best of luck.
any intercoarse would better your chances ... but i'm not a doc.
