Many women do not want children when they first get married, and as they age, they become difficult to conceive. Many women are cautious about conceiving, and even more cautious, they are always afraid of doing something that may affect their normal conception. So, does having sex after ovulation affect implantation? Many women are asking this question. If you don't know, read this article.
1、 Factors affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs that are of concern to women preparing for pregnancy
1. Does having sex affect the implantation of fertilized eggs?
@Doubi Xuezi: Six days after ovulation, my husband and I had sex. I wonder if it will affect the implantation of the fertilized egg?
Expert: Having sex will not affect the fertilized egg's ability to sit on the bed. Normal movements and activities, including sexual activity, will not affect the fertilized egg's implantation. Fertilization occurs within 12 hours after ovulation, and the entire fertilization process takes about 24 hours.. Sperm has strong activity and generally has the ability to fertilize within 72 hours, while eggs generally do not fertilize after 24 hours and have a strong ability to fertilize within 12 hours. Normal sexual intercourse generally does not have a significant impact on pregnancy.
2. Does having sex after ovulation affect the implantation of fertilized eggs?
@Meng Han: I was already fertilized on the day of my ovulation. Will loving my husband after the ovulation period affect the implantation of the fertilized egg?
Expert: Having sex on the day of ovulation does not immediately result in fertilization. And the entire fertilization process takes about 24 hours. On the fourth day after fertilization, the blastocyst enters the uterine cavity and takes about 6-7 days to implant. Therefore, having sex after ovulation will not affect the implantation of fertilized eggs. However, after confirming pregnancy, try to avoid sexual intercourse within 3 months of early pregnancy to prevent miscarriage.
2、 The factors that truly affect the implantation of fertilized eggs
1. The fertilized egg itself has defects
Most of the time, the healthiest sperm and egg combine, but in some special cases, abnormal sperm may combine with the egg first, and sometimes it is because after the egg combines with one sperm, a second sperm also combines with the same egg, resulting in a fertilized egg with congenital defects. Therefore, before preparing for pregnancy, both husband and wife should check their chromosomes for abnormalities in order to ensure the smooth implantation of healthy fertilized eggs.
2. Ovarian corpus luteum dysfunction, insufficient progesterone secretion, and abnormal endometrium can affect the implantation of fertilized eggs.
Some women who have been married for many years and have normal sexual life have no hope of getting pregnant, which is likely due to poor ovarian corpus luteum function, insufficient progesterone secretion, and abnormal endometrium, thereby affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs. Therefore, pregnant women should undergo six hormone tests. Hormone six item examination is the most commonly used method for testing male and female endocrine function, which can timely understand diseases related to endocrine disorders by measuring sex hormone levels. The results of the six tests for sex hormones can to some extent reflect whether the female endocrine system is disrupted and whether ovarian ovulation is normal.
3. Uterine factors
These factors in the uterus affect the smooth implantation of fertilized eggs. Therefore, women preparing for pregnancy can undergo relevant treatments through hysteroscopy in order to successfully conceive a baby. Hysteroscopy can directly examine intrauterine lesions and quickly make accurate diagnoses for most uterine diseases. By examining the cervix, uterine cavity, and bilateral fallopian tube openings through hysteroscopy, the causes of interference with the implantation of the fertilized egg can be discovered. At the same time, hysteroscopy can also be used for related uterine surgeries to reduce physical and psychological trauma for pregnant women.
4. Immune factors
For women, male sperm and semen are obviously foreign objects. But under normal circumstances, women do not produce anti sperm antibodies. Only under certain circumstances, such as inflammation and damage to the female reproductive tract, antibodies can also be produced in female serum and cervical mucus. At this time, macrophages in the female reproductive tract, especially in the uterus, can trigger an immune response and perform "self-defense", which can cause sperm that have penetrated the cervix to become inactive, agglutinate, or die.
Two immune conditions affect conception
Homologous immunity: Sperm, seminal plasma, or fertilized egg are antigenic substances that are absorbed by the vaginal and uterine epithelium, and produce antibody substances through immune reactions, preventing sperm and egg from binding or preventing fertilized egg from implanting.
Autoimmunity: It is believed that infertile women have autoantibodies against the zona pellucida in their serum, which can react with the zona pellucida to prevent sperm from penetrating the egg and thus prevent fertilization.
5. Excessive mental tension
Especially severe anxiety and excessive psychological pressure due to not being pregnant.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that having sex after ovulation does not affect the implantation of fertilized eggs, nor does it affect the normal pregnancy of women. If you want to successfully conceive a small life, it's best to read the content of this article carefully, which can make your pregnancy more smooth sailing.
