For pregnancy, only after the egg and sperm combine can there be a fertilized egg, an embryo, and a fetus. So the necessary condition for pregnancy is the release of mature and well-developed follicles, which means that during this ovulation period, the sperm can combine with the egg. The sperm must also be of good quality and strong, otherwise it will affect conception. Is ovulation useful for sexual intercourse?
Is it useful to have sexual intercourse after ovulation
The survival time of follicles after discharge is generally around 8 hours. When the ultrasound detects follicles above 2.0cm, it indicates that ovulation may occur within 48 hours. The survival time of sperm in the body after discharge can reach 48-72 hours. Therefore, when mature follicles are detected by ultrasound, preparations for sexual intercourse can be made. Beyond 12 hours, the chances of conception are relatively reduced.
When is the pregnancy rate of sexual intercourse high
Actually, ovulation is an explosive, momentary event. It's also difficult for us to capture that moment through inspection. But we know that sperm and eggs have a lifespan. The time for sperm to survive and maintain fertilization ability in the female reproductive tract is 3-5 days. The lifespan of eggs is shorter, with only 12-24 hours of fertilization ability after ovulation. Therefore, there is a chance of pregnancy if you have sex between 3-5 days before ovulation and one day after ovulation.
There is a chance of pregnancy if follicles are discharged during sexual intercourse. To improve the fertility rate, we recommend having sexual intercourse two or three days before ovulation and one or two days after ovulation. Of course, this requires everyone to understand when the ovulation period is. The ovulation period is usually around 14 days before the next menstrual period, and it is the easiest time to conceive, so it is also known as the dangerous period.
