Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and I have been married to my partner for 2 years. Previously, I had no plans to have a baby, but seeing my best friend's cute baby recently, I decided to start trying for a pregnancy. Can I have an ultrasound to check ovulation right after having sex?Doctor's answer:
It can be tested. The follicle check is usually done through a vaginal ultrasound on the 9th day of the menstrual cycle. As long as there is a high-quality follicle with a diameter of about 1.8 centimeters, coitus can help achieve pregnancy. Before the follicle check, the external genitalia should be cleaned. Around the time of ovulation, coitus can be performed, with one session every other day. After coitus, it is also possible to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine if your follicle has been released.
