Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, wants to get pregnant after marriage, but doesn't know how to get pregnant. Please ask: Is it easier to get pregnant three days before the warm-up period or three days after?Doctor's answer:
The chances of pregnancy for both are not high. Three days before menopause, the possibility of delivery after intercourse is not high, because sperm typically live in the body for 48 to 72 hours. Sperm pass through the cervical canal, enter the uterine cavity, and swim to the ampulla of the fallopian tube. Three days before menopause, it is possible that sperm may die before waiting for the egg to reappear. Three days after ovulation, the chances of pregnancy after intercourse are very small, because the lifespan of the egg is 12 to 24 hours after menopause. If the egg entering the fallopian tube meets sperm within 24 hours, the sperm and egg can fuse to form a zygote. Sperm in semen can live in the reproductive tract for 24 to 72 hours.
