Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Hello doctor!
I have been married for over a year and have not been able to get pregnant. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a checkup and was told that my uterus is retroverted.
My last menstrual period started on December 28, 2005, and ended on the 4th. I had intercourse on the 6th and again on the 8th. On the 8th, I placed a pillow under my buttocks during intercourse, but some sperm still leaked out during the night. Then, on the 10th morning, I had intercourse again. After waiting for about 15 minutes, I went to the bathroom, and it still came out.
Could you please tell me if my ovulation day was between January 6 and 15, 2006? I read online that after the egg is released, it only survives for...
Doctor's answer:
Having intercourse during the ovulation period is relatively easy to get pregnant. If your menstrual cycle is regular, the ovulation period is usually 14 days before your period, with a possible deviation of up to 4 days.If you want to avoid pregnancy, in addition to methods like intrauterine devices (IUDs), birth control pills, and condoms, you can also rely on your safe period or withdrawal (ejaculation outside the body) as contraceptive methods. However, the calculation of the safe period is quite risky for women with irregular menstrual cycles, as irregular periods make it difficult to accurately determine the safe period. Additionally, withdrawal (ejaculation outside the body) also carries a certain degree of unpredictability. Generally, even with withdrawal, a small amount of semen may still remain inside the body, so these methods are not the most reliable forms of contraception.
Moreover, if you want to get pregnant, it’s essential to prepare for conception. Trace elements like zinc and selenium play a significant role in both male and female preconception. These trace elements not only improve sperm quality but also promote female ovulation and the implantation of fertilized eggs. Both men and women can take high-Jixing tablets during preconception to enhance the quality of sperm and eggs, thereby increasing the chances of conception.
