Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is 30 days, very regular. Last month, I had intercourse on the day of ovulation, but my period has been delayed by 4 days so far. I bought a pregnancy test kit and took a test, but it came back negative. My period is usually very regular, and I had intercourse on the day of ovulation this time. I searched online and found that it might be too soon to detect.What kind of help do I need: Is the chance of pregnancy high when having intercourse on the day of ovulation?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, for women with relatively normal menstrual cycles, ovulation typically occurs around 14 days before the next menstrual period. At this time, the likelihood of ovulation in the female ovary is higher. The chances of conception are highest around two days before and after the ovulation day, because the egg can survive in the body for 1-2 days after being released, and sperm can survive in the body for up to 72 hours. Therefore, the chances of pregnancy are higher if intercourse occurs on the ovulation day or the day before. If you want to get pregnant, you can have intercourse on the day when the test shows strong positive. Do not be overly anxious, as high stress can also affect pregnancy. After ejaculation, you can elevate your hips to increase the chances of conception.
