Can intercourse during ovulation lead to pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hydrosalpinx, gynecological history, no sexual activity for four months, now having intercourse during ovulation, can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The ovulation date of a woman is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilization ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation is easy to conceive. For safety, we call the 5 days before the ovulation date, the 4 days after, and the ovulation date itself, totaling 10 days, as the ovulation period.
