Patient's question:
Patient Age: 26Current General Condition: Hello, could you please advise the expert? I want to have a child. My girlfriend had her period on November 10th. When is the best time to conceive for the highest chance of pregnancy? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Okay, the highest chance of pregnancy occurs during intercourse during a woman's ovulation period. Ovulation is the process in which an egg cell and the surrounding cumulus oophorus cells are released. A woman's ovulation date 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 to be fertilized; a man's sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse in the days before and after ovulation increases the likelihood of conception. For safety, we refer to the 5 days before the ovulation day and the 4 days after it, including the ovulation day itself, as a total of 10 days, known as the ovulation period. Because sexual intercourse during the ovulation period increases the likelihood of conception, this period is also called the fertile window or the risky period. Wishing you health.
