Patient's question:
Hello doctor!I got my period on December 1st and it ended on the 8th. I used an ovulation test strip on the 13th and it showed ovulation. We had intercourse, and almost every day from ovulation to the end of my cycle. The pregnancy rate should be quite high, right?
But this morning, I woke up with a slight lower back pain and felt weak. What could be the matter? The past few days, my stomach has been cramping a lot. Does this mean I'm not pregnant again?
Doctor's answer:
??????Ovulation intercourse is a necessary condition for pregnancy, but having this condition alone does not guarantee pregnancy. Whether or not one can get pregnant is a matter for both partners. First, the sperm must be active and of good quality, with no issues; additionally, the egg must be of good quality, and the fallopian tubes should not be blocked, with no pelvic inflammation, etc. Also, the emotional state of both partners matters—do not be impatient, as sometimes the more one rushes, the harder it becomes to conceive. It is important to let nature take its course.
