Will you get pregnant if you have unprotected sex on your ovulation day?

Patient's question:

I calculated that today, the 30th, is apparently ovulation day. In the morning, I had sexual intercourse with my husband, and we didn't take any contraceptive measures. I'm not sure if I might be pregnant. How many days after this situation can a pregnancy test usually show results?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, having intercourse during ovulation increases the chances of pregnancy. Withdrawal before ejaculation also carries the possibility of pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills are only effective if taken within 72 hours after sexual activity; beyond this time, they have no contraceptive effect. The earlier the pill is taken, the better its effectiveness. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have some impact on the pregnant individual. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should focus on self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
