Patient's question:
Is it more likely to get pregnant before or after ovulation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the date of ovulation for women is generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period. After the egg is released from the ovary, it can survive for 1-2 days in the fallopian tube, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain its vitality in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation is more likely to result in pregnancy. For safety, we refer to the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation itself as a total of 10 days, known as the fertile period. Sperm can survive in the body for 4-5 days. It is recommended that you maintain a calm state of mind.
