Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I had an ovulation test at the hospital on November 16, 2005. That night, we had intercourse, but this morning when I used a pregnancy test, there was no result. Will I get pregnant this month? When should I test again? Also, before getting pregnant, both my husband and I had pre-pregnancy tests, and there were no issues! Why can't I get pregnant? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
If you want to get pregnant, you can start having intercourse every other day starting from the first day of your ovulation period. Usually, you will get pregnant without any special circumstances. When you detect that both lines are very dark on one day, or the test line is darker than the control line, it means your egg is about to be released (it will be released within 12 to 48 hours). At this time, you should test every 4 hours. When you see the test line becoming lighter than the control line, it means the egg has just been released. This is the best time to arrange for intercourse, as the chances of getting pregnant are likely to be the highest. If you're not sure, you can arrange for intercourse again on the second day or the day after to reinforce the chances.
