Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The discipline of pregnancy through withdrawal during ovulation. First follow-up question: What is the probability of pregnancy through withdrawal during ovulation?Doctor's answer:
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 in the fallopian tube for 1-2 days. Male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days. Therefore, sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation increases the likelihood of conception. 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 window. Because sexual intercourse during the fertile window increases the likelihood of conception, it is also called the fertile period or the risky period. If contraceptive measures are taken during this time, the chances of pregnancy are relatively low.
