Patient's question:
Around 5 days after ovulation, menstruation comes. In this case, can pregnancy occur?Doctor's answer:
Hello! For those with regular menstrual cycles, the probability of pregnancy is lower because ovulation typically occurs around 14 days before the next menstrual period. The egg can survive for only 1 to 2 days after being released, while sperm can survive in the vagina for 2 to 3 days. Based on this, the fertile window is considered to be 4 days before ovulation and 5 days after ovulation. The days seven days before the menstrual period and eight days after are considered the safe period for adult women, which is a common method used for contraception. When using the safe period method for contraception, basal body temperature should be measured for three months to identify the regular ovulation period.
