Does the egg come out immediately after follicle puncture? Do you need to have sex the same day?

Patient's question:

My menstrual cycle has always been irregular. In September, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and fallopian tube adhesion. I underwent laparoscopic surgery for follicle puncture and fallopian tube correction, and have been recovering ever since.
On November 28, I had my period. On December 2, on the fifth day, I had an ultrasound and found the largest follicle was only 5x7 mm. I started taking clomiphene citrate tablets and conjugated estrogens tablets, and received five days of urofollitropin injections. On the 9th, I had another ultrasound (the first picture), received an ovulation-inducing injection, and was advised to have intercourse on the night of the 10th.
This afternoon, I had another ultrasound (the second picture), which showed no ovulation and that the follicles were still growing. The doctor said I must have the four follicles punctured, otherwise I won’t be able to get pregnant in the future. So I had the puncture done, which was a bit painful.

Doctor's answer:

After the follicle is punctured, ovulation occurs.
Advice:
If you have intercourse today and the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, the chances of pregnancy are very high. It is recommended that you undergo timely examination and treatment.
