Patient's question:
NoDoctor'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, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in a woman's reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation increases the likelihood of conception.
