Patient's question:
Is it safe to in the vagina during the post-ovulation safe period? What is the likelihood of pregnancy if you inside?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, waiting for fertilization; male sperm can maintain fertilizing ability in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, so sexual intercourse during the days before and after ovulation is more likely to result in pregnancy. For safety, we refer to the 5 days before ovulation, the 4 days after ovulation, and ovulation day itself as a total of 10 days, known as the fertile window. Because sexual intercourse during the fertile window is more likely to result in pregnancy, this period is also called the fertile period or the risky period.
