Question
Hello doctor,
My husband and I have sex right after ovulation but less than 24 hours. It has been 4 weeks since that day until I found out I was pregnant. So the doctor asked me to have sex after ovulation, can I get pregnant? I'm not late for my period or anything, but what's wrong with that? This makes my husband suspect that I am tired. Please advise, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is sex after ovulation pregnant? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
At each menstrual cycle, a woman's body releases 1 egg (sometimes 2 eggs). After ovulation, the egg can only live for 12 to 24 hours. If the egg does not meet the sperm to fertilize, the egg will stop developing, degenerate and form a menstrual phenomenon.
In the case of intercourse after ovulation, which is at least 1 day, ie more than 24 hours, you are less likely to conceive, but it does not mean that you will not be able to conceive. Because there are some cases of late ovulation that you do not know. Your case of pregnancy is completely reasonable.
If you still have questions about the relationship after ovulation, you can get pregnant, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
