Why can't I get pregnant even if I have sex during ovulation?

Why can’t I get pregnant even though I calculated the time and had sex after ovulation? This is the confusion faced by many couples who have been trying to conceive for a long time but cannot get pregnant. In fact, many people have misunderstandings about the ovulation period: having sex after ovulation is more likely to make you pregnant, but having sex after ovulation does not necessarily mean you will get pregnant! So, what is the reason why you can’t get pregnant even after ovulation?

1. No ovulation during the ovulation period

It is often easier to get pregnant during the ovulation period because women will release eggs during this period, but if the egg is not released during the theoretical ovulation period, then you will not be able to get pregnant no matter what you do.

2. Unhealthy egg cells

In order to get pregnant, you must first have healthy eggs and healthy sperm. If a woman's egg health is affected due to some reasons (such as gynecological diseases, etc.), the unhealthy egg cannot normally combine with sperm to produce sperm-egg fusion, and conception during ovulation will naturally become a fantasy.

3. Male reproductive organ deformity

Some women are born with or acquired reproductive organ deformities that can affect normal ovulation or sperm movement, thus affecting pregnancy.

4. Male sperm problems

When it comes to being unable to conceive, many people's first reaction is to think of the woman's problem. In fact, infertility may be a mutual problem. If there is a problem with the man's sperm, then it is impossible to conceive even after ovulation.

5. The body has sperm antibodies

Although this situation is rare, it cannot be ruled out. A small number of women carry a sperm antibody in their bodies that prevents the fusion of egg cells and male sperm, thus affecting pregnancy.

Finally, I would like to remind all couples who are preparing for pregnancy that although the chance of pregnancy is high after ovulation, there are many factors that affect pregnancy. If there is no sign of pregnancy after more than a year of preparation, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause of infertility and then treat it symptomatically.
