Can I get pregnant if the follicle ruptures?

Normal ovulation of women is a prerequisite for ensuring their fertility, and the mature eggs are released from the follicles. Many women have experienced ruptured ovarian follicles. When this happens, the biggest concern is whether they can still get pregnant if the ovarian follicles rupture. In fact, this is not certain. Some eggs will not be able to conceive if they do not develop well, but if the eggs at the tail end are basically mature, pregnancy is possible. The key is whether they can further combine with sperm to form a fertilized egg.

There is still a chance of conception even if the follicle ruptures. Ovulation only takes one day, and the fertilization ability is highest within 24 hours after ovulation. If you are considering the possibility of pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for a blood test HCG test to determine whether you are pregnant. The test is highly accurate and can be performed one week after sexual intercourse. The test strip test will only be accurate 14 days after sexual intercourse, and it is best to use the first morning urine test. For now, take more rest and relax.

Follicle rupture refers to ovulation, which is the process by which the egg cell and the surrounding cumulus granules are discharged. The ovaries of normal women of childbearing age release a mature egg every month. After the egg is released, it enters the fallopian tube and can generally survive for 1-2 days. The sperm produced by men is continuous. Sperm usually remains active in the female reproductive tract for 2-3 days, and its ability to conceive is between 48 hours. If a woman has sexual intercourse within a certain period of time before or after ovulation, she may become pregnant. This period of time is called the "ovulation period". It is very important to grasp this period. On the one hand, it can give couples who have become infertile due to missing the woman's ovulation period and having sex a great chance of conceiving.

How to get pregnant and when is the easiest time to conceive

We should first calculate when is the ovulation period?

1. Calculate ovulation period

If your menstrual cycle is regular, you can roughly calculate the day of ovulation and plan to have sex around the time of ovulation. Calculate when your next menstrual period might occur, and then work backwards 16 days to find your approximate ovulation date.

Here we take a 30-day menstrual cycle as an example: Day 1 (menstruation) Days 15-19 (ovulation) Day 30 (the day before the next menstruation)

This is the most commonly known method, but many people don’t quite understand it.

2. Basal body temperature measurement method

The basal body temperature of normal women changes cyclically during the menstrual cycle. Generally, ovulation occurs before the basal body temperature rises or during the process of rising from low to high. The increase in basal temperature after ovulation indicates that ovulation has occurred. The first three days when the basal temperature is at an elevated level are the "fertile period". The temperature increase is generally 0.3℃～0.C℃.

This method can indicate that ovulation has occurred, but it cannot predict when ovulation will occur.

3. Cervical mucus observation method

Generally, women with a normal menstrual cycle will feel a "dry period" in the genitals after the menstrual period ends, followed by a "wet period", then another "dry period" and the next menstrual period. The "moisture" here refers to the moist feeling of the vulva produced by the cervical mucus originating from the vagina.

Before and after menstruation, mucus is often thick and less in quantity, or even absent. In the middle of the menstrual cycle, the mucus will become thinner and more abundant. The closer to ovulation, the clearer and more transparent it becomes, resembling egg white, and is elastic, with the highest degree of silkiness and the smoothest feeling. The last day of this mucus is called the "peak day," and ovulation occurs 48 hours before and after it. Therefore, it is easy to get pregnant if you have sex during the "wet period" before ovulation until 3 days after the peak day.

These three methods all have their inaccuracies, so by combining the three methods, it is estimated that you will be able to conceive your baby on that day. Before ovulation, you should plan to reduce the number of sexual intercourse to ensure the quantity and quality of sperm. During the ovulation period, various conditions should be considered comprehensively, because the egg can generally only survive for 12 to 24 hours after being released, and the sperm can usually only survive for 1 to 3 days in the female reproductive tract. Therefore, generally speaking, it is easiest to get pregnant from 3 days before ovulation to 1 day after ovulation. It is not easy to get pregnant if you have sex too early or too late.
