Can Pregnancy Happen After Follicle Rupture If Followed By Intercourse?

I recently took Clomid to try to get pregnant. I went in for a follicle scan and my dr said I had one good follicle but it was still too small (15mm) So he had me come back three days later. After two days I did an OPK and it read positive. I went in for a follicle scan today and he said that my follicle must have ruptured on its own. My husband and I had intercourse last night. If my follicle ruptured yesterday, do I still have a chance of getting pregnant? My doctor told me to have intercourse tonight and tomorrow night also? Is that correct?

Hi,

Follicle size of 18-21 mm release best quality egg and high chance of pregnancy. Egg will live for 24 hours after rupturing. So you have to do sex before 24 hours and 24 to 72 hours after rupture of follicle. Your follicle has been ruptured and you had sex yesterday, so there is chance of pregnancy. Continue to do sex next 1-3 days. You can also take progesterone pill after ovulation. It will make uterine environment favorable for implantation and support pregnancy.

You can also use ovacre to support pregnancy. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, and drink plenty of water.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
