Hi,

Yes pregnancy is possible after rupture of the follicle. In fact pregnancy is possible only after rupture of the follicle. Now let me explain you this.A follicle ruptures to release egg. Usually the eggs released from the follicles of size between 18 mm and 21 mm are the healthiest eggs having maximum possibility of successful pregnancy.

An egg has a life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 3 days. Hence, sexual intercourse even 3 days before the rupture of a follicle (or release of an egg) can cause pregnancy.

Since the egg has a life of 24 hours, sexual intercourse within 24 hours of the rupture of follicle can result into pregnancy. I am sure that now you are convinced that unless the follicle is ruptured, egg cannot be released and thus pregnancy is not possible. The pregnancy is possible only after rupture of a follicle. From your history, it appears that you had sexual relations on the day of the follicular rupture, so you have maximum chances of pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
