When Will The Follicles Get Ruptured After HCG Injection?
Hi,
My wife did scan to check the follicle size. The HCG injection was given when the follicle size was 19. How much time (hrs) does it take for follicles to get ruptured after HCG injection?
Also, once the follicle is ruptured, what is the maximum time within which the intercourse should happen to conceive?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After HCG injection, it takes 36 hours for the follicles to get ruptured. After follicle rupture the egg remains alive for 24 hours. So you should have intercourse within 24 hours of ovulation. Please note that the sperms remain alive in the female body for up to 6 days. So you can have intercourse even before the follicle ruptures. Your wife should take 1 tablet of folic acid daily.
To increase the chances of conception you both should maintain normal BMI, quit smoking (if you're a smoker) and have intercourse at least 3 times in a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramadevi Wani
