[|Human|] Hi,My wife  took injection for follicle rupture on 17th and we assume with the scan taken today that the rupture has taken place on 17th or 18th of this month. We had intercourse as advised by doctor but not frequent. Once a day. Do we need to still have intercourse? if we have intercourse will that add more chances? will the egg be in survival period ?Clement.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. A follicle ruptures and an egg is released from one ovary each month (ovulation). When the egg is released, chances of pregnancy are highest. To make the best utility of the situation, a couple is advised to have regular intercourse around a day before the time of expected ovulation and 4 days following it. In most women, the date of ovulation is usually 14 days before onset of next period and this is a constant in normal females. In your situation, the ovulation was confirmed using ultrasound scan and therefore having regular intercourse for 4 -5 days after the follicle rupture will help the most and that will be till today (23rd August). Hope this helps
