Ovulation refers to the process in which a mature follicle ruptures and releases a secondary oocyte along with the zona pellucida, corona radiata, and follicular fluid from the ovary. This process occurs cyclically and is an important phase of the ovarian cycle. Typically, ovulation day is calculated as 14 days before the first day of the next menstrual period. The ovulation period generally includes ovulation day itself, plus the two days before and after. Generally speaking, couples who are trying to conceive can continue having intercourse after ovulation. Having intercourse after ovulation does not interfere with embryo implantation, does not reduce the likelihood of pregnancy, nor does it cause any discomfort in women, so sexual activity can continue normally.
Couples who are planning pregnancy should develop healthy lifestyle habits and undergo regular medical check-ups at the hospital.
