Having sex during ovulation can ensure a higher chance of conception, but some couples may feel that having sex before ovulation is more effective. Therefore, they may choose to have sex the day before ovulation. However, they may also worry that the sperm during intercourse will not wait for the egg at this time. So, will the sperm during intercourse wait for the egg on the day before ovulation? Let's take a look at the answer.
If you come for sexual intercourse one day before ovulation, it is possible to conceive. Generally speaking, the ideal time for conception is within twelve hours after ovulation. However, regardless of which method is chosen to determine the ovulation time, it is generally difficult to determine the specific days of ovulation and the exact time of follicle rupture.
Moreover, the survival time of the egg itself is not very long, and after ovulation, the sperm in sexual intercourse still need to travel for a period of time, and the travel time cannot be accurately calculated. Therefore, some doctors suggest that couples preparing for pregnancy should have sexual intercourse within a week of ovulation, and then check the ovulation time through body temperature monitoring or ovulation test strips. They should come to sexual intercourse near the ovulation time to ensure that the sperm runs first, so that the chances of conception are relatively higher.
During the preparation period for pregnancy, it is important to ensure that you have sufficient energy and are in a relaxed state both physically and mentally during sexual intercourse. Only at this time can sexual intercourse increase the likelihood of conception.
