Chances of Pregnancy After Egg Rupture

Chances of Pregnancy After Egg Rupture

Egg rupture is the act when a mature follicle in the ovary releases the ovum (egg) it contains. The chances of pregnancy after egg rupture are very high as it is followed by ovulation. Normally, the fertility rate is higher around the days following egg rupture. So it is advisable to keep track of egg rupture and ovulation day patterns to identify the days when chances of getting pregnant are higher

Chances Of Pregnancy After Egg Rupture

The chances of pregnancy after egg rupture are significantly high as it is followed by ovulation. It is crucial to understand that the timing of sexual intercourse relative to ovulation plays a pivotal role in enhancing fertility.

Normally, the fertility rate is higher around the days following egg rupture. Therefore, keeping track of egg rupture and ovulation day patterns is advisable to identify the optimal days for conception after ovulation.

Remember, sperm can stay alive in your body for around 5 days, adding flexibility to the timing of intercourse. Engaging in sexual activities 5 days before ovulation and 1 day after ovulation can significantly increase your chances of becoming pregnant.

When the egg is released from the follicle, some amount of free fluid remains in the pelvic cavity after follicle rupture, which is normal and typically reabsorbed by the body. The egg is then captured by the fimbriae—thread-like projections in the fallopian tube. It travels down the fallopian tube toward the uterus. If sperm are present in the womb when the egg descends through the fallopian tube, there is a high possibility of fertilization.

Sperm can live in the womb for around 5 to 7 days. Thus, sperm released in the uterus before the rupture of the egg can also aid in fertilization. This aligns with the advice to not restrict intercourse strictly to the day of ovulation but to consider a window around this event.

The egg, however, has a lifespan of just about 12 to 24 hours in the womb. Thus, the chances of fertilization on the day of ovulation are even higher. It’s important to note that while the egg can get fertilized on its way down the fallopian tube, this could potentially result in an ectopic pregnancy, which may turn fatal. Hence, it is usually safer to wait a few days after the egg rupture to attempt conception, ensuring the egg is in the proper location for a healthy pregnancy.

After Egg Rupture How Many Days To Get Pregnant

The ideal time to attempt pregnancy is around a few days, normally five days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. This period is commonly called the fertility window. However, the period of fertility differs for each menstrual cycle length.

A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine stated that there could be around 12% conception probability on the day after ovulation, a 33% chance on the day of ovulation, and an ascending 16% to 30% chance on the four days before ovulation respectively.

Symptoms Of Pregnancy After Egg Rupture

Not all women experience the same symptoms of pregnancy after egg rupture. But a missed period can be a sure sign of pregnancy.

Other pregnancy-confirming symptoms to look out for after egg rupture include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Cramps
  • Light spotting
  • Abdominal pain or discomfort
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Breast tenderness
  • Frequent urination urge
  • Fatigue
  • Weariness
  • Mood swings
  • Change in food preferences etc.

The above-listed symptoms are only possible indicators of pregnancy and do not confirm pregnancy. Some women may never experience any of these symptoms even after weeks into pregnancy. So it is advisable to take a medically recommended pregnancy test to confirm pregnancy.

When To Take Pregnancy Test After Egg Rupture

Wait until 2 weeks before you test for pregnancy. The fertilized egg roughly takes around 5 to 6 days to travel to the uterus and implant in it. So instead of hurrying to take a pregnancy test do wait it out.

You can try the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test which can show results just after 10 days of attempting pregnancy. Yet to avoid false positive or negative results it is better to wait for at least 14 days before taking a pregnancy test.

Precautions To Be Taken After Egg Rupture

If you are planning on pregnancy, follow the following practices after egg rupture:

Make Room for Rest: You need not stay a couch potato. But it is vital to rest to have both your body and mind ready for possible pregnancy. Maintain good health to have a healthy menstrual cycle.

Staying Relaxed: Keep yourself away from stressful situations. Stress can cause huge hormonal imbalances which will affect your fertility.

Healthy Diet: A proper diet including green and leafy vegetables, fruits, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and so on is inevitable to have a healthy menstrual cycle and fertility window.

reason why not getting pregnant after egg rupture

Not getting pregnant after egg rupture can be due to various factors. Common reasons include hormonal imbalances, poor egg quality, or issues with sperm motility. Additionally, timing of intercourse may not align with the egg’s viability period, or there could be underlying conditions like blocked fallopian tubes or endometriosis. It’s crucial to consult a fertility specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate guidance.

Conclusion

The chances of pregnancy after egg rupture are higher. Calculate your fertility window to attempt pregnancy at the right time. Also, be aware of ectopic pregnancy.

Use tools such as basal body temperature charting, ovulation predictor kits, cycle charting apps, fertility monitors, and cervical mucus method to monitor your fertility window.
