Question 1

after you ovulate and your egg dies out(2 days  after ovulation) does the vagina stay dry. or is the vagina dry when you have the egg in the vagina?

Accepted Answer

Cycle changes: hormones peak at ovulation and go downward. The level of hormones affects vaginal wall thickness, etc but the egg itself is not related

Question 2

i am from india. since egg will be available for fertilization only up to 24 hours , chances of getting pregnant from sex 2 days(48 hours) after ovulation is zero? that is the logic. correct?

Accepted Answer

: A released egg will be able to be fertilized for 24-48 hours, but sperm can remain viable for multiple days, so exposure to sperm even before release of the egg will extend the "fertile period" accordingly to five or six days.  If ovulation times are regular and occur fourteen days prior to the next period, one can plan for conception by sexual exposure 3-4 d prior to ovulation and 2 d after.

Question 3

compliment of the season doctors! how early can fertilization of egg and sperm occur post ovulation ?

Accepted Answer

: mature eggs can be fertilized once released for 48-72 hours, and exposure to adequate sperm can occur even if sperm is available 24-48 hours prior to release of a mature egg.  Once ovulation occurs, it is the capacity of the egg which determines whether successful fertilization occurs.

Question 4

today is 9 days after ovulation but i still see mucus why? i had sex one day after my ovulation does it mean anything?

Nope : Mucous is not a reliable indicator. If you think you might be pregnant check a pregnancy test if you miss your period.

Accepted Answer

24 Hours: According to american pregnancy association an unfertilized egg only remains viable for only 24 hours after ovulation.So sex couple of days after ovulation is less likely to result in pregnancy and if you take Plan B it has a better chance of preventing pregnancy.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Wait 10-14 days and: repeat the test.  You might get your period by then, or if not maybe the test is then positive.  If still no period and no positive tests, either wait another 2 weeks or see a doctor for more detailed testing to be done, usually a blood test.

Question 9

Question 10

28-29day cycle. had sex 3 days after lmp which was 28/7. ovulated 4/5. can sperm live long enough to fertilize egg?

Accepted Answer

Some will be alive: Nobody knows how long a specific person's sperm will survive in a specific person's body, on a particular day, amongst certain activities... which means it's all an unknown (so, maybe 3-7 days). One can avoid worrying about sperm lifespans, by either using contraception properly if not wanting a baby, or by having sex daily for several days around ovulation time if wanting a baby.
