We are trying since last month and im just curious how this whole thing works. Like does it happen same day or takes few days after? Thoda confused hu, pls share if u know.
It's all about the timing of your ovulation! Once you ovulate, the egg is viable for a short time, maybe 12 to 24 hours. Sperm can survive inside you for up to 5 days, so if you have sex a few days before ovulation, it can still lead to pregnancy. Tracking your basal body temp or using ovulation kits can help you know your fertile window better, but if you're really struggling, do consult your gynac.
Actually, this can vary a lot for different women. With PCOS, my cycles were irregular, so pinpointing the exact conception time was tough for me. Generally, an egg can be fertilized for about 12-24 hours after it's released, and sperm can live inside you for a few days. So, it's not instant, more like a window after sex.
So, basically, conception happens when a sperm fertilizes an egg. The egg is only available for fertilization for about 12-24 hours after ovulation. Sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days. So, if you have sex during your fertile window, fertilization can happen anytime within that small window, not necessarily immediately after sex.
Honestly, it's not immediately after haan. Conception happens when the egg and sperm meet, which means the egg has to be released first. So it depends on your ovulation window, usually within a day or two of the egg being released. Best to track your cycle to know your fertile window.
Mere saath bhi, I was also confused about this. They say once the egg is released, it's only available for a day or so. So it's not like seconds after sex, it's more linked to when your body releases the egg and when the sperm are present. Just try to enjoy the process, thoda stress kam lo!
