Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
Since the follicle ruptured on 18th day, that means ovulation has occurred on this day. Having unprotected intercourse at this time gives you a 15-35% chance of getting pregnant.
Gestofit is just progesterone given to support corpus luteum & for proper implantation of fertilized ovum into endometrium. This means that it helps to maintain the pregnancy once you become pregnant.
Side effects include nausea, weight gain, water retention, changes in the breast, headache and depression.
I hope this answers your query.
Let me know if I can address any more concerns
