Question : Hello Doctor, I am XXXX, 28 years, took ovulation injection on Saturday @12pm (Oct 18th, 2014). Today,, Tuesday i.e., 21st Oct, 2014 can I have intercourse @ 12:20am and can we expect pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you can have intercourse...explained
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.
From your query it appears that you have been seeking treatment for infertility and you have taken HCG injection for ovulation under supervision. Considering that you have not been planned for INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION, then timed intercourse should definitely be continued for next 5 days, even multiple times in a day which can increase the chances of pregnancy.
It takes 36 to 48 hrs for ovulation to occur after HCG injection, so you may safely have intercourse without protection for next 5 days.
Regards,
Dr.Sameer Kumar

so... if we husband and wife try tonight, there are chances of getting pregnant?
I got periods on 7th Oct, doctor gave me an injection on 18th Oct. I am little worried whether its too late to conceive, because its already 84 hours I took the injection! Will the egg be still alive?

Hello,
Thanks for the follow up.
Yes there are chances of getting pregnant during the fertile period, which you are in presently.
Once the ovulation occurs it stays. You continue having sex for next 5-7 days and multiple times in a day may further improve your chances of getting pregnant if the ovulation has occurred.
