Brief Answer:
More than 50 %

Detailed Answer:
IF the egg has ruptured today, please remain sexually active today onwards for the next 5 days.
If there are no other complicating factors ( blocked tubes, faulty semen analysis , fibroids ) etc, chances of conception around ovulatory days are more than 50 %.

Brief Answer:
You need to remain sexually active after ovulation

Detailed Answer:
I am very sorry.
NO doctor would say NO for sex after rupture of egg ( ovulation ) as that is when you are most fertile.
Your doctor would be able to fill in the gaps here.
If the egg has ruptured, you can conceive only if you remain sexually active.
