Brief Answer:
Can have sex after ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
If you remain sexually active after ovulation, it will not disturb any pregnancy if it has occurred.
For pregnancy to occur, you should remain sexually active daily / alternate day from day 10 - day 20 of menstrual cycle, if cycles are regular, and counting first day of bleeding as day 1.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
