Does The Ruptured Eggs Confirms Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor, my name is Zainab Chunawala and I am 25 yrs old. I was married in 2004, and have a baby girl of 4.5 yrs old. Now I am planning for a second child since last 4-5 months. I even visited my gyn. She had suggested to go for a follicular study. My last cycle started on 26th June and then I conducted the Follicular study from 2nd July -till 8th July. Then the doctor told that the eggs are rupted on 8th July and to continue with the relationship for next 3 - 4 days. She also suggested to take the Dubagest - 200 twice a day for 5 days. I just want to confirm whether I have conceived. Does it means that the eggs ruputred is a confirmed pregnancy.
It is mentioned in a report that RO - 1) Ruptured & 2) 11mm. LO 1) 14 mm.
Request you to please call me or mail me.

Dear Zainab,
In fact the egg does not rupture; what ruptures is the follicle in which egg is situated. After the rupture of follicle, the egg is released (ovulation) which is picked up by the tubes in which the sperms meet the egg and by one of the sperms the egg gets fertilized causing conception.
So evidence of release of egg is not an evidence of pregnancy, it is an evidence that you are ovulating normally. Meeting of the sperms is another event and then the pregnancy.
The follicles which rupture between 18 to 21 mm of size and ovulate have got better chances of healthy pregnancy. The ovulation from larger follicles has poor chances of healthy pregnancy.
To have the evidence of pregnancy, you will have to wait till you miss your period. 7-10 days after the missed period, urine pregnancy test may give you the indication of pregnancy. Done earlier, this test may give false negative result.
The other option you have got for early diagnosis of pregnancy is to go for Beta hCG test which will give you reliable results even few days prior to the missed period.
I hope this helps you.
