Men and women having sex after ovulation

During a woman's menstrual cycle, her ovaries go through several cycles, one of which is ovulation. During ovulation, a woman’s egg is released from the ovary and taken up by the fallopian tube into the uterus, the site of fertilization. If a woman successfully releases and fertilizes eggs during her menstrual cycle, they will implant in the uterus and develop into a fetus over the next few weeks.

For men, their reproductive organs also undergo some changes during the menstrual cycle. During the first 14 days of the menstrual cycle, male sperm is removed from the testicles and stored in the epididymis. When a woman's eggs meet during ovulation, the sperm in the epididymis will enter the woman's fallopian tube and combine with the egg in the ovary to form a fertilized egg. If the male successfully expels sperm during the menstrual cycle and fertilizes the female, they will implant in the uterus and develop into a fetus within the next few weeks.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, sexual intercourse between men and women after ovulation can maximize fertility. However, for some, this may not mean it's a good time to have sex. For example, if a man suffers from certain diseases or is in poor health, or a woman suffers from certain diseases or is in poor health, having sex after they ovulate may have negative health effects.

For men who do not successfully expel sperm during their menstrual cycle, having intercourse after ovulation may increase fertility. This is because men who do not successfully expel sperm during their menstrual cycle will not be able to mate with the woman, so they will not form a fertilized egg and thus pregnancy will not occur.

For women who do not successfully release an egg during their menstrual cycle, having intercourse after ovulation may increase fertility. This is because a woman who does not successfully release an egg during her menstrual cycle will not be able to mate with a man, so they will not form a fertilized egg and therefore will not become pregnant.

Therefore, intercourse after ovulation may increase fertility in both men and women who do not successfully expel sperm or eggs during their menstrual cycle. However, if they or their spouse has any medical issues or is in poor health, then they should seek the advice of a doctor or professional healthcare professional before having sex.
