  Hello Jenny33, ?To know the best time to get pregnant, it is first important to evaluate when your ovulation due is. Then, once you know your ovulation period, you can time sexual intercourse in accordance with it to increase your chances of getting pregnant.? ?A rise in body temperature can also be an indication though it cannot really pin point the best time to get pregnant. Following ovulation, your basal body temperature can increase by 0.5 to 1.6 degrees. You won't feel the shift, but you can detect it by using a basal thermometer. This temperature hike is caused due to increase in the production of the hormone progesterone stimulated by ovulation. The best time to get pregnant is in the two or three days before your temperature hits its high point. A few experts think you may have an additional 12 to 24 hour window of fertility after you first notice the temperature creep up, but most say at that point it's too late to make a baby. Charting your basal temperature for a few months can help you pinpoint when you ovulate. This allows you to plan having sex 2 to 3 days before ovulation to increase your chances of getting pregnant.? http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/best-time.html ?Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin that can help reduce the risk of serious birth defects that affect the brain and spinal cord. For this reason, the FDA recommends that all women attempting pregnancy take folic acid supplements for decreasing chances of birth defects.? http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/getting-pregnant.html Timing is Everything - ?You will have little chance of getting pregnant if you had sex on the wrong days and missed the most fertile ones. Figure out your ovulation days with our ovulation calendar to increase your chances of conception. Read our articles on Ovulation and Signs of ovulation to assist you in knowing your fertile period. Ovulation predictor kits can also help you figure out when you're ovulating by detecting hormones in your urine that signal ovulation is about to occur.? And: Quit smoking, drinking and drugs - now Cut down on Caffeine Get your weight in check Mind Control Buy something sexy Positioning yourself Increase the Odds And finally ?Ask your partner to chuck all briefs and opt for boxers instead for a healthy sperm count. Also, having sex in the morning would help since the semen has the highest number of sperm then.? http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/getting-pregnant.html ?Dr. Wilcox says, "If the average healthy couple wants to get pregnant, they are just as well off to relax and forget "fertile windows" and simply engage in unprotected intercourse at least two or three times over the course of each week." http://www.niehs.nih.gov/oc/factsheets/pregnant/home.htm ?Well, strangely, and I know this isn't easy, the best way to conceive a child is not to be too concerned about it. There's a strange thing seems to happen which is that the more it is a big deal for you the harder it is to get pregnant. The important thing is to enjoy your sex life and your relationship and just don't use any form of contraception. Then it will happen when it will happen. So what about frequency? To a certain extent, yes, the more times you have sex the more chances you have of conceiving. However, remember how your monthly cycle works. About 14 days BEFORE a period you produce an egg cell. The two or three days before this happens and the week after it happens are the days you are most likely to conceive. It is possible to conceive at other times but much less so (some people even use calendar prediction for contraception, only having sex well before the egg cell is produced and well afterwards). Enjoy life, relax, and especially enjoy sex around the middle of your cycle.? Dr Bob Leckridge http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/pregnancyandchildbirth/205959.html ?Assuming there are no fertility problems, it may still take several months to conceive. In fact a couple without fertility problems has only a 25% chance of making a baby each month. Therefore, timing intercourse may be very helpful to enhance the chance for pregnancy. It is important to remember however, that many other factors must be present for fertilization to take place. The male must produce a sufficient number of normal, actively moving sperm in order to achieve conception? ?The Key to timing intercourse to the 4 day window most likely to result in pregnancy is to monitor your menstrual cycle and predict ovulation. Simply put, a woman who wishes to become pregnant may increase her chances of conception enormously by having intercourse around the time of ovulation. Fortunately, tools exist to assist in this process. Some basic tests that can be performed at home to predict/monitor ovulation are urinary ovulation prediction testing and basal body temperature monitoring (BBT). Monitoring certain body signs such as cervical mucus consistency and quantity may also be helpful along with these tests. We will begin our discussion with ovulation prediction testing.? Please read the entire site here, and all the sites I have posted for complete information. http://www.fertilitext.org/p1-101/most_fertile.html ?Watch for changes in cervical mucus - Just before ovulation, you'll notice an increase in clear, slippery vaginal secretions ? if you check for it. These secretions typically resemble raw egg whites. After ovulation, when the odds of becoming pregnant are slim, the discharge will become cloudy and sticky or disappear entirely. ? Pros: Changes in vaginal secretions are often an accurate sign of impending fertility. Simple observation is all that's needed, particularly inside the vagina. ? Cons: Judging the texture or appearance of vaginal secretions can be somewhat subjective.? ?Don?t take medication without your doctor's OK. Certain medications ? even those available without a prescription ? can make it difficult to conceive. Others may not be safe once you're pregnant.? http://www.mayoclinic.com/print/how-to-get-pregnant/PR00103/METHOD=print& ?Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.? ?Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.? http://www.justmommies.com/articles/how-to-get-pregnant.shtml ?But the problem is accurately identifying this fertile time as it varies from woman to woman and also in individuals. It usually happens about two weeks before the period, but it could be earlier or later. If you want to get pregnant, there are two ways to time sex to coincide with the fertile time. One way is to have sex every day. If you are too tired for this, take your temperature every morning at the same time before you get out of bed and record it carefully. While your temperature will vary slightly from day to day, it will rise sharply by about 0.2 degrees C and stay up at the time of ovulation. That's the time. Enjoy two days of frantic sex. Some women can also feel the time of ovulation by a change in the way they feel inside, or by bleeding slightly. This method is often advocated as a contraceptive-free way of actually avoiding getting pregnant, but it is not reliable enough. There are many other reasons why your temperature might rise, leading to the impression that three days later you are safe. You can't really rely on using this knowledge as a foolproof method of contraception, as it is too hard to tell exactly when ovulation occurs. Interesting to note that the texture of vaginal mucus also changes during the fertile period and many women feel higher libido at this time as well. Oh, and if the woman puts a pillow under her hips during intercourse it increases penetration and hence improves the chance of conception! Which brings us nicely on to the fact that... ? http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A467912 ?Go over all of the medicines you take (prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines you buy without prescriptions, and herbals) with your doctor and ask if they are safe to take while you are trying to get pregnant or are pregnant.? ?Ask your partner to limit how much alcohol he drinks. If he uses illegal drugs or smokes, encourage him to quit. Studies show that men who drink a lot, smoke, or use drugs can have problems with their sperm. These might cause you to have problems getting pregnant.? http://www.4woman.gov/Pregnancy/planning.cfm ?Only 20% of women who are trying to get pregnant are successful on the first attempt, so don't lose hope or assume something is wrong.? http://www.4woman.gov/Pregnancy/planning.cfm#2 ?If the mathematics don't add up, it's because many couples experience more than one problem when trying to conceive: for example, you may suffer from endometriosis, but your partner may also have a low sperm count. Interestingly, the most common cause of infertility is 'unexplained', which means that following thorough investigations, doctors can find no specific or identifiable medical problem at the root. But this is where a natural approach can come into play. If a couple fails to become pregnant, there is obviously something causing the problem. It's no good labelling infertility 'unexplained'. The answer is to look deeper - at lifestyle factors, nutritional deficiencies and even emotional elements.? http://www.marilynglenville.com/infertility.htm Trying to Conceive Diet http://www.babyzone.com/features/content/display.asp?topicid=9217&contentid=1553&scf=3020 ?Women having difficulty conceiving tend to not realize that their life is their garden, not merely their womb. Many women's lives tend to be jam-packed with work, or they are so stressed they don't have an extra moment to nurture themselves in a day's time. Or they have become so out-of-balance emotionally, that these emotional weeds are choking out the potential for seeding and sprouting. In other words, their energy is not conducive to creating a garden in which successful conception and pregnancy can occur. There is nothing mystifying at all about why so many of these women have fertility problems or miscarriages: their "fertility switch" is "off!" When on a fertility journey, it is vitally important to make choices that women, and their men as well, to begin tipping their life energy in favor of fertility. A place to begin this tipping process is with a particular type of energy on the energy spectrum, called intention energy. Intention means being deliberate and purposeful. Obviously, successful conception and birth is an intention. The problem is that, on the spectrum of fertility and infertility, many women do not know that they have been tipping their scales in favor of infertility. They do not recognize how their worry, despair, sadness and fear about their unsuccessful efforts (in addition to other issues they have) are energies tilting their momentum away from getting pregnant. Their hope, trust and knowing that they can become a mother become hard-to-see specks of light.: http://www.thebabycorner.com/page/2381/ All kinds of tips: http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcsex/topics/0,,4rwv,00.html Getting ready http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcprep/topics/0,,4rwn,00.html Getting pregnant using an ovulation calendar: ?You can increase your chances of getting pregnant if you understand the ovulation process and how it fits into your monthly menstrual cycle. During each menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens to prepare the uterus for a possible pregnancy. Approximately midway through the cycle, ovulation occurs. Ovulation is the process by which an ovary produces and releases an egg. The egg develops in the ovary in a small, fluid-filled sac called a follicle. When the egg is mature this sac ruptures, releasing the egg from the ovary. The fingerlike projections on the nearby fallopian tube sweep the egg into the tube, where it begins to inch toward the uterus. If the egg is fertilized by a sperm, the fertilized egg moves to the uterus and becomes implanted in the rich uterine lining, where it grows for nine months. If the egg does not become fertilized during ovulation (that is, if you do not become pregnant), the thickened endometrial tissue breaks down and passes, along with the unfertilized egg, out of the cervix, through the vagina, and out of the body as the menstrual discharge.? http://health.howstuffworks.com/10001-how-to-get-pregnant.htm ======== Pregnancy ========= Pregnancy http://www.babycenter.com/comments/pregnancy/pregnancysleep/7627 Pregnancy Week by Week http://www.babyzone.com/features/content/default.asp?topicid=9171&scf=1002 Pregnancy Information http://www.pregnancy.org/ Pregnancy resources http://www.pregnancy.com/ Healthy Pregnancies http://www.womenshealth.gov/Pregnancy/ ================ Personal Stories ================ Mother?s stories (note, most of this is anecdotal advice, not medical or scientific information) Getting pregnant http://www.momcentral.com/chat/forum.asp?id=11540 Conception Success Stories http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/success57.htm http://pregnancyandbaby.com/read/articles/2243.htm http://www.toowrite.com/toowrite_story.asp?sid=2896 ?We literally had exhausted every suggestion I had heard of from the fertile community.
