when is the best time to conceive?

Question

i am trying to conceive for about 5 months now.
i target my ovulation period evry month and no
results yet. what is happening?

Answer 1

A woman is only fertile for 24 hours each month, this is when she is ovulating. Sperm however can live inside the woman for up to 5 days after sex, making the actual 'fertile window' each month 6 days, including the day of ovulation. If a woman has a 28 day cycle, chances are she will ovulate around day 14 of her cycle. This does differ for some women however, and I ovulated on day 8 of my cycle (3 days after my period).

There are a number of ways that you can determine if you are ovulating or not.

The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.

You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.

You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.

You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.

When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries

When you are ovulating, you may notice a difference in your cervical mucus. It should be clear and sticky, and you may be able to spread as much as 5cm string between your thumb and your forefinger. Gross, I know! It needs to be sticky to draw the sperm.

Some tips for trying to conceive:
Before one actually tries to conceive, it seems like it will happen immediately! Truth be told, many women take up to a whole year to conceive. After that year, doctors may intervene with medical help.

Some women slightly elevate their hips for 20 minutes after intercourse, to ensure that more of the sperm comes in contact with the cervix. 20 minutes is an adequate amount of time, because after that time, any sperm that did not enter, will be killed by the differing pH of the vagina. Some women however, choose to use 'instead' cups, which are more commonly used for one's period.

There is also something called 'Fertility Tea', or a similar name. Apparently, it will help you to conceive.

Some women have also tried half a tablespoon of cough syrup for a few days before ovulation, claiming that it helps to thin out the lining of the uterus, hence making it easier for the baby to implant itself into the uterine wall. I'm not sure if it's safe to try, or even if it works - but it's just another tidbit of information for you!

For the average couple, having sex once per day provides the best chance of getting pregnant.

The woman-on-top position isn't great for pregnancy, since ejaculate may flow out.

FACTS:
Most women have a 15 to 25 percent chance of getting pregnant during their cycle.
Nearly 50 percent of couples conceive during the first 3 months.
About 75 percent of couples conceive during the first 6 months.
Up to 90 percent of couples conceive during the first year.
On the average, there are 280 days from the first day of your last period to your due date

I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I used when I was trying. It's full of supportive women who have boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 2

The *only* time to conceive is when you ovulate. You probably need more information on how the female body works.

First of all, there is *not* an "ovulation period". You ovulate. Then you *stop* ovulating. It takes a matter of minutes, not days. If you are using inaccurate information, you will have bad results!

A woman ovulates about 2 weeks (usually 12-16 days) before her next period, regardless of the length of her cycle. Sperm can live for up to 5 days in the female body; the egg only survives for 12 hours (sometimes up to 24). So you need to know about when you ovulate, then have sex in the days *before*.

It is pretty easy to determine when your body is preparing for ovulation (skip the ovulation predictor kits!!), but it is complicated to explain it. Please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ for a detailed explanation of the menstrual cycle and how to best time sex to get pregnant.

Answer 3

Have sex every day from when your period ends until right before it starts or until you confirm you have ovulated. Every one is different if you have a 28 day cycle, more than likely you ovulate on day 14 site below has a chart.

Answer 4

that is as complicated a controversy as human beings are diverse. some people who're gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered and intersexed sense a real would desire to be married even nevertheless they can not relatively replace who they're. Nomatter what they do, they can not come across a vogue they are able to stay with what's socially suitable. yet they're nevertheless human beings and have desires, targets and a real would desire to discover their life's purpose and station in life (married, single, holy orders)... etc., purely like all human beings else. If some human beings are born with the two genders present day, contained in the physique and/or out, then why do human beings think of that that is impossible that some thing like this would take place interior the recommendations without actual manifestation? maximum marriages, nomatter what happens in congress, is relatively no longer between gay couples purely as maximum folk are no longer born intersexed. So i do no longer understand what all human beings is so disillusioned approximately. there'll be gay human beings available nomatter what, and no rely regardless of if or no longer cirtain human beings like it. i could in my view think of that know-how the above, could make human beings extra liable to assert, confident, enable the guy verify and and in the event that they choose to opt to eachother, high quality. actually, that is a extra constructive element than no longer having that dedication to eachother because of the fact that could be a promise in front of others that your unlikely to be romantically in touch with anyone else. this could a minimum of help verify that the gay couple could be truthful to eachother and not get themselves in ability hassle with distinctive companions.
