Trying to concieve....?

Question

My fiance and I want to have a baby. I know that a girl can get pregnant anytime and any way but is there any "Easiest" way?? When is the best time to try to concieve?

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

Just because you know something doesn't make it true! Men are fertile all the time (less shortly after ejaculation). Women are only fertile for a *maximum* of 1 week per cycle (24-40 days).

The only time you can conceive is when you ovulate or very shortly afterwards (the egg will only survive for 12 hours--or maybe 24 sometimes). But the sperm will survive in the female body for up to 5 days. So sex during that 6-7 day time frame can result in pregnancy, but at no other time.

The difficulty is in determining with any reliability exactly when you ovulate. It is simple to know when you have *already* ovulated; knowing in advance is a little more complicated. You can determine your body is preparing for ovulation by checking your cervical fluid at the vaginal opening. When it is wet, you are probably approaching ovulation and fertile. When it is very wet, clear, shiny, and stretchy, you are probably very fertile. However, keep checking; sometimes your body prepares to ovulate, "changes its mind", and then ovulates several days later. In this case, you'll have more wet cervical fluid later one. The *last* time you see this during one cycle is probably when you ovulated.

Answer 3

To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.

After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex.

After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.

Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 5 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

Answer 4

Go online to "ovulation calculator" and there you will get an approximate time frame when you are most fertile... This worked for me, I tried it for the first month and BAM and I am five weeks pregnant now.... So try that, you will see many of them will come up so try them all...

Answer 5

GO TO http://www.mymonthlycycles.com AND PUT IN HER PERIOD INFO AND IT WILL TELL WHEN SHE WILL BE FERTILE AND OVULATING.

BUY OVULATION TESTS

TELL HER TO TAKE FOLIC ACID

TELL HER TO RELAX

YOU NEED TO WEAR BOXERS NOT BRIEFS

AFTER YOU 2 HAVE SEX TELL HER TO HOLD HER LEGS UP FOR 10 MINUTES SO THE SPERM DOSEN'T RUN OUT AS QUICKLY AS IF SHE JUST GOT RIGHT UP AFTERWARDS.

Some women may have ovulatory pain or spotting. Other signs may include a SHOW CP, temperature dip, and EWCM. Also, breast tenderness, increased sexual feelings, abdominal bloating, and irritability may be signs of ovulation

GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Go online and type in pregnancy websites, most of them have a preconception section. I personally like babycenter.com, they have an ovulation predicter, tips for getting pregnant, things you should do before you get pregnant for a healthy pregnancy, just lots of really good info.

Answer 7

you might want to look into an ovulation kit, on line ovulation calendars are not necessarily accurate. they say what the average woman would be, and well chances are 50/50 you won't be average. Best Of Luck!
