I am 31 y/o and I am having a hard time conceiving a baby. I thought I couldn't get pregnant until I had an ectopic pregnancy about 4 1/2 years ago.
If you can help me-please do. I have irregular periods and I never know when I am ovulating.

use an ovulation predictor test to determine when you are ovulating. Make sure that you do it ever day or so when you are ovulating. You might also want to ask your doctor for more advice. Good luck.

Please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. It has all the information you need. It will help you determine if and when you are ovulating, among many other things.
You don't need to wake up at 4 am to get pregnant. In fact, it will probably prevent pregnancy--you'll be too tired to have sex!! If you chart your basal body temperature, you do it at the time you *normally* wake up. You also don't need to avoid sex for 5 days before ovulation (which, by the way, *cannot* be predicted in advance by BBT for most women). And sperm don't live in the testicles, either. They are produced in the testicles, then live in the epididymis (inside the scrotum, next to the testicles) until ejaculation. The above answer that gave all this misinformation is obviously largely fiction.
Good luck!!

Lisa, 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.

There is no easy way, honestly. Especially when your periods are irregular. Your best bet is to work with your doctor in solving the irregular periods, so that conception can be come easier for you.
