The best or most fertile time to get pregnant is the period of ovulation in your menstrual cycle. This is the time when following an LH surge, a mature ovum is released into the uterus from the follicles. This egg or ovum is ready to be fertilized and stays so for about 12 hours after which it starts degenerating.
One common method of finding out the best time to get pregnant is counting days. To do this, figure out when your next period is due. From this date, count back 12 to 16 days. This will give you a range of days when you will probably be ovulating. In normal case, for women with a 28-day cycle, the 14th day is often the best day to get pregnant. To use this method, you must know how long your cycle usually lasts and have relatively regular cycles.
The best time to get pregnant is when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. At this stage the mucus can be compared to raw egg whites. The role of mucus is to nourish, protect, and speed the sperm on its way up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes for the rendezvous with your egg.
Lower abdominal discomfort is also an indication of ovulation and hence the best time to get pregnant. About one-fifth of women actually feel ovulatory activity, which can range from mild aches to twinges of pain in the lower abdomen. The condition, called mittelschmerz, may last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.

No that is not true. I can happen but not the best time. The best time is 11 to 14 days from the day you start your period.

No, the best time to get pregnant is when you are ovulating. (Although you CAN get pregnant while on your period!)There are kits to tell when you are ovulating! And you don't necessarily ovulate 12-14 days from the time of your period!

It is actually the best time NOT to get pregnant, as you are shedding the lining of your uterus and not ovulating. If you are trying to get pregnant, you can purchase ovulation prediction tests at a local drugstore (usually next to the pregnancy tests) or you can go to www.webmd.com, as they have a great sub-site for baby planning. usually about 2 weeks before/after your menstrual cycle is when most women ovulate, and you have about a 3 day window during that time when it is optimal to try to conceive.

NO! That is way past the stag of ovulation. The best time is approx. 19 days after the first day of your period.

it all depends on when your luteal phase of your cycle is. that is when you are the most fertile and can get pregnant.
Luteal Phase
The third phase of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation has occurred, and the corpus luteum produces progesterone primarily to maintain the thickness of the endometrium lining in the uterus in the event that fertilization has occurred. If fertilization has not occurred, progesterone production stops and the endometrium lining is shed during menstruation.
