Go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and ovulating. This site is free and very helpful & it will show you when you are most likely to become pregnant.

It took me a year to get pregnant with my only child. I had been on depo though 3 years prior to getting pregnant.
every woman is different, it could take one a month or 2 to get pregnant while another woman could take a year or longer to become pregnant.

Trying to Conceive - Helpful tips for getting pregnant
Find out when you are ovulating
There are several ways you can do this. One of the easiest ways is to purchase a Basal thermometer and start charting your temperatures. You can use Justmommies free fertility chart to record and keep track of your temperatures. Make sure you take you use a basal thermometer.

It is the most accurate for charting ovulation. Take your temperature as soon as you wake up, before you get out of bed, go to the bathroom or do anything. Try to take your temperature at the same time every morning if you can. This way your chart will be more precise. The best time to have sex is between the time your temperature drops and before it rises again.

One other way you can find out when you are ovulating is by using an ovulation predictor test. You can purchase ovulation tests in bulk online to make it more affordable. Ovulation kits measure the amount of Lutenizing Hormone in your body. Right before you ovulate your body releases a large amount of LH. The test kits are easy to use. They are very similar to a pregnancy test. You will have a reference line and then a sample line to compare that to. Once you show a positive test for ovulation you should have intercourse within twenty-four hours.

Some of the best ways to predict when you are ovulating are by watching your body for signs of ovulation. Some women feel cramping on one side when they ovulate. Ovulation pain should not be the only thing you watch for but it is one indicator of ovulation. You should also keep an eye on your cervical mucous. You will notice that your cervical mucous will pick up several days before ovulation. When your cervical mucous starts to look like egg white and becomes really slippery, this is the best time to get pregnant. The slippery consistency helps to carry the sperm up the vaginal canal. Some doctors recommend taking Robitussin to help thin out your mucous which will help to transport the semen.

Some dos and don’ts for getting pregnant

Do limit movement after intercourse. Standing up after intercourse can cause the semen to leak out. Try to wait twenty minutes after sex before getting up and moving around.

Do try to keep the sperm inside your vagina longer. You can hold the labia together to try to keep the sperm inside of you. You can also try putting a pillow under your pelvis to help tilt your body so the sperm can travel upwards easier.

Do try to make sex enjoyable. Sometimes when a couple is trying to conceive it will affect the quality of their sex life. More enjoyable sex means higher sperm count and better “swimmers”.

Do limit intercourse and male masturbation prior to the days you are trying to conceive. It will help to increase the man’s sperm count and improve your chances of getting pregnant.

Do take prenatal vitamins if you are trying to conceive. Folic acid and other vitamins are very important during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs at the time of conception. This applies to both the male and female. There is strong evidence that alcohol can effect your chances of getting pregnant.

Don’t douche after having intercourse. It can wash out the sperm that has just entered your body.

Don’t have oral sex prior to intercourse. There is some evidence that the bacteria in the mouth can cause damage to male sperm.

Don’t have anal sex prior to intercourse. Bacteria in the anas can be carried into the vagina from the man’s penis. If you do have anal sex before intercourse, make sure your partner washes his penis first.

If you have been trying to conceive for over a year please consult a doctor. You may need to have tests run or use fertility treatments.

Ok, you can't get pregnant without an egg present for the sperm to fertilize it. An egg isn't present until you ovulate. Ovulation occurs 14 days before your next period. Sperm can live for 72 hours (3 days) in body.
So, say your period was due on the 15th of the month, having intercourse from the 12th - 18th (7 days) would be the correct days. However, ovulating maybe a day or two early or late, would extend the time frame to 10 days approx.
When a pregnancy does not occur during this time frame, it is due to many common reasons.
Two of the main ones,
1) No egg may have been released on ovulation
2) Sperm may not be at its best.
Doctors will not test for infertility until 12 months of trying has proved futile.
So, it could take you 12 months, or 1 month.
Good luck!

The best way to get pregnant is if you orgasm at almost the same time as he does. Also it has to be the middle of your cycle when you are most fertile. You would know this if youre more moist down there than usual. Because this is the time that the sperm can live longer and actually make it to implant. It took a long time for me and my bf to get pregnant. Everything seems to have to be perfect.

The best date to get pregnant is in the middle of your cycle.

So if you have a 28 day cycle, calcualte 14 days after your 1st day of period and have sex around and on that day

It can take a month or years to take pregnant, it depends how much you and your partner are fertile

The most likely time is Christmas, say researchers who find that births here peak 9 months after the holidays. It’s not that turkey and cranberries have a magical effect on fertility. Instead, husbands and wives who are separated by travel throughout the year tend to be together during the holidays. In countries that celebrate the New Year instead of Christmas, the peak in birth rates comes a bit later


When is the best time to get pregnant?
Women who are hoping to get pregnant sometimes wonder exactly when the best time is to conceive.

The most likely time is Christmas, say researchers who find that births here peak 9 months after the holidays. It’s not that turkey and cranberries have a magical effect on fertility. Instead, husbands and wives who are separated by travel throughout the year tend to be together during the holidays. In countries that celebrate the New Year instead of Christmas, the peak in birth rates comes a bit later.

“According to studies, although conceptions peak in December, men may be more fertile around February and March, when sperm counts tend to peak,” says Lynn Telford, MD, a family practice physician at Aurora Health Center Mayfair who also practices obstetrics. “Women, by contrast, show no seasonal changes in fertility.”

Right after your period, have sex at least once a day, every other day, for 2 weeks.

If you're both young, usually it should be bingo on the first try, but the older you get, the more attempts it takes.

And obviously no condoms ;)

Alot of people ovulate (when you can get pregnant) 12-14 days before you expect your period.

Have sex during that time frame.

Have sex between periods, throw caution to the wind and go at it like there's no tomorrow....oh....and toss out the pills and condoms, too. And be sure you want to share a child with the man you want a baby by; be sure he's fit to be a good father....and be equally sure you're ready for motherhood.

it can take anything from 1 month to never to fall pregnant.....on average i would say most people fall within the first 12 months.....it is recommended that you have sex every 2nd day from day 8 of your cycle..(day 1 being first day of your period)....by doing this you can increase your chances....sperm needs time to mature so having sex every night is not a good idea.......this method worked for me twice!!!
