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.

Most docs expect you to try for about 1 year before they seriously help you , remember in one year you only have 12 times to get the right day the right way no stress etc the doc will ask for a sperm sample from the guy to eliminate him usually first and then maybe an ultra sound for you and talk to you about reg periods and ask you when your trying etc , i was informed to try every second day after your period with him on top bum under pillow for at least 20 min after cut out caffeine loose weight if over weight and get some vitamin's I've been trying for a while now too just remember stress effects your hormones and if there all over the place that wont help and trust in God when the times right the time is right at least you wont take your beautifully gift for granted when it comes because it wasn't easy , remember what isn't easy builds character .

Take your husband to the doctors with you. If you don't have a husband, then take your boyfriend to the Court House and get a marriage license and then to the Justice of the Peace for a marriage certificate. Then take him to the doctor after you've tried a few more times because the stress of being a single mom will be alleviated and you'll be more relaxed to conceive. You may just need a baby doctor then.
That's all Folks!

Whether you are married or single is not the question. The question is, Are you sure you're ready to have children?
First, make an appointment with your OB/GYN. From there, depending on your insurance and if necessary, he/she will be able to refer you to a specialist. Also, depending on your insurance, you may not need a referral. When you see your OB or specialist, they will ask about your family history. You will probably have to take x-ray, ultra sounds, and have lots of blood work done.
This process can be very exhausting, stressful, and expensive. This is why I ask, "Are you ready"?
