If you are all stressed out about getting pregnant, then there is a better chance that you will encounter some difficulty. Here are something to keep in mind:
1) After a man ejaculates, it takes about 48 hours for the sperm count to get to its highest point again.
2) You should be keeping track (on a calendar) your mense cycle. You should know about how long you have between your menses, and for most women around the 14th day after the start of her last mense is when she is the most fertile. You need to figure out what your "magic number" is. This will help you predict your ovulation date and peek fertility times of the month.
3) Sex should still be fun and not scheduled. Your bodies will pick up on the stress and it can effect your mense and your ovulation. It can also effect the quality of a mans sperm.
4) If you have been on birth control for an extended period of time that can effect your ability to become pregnant. You might be having a period, but that is not a guarantee that everything is prime and ready to support a growing fetus.
If you are still having problems after about 6 to 8 more months, you might want to talk to your gynecologist and see what he/she might recommend. You'd be surprised what can happen if you just relax and let nature be.

lots and lots and lots of sex!!!
i actually saw a documentary once that showed that if the man orgasms first then the sperm pools near the opening of the uterus which means that you want him to 'go' first because when a woman orgasms, part of the muscle spasms you feel is the opening of your uterus dipping down into the place where the sperm pools. if he orgasms first, there will be something in the pool area for your uterus to pop down to and pick up when you orgasm.
simply put.....sorry about this ladies, i am a woman too and frankly, this is the sucky part........if he orgasms THEN you orgasm, there is a greater chance of the sperm getting to the target.
unfortunately the PH balance of a woman is opposite from that of a man so when those little guys invade so to speak, your body is working like crazy to kill them all because your body sees the sperm as a possible infection.
my opinion: there is an egg somewhere inside you that is just waiting to be your baby and now you have to wait until that one egg/baby is ready to travel during ovulation to start the whole magical process.

i have 2 babies..the first one came oops.... lol..the second one took 5 months of trying...
all that aside.. as far as i know, you can only get pregnant when you are ovulating, which is somewhere between day 10 and 14, (day 1 is the day you start your period) your body will more than likely give you signs of ovulation, like discharge, tenderness in the breasts, elevated temp, just to name a few...so act like bunny rabbits durring this time and have fun and relax...and dont stress
good luck

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.
