Answer 1

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!! Here we go again ! 14-16 day thing ! OK, IF (thank God I didn't listen to that !!!!!!!) I listened to that , Id miss mine EVERY MONTH ! I ovulate 8 to 12 days after NOT 14-16 days ! What worked for me was, CB&Easy digital ovulation kit......Once your LH surge is detected you have 24-36 hrs BEFORE you ovulate...... Had my period 11-29.... I ovulated 12-10..........Sound like 14 days to you ? Sounds like 11 days to me........Thats a MYTH ! Believe me ! Maybe some women do but not ALL of us do ! Invest in an ovulation kit ! You wont regret it ! The day your period STOPS, the nxt morning, pee on the stick......Do that everyday, 'til it detects your surge.......Once it does , the sperm lives 3-5 days inside you........Have intercoarse everyother day.......To often will lessen the sperm count........

Answer 2

bbt is not the best indicator of when you are "GOING" to ovulate, it pin points when you "DID" ovulate. you will see a sharp increase, sometimes as much as a full degree differece. once you've ovulated your temp does NOT drop back down to pre-ovulator temps.

if you have a fairly regular cycle i'd suggest that you use ovulation prediction kits. use two per day one around noon and another just before you go to sleep (about 8-10 hours after the first test). it will only cost you about $25 for a one month supply (much less than your upcoming diaper bill:)

best of luck to you!

Ovulation is while an ovary releases an egg. The egg enters the fallopian tube, the place it remains for sort of 24 hours. we are saying that a woman is ovulating in this time; this is the era while this is available for her to grow to be pregnant. If there is sperm interior the fallopian tube, it ought to fertilize the egg. this is named theory. The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube and embeds itself into the lining of the uterus. as quickly because it attaches here, a woman is seen pregnant, however maximum tests will nonetheless take yet another couple of weeks to locate the being pregnant. If the egg isn't fertilized, it passes out of the physique in the time of the vagina. approximately 2 weeks later, the uterus sheds the lining that it had arranged for the egg; that's what a era is.

How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

1. Have sex three times a week.

Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

8. Have enjoyable sex.

Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.
