Having isn't as pleasing of a thing as wanting. You think about that.

Everyone's cycle is different. There is a myth that woman ovulate 14 days after their period begins...but that is only an AVERAGE and each month can be different. The other thing is that sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days.... so if you are having a shortened cycle one month and you have sex right after your period and you ovulate earlier than day 14 than yes, there is a chance of getting pregnant. The only way to know is to know exactly when you ovulate. There are several ways to know and some are more effective than others. Some can only predict before ovulation happens and some can only predict that is has already happened. The absolute best info I can give you is to go read a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! . It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not.
My husband and I tried for 1 year and had no luck..… We tried ovulation predictors , laying with pillows under me for 20 min. everything……the first month that I began using the book I realized that my timing was WRONG!. We got pregnant that very first month and I am now due Feb 2, 2007. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths! Even if you don't get into charting and everything....it will help you in so many ways!

Try looking for an Ovulation Scope, you can get them at WalMart for like $18 by where the Pregnancy Tests are. But all you do is put a little spit on the lens, let it dry for like 10 min., screw the eyepiece back on, and if your spit dries like a fern-like pattern that means your are ovulating. It really helps you track when you ovulate every month. You can also by the kits that you can pee on like a Pregnancy Test but I recommend the scope because you can reuse it over and over. Good Luck!!!

Some helpful tips I learned was. Lye down for at least 30 minutes after having intercourse. Take your prenatal pills, have sexual intercourse with man on top and a pillow under the woman's hips. (helps sperm to travel)
The web site I like is www.babyzone.com
This website has several helpful tips. Also helps you with symptoms and when is best to have intercourse. I wish you all the best!!!!!!!

You can track your period and when you might be ovulating there. The sooner you start tracking the better because you will be able to go back and compare each month.
