Every woman is different as to when they ovulate in their cycle . Some are like textbooks , days 13 thru 15 ...other are day 10 , some even wait till day 20!!
try the " every other night" thing beginning on day 11 thru 17 to start . Or , if you are REALLY anxious to start your family , you can purchase and ovulation predictor kit in the pregnanct test aisle . Basically there are five sticks in there , you tinkle on the stick first thing in the AM , and it measures the hormones in your urine to let you know if you're ovulating. The kits run about 10 to 24 dollars , and are very commonly used on women taking fertility drugs like clomid or follistem in order to maximizes chances of fertilization . You can purchase a reusable digital unit for about 70 to 80 dollars . These are great if you know you may have trouble conceiving and that it may take more than a month or two . If you do go the " ovulation predictor" route , then have you and your partner hold off having sex beginning on day 11 , so that spermatozoa concentration is high ...again , to maximaize chances . When the kit turns , that's the day!! Have Relations every other day for the next 5 days.
Good luck!!!

There is a book available called "Choosing the Sex of Your Baby". Even if you are not particular about the sex of your baby you might want to read it because it will help you find the best time to get pregnant by charting your cycle and determining your ovulation times. That is the important thing-ovulation. This usually occurs in the middle of your cycle and your most fertile days are usually a few days before or after. Also remember that many factors affect conception such as sperm count, mobility, health of the eggs, stress, etc. Good luck!

It depends on when you ovulate. Ovulation takes place anywhere from ten to sixteen days before you menstruate. Count day one as the first day of your period, and with a 28 day cycle, you ovulate some time between day 12 and day 18. In order to be more precise than that, you'll need to figure out what day you personally ovulate. You can do that using ovulation predictor kits, which are available at most drugstores with the pregnancy tests, or by charting your fertility signs-basal body temperature, cervical position and texture and cervical mucous. You can learn more about your fertility signs at fertilityfriend.com or from the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

The basic answer is that you ovualte 14 days after the first day of your period and you start your next period 14 days after you ovualte. The most fertile time is 24-48 hours before ovualtion and up to 24 hours after. Not all women adhear to this schedule so you might want to use an ovualtion predictor kit to track your exact ovualtion time. Good Luck!!

Depends on when you ovulate which really has nothing to do with when your period is. In theory you ovulate 14 days before the start of your period, but that is just an average.
Just have sex every other day or more and it'll happen.

The goal to fertility charting is pregnancy. The idea of predicting ovulation is to time sexual intercourse during your most fertile time. Most fertility, and relationship experts, recommend that you have sexual intercourse on a regular basis. Reproduction specialists recommend an increase in sexual activity to daily during your most fertile time. But, if the man has sperm issues, every other day is still the best practice. In the beginning of ‘trying to conceive’ (ttc), sex two to three times per week, every week, sounds like fun. Unfortunately it can become structured and routine. Surprisingly, it is often the men who find the sexual demands of ‘baby making sex’ to be stressful - can you say ‘performance anxiety’. I suggest that you take this into consideration, right from the start. You need to be careful that ‘baby making sex’ does not take priority over making love. If you find this is becoming an issue, take a break from planed sex for a bit, work on you two, as a couple. You should still try to chart and prepare so that next month you can start fresh and new. Sometimes the entire process can become way too overwhelming and you need to take a charting holiday. If you need to take that break, do it! Drop it all for a bit and pick it up when you feel better about everything. You need to stop and think about how important it is that this baby has both of you when it is born. You will find a special section on your chart to document the days that you have intercourse.
You should find that your menstrual cycle is made up of three phases. The first stage is the beginning on your cycle and is known as menses. Charting begins on day one of menses. The second phase is the follicular phase and occurs after menses and before ovulation. The length of the follicular phase may vary from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. The follicular phase length determines your cycle length. Ovulation divides the follicular phase from the luteal phase. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts from 12 to 14 days, but may last from 10 to 15 days. The luteal phase length is usually fairly consistent rarely changing, more than a day or two, from cycle to cycle in an individual woman. You may have been told that most ‘regular’ cycles last from 29 to 30 days, as you are probably aware, we are all different and so are the lengths of our cycles. A typical menstrual cycle may be anywhere from 21 to 35 days, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Our cycles are all individual and different things can affect each cycle, but hopefully yours will show the hormone patterns that you seek. Life happens and things affect our bodies differently. You will probably find that no two cycles are exactly the same, but they should be similar. Charting will help you to realize when the three phases occur in your cycle so you can determine when you are most likely to conceive. You probably grew up believing that you ovulate, or are most fertile, on day 14 of your menstrual cycle, mid cycle or 14 days before your period is expected. This time frame is known as the cover line, but the assumption is based on broad averages and they may not be true for you, even if your cycles are regular. When cycles are irregular, it is usually a result of ovulation occurring earlier or later than expected. Knowing when you ovulate allows you to have a good idea if intercourse was well timed for conception and lets you determine your luteal phase length. Knowing your luteal phase length tells you when to expect your period or a positive pregnancy test result. Though not accurate either, the luteal phase is supposed to be 10 to 17 days long. By using this, you count back the length of your longest luteal phase from the length of your average cycle. It is suggested that you mark and ‘O’ on your chart to signify the earliest that you may ovulate. If you have a ‘regular’ length cycle, this means you should mark you ‘O’ at, or around, day 11 in your upcoming cycle. You can use this ‘O’ as a warning point for you to be a bit more observant in your monitoring.
Our bodies may all be affected by similar hormonal patterns and we might all be expected to follow the three phases of our menstrual patterns, but we are all different. They key to charting is to determine how your body follows those predicted patterns. Your own fertility pattern is unique to you, as a result, it can take several cycles to determine how your personal cycles work. If you are fairly ‘regular’, you should be able to predetermine the day you are most likely to ovulate and act on it so you can become pregnant soon. Your chart will help you to identify ovulation and use the information to make predictions and calculations regarding your cycle. Once you know when (and if) you have ovulated, you can decide to take a break from ‘baby making sex’ and focus on ‘love making’, when you want to. By using your chart, you can identify if intercourse was timed for conception and get a reliable date for doing a pregnancy test and hopefully a reliable due date calculation. You can also best determine when to either take a pregnancy test or expect your period. If you are not pregnant, you will have documentation to take to your doctor so you can seek help in making that dream come true. Fell free to personalize your chart. As long as you do not do anything before you take that morning temperature, you can feel free to make your chart as fancy, or plain, as you wish. Feel free to use symbols, color or whatever makes your chart easier for you to read and document. I have highlighted sections of your chart where you should expect certain events to occur.
