when a site tells you your most fertile days, does that mean the days that u are ovulating?

Answer 1

No,you are fertile for like three or four days before the day you ovulate, on the first day of ovulation is your most fertile day.Here is a web site for you it will tell you when your fertile and your first day of ovulation.Good Luck,lots of baby to you!

Answer 2

Not necessisarily, those sites are for women with textbook perfect 28 day cycles with ovulation on day 14, and very few women actually have cycles like that. When it says you are fertile, it means that from their best guess, intercourse during that time could possibly result in pregnancy.
Ovulation happens only once per cycle and when the egg is released it only lives for 6-24hours so you aren't ovulating for several days, just one day. But sperm can live up to 5 days under the best circumstances, so you could potentially have sex and then ovulate 5 days later and end up pregnant. So they expand your fertile period to include the days leading up to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day after ovulation.

Answer 3

Your most fertile days include your ovulation day, but they also include the days leading up to ovulation. The reason for this is because sperm can live for a few days inside your reproductive tract if there's fertile cervical mucous there. So if you have sex Monday and there's fertile cervical mucous present and you ovulate Wednesday, there could be sperm there to fertilize the egg. This is why if you are scheduled to ovulate Wednesday, Monday would be considered a fertile day.

Here's how it works on paper.... your total fertile window is 3 days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation.

For example, if you are due to ovulate on September 15:
September 12 (fertile)
September 13 (fertile)
September 14 (highest fertile day)
September 15 (ovulation day...fertile)
September 16 (possibly fertile)

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Answer 4

well the difference between "fertile" days and ovulation is......
Mucus is fertile as in supporting semen life even though there is NO egg. so, even if you have unpro sex in those days could be up to a week, ovulation is the culmination of fertile days and pops out the ovary to be fertilzed. look at fertility interms of conception days not just When egg pops out. so fertile days are mucus days approaching ovulation.

however this is based on a regular cycle. your dates could very but they both give great prenatal information.

try to learn how to track your own fertility. temp, cramp, hornyness!!! :)

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

YES.
