Answer 1

Best bet is to find your "ovulation days" in your cycle, and this can be done with a search on google for "traditional" methods like checking your temperature etc or by purchaseing an ovulation test kit that tells you when you're body is about to ovulate, and then have plenty sex.

To be honest, the best advice is simply ot have a good amount of regular sex. It's natures way, and FUN !

Answer 2

Fertility signals
Knowing your own body and being able to tell when you are fertile / ovulating is an important skill and one that every woman should have.

The fact is, there are only certain times in a woman's cycle when she is fertile or ovulating and can get pregnant. So it pays off to know when those times are.

Your body will give you clear clues and signals as to when fertility is approaching and occurring.

A brief note, this system of observing fertility changes has nothing to do with the rhythm method. The rhythm method does not use bodily signals and is often very unreliable due to factors like the ignorance of the natal lunar phase, sickness, stress etc. If you are simply counting days and guessing when you should be fertile, this could be slowing down your bid to conceive.

A woman is fertile when she is ovulating and ovulation usually occurs mid cycle. In fact, ovulation almost always occurs 14 days before the next bleed. Sometimes women do experience a longer or shorter post ovulatory phase (than 14 days) but this usually indicates that there is a hormonal imbalance.

Ovulation occurs 14 days before next bleed this is the rule. And the fertile window can start a few days before that.

Spontaneous ovulation can also occur during your natal lunar phase.

The table below provides a rough description of the very real physical and emotional symptoms that you can observe throughout your menstrual cycle. It is a brief guide that I have put together from my own observation.

These are some of the signals that you can observe and note down on your Personal Charting System. The time frame is very approximate, so don't worry if your cycle is not the same - everyone is individual.



Week 1

From first day of bleeding Bleeding and the various symptoms felt during this part of the cycle varies with the individual, ranging from, cramping, back ache, hollow feeling inside vagina or the sensation that your innards will fall out to no ill effects at all.

At the post bleeding phase there is generally an increase in physical energy and vitality.

The individual is more outgoing and sociable. Sleep patterns and appetite return to normal.

Vaginal mucus is dry or absent .
Week 2 As ovulation approaches cervical mucus become wetter, slippery, white (whatever is your individual pattern.)
Ovulation

Day 14 approximately
Mucus is very wet and slippery, easily allowing penetration of sperm. Other symptoms may include tender breasts, mood swings, increase in libido, cramps, break through bleeding, desire to be with your partner.

Week 3

After Ovulation moving into pre-menstrual phase
Mucus production slows, becomes drier and thicker . Moods balance out again.
Week 4

Pre-menstrual phase
Pre-menstrual symptoms kick in, which depending upon you, range from bloating, cramps, headaches, mood swings, food cravings, and insomnia. Energy levels decrease, libido may increase. Desire for solitude increases as does intuitive ability.



The table above is not the definitive guide, and each cycle may not be the same, it all depends on how you are and what's going on in your life.



When you observe your body you will start to see a very clear pattern of what happens in your body during your menstrual cycle.

The main fertility indicators to look for are:

Cervical mucus
Bodily symptoms - that is moods, aches, libido, appetite, sleep patterns
Basal Temperature

Answer 3

Get a digital OPK test and track your ovulation. Go to the doctor and get on prenatal vitamins.

Answer 4

To try when you are ovalating might be a good way to start.
