Read the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. The book explains your cycle, charting and how to get pregnant. It is a great book and a must read! Check out the website: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/ Buy a basal thermometer at the drug store. Start charting your waking temperature so that you can get an accurate picture of what is happening in your cycles. This information can aid you in having sex at the correct time.





The only day you get can pregnant is when you ovulate. The day you ovulate, your body releases the egg. The egg lives a maxium of 24 hours. However, sperm can live up to five days in fertile cervical mucus but most live three days. Your fertile phase are the 3-4 days prior to ovulation and the day of ovulation. In order to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, you would have sex every 24 hours during this time. Unless you think your partner has low sperm count, then you would have sex every other day during your fertile phase.





In order to know when you ovulate and when you are in your fertile phase, chart your waking temperature and observe your cervical mucus.





In order to get pregnant you need fertile cervical fluid/mucus. The cervical mucus consistency varies through a woman's cycle. The consistency of your cervical mucus changes during the cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites. The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this phase where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. Here is some information of cervical mucus.





Stages of Cervical Fluid: Post Menses


Stage 1: Lasting 2 - 3 days CM is Sticky or Gummy


Stage 2: Lasting 2- 4 days: CM is Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - Beginning of your fertile period


Stage 3: Lasting 1-5 days: Egg white Cervical Fluid - At this time you are very fertile.


Stage 4: Dry, Moist or Sticky (Infertile)

Some other tips:


-When having baby sex, do not use lube (KY Jelly, astroglide, etc) it renders sperm immobile. If you want to use lube, use preseed. Preseed promotes a sperm friendly atmosphere. http://www.preseed.com/


-Do not douche or use scented tampons. They alter the acidity of the vagina.


-Do not have oral sex when you are having baby sex. Saliva can kill sperm.


-Have sex in the missionary position. This allows for the deepest penetration and will deposit the sperm closest to the cervix.


-After sex, stay laying down with your pelvis slightly elevated/tilted for 15 minutes.





Start taking prenatal vitamins and 1000mg of folic acid every day. This helps reduce the risk of birth defects and promotes a healthy baby and pregnancy. It is best to start at least 3 months prior to conceiving.I need some tips and advice :)?
i would say find out the days that u ovulate on and i was told to do it 3 days before and /or everyother day untill after ovullation is complete i did mines 3 days before the day before and the day of and i wikll find out tommorrow so i guess i will let u know if i have conceived... use one of those ovulation calenders on baby.com
My husband and I are also trying to conceive. It so far has been a hard process. What gets me through each month is that i have him by my side. One important thing to remember when going though all of this is that trying to conceive cannot be the only thing on your mind. go out and see movies , hang out with friends and live your life the way you would before you began trying to conceive
When my husband and I were ttc I read an article that said count 14 days from the last day of your period then go back two and have sex, go back two more and have sex, do the same thing forward as well.....you can also try the basil temprature method. take your temp. every morning as soon as you get up before you do anything, when you notice a slight spike in your temp. that usually indicates ovulation......
Check out fertilityfriend.com, you'll find a TON of information on there. Good luck!
