how can i increase the chances of me and my boyfriend getting pregnant? we are using the ovulation calender but thats really it. we are able to raise and aford a child and i am over the age of 18 so no rude comments or say im not able to raise a child!


Answer
The first simple change you can make to your lifestyle to increase your chances of getting pregnant is to eat better and get fit. Being a little overweight or underweight can increase irregularities in your menstrual cycle and ovulation. The amount of fat you have on your body controls hormones like estrogen and leptin. It helps to start taking prenatal vitamins now!

Step 2
Learn your body' s ovulation signs. Most women do not have a clue when they ovulate or when they need to have intercourse to get pregnant. The majority of women will ovulate 14 days after their period. That is based on a 28 day cycle. Pregnancy is usually achieved when the sperm are ready to meet the egg after it is released. This is accomplished by having intercourse up to 3 days before ovulation. Most experts say sperm can live up to five days in the woman's uterus after ejaculation.

Start taking your temperature every morning at the same time before you get out of bed. This is called your basal body temperature. You will need to do this for a month before you recognize a pattern. Your body temperature will begin to drop slightly right before ovulation. A temperature spike following a drop indicates ovulation.

Another sign of ovulation is cervical mucous. Cervical mucous is mucous that your cervix secretes before ovulation to assist the sperm on their journey. As you approach ovulation your cervical mucous will increase in quantity and stretchiness. Some refer to this as egg white cervical mucous. Next cycle keep an eye out about 1.5 weeks after your menstrual period for discharge that looks like egg whites. This is a great fertility sign!

You can also purchase fertility monitors. Clear Blue Easy is a great fertility monitor. In my experience the monitor takes about two months to detect ovulation and some women report that the monitor took only one month to detect their ovulation pattern. The monitor comes with sticks that you urinate on like a pregnancy test. The monitor will tell you when it wants you to insert a stick. The monitor detects two key hormones that induce ovulation. It's defiantly worth the money if you have no idea when you ovulate!

Step 3Have sex regularly! Most couples miss the window of fertility and think they can't conceive. By following the steps above you will begin to figure our your body' s way of telling you it's ready to ovulate. Take advantage of this time and baby dance!

My husband and I are trying to concieve. We are both healthy and have never had any serious health problems. Any tips?
Actually the thought of a baby has got us more excited about sex and more into it! :)



Answer
Read the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. The book explains your cycle, charting and how to get pregnant. This book is a must read.

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 husband has low sperm count, then you would have sex every other day during your fertile phase.

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.
