Timing is the main reason healthy couples are labeled as “infertile” by a health professional, if your menstrual cycle is not exactly 28 days most ovulation calculators will not help you all that much.
To figure out exactly
when you should be trying to conceive you’ll want to start with an ovulation calculator to get a general idea of when you should start looking for sings of ovulation.
Now that you know about when you should ovulate (you did click the link right?) you’ll want to start tracking your Basal body temperature when you first wake up in the morning starting about 7 days prior to this date.
You normal body temperature should be between 97 and 97.7 degrees, on the day of ovulation you temperature will jump up by about .5 degrees on a basel thermometer
During your first cycle using this method…
Try to make love at least every other morning starting 7 days prior to the date provided by the calculator until 3 days after. This will give you the broadest chances of getting pregnant during your first cycle without the knowledge of exactly when you’re about to ovulate.
Once you have ovulated you’ll want to compare this to when the calculator told you, add or subtract the difference to the calculators results for the next two months and you’ve got your peak fertility points.
Continue to monitor your body temperature every morning charting the results, if after 18-20 days your temperature has not dropped back down put a smile on your face, cross your fingers, and take a home pregnancy test.
During your following cycles…
If you don’t succeed in the first month, don’t get discouraged!
Three days prior to your peak fertility point for coming cycles you’ll want to make love every morning until 2 days after your peak fertility point to maximize the chances that the magic of conception can occur.
Things to remember while you’re trying to conceive…
