The Best Time To Conceive
Our cycles are all different and knowing your body can be the key to giving yourself the best odds of achieving pregnancy.
There's a few things you need to know in order to find out when you are at your most fertile time.
Check out this video about when the best time to get pregnant is
How do you know when you are most fertile?
You normally ovulate about 14 days into your cycle. The first day of your cycle is day one of your periods. But just remember that everyone is different - you could ovulate 18 days into your cycle.
So the next question is, how do you know when you ovulate?
When Do I Ovulate?
Monitor Your Cervical Mucus
Our bodies produce cervical mucus which changes in structure during your cycle. When you are most fertile your mucus becomes like egg whites.Find out in depth how to detect when you have the most fertile mucus, which is a strong indicator that your body is ready for conception.
Check Your Cervix
Checking your cervix is another free and easy method you can do to detect when you are possibly most fertile.Your cervix remains high and closed and hard when you aren't fertile, but when your body is ready to accept sperm allowing them entry to your fallopian tubes, it will be low, soft and open. Find out in further detail how to check your cervix, so that you will know when your body is highly fertile.
Use a Basal Body Thermometer
Using a basal body thermometer (bbt), is another cost effective way you can monitor your bodies signs for high fertility.By taking your temperature you can detect ovulation when you see a solid temperature shift as you enter the luteal phase, your second half of your cycle that occurs after ovulation.
Find out how using a bbt will help you find your most fertile time.
Use an Ovulation Calculator
An ovulation calculator, although not the most accurate way to detect your most fertile time, it can provide you with a way to see at a glance when you are most likely to ovulate.Check out our ovulation calculator to see when you are likely to be most fertile.
Use an Ovulation Predictor Kit
An ovulation predictor kit can help you to see when you are going to ovulate. It can be a little more expensive than the previous options, but through using a test in your urine stream, or through testing your saliva you can detect when ovulation is pending, so you can actually get an idea even before you are going to ovulate.This gives you an advantage because you can get a couple of extra days of baby-making in (once you've ovulated you've missed your most fertile time of the month.
You could just do one of these techniques, or combine a few to get a more accurate measure. As an example I often use a basal body thermometer and use ovulaton tests in urine stream to get a combined and accurate idea of when my fertile time is approaching.
If you know when you ovulate, you can learn to time your baby-making activities so that you are doing so when it is the best time to conceive.
Goodluck and baby dust to you!
