  1. I went to www.webmd.com and used a calender that you put in when your last period was and it gave you the week that you would be most likely to conceive in. It worked wonderfully!


  2. You should start looking at your CM so you can know when you are ovulating and BD, also the temperature will help (basal temperature). With this 2 things helping there will be a lot of chances... Good LUck

  3. Timing of intercourse is probably the most crucial factor rather than just babydancing in itself. Keep track of the length and dates of your cycles, this will give you a better idea of when you are ovulating. Some women choose to opt for the more 'let nature take its cause' route however, and just babydance every 2 days to aim to cover your fertile dates [14 days before your period is due is generally when an egg is released.]

    Also, keep track of your cervial mucus. Some women find this the best way to tell when their body is getting ready to release an egg for fertilisation. Others don't seem to notice much at all and prefer to use OPK's [ovulation predictor kits]. Basically, these can work in the same way as a home pregnancy test with test strips allowing you to test 2 days or so before you reckon you'll ovulate [14 days from the end usually] and let you know whether or not the LH [Lutenising hormone] is detectable in your urine. This will show up as a double line on your test and lets you know to babydance as much as you can for the next 4 days!

    Some info on charting CM [Cervical Mucus]:

    CERVICAL FLUID/MUCUS AND DETECTING OVULATION

    Cervical Fluid is the mucus that is secreted from the cervix. It is produced by the hormone est rogen in the first phase (follicular phase) of a monthly cycle. Fertile Cervical Fluid is necessary for conception. It helps keep sperm alive for up to five days. It also protects the sperm from the acidity in the v****a. It assists the sperm in swimming up to the fallopian tube so fertilization can take place.

    The last day on which fertile Egg White Consistency Cervical Mucus (EWCM) is observed is considered your day of "peak fertility".

    You can check your cervical mucus by wiping your vaginal area with a tissue. Observe the tissue. Close the tissue around the cm and open it. Is it stretchy? EWCM should stretch 1-10 inches. You can also insert two fingers into the vaginal cavity and pull the mucus from the cervix. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with a anti-bacterial soap prior to doing this. Do not do this if you suspect infection.

    Stages of Cervical Fluid: Post Menses

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

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

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

    Stage 4: Dry, Moist or Sticky (Infertile)

    Peak fertile cervical mucus is thin and stretchy. After ovulation, progesterone abruptly suppresses the peak mucus and the mucus pattern continues with sticky mucus for a day or two, and then returns to dryness.

    Egg White Cervical Fluid

    How Long do you have it: Typically women in their mid twenties have it for approximately 5 days, by mid-thirties, only 1-2 days, but this is not the rule. Many women have several days of EWCM late into their thirties.

    Look and Feel: The Cervical Mucus will look and have the consistency of egg whites. It is slippery to the touch and if pulled between the fingertips will stretch 1 - 10 inches.

    Color: The color can be clear or iridescent and extremely wet. If your CM has an unusual odor, consult your physician, this may be a sign of infection. If your CM has the consistency of cottage cheese, this may be a sign of a yeast infection, also consult your physician.

    There are natural ways to improve cervical mucus. Some women have have what is called Hostile Cervical Mucus.

    After ovulation and under the effect of progesterone, the mucus becomes thick and sticky. Sperm cannot penetrate it. Once the sperm are in the mucus, they can stay there for a few days acting as a sperm reservoir. It can also be highly acidic and can kill the sperm.

    If you are unable to naturally improve hostile cervical mucus, you can opt for Intra-Uterine-Insemination (IUI). The s***n is injected into the uterus bypassing hostile cervical mucus.

    INCREASING CERVICAL MUCUS

    Cut back on caffeine and don't smoke!

    Drinking at least ten 6oz glasses of water a day.

    Evening Primrose Oil: 1,000 IU per day should be taken

    from Cycle Day 1 to Ovulation.

    Flax Seed Oil: 2,000 mg per day from Ovulation to AF.

    Red Raspberry: 1,000 mg daily: Start anytime in cycle.

    Can be taken during pregnancy until a month prior to labor/delivery.

    Strengthens the uterine lining which in turn lengthens luteal phase

    Grapefruit Juice also works wonders for me in increasing CM :]

    Hope I helped!


  4. try to do it after yo got your period. Some experts says two weeks after a girl's period, her hormones are still active.

    or else, consult your doctor. they knows best.

  5. vitamin e and c for ur husband

    for u try to get clomid 10 mg twice a day and hcg lipori 36 hours before the ovulation ask ur doctor  ...or don't take any thing just get vitamin e and c for ur hubby....hope it ll work...

  6. GET d**k ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT

    and if he doesn't like that tell HIM to get some d**k

    oh AND NO CONDOMS


  7. Charting your BBT(basal body temp) is a great way to make sure your BDing at the right times.  Check out the I-Village Fertility Planner or Fertility Friend to help you get started (http://www.ivillage.com/fertilityplanner... or http://www.fertilityfriend.com/)

    Also, I've heard that Preseed works really well, though I've not actually used it.

    Good luck!
