Brasner says. Often, when couples are trying to conceive, they focus so intensely on their reproductive health, they neglect their overall health. Life becomes all about cervical mucus, sperm count, and doing the deed. But it's important to pay attention to your health in general because issues like weight, smoking, stress, and medications can affect fertility too, Dr. Before trying to conceive, it's a good idea for both you and your guy to have a medical checkup to discuss any issues that may affect fertility or pregnancy.

These are the days you are most likely to get pregnant. A few days before ovulation, you may notice your vaginal mucus becomes clear, slick and slippery, and feels a bit like egg white.
This is a sign that ovulation is about to happen. You can use a predictor kit from a supermarket or pharmacy, to test your urine for signs of ovulation. If you start testing your urine a few days before the day you next expect to ovulate, a positive result means you are going to ovulate within the next 24 to 36 hours one to two days.
Ovulation is when a mature egg is released from the ovary. The egg then moves down the fallopian tube where it can be fertilised. If sperm are in the fallopian tube when the egg is released, there is a good chance that the egg will be fertilised, creating an embryo, which can grow into a baby. Pregnancy is technically only possible if you have sex during the five days before ovulation or on the day of ovulation.
But the most fertile days are the three days leading up to and including ovulation. Having sex during this time gives you the best chance of getting pregnant. By hours after ovulation, a woman is no longer able to get pregnant during that menstrual cycle because the egg is no longer in the fallopian tube. Knowing when you ovulate can help you plan for sex at the right time and improve your chance of getting pregnant.
You can keep track of your menstrual cycles on a chart, in a diary, or on a free period-tracker app on your smartphone. To work out the length of your menstrual cycle, record the first day you start bleeding first day of your period. This is day 1. The last day of your cycle is the day before your next period begins. A menstrual cycle starts on the day when a period starts day 1 and ends the day before the next period. They can vary between women and from one cycle to the next.
Periods are not always regular. If you add the number of days in three cycles and divide the total number by three, it gives you your average cycle length. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for quite some time, naturally you would like to do as much as possible to have a baby, but being duped with false remedies or e-books such as Pregnancy Approach is just so sick.

The best days from this study are two days before ovulation 30 percent chance of conception and the day before ovulation A larger multicenter European study that found the best days are three days before ovulation 27 percent chance of conception and two days before ovulation 24 percent chance of conception.
The studies mentioned above do not all use the same methods for determining when ovulation occurred, which makes it difficult to compare the fertile window between studies. For example, the day considered to be O-1 in the three studies might not actually be the same day, because each of the studies used a different method to identify ovulation basal body temperature shift, ultrasound, LH test, etc.
Your best bet is still to simply have sex at least every other day of your fertile window.
