Best time to conceive??
Answers:
For Emma who says you can conceive at anytime, but it's more likely when you ovulate.did you go to school? You can only conceive when you ovulate, as that is when the egg is released and ready to be fertilised.
Your best bet would be to start monitoring your own cycle for a few months, so you know where you are. I'm doing the same now, but for the opposite reason.I don't want to conceive, and I don't want to go on the pill, but that's another story. Basically I have a 28 day cycle and I usually ovulate on day 12 (12 days after the first day of my period). I know I'm ovulating, because I get what's commonly known as Egg White Cervical Mucus (EWCM) which is literally like a stringy discharge. If you wanted to go even further, you could sit on the edge of the toilet seat and poke up inside yourself very far, and you will be able to feel your cervix, and whether it is open.if it is, you're ovulating (I did this with the conception of my second and last child, but it's not overly recommended, as you might have dirty fingers and infect yourself.but it's a sure way of knowing).
You ovulate for around 2-3 days, but sperm can last for upto 5, so potentially you have about 6-7 days where you could get pregnant.so I'd advise that from when your period stops, you go at it everyday until it starts again, and then you can guarantee you've covered your fertile time.
About 2 weeks before your period starts, you should ovulate around this time.
when your getting shagged silly.I would have thought?
When you want a cute little one.
the best time to consieve is at night after a nice romantic dinner and a movie!!
When all your visitors have gone home!
The previous poster is giving you "cookie cutter" advice - this is not true for everyone and you should use some method of determining when you ovulate. I actually have a very normal 28 day cycle, but I don't ovulate around day 14, as the previous poster said, but rather around day 10. Use a basal body thermometer (read taking charge of your fertility), ovulation predictor kits or observing your cervical mucous (www.fertilityfriend.com) for the best chances of determining when you are ovulating.
Your best time to conceive will be about 2 weeks before you start your period. If you have been tracking your cycles count back to about 2 weeks before each cycle begins and this should be the time that you ovulate. Most women ovulate anytime between days 12 and 17 of their cycles. With periods ranging from 26-32 days. Hope this helps you.
It is easiest to concieve when you ovualte, but it can be done any time of the month. For those of us who have irregular cycles though, it is not that easy. I went and bought the ovulation predictor kits. You pee on a stick and it tells you if you are ovulating. If you are, go home and have sex! Just make sure you are having fun though, if you are stressing about it, it will be difficult. Good luck!
LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY AND CONCEPTION BEFORE TRYING TO CONCEIVE!
Granted it seems most people are unaware of these things, however that is not a reason to go without learning these basics, particularly when you will have to teach these things to your children when they grow up. To be blunt if you don't know about the birds and the bees having children should be the last thing you should be concerned about.
There is no 'best time of the month to conceive' you are only fertile for around 30% of your total menstrual cycle, if you don't have sex during that time you do not get pregnant.
To conceive you need three things; sperm, egg and cervical mucus.
You ovulate once per cycle normally with an egg that lives for up to 48 hours, normally ovulation occurs between days 12 and 16 of your menstrual cycle, day 1 being the first day of true bleeding on your period. During ovulation the body temperature changes, the cervix also softens and opens, producing cervical mucus, these are the most common ways to detect ovulation, however some women have secondary ovulation signs such as ovulation pains. Cervical mucus is produced so that the sperm to reach the egg they need a medium in which to swim through as well as to keep them protected from the acidic environment of the vagina, this is the purpose of cervical mucus and normally occurs five days before ovulation up until ovulation, with cervical mucus sperm can live up to 5 days.
The best way to conceive is to use methods such as Fertility Awareness Method [FAM], this is where a woman charts her daily basal body temperature, cervical mucus and cervical position to determine exactly what her body is doing, not only when you are fertile but also when your period is due and when you are pregnant without the use of home pregnancy tests.
FAM is also used as a highly effective form of birth control and a means to determine reproductive health problems, in the case of conception this helps determine any fertility problems so they can be treated.
FAM also has the advantage of assisting in sex selection; the Shettles Method is where sex is timed to coincide with fertile period so to heighten possibility of conceiving a girl or a boy – the male sperm (carrying Y chromosome) is fast but delicate, where as the female sperm (carrying X chromosome) is slower but resilient, sex timed just before ovulation insures the faster male sperm reaches the egg first, thus producing a male child, where as sex timed during fertile period before ovulation means that male sperm will die where as female sperm survive within the cervical mucus to make it to the egg, resulting in a female child.
The best way to learn FAM is to get the book – Taking Charge of Your Fertility: The Definitive Guide to Natural Birth Control, Pregnancy Achievement and Reproductive Wealth by Toni Weschler – this is a very good guide to using FAM you can get at most book stores and sites from between £10 and £15, there is also a web site that accompanies the book – http://www.tcoyf.com
FAM can be learned alone using books and web sites, or you can contact your local health authorities or doctor to help you find a local trainer in FAM who will be able to teach you how to use the method successfully, there is a lot of information on finding a trainer on the web site Fertility UK - http://www.fertilityuk.org
FAM is also cheap in that past the book you only really need to buy a basal body thermometer, these I have seen for as little as £1. Although FAM can be hard to learn at first it's benefits are life long, and within a few months of using FAM you should either be pregnant or know why you are not pregnant.

Other similar options would be to use CycleBeads that are beads that show your fertile and none fertile days, Boots also has an ovulation kit which consists of a little case with charts and a basal body thermometer for £12 that would be similar to FAM, NFP and other ovulation methods but without as much attention to detail – which you do not really need if planning on getting pregnant. You could also go the more hi-tech route by using computers such as Babycomp or Persona that will both tell you when you are ovulating – I do believe you can also get ovulation testing kits, however these are not as accurate at determining when you are fertile.

Another idea which would be simpler and cheaper, although not as effective, would be to use basic tracking methods and charting these in a calendar or online, there are a few web sites around, most will work on a method similar to the Rhythm Method where it determines fertile days in accordance to your cycle and previous cycles – i.e. your last period was on day x, your next period will be on day y, so your ovulation will be on day z. This is similar to saying that you ovulate on day 14 of your cycle, although in a regular typical cycle this would be correct (ovulation around day 12-16) if you have irregular cycles or simply your cycle is not set to this pattern this can do little for you and end up with you having sex on the wrong days, not falling pregnant and believing there is a fertility problem where there is none.

14 days from the first day of your period.x
12- 16 days after the first day of your period, 12 if u have shorter cycle and 16 for longer and 14 for 28
I don't know what the weather is like where you are but, in my experience, it's best to conceive as close to summer as possible. You will be experiencing many changes in your body and your hormones that will cause you to have almost constant hot flashes so if you could be pregnant during the winter and avoid pregnancy during summer months your pregnancy will be much more bearable. Good luck!
i will make it a bit shorter go to my monthly cycles .com and punch in you first day of your period it will then tell you and you will get an ovulation date good luck
After the kids go to sleep.
Margar the best time to conceive is on the day that your eggs are being released.
After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.
After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.
Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.
Whenever he says it is !
on advice from my doctor,,around 12 to 15 days after your period that is depending on if your period are regular 28 days cycles , but not to go flat out as you can deplete sperm supply,, he reccomends to have sex at least 4 times a week regularly if you are wanting to get pregnant
