Finding Your Most Fertile Days..
The most important thing to know about getting pregnant? It's all in the timing! Follow this step-by-step guide to determine your most fertile days by Dr. Swapna Chekuri, fertility specialist, and gynecologist.
Step #1 First have to keep track of your periods.
Is your menstrual cycle regular? How many days elapse between your periods? These are the first and most important information to know. If you're not sure how long and how regular your cycles are, here's how to find out:
Mark your calendar on the day you get your period. This is Day One. Count each day until your next period arrives (when you'll begin at Day One again).
You may need to do this for three or four months to get an accurate measure of the length and regularity of your cycle. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long, but normal cycles can range from 23 to 35 days in length. And of course, cycles can vary in length from month to month.

Step #2 Determine your ovulation days.
The key to conception is having intercourse during a small window of time around ovulation when a ripened egg is released from one of the ovaries and moves into the fallopian tube. So, the second important thing you need to know to pinpoint your most fertile days is when you ovulate. Here's how to find out:

If your cycles are very regular...
You may be able to determine when you ovulate by doing some simple mathematical calculations: in the average menstrual cycle, ovulation occurs 14 days before the menstrual period arrives — or on day 14 of a 28-day cycle. So if you subtract 14 days from the length of your cycle, you'll get an idea of when you ovulate. For better understanding.. A woman with a regular 30-day cycle probably ovulates around day 16; a woman with a regular 26-day cycle, around day 12.

If your cycles aren't very regular...
Or you'd like a more accurate picture of your ovulation, you can try one of the following techniques for pinpointing ovulation:

Track your temperature.

One of the tip-offs that ovulation has occurred is that a woman's regular body temperature (or basal body temperature) increases slightly. You can detect this "thermal shift" by taking your temperature every morning at the same time before you get out of bed. If you chart your temperature each day for a few months, you'll probably begin to see a pattern that will help you predict when you are about to ovulate.

Watch for changes in your cervical mucus.

This low-tech method for monitoring fertility won't pinpoint exactly when you've ovulated, but it will give you some indication of whether you're in a fertile period or not. As your body prepares to ovulate, it produces larger quantities of thin, clear cervical mucus, a substance that smoothes the way for the sperm to meet the egg.

Step #3 Figure out when to have intercourse with your partner
Once you have a clear picture of your ovulation cycle, there's only one thing left to do — get down to business! This is probably the most misunderstood part of the conception puzzle.

For example, if you have intercourse once you've ovulated, you may be too late! Most healthcare practitioners advise you to have intercourse every day or every other day beginning about five days before ovulation and continuing through the day after ovulation.

Why? Because, though sperm can live as long as three to five days inside a woman's body, an egg's life span is only about 12 to 24 hours. By having intercourse before you ovulate, as well as on the day of and the day after ovulation, you maximize your chances of getting pregnant.
