| Simple Guides to get pregnant |
|---|
| Start outlining your menstruation cycle now When you ovulate? How to calculate? For example, if your cycle is regular, one cycle is 28 days long; you will probably ovulate on day 14. It is best to have sex two days before you ovulate because sperm can survive up to 5 days in your body. Ovulation prediction kits can predict a released egg a day in advance Check your body temperature. Your body temperature in general is lower at the earlier part of your cycle and higher at ovulation and at the end. Check your cervical mucus. When you are near ovulation, your cervical mucus increases and you will notice more of the “slippery white stuff” Lie down. The good news is that no position is really better than any other!!! |
