How to Get Pregnant Fast

Knowing the best time to conceive is about knowing when the fertile time in a woman’s cycle is, but this is a somewhat complex thing to understand. To begin with the life of an egg when released is a maximum of 24 hours and given that there may be two eggs released in the twenty four hours of ovulation, this leaves only around two days which are fertile. From the man’s side his sperm can survive inside for around five days so coupled with the woman this means around a week of fertility in a month. The best indication of a woman’s fertile time is the presence of fertile cervical fluid (egg white consistency) up until ovulation is over – which may be a couple of days, or may be only one.

There are lots of women who think they conceived a child during a period, despite this being a next to impossible thing to do. There are occasions when one may become pregnant from intercourse during the end of her period, but this is quite rare. This is only really possible when the woman has a very short cycle, and the sperm survive long enough to be present at ovulation. Importantly many woman mistake blood spotting during ovulation for their menses, and get pregnant at this time and think it was during their period. This highlights well the need of women to understand their bodies and their unique monthly cycle.

The common method provided by doctors for finding the best time to conceive is by measuring the basal body temperature. Unfortunately this is to the exclusion of one of the most accurate indicators of fertility, and that is cervical fluids. Moreover using the basal method for fertile timings can actually impede efforts at conception, because by the time a change in temperature is recorded it’s too late and the egg has died. Basal temperature measuring is a part of knowing your body and is useful in getting pregnant, but it is not a measure of fertile times, and this is not acknowledged enough by doctors.

The best way to get in touch with your fertile times is to start charting changes in your cervical fluid. The cervical mucus you are looking for as the fertile sign resembles egg whites. The eggwhite fluid tells you that you are ovulating, but some women have trouble determining what to look for, so another indicator is the wettest type of fluid, or a wet sensation. The best time to conceive is the last day that there is the egg white mucus present.
