Ovulation Calendar / Pregnancy planner
When are the best days to try for a baby?
(Today is Friday, February 17 2012)
About this ovulation calendar
Enter the first day of your cycle,
the length of your menstrual cycle in days, and
press the `Tell me the dates!` button.
The days given are based on the average. Take plus or minus 3 days to be sure, also make sure you've read the following note.
Note that you are most fertile around the ovulation, the day your egg is released. This doesn't mean that you aren't fertile on other days!
You can get pregnant at any day of your cycle:
`Safe` Days In Menstrual Cycle
Guidelines for getting pregnant -- or avoiding pregnancy -- usually assume an average woman is fertile between days 10 and 17 of her menstrual cycle. But researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have demonstrated what some accidentally pregnant women may have long suspected:
Only about 30 percent of women actually have their fertile window entirely within that timespan.
In fact, the researchers found, there is hardly a day in the menstrual cycle during which some women are not potentially fertile. Women in this study were of prime reproductive age (most between 25 and 35) when the menstrual cycles are most regular. The window of fertility should be even more unpredictable for teenagers or for women approaching menopause

Kent- He is only 28 but still... I think its the pressure... last night was bitter sweet. We had sex and he seemed 'done' but he didnt 'finish' so I had tears in my eyes thinking that we are young why is this happening, and he knew that I REALLY wanted to TRY this month. Anyways so he noticed that I was upset and we had a long and he feels stressed trying to perform... so last night ended well and I think that this month we have a good chance of TTC.... I told him lets just have SEX forget about TRYING to MAKE a baby... Lets see how this works. I am using OPKs only becuase I had such a long cycle last time I dont want to stop BDing to soon.... However I think I will try to keep it at everyother day to ever 3rd day having sex..... Until AF gets or I get my BFP! :) Sooo here goes nothing Sun is the start that I have been waiting for :):):)

Hi Ladies - Just checking in on all of the TTCers:) Chatter - SOOOO EXCITING!! Go Fertilitea! Ha! MFARMER - I was just looking at the calendar thinking to myself... 'March is just around the corner'. Yay for BD'ing! I think you may be onto something with sperm regeneration. The first few months of TTC we BD'd everyday throughout the 'O' range of days. The last month we didn't use OPK's but just BD'd every other day to every third day all month long and I got preggers. I don't know how old your DH is but mine is significantly older than me so I'm thinking that he just needed a day in between to recover. Lol! Anyway - GO MARCH!! ANGELIC - Hang in there sweetie, don't they always say it happens when you least expect it? I'm glad to hear that AF made her way back so that you can get on with the program! I hope all of my mommy to be friends are doing great - Boom, Liz, Cook & Chatter - Miss you ladies!!!

Ladies, I just came back to tell you my good news, I have twins! What a surprise and I am so happy! Now I have mentioned it before, but really, I think that drinking the FertiliTea, which costs $15 for a month supply as well as taking a baby aspirin a day and is what made the difference for me. I would recommend giving it a try for anyone who is serious. Search FertiliTea and you will find the online store that sells it. Good luck ladies!

ANGELIC- WHEN we 'gave up' that is when it seemed to happen. With our first !!! hope it happens for you sooner than later!!! MFARMER- HOW frusterating about the package being lost. That bites. That build up of sperm is a good idea!!! I hope it works too!!!

Gyn rang me this morning, he wants me to try another course of Primolut N to see if it will bring AF on...not sure thats such a great idea, as it didnt work last week, why would it work this week...I think I have come to a point where I am just ready to give up. This last 2 months has been utter hell with all the waiting, the praying and then the BFN;s and now rthe no show of AF..its all just gotten too much for me.

Liz- I have 4 days!! I have been busy and stressed!! after AF was 6 days late I decided to get OPKs to know for sure when I Oed... well when I set up my ebay I put the wrong address so my package is still lost and I need them like NOW! anyways I read on this web site that if you have been trying for a while (4 months or longer) and your not pregnant (and your hubby hasnt had a sperm count done) then try having sex 24 to 36 hrs apart... and dont have sex for 3 days be 4 your fertile period.. I am going top try that... i really think that the DH has a problem building the sprem up so fast... so I hope this works! I will keep you updated! Lets hope I get pregnant be 4 you have your little girl!!! {also if I am not pregnant by July then I have a dr apmnt on the 1st to start some type of meds to help me... maybe clomid ect}

mfarmer- I think she is doing pretty good in there. I can feel her finally at least once a day. Very faint touches. My day has been pretty good. Catching another cold my daughter brought home from kindergarten. My hubs got my laptop fixed so I will be able to put a face to myself and my youngings. How has your day been? How many more days till you start bding? Maybe we should roll you and your hubs in baby dust lol.

Thanks mommyryan, I am just lost as to why I have no AF and all BFN's from the tests, I know I O'd because bloods said I did...so I am 100% sure I am late for no reason at all.
