Knowing the fertile time in a woman\’s cycle is important for knowing the best time to conceive – but it is a somewhat multi-faceted phenomenon to understand. Firstly when an egg is released it will only live a short time, a maximum of 24 hours and if two eggs are released in one ovulation cycle then that means only around two fertile days in a month. Another factor for consideration is the man, who\’s sperm lives for up to five days which combines to mean that a couple is jointly fertile for about one week in each month. The best indication of a woman\’s fertile time is the presence of fertile cervical fluid (eggwhite consistency) up until ovulation is over – which may be a couple of days, or may be only one.

Many women think they may have gotten pregnant during a menstrual period, which is an essentially impossible thing to do. It happens rarely but a woman can become pregnant from sexual intercourse had during the last one or two days of her period. This is only really possible when the woman has a very short cycle, and the sperm survive long enough to be present at ovulation. It is important to note that many women mistakenly think that blood spotting during their ovulation is a menstrual period and get pregnant at this time. This only serves to highlight the importance of knowing your cycle well.

Doctors commonly focus on measuring changes in basal body temperature for finding the best time to conceive. Unfortunately this is to the exclusion of one of the most accurate indicators of fertility, and that is cervical fluids. What\’s more the basal temperature if used for finding fertile times can actually be more of a hindrance for couples trying to conceive, as the body\’s temperature rises after the egg is already dead – by which time it is too late. Of course that doesn\’t mean that there is no use for charting the basal temperature, but it is useless as a measure of the fertile period.

The best way to get in touch with your fertile times is to start charting changes in your cervical fluid. There is cervical mucus which resembles eggwhites, and this is what you are looking for as an indication of your fertile time. 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, of a wet sensation. On the last day that there is an eggwhite mucus (the most fertile day) is the best time to conceive.

For couples where the man has a normal sperm count then when the wet fertile fluid comes it is the time to start having intercourse (daily) up until you see a rise in the basal temperature which indicated that the fertile time is actually over. When there is a low sperm count in the man then couples should only have sexual relations on every second day during the fertile time and should stop once the rise in basal temperature is noted.

Because the qualities (colour, consistency, volume) of the cervical mucus can vary greatly over the month, it is important that you know what to look for. By recording the changes you can really increase the likelihood of getting pregnant.

Of course when a woman is ovulation is the best time to conceive, and when you are ovulating that is when you have the most cervical fluid. At ovulation the cervical fluid called \’eggwhite mucus\’ is present, and as it is the most fertile cervical fluid, it is premium baby making stuff!

If you want an accurate measure of where you are in your cycle, then noting the changes in cervical mucus can help a lot. Noting these changes for a number of months will give you the tools to pin-point very accurately when you ovulate, and in contrast to the use of the basal temperature method, you will actually know before hand, and have the opportunity of using the fertile window.

It can be a daunting thing to think about getting pregnant after miscarriage because of the fear of a second recurrence. Medically referred to as \’spontaneous abortion\’ a miscarriage is the loss of a pregnancy before about twenty weeks growth. As much as 25% of all pregnancies that are known about end in miscarriage according to statistics from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. This rate will most likely be higher in actuality because miscarriages can happen before a woman is even aware she is pregnant.

The reasons behind miscarriage are not yet fully understood. Miscarriages that occur in the first twelve weeks of a pregnancy are believed to be the result of a random occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities present in the foetus, and this inhibits its normal development and causes a miscarriage.

Of course the state of the mother\’s health also plays a part. A woman\’s medical history can also be a factor, as conditions like diabetes (if untreated) and some autoimmune diseases as well as structural abnormalities in the uterus can all make a miscarriage more likely. A woman\’s lifestyle and factors such as smoking or inappropriate drug abuse can all lead to an increased likelihood of miscarriage. There are also a large number of miscarriages which are the result of the egg not being implanted in the uterus correctly – thankfully this can be corrected by knowing the most appropriate times of the month for successful conception, but more on that later.

There are a number of signs that may precede a miscarriage including lower back pain and cramps in the abdomen and pelvis as well as fluid or tissue and blood coming from the vagina. Many women experience some blood spotting during early pregnancy, so although bleeding precedes a miscarriage, it is not always the case that when there is some blood you are miscarrying.

Most miscarriages in the early stages do not require medical treatment as the uterus voluntarily empties out like a heavy period. If there is tissue that remains in the uterus (which shows up on an ultrasound) then a procedure to cleanse the uterus, or medication to make the uterus expel the remaining tissue may be required. This is an important step if tissue remains inside, as infections may set in if nothing is done. It is best if couples do not try getting pregnant after miscarriage for at least a couple of months, six months is best. For couples who experience recurring miscarriages there are tests which can try and determine the cause and a solution.

Before rushing out to get these test (which are not always painless) make sure that the cause of the miscarriage is not the egg being improperly implanted into the lining of the uterus. This can be reduced to a huge extent by knowing the correct times in the months for having intercourse and conceiving.

This is the time when a woman\’s cervical fluid is of an \’eggwhite\’ consistency, and it is the most fertile time in the woman\’s cycle. When the man has a normal sperm count, then the couple should have intercourse every day of the eggwhite cervical fluid and should only cease once a rise in basal temperature is noticed in the woman. If there is a problem with sperm count, then it is important that intercourse is only undertaken every second day of the fertile cervical fluid up until a rise in temperature is noted. By having sex during this fertile period, the chances of conceiving are higher, and it is more likely that the egg will be properly implanted into the uterus\’ lining, thus lowering the chances of miscarriage.

Pre-pregnancy preparation is also important, so your health must be attended to. It is important to make sure you are eating right, are keeping your weight in a healthy range and are getting enough exercise. Quitting cigarettes and not being around other people\’s smoke is also important. Other things like caffeine and alcohol should also be cut from the diet and lifestyle. External toxins from paints and such things are important to avoid, so if you are painting the house, use \’green\’ products, and re-carpeting should be avoided as many new carpets have loads of formaldehyde in them. For couples who are looking at getting pregnant after miscarriage, it is important that you deal with any emotional and stress issues and look at lifestyle factors which may have contributed – and when trying, always have intercourse at the fertile time of month to avoid any repeated miscarriage.
