If everything is healthy and normal with
both your and your husband’s
reproductive system you can get pregnant.
To get pregnant you'll need to practice
unprotected sexual intercourse during the
"fertile" days of your menstrual cycle.
The fertile days are the days that occur
around ovulation (both before, during, and
a little after the egg releases). More
specifically, the two days before and
after ovulation are considered as fertile
days. Ovulation, by definition, is the
moment when the egg-cell is expelled from
the ovary. There are three ways you can
predict the ovulation:
1. The calendar method – ovulation
occurs 14 days before the next expected
menstrual period. This method can be used
only in women with regular menstrual
cycles because women with irregular cycles
can’t estimate the date of next
menstruation. For example: if your cycle
lasts 29 days and your last menstruation
started on 3rd Dec. your next menstruation
should come on 31st Dec. Then you count
14 days back from the 31st Dec to arrive
at the 18th Dec. as a possible ovulation
day. Therefore, the fertile days are 16th,
17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Dec.;
2. Measuring the body temperature every
morning – several hours after ovulation,
body temperature rises a little bit. When
you notice that slight temperature rise
you should have intensive sex over the
next couple of days;
3. Using ovulation predictor tests (OPT)
– 12-36 hours before ovulation the level
of Luteinisating hormone (LH) suddenly
increases and soon after that it decreases
(it creates a "peak"). OPTs or OPKs
(ovulation predictor kits) detect that
peak. You should have intensive sex over
the next 4-5 days.
