Trying to Conceive Posted: 07-24-05 22:27pm


Hi...I am ttc and my periods are slightly irregular. I'm on day 3 of my period (july 24). When should I start trying? Does ovulation usually occur around 14 days after the first day or last day of your period? Thanks for any help or suggestions!

Hi there blue. I'm ttc too! Very frustrating....My mind is currently playing tricks on my mind at the moment and I can't work out if i'm pmting or not! Ovulation usually occurs 12 days before your next period. I too have irregular periods due to poly cystic ovaries. I am considering purchasing an ovulation kit. They can be expensive, but I think this will give me a better chance of conceiving. Just put a search for ovulation kit in google and see what you get. The other way of testing if you are ovulating is (dare I say it) by checking your cervical mucus (nice :? ) your cervix will produce egg white type mucus when you are ovulating. Keeping a diary of this will help you determin where you are in your cycle. During a typical 28 day cycle, the consistency of cervical mucus should be as follows: days 1-5 menses days 6-9 dry, or little to no mucus days 10-12 sticky, thick mucus, becoming less thick and whiter. Days 13-15 egg-white mucus ò thin, elastic, slippery and clear. Indicates most fertile time. Days 16-21 sticky, thick mucus days 22-29 dry mucus i hope this helps! Good luck. Xx
