I’ve been asked many times before by friends about the best “how to get pregnant tips” that I know of. And my reply every time it seems is always as automatic as the rise and fall of the sun. “Are you sure you are ready to have a baby?” For me, having a baby is no easy job. Nine months of carrying a human being inside your womb, the trauma of labor and childbirth, sleepless nights, and the dreaded college fund. Ok, enough of that. Let me get back to the topic at hand.
Before we get to my ‘get pregnant tips’, let us first discuss about ovulation itself. Ovulation likely happens 12 to 16 days right after the first day of your previous period. Elevated body temperature, slight cramping, change in vaginal secretion, and in some cases, light spotting, are some changes the body undergoes during the ovulation process. As these changes can be very subtle, you might have seen or felt these changes but just brushed it aside.
With all things said, here are 4 common ovulation signs.
One of those signs is the increase of vaginal secretions. During ovulation, your vaginal secretion increases and its consistency becomes somewhat that of a raw egg white. You will notice an increase of an almost transparent vaginal discharge two to three days before ovulation. You are fertile during this stage, but this fertility increases during the last day of discharge. This is due to the fact that ovulation occurs on the last day of this discharge. Take note that the sperm has a longer lifespan than the egg. Having intercourse even before ovulation can greatly increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Another symptom of ovulation is slight cramping. This cramping is medically called Mittelschmerz. Middle pain in German, it can be felt on whichever side you are ovulating on. Mittelschmerz is due to the release of the egg down the fallopian tube and can occur many times in one day.
A rise in your basal body temperature can also be a sign of ovulation. Your basal body temperature is the constant temperature our body has when it is at rest. In order to chart your basal temperature, you have to do this early in the morning, right before you get out of bed or do any physical activity. The action of getting out of bed can change our basal temperature thus giving you an incorrect reading. Using an ovulation chart to hlep track your basal body temperature for a few months can greatly help you in knowing when you are most likely to ovulate next, basically giving you an idea as to when the best time to get pregnant is.
Now we come to my last indicator. An increase in the desire to have sex. Now, do I really have to explain this?
I hope my ‘how to get pregnant tips’ helped. I hope you send me a message when it does.
