When a couple is planning to have a baby, very often this thought passes through both of their minds about the best time to get pregnant. Very few are unaware of the "Best time to get Pregnant", as sometimes routine intercourse does not lead to fruitful results. Very often the "best time" gets missed unnoticed.

When planning for pregnancy some points must be given due consideration -

1. The relation between the partners

2. General health of both the partners

3. Financial conditions whether it can accommodate a new comer or not.

These factors if properly checked saves lots of emotional stress and tension during the entire period of pregnancy.

How to determine the best time to conceive?

Best time for the woman to get pregnant is the time when the woman has gained the maximum fertility in a month. This can be determined by -

1. Calculating the ovulation period which starts from the 14th- 16th day of the month counting from the first day of the period. In a regular menstrual cycle of 28 days the egg from the ovary is released on the 14th day and is ready to get fertilized ...
... with the sperm. The ovulation period can be checked with hi- tech ovulation kit available now-a-days. Generally the sperm survives for 3-5 days but the egg survives 12-20 hours of its release. So the chances of conception are better if the egg finds sperms waiting for fertilization.

2. During ovulation the basal body temperature increases, which can't be felt most of the time but can be determined by a basal body thermometer. This period is favorable for the woman to get pregnant.

3. As the days for ovulation progresses, the cervical mucosa gives an indication of the fertility of the woman. The cervical mucosa increases in volume, texture and turns slippery due to the higher levels of estrogen. This mucus protects the sperm and helps in the fertilization with the egg and the woman is said to have reached the height in fertility.

4. During ovulation some lower abdominal discomforts can be observed and that can be the best time to get pregnant. Mild aches, pains and cramps may occur which lasts for few minutes to few days depending upon the individual. About one out of five women face this ovulation discomfort.

To calculate the best time to get pregnant one must keep a chart of the ovulation, basal body temperature of 2-3 months to determine the fertile days. Lovemaking must be an enjoyable activity for both the partners and not just a routine work to maximize the chances of conception.
