Pregnancy and Periods

Did you know there is only a 30% chance for a woman to get pregnant each month? Did you know most women actually can't tell you when they are fertile? So how do you know when to try for a baby?
  1. Timing
  2. Ovulation kits
  3. Sex
First of all you need to know that day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your period. The day you see red blood all day. 
The last day of your cycle is the day prior to your next full bleed.
I am not going to sit here and say most women are fertile on cycle day 14 like the doctors do. I am no doctor. But I have been through years of infertility to be told I couldn't have a child.


You can ovulate ANY time of the month. Your hormones play a huge part on when you will ovulate. And you must have a leutal phase of at least 9 days minimum for the pregnancy to be viable. On the average 14 days it takes between ovulation and your next period, your body is working overtime.
Your progesterone rises causing your uterine lining to thicken for the upcoming possibility of a pregnancy. This is what you are "bleeding" and what is in those clots during your period when a pregnancy doesn't occur.

When you ovulate, your progesterone will increase. This is what keeps you from shedding that lining when becoming pregnant. 
If you do not get pregnant after ovulation, your progesterone will continue to decrease so that your period can take place.

So now you know the basics.
