What are some helpful tips on getting pregnant?
I’m almost 25 and my fiance (soon to be husband) and I are planning on getting pregnant within the next 6 months. I’m worried I won’t be able to get pregnant since I’ve been on Birth Control for so many yrs, but others have told me I can get pregnant within a couple months. The major problem I have had in the past was periods (when I went off B.C.) showing up just random times and sometimes for weeks at a time. Obviously it’s hard to get pregnant when you are always PMS-ing. Any ideas on how to control my period from coming all the time? Also, are there any ‘secrets’ on how to get pregnant? Foods? Excercise? Luck? Pills?
Thank you!!
PS Please only serious answers, we have been trying for (on and off) for 3 yrs. with no luck……
I am pregnant and very irritating. please help?

You will need to speak with your doctor, I’ve heard of people not getting there period but never getting it to much. In the meantime you can get an ovulation kit to pinpoint your ovulation date. I would exercise 3x a week just to stay fit and healthy, and also start taking prenatal vitamins. If you’ve been trying off and on for 3 years you may need to get the doctor to run some tests with you and your soon to be hubby just to make sure everything is okay.
Good Luck!
I recommend buying okp’s (online is inexpensive) and tracking your ovulation, having sex every other day leading up to a positive opk and through it. Then relaxing for the two week wait. Other than that do have an appointment with your Dr. to evaluate your current health and previous cycle patterns, then stay in contact with him or her for professional suggestions as you actual try to conceive. Many women of all ages manage to conceive after years of BC and odd period cycles so don’t go into this with stress..I highly recommend that, stress will not help you conceive!
Good luck and happy holidays!
I had the same problem you have when your not on birth control. To get pregnant with my youngest son they put me back on birth control to regulate everything for a few months then pulled me off it, thats when I got pregnant with my son who just turned two. I would talk to your doctor.
Your body will work itself out. I was on The Pill for 10 years and got pregnant within 3 months. Try not to think about it at all. Just have lots of hot monkey sex as much as possible and enjoy yourself! Also the more you reach orgasm, the wider open your cervix will be to let those cute little spermies in!! Number one- R-E-L-A-X!
I’ll refer you to a recent answer which spelled out my “recipe”.

Fertility signals
Knowing your own body and being able to tell when you are fertile / ovulating is an important skill and one that every woman should have.
The fact is, there are only certain times in a woman’s cycle when she is fertile or ovulating and can get pregnant. So it pays off to know when those times are.
Your body will give you clear clues and signals as to when fertility is approaching and occurring.
A brief note, this system of observing fertility changes has nothing to do with the rhythm method. The rhythm method does not use bodily signals and is often very unreliable due to factors like the ignorance of the natal lunar phase, sickness, stress etc. If you are simply counting days and guessing when you should be fertile, this could be slowing down your bid to conceive.
A woman is fertile when she is ovulating and ovulation usually occurs mid cycle. In fact, ovulation almost always occurs 14 days before the next bleed. Sometimes women do experience a longer or shorter post ovulatory phase (than 14 days) but this usually indicates that there is a hormonal imbalance.
Ovulation occurs 14 days before next bleed this is the rule. And the fertile window can start a few days before that.
Spontaneous ovulation can also occur during your natal lunar phase.
The table below provides a rough description of the very real physical and emotional symptoms that you can observe throughout your menstrual cycle. It is a brief guide that I have put together from my own observation.
These are some of the signals that you can observe and note down on your Personal Charting System. The time frame is very approximate, so don’t worry if your cycle is not the same – everyone is individual.
Week 1
From first day of bleeding Bleeding and the various symptoms felt during this part of the cycle varies with the individual, ranging from, cramping, back ache, hollow feeling inside vagina or the sensation that your innards will fall out to no ill effects at all.
At the post bleeding phase there is generally an increase in physical energy and vitality.
The individual is more outgoing and sociable. Sleep patterns and appetite return to normal.
Vaginal mucus is dry or absent .
Week 2 As ovulation approaches cervical mucus become wetter, slippery, white (whatever is your individual pattern.)
Ovulation
Day 14 approximately
Mucus is very wet and slippery, easily allowing penetration of sperm. Other symptoms may include tender breasts, mood swings, increase in libido, cramps, break through bleeding, desire to be with your partner.
Week 3
After Ovulation moving into pre-menstrual phase
Mucus production slows, becomes drier and thicker . Moods balance out again.
Week 4
Pre-menstrual phase
Pre-menstrual symptoms kick in, which depending upon you, range from bloating, cramps, headaches, mood swings, food cravings, and insomnia. Energy levels decrease, libido may increase. Desire for solitude increases as does intuitive ability.
The table above is not the definitive guide, and each cycle may not be the same, it all depends on how you are and what’s going on in your life.
When you observe your body you will start to see a very clear pattern of what happens in your body during your menstrual cycle.
The main fertility indicators to look for are:
Cervical mucus
Bodily symptoms – that is moods, aches, libido, appetite, sleep patterns
Basal Temperature
