One of the best ways to get pregnant is to time your baby dance correctly. If you are just shooting randomly or think that the ovulation is on the 14 day of your cycle and you are making sex then, you might be making one of the most common mistakes.

In fact, it is great to know your ovulation day, but not to wait until you know this for sure. It is best to have sex just a few days before ovulation for best results.

When we first decided to have a baby, I went online and checked the ovulation calculators which give me a nice matrix of my fertility days, even showing when we can conceive a girls and when we can conceive a boy. With my first child we were lucky. It seemed that this was the trick. We conceived in two months. Later, when we tried for a third, I really learned the science of getting pregnant.

With age, our period might not be as regular as clockwork, there can be many factors shifting the ovulation from the 10 day of the cycle to the 20th day. So you might want to know not just the average length of your cycle, but also when you actually ovualte, which is indicated with the rise in your basal body temperature. You might also want to know when you are most fertile. That is when the sperm has a chance to survive longer in your body. The sperm can survive for up tp 5 days only if the cervical mucus is fertile. There are specific characteristics of the fertile and the hostile cervical mucus, which you can learn to notice with practice. You can confirm your findings about the most fertile days, when you check your cervical position.

This is the traditional way of timing your baby dance and this is one of the best way to get pregnant. If you find difficulties with this, you better buy an ovulation prediction kit or a fertility monitor, which can definitely indicate the days which have the greates chances of conceiving.

Be aware that if you used birth control, this may muddy the results when you start trying for a baby. You might wait for a while to have regular and clear periods. You body needs to adjust and the hormones need to come back to normal.

When we wanted to have a third baby, I was breastfeeding and this is like birth control as I did not have a period for more than 20 months after the birth. So even when I stopped breastfeeding my second child, my periods were not regular at all. With all our effort, we couls not get pregnant. When I got eventually pregnant this was a miscarriage.

Yet, at last it worked. So one of the lessons I got was that the periods should start be regular and there is no need to rush and worry so much. The body takes its time to become fertile again.

Besides, that we human are a little bit different than most mammals, when our body needs to distribute limited resources. It turns out that if there are defficient resources, the body used everything for the mother, and leaves the rest if any for the reproductive system.

This is why you need to really take good care of yourself first. Lower stress as much as possible, have fresh and green organic food which is really nourishing and easy for the body to absorb. Exercise, but not too much. Start making yoga, meditating, have a massage or accupuncture, take some fertility teas, go on a vacation, try to really enjoy life to the fullest.

Our body has its own logic. When you are overflowing with life, when you are full with delight, it can allocate resources for the next generation, but never at your expense. This why all the alternative ways to make you healthy, balanced and happy can do miracles when it comes to finding the best ways to get pregnant.
