Conception happens in the several hours
after ovulation. Two (2) days before and
after the ovulation are considered the
most "fertile" days.Ovulation (egg-cell
expulsion) usually occurs 14 days before
the next menstrual period is due. For
women with a 28-day long cycle, ovulation
happens in the middle of the cycle. You
can predict ovulation in a 3 ways:
1. The Calendar method - can be used only
for women with regular cycles (like you).
You can have intensive sex 16-12 days
before the next period comes;
2. Measuring the body temperature –
several hours after ovulation the body
temperature raises a little, and you've
got a "green light" for a healthy
conception environment
3. Ovulation predictor tests- several
hours before ovulation, luteinisating
hormone (LH) makes a peak that can be
detected with a special urine tests.
In your case (no pregnancy for more than a
year of trying) it is possible that you or
your aprtner are experiencing sterility
and you need medical attention. You can
consult your gynecologist. Your partner
should be tested first and then you.
