In the not so distant past it was believed that the quickest way to get pregnant fast was to make love on the day of ovulation - the time that your egg is released.
Today research has shown the "window" of conception opportunity is actually much wider, and more forgiving that previously thought.
Indeed, studies show that because sperm can live in a woman's reproductive tract for 3 to5 days, making love beginning a few days prior to ovulation, as well as on the day of ovulation gives you the best possible chances for getting pregnant fast. More over, the more times you can make love during this time frame, the more likely you are to get pregnant.
So, how can your basal body temperature help you predict when to make love?
If you keep your basal body temperature chart for a minimum of 3 months you should begin to see a pattern develop - to the point where you can begin to "predict" when your ovulation will occur.
Since the window of conception opportunity is now 3 to 5 five days in length, you don't have to be spot-on with your calculations. As long as you begin to make love within 48 hours of your expected ovulation time, your chance of getting pregnant increases dramatically.
What else can help: Paying attention to your cervical mucous.
Indeed, along with the temperature changes that occur during your monthly cycle, there are also changes in your cervical mucuous - differences in the amount and consistency that correlate with the hormonal fluctuations linked to ovulation.
To validate your most fertile time look for these cervical mucous changes:
1. At the start of a new cycle - a day or so after your bleeding ends - you will notice your vagina feels very dry - and you have very little cervical mucous.
2. As you approach ovulation, your cervical mucous will become more abudnant, and take on a creamy, almost white consistency. As you get closer to ovulation it will become so abundant you may find you are staining your panties.
3. Just prior to ovulation, your cervical mucous becomes extremely thin, slippery in feel with a slight stretch, and it is very almost clear in color.
4. Just after ovulation your cervical mucous becomes dry and sticky - with a consistency almost like rubber cement.
TO GET PREGNANT FAST: Begin making love as soon as you feel your cervical mucous production increasing, and becoming very creamy and wet - usually about 3 to 5 days prior to ovulation. Continue until you feel it become sticky - meaning ovulation has occured and your chances for getting pregnant this cycle have now passed.
In addition to the BBT and the cervical mucous changes there are also corresponding changes in the shape and feel of your cervix. In Getting Pregnant: What You Need To Know Right Now you'll find additional information about those changes and an easy-to-follow guide on how to further identify your most fertile time.
