It all depends on your cycle! I went to amazon.com and bought ovulation strips an pregnancy tests in bulk (I think it cost like $40 for 40 oculation tests and 25 pregnancy tests.....can't beat that!) and started taking the ovulation test around 10 days after my perios. Sure enough, between 12-15 days that sucker would turn blue! I also times it so I wouldn't be pregnant in the middle of the summer, I would NEVER want to do this when it's really hot out! Good luck!

I would first start out by keeping a period log, how long your perids are etc, then their are ovulation predictors on the internet and you can buy the actual test in the store, my doc told me that if your cycle is 28 days then your most fertile day is 14 days after the first day of your period, the internet has so many websites that can give you all the info you need, you can even keep track of your cycles with an online calendar!

go to www.babycenter.com and put in the first day of your last period and it tells you when you are fertile. Good luck!

Go out and buy this book "Taking Charge of your Fertility." It'll be the best investment you make! It'll teach you all about cervical mucus, basal body temping, ovulation, etc. Also, make an appt. with your ob/gyn for a pre-conception appt. to make sure you are at optimal health for trying to conceive. Best of luck!!

By the way, that's quite the picture. I am guessing it's digitized, but very cool! Where did you find it?

I tracked my cycles and had ovulation predictors and that little microscope thing, but the month I conceived was the month I threw all that stuff out and just had a lot of sex. It took us 10 months.

Tracking works for some people, and that book atlmommy mentioned is great, but it didn't work for me. I think it stressed me out. But that's just my case.

Good luck to you! Have lots of sex and really try to enjoy it. If I had to count the
number of times I was thinking of sperm and egg while having sex while we were trying...well, my poor husband would be sad!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
