Pregnancy - When Can you Get Pregnant

Executive summary about When To Get Pregnant by Alien

A woman with one ovary usually has the same chance of getting pregnant as a woman with two. The remaining ovary must be attached to the remaining fallopian tube. If only an ovary and the opposite fallopian tube exist, it is much more likely that during ovulation, an egg will not pass down the fallopian tube. If you are planning when to get pregnant in the near future, you may be wondering when exactly it is that you can get pregnant.

During each monthly cycle, your body will, subtly and carefully, build a lining of blood vessels and nutrients in your uterus. This is a careful introductory preparation for the time when to get pregnant. In all probabilities, you can get pregnant when the lining of the uterus is ready. This stage is called “ovulation” during which the egg is being released into your uterus.

If you don’t get pregnant during your ovulation stage, the egg eventually dies and the lining of your uterus becomes too old. You typically cannot get pregnant at this point of your monthly cycle.

Executive summary about When To Get Pregnant by Michael Porteous

The first thing a couple needs to know about getting pregnant is a woman’s menstruation cycle. It consists of four different phases:

The menses (the periods)
Lasting from 3-5 days this is where if the egg has not been fertilized the walls of the womb falls away and is passed out the vagina.

The follicular phase
This is where a new egg of formed in the ovaries and takes from day 10 to 14 before it is released and the womb has been repaired.

Ovulation
This is the time when the egg is released and travels down the fallopian tube to the womb; this takes about 5 days from days 10-14

The luteal phase
At about day 14 after the start of the menses the body starts to release progesterone which is used to keep the embryo alive and can help with continuing pregnancy. This cycle lasts till the 28th day when it starts to break down and the menses period starts again.

During the Ovulation period is considered the most fertile times and from day 10-18 is considered the peak fertility period and the best time to get pregnant. Each woman varies somewhat on these times but after 18 days the womb is degrading and cannot support a pregnancy and before that there is no egg to fertilize. It is also important to notice that Sperm can stay alive in a woman’s womb for up to 5 days giving a period of time similar to the woman’s fertile times.

Try to keep a menstrual calendar so you can keep on top of when is the most fertile times. Hopefully if you keep to this your cries of "Why cant I get pregnant!" can turn into "Hooray it is baby time!!" now that you know when to get pregnant!
