But, the most important thing at the time of looking for a pregnancy is that you lower the anxiety. The more attentive and expectant be, the less you will achieve your target: to remain a pregnant woman.

Ovulation:

The ovulation is the moment in which an ovum matures inside the ovary, it is liberated and it goes towards the Falopio horn. The ovulation happens every month. The ovulation is the fertile period of the cycle of the woman, or the moment where she can remain a pregnant woman. The fertility of the ovum only lasts between 12 at 24 hours after having being liberated. On the other hand the sperms can live inside the vagina up to 72 hours. For this motive the ideal moment for having sexual relations if she wants to remain a pregnant woman, would be approximately 2 days before the ovulation, and the day of the ovulation itself, and one day after the above mentioned ovulation. But: how to detect the exact moment of the ovulation, to know when must we have relations sexual?

If you are regular in your menstrual cycles, and they are 28 days old, the moment of the ovulation will be the 14th, counting like the first day of the cycle the first day of your menstruation, or that if you have sexual relations 2 days earlier and up to 1 day after the day of your ovulation you will have possibilities of remaining a pregnant woman.
If your periods are regular and are every 27 days, you must count 27 days from your first day of menstruation to know when it will be the next one. If you count 14 days backwards, this will be the exact day of your ovulation.

Now then, if your menstrual cycles are irregular, you will have to be attentive to other corporal symptoms to detect the exact moment of your ovulation, or to buy in a drugstore a test of ovulation - test of urine - that detects the increase of the hormone luteinizante (is not an infallible method, since this hormone can increase without the ovulation being provoked); returning to the corporal symptoms that you must recognize to know which there are your fertile days to remain a pregnant woman we can mention for example:

The secretion of cervical snot is what commonly we call a vaginal flow, this one, the days before to the ovulation it changes in his texture and volume for the estrogen increase in your body. The days before to the ovulation you will have more quantity of vaginal flow, and it will be more flexible and of clearer color (as if it was a raw egg white)

Special thermometers exist to measure the basal temperature. You her will have to take every day of the cycle, before getting up. The day of the ovulation, your temperature will raise a grade in average, for the increase of the hormone progesterone. 2 or 3 days before the temperature is in his maximum point, will be the most suitable to try to remain a pregnant woman.

how for example strong and shooting, or softer pain. The above mentioned pain can last a little bit, or some hours, and he would be announcing the ovulation. Anyway not all the women register this pain, to himself who is not slightly sure.

If you do not remain pregnant, what debits to do:

If during the space of 18 months of trying to remain a pregnant woman you do not achieve it, this will be the moment to consult with a specialist. You will have to come with your couple since the cause can be for:

Masculine factors (in 40 % of the cases) as for example: lacking in sperms, number much low of them, which have problems in his mobility, powerlessness, premature ejaculation, prostate infections, etc.
