A woman will ovulate one day per menstrual cycle - although she may ovulate twice within that time frame, normally one egg from each ovary if this does occur.

How long after ovulation can you tell if you are pregnant?

* Conception usually occurs about 5-7 days after intercourse * Your most fertile period is about 5 days before ovulation * For most(but not all) women ovulation occurs about 14 days prior to her period. Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/ To ensure the best results: * Take the test in the morning, if possible, because your hCG (pregnancy hormone) levels are at it's highest * Don't drink a bunch of fluids before taking the test because it will dilute your urine and can affect the results * Take the test no more than 1-2 days before expected period. Although some test say that you can see results up to 5 days before your missed period, the percentage of accuracy is very low. * urinate for as long as possible on the foam-like strip * wait for the results!

What are your chances of having a boy when you have intercourse on the day of ovulation?

Getting pregnant is only a 25% chance. While it is true that on average one only has a 25% chance of being pregnant, this means in any given cycle. Your chances are quite good that you are pregnant if you had sex on your first day of ovulation, and your spotting is a good indicator that you have implanted. The chances are extremely high. But don't just have intercourse on your ovulation days, continue having intercourse several days after ovulation for a higher chance of falling pregnant because the egg is continuing its way down the tube. I suggest having sex a few days before and after you ovulate. It pretty much doubles your chances of getting pregnant! Very high. even days before. Extremely high. Ovulation is the day the egg is released, which dies within 24-48 (1-2 days) if not fertilized. The egg can only become fertilized in the fallopian tubes. the only problem with this is most people don't know how long it takes for sperm to reach the egg. The chances of getting pregnant by having sex around the day you ovulate is 60% in any one cycle.

That type of cervical mucus means you are fertile. It indicates that ovulation is approaching but has not happened yet. Once you ovulated it will become thicker and whiter. The 12th day is not too early to be seeing that for a 30 day cycle. http://wish2conceive.com 12 days since the last day is probably around 17 days since the first and therefore 13 days before the next on a 30 day cycle, therefore your fertile time.

How often should you have intercourse while ovulating if you're trying to conceive?

You ovulate 10-16 days BEFORE the start of your period. For example, if your cycle is 30 days long you will ovulate between cycle day 16 and day 20. SOME women get "egg white" cervical mucus (throughout the day - this is very different from arousal fluid and not to be confused with semen). Typically fertile cervical mucus will be present for 2-5 days around ovulation. This fluid will be clear or slightly cloudy, it will be either very wet (almost watery) or resemble an egg white. The rest of the cycle it may be creamy, sticky, pasty or dry. Taking 2g of Evening Primrose Oil (from day 1 to ovulation), daily Omega Fish Oils, and drinking 2L of water per day can improve cervical fluid. Because not ALL women notice this change in cervical fluid (often it is internal or short lived), you are ALWAYS best to follow the rule - "you ovulate 10-16days before your next period". You want to have intercourse in the 3 days before ovulation and on ovulation day - at least 2 times over this fertile period. You should lie down for 30 minutes after (with hips SLIGHTLY raised if you wish - raise them too high and you will actually prevent the sperm from entering the cervix though). Sperm quality is best in the MORNING.Typically sperm live for 24-48 hours once inside the cervix and womb. (Over 300 million sperm enter the vagina, but only 2 million will make it through the cervix). Therefore, as long as you lie down for 20-30 mins after it does not matter which time of the day you have intercourse. Every other day/every 36 hours is sufficient to improve your chances of conception. Taking your Basal Body Temperature can also tell you after you have ovulated (low before ovulation, spikes 0.5-1 degree higher the day after ovulation, drops low again the day before your period starts). Some women also use OPK, Ovulation Predictor Tests/Kits. Once you get a positive ovulation test, you are fertile for between 24-72 hours. You should have intercourse the day of the positive test and the 2 days after. Note that ALL intercourse can be attributed to intercourse during the 5 days before ovulation, although it is rare for sperm to live this long in the female reproductive tract.
