Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Calender
• Basal thermometer

1. 1

   Mark the first day of your menstrual cycle on a calender. Do that for a period of six months.

2. 2

   Calculate how long your menstrual cycle lasts by counting from the first day of your period to the first day of your period in the following month. Over the six-month period, it can be off a few days. A normal menstrual cycle lasts anywhere from 28 to 32 days.

3. 3

   Subtract 18 days from your shortest cycle & 11 days from your longest cycle. This will provide you with the begin & end day of your fertile period. If your cycle lasts 28 days, the begin day of your fertile period is on the 10th day of your cycle & the last day is on the 17th day of your cycle. Counting backwards 14 days from the estimated start day of your menstrual cycle also allows you to figure out your most fertile period.

4. 4

   Have sexual intercourse every other day during your fertile period. By skipping one day, your partner can produce sufficient sperm for a successful conception.

5. 5

   Use a basal thermometer on a daily basis to find out when you are most fertile. Before ovulation, your temperature goes down significantly, signaling to you this it's the right time to conceive.

6. 6

   Look for changes in your cervical mucous. Clear & stretchy mucous accompanies the right time to conceive.
