Hi Nats,

I think this information will really help you out. Good luck!


  • Introduction
    • So many people put such great effort into avoiding pregnancy that it seems like the moment you try getting pregnant you should instantly succeed. Unfortunately, for many people it's not that easy. Read on to learn the things you can do (besides the obvious!) to get pregnant.



  • Step 1: Before You Start Trying
    • Before you begin trying to achieve pregnancy, it's best to be in the top possible health. You should also eliminate anything in your life that could damage your fertility.



  • Step 2: Learn When You're Most Fertile
    • A woman isn't fertile every day of her cycle. A study by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences showed women can only get pregnant six days out of the monthly cycle - the five days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. If you and your partner are only having sex once a week, you may be missing your ovulation window!
    • You may have learned in high school health class that ovulation takes place 14 days after the start of your period, but that's only for people who have a consistent 28-day cycle, says the Mayo Clinic - and not even all of those people ovulate at the same time. By noting just a few pieces of information (your waking body temperature, cervical fluid characteristics, and cervical information) on a calendar or chart, you can confidently predict when you will ovulate, and have intercourse at the time when it is most likely to get you pregnant.



  • Materials You'll Need For Fertility Tracking
    • In order to accurately determine when you are most fertile, you'll need a few simple tools.

    1. If you do not already own one, purchase a basal thermometer . A standard thermometer is not precise enough for fertility charting.
    2. Print out a fertility chart, or sign up for a fertility charting service online.
      • Fertility UK has fertility charts that can be used with Microsoft Excel.
      • You can print this free chart from Ovulation Calculator: Ovulation Calculator.com .
      • You can sign up for free fertility tracking software at Fertility Friend, although payment is required to access the full-featured version.
      • iVillage offers an online version of the Ovusoft fertility tracking software that is very easy to use. It requires a paid subscription, although there is a free trial available. It is available here on the iVillage Web site: iVillage Fertility Planner

Getting Pregnant to Baby and Beyond!

Congratulations and good luck on this journey to parenthood.

Women vary *tremendously* in how long it takes to ovulate when they come off the pill. Some do so the very day they don't start a new pill pack; others can take up to two years.

You can track your ovulation by using a Basal Body Temperature chart like the one found on Pregnancy.org. You can learn how to use this chart here. You can learn more about how to chart your cycles by reading "What is the BBT Charting Tool?" and "How to Chart your Basal Body Temperature".

You may also want to read "Fertility and Conception Tips", "Preconception Checklist" and check out Pregnancy.org's entire "Getting Pregnant section for more tips on being your healthiest before and during conception to ensure you have the best pregnancy possible.

How Can I Get Rid of a Yeast Infection?

QUESTION Dear Midwife, I have had a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy. My doctor has tested me for STD's and all are negative. He has prescribed metro gel to me. I have used this every few months. I am now on my 32 week and am using this prescription every other week. Is there something stronger I can use or something I can change or do differently to help? ANSWER Metrogel will not cure a yeast infection; it's for a bacterial infection and can actually cause a yeast infection. Have you tried Diflucan™ (the yeast pill)? There are also over the counter yeast preparations and a heavy duty vaginal cream (Terazol) that might be appropriate. If all these fail, borax washes help some women and the yeast can be cultured to see what will kill it. Other things you can do for yourself include: Eliminating sugars as much as possible (no soda or juices) Only two fruits and two dairies per day Eating more vegetables and proteins Good luck! -- Cynthia, CNM. PhD.
