Careful With Fish


Mon, 05/04/2009 - 09:16 — Elizabeth

When trying to become pregnant we know that diet is important. One food to be careful of is fish. Some kinds of fish contain high levels of mercury, so the FDA suggests that you avoid eating titlefish, shark, swordfish, albacore and king mackerel. The reason is that the high mercury content can be toxic for babies in utero.

Fortunately, there are other safe fish options that you can chose from. However, you should try to not eat more than 12 ounces of your fish of choice on a weekly basis. So if fish is on the menu for dinner tonight, make sure it is catfish, salmon or shrimp.

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
