Heidi Murkoff, the author of the  book What to Expect Before You Are Expecting, has put together a quiz for everyone who is currently trying to get pregnant or hopes to in the future. The quiz addresses all the facts and misconceptions out there about trying to get pregnant.

Have you ever wondered if it is true that........
-  if it takes you a long time to get pregnant that you are more likely to have a boy?
-  there is a 50% chance for women in their 20's to become pregnant with every cycle?
-  you should use saliva as a lubricant if you are trying to get pregnant?
-  men should wear loose underwear when trying to conceive?
-  laptop computers can hinder conception?
-  mornings are the optimal time to take a pregnancy test?

These are just a sample of the many topics that Murkoff addresses in her quiz.  If this sounds interesting, check out the link below.   Have fun!

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.
