Trying to Conceive (TTC)

TTC - Or Trying to Conceive - is one of life's major milestones. But for the millions of couples who are trying to become pregnant, TTC is not always as easy or quick as we imagined it would be when we were younger....

Trying To Conceive

The average age of trying-to-conceive couples is quite a bit higher than when our parents were having us. And it's even much higher than when our grandparents were TTC with our parents! Of course, the acronyms for trying to have a baby did not exist back then, nor did the online TTC support communities, and nor did all the products that can help us conceive (predict fertility, etc) today.

The fact is, a lot has changed in the last decade. With a higher average age for ttc couples, combined with the stress and speed of modern life, we know now that it may take longer to successfully conceive a baby and achieve pregnancy, even with new fangled fertility monitors, ovulation tests, and "sperm-friendly" lubricants!

Further complicating things, more and more couples may face infertility hurdles when trying to become pregnant. So, needless to say, while most of these obstacles to getting pregnant can be overcome, Tyring to Conceive can be a a very emotional issue...

Predicting Ovulation and Fertility

Your Ob/Gyn will tell you that the best way to increase your odds of conceiving is to fertility chart - combining several natural trying-to-conceive methods to increase the odds of pregnancy. These include: using a basal thermometer (bbt charting) to pinpoint the date you ovulate, which is accompanied by a basal body temperature increase; keeping an ovulation calendar; recording changes in cervical mucus or vaginal fluids; recording physical symptoms like ovulation pains - or mittelschmerz; using (or combining use) of different ovulation monitors and predictor kits (urine lh tests, saliva "ferning" scopes, fertility monitors). See our recommended product list below.

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.)
