Trying to Conceive? Timing Counts

Sometimes, timing is everything.
Fertility is all about timing.
Trying to conceive is all about timing.

If you're a woman and know that you would like to get pregnant, keep track of the following to help you conceive:

• Start keeping track of how often you menstruate
• Count the day you get your period as day one
• Use an over the counter ovulation predictor, follow the directions as to when to start the testing
• Write down the information, even if you think you will remember
• Do this over several months if you are under 35
• If you are over 35, and menstruate irregularly (your periods are longer than 42 days), see an infertility specialist (board certified reproductive endocrinologist)
