Getting Pregnant With One Fallopian Tube

Tubal Obstruction - Can A Blocked Fallopian Tube Stop You From Getting Pregnant?
In plain English, the simple answer would be no. But you need to know a whole lot more than this two-lettered word, so here goes: A very common cause of infertility in women is tubal obstruction which is a condition characterized by the blockage of either or both fallopian tubes. What this results in is the inability of your spouse' sperm to come in contact with your eggs. While getting pregnant after this may sound impossible, it isn't. In fact there are methods that can be employed to make becoming pregnant a possibility. This article will look at a few of these

#1 Getting Pregnant Naturally

It is possible to become pregnant without medical intervention even if you have one of your fallopian tubes blocked. Granted, it may require more effort and may be more difficult, but it is possible. What occurs is this; every month the ovaries alternate the production of the dominant egg follicle. To become pregnant, all that is required is that the ovary at end of the unblocked fallopian tube releases an egg. To be doubly certain of what is happening inside of you, you may want to consult with an endocrinologist. Additionally, you may want to consider in-vitro fertilization (IVF) as an alternative.

#2 In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

This is a medical procedure that consists of the surgical removal of your eggs after you have been stimulated to produce more than the normal quantity. Once removed, your eggs are then fertilized and then re-inserted back into your uterus bypassing the tubal obstruction. In severe cases of fallopian tube blockage, full blown surgery may be warranted.

#3 Full Surgery

In extreme cases and circumstances, full blown surgery may be required to treat your tubal obstruction. These circumstances may be due to recurrent infections or incessant severe pain. In these cases your doctor may even recommend the removal of your fallopian tubes.

Getting Pregnant With A Girl

How To Increase The Chance Of Getting Pregnant With A Girl Baby
If you would like to know how to increase the chance of getting pregnant with a girl baby, there are many steps you can take to tip the balance from 50-50 to something considerably higher. However, first off, be really careful that any advice you take has a basis in scientific fact rather than trying old wives tales which, quite frankly, are just that!

Male and female sperm has very different characteristics. Female sperm is larger and slower than its counterpart male sperm. However, it is more robust and longer lasting. It is by exploiting its strengths that you can increase the chance of getting pregnant with a girl baby.

Looking at the timing of intercourse, if you have intercourse a couple of days before ovulation occurs, then the fragile male sperm will have perished before the egg is released. This leaves the female sperm ready and waiting to fertilise the egg upon release. You should avoid having intercourse on the day of ovulation itself.

Female sperm is quite well-suited to the naturally acidic vaginal environment. This means that if you have intercourse in positions which involve the sperm having to make a journey through the vagina, rather than being deposited close to the cervix, then more female sperm will survive the journey up to the cervix, whereas a significant proportion of the male sperm will have perished. If you want to know how to increase the chance of getting pregnant with a girl baby, then positions which encourage shallower intercourse are the way to go, such as the missionary position.

Your diet can also help to sway the vaginal environment from acidic to alkaline. For getting pregnant with a girl baby, you should eat broccoli, fish and dairy products along with foods which are generally rich in calcium and magnesium.

If you would like to see tried-and-tested, all-encompassing methods containing tips for having a baby girl, there is an excellent guide which is based on scientific rather than anecdotal principles. It includes all the information you need to successfully choose your baby's gender and has been proven to be 95% accurate.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm a social worker, but before I finished college..me and my now husband got pregnant with our first child. I still lived at home with my parents...but medicaid covered me completely for pregnancy. What she needs to do is..once she goes to her first appointment, or if she has already been, she needs to get a proof of pregnacy form from her doctors office...usually its just a piece of paper that a nurse or receptionist gives you that lists your estimated due date..which is proof of pregnancy. Then she will need to take it to the Health and Human Resources department and tell them you need to be enrolled for pregnancy medicaid (they will ask for proof, or atleast they did me, for records). Once you get enrolled you should receive your card without a couple of weeks (there shouldn't be any problem being accepted)...if any test, blood work, ultrasounds, etc. have to be done before you receive your card...don't worry, medicaid is good about backing up and paying for those things). I hope this helps...Good luck and Congrats

    What are the odds of getting a girl pregnant if you dont put a condom on until right before you ejaculate?
    I would prefer not to wear a condom during sex, but I also don't want to get my girlfriend pregnant. She is on the pill, but is sortof inconsistent with it. I know wearing a condom decreases the likelihood of getting her pregnant. But I want to know how that compares to not wearing one, but just slipping one on before ejaculation.

    • ANSWER:
      well you have a better chance of getting pregnant with the pre-cum. That comes out throughout the whole intercourse. If you really want to make sure she won't get prego then you'll have to wear it the whole time :/ sorry.

    What are my chances of getting a girl pregnant?
    I'm 27 years old. I've had 17 surgeries on my leg from ages 2-17 which meant x rays every 6 mths. I was no alter boy in my younger years and condoms do break + I was with an ex for 4 1/2 years, birth control went out the window within the first year and we went at it like rabbits. Now I have a girl saying she's pregnant by me. 2 days after she told me she was pregnant she started pushing me away and finally broke up with me after about three weeks of it. I found out later she was cheating on me and into drugs while we were dating. I've had two fertility test which said I had a low sperm count and what's called High semen viscosity which causes a problem with it being able to travel the fallopian tube. It worries me because I do love children and want one of my own. If it is mine I don't want that child to think that type of behavior is o.k. I just wonder if anyone may have some info or it's gonna be a long 6 more mths!

  15. QUESTION:
    How do I keep my baby boy from getting my baby girl pregnant?
    My baby boy is a full blooded maltese and also has a pedigree. My baby girl is a shih tzu with the same back ground. We are not ready to spay or neuter them because when they are older we want to breed them with my sister's dog which is a girl maltese and boy shih tzu.

    • ANSWER:
      It's very simple: When either female is in heat, trade your female to your sister for her male! That way both males will not be driven crazy by the female's scent when she is in heat.

      It is very easy to tell when they are coming into heat. The male's behavior is a very reliable indicator! Then you just pack up your female, take her to your sister's house, and bring back her male. Or vice versa. Two weeks later they go back to having opposite sex roommates. Or maybe you and your sister can take turns hosting the females when one or both is in heat. They can be a bit drippy on the carpet and furniture. Might be nice not to have to deal with it every time.

  16. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting a girl pregnant if you already came?

But then again, there's also the pre-cumming which you can't control. So if there's no protection, there's usually going to be a high chance of pregnancy, correct? Someone please help out, quick! I thank those with answers and opinions on this matter.

    • ANSWER:
      I dont want to make this a long story..but bottom line you right..your pre cum is uncontrollable....

      and even if you came before hand..you have no assurance that al of it is gone....

  17. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting a girl pregnant with Pre-cum?
    So I penetrated my girlfriend for about 1 minute without a condom. She forgot to take her birth control the night before, and is 1 week away from her period. I'm kinda scared and was wondering how likely it is that she will get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Youre probably fine, especially if you didnt completely finish coming in her all the way and shes generally on birth control.

      One or two missed pills doesnt usually make that big of a difference. Also, theres a very low chance of pregnancy even when you do come in her, if shes already more than a few days past her ovulation peroid (usually around middle of cycle, but can vary).

      From time to time, its probably okay for you to penetrate your girlfriend for only a minute or two without a condom, even if she wasnt on birth control, as long as you dont finish coming in her all the way. Unless shes like crazy super fertile, you probably have nothing to worry about.

  19. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of getting the girl pregnant?
    I'm in High school and I just had sex with this girl yesterday and I didn't have a condom so I used the pull out method. I masturbated twice the day before. Was in a cold room. Didn't cum much when I pulled out. I know that I f***ed up but I was high and wasn't thinking. I just want an honest opinion.
    Also she just got off of her period of friday. We had sex the wednesday after.

    • ANSWER:
      Withdrawal is not that effective, maybe 70% but not reliable. Also ejaculating twice the day before, or a cold room, doesn't help at all. In the future always use a condom and have girlfriend use the pill. However the only sure way to avoid pregnancy is abstinence. For now, buy a pregnancy test at the store, they are easy and almost 100% accurate. Then if she is pregnant you will at least now.

  21. QUESTION:
    why are so many girls getting pregnant in high school?
    just in my group of my 9 best girl friends, 4 of them got pregnant. there's also a lot of random pregnant girls in my school too. most of them aren't staying with the baby daddy, and some don't even know who the baby daddy is! omg what's with teenagers these days? has anyone heard of a condom?

    • ANSWER:
      I know this is something that is not popular to say, but I am going to go ahead anyway. I think it is because these girls are scum. But let me define what I mean by scum.

      They are so interested in gratifying their own desires and dreams that they are uninterested or completely aloof to the idea that they be crushing a child's life by providing an extremely unsupportive life. The scum ethics of television, women's magazines, pop music pervade every crevice of their being and resultantly produces an individual whose personal philosophy is hollow and borderline nihilistic. This leads back to these girls needing something to fill their void with. Its really very perverted and I would go as far as to opine these girl to be full blown perverts themselves.

  22. QUESTION:
    what are the odds of getting a girl pregnant well having unprotected sex?
    what are the odds of getting my gf pregnant if we dont use a condom?

    and what are the odds with a condom?

    we always use a condom but i kinda wanna try it without 1....
    okay, you guys win ill continue to use a condom... you guys are scarring me with the odds even with a condom :S

    • ANSWER:
      ok, i'll give it to you straight. condoms are like 98% effective in general, so don't think, oh if i have sex 100 times she'll get pregnant anyways. no. you can have sex 100000(in theory of course, it can also work the other way though slim) and still she won't get pregnant, also, a big factor are STDs and STIs, those are never fun.
      now, if you don't use a condom, you can get her pregnant if you cum in her, hell, even if it's near (there). here's an example. if you came on a chair and she sat on it naked, there's a chance she could get pregnant. now, if you pull out before you come, it could be as effective as a condom. BUT it's extremely risky, what if you cum in her, even a little? what if you pull out and still cum on her? not a good thing huh? please use a condom

      ALSO!!! if you masturbate or ejaculate before you do it with her and you don't use a condom, some semen left in your hoo haa can be pushed out by pre cum and she can get pregnant

  25. QUESTION:
    Whats the best way to hit on a pregnant girl?
    I really want to be with a pregnant girl.
    What's the best way to hit on them?
    Check for a ring? Lots of women are unmarried which is so wrong so this isn't always a good indication.
    Law of averages? just keep swinging until I get one?

    Pregnant women how would you want to be hit on by a guy?

    • ANSWER:
      Personally, I've had a lot of guys hit on me just because I'm pregnant. I find the whole pregnancy fetish kind of disturbing soo yeah.
      My thoughts are, if you're going to go after me just to fulfill some weird fantasy you have, I'm not going to even give you the time of day.
      Bottom line, don't hit on a pregnant just because she's pregnant because she'll just automatically figure that you're a creep.

  35. QUESTION:
    Is it all right to ask a pregnant girl out?
    I really like this girl I've known for half a year. I decided to ask her on a date. She said she would like to go out with me, but she said I wouldn't like to go out with her because she got pregnant a few weeks ago and doesn't know how it happened. I told her I would still like to go out with her anyway. Is it okay to go on a date with a girl who is pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      It would be an indication of a true, selfless nature and a genuine caring for this girl to want to be with her knowing she may be in trouble because she's been honest with you.

      If she is pregnant and the guy who did it dumped her, then she really needs a friend. A "date" is NOT synonymous with sex. If you like her, this is your opportunity to show that you're not a shallow jerk just trying to get lucky, but someone who truly appreciates her for who she is.

Stir in the broccoli coleslaw mix, and cook until tender. Add the cabbage and chicken and toss for a minute or two. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
      In a blender, combine garbanzo beans, mayonnaise, mustard, cumin, garlic, onion powder, lemon pepper, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
      Heat tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave for easier folding. Spread each tortilla with sauce, then put a large heap of the slaw mixture on top. Wrap like you would a burrito.

  43. QUESTION:
    Should I got out with a pregnant girl?
    I started talking to this girl and she seems really nice however she's 20 years old and has a one and two year old and she is also 4 months pregnant. The father isn't around at the time and I'm a little worried that she might try to make me baby daddy if things get serious. I know that in this point in my life that is a lot of baggage that I can't handle. So should I just give up the girl or suck it up and wait to see what happens?

    • ANSWER:
      NO you shouldn't be dating a woman with this much baggage...and to be honest she shouldnt be dating either. she should be focused on taking care of herself during her pregnancy and sorting things out for her life. she sounds like a mess. being pregnant isn't what is making her a mess per se but it's the fact that she can't be alone. why does she "need" to date you when she has so much going on in her life. back away, turn around and RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!!

  44. QUESTION:
    What's the chances: getting a girl pregnant if she's on "the pill? Not familiar w/ the "time of month" either
    We had sex without using protection, and I'm almost positive I didn't release any sperm inside of her, but just in case it did happen, what is the likelyhood she gets pregnant? She is on birth control pills and takes them regularly. I don't know much about pregnancy, but what does the "time of the month" have to do with it? thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, if you "don't know much about pregnancy" then you definitely should NOT be having sex, with or without protection until you learn a whole lot more.

      KNOW THIS: ANY TIME YOU HAVE SEX, IT CAN RESULT IN PREGNANCY (as long as all the necessary biological parts are there).

      That said, the efficacy of the birth control pill generally runs around 97-98% effective IF (and that's a big IF) the girl takes it as directed, regularly and does not miss a pill. That still leaves a 2-3% chance of pregnancy, even IF taken correctly.

      As for your releasing sperm inside her, whether or not you had an orgasm does NOT answer that question. Sperm can and is released prior to orgasm routinely during sex.

      Her "time of the month" is only marginally relevant. People think a girl can't get pregnant while on her period. Not true. Although rare, it can happen. Also, trying to calculate her "fertile period" by her time of the month is playing Russian roulette at BEST.

      So, I REPEAT, THE ONLY SURE WAY TO PREVENT PREGNANCY IS TO NOT HAVE SEX!! Any other time, it is a possibility that should be thought about!!

  45. QUESTION:
    Can doing hard drugs like cocaine in the past effect a mans chance of getting a girl pregnant?
    I have a 6 month old and I am trying to get pregant again. My first child is from my ex boyfriend, and my husband and myself are trying to concieve, but he is scared that because of his hard drug use in the past its affected his sperm count. Can anyone help us out with this??? hes really upset about it all. Thanks.
    Jessica

    • ANSWER:
      Cocaine or heavy marijuana use appears to temporarily reduce the number and quality of sperm by as much as 50%. Sperm actually have receptors for certain compounds in marijuana that resemble natural substances and which may impair the sperm's ability to swim and may also inhibit their ability to penetrate the egg.
      **Note the word temporarily.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant with one tube blocked?
    I would like to know what are the chances for me to get pregnant if one of my fallopian tube is blocked and I do not go thought the surgery ?

    • ANSWER:
      Ovaries switch off when they ovulate. So every other month, an egg is being released into your open tube. When you ovulated from the open tube side, you are within the normal percentage range to get pregnant which is 20-25% chance of conceiving that month. You can get pregnant, it just may take longer.
      If you know which side is blocked, having a sonogram around cycle day 8, 9, or 10 of the ovaries will tell you if the egg is going to ovulated on the good side or not.

  2. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant with one tube success stories?
    Anyone have any? Did you/they have to go through treamtment or did it happen naturally? I found out through an HSG that my left tube is more than likely non-functioning. My right one is fine. Just looking for some hope!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Laura,

      We have the same anatomical "problem". My left tube is also blocked and, when I heard the news, my spirits fell to the pavement. Then I got pregnant as a result of my *first* IUI. So it can definitely happen. While it's a little clinical to get pregnant from your husband's sperm being injected into you via a tube, it really wasn't too bad. Luckily, the first month of Clomid and Follistim successfully stimulated my right ovary (the good side) to release 3 eggs and I got my first ever positive test 11 days later. I'm still flying high from that feeling, all these weeks later. In fact, as hard as it is to believe, I had my 20 week appt this morning and, as always, enjoyed hearing my baby girl's healthy heartbeat. I'm halfway there! So, while it can be a little bit tougher with one bum tube, it's still *totally* doable, AND doable without too much fuss! Hang in there and your miracle will happen.

      By the way, I was just thinking about you this morning so I'm glad to see your question. Hope everything else is going well.

  3. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant with one ovary?
    Will it be difficult to get pregnant with only one tube and ovary? My husband and I have started trying. I'm 21 and had a huge tumor removed and one of my tubes and ovary were completely mangled around the tumor. The remaining tube and ovary are on the same side. so if anyone might know or have experience that'd be great.

    • ANSWER:
      Birds only have one functioning ovary to begin with and they don't have any problem conceiving. It may be more difficult, but you really only need one functioning ovary to produce eggs so it's not impossible. It may mean that you don't ovulate with each cycle though, as only one ovary releases an egg during a cycle. Given your history it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor about the possibility of increased risks or problems associated with pregnancy and the type of tumor you had removed.

  4. QUESTION:
    With only one fallopian tube working - how will this affect my chances of getting pregnant?
    I've had the end of one of my fallopian tubes removed when I gave birth to my son by emergency cesarean 17 months ago.

    We have been ttc since last September without luck. Does anyone else have experience of this or know how long it might take me to get pregnant with just one tube working?

    Also I am 35 now and worrying that my fertility will have dropped anyway with age! Struggling to cope with the disappointment every month.

    • ANSWER:
      My mom had one fallopian tube when she had me, she had to have it taken out after my brother caused some damage. She was told that having the one tube would mean she would be more likely to have a girl i think it took her 6 months to conceive me. Just keep going, good luck

  5. QUESTION:
    what is the percentage of people getting pregnant with one fallopian tube filled with fluid?
    i had a hystogram done 3/2007 and it showed one tube clear and the other one partially filled with fluid but still kinda open. i was wondering if anyone had this problem and know the percentage of getting pregnant if its even possible to do so naturally

    • ANSWER:
      I also had HSG done recently and have one blocked tube and other open. I tried to TTC for 1.5 year now and no sucess. I tried to have clomid & injectables to have IUI, but IUI was cancelled, cause ovary on the unbloced side did not respond. So, most likely have to have IVF. Your situation might be different. You may still be able to get pregnant with one tube if the ovary on the open side ovulates. Most women ovulate randomly from either right or left side. But, my ovary on the blocked side is the only ovary that I keep ovulating from, my doctor cannot figure it out.You will also be at a higher risk for ectopic due to the hydrosalpinx (fluid in the tube), So you should me monitored by a RE via ultrasound to see which side your ovulating on.

  9. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant with one tube?
    Hi, can anyone help got a kid allready been trying to get pregnant again for 2years with no luck, so when to doctors, they sent me for a laparoscopy and dye test. It showed spilling on left tube and only a little bit of spilling on right, they said i could get pregnant but ever other month. What i would like to no has it happen to anyone and they got pregnant and how long did it take you, still tryin but still no luck would really like to talk to someone thats in the same boat as me, some answer would be good. Thanks x
    Lost of people have said to me there on clomid just want to no what is it, and how does it help.. thanks alot for your answers. xx
    This is to joanna, thanks a lot for you answers really help try to email bk but could not, nice to talk to someone in the same boat has me. Thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      hi i am in the same boat as you.
      i had an ovarian cyst removed from my left tube and they took some of the tube away. i had a dye test and it was the most painful thing ever, my mum heard me screaming down the corridor, lol... i had the dye going up my right but not my left and that was what caused the pain cos of the pressure on the left tube.

      i was told that i will still be able to get preggo - i am on clomid and its weird cos i always have my follies on the right side but when i asked the lady when she was scanning me if i would ovulate down the right tube she said that the egg can make its way over to the left tube? wtf.

      my mum knows loads of people that have one tube and got preggo so it is possible hon. xxxxxx

      EDIT - I JUST RANG THE HOSPITAL and she said that if you ovuate on the good side then the good tube will pick it up not the bad tube. i am happier now.

      CLOMID - it is mainly used for people that do not ovulate on their own - it tricks the brain in to releasing and egg and stimulates the egg and makes them mature so that you ovulate. with 50mg i had 1 mature follicle and on 100mg i had 4 mature follicles which matured into eggs. i had 1 in my bad side and 3 in my good side and i was told that there was a high risk of multiples, didnt get preg though. sometimes they give clomid to people that do ovulate but i dont think it helps them at all.

  10. QUESTION:
    im having trouble getting pregnant with one tube?

    • ANSWER:
      Well it is still possible, please don't lose hope. I've read many stories of women being able to have many babies with one tube. Just keep track of your periods and do it on your fertile days. You can keep track of your periods online with mymonthlycycles.com. I would strongly recommend you invest in a ovulation prediction test to see if you ovulate that month, once you get you dark line you can have sex within 12-24 hours because that is when you will ovulate. Also try to stay healthy, taking prenatal vitamins and drinking plenty of water. Don't smoke cigarettes or anything else, and you can also give your husband/boyfriend zinc and iron pills so it can help with his sperm. Good luck!

  11. QUESTION:
    what are the chance of getting pregnant with tubes tied.?
    My girlfriend had her tubes tied 10 years ago. And she freaking out now cause she think she may be. Long story short. We had intercourse unprotected about 4 weeks ago. And within 12hrs after intercourse she started her period. She's not late yet for the one that due next. But she worried she pregnant again.

  12. QUESTION:
    Is it still possible to get pregnant with one tube and go a full healthy term?
    had sponteous abortion at 8wks 1 year ago with 1 tube thinking this had happen because I have one follopian tube. Right side tube removed because of a fribroids tumors

    • ANSWER:
      Don't see why you can't.

      I had 3 children with ONLY having part of ONE ovary!

  13. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of getting pregnant with one fallopian tube?

    • ANSWER:
      "Pregnancy is possible with only one fallopian tube — as long as you have one or both ovaries, you still ovulate, and the remaining fallopian tube is healthy."

      "If you have never had difficulty getting pregnant, the normal pregnancy rate after salpingectomy is 70-85%. If you had difficulty conceiving prior to the removal of your fallopian tube the normal pregnancy rate is about 10%."

      From the looks of this your odds are still pretty good! I mean if you think about it like flipping a coin, even if you had trouble conceiving to begin with, 10% is 10/100 or 1/10. So, one out of every 10 times you are sexually active you should have a possibility of becoming pregnant. Good Luck!

  15. QUESTION:
    what are the odds of getting pregnant with only one fallopian tube?
    just had a surgery to remove ectopic pregnancy. it had ruptured my tube so doc had to remove it :( i know women have a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month, but what is the percentage with only 1 tube? thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      as far as I know the ovaries take it in turn to ovulate each month...do you only have one ovary now too?

      If there is only one ovary would it 'know' and take over the job releasing every month? I just don't know...

      I would say if you test for when you ovulate/ temps/ strips in pee or just try to have sex when ovulation is due you have as good chance as anyone.... you have to work with what you have!!!

  16. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant with one block tube and one open tube?
    well as i have been posting questions i have come to find out that i have a a block tube and my other tube is open is been almost two years trying to get pregant. we don't have the money to do IVF because my doc said that would go around the problem ,but its not for shure thing that it will work on the first try or the second then i will be out of alot money and debt. should we keep trying the natural way i just turn 34 so iam worried as well because my clock is ticking to get pregant. my husband is fine in his deparment its just me. any one have a ny luck getting pregant with one tube? if you did how long did it take?

    • ANSWER:
      I suggest you invest in a Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor in order to make the best of the months that you will be ovulating from your unblocked side.

      I had a tube removed years ago and never became pregnant again (but I also had other fertility issues). However, I woman I used to work with had to have her only tube tied after she kept accidentally becoming pregnant with one tube.

      Try the monitor for a few months first. Then, if that does not work, speak with your doctor about doing an IUI. An IUI is very affordable and with ultrasound, they can determine if you will be ovulating from your unblocked side before the insemination.

      Good luck to you - I wish you the best!

  17. QUESTION:
    can i still get pregnant with one tube working?
    the doctors told me that i have one tube working and one that doesn't. can we still get pregnant. getting married in this then 4 months

    • ANSWER:
      You absolutely can, it's just that your chances have been cut in half. Usually one ovary or the other releases the egg for the month. Since you just have one, you may not ovulate on a regular basis. (You'll still get a period, but it won't be as long or heavy.)

  18. QUESTION:
    how to get pregnant with one tube?
    someone please help e with some advise. i only have one tube and we realy want a baby soon i feel like im getting too old. what can i do?

  19. QUESTION:
    What are my odds of getting pregnant with only one tube and one ovary?
    In December 2009 I had a miscarriage. Then in April 2010 I had a tubal pregnancy that I was unaware of until it ruptured. They had to completely remove the tube and the ovary, then we decided with all the problems I had it would be best to just go ahead and get the other tube tied. My husband and I would love to have a child together and have been thinking about getting the tubal ligation reversed. What are my chances of becoming pregnant with only one tube and one ovary?
    Oh. I'm sorry. I may have not left enough information. My healthy tube was not removed. My tube actually ruptured. According to the doctor, it pretty much exploded, therefore he had to removed the ruptured tube completely and the ovary on the same side as well because they had stuck together. My healthy tube is the one that was tied. Thank you for the information. :)

    • ANSWER:
      You should had never gotten your healthy tube removed, just because you had an ectopic and had that tube removed doesn't mean it was over. I had a tubal ligation and then seven years later a tubal reversal
      Four months later I got pregnant and found out I had an ectopic on the right side. They took my tube and ovary out, but left my left tube alone. I had three children with only one tube. My sister lost her tube in ovary to a ruptured cyst and she also had two children, just because one tubes is gone doesn't mean you can't get pregnant with the other one, It only takes one tube. Now for the tubal reversal, yes you can get your one tube reversed, but the chances are going to be lower because you could have another ectopic on that side(scar tissue that some times happen's when reconnecting your tube) and once an ectopic on that side means another ectopic could occur. Then you could be just fine. You could go ahead and have a good pregnancy. . This would be something you and the doctor could discuss. Go to face book and look up Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal of NC and read about the women who are trying to get their tubes reversed so they could have another chance of being a mommy. Ask them their opinion and discuss with them what your chances are. They are a great group pf friends.

  21. QUESTION:
    Anyone got pregnant with one tube naturally and how long did it take?

    • ANSWER:
      My cousin had problems with her tubes. She had one removed and the other was so kinked nothing could get through. She ended up having twin girls from IVF. She then gave birth to her son 1 day before her twins' first birthday. The doctor said the weight of the twins must have unkinked her tube. So it took her about 3 months of not even trying and is now my inspiration for birth control! Good luck!

  22. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get pregnant with only one tube?
    I had one of my tubes removed due to an ectopic pregnancy. The other tube was blocked, but I had surgery to correct it, and now it is open. The doctor said that the one tube that I have looked great, and to just try and have a baby naturally. I am 30 and have no children at all. It has been 8 months since my surgery, and I haven't fallen pregnant yet. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this, and how long did it take to get pregnant. There is nothing wrong with my husband. He has been tested also.

  23. QUESTION:
    Over 40, Overweight, blocked fallopian tube - getting pregnant?
    I have an adult daughter from a previous marriage. My dh and I have been together 8 years and I'm now 40. I am obese, although active and healthy otherwise (no high blood pressure, no diabetes, etc.). About 4 months ago a 'tumor' was discovered on one fallopian tube - turns out to just be water (I think hydrosalpinx). My dh and I have been having 'unprotected' sex for 3 year now, not pregnant yet. My dh does not want to go to any extreme measures to become pregnant, so no fertility specialists. I would love to have one (or two) children with my dh, we have a perfect life for sharing with children. So, other than the regular exercise and steady weight loss I'm working on, is there anything else I could/should be doing? Should I be giving up? Is the risk to the baby's health too great?
    We are looking at becoming foster parents, perhaps we'll end up growing our family that way.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

  27. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of me getting pregnant with one blocked tube?
    I had an HSG done last week and the results showed that my right fallopian tube appears somewhat blocked however, this could be obscured by spillage from the left tube. My REF MD said not to worry about it and that if it is blocked I can still get pregnant since the left one is fine but that it would just take a little longer. She will start me on Metmorfin and also on Clomid on my next cycle since I have problems with ovulation.
    I have been on Clomid before for 4 months straight but it didn't work, this time my REF will monitor it since she didn't last time. Has anyone been through something similar and got pregnant right after? I've been trying for 2 years now and I'm hoping I can finally get pregnant soon. Please tell me your stories.

    • ANSWER:
      Why don't they flush your tube? My friend had that done and both times she got pregnant the month after. I had other problems, ovulation only on one side, due to a cyst. Low progesterone, and not able to keep a pregnancy past the first trimester. After finding the solutions, I now have a 7 month old son.

      Make sure you are really confident with your doctor. I spend over a year with a women that told me I would never be able to have my own. She never knew what was really happening, she kept doing the same thing each cycle...Clomid and progesterone. Both were at the wrong time and the wrong form. (oral progesterone instead of suppository) Be well taken care of, and don't despair.

      All the best

  28. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of getting pregnant after removing one tube?
    I just had an ectopic pregnancy and had my baby removed along with my tube on Thursday 5/19/11. I wanted to know what are my chances of getting pregnant after this? Is it cut in half because of my lack of a tube? Is it completely the same since I have 2 healthy ovaries? What can I expect afterwards? I really want my own child and me and my boyfriend have been trying for a year, so this kind of put me in a bad depression. I just want to know what to do, when can I try again, how soon, you know just any information uplifting or depressing that goes along with my situation. I want to know everything.

    My Story
    I knew something was wrong from the beginning I had started bleeding about 31/2 weeks into pregnancy (from last period date) and was bleeding 3 entire weeks before I could finally get my 1st ultrasound (btw for everyone who has bleeding while pregnant, not all blood is bad only if it is heavy but I would get it checked out immediately because mine started out as light brown spotting and into my 3rd week turned more reddish and the baby was still alive, but was in my tube). I had a few minor cramps not bad at all but sometimes was left breathless if I exerted myself too much. I also passed a clot about as big as my thumb, which wasn't the baby, so not all blood clots are babies (there was even some brownish tissue looking stuff but still wasn't the baby). I'm trying to tell my story so that maybe you will learn from my experience. If you suspect anything at all go to the doctors IMMEDIATELY. I told everyone I needed to go to the doctor and they told me I should wait and everything was alright. I went to my doctor and told her I was worried and they told me it was alright and I should be patient. Go to the emergency room if you have to don't just sit there cause it could be life threatening to your baby and even you! And even if it is too early to hear the heartbeat, request an ultrasound anyway because if I had maybe gotten mine even 2 weeks earlier I would still have 2 tubes... no baby but I'd still be whole. Do anything you can to ease your mind. I know medicaid takes a while to come through or other insurances, but medicaid will pay your bills 3 months prior to you being approved.
    Stay healthy, be happy and especially STRESS FREE!!! I wish you all the best of luck. Please pray for me and I will keep all of you in my prayers!

  29. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant with one fallopian tube?

  30. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant with one blocked tube?
    I just had laparoscopy and the doctor found that my right tube is blocked with scar tissue. The HSG test did not clean the tube out (sometimes those tests do) because the scarring is too dense. He said if he tried to remove the scar tissue he would damage my fallopion tube so he had to leave it alone. Can I still get pregnant naturally with my left tube open or is IVF my only option? Also will Clomid work for me? I know if you give someone clomid that has blocked tubes the clomid makes you ovulate but thenthe egg gets stuck in the blocked tube. But maybe it would work in my left tube maybe? We don't want to have to do IVF if we don't have to. Has anyone had success getting pregnant with one tube functioning only?

    • ANSWER:
      your overies take turns releasing eggs (thought they dont exactly alternate) so as long as your overy is functioning on your good side you can still get pregnant. it may however take longer becuase you have to wait until that side is releasing, but it is still possible. Clomid should help to ensure you are ovulating, but it wont necessairly ensure the correct overy releases the egg. I would try for 6 months to a year and if you have no success then I would start considering IVF. you doctor however should have explained this all to you. perhaps consider seeing a specialist. best of luck to you.

  31. QUESTION:
    Did anyone get pregnant with endo, one tube or herbs?
    I have endometriosis. I have been trying YEARS to have a baby. I have had 2 surgeries to remove endo & adhesion's. I have also known for years that I have a blocked tube. I was sad because I was under the impression with my last surgery that the bad tube would be removed & it wasn't. I have heard that in some people their chances increase when the block tube gets removed. Did any of you get pregnant with one tube? I am thinking about getting my bad tube removed. If anything it causes a lot of pain when I am on my period, so it would be beneficial.

    Also, did any of you ladies take herbs to help achieve pregnancy? I know a lady that took herbs after years of trying & she got preggo. What about any of you?? I am thinking about looking into herbs.

    Thanks for sharing any baby advice with me.

    PLEASE share with me some good stories. I need a cheer up & some hope. However, I know a lady that had sever endo with 5 surgeries & got preggo after 10 years, so anything is possible.
    Thanks.
    EDIT - typo - severe...oops

    • ANSWER:
      I just discovered I have endo as well. I am an herbalist but was not too sure what route to go with this one. I discovered that castor oil packs help my symptoms greatly. It's said to improve the immune system in the pelvic area making it easier for the body to clear out the endo. Diet helps a lot. Go dairy free for sure and Gluten free if you can manage. It will be worth it in the end. Many herbs can help. The best thing I can reccomend you is these diet changes and going to www.cureendometriosis.com. I found tons of answers there and my symptoms are changing for the better. If you decide to go herbal, stick with it. It takes dedication and persistence but it's so worth it in the end. You CAN be cured of this disease. It IS possible.

  36. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get pregnant with only one fallopian tube?
    I am 33 years old, and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 11 years. One year ago, I finally had a surgery to unblock my tubes. They could only unblock one. My left tube is still blocked, but my doctor told me that the right one looked great, and was totally clear from the surgery. This was one year ago, and I have not fallen pregnant yet. I am getting discouraged, and I am not getting any younger. Has anyone else ever experienced this, and how long did it take to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      i have the same problem were i have one tube open and one tube block. the first pregnancy it took me three years to get pregnant and that ended in a miscarriage at 7 weeks then i got pregnant again 8 months later and that ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks aim trying again aim now 37 and now i am hoping it will happened again because now my doctors knows why i keep have miscarriages i have no problem getting pregnant it's just sustaining the pregnancy.

  37. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had an ectopic pregnancy and still gotten pregnant with one tube?
    If so, how long does it take? I had an ectopic pregnancy in January and lost my left fallopian tube due to being 5 weeks pregnant and my tube bursting. I am scared to death that this has lessened my chances of getting pregnant. We have high hopes since I had an IUD when I had the ectopic.

    Everything thing has been removed (IUD and left tube) and I healed nicely. My doctor says my ovaries are very healthy and I should have no trouble, but I wanna help that little tube out as much as possible. I am 28 years old and just found out I have the early stages of Arthritis in my lower back and a herniated disc. I am working to loose weight and I have physical therapy 2x a week to strengthen my core, helping to prepare to be in great baby making shape. I have started taking Prenatal vitamins, Super B Complex, B12, B6, Folic Acid for vitamin intake. I have sworn off all water that is not bottled if possible and I have a Brita filter at home. I never liked tab water to begin with anyway. I try to eat healthy but we are on a budget right now and I can only do with what I have. My husband and I are very active sexually and I was just curious as to all the things I can do to help this tube out. He is totally on board helping me with this. We desperately want a child. Right now stress is the worse factor considering this issue is driving me insane and I have to work and manage a household of three to boot. My husband and I take care of his 17 year old brother as guardians and its a lot to get used being newlyweds.

  38. QUESTION:
    can one get pregnant with one fallopian tube and what r the measures to get pregnant?
    can one get pregnant with one fallopian tube and what r the measures to get pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      yes one can get pregnant with one fallopian tube. i only have one tube and ive been pregnant 3 times. 2 ended in miscarriage but im currently 30 w 1 day along. all i did was "do it" every single day and take prenatals and in one month of trying i was pregnant. in some cases it can be harder but nothing to stress over bc it is possible. anyways the egg is only in one or the other fallopian tube so every cycle its 50/50 chance.

  39. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant with your tube tied and your boyfriend has had a vasectomy?
    Just some history, when I was 19 I had ovarian cancer and they removed an overy and tube. I have already had three kids. After the third one I got my remaing tube tied. Fast forward a few years. I am dating this great guy. He has had a vasectomy. I am almost a month late for my period. Is there any possible way I could be pregnat? I thought we were protected from getting pregnat if we were both fixed. Happend to anyone else out there

    • ANSWER:
      It hasn't happened to me, but there is a possibility, however slim it might be. It's hard to believe that with your tube tied it could happen, but something might not have gotten done perfectly and it's allowed eggs to escape. With vasectomies, it takes a while for a guy to "work it out of their systems". There is still a sperm count for a while after. I'd check with your doctor.

  40. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant if one fallopian tube is blocked and the other tube is not blocked by taking clomid?
    I have a 28 day menstrual cycle and I took clomid on the fifth day of my period for for five days, then I waited 5 days before I had intercourse with my husband. He definitely doesn't have a sperm count issues. Our family doctor has confirmed that.

    • ANSWER:
      You can get pregnant on Clomid or even naturally with 1 functioning tube. However, you need to be monitored to make sure the ovary on that side is the one maturing follicles and releasing them. Because any eggs released on the ovary with the blocked tube will never meet up with the sperm. Ovaries should switch off each month (so left side one month and right side next month) on natural cycles. But being that you are on Clomid you may have mature follicles on both ovaries but you won't know without monitoring. It could take you a little longer to conceive for these reasons.

      Best wishes!!!!

    Is there a chance for a woman with one blocked fallopian tube to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:

  42. QUESTION:
    how many people got pregnant with 1 blocked tube?
    I just found out by a HSG that my left tube is blocked but I still have a full functioning right one. Just wondering if you have gotten pregnant with 1 tube and how long it took!

    • ANSWER:
      I had a pregnancy in the tube, which ended in emergency surgery to remove my left tube, exactly a year later to the month of my surgery I was pregnant, and I had a healthy little boy 9 months later, so there is a chance to get pregnant with a blocked tube.

  43. QUESTION:
    Anyone here get pregnant with one tube? Or has anyone you know?
    Get pregnant with one tube
    What did you do besides the obvious, to help you conceive? I'm drinking red raspberry leaf tea, nettle tea, dong quai tea and green tea. The Dong Quai tea I drink every other day. I also exercise and take prenatal vitamins along with additional calcium supplements. It's been 3 years since my ectopic with tube removal. I know I need to go to an obgyn but have a feeling that I will conceive real soon. I just need to see if there are women out there like myself with one tube who have been through this and conceived. Thank you for your answers.

    • ANSWER:
      My mom got pregnant with my little sister with only one tube.

      I know green tea can help with CM, but its also full of caffeine and that can hinder your chances of conceiving...try decaffeinated green tea. I drank Traditional Medicinals Organic Pregnancy Tea, which has most of the teas you're drinking all in one, and in optimum quantities to work together. Its wonderful stuff.

      One thing that really helped me and dh conceive was using preseed lubricant. Its available online and at places like CVS. Its a fertility friendly lubricant and balances the pH in your cervix through internal application, which helps the sperm survive better and longer. I've heard of it working for lots of people.

      Good luck!

  44. QUESTION:
    Is there hope for me getting pregnant?
    Back 2001, I had an ectopic pregnancy and my tube had to be removed, which left me with one. Should I give hope, that i'll get pregnant with one tube? I know it's going to be harder to get pregnant, with one tube.

    • ANSWER:
      I got pregnant with only one ovary and with part of my cervix missing, with God, all things are possible.

  45. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant with one tube that's half blocked after having ectopic pregnancy 2yrs ago?

    • ANSWER:
      You absolutely can!!!

      In the future, if you feel symptoms of pregnancy, go to the doctor as soon as possible to confirm hat it's not in the tubes again, so you don't loose the other one. You are at higher risk for an ectopic since you've already had one.

Getting pregnant is more like being blessed with a baby; this isn't a joke or an extravagant act. Another procedure leads us to use the pills, they actually generate that potential in your body i.e. the eggs and pushes your inner self to pregnancy. AF is quite famous these days and many doctors prefer pills for a better out come. These are some of the tricks to getting pregnant.

Getting Pregnant While On Period

Pregnancy During Menstruation Is Real - How to Fall Pregnant while on Periods
Men will never understand that pregnancy is no joke and so women will always keep asking if one can get pregnant on your period, no matter how much time passes and how technologically and scientifically advanced this field of science gets. Can you get pregnant on your period? Can pregnancy occur during menstruation? Can you get pregnant on last day of your period? and Can you get pregnant right after your period? are questions that will never lack answers nor readers. This article explores the question can you get pregnant when you are on your period.

I know everyone wants a straight forward answer to the question 'can you get pregnant on your period' but unfortunately there is none. Everyone you ask will tell you just one thing, it is likely but it is extremely rare. You see, all women are different and so are their cycles. Some have short periods while some have long ones, some have absolutely no problems with theirs while others suffer excruciating pain and other problems during theirs and most importantly, some ovulate just before, some during and some after. All of this makes it a very complicated probabilistic study of whether a particular woman can get pregnant during her menstruation and if yes what are the probabilities. As most of us women (at least the 21st century ones) want to choose when to have a baby, such an answer seems like a bad joke that God has played on us, but let us understand why this is so first. Know more on the odds of getting pregnant.

Ovulation not Menstruation
It is ovulation not menstruation that is the problem here. Ovulation is said to occur when the ovaries release one egg into the fallopian tube. If this egg is fertilized immediately (within 24 hours), the result is a pregnancy. If it is not, the unfertilized egg and the wall lining of the uterus shed in a monthly discharge called menstruation or periods. Pregnancy is thus not related to the menstruation but is actually contingent on the timing of ovulation. A woman may fall pregnant during her period not because she is the freak that underwent a rare conception but just because her ovulation cycle does not correspond with her menstruation. She has either released her egg during the first few days of her period (when she thought she was safe but was obviously not) or just after her periods ended (because she usually has a very short menstrual discharge). It may also be that she has confused some other bleeding and spotting with her periods and she got pregnant because it was not menstruation at all. Even this is rare as there is hardly a woman out there who doesn't recognize the difference between her period and spotting, but it does happen occasionally to those that routinely have a smaller discharge. A recap on the above paragraph, menstruation and ovulation are two different stages in a woman's monthly cycle and complications of pregnancy during periods can occur in cases where both of them do not coincide on the timing part. Know more on spotting in early pregnancy and spotting during early pregnancy.

Pregnancy During Menstruation
I reiterate again, that pregnancy during menstruation is very rare, but one can fall pregnant while on periods, especially in the following cases.
A woman can fall pregnant right after menstruation if her menstruation cycle is too short and she ovulates after it ends. Even with really long menstrual cycles, there is a risk of pregnancy during periods, because the woman could still be bleeding long after her actual menstruation has passed and her actual ovulation is taking place. The culprit may not be the woman if indeed she falls pregnant while menstruating. A male's sperm can survive within a woman's body for quite a few days. Even after your periods end, the sperm could be alive and kicking and just waiting to impregnate an egg when your ovulation starts. If a woman has periods that end just a few days before her ovulation she may be in trouble, for the darn sperms can live up to 6 to 7 days. Last but not the least, if vaginal bleeding is confused with periods, the woman can get pregnant even during menstruation. Vaginal bleeding sometimes occurs as spotting when a woman ovulates. If this spotting is misinterpreted as said above, there is a high chance of the woman getting pregnant.
Another very common question asked by a lot of woman is can you be pregnant and still have a period. The answer to this one is fairly easy and it is an emphatic no. Once the woman's body starts producing the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone and pregnancy is established, the menstrual cycle and thus, bleeding must stop completely. But many times, woman confuse bleeding and spotting after pregnancy to be menstruation when it is not. Sometimes bleeding may occur during the implantation of a fertilized egg onto the uterus walls, also known as implantation bleeding, but this is most definitely not menstruation.

I hope I have sufficiently addressed the query, can you get pregnant on your period, and also the other queries raised in the introduction of the article. I also hope that no woman ever gets pregnant without her knowledge, choice and preparedness. She deserves that, we all do.

Getting Pregnant Positions
Getting Pregnant Positions

There are no real evidences that any particular sexual position is more likely to lead to conception. However, there are studies that suggest that getting pregnant positions that deposit the sperm closest to the cervix will more likely aid in conception.

The missionary position is said to be a more promising position than other positions. it allows for the deepest penetration, getting the sperm closer to the cervix. You can also try having "doggy style" or rear entry, either lying down or kneeling. This position can also help to deposit sperm close to the cervix and aid in conception. This is position is used for women who have tilted uterus.

Having an orgasm also has no evidence that it aids in conception. It is believed that a woman who climaxes after her partner ejaculates is more likely to get pregnant. It is possible that uterine contractions help sperm move toward the eggs.

Lying in bed and remaining horizontal for about 15 minutes after intercourse is said to likely increase the chance of being pregnant. You can try putting a pillow under your hips and elevate them to allow more sperm contact. Logically, remaining horizontal for 15 minutes or so after intercourse, allows the semen to remain in the vagina. However, evidence for this one is also lacking. Aside from this, if you have a urinary tract infection, it is advised that you go to the bathroom immediately.
Having the proper timing when to have sex however, is a crucial factor. To have conception more likely, try to have sex a day or two before your ovulation and then again on the day of your ovulation.

If you've been trying to conceive for a year or more without success as well as if you are more than 35 years old and your periods are irregular, the best move to take is to see a specialist. It is likely that you are taking drugs that hinder you from having a conception or you have physical limitations. Seeking an advice for the treatments of this would be beneficial.

  1. QUESTION:
    Are My Platy's Pregnant? - Video Link?
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L4KiKUqM3BQ
    Hiya, is my platy pregnant. I have a big community tank with lots of fish including four platies. About two weeks ago i noticed that the two female platies in the video getting larger and on the sunset Hi Fin platy i can see what i think is a gravid spot because she is a lighter translucent colour where as on the other i can't quite see one but this is because she isn't a see through colour. Today i moved them into there own 10 Litre tank in case they are pregnant so that if they do give birth to fry they won't all be eaten.

    Do you think they look pregnant and if they are pregnant how long do you think i have left before i should expect Fry.

    Thanks Kirsty x

    • ANSWER:
      I bought two female platties 3 weeks ago and one of them gave birth yestarday, the last contact with males was at the pet store so they have a 3 week pregnancy.

      Before my plattie gave birth it looked much fatter than yours do, yours a likely in the early stages of pregnancy, I would move them back into the main tank for at least another week where they will be more comfortable.

      When they are about to give birth they will be ridiculously fat, the stomach will be very rounded and hanfg much lower than in the video.

      In two weeks move them into the other tank. Here are some links tosee pregnant platties.

      This is what the platy will look like before giving birth:

Otherwise, read through it, see what its compatible with, read the most recent comments to see if the teen pregnancy is working well. You will need an account, takes five minutes though. Plus, modthesims will give you everything.

      http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15488.0.html <<< this link should lead you to another mod that enables teen pregnancy, but again you will need to sign up to view it/download.

      I hope either of the two work for you!

      If this is just for video making purposes, you can probably work around not having a mod, have your teen be the main feature/grow her up to a young adult or have a young adult sim that looks just like her/get her pregnant/video the morning sickness and the belly expanding/the hospital scene/use the teen version of her holding and interacting with the baby etc. That's worst case scenario, I'm sure the video will be good regardless.

      Good luck! :) )

  3. QUESTION:
    Is my dwarf hamster pregnant? (video provided)?
    There was a male in the cage with her.
    When I got the two, I thought they were both female,
    until one night, I caught a late night hamster show.
    She has become noticeably fat, and eats a lot more than she used to.
    She ALWAYS has food in her cheeks now (as you can see in the video), and leaves the food bowl clean. I separated the two, because she's gotten fat, and he's gotten mean, and also because if she is pregnant, I don't want her pregnant again right after she gives birth.

    Help please?

    http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t46/Hollydoll317/?action=view&current=HPIM1520.flv

    It was about 2 days ago that I caught them, but I'm positive that it wasn't the first time.
    They usually make a lot of squealing noises at night, but this time I went to look because it woke me up. Another reason I separated the two, is because she was beginning to develop a bald spot on the top part of her neck where he would hold onto her when they. . uhm. Her abdomen got quite a bit larger (as shown in the video) almost over night. I've been feeding her cheese, and peanut butter, and today I was planning on giving her egg whites, just to be safe. What do you think?
    Here's another video.
    It's hard to catch her awake lately, but when she is, she's really fast. It's hard to get a good shot.
    :/

    • ANSWER:
      I would say that your hamster probably is pregnant. We had hamsters before, always in seperate cages until my sister thought it would be funny to put them together. Anyways, our hamster was pregnant and looked exactly like that. Hamsters only have about a 14-20 day pregnancy cycle so you should definitely know soon. How long ago was it that you caught the little 'show'? If it's been longer than that, then maybe your little hamster has just put on some weight :)

  4. QUESTION:
    Is My Mouse Pregnant? Video & Pictures! (10 Pts Best Answer!)?
    I put her in a cage by herself to be safe (She was in a cage with a male and has been mating with him). She's gained weight, pulled her tp roll over to section off a corner of her cage and has began to collect the paper towel pieces I put in her cage and she's putting them all in her sectioned off corner. Is she nesting to get ready to give birth? Or is this what all mice do whether they're pregnant or not?

    Here's The Video (You may have to copy and paste it into your browser)

    Thanks for your help.
    The pregnancy was planned I'm breeding her on purpose. This is just my first time with a pregnant mouse and I don't know how to tell. She had a pregnancy plug but then it was gone the next day. I read online that it falls out in about 12 or so hours.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you can see the bulges on the side of her stomach. She is most definitely pregnant. Fat doesn't bulge like that.

    Is this platy pregnant? Video inc. 10 Points best answer!?
    One of my platy's has just had babies and because im always looking at the tank i think this platy might be aswell,she just seems a bit bigger than normal, she is still swimming round fine, a bit shy sometimes got to admit but not off her food yet...

    What do you think??

    10 points Thanks a lot!

    URL:
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJWCGgItuE4

    The video is not to good its on my phone sorry, its the orange female, watch to the end for a bit closer view...

    • ANSWER:
      From the video, I wouldn't like to guess, however the Platy that has just had babies is pregnant again if there is a male in the tank, so the odds are she most definitely is.

      Live bearing fish are at the bottom of the food chain and in order for the species to survive they are always reproducing. One batch pops out and the next lot start growing. If they have a male in the same tank they are always pregnant, it's just a matter of how near to birth she is and as you have just had a delivery, base your judgement on the female that has just given birth to the timescale involved for this one.

  10. QUESTION:
    Does anyone use the Walk Away the Pounds video while pregnant?
    I bought it today so I could walk indoors since it's starting to get hot outside. I thought it would be healthy for the baby and I and help me from gaining more then I need to. What do you think or how has it been working for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Walk Away the Pounds is great during pregnancy because it is all low impact. If you have passed your first trimester, talk to your doctor about what heart rates are appropriate as they may change for pregnancy. You might also find that as you get larger, you may have to limit or eliminate some of the kicks because you are a tad unbalanced.

      Also consider Denise Austin's Pregnancy video as an alternative and prevent boredom with the same routine.

      Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, you can do those routines up until you give birth.

    Pregnant PLaty? - Video Link?
    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L4KiKUqM3BQ
    Hiya, is my platy pregnant. I have a big community tank with lots of fish including four platies. About two weeks ago i noticed that the two female platies in the video getting larger and on the sunset Hi Fin platy i can see what i think is a gravid spot because she is a lighter translucent colour where as on the other i can't quite see one but this is because she isn't a see through colour. Today i moved them into there own 10 Litre tank in case they are pregnant so that if they do give birth to fry they won't all be eaten.

    Do you think they look pregnant and if they are pregnant how long do you think i have left before i should expect Fry.

    Thanks Kirsty x
    Hi, sorry the video quality isn'y very good but there is deffinatly two females in there. Also over the last month they have been in with one other female and two males in the community tank so have had plenty of chances to get pregnant!!!!!
    Kieran P - I'm not dum i have had platy's for years, i know how to tell the difference from males and females!

    • ANSWER:
      They do look rather round! (from what i can see) Its hard to tell first time round but they can give birth on a monthly basis. I would say if they have been noticeably pregnant for about 2 weeks they will probably pop within the next week or so! Tey will seem aggitated and dart around when about to have them and settle in the corner to actually give birth.The darting around will start again until the next is being born and so on.

    • ANSWER:
      congrats, you a hamster-grandma

      P.S

      You should keep the mother and father separated for at least one month.
      Hamster mothers eat their babies mainly when the babies are ill or injured and the mother know they won't be able to survive. They don't do this because of hate, just because of caution.

      and make sure to give her as much space as needed so she won't eat as many.

      this cheat does other things too play with it a bit before turning it off. you can make everyone on your property your friend. badge juicer will give your sims gold talent badges. give yourself cell phones or mp3 players.

    • ANSWER:
      Probably, no one would really care about something like that. They only care about drunk, high, naked, or anything to that degree in pictures. They don't care if you cuss in the comments of pictures or anything. They would be really paranoid if they did that.

    How do you get your hamster pregnant in the video game Petz: Hamsterz Life 2 for the DS?
    I have two partnered hamsters and they play all the time and get along great in the game! Whenever they're in the same cage they always knock each other down, giving me stars. (which is the good kind) And I leave them in their FOREVER and whenever I bring them out and go to the shop to ask the clerk if she's pregnant he says something else. Like, say I just tried. So I exit and go to the grocery store, and all the guy does is talk about other stuff because SHE'S NOT PREGNANT! This Petz game is so irritating! Could someone who's had babies on the game PLEASE give me a step-by-step guide on how to get a hamster baby! Help me!

    • ANSWER:
      ok I know I've asked this same question, but I found an answer searching around.

      first: the hamster has to be over 21 days old, and has become an adult
      second: once the hamster is an adult establish the love connection by pressing the heart with the two hamsters on the top left hand corner.
      third: They say their is no way to tell if the hamster is pregnant or not, and when the baby comes it just comes.

  40. QUESTION:
    Should companies fire women for getting pregnant?
    Watch this video by John Stossel. The woman who is the main focus of the video says yes. Companies can fire women for getting pregnant.

    http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7544471

    • ANSWER:
      I've known quite a few examples of pregnant women getting fired, but the boss always says it's due to wrong work ethics or lack of respect for him etc to bypass the law. From the point of view of the women, it's wrong, because giving birth is a natural process that happens to most females. For the boss, it means a loss in manpower when she takes maternity leave, and having to pay 2 people (the pregnant lady and her replacement) for the same job. So it really depends which one you are.

    How to get teen sims pregnant?
    I saw a video of a pregnant teen sim have a baby on the sims 2 but it didn't say how so can someone tell me?

    • ANSWER:
      You need the Inteenimater (not Insimenator as has been suggested). You can find it at www.simbology.com. You need to get the version for your newest expansion pack in terms of release order. It has not been updated for Apartment Life yet, so if you have AL you will need to wait for it to be updated.

      Make sure you read all the instructions very carefully - it's a big mod and it's very important that you read all the documentation that comes with it. The default settings might not be how you like to play the game.

    btw im asking this after i saw a show on mtv called 16 and pregnant.

    http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=en-AU&brand=ninemsn&vid=82743e40-0d54-4dda-b855-1b0703477634

    btw i think she should think of the dad us guys have a right to know as much and the girls mother in the link below should smarten up and act like a adult and not a *****.

    btw i want a baby im a boy and love my gf im 19 n she 17 if she was pregnant and told me i would be happy. but if we broke up and didn't tell me she was, i would sue her to look after the baby and stop it from getting adopted. whats your view on this?
    BTW me n my gf havnt had sex yet thank you
    ** new Question. Also what do you think of the mothers view on the girls x bf, do u think its right to tell her girl not to tell him she is preggo
    btw to snorkeli... u can sue to have the kid if she wasnt goin to tell him and he finds out. and the adoption cant go threw without the fathers says he agree's duh im 19 i think i know
    i never knew how many girls under 16 came on here
    i dotn think she should stop goin on with life ethier she should be her self until its not safe to do so

    • ANSWER:
      Of course I would tell the father! Its his child too and if he wants to be apart of the childs life then he should be. Just because I dont like the father doesnt mean my child should have to go without. Unless he was like abusive or something, then there is no reason that I shouldnt tell him hes going to have a baby. If he doesnt want to be in the childs life, thats fine, but he has a right to know and make his own decisions. Just because the baby is in my belly doesnt mean I own it - it took the both of us to create it.

  4. QUESTION:
    Just wondering if any women over the age of 37 have had luck getting pregnant quickly?
    I'm 38 and have only been trying for one month to conceive but I am anxious because of my age. I'm hoping to hear about other women around my age who conceived rather quickly. I know I have to be patient, but I'm just so excited! Also, how did your pregnancies progress? Thank you!!

    • ANSWER:
      I just found out I'm pregnant on 3-12. Just turned 39 on 3-9.

      I wasn't even trying. Had periods this year on 1/19 and 2/16. So I did find out before I was due. It was weird because people were asking me If i was pregnant cause I "looked" different and had a glow. I did have really sore boobs too.

      So yeah, it happened real quick and I was told at 19 I would never have kids. This will be my 2nd. My first was born in my 20's.

      Good luck

  5. QUESTION:
    Is there a link between getting pregnant quickly and...?
    lifestyle?
    For you personally, did you eat healthily, were slim, exercise etc as your usual lifestyle?

    How long did it take for you to conceive?
    Just wondering why some women get pregnant quickly and other women try for months or years.
    I've been trying to conceive for about 7 cycles now.
    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      They try to say that there is a link between getting pregnant and your lifestyle, though I'm not sold completely on the idea. I honestly think it really just depends on the man and woman. Women who don't have menstruation problems and difficulties will get pregnant quicker. Women who have regular periods and are actively trying, will conceive quicker than those who don't.

      With my first daughter, I got pregnant 8 months after a miscarriage and 4 months of actively trying. This time we weren't actively trying, but I got pregnant after being off of birth control pills for 4 months.

      Edit:

      I do want to say that it is possible for women to be pregnant and miscarry in the first weeks and not even know it because they start what they think is a normal period, but is just the body getting rid of the embryo. So, the healthier your lifestyle, the less likely you will be to miscarry once you become pregnant. For example, not drinking, not doing drugs, not drinking excessive amounts of caffeine....

  6. QUESTION:
    My tubes tied 6 years ago 41 yrs old chances of untying tubes getting pregnant quickly?

    • ANSWER:
      The speed at which you get pregnant isn't really determined by getting your tubes untied. There are many factors that will contribute to it, including your age. The big risk with getting this reversed is ectopic pregnancy due to scar tissue. This is a subject I would discuss with your doctor in depth before trying to concieve. Your doc may recomend that you try another method such as IVF.

      Good luck!

  7. QUESTION:
    Anyone have any good tips on how to get pregnant quickly?
    Hi,
    me and my fiance have been trying for a baby for about three months but i am getting to excited and want things to happen quicker.
    Does anyone have any top tips on getng pregnant quickly?
    Thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      Heres a list of tips that im aware of that will be very helpful in your journey to conception but be aware these help and increase your chances but its not a garantee wanting a baby too much will stop you getting pregnant full stop so relax and enjoy!!!!

      Start taking folic acid now. You reduce your chances of giving birth to a baby with a neural tube defect (for example, anencephaly or spina bifida) by 50% to 70% if you start taking at least 0.4 mg of folic acid each day two to three months before you start trying to conceive.

      Try to keep sex fun when you're trying to conceive. Use rooms other than the bedroom or schedule your babymaking rendezvous for an odd time of day. The rationale? You won't be able to keep up the babymaking pace for very long if sex starts feeling like a chore.

      Don't hop up and run to the bathroom right after you make love. Lying down for at least a few minutes (some fertility experts say five minutes) after intercourse increases the odds that the sperm will be able to keep their date with the awaiting egg and that you'll win at baby roulette.

      Make love often during your fertile period (the five days leading up to ovulation). If you've got the stamina to make love at least every 48 hours, you will ensure that there's a fresh shipment of sperm waiting in the fallopian tube at any given time. Of course, you can get too much of a good thing if your partner has a low sperm count, so if you're aware of a pre-existing fertility problem, you'll want to talk this issue over with your fertility specialist.
      Keep in mind that babymaking is a numbers game. Even if you do everything "right," you still have only a 25% to 30% chance of conceiving in any given cycle.

      Are you a coffee drinker? Time to give it up or switch to decaf! Caffeine is thought to restrict the growth of a developing baby by constricting blood vessels and reducing blood flow to the uterus. What's more, a few studies have indicated that excessive consumption of caffeine (that is, more than three cups of drip coffee per day) may contribute to fertility problems. The jury is still out on this last point, however.

      Are you or your partner regularly exposed to hazardous substances in the workplace? You may need to consider a job change or job modification before you start your family. Certain substances can affect both the quality of sperm and the development of the embryo.

      Have you had your preconception checkup yet? Set up an appointment with your doctor to review your medical history and to talk about your plans to start trying to conceive.
      Are you currently taking any prescription or over-the-counter drugs? Be sure to ask your doctor if it's safe for you to continue taking them once you start trying to conceive.

      If you aren't already doing so, start keeping a menstrual calendar. Note the date when your period starts, the number of days it lasts, and anything else your doctor might want to know about. This information could prove helpful if you experience problems in conceiving. It can also prove invaluable in pinpointing the date of conception -- and consequently your due date.

      Try to book the last appointment of the day for your preconception checkup. That's when your doctor or midwife is most likely to be able to take the time to answer your questions and address your concerns without feeling rushed to go on to the next patient.

      Make your vaginal environment as sperm-friendly as possible. Avoid vaginal sprays and scented tampons (which can cause a pH imbalance in your vagina); artificial lubricants, vegetable oils, and glycerin (because they can kill off sperm); saliva (because saliva can also kill sperm); and douching (because it alters the normal acidity of the vagina; can cause vaginal infections and/or pelvic inflammatory disease; and may wash away the cervical mucus that is needed to transport the sperm).

      If you're monitoring your cervical mucus in an attempt to predict your most fertile days, do your checks before you shower, bathe, or swim. These activities can all affect the quantity and quality of your cervical mucus.

  8. QUESTION:
    What Are My Odds Of Getting Pregnant On The 1st Try?
    How can/what can I do to increase my chances of getting pregnant quickly or on the 1st try? How can I know if Im even able to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      The odds of any healthy, young couple in any given month for getting pregnant are around 20-25%. All you can do is have sex and keep yourself healthy. Know your fertile days, maybe get some ovulation tests so you know when you ovulate and have sex on those days. Don't stress about it. But not everybdoy gets pregnant the first try. It took my husband and I 5 months to get pregnant. Some women can take years to get pregnant. They say if you don't get pregnant within a year to see a doctor to test for any fertility issues.. Until then just have fun trying.

  9. QUESTION:
    How can I improve my chances of getting pregnant?
    My husband is coming home in a couple of months from Iraq for his leave of 18 days. We would like to get pregnant while he is home so he can experience the birth and the first year of his childs life when he returns home from this deployment and before he leaves for his next deployment. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can improve our chances of getting pregnant quickly? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Here are some things you should try:

      -First, know when you are ovulation. Most women ovulate about 2 weeks after their period starts (count starting with the first day of your period). If you want to be sure, I recommend buying a ClearBlue fertility monitor. It took me one month to get pregnant using this. You can get one off of Ebay brand new for cheaper than at a drugstore, just a tip. I do recommend putting out the money to purchase it, it will tell a couple of days before you ovulate so that you start trying. You want to have sex the week leading up to ovulation (at least every other day) and the day of ovulation of course.

      -Second, I also recommend PreSeed, it is a natural lubricant that helps with sperm travel. I loved this stuff, it's great. A lot of lubricants kill most of the sperm so that your chances of conceiving are lower. You can also buy this on Ebay, or you can order it directly from their website (preseed.com).

      -Third, after you baby dance, put a pillow under your bottom and lay in bed for at least 30 minutes before getting up. I layed there all night sometimes because I wanted to maximize my chances...but some people wouldn't recommend it because of the chance of getting a UTI.

      -Just relax, eat healthy, and know that it will happen!!

      If you have any more questions please let me know!

      Good luck

  10. QUESTION:
    After getting off the pill does it take a certain timeframe before becoming pregnant?
    I have been using birth control for about 9 years now and have recently stopped taking it about 1 month now. I was due to get my period 1 week ago. I don't feel any signs of me being pregnant. My system could just be different now, since I've stopped taking the pill. I was just wondering if I am not pregant now, if there is a certain time period I have to wait since I have been off the pill in order to get pregnant? I am in my late 20's, if that makes a difference. I am just curious if being on the pill for the amount of time I was on it will effect me getting pregnant quickly or if I will have to wait a little while before it is out of my system. Thank you for any advice.

    • ANSWER:
      It can take your body up to a year to get regular again. When you were on the pill it was like clockwork when your period would come because you don't ovulate it's a totally different kind of cycle.
      I got off the pill a year before we knew we want to TTC. I'm glad I did, I only got my period every 6 weeks for 6 months and then for the last 6 months I never got it at all so I had to go and get a bunch of test done at my OB office. They all came back ok I just have cysts on my ovaries. So they put me on Provera to jump start a period and Clomid to make me ovulate. I now get my period every 28 days on my own. If you notice in the next couple of months you are still very irregular then go see your dr. but they will probably tell you to wait a year and then see how your body is working. make sure you keep a chart of your cycles.

  11. QUESTION:
    What's the % of getting pregnant every month?
    Me and my boyfriend are trying for a baby. My lifestyle is pretty good with eating habits, weight, sleep, etc etc. I don't smoke nor drink either .

    We've only started trying this month, we just came off condoms i wasn't on the pill so i don't need to wait for it to get out my system but i was wondering what the percentage of getting pregnant is each month, i know roughly when i ovulate and we try to have sex everyday to every second.

    where to get tips to getting pregnant naturally and quickly?
    We have been married for 12 years. We want to have a baby the next year.
    How and where to get tips to getting pregnant naturally and quickly?

    • ANSWER:
      Getting pregnant sounds really easy, but it is very complicated in fact.
      You'd better turn to doctors for help or read some books to get more techniques or tips.

      http://www.pregnancytutor.com/pregnant.html
      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

    I have just come off my depo injection after being on it for around 18 months. I experienced horrible mood swings and no periods, and no sex drive at all. I my injection was due for renewal on 7th May, but I missed it because we decided to try for our 3rd baby. I have been off it a month nearly, and my moods have returned to normal, back to my normal happy self with a high sex drive (yay!) but no sign of periods yet. I know its still really early, but I was wondering/hoping, that as the rest of me has come back to 'normal' quickly (moods, sex drive etc), that my fertility might too? Does it happen this way, or could we be waiting months/years b4 even falling pregnant? I've read all the horror stories and am really concerned, so some nice happy stories.experiences would be great, if theres any out there? Also I am producing colostrum/milk recently, is this normal for coming off the injection?

  18. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant quickly?
    this might be a stupid question, but, i'll ask anyways. I'm getting off the pill in March and we're going to start trying for our first baby. My husband is trying to loose a little weight and we're both trying to get fitter. We're also eating healthier and we dont smoke or drink. I'm also taking pregnancy multivitamins. I just wanted to know if theres anyway of increasing our chances of falling pregnant sooner once im off the pill? Also, last time i went off it, i finished it when my period was about to start, and my natural cycle just continued around the same time as when i was on the pill. I'm 24 and he's 30. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Good Luck to you. It cant be determined. Every individual is different. There is no set rules.

      But you time your baby dance by either an Ovulation kit or Charting Basal Body Temperature to determine your fertility window. Do not over exercise or stress yourself with either excess physical activity or mentaly.

      25% of the women get pregnant within a month of TTC, 60% within 6 months and 95% within a year if the women is under 35 years of age. you have a great chance. :)

  19. QUESTION:
    For the women who are pregnant or already have kids-any tips on how to get pregnant quickly?
    I am 24years old and in the process of trying to conceive with my husband, I stopped birth controls Oct 2009 and I am so ready to start a family.For the women who have kids, do you really have to lay down for 20-30 minutes with your hips elevated? Also, any tips on how to get pregnant quickly.

    • ANSWER:
      It is a good idea to stay layed down for 20-30 minutes, but keeping your hips elevated for that long isn't necessary.

      Both times I have been pregnant have been when me and my partner have been very healthy! The first time we were both exercising and eating well on a regular basis and this time around I was training for the Paris marathon (so it scuppered my plans, but I was very happy about it) as was he. So the best advice I can give you is to treat your body like a temple and it should happen.

      Also, if you aren't already, take folic acid every day.

  20. QUESTION:
    How can i get pregnant quickly?
    How can i get pregnant naturally quickly?

    • ANSWER:
      sex 4ish times a week help for sperm to be at a good level. i went to extreme measures to plan my baby and aftr constant research and studies i tried over one night and waited to see if it worked... which it did :)

      - you ovulate 14 days before day one of monthly
      - female sperm are slower but last longer, male sperm are faster but die more quickly as the acids they swim in to the tubes kill them well faster (thats why females are better hehe)
      - i tried for a girl so had sex 2 days before i ovulated (2-3 is good) about 3 times that day haha.
      - i notice with the mums i know whom had planned boys tried on the day of of just after the ovulatin day.
      - i cant rememeber everything else but email me if you want to know more i know abit too much for my friends liking so its all bottled up.

    Did you get pregnant quickly after having a preemie?
    I gave birth to my son 4 months ago at 32weeks and now I'm shocked to find out that I'm pregnant again! Definitely not planned and needless to say my doctor isn't too happy about it. Anyone else have a similar experience?

    • ANSWER:
      I know lots of people who accidentally got pregnant after just having a baby. Obviously you are high risk after having a premature baby so I'm sure that's why your doctors not happy. You may be put on bed rest towards the end and that will be very hard with a young baby to take care of. It'll work out though.

    Thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      Start charting your feritility signs, cervical mucus, basil body temp, cervical height. That way you can pin point the fertile days...there is really only a 3 to 4 day window each cycle.

      This is a free site to learn and get tips! I LOVE IT!
      Look for fertile mucus when you wipe after you use the bathroom It looks like eggwhite and feels very slippery! Keep having sex everyday of fertile mucus and the day after it dries up(which happens pretty fast)
      After you have sex stay laying down for a few mins...maybe even elevate your hips to help his troopers along:) You can also try Intead menstral cups...they are in the sanitary napkins section. You slip it in right after sex to hold the sperm closer to the cervex.
      Start taking prenatal vitamins now and stop smoking and any heavy drinking or recreational drugs.
      Good luck and wishing sticky baby dust your way:)

  27. QUESTION:
    Besides getting pregnant again quickly what are the risks of having sex before 6 weeks after giving birth?

    • ANSWER:
      1) Pain--your body isn't ready. Your body needs time to heal itself from the inside out, even if you didn't have a c-section.

      2) Getting pregnat in the first 6 weeks increases your chances of having a miscarriage. You NEED to give yourself time to heal and I can't stress that enough.

      3) You're going to be stressed enough. Sex is great, but conserve that energy for your new baby.

  32. QUESTION:
    What tablets can help you get pregnant quickly?
    Im already taking folic acid and Concive plus Lubricant, and theres alot of tablets that say helps but unsure, as i only bought Concieve plus on a wim really, as its been over a year now even though doctors say its all fine with both myself and partner

    • ANSWER:
      Folic acid is not to help you conceive - it is to prevent spinal problems in baby if you do conceive.

      There is only a 20% chance of conceiving each month for two people of average fertility. You can not rush this. 90% of couples will conceive in their first year of trying but if you aren't succeeding then there are some things to consider before going back to your doctor.

      Alcohol and smoking can effect your chances of conceiving and this goes for your husband too. Smoking will effect the quality of his sperm and may make conception harder. Weight also plays a role. Good health increases your chance of conceiving. A woman who is overweight will find it harder to conceive. Consider your diet and try to maintain a healthy weight.

      If you currently tick all the boxes above then you might want to consider your sex life. Some people believe that they should only have baby making sex at particular times of the month. My research suggested that this was misguided. The quality of the sperm isn't as good if its "saved up". Regular sex increases your chance of conception preferable every 2 to 3 days but especially important around the time of ovulation (invest in ovulation kits to help you predict your most fertile times). Importantly though stress can prevent you from conceiving so if sex becomes baby making sex it can actually cause the problem. Remember its supposed to be fun not a chore - this is why a lot of couple who have problems conceiving miraculously conceive on holiday when the pressure is off. Make sure your sex life is about each other rather than just baby making!

      Good luck! I hope you get pregnant soon and wish you a boring 9 month pregnancy :)

  33. QUESTION:
    how can i get my girlfriend pregnant quickly?
    are there any ways i can speed up the conception process? me and my girlfriend are trying for a baby and we would like to speed it up as much as possible...how?

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you calculate her ovulation dates. The best way is to have sex every other day make sure its enjoyable though because her body needs to be relaxed and not stressed about getting pregnant so try to make it fun and romantic. Good Luck and God Bless.

  34. QUESTION:
    how do i stop myself from getting pregnant again so quickly?
    i am 38 weeks 5 days pregnant & after trying for a year & a half we concived yay finely! but now i want to wait at least another year or two before getting pregnant again but is it true once you have one baby you can get pregnant again easier or will i still have trouble getting pregnant again? can birth control ruin your chances of ovulating i heard that if your on it too long & get off that you may have trouble getting pregnant. i need advice! i know nothing about birth control or anything like that!

    • ANSWER:
      Birth control will not harm your future chances of having a child. Birth control simulates the natural hormones that control your cycle and simply tries to prevent ovulation and makes the lining inhospitable should ovulation occur. Some women find they have improved fertility shortly after getting off of birth control (my daughter happened cycle #2 post getting off BC and I have normally poor fertility)

      I wanted to add that you should talk to your doctor about your concerns and the right medication for future fertility. The minipill and low versions of popular BC pills might be the way to go.

  37. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I found out this past Tuesday, at 10 wk pg, that the baby had died. I went through a D&C on Friday and am wondering how many people, who've shared similar experiences, have gone on to have healthy/viable pregnancies afterwards.

    If you have, how long did you wait until you started trying again and how long did it take you to concieve?

    We're hoping to start trying again in January and hope that we're able to get pregnant quickly.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm sorry for your loss. I haven't had one, but my mother had 3 still borns total. Her first child was my oldest sister. Perfectly healthy baby girl. The next 2 stillborns came in with in 5 years after that. Then me on the 6th year, perfectly healthy. Then she had another stillborn right after me, and then my baby sister 2 years after me, also perfectly healthy.

      So as you can see, she was pregnant a lot. She got 3 healthy baby girls in the process of all of it.

      She wasn't even really trying to get pregnant.... It just kept happening... possibly because the brand of condoms they used were very very cheap, that or she was poking holes in them lol. I do remember them using them though.. they weren't individually wrapped, which I've not seen anyone do that since. I was pretty little when I was snooping around though.

      Anyways I hope that you do keep trying, and hang in there. It will happen for you. My sisters and I are living proof.

    Has anyone out there with irregular periods got pregnant quickly HELP?
    My husband and I have been having unprotected sex for about a year and a half still no pregnancy!!! We are both still young and he has a child from a previous marriage. I'm scared that I can't get pregnant or something. I do have irregular periods that sometimes skip a month. I never know when my periods going to start so its hard to tell when I'm ovulating. Please if anyone has any suggestions, advice, or experience with this matter I would love to hear it. Serious answers only!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      My husband and I tried everything!!! (ovulation kits,taking temps, OBGYN Specialist,charting a calendar,Weird remedies) YOU NAME AND WE PROBABLY TRIED it over the course of THREE years!!! Thats how long it took me to get pregnant!! I was told I would NEVER get pregnant***My friend gave me this advice and I got pregnant in 3 months after trying it the way she told me!! *Below is what she told me*

      Remember you ovulate 14-16 days before you start your period.Since your period is different days of the month it better to just pay attention to your body!:) The time to have sex to get pregnant is when you are very wet,slippery,and stretchy down there*******,alot of women's right or left side will hurt when the egg is released.******* You need to have sex atleast two or three times the week of ovulation to get preganant.*****VERY IMPORTANT! Stay laying down 30-45 minutes after sex DO NOT GET UP AT ALL.WAIT TO PEE!!! *****It takes 30-45 minutes for the sperm to reach the egg to fertilize it. Remember theres millions of sperm so if some leaks out its ok!! )Hope this helps!!:) Good luck****

      It took me three years of trying and I got this advice from a friend and I got pregnant in Three months after I took her advice:)
      All it really is is just paying attention to your body! :) Once you get that down you might as well go out and start buying maternity clothes and baby items!!! :)

  41. QUESTION:
    I'm 31 And Want To Have A Baby..Any Advice On How I Can Get Pregnant Quickly?
    Hi there,

    I'm 31 and my hubby is 38. We are going to try and have our first child. I have a 28 day cycle and it's pretty regular. I just started my period on October 13 and I have been told to make sure we have sex on day 12 of my cycle and every other day afterwards. What else can I do to try and make sure this happens quickly? It's funny, we have waited for years for the "right time" and now that we've decided to have a baby I can't wait to get pregnant! I don't want to psyche myself up too much (I think that could screw things up). But I do want to have the best possible chance at conceiving quickly. I'd appreciate any advice. Especially from those who concieved their first child in their early 30's. A lot of my friends had kids years ago and I feel old because I'm just starting now. I hope 31 isn't too old to start having babies..

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

      also:
      There's a lubricant called Pre-seed or Pro-seed or something that's supposed to help a lot. I've heard many pregnant women swear by it. And, of course, sex when you're ovulating, though sex outside of those times couldn't hurt either. Other than that, it's just up to your body and his sperm. You can try tracking ovulation, but I wouldn't count that as an easy way to do it.

  42. QUESTION:
    how do i get pregnant quickly?
    any advice on how to get pregnant quickly for me and my husband?

    • ANSWER:
      Fertility Awareness Method
      In very simple terms, use this.

      It involves tracking your basal body temperature, cervical mucus and cervical position on a daily basis to determine your fertile days, it would also tell you if you have any fertility problems long before a load of invasive testing by your doctor could because it will show you exactly why you cannot get pregnant by showing where the problems in your cycles are.
      It can be used to determine when you are pregnant so saving on home pregnancy tests.
      It can even be used to help determine the sex of your child by coupling it with the Shettles method to up your chances of conceiving a boy or a girl. Here's how in basic terms: sperm carrying Y chromosome (boys) swim fast but do not live long, where as sperm carrying X chromosome (girls) are slower but last longer - closer to ovulation the more likely it is to have a boy as they are first to reach egg, further from ovulation cervical mucus will keep the sperm alive long enough for X sperm to reach egg, where as Y sperm will die.
      Not only all that but also has life-long advantages of being used next time you wish to conceive (if you choose to again), use as birth control and use for general reproductive & vaginal health, putting your sexual health well into your own hands.

      You are only fertile for 30% of your cycle, you will normally only produce one egg per cycle that lives for up to 48 hours, sperm will only live up to 5 days within fertile quality cervical mucus (only a few hours without cervical mucus as acidic environment in the vagina will kill sperm - mucus also needed to help sperm reach the egg).
      So if you have sex at the wrong time of your cycle it is not going to achieve anything, apart from perhaps get you and your partner very frustrated and confused.

      I would highly recommend getting a book called 'Taking Charge Of Your Fertility' by Toni Weschler, it will set you back around £12 from Amazon or can be picked up at most book stores, and it very much worth what you pay for it.

      A lot of areas also have Fertility Awareness Method instructors that would be able to help you learn if need be, these are normally within the NHS and most do not charge, but may ask for a donation from yourself. These trainers can be found by doing a search through FertilityUK: http://www.fertilityuk.org

      Sites on Fertility Awareness Method and Natural Family Planning [similar to FAM, however when used for birth control FAM uses barrier methods, FAM does not];
      http://www.tcoyf.com – FAM.
      http://www.28-days.com – FAM.
      http://www.justisse.ca – Holistic and FAM methods.
      http://www.sisterzeus.com – Herbs and FAM methods.

      On gender selection (if interested);
      http://www.in-gender.com – Gender selection.

      Other similar options would be to use CycleBeads that are beads that show your fertile and none fertile days, Boots also has an ovulation kit which consists of a little case with charts and a basal body thermometer for £12 that would be similar to FAM, NFP and other ovulation methods but without as much attention to detail – which you do not really need if planning on getting pregnant. You could also go the more hi-tech route by using computers such as Babycomp or Persona that will both tell you when you are ovulating – I do believe you can also get ovulation testing kits, however these are not as accurate at determining when you are fertile.

      For more information;
      http://www.cyclebeads.com – CycleBeads.
      http://www.ladycomp.com – Ladycomp and Babycomp.

      Another idea which would be simpler and cheaper, although not as effective, would be to use basic tracking methods and charting these in a calendar or online, there are a few web sites around, most will work on a method similar to the Rhythm Method where it determines fertile days in accordance to your cycle and previous cycles – i.e. your last period was on day x, your next period will be on day y, so your ovulation will be on day z. This is similar to saying that you ovulate on day 14 of your cycle, although in a regular typical cycle this would be correct (ovulation around day 12-16) if you have irregular cycles or simply your cycle is not set to this pattern this can do little for you and end up with you having sex on the wrong days, not falling pregnant and believing there is a fertility problem where there is none.

      Basic charting sites;
      http://www.fertilityfriend.com – Fertility Friend.
      http://www.mymonthlycycles.com – My Monthly Cycles.
      http://www.cyclespage.com – Cycles Page.

      Then of course a small note is that general health will help, if you are sleep deprived then this can very well effect your chances of pregnancy, as will other factors like sleep, as your body is designed to try to avoid your getting pregnant and carrying to full-term when it is not able to keep you or the child healthy.

      Improved diet and an up in vitamins and other dietary needs such as folic acid will help a lot, most people do not realise but your menstrual cycle has a big effect on your body and your general health can have a huge effect on your cycles, if you are in poor health this may prevent pregnancy, in fact a change in diet can fully regulate many women's cycles when they may have had problems for years.

      There are also many other natural aids such as herbal or holistic methods that will help you too.

      It is best to consult an expert when it comes to herbs, however you might want to consider more common herbal treatments that carry low risk such as Black Cohosh (oestrogenic stimulates ovaries), Evening Primrose Oil (regulates cycles), Vitex (regulate ovulation), Don Qui (regulates cycles & strengthens uterus), Red Clover (rich in coumestans and isoflavones – likened to progesterone).
      Don Qui I believe is a bad idea if you have heart conditions, but all others I do believe are safe - things like Evening Primrose Oil are very safe and very common in use for menstrual cycle regulation that will help assist conception, you can actually usually pick this up at supermarkets or pharmacies.
      If you go to a health store that sells herbal treatments they will be able to tell you how best to take them, probably in tea form a few times a day, and be able to tell you if there are any negative effects to taking them.

      Of course in the end if none of these things work it would mean a trip to see your doctor to find out why, it is either a serious problem with your own reproductive system or a problem with your partner - again, if you use FAM you will know before reaching your doctor what the problem is and so how best to go about dealing with the problem, this will allow you a little more control over your treatment if it is needed.

      Within a few months of using FAM you should either be pregnant or know why you are not pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      none of that stuff really matters. It's all about timing and the quality of the sperm/egg. It can take a year for even normal healthy couples to conceive. All you can do is have sex every other day until ovulation and that's about it. My first took 10 months of trying like crazy and my second took one time. It's all about chance and your luck.

Getting Pregnant Ovulation

Pregnancy During Menstruation Is Real - How to Fall Pregnant while on Periods
Men will never understand that pregnancy is no joke and so women will always keep asking if one can get pregnant on your period, no matter how much time passes and how technologically and scientifically advanced this field of science gets. Can you get pregnant on your period? Can pregnancy occur during menstruation? Can you get pregnant on last day of your period? and Can you get pregnant right after your period? are questions that will never lack answers nor readers. This article explores the question can you get pregnant when you are on your period.

I know everyone wants a straight forward answer to the question 'can you get pregnant on your period' but unfortunately there is none. Everyone you ask will tell you just one thing, it is likely but it is extremely rare. You see, all women are different and so are their cycles. Some have short periods while some have long ones, some have absolutely no problems with theirs while others suffer excruciating pain and other problems during theirs and most importantly, some ovulate just before, some during and some after. All of this makes it a very complicated probabilistic study of whether a particular woman can get pregnant during her menstruation and if yes what are the probabilities. As most of us women (at least the 21st century ones) want to choose when to have a baby, such an answer seems like a bad joke that God has played on us, but let us understand why this is so first. Know more on the odds of getting pregnant.

Ovulation not Menstruation
It is ovulation not menstruation that is the problem here. Ovulation is said to occur when the ovaries release one egg into the fallopian tube. If this egg is fertilized immediately (within 24 hours), the result is a pregnancy. If it is not, the unfertilized egg and the wall lining of the uterus shed in a monthly discharge called menstruation or periods. Pregnancy is thus not related to the menstruation but is actually contingent on the timing of ovulation. A woman may fall pregnant during her period not because she is the freak that underwent a rare conception but just because her ovulation cycle does not correspond with her menstruation. She has either released her egg during the first few days of her period (when she thought she was safe but was obviously not) or just after her periods ended (because she usually has a very short menstrual discharge). It may also be that she has confused some other bleeding and spotting with her periods and she got pregnant because it was not menstruation at all. Even this is rare as there is hardly a woman out there who doesn't recognize the difference between her period and spotting, but it does happen occasionally to those that routinely have a smaller discharge. A recap on the above paragraph, menstruation and ovulation are two different stages in a woman's monthly cycle and complications of pregnancy during periods can occur in cases where both of them do not coincide on the timing part. Know more on spotting in early pregnancy and spotting during early pregnancy.

Pregnancy During Menstruation
I reiterate again, that pregnancy during menstruation is very rare, but one can fall pregnant while on periods, especially in the following cases.
A woman can fall pregnant right after menstruation if her menstruation cycle is too short and she ovulates after it ends. Even with really long menstrual cycles, there is a risk of pregnancy during periods, because the woman could still be bleeding long after her actual menstruation has passed and her actual ovulation is taking place. The culprit may not be the woman if indeed she falls pregnant while menstruating. A male's sperm can survive within a woman's body for quite a few days. Even after your periods end, the sperm could be alive and kicking and just waiting to impregnate an egg when your ovulation starts. If a woman has periods that end just a few days before her ovulation she may be in trouble, for the darn sperms can live up to 6 to 7 days. Last but not the least, if vaginal bleeding is confused with periods, the woman can get pregnant even during menstruation. Vaginal bleeding sometimes occurs as spotting when a woman ovulates. If this spotting is misinterpreted as said above, there is a high chance of the woman getting pregnant.
Another very common question asked by a lot of woman is can you be pregnant and still have a period. The answer to this one is fairly easy and it is an emphatic no. Once the woman's body starts producing the hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone and pregnancy is established, the menstrual cycle and thus, bleeding must stop completely. But many times, woman confuse bleeding and spotting after pregnancy to be menstruation when it is not. Sometimes bleeding may occur during the implantation of a fertilized egg onto the uterus walls, also known as implantation bleeding, but this is most definitely not menstruation.

I hope I have sufficiently addressed the query, can you get pregnant on your period, and also the other queries raised in the introduction of the article. I also hope that no woman ever gets pregnant without her knowledge, choice and preparedness. She deserves that, we all do.

Getting Pregnant The Natural Way

Natural Herbal Remedies For Blocked Fallopian Tubes
For many years, herbal remedies for blocked fallopian tubes have been used in Chinese medicine. More recently though, they have made an impact within the Western world, with many alternative practitioners recommending them as a solution to either unexplained fertility or in cases where conventional surgery and medicine has failed to find a solution.

Natural remedies for blocked fallopian tubes do not usually consist of one just one form of treatment but the approach tends to be multifaceted. The following remedies will usually form part of the treatment.

<b>Herbal Tampons</b>

These are made by soaking standard, unperfumed tampons in a herbal infusion which has been carefully selected to kill off any bacteria or yeast within the reproductive organs and to reduce inflammation within the fallopian tubes. In addition, the herbs used will help to loosen up scar tissue and adhesions. These are best worn at night, giving the infusion the maximum chance to work its way up through the vagina and into the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
<b>Herbal Douche</b>

This is usually a blend of herbs made to effectively "wash" the vagina and internal pelvic organs of any debris which has been loosened up after using the herbal tampons. In addition, the herbs will help to kill off any remaining infections and restore the natural healthy balance within the vagina.

<b>Herbal Capsules</b>

These are usually taken orally and the mix of herbs are supportive of the action of the herbal tampons. In addition, they may also contain enzymes which will help to break down adhesions and scar tissue in the reproductive organs.

<b>Regular Detoxing</b>

Detoxing is an important element of herbal remedies for blocked fallopian tubes. It is widely believed that build-ups of undesirable toxins and poisons in the major organs such as the colon, kidneys and liver can contribute to infertility by causing imbalances of hormones. Thorough detoxing can help to remove these toxins thus helping to pave the way for a successful pregnancy.

Although many people believe that when "herbal remedies" are spoken about, this simply means taking capsule. However, to be effective, alternative practitioners recognize that it is vital to treat the whole body to be effective. For more information, please visit Herbal Remedies For Blocked fallopian Tubes

Getting Pregnant Over 50

Getting Pregnant Naturally - Home Remedies For Getting Pregnant
Pregnancy has been one of the most elusive, complicated, and varying topics throughout history. We have come a long way since delivering children out in the pasture, however; there are certain things that doctors just simply can not prove. Let's look at a few very helpful tips for getting pregnant naturally, holistically, and avoid ever going to the doctor's office again for fertility treatments. There are certain programs out there; ancient holistical remedies that have been held captive for all these years: remaining among a subculture, not to be shared with the world. Well, thank goodness this has started to change.

Approximately three years ago, I purchased a revolutionary conception method... It absolutely blew my mind. I had been trying to conceive for fifteen years. You can only imagine the distasteful IVF treatments, nutrition plans, supplements, various drugs, headaches, and most importantly, my time... I refuse to let the same thing happen to you! Let me share with you some of the fundamentals of the program that granted me two baby boys within two years at the age of 41.

I have ovarian cysts and an underactive luteal phase; to speak in leyman's terminology, this stunts my fertility significantly. However, there are several daily activities that decrease fertility in both men and women. So please, get your partner or significant other to join in and work together; the results will absolutely amaze you, trust me! There are 3 fundamental principles that everyone can follow to increase their chance of getting pregnant by over 50%:

1. Living a Healthy Lifestyle

There is no substitute to a healthy overall lifestyle when trying to conceive a child when you're having difficulty. This means every minute of every day, we must be looking for alternative ways to reduce stress in our lives. This means physical stress, mental stress, and stressful relationships. A healthy diet is often overlooked when trying to increase one's fertility. It is not proven, however, research is being calculated this very moment from some of the top Medical Researchers around the world, about various cultural remedies for infertility. This will be touched on later, lets first look at how we can eliminate these various stresses in our lives:

Physical Stress & Mental Stress : I lump these into the same categories because in all lines of life, these types of stresses are often correlated and deriven from the same or similar settings. They come from our everyday environments. The environments that we must watch are those at work, social, and personal. Sometimes the stress incurred at work is very hard on your sex-drive. Not only that, it can also have a negative influence on your eating habits, and bring on depression; all of which are inhibitors to a successful pregnancy. Be sure to make a conscious effort to create positive and healthy environments in all aspects of your life; reject those that try to bring you down.

This can sometimes be quite difficult because let's face it; we don't all have the ideal employer, friends, family, education requirements or financial situation to provide for these healthy environments. Trust me, whatever is causing you that sort of pain, it is not worth sticking around. There are plenty of opportunities out there; other than bartending or waitressing: that are both satisfying, relaxing, and provide sufficient renumeration to provide for a family if both parties are actively working full-time. Research your local classifieds; there are plenty of great online job posting websites both regional, provincial or state-wide, and even worldwide. Don't ever cut yourself short, always strive to be happy: otherwise, why are you living?

2. Find Your Best Days To Get Pregnant:

There are several methods of testing for that perfect time of ovulation; the time where all the stars align: the time to make babies! Research has identified several ways to track your best days to get pregnant. It is recommended they are used in coalition with one another, however, results have been seen using only one of these techniques. The most common way to track best conception dates is through tracking your ovulation. This is when The mature egg is discarded into the uterus; this is followed by a rise in the Basal Body temperature and certain hormones necessary for higher fertility levels.

Typically, in a 28-day cycle, the "best day" will fall halfway at fourteen days. It is simple math really, for those with a varied amount of days in their cycle, simply divide the days by two and allow for a day or two; time to make babies. This is however, the least accurate method and would work much better in combination with other theories. It is right when that egg is released from the uterus that the chances for getting pregnant are at a peak; this is short-lived, however.

Essentially, the ovum egg is only at its prime for a mere twelve hours; so, now you can see why it is very important to be precise with these calculations. This particular day is the best day to get pregnant. Let's talk about another method of distinguishing your best day to get pregnant. Changes in cervical mucus may be one of the best determinants of fertility levels. During menstruation, the production of this mucus, deriven from the cervix of course, is in absolute abundance.

Once passed the menstruation cycle, women have often described the feeling to be "dry". Usually, the cervical mucus is thick and cloudy. However, once the middle of the cycle arives, it becomes slippery, stretchy, and clear; the description and texture is undoubtedly that of an egg white. The latter secretion will typically arrive a day before the menstrual cycle and signifies that you are indefinitely at your most extreme fertility levels.

It is important to verify the mucus yourself to enable you to spot the difference on your own. This can be done by first wiping the vaginal area prior to urination. Be sure your hand are sanitized and proceed to place your fingers in the opening of the vagina, extracting the cervical mucus and observing its consistency and texture. Note the consistency, color and elasticity of the substance. If it is stretchy, clear, and holds together when you spread your fingers, it is time to make those babies! This texture and abundance in mucus is a natural rise in estrogen and is used to combat any harmful infection so the sperm are more likely to implant on the egg.

Another way to answer this topic of 'Are You Fertile?' is by tracking the "Basal Body Temperature". BBT is our 'baseline' temperature. Even the slightest increase in this temperature, and this could be your sign of fertility. BBT is typically much lower at the beginning of the cycle. On ovulation day, this temperature increases and will remain this way until the end of ovulation if no pregnancy occurs. However, this temperature will remain slightly elevated throughout pregnancy.

Our body's temperature is quite simple to track, however, there are a few precautions that must be taken to acquire accurate readings; You can start by taking the reading before getting out of bed, before any activity. This should be done with the utmost care; taking a quick sip of water will clearly alter your results. Take accurate and consistent results for a month or two; it doesn't take much: Maybe thirty seconds at the beginning of the day. And, I can promise you, this is a great way to measure fertility.

Everyone is different; the key is to track your menstrual cycle, determine your ovulation dates, and track cervical mucus and BBT readings. Another key is to be persistent, precise, and disciplined about whatever regime you choose when trying to conceive. So please ladies, live a happy and healthy live filled with lots of love.

3. Be Persistent, Be Proactive :

Read self-development books. Getting into a positive and successful frame of mind has more power than people to day will ever fathom. Psychological and Bio-Mechanical Studies have illustrated the power of thought and creation of the mind on our personal outcomes. There are several holistic, cultural, and extremely farfetched and discourage remedies to getting pregnant naturally; these remedies are strongly discouraged by the Medical Profession. I don't want to discount the treatments given by the doctors, because they are scientifically proven to improve your fertility levels. I have friends who are doctors, and I respect their intellect, and the time, effort, dedication, and drive they have to be in their profession. They work; let's face it: I'm just saying, Pregnancy Miracle worked for me and I have faith that it will change your life as it has changed mine.

You might need to seek help from a specialist. You may need to check yourself to make sure your tubes are not blocked that's what was wrong with me. I had to have them blown to unblock them as i had scar tissue on the Fallopian tubes. Any time a couple fails to get pregnant after trying for 6 to 12 months it is always good to seek help.
You should also use an ovulation predictor kit to know for sure when you are ovulating. Many women do not get pregnant just because they wrongly time when they are ovulating.

      Funny thing I heard was acupuncture.

Any tips from pregnant ladies or those with children would be much appreciated! Thanks

      Make sure you're eating healthy, getting plenty of folic acid, and taking vitamins. Get plenty of rest, and try to rid yourself of as much stress as possible. Make sure your husband is staying healthy as well. No smoking, no drinking, no masterbation.

  6. QUESTION:
    My boyfriend and I are trying to concieve a child, but we're having a bit of trouble getting pregnant. Tips?

    • ANSWER:
      We tried for YEARS to have a baby and then I came across a book at a garage sale that changed our lives. It was all about "Apple Cider Vinegar" (the author found that it worked so well for animals that it should work on humans too - and testimonials proved it) so what did I have to loose. I drank 1-2 Tbs.of Cider Vinegar 2-3 times a day in water alone or with honey. It doesn't taste great, but I was willing to try anything. Well I almost jumped off the Dr's table when he said I was pregnant about 6 months later.That was 32 years ago and had a second child 4 years later - I mentioned this to another lady years later that had said they had given up hopes of having a family - well believe it or not she ended up having a real healthy baby. Don' know whether it was from the Apple Cider Vinegar or not, but it sure sounds like it because we had both given up on our dreams and both had healthy babies. It's worth checking out - best of luck to you - We KNOW the empty feeling!!!! (this has something to do with the acidity/alkalinity of the sperm or something)--- it came from a book on "Vermont Folk Medicine"

  7. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant tips. Is it true its better to....?
    have sex every other day? &+ why?
    Any other tips

    • ANSWER:
      The common held belief is that it is better to have sex every other day, but this is not necessarily true. Let me explain why.

      First, men will not 'magically' run out of sperm from increased sexual activity. True, the will have less sperm if you have intercourse daily, but when the number of sperm drops down from 2 million to 1 million it hardly makes a difference considering it takes only one. As well, a thing to remember is you can become pregnant from pre-ejaculate. It's one drop of semen that contains a few hundred sperm, and it can get you pregnant as well.

      Sperm live in an *ideal* environment for 24-72 hours. HOWEVER, since the ideal environment is incredibly hard to achieve most die within the first 24 hours, and a good deal of them lose their ability to fertilize after 12.

      When you ovulate you have a 12-36 hours window for that egg to become fertilized. So, if you have sex on day 1 typically the sperm will have died by day 2. If you ovulate later on day 2 that egg may not be able to be fertilized by day 3. If you have sex later on day 3 you won't have an egg to be fertilized. See how that works?

      Having sex every day ensures a steady supply of living viable sperm to fertilise with. Having a huge amount of sperm inside of you isn't helpful if they have all died before an egg is available, and you run the risk of having the egg become unviable before you've introduced more sperm into the equation.

      Again, some have seemingly persuasive arguments about why sex every other day is better, but they are not considering the finite time both the egg and sperm have in wich they are viable to produce a pregnancy.

      Any Tips? :

      It takes on average a couple without any fertility issues a year to become pregnant. Some will get pregnant their first try others it will take two years. And, this is WITHOUT any fertility issues stalling the process. Thus why it is an 'average' and not a garuntee. So, if you stress to hard because it's been a few months and nothing has happened you are only decreasing your chances. Making a baby should be a fun and exciting event. Remember to keep it fun and romantic. You don't have to have intercourse in any specific position or any specific time during your fertile period. And, you don't have to abstain from intimacy when you are not in your fertile period. The key thing to remember here is that while you don't have to have sex in any particular position he does need to ejaculate in a certian position for higher chances. So, if you spend an hour being intimate remember when it comes time for him to ejaculate to get onto your back with a pillow under your butt. I garuntee that after an hour of intimacy when it comes time it will *not* kill his mood to change positions. Remember to have fun! And, if you don't get pregnant right away just think of it as more time to have a lot more fun before you do get pregnant. Having a baby will definately put a damper on a lot of the intimacy that you're used to so enjoy the most of it while you can. :~D

      *~~*Best Wishes & Lots of Baby Dust*~~*

  8. QUESTION:
    Can anyone give me any advice on getting pregnant or tips?
    Me and my partner are trying for a baby and i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips or advice as nothing is happening, thank you :) xxx

    • ANSWER:
      Every time you and your partner have sex when you are ovulating you have a 20% chance of getting pregnant. Take ovulation test, look for cervical mucus, take your temp in the morning before you get out of bed and use a calender. Go onto webmd

  9. QUESTION:
    im having trouble getting pregnant tips?
    please i need some tips on how to get pregnant easier

    • ANSWER:
      Have you started charting your cycles yet? If not, that would be my first piece of advice to you. Fertilityfriend.com is a great (and free!) website that has everything you need to get started with tracking; so I'd definitely recommend checking it out. Getting pregnant all comes down to when you ovulate, so if you can pinpoint your most fertile time of the month, it will dramatically increase your odds of conceiving. You could also try using OPK's (Ovulation Predictor Kits) to pinpoint ovulation...they usually come in 7-day kits and are about - at any drugstore. Other than that, make sure you're as healthy as you can be. Cut down on caffeine and alcohol, or better yet, remove it from your diet altogether. Stop smoking if you do. Start taking prenatals now, to ensure that your baby has a good start when you DO become pregnant. Good luck, and lots of baby dust to you!!

  10. QUESTION:
    TTC..Just got my period :( Getting pregnant tips that worked for you...?
    My fiance and I are trying to conceive...I was 5 days late for my period ( so we thought we were pregnant this time) and I just got my period today :( I have 2 questions...since I got my period late..will my ovulation date change for next month? Also, what are some tips for getting pregnant that worked for you?
    also...how do I find the length of my luteal phase?

    • ANSWER:
      ok, first off, statistically ever women's cycle changes on average every 6mnths,so you may just be going through a slight change. Secondly, this may or may not mean ovulation date will change, it could be your luteal phase that lengened. The only way to tell is to chart your BBT (Basil Body Temp) which is your temp taken first thing in the morning every morning at the same time before speaking or moving. If you chart this daily it should show you a pattern of when you ovulated (drop then spike in temp) from there the temp stays higher during your luteal phase till you either receive Menses or get a BFP!! A great site to use is Fertilityfriend.com to chart your temps and other signs of ovulation and also read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, it really helped me out when TTCing with my first.

      Also, I took Maca and Vitex daily and Evening primrose (until ovulation only) to regulate hormones and help regulate cycle and ovulation. I got pregnant first month trying this herbal method, and using again this time

      Vitamin C can increase the quality of your cervical fluid, but more than 1000 mg will completely dry up your cervical fluid. Also, your right about not using lubricants, also, no saliva either! The bacteria can kill the sperm. Hope this helps!

    Home tricks to conceive? Getting pregnant, tips?
    So here's some information on my situation...
    I wanna start trying for a baby. My period used to be every 28 days, but last month it came about 5 days late. Thought I might have been pregnant but wasn't, so I guess at the moment I have irregular ish periods.
    When are the most fertile days for me? (Most likely to get pregnant)
    Also, are there any sort of handy little tips you've picked up when trying to conceive?
    Like, what foods I should eat or positions, time of day to have sex...ect.

    Oh and I should probably mention I just came off my period today.
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      1. Don't go by the ovulation calendars or days that people give you from them. If you have irregular cycles, they could be wrong. It is best to have sex at least every other day or two all cycle long (maybe not during your period), so you don't miss any possible days.
      2. Exercise. If you have something like PCOS, it can actually help regulate your insulin and other hormones, making you more fertile. Just don't overdo it... 45 minutes at least 4-5 days a week is good. Morning is best for time of day for sex, as sperm concentration is highest in the morning. If you have time, put a pillow under your hips for 10-15 minutes after sex. Eat lots of green veggies with Folic Acid, take a prenatal vitamin with Folic Acid in it, don't get too much Vitamin C. Maintain a healthy body mass index, as that will also boost your fertility.

      I know it is hard, but try not to stress too much about it... it only makes it harder on you if you get a negative test, and makes sex less fun. Good luck!

      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.

      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.

      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

  28. QUESTION:
    What are some good tips on getting pregnant?
    We (my husband and myself) are hoping to concieve.. What are some of your tips on getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      If you or your husband smoke, you need to quit. Smoking can significantly reduce fertility for both men and women, and it can also lower conception rates for couples. Smoking can reduce sperm counts, as well as affect the quality of sperm in men. As for women, it can make conception harder. However, there is still hope for smokers. Research has shown that men, who gave up smoking, experienced an increase in sperm count of up to 800%.

      It may be the best time to modify your lifestyle in such a way, that you can reduce stress. Stressors will always be part of our lives, and although the links between stress and fertility are not yet clear, more and more doctors believe it exists. There are studies that have shown that women were able to conceive, after they had therapies aimed at reducing stress.

      There is also a need to examine your diet. Research has shown that a lack of nutrients is common, among individuals who are having fertility problems. In particular, the study found out that couples having fertility problems had a lower intake of foods, which are rich in antioxidants. It may also help if you take vitamin supplements. A daily dose of 100 mg of Vitamin C can increase sperm counts up to 140%. Likewise, Vitamin E and selenium have been found to improve sperm motility.

      It may help if you consult your doctor regarding certain nutrients and plants, which have been found to boost fertility for both men and women. Discuss with your doctor which supplements you can use to aid conception. There are already supplements that contain a combination of essential nutrients and even herbs, which can increase conception.

      Obesity may also hamper a couple’s desire to conceive. Thus, efforts at weight reducing are recommended. For some women, even reducing their daily caloric intake may improve fertility. Even as little as 5% of weight loss for women with polycystic ovarian disease, may encourage ovulation and pregnancy. Women with this condition don’t usually ovulate, and they may have excessive male hormones, as well as insulin resistance.

  29. QUESTION:
    What are some tips on getting pregnant?
    Well it's that time! We're ready to have a baby! What are some tips or advice on getting pregnant? I havent been on birth control in several months and I didnt know if an ovulation test was the way to go or if we should just try try try...any advice is welcomed!

    • ANSWER:
      Here are some tips you can try: try taking Robitussin or mucinex the one that has the ingredient Guaifenesin in it ,with the mucinex it is the white and blue box you can get the generic brand at the dollar tree it is called Mucus Relief you start taking it 7days before you ovulate 1 pill every fours or as the directions say with the Robitussin you start taking the same as the mucinex and you take 2 to 3 teaspoons a day and what the Robitussin and mucinex does is that it helps thin out your cervical mucus so that the sperm can swim better and make it's way to your egg,and you should track when your fertile days are and when you ovulate and to do that you can use ovulation/fertile calendars this is the one I like and use http://www.fertilitygal.com/my-fertilitygal.htm it's a free site all you do is put in your info and it will show you when your fertile and when you should ovulate, now when you get close to your fertile days start tracking your cervical mucus when it becomes clear and looks like egg whites that's when you should start having intercourse every other day or every 36 hours. Plus you can use ovulation test or charting your Basel body temp to track ovulation and on the day you are ovulating you have intercourse too.I heard the best position when ttc are the missionary position and dogg style cause he's closer to you cervix plus when doing it in the missionary position they say to put couple of pillows under your butt cause it brings him even closer plus it helps to elavate your body so that the sperm can swim in the right directions plus it helps keep most of the semen it you.After ejaculation they say you should stay laying down for about 30 min to an hour so the semen stays in you longer so the sperm have a better chance to fertilize the egg, one lady said she laid there for 4 hours and the following month she found out she was pregnant!.Best of luck to you,Lots of baby dust your way!

  31. QUESTION:
    whats the best posistion to to get pregnant also tips on getting pregnant?
    i have trying for 2 yrs now plz help me i am desprite

    • ANSWER:
      Some doctors say position doesn't matter, and some say missionary may help somewhat, especially if you have a tilted uterus. Also, try lying on your back with your pelvis tilted up (a pillow or two under your behind helps) for 20 minutes after sex (again, doctors disagree, but some say it might help, so why not?).

      Do you track your ovulation and periods regularly? I used urine strips in the past, but prefer my saliva ovulation kit (I use Ovulite, from Amazon.com for about ). It tells you when you are not ovulating, about to ovulate, ovulating, finished ovulating and pregnant.

      Are you watching your diet? I have read information recently that high amounts of trans fats and saturated fats affects fertility in women.

      Also, do you use lubricant? Most lubes out there are aggressive and can kill sperm, try using sperm-friendly lubes like from earlypregnancytests.com.

      Finally, visit your doctor. They say a woman under 30 should be pregnant within a year, over 30 within 6 months. Your obgyn will do a pap test, cervical/uterine exam and blood work to generally check everything out for you. If nothing is found, your partner should see a doctor to check his sperm count and motility.

      Best of luck to you.

  32. QUESTION:
    what are some tips on getting pregnant?
    my bf and i are trying to get pregnant and i was wondering about some good tips on getting pregnant. also how can i tell when im ovulating with out having to take a test all the time.
    another question i have too is we have both been thinking that i might already be pregnant. i feel really sick in the mornings but i dont throw up. my breast dont hurt but my nipples do. my bf says that i have been really moody lately too. i took a test and it came up negative, could i still be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could still be pregnant.
      But, before you start ttc, you should start prenatal vitamins, at least folic acid. Folic acid is absolutely crucial in the first couple of weeks development.
      I can always tell when I'm ovulating when my cervix is really low. Basically when I do the naughty with hubby and hits it really easily and it hurts, I'm like keep going because I'm ovulating!
      Also if you chart your temperatures you can tell when you're ovulating.

  33. QUESTION:
    Anyone have some good tips on getting pregnant?
    I smoke cigarettes, but i've also heard that that does have an effect on getting pregnant. Also, what kind of folic acids can I take to become more able to be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Folic acid does not help you get pregnant. You should take a prenatal vitamin and a minimum of 400mg of folic acid starting three months before trying to conceive. Folic acid greatly reduces the chance of birth defects. Both the vitamins and the folic acid help to promote a healthy baby and pregnancy.

      Smoking can damage your eggs and that effects your fertility. It probably does other things as well. You could do a google search and find out.

      You should quit smoking now. It is not good to smoke while you are pregnant. It can cause a whole range of problems. You also don't want the stress of quitting and going through with drawl when you are pregnant. It would be better if you had that behind you before you were pregnant. Quitting smoking is hard and being pregnant can be hard as well (trust me I've done both), you don't want to have to go through both at the same time.

      To maximize your chances of getting pregnant: Read the book: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. The book explains your cycle, charting and how to get pregnant. It is a great book and a must read!

      The only day you get can pregnant is when you ovulate. The day you ovulate, your body releases the egg. The egg lives a maxium of 24 hours. However, sperm can live up to five days in fertile cervical mucus but most live three days. Your fertile phase are the 3-4 days prior to ovulation and the day of ovulation. In order to maximize your chances of getting pregnant, you would have sex every 24 hours during this time. Unless you think your partner has low sperm count, then you would have sex every other day during your fertile phase.

      In order to know when you ovulate and when you are in your fertile phase, chart your waking temperature and observe your cervical mucus.

      In order to get pregnant you need fertile cervical fluid/mucus. The cervical mucus consistency varies through a woman's cycle. The consistency of your cervical mucus changes during the cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites. The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this phase where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. Here is some information of cervical mucus.

      Stages of Cervical Fluid: Post Menses
      Stage 1: Lasting 2 - 3 days CM is Sticky or Gummy
      Stage 2: Lasting 2- 4 days: CM is Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - Beginning of your fertile period
      Stage 3: Lasting 1-5 days: Egg white Cervical Fluid - At this time you are very fertile.
      Stage 4: Dry, Moist or Sticky (Infertile)

      Here is a more detailed description:
      http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/cervical-mucus.html
      http://www.fertilityuk.org/nfps401.html - this one has pictures

      Some other tips:
      -When having baby sex, do not use lube (KY Jelly, astroglide, etc) it renders sperm immobile. If you want to use lube, use preseed. Preseed promotes a sperm friendly atmosphere. http://www.preseed.com/
      -Do not douche or use scented tampons. They alter the acidity of the vagina.
      -Do not have oral sex when you are having baby sex. Saliva can kill sperm.
      -Have sex in the missionary position. This allows for the deepest penetration and will deposit the sperm closest to the cervix.
      -After sex, stay laying down with your pelvis slightly elevated/tilted for 15 minutes.

    Tips on getting pregnant with an irregular cycle and a tilted uterus?
    We have miscarried twice and have had difficulty getting pregnant in the past. We were just hoping for some advice(real advice) on increasing our chances of pregnancy with an irregular cycle and a tilted uterus. Thank you so much for your time.

    • ANSWER:
      You know, I'm not quite sure I would be the one to answer your specific issue about the tilted uterus, but here is some advice that has worked for us (husband and I), and I like to share it with friends and people in needs who are trying to increase their chances of pregnancy when they have similar symtoms like yours.

      -Monitoring one's body signs for ovulation, then having lovemaking on the days when this occurs.
      -There a variety of different brands of commercial gadgets for monitoring your ovulation and fertility levels readily available, and they all work somewhat differently. (The book I talked about...I actually including a link if you're interested, goes into more detail for you).
      -You and your partner can monitor these signs to figure out if you are fertile, after which engage in lovemaking on these days. This is the fastest way to get pregnant naturally along with many others the book mentioned that we also used...
      -Once your vaginal mucus becomes less thick, you are getting closer to
      ovulation.

      Hope that helps!

    • ANSWER:
      1) Start charting your cervical mucous and basal body temperature. There's a great site that can aide in this that I use; www.fertilityfriend.com .

      2) Start taking pre-natal vitamins.

      3) Maybe get a check-up with your doctor and let him know you're starting to try. He may have some suggestions also.

      4) Eat healthier. Women who are a healthy weight and eat the proper food requirements for their age and weight are more likely to get pregnant quickly.

      5) Talk to your hubby and ask him to get on board with you physically. Both of you should stop drinking, smoking and any recreational drugs. He should also engage in healthy eating. This will increase both of your fertility.

      6) Have fun! Don't put too much pressure on yourselves if it doesn't happen right away. Enjoy the experience and try not to stress.

  39. QUESTION:
    What are some tips for getting pregnant fast?
    My boyfriend and I are going to start trying soon for a baby :) I'm not on any birth control or medication , we havn't even had sex yet. We just want to know some good tips. I was also wondering if I should buy the prental vitamin and start taking it now. I heard it helps alot when you use it before, during and after pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      1. Do get a preconception checkup.

      Before you officially start trying, get a preconception checkup. Ask your doctor about prenatal vitamins that contain folic acid, which will decrease your risk of having a baby with neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. "Do this the cycle before you start trying," Hillard tells WebMD. "If you have any underlying medical problems, they need to be under control before you can safely become pregnant."
      2. Do get to know your cycle.

      Sex education is key, says Hillard. "Women need to really understand their cycle and when they are most likely to become pregnant," she says. Ovulation is the best time to get pregnant.

      "Being aware of the symptoms of ovulation [which include] changes in cervical mucus such as a thin watery, mucus-like discharge is also helpful," she says. Other signs of ovulation can include a one-sided twinge of pain. "This is the time to focus on having sex."

      Ovulation prediction kits can also help predict the best time to get pregnant, says James Goldfarb, MD, director of the infertility service at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. "They assure a patient that they are ovulating, and if you are having infrequent intercourse, this tells you when to have it to increase your chances of getting pregnant "

      The first day of your menstrual period is day one. "Start testing on day nine and keep going until you get a positive," advises Joanne Piscitelli, MD, an associate professor of gynecology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. Women with a 28-day cycle tend to ovulate on day 14, but many women have longer or shorter cycles, so casting a wide net can help you be sure.
      3. Don't worry about the best positions for getting pregnant.

      Myths abound about the best positions for getting pregnant, but they are just that -- myths. There is really no scientific evidence saying that the missionary position is better than the woman being on top when it comes to maximizing your chances of making a baby.

      "Very rarely, a woman's cervix is in an unusual position where certain positions can make a difference," Goldfarb tells WebMD.

      Certain gravity-defying positions, such as sitting or standing during intercourse, however, may discourage sperm from traveling upstream. "It's a matter of gravity [and] you don't want all the semen to run out -- and semen are quick little critters," Hillard says. "Having sex with the man on top [missionary position] may best allow sperm to pool in the vagina," she suggests.
      4. Do lay low right after intercourse.

      You have probably heard this one before -- lie in bed with your feet in the air after having sex to increase your chances of getting pregnant. The verdict? Not (totally) true. "It's good advice to lay in bed for 10 to 15 minutes after intercourse, but you don't need your feet in the air," Goldfarb says. "Your pelvis does not move when you put your legs in the air." Don't go the bathroom during this time either, he says. "If you wait 10 to 15 minutes, the sperm that is going to get into the cervix will be in the cervix."
      5. Don't overdo it.

      Having sex like rabbits even during ovulation will not necessarily increase your chances of getting pregnant. It may seem like a good idea, but some men's sperm count will deplete if they ejaculate too often, Goldfarb says. "In general, every other night around the time of ovulation helps increase your chance of getting pregnant," he says. Sperm can live up to 72 hours after intercourse. That said, if you and your mate enjoy having sex more frequently, he can get a semen analysis after he has ejaculated several times in a row. This test can tell if his sperm quality or quantity is depleted by frequent ejaculation. If it is not, then feel free to have sex as often as you like.

      Speaking of sperm, "wearing tight-fitting clothing can negatively affect sperm count," Piscitelli says. So too can spending time in hot tub or Jacuzzi. Your man's cell phone habits may also affect your chances of becoming pregnant. A recent study in the journal Fertility and Sterility showed that men who used a hands-free device with a cell phone and kept their phone close to their testicles had impaired sperm quality. And while you are telling your partner where to keep his cell phone, you may want to tell him to pass on the edamame and other soy foods. Men who eat a lot of soy foods may have a lower sperm concentration than men who don't eat soy foods, according to a study published online in Human Reproduction.

      6. Do de-stress any way you can.

      Trying to get pregnant can be stressful, and stress can certainly derail ovulation, Hillard says. It can also cause sexual dysfunction and performance anxiety for men. "There is some evidence that acupuncture can help reduce stress and increase your chances of becoming pregnant," Goldfarb says. While excessive alcohol use is not wise when trying to get pregnant, "a mid-cycle glass of wine to relax and have intercourse can be helpful," he say

  40. QUESTION:
    What is the best tips on getting pregnant?
    With my first pregnancy, I took fertility pills for about a month. I got pregnant shortly after, but miscarried. Then about a year later I got pregnant again, this time I went full term, and he is now 3. We are wanting another, but have been unsuccessful. I really don't want to try the fertility pills again. Any help would be appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      I agree with all the tips about knowing when you are ovulating and time intercourse starting about 5 days before ovulation and including the day of. Also, drink a lot of water to increase cervical fluid, do not use KY jelly as lubricant, and if possible, try to have an orgasm after your partner as the contractions can help to "suck up" the sperm into the cervix.

    anyone have any tips on getting pregnant?
    i am trying to get pregnant , and i want to know if anyone has any tips. i mean it sounds like a silly question, but, if anyone has anything helpful, i would really appreciate it.
    i know the obvious, like having sex, and ejaculating in the vagina, and there are diffrent positions that are more helpful. but, if you have anything else that would be helpful it would mean alot.

    • ANSWER:
      It is not a silly question - we spend many years trying not to get pregnant that we think it should be easy to get pregnant when it is actually a more complicated process.

      There are so many tips to share - its hard to know where to begin. You can increase your chances of conception by:

      * Stopping smoking if you smoke
      * Reduce your alcohol intake
      * Avoid coffee - too much caffeine can affect embryo implantation in the uterus
      * Adopt some natural holistic treatments to prime your body for conception
      * Take at least 500mg of folic acid a day. This is particularly important in the 12 weeks leading up to conception as well as the 12 weeks following conception. Why? Folic Acid reduces the risks of developing neural tube defects that could affect the development of your baby’s brain and spine. Folic acid can also be found in brocoli and in green leafy vegetables such as spinach.
      * Start charting your your menstrual cycle so you start to understand the most likely times when you are ovulating.

      Hope this helps.

    Tips for getting pregnant after stopping the pill?
    My partner and I want a baby, so I stopped taking the pill, I'd like to know some tips for getting pregnant :) other than the obvious like having unprotected sex yada yada

    • ANSWER:
      One of the most important things to know is that ovulation happens on day 14 of a 28 day cycle (although the preovulatory phase lasts from 6 to 13 days and accounts to the variance in cycle length) and that the ovum (egg) is only viable for about 24 hours more or less. The window of opportunity is very narrow. The mans sperms can live inside your body for about 48 hours more or less.

      Oh, and I guess you need to know how to count your cycles days: The 14th day is the 14th day after the first day of menses.

      With that knowledge you should be able to decide when to increase sexual activity,

Getting Pregnant Timing

How Can Bedrest during Pregnancy Help?
If you are one of the many women whose doctor has prescribed bedrest during pregnancy, you might be wondering why you need to do this, and if it will actually help you deliver a healthy baby. While there is some disagreement on exactly how much good bedrest can do, many practitioners believe that the benefits of bedrest outweigh some of the potential drawbacks.

If you have been prescribed bedrest during pregnancy, its probably because you have a medical condition that places you at a higher risk, your family history or past pregnancies indicate a higher risk factor, or you might be carrying multiples. In most of these situations, the benefits of bedrest hinge on the bodys ability to normalize after being under stress, and creating a more manageable environment in which you and your baby can stay safe and healthy.

If you are going to spend most of your time in bed, its very important that you discuss with your doctor which position is best for you. For most pregnant women, lying on their side, with a pillow between their knees is recommended. You may also wish to look into a body bolster specifically designed for pregnant women.

Unfortunately, there are drawbacks as well as the benefits of bedrest. Long periods of bedrest will cause your muscles to lose tone, cause aching joints and increase the risk of blood clots due to poor circulation. The best way to combat these problems is through exercise, but be sure to check with your doctor before starting any program, no matter how light. If you are on bedrest during pregnancy, some exercises you might consider are: tightening your arm and shoulder muscles, squeezing stress balls, turning your arms and feet in circles, and pressing your hands and feet against the bed. Just be sure to avoid using your abdominal muscles. It may not seem like much, but you will be surprised at what a difference it makes if you are otherwise almost completely inactive.

If your doctor intends to put you on prolonged bedrest during pregnancy, you may wish to ask about getting some additional support. An occupational or physical therapist can work with you to come up with an exercise plan, and can also advise you on how to make your bed more comfortable. You may also want to consider seeing a therapist if you worry about the strain that prolonged bedrest may put on your spouse and children.

The benefits of bedrest can be considerable if you are in a high-risk pregnancy. Its especially important that you relax and take good care of yourself if you have high blood pressure. Additionally, if you have any physical problems, like a weakened cervix, bedrest can help prevent putting any additional strain on the affected area. If it looks like you will be on bedrest for an extended period, be sure to find out exactly what you can and cant do. If you have any concerns about bedrest and how to make it more comfortable and less frustrating, dont hesitate to talk to your doctor.

      You can track your fertility via your natural discharge. You are most fertile when it is clear in color and a slick ,egg white consistency .

My bf worries something can be wrong although ive heard of many woman who dont get pregnant on the first try but many have. I was thinking of taking pre-natal vitamins?? Will that increase my chances of conceiving? Any tips please? What should i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Mercedes,

      To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released.

      After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your bf to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside.

      After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up.

      Get your bf to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

    Any suggestions on increasing our chances of getting pregnant?
    Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for a few months and was wondering if there is anything that we could do to increase our chances to get pregnant quicker and up our chances on conceiving. Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      My husband and I tried for 3 month before I got pregnant with #2. The third month I bought an ovulation kit and a bbt thermometer. I went onto
      www.fertilityfriend.com
      and used their chart and information and charted my temp and cervical mucus changes only. It was too hard for me to tell if my cervix was hard/soft and high/low.
      I took by bbt every morning before I did a thing. you can't talk, go to the bathroom, move, eat, nothing. I kept it under my pillowcase so I knew where it was.
      We ended up having sex every day for 5 days with the day I ovulated being the last day we had sex. The first two months we had sex every other day, and that's how I got pregnant with #2 and it wasn't working, so that's why we had sex every day straight for 5 days. Most people/doctors tell you to have sex every other day, but it didn't work the first two months and I decided to have sex every day and see if it worked and IT WORKED. I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a boy.

I am on predisone and my weight has gradually increased especially on the face. I also face possibilities of glaucoma and bone thinning due to prednisone. We've been trying to get pregnant for 4 months with no luck. I've charted my ovulation, used ovulation kits. Doctors wont even see me unless we've been trying to get preg for at least a year. My rheumatologist said the sooner I get preg, I can be off of prednisone since RA symptoms generally go away during pregnancy.I dont want to seem to be impatient, but I really need to get preg soon. The poofy face really bothers me along with other bad side effects of prednisone. Any suggestions are welcome.

  29. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to get pregnant quick? We know a couple who has been trying for nearly a year now!?

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

    can you get pregnant quick after having a baby? if so how quick?
    hi i had my 2nd child 3weeks ago and had sex 2days ago can i get pregnant quick after having a baby if so how quick?

    • ANSWER:
      You can get pregnant the day after delivery, given you actually are up for sex. I'm suprised you had sex at 3 weeks post partum! It's easier for you to get pregnant right after you have a child. I don't know why, but my Dr. told me that with my daughter, and I had to wait 6 weeks before having sex, then had to start birth control THAT DAY and he still advised I wait 30 days for the pill to kick in. Be careful, and good luck. If you want another baby soon, most Dr.'s will say to wait until your most recent baby is atleast 18 months old, so your body is healed enough to handle another baby!

    how do you get pregnant quick?
    I hear it can take a while, so how can you minimise the months it takes to become pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, I am 11 weeks pregnant and had stopped trying coz I was getting upset when I kept getting negative test results. When we had stopped trying I then found out that I was 6 weeks pregnant. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves, just relax and if it happens it happens, the more relaxed you are the better. After sex, lie with your feet against a wall and arch your back, lifting your bum off the bed. Hold for as long as possible. This seems to have worked for us with this baby and our first son. Also, don't get up as soon as you have finished having sex, relax and lie down for as long as possible. Obviously, giving those little swimmers a good chance. Take folic acid or pregnacare, to increase your chances of conception. Good luck and have fun! Becci

    do you believe in if you get pregnant quick its a boy and if it takes a while its a girl?
    I heard this from a few people can you give me your views and did this happen to you do you believe it?

    • ANSWER:
      Well its all to do with the sperm, boy sperm is bigger and faster, so if you had sex on the day of ovulation the boy sperm would get there first.....girl sperm is smaller and slower but lives longer, so if you had sex, say 3/4 days after ovulation the boy sperm would have died and the girl sperm would get to the egg.....x

  36. QUESTION:
    Got pregnant quick and have a bad cold?
    Okay...so I just found I'm pregnant this morning! We've been trying, but only since December. Is getting pregnant quickly a bad sign? I'm trying not to start out my pregnancy worrying, but my sister had a devastating miscarriage and I'm scared of that happening. Also...I haven't had morning sickness (yet!), but I do have a reeeeeeally bad cold. Normal? Any help? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Your body doesn't know how long you have been trying to get pregnant, so relax.

      People have miscarriages all the time. If you follow your dr's advice, you will do everything you can to avoid one. Most miscarriages are of babies that wouldn't survive if carried to term anyway.

      The morning sickness may or may not come. I didn't have any with my first, and only twice with my second. Some people have it all day for 9 months.

      A cold should be ok. I was really sick (bad cold/flu) with my second one very early on, and he is fine. Don't take any meds, even over the counter ones. Check with your dr. about Tylenol v. Advil -- I think you are only supposed to take tylenol when you are pregnant. A high fever should be reported to you doc, too.

      Congratulations!

    Is there any ways of getting pregnant quicker? x?
    Heya, i hear that there are some ways of getting pregnant quicker, do you have any ways.. would be a big help. Such as eat certain foods or ect. Thanks. Soph x x x

    • ANSWER:
      There's not really a way to get pregnant sooner because you ovulate when you ovulate (well...short of taking fertility drugs/treatments) There are, however, ways to increase your chances.

      Such as...

      ** Start taking your prenatal vitamins (with folic acid) NOW!! And cut out the coffee and the smoking NOW!! (if you drink coffee or smoke) In other words...Start preparing your body for a baby as if you already had one in there. This will make it easy to weed out any potential fertility issues and lay the ground work for a healthy and successful pregnancy.

      ** Have sex 12 to 15 days after your period ends. (That is when most women ovulate)

      ** Try to have an orgasm AFTER your spouse ejaculates. This is going to sound gross but we're all adults here...Right?? When a woman has an orgasm the uterus contracts which forces the cervix down and to dip into the pool of sperm formed at the base of your vagina. This "Dipping" effect increases the chances of getting pregnant.

      ** Stay on your back with your legs in the air for at least 5 min. This forces gravity to work to your advantage. It will force all the sperm down toward your cervix.

      ** DON'T underestimate the power of the human body. Usually when it feels right...the time is right. Your body gives you those feelings because its thousands and thousands of years of human nature at work. Human nature wants your pregnant.

      DO NOT...

      have sex everyday for the whole month. It is extremely counterproductive. If you do this it will deplete the amount of sperm that can actually reach the egg. (Someone actually compared the journey a sperm takes to a meno attempting to get through the Great Barrier Reef) The little tales on the sperm is it's energy supply and it takes quite a while for them to fully mature. Not to mention it will also lower the amount of seminal fluid. Seminal fluid is needed to help the sperm navigate through the acidity of the vagina.

      DO NOT...

      save the sperm for later (or until you are ovulating). Sperm only lasts about 1 to 2 hours outside the body.

      DO NOT...

      have sex under stress. Personal experience says create a baby out of love not necessity. Also when the body is under stress it goes into self-protection mode. That is why research states that people are more susceptible to sickness when they are stressed out. Because the body is busy working on restoring it's immune system it feels as though it can not support another life. So, when you are stressed the body can see your newly fertilized egg as something it needs to protect you from (think of it as an intruder). Therefore your body will attack this "intruder" and you will miscarry (usually before you even know you're pregnant) in the form of a period.

      Hope this helps...Good Luck!!

  42. QUESTION:
    Ladies, any tricks on getting pregnant quicker? Especially if you have an irregular period?

    • ANSWER:
      yes, figure out why irregular period (especially if irregular more than 35 days) and get it diagnosed i.e. go to a doctor. Most likely cause is PCOS which can be addressed with med metformin.

      If by irregular you mean 28-31 days, then just figure out what days do you usually ovulate (range) TTC couple of days before that and continue to TTC at least couple of days after expected ovulation time. many ways to figure out ovulation(BBT charting, OPK, EWCM, etc.).

      Good luck.

Getting Pregnant From Precum

Can You Get Pregnant With Fibroids?
If you are aware that you have fibroid tumors, you may be wondering about the impact it might have on your fertility. The time when we are trying to conceive is always a time of mixed emotions and anticipation and a time when we want as little as possible to worry about as there is no doubt that stress can impact negatively on our ability to conceive.

In answer to the question, "Can you get pregnant with fibroids?", the reply is generally positive. Many women can and do get pregnant despite having fibroids, but there is no doubt that the condition can cause problems in the minority.

The three issues relating to fibroids which can affect your ability to get pregnant with fibroids relate to their size, location and type.

Size

The larger your fibroids, the more adversely they could affect your chances of getting pregnant. However, some women with large fibroids will still conceive although they could experience discomfort throughout pregnancy and can cause an early delivery.

Location Of Fibroids
If fibroids are located either low down and near to the cervix they can block the passage of sperm, thus preventing a pregnancy. Similarly, if fibroids are high up in the uterus, they can block off the fallopian tubes and prevent the sperm reaching the egg.

Type Of Fibroids

Submucosal fibroids (those located just under the lining of the womb) can sometimes distort the uterine cavity significantly and this prevents implantation. These types of fibroids do not usually affect conception, but a women will often not know that she has conceived as the miscarriage occurs before implantation.

Fibroids are a sure sign that your body is out of balance and although we would all prefer to be free of them before conceiving, surgery and hormonal treatment is rarely the best option at this time and can actually hinder conception. Although the answer to the question "Can you can pregnant with fibroids?" is normally positive, we would all prefer to remove any possible hindrances.

Natural treatment for fibroids can be used both before and during pregnancy very safely and can help to quickly reduce the size of your fibroids and their symptoms. If you would like to see details of a completely natural, tried and tested treatment which has had enormous success worldwide, please visit Fibroids and Pregnancy. The 7 Step Plan contains comprehensive information which will help you to minimize the impact of your fibroids on your pregnancy and answer your question "Can you get pregnant with fibroids?" Conceiving with fibroids should hopefully not cause you as many problems as you were perhaps anticipating, but as fibroids are a sign that your body is out of balance, what better time to take action?

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum?

    i had gotten precum on my vaginal opening but i wanted to know the chances of getting pregnant from that. i know it is possible but i wanted to know what are the chances if we didnt have intercourse. all of my friends tell me not to worry and that it is very very unlikely to get pregnant from precum on my vaginal opening but, i need to know from others. thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      No chance really, infact its true, that your chances of becoming pregnant by having unprotected sex, including ejectulation in the vagina are only 25%!

  2. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum and using Plan B 60 hours afterwards?
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum and using Plan B 60 hours afterwards? My condom broke, but he realized it before he cum because he pulls out and check every once in awhile.

    • ANSWER:
      Not very high. Plan B is about 80% effective when used within a 120 hour time frame.
      However, if you miss a period you should take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side. Even though Plan B usually messes up a woman's regular cycle.

  3. QUESTION:
    What is the percentage of getting pregnant from precum?
    My friend had sex last friday without a condom or birthcontrol. And he didn't cum at all and she doesn't know if there was precum or not. What is the percentage of getting pregnant from precum?

    • ANSWER:
      If sperm came into contact with your vagina there there is a risk of pregnancy. Precum does contain sperm. Here is some information to you which might help you in the future.

      You can become pregnant any time throughout your cycle. It doesn't matter if its before or after your period, you can still become pregnant.

      A womans most fertile time means she is at very high risk of conceiving a baby. This time in her cycle is also referred to as her Ovulation time. During this time you will notice a egg-white vaginal discharge and may experience abdominal cramping.

      Precum also known as pre-ejaculatory fluid does contain sperm. Women have become pregnant from precum before and are still becomming pregnant from precum to this day.

      The man does not know when he has released precum, contary to what he may tell you. Precum is a fluid which is released from the penis when the man is sexually aroused and prior to ejaculation.

      It only takes one sperm to make a baby.

      The only way to prevent pregnancy 100 percent is by abstaining from sex all together. Or failing that, by going on birth control or using condoms. Using condoms and birth control pill in conjuntion together, has a very high success rate at preventing pregnancy.

      Missing one birth control pill will put you at risk of pregnancy. Condoms are a good method at preventing pregnancy and also of preventing infections being passed back and forth between partners.

      Yeast infections and Urinary Tract Infections can be transmitted by having unprotected sex.

      After having unprotected sex, washing with soap, having a bath or shower will NOT prevent pregnancy. Only using protection will prevent pregnancy.
      I hope this has helped you some. I didn't know if you knew all of this so I bullet pointed it all for yourself and other views of this questions. Please recommend me if I have helped you. Take care sweetie!

    What are the odds of getting pregnant from precum?
    I had sex with my gf a week ago and she thinks she is pregnant. I was only in her for less than a minute without protection but i did not ejaculate in her. We only went for a short amount of time because we were afraid of pregnancy. I was wondering what the odds are of her getting pregnant from precum after i had peed like 2 times before we did this.

    • ANSWER:
      Any time sperm or pre-ejaculate touches the vagina it can travel in and you can become pregnant. There is a 20-25% chance a woman can get pregnant each month. I would say your friends need to do a little more research before giving guidance such as this. This is why so many women become pregnant without protection. Even when the male did not ejaculate inside of her. Be more careful if you do not wish to be pregnant. And, if this was during your most fertile time, it raises the chance to high. Best of luck. :)

  6. QUESTION:
    What are the possibilities of getting pregnant from precum?
    My boyfriend and i were having sex and he kept pulling out often cause he kept changing positions. he didnt ejaculate inside me and went to the bathroom since he last ejacualted which means leftover sperm was flushed out....could i get pregnant from his precum...and if i'm due for period in a week?
    Are chances slim?

    • ANSWER:
      The failure rate for the pull-out method is about 25%. That's HUGE compared to condoms and birth control pills. So unless you want a baby, I suggest you use another form of birth control.

    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum and taking the plan B pill 20 hours afterwards?
    My boyfriend and I mutually masturbated and some of the precum on his hands might have gotten in my vagina because he fingered me later. I took the Plan B pill 20 hours later. This morning, I had a thick, yellow discharge but it went away. Neither of us have an STI or anything. What are the chances that I am pregnant? Please no rude comments. I am only 17 and I am very worried. Thanks for the help.

    • ANSWER:
      Precum is entirely still game to get you pregnant, the chances of it happening from him fingering you after words (unless it was still wet on his hand) is very unlikely, and if you took the plan B pill, the odds are even lower. I wouldn't worry some strange discharge from time to time can be pretty normal.

    • ANSWER:

  12. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum or through clothes?
    The other day when fooling around my boyfriend had his penis pressed against my genital area. I had underwear and thin pants on. He did not have an orgasm but the area was pretty wet, I don't know if it was from him or me. I wasn't worried about it at all but my period is a couple days late and I was wondering if this is just a normal fluctuation in my cycle or if I should be concerned?

    • ANSWER:
      It is very unlikely that you got pregnant from the precum, because of you wearing your clothes. But you should really think about getting on birth control and have your boyfriend wear a condom whenever you guys have sex. Do this so that you won't have to worry about getting pregnant or getting an std. It seems like you guys are getting ready to do something so might as well be safer than sorry.

  13. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of my girlfriend getting pregnant from precum?

    Any idea?

    • ANSWER:
      It's pretty unlikely, but if you're both very worried, she should take Plan B pills right away. And you should pick up some condoms today.

  14. QUESTION:

    im only 16...

    • ANSWER:
      The effectiveness of emergency contraception is presented differently from the effectiveness of ongoing methods of birth control: it is expressed as a percentage reduction in pregnancy rate for a single use of EC. Different ECP regimens have different effectiveness levels, and even for a single regimen different studies may find varying rates of effectiveness. Using an example of "75% effective", an article in American Family Physician explains the effectiveness calculation thus:

      ... these numbers do not translate into a pregnancy rate of 25 percent. Rather, they mean that if 1,000 women have unprotected intercourse in the middle two weeks of their menstrual cycles, approximately 80 will become pregnant. Use of emergency contraceptive pills would reduce this number by 75 percent, to 20 women.

      The progestin-only regimen (using levonorgestrel) is reported by the U.S. FDA to have an 89% effectiveness. As of 2006, the labeling on the U.S. brand Plan B explained this effectiveness rate by stating, "Seven out of every eight women who would have gotten pregnant will not become pregnant."

  15. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of getting pregnant from precum 2 days after my period?
    My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex two days after my period ended. He didn't ejaculate but i know pre-ejaculate exists and can get you pregnant. I just want to know my chances of getting pregnant.

    and yes i know, use contraceptives and be safe.

    • ANSWER:
      No, you wouldn't get pregnant 2 days after period with unprotected sex.. if you had unprotected sex between 12-13 days after your period so its chance to get pregnant

    What are you chances of getting pregnant from precum ?
    I had sex with my boyfriend... And precum got on the outside of the condom. The condom had spermicide on it. Am I ok?

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible to become pregnant from a man's precum under certain circumstances, though the chances are quite low. Precum itself does not contain sperm, however sperm left behind from a previous ejaculation can stow-away and then be pushed out by the precum.

      During unprotected vaginal sex, this could allow sperm to enter the vagina and possibly fertilize an egg, even if the man were to pull out before ejaculating.

      Chances are very low. But a chance is still a chance. Use a condom, they don't just help with birth control, they help protect from STDs.

      Spermicide is in the inside of a condom, isn't it? Not on the outside?

      You're on the right track with using condoms, just pay special attention.

  17. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum and pulling out but putting back in?
    I am not on any form of birth control and while I was ovulating my bf and i had sex and he came maybe like 6 times during sex over a couple days but and kept putting himself back in after he wiped off several times... what are the honest chances of getting pregnant doing stuff like that?

    • ANSWER:
      Well anytime you have unprotected sex you are taking the risk of getting pregnant. especially using the pull-out method. Just because he pulls out doesnt mean that you cant get pregnant. And precum can get you pregnant since it only takes one sperm to get pregnant. Another thing is most people think that if you pull out and wipe off that you are safe when in reality most guys still cum a little bit even after sex because the cum that didnt all come out is coming out. So really your chances are kinda high and since you were ovulating.

  18. QUESTION:

  19. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant from precum?
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum on the first day of your period?
    Just curiouss..thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      According to Wikipedia and health classs:
      Precum may and may not have sprem cells in it depending on when's the last ejaculation happened. Meaning if a pre-ejaculation follows a recent ejaculation, sperm cells will follow, but there is not a huge chance of getting pregnant but however it is possible, just use protection to be safe for the both of you.

  20. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from Precum?
    It was in there for about 10 seconds or less. I didn't see any precum because he was jacking off. He took it out about 30 seconds before he actually came

    • ANSWER:
      Did you use a condom? If you did, the chances are pretty slim. If you didn', well it's still not very likely you got pregnant from precum. But take a home preg test just to be sure

  21. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant from precum without penetration?
    I keep reading that it is possible, but no one has really said what the actually chances are. Like ex. 1 in 100000 or a percentage or something. Does anyone know?

    • ANSWER:
      Very small.

      (Don't do this yourself), but I had sex with my bf who always had *a lot* of precum, and he didn't wear protection...this went on for years, and I never got pregnant.

      That said, don't do that. That was stupid. There is a slight chance, but if you're worried that his precum got on your vulva and now you're scared your pregnant...calm down. Your period may be late, but you're not pregnant.

  22. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of a girl getting pregnant from precum?
    If a girl was close to precum but DID NOT TOUCH it, what are the chances she is pregnant.. Just say she was 5 to 6 inches away from it.. Are the chances low? Because i heard that there were little to no sperm in precum. Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      There's live sperm in pre-ejaculate--but they can't fly. If there was no physical contact with it, that chances for pregnancy are zero.

      It sounds to me as if you're inching closer to being sexually active. You owe it to yourself to education both yourself and your partner about pregnancy and prevention.

  23. QUESTION:
    Wondering what are my chances of getting pregnant from precum?
    my bf had peed tha morning before we had sex and he accidentally put the condom on the wrong way first but there wasnt any precum on it (if there was it wasnt much at all) so he put it on the right way and i stuck it in a little and im wondering whats the chances that i get pregnant? oh and the condom was lubricated so if that helps .

    • ANSWER:
      Your chances are low because the precum actually has no sperm cells in it but sometimes sperms are left after the first ejaculation and can travel with the next precum.

  24. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant from precum right before your period?
    My boyfriend and I had a lot of unprotected sex before my period and and a few days after. He didn't finish any of the times however. So what are the chances of me being pregnant?
    (Pre-c.um is a thing to include in the chances. We also did it quite a few times..)

    • ANSWER:
      Pre-cu.m DOES have sperm, even though it's a very minimal amount. This is why so many people rely on the pulling out method. So the chances of you getting pregnant from pre-cu.m are definitely less than if he cu.ms inside of you completely.

      Remember that a man's sperm, be it pre-cu.m or not, can live in the body for 3-5 days before it finally dies. Those little guys are pretty determined. A typical woman is most fertile 14 days before the first day of her period. This is when most women are ovulating. I say 'most' because ALL women are different.

      It is, in fact possible for you to get pregnant and any given time during the month, be it pre-cu.m or full on ejaculation inside. It's best to use some kind of birth control just to be on the safe side.

  27. QUESTION:

  29. QUESTION:
    if i am not ovulating what are the possibilities of getting pregnant from precum on my vaginal opening?
    i just wanted to know the percentage and if it is rare. thanks.

    • ANSWER:

  31. QUESTION:
    What's the % of my gf getting pregnant from precum?
    If you say you better use a condom I will fking hurt you

    • ANSWER:
      No, you will not 'fking hurt' me. Go to your mom to learn some manners.

      Still, I will answer you, because unwanted pregnancy is a bit too high a prize for extreme rudeness.

      If you and your girlfriend rely on pulling out for one year, she has a 27% chance of getting pregnant before the end of that year.

      So I'm going to say it anyway and risk your feeble threat of 'fking' hurting me: better use a condom.

  33. QUESTION:

    i did not ejaculate and was in for 2 to 3 minutes. AND i wiped any "excess" fluids off before going into her

    • ANSWER:
      I'm really getting sick of seeing this type of question on here. No one here will be able to tell you if you are pregnant. Almost all of the symptoms you get during pregnancy can be associated with something else.

      Take a test, go to the doctor or do some research before you go asking questions. Chances are, your question has been answered before.

      If he pulled out in order to come then you should be okay. If he pulled out while he was coming then you might have a problem. Either way you should take the morning after pill right away (it works best within the first 48 hours) and consider in the future to go on the birth control pill.

    Me and my girlfriend were getting sexual and well we did not have full on intercourse but i think i may have had some precum cause she found a white stain on her panties.It was her last 2 days of ovulation so can she get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Don't panic, but it is possible that some sperm might have gotten in. I would check with a doctor or pregnancy test before you freak out, and remember that just because there is sperm that might have gotten in doesn't automatically mean she is pregnant. If you're still worried, you can get something called the "morning after pill" or "Plan B", either from your doctor or a local teen pregnancy service. Try Planned Parenthood. In the future, I would recommend using a condom when fooling around with those bits, even if you're not having intercourse. It's good to have fun, but better to be safe.

      Hope it works out for you!

Getting Pregnant Naturally

How To Get Pregnant Fast Home Remedies for Getting Pregnant Naturally
Unfortunately, conceiving is not always as easy as it's all cracked up to be. Infertility is quite common and nearly 20% of couples experience this in their lifetime. Some typical causes are lower progesterone level, problems during ovulation, and even such maladies as endometriosis. Before using any natural or holistic approaches to getting pregnant, you should consult your physician. Regardless of the effectiveness of these holistic methods, a doctor should always be consulted prior to resorting to these methods.

Some of the remedies are quite obvious: We must eat properly and live a healthy lifestyle. The first step to take when considering to get pregnant is to stop drinking, smoking, and refrain from excessive amounts of caffeine and carbohydrates. Exercising twice a day never hurt anyone either . A woman should really consider tracking the phases of their monthly period. For example, the days of the luteal phase can be tracked; Find out more about this from your health practicioner. Record your vaginal temperature regularily with the help of a fertility chart. Take note of your cervical mucus, as it can tell us a lot about the best time for ovulation. There is actually a technique referred to as "The Ovulation Calendar" and can be quite accurate. Certain sexual positions may help catalyzing the process of getting pregnant.

Many couples agree to the effectiveness of the "missionary" position. When in this position, the man's sperm is more capable of reaching the woman's egg. Due to the increased penetration, the penis is closer to the cervix, thus making the chances of fertilization better. There is never a substitute to Professional Medical help; Please, consult your physician regularily, as they are your best chance of getting pregnant. However, if the doctors are unable to alleviate your infertility issues, maybe it is time to try some holistic remedies.

I wish you best of luck in your quest to get pregnant.

  2. QUESTION:
    Chance of getting pregnant naturally with LOW sperm count?
    My husbands count is 1.7 million. Morphology and motility are pretty good. We're planning on doing in vitro, but until then we're just hoping it may happen naturally. What are the chances that it will happen? I can't find any hard numbers when I google search, and maybe the percentage doesn't exist. I'm just looking for some hope, though it is nice after trying for this long to be able to relax and know why we're not getting pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Emily,

      As you probably know, low sperm count is anything under 20 million sperm. I don't have a way of putting a number on your chances of conceiving, but I there are some things you can do to increase your husband's sperm count.

      The Mayo Clinic recommends several supplements that have been shown “some promise” for helping men produce more sperm, including:

      * Vitamin C
      * Zinc
      * Selenium
      * Vitamin E
      * Vitamin B-12
      * Asian ginseng

      Here are some other tips that may improve your chances of getting pregnant.
      - Increase how frequently you have sex. Increasing the frequency of sex may increase your sperm count.
      - Use lubricants your doctor recommends. Some popular lubricants such as Astroglide, K-Y jelly, and saliva have been shown to reduce sperm mobility, which decreases your chances of conceiving.
      - No cigarette smoking. Smoking has been linked to sperm abnormalities.
      - No (or little) alcohol Alcohol has been shown to lower men's sperm concentration
      - No marijuana. Smoking pot has been linked to abnormal sperm function.
      - Regular exercise and eat a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Obesity is shown to lower men’s sperm count.

      Best of luck to you and your husband!

    What are the chances of getting pregnant naturally with PCOS?
    I have PCOS and have done one cycle of IUI and 4 cycles of just clomid and have not gotten pregnant. I have a really hard time with these cycles especially the IUI because of the hormones that they use make me very emotional so I was just wonder what my chances of getting pregnant naturally were as I really don't want to do another IUI cycle.

      It's pretty hard to get pregnant when you suffer from PCOS, but it IS possible, and some women manage to do conceive even without the aide of fertility drugs, or hormone treatment. It really all depends on your personal body, and immune system, etc etc. Because every woman is different, and every case of PCOS is also unique, which is a reason as to why it is so difficult to diagnose and treat.

  9. QUESTION:
    How do I keep from getting pregnant naturally?
    I have been breastfeeding but, I guess not quite enough becuae I got my period today fro the first timesince Feb. 28 2008. With my first son I didn't get it until he was 21 months old. I really don't want to go on birth control perscriptions because I don't have the money for a doctor or even the perscription. Condoms bother me and my husband. So is there any ways to not get pregnate the natural way?

    • ANSWER:
      Google Natural Family Planning. (Or check your bookstore or library for a book on it.) Used carefully (it's NOT 'the rhythm method') it's a very reliable method ... albeit not 100% ... but then nothing is 100%.

      Or try Planned Parenthood. If money is tight they can provide you birth control at little cost. (And remmber, if you get pregnant again, that will cost even more!)

  10. QUESTION:
    Are there any medicines stronger than Clomid that will increase odds of getting pregnant naturally?
    I go to the doc today and I'm sure we'll talk about it. I just like to hear other people's thoughts. Thanks!
    And NO hubby has no fertility issues.

    • ANSWER:
      Your question is contradictory. Using medication is an alternative to getting pregnant "naturally", so either you're trying to get pregnant without meds (naturally) or you're trying to get pregnant with medical assistance.

      If you are wondering about stronger meds than Clomid to get pregnant WITH medical assistance, there certainly are. Clomid is just a starting point in most cases. It's the least aggressive protocol there is. For tougher cases, a hybrid with Clomid and injectable meds are the order, or even more aggressive would be straight injectables.

      Good luck.

  11. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant naturally while taking Clomid?
    My husband has low sperm count. Our RE recommended few cycles of IUI with Clomid. I will start taking it today. What are the chances that I could get pregnant on my own. If I ovulate regularly how will the Clomid work on my case? We are doing a double IUI. Any experience people??

    • ANSWER:
      With clomid, the chances of more than one mature eggs is higher, even if you ovulate normally. So, that would increase your chances of getting pregnancy since more targets/eggs that can potentially be fertilized (regardless of the sperm issue). The double IUI obviously provides more soldiers to reach/hit the targets.

      Good luck.

  12. QUESTION:

  16. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of getting pregnant naturally after invitro fertilization?

    • ANSWER:
      It really depends on whether or not you ovulate on your own and whether your tubes are open and also what your husband's sperm count is.

  17. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant naturally?
    I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with bowel cancer (non-hodgkins lyphoma) at age 6 and underwent 8 months of chemotherapy for it. It has never come back, I have regular periods (though they only last 1 1/2 - 2 days) and actually have ovulation pain on the odd occasion - I had to see a doctor about this when I was 16 or so and after they checked it out they put it down to ovulation pain. I was told (or rather my parents were) that fertility may be an issue for me. I am in reasonable health and we haven't started trying yet but I was wondering what my chances of falling pregnant naturally are. I guess this varies on the type of treatment you have and the type of cancer you had and different induviduals but I was wondering if anyone has/knows anyone who had success naturally that is in a similar position to myself.

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think anyone can tell you what will happen. Every person is different. All I can tell you is that on average, 80% of couples that simply stop using birth control will conceive within one year. Now, you may be not be normal. And for the other 20% it might be a very long road. So like the other poster said, just relax and give it a try. There are so many treatments available now for people who have a harder time conceiving, so don't worry about it so much.

  18. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant?
    hi has anyone on here got pregnant naturally at or around 46?

    • ANSWER:
      46 is too old - if you do get pregnant and have a baby - when the child is 13 you'll be 60, too old to keep up with a demanding teenager.

      People of your age are past childbirth - the UK should bring in laws to protect children from old parents.

      Parents who might be too ill to be fully involved in the child's life or parents who might die before the child reaches adulthood.

  19. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know of anyone getting pregnant naturally after age 50? How about with IVF using her own eggs?

    • ANSWER:
      Not 50, but my husband's aunt got pregnant at 46 (total surprise!) and had a healthy boy.

      I think as long as you're ovulating, you can conceive.

      You may want to consult with a fertility specialist, just to hear what he/she has to say. You don't even have to have an exam, just go in and have a talk. You might get some valuable info.

      Also, here's a link for moms over 40... you may want to peruse through it. It has interesting articles, testimonials, message boards, etc. for women having babies over 40. I'm 41 and TTC and I found some of the stuff there interesting.

  20. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant naturally if I have PCOS?
    We have tried some treatments and they didn't work and are expensive so we were wondering the chances of getting pregnant naturally my OB has me on a high dose bc pill and after 3 months I am suppose to stop it and it should force my body to ovulate on its own. Is this possible has anyone had a good outcome from this. Any help would be nice! Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      I have PCOS as well, and all my doctors are telling me NO you cannot get pregnant! But truth be told, they didn't look at me for me, they saw me as a statistic, just another person with PCOS, so I talked to a REAL doctor, who didn't treat me as another statistic, and he put me on something called Metformin for my PCOS. Metformin mixed with Chlomid can have the effects of a fertility drug, but I dont want to take the Chlomid yet, so he recomended that I take the Metformin every single day with a prenatal vitamin (using prenatal vitamins BEFORE conceiving can help get your body nutritionally ready) the Metformin will control the insulin in your body allowing your PCOS to take the back burner to your getting pregnant. With my PCOS, I dont have periods on my own without the help of a drug called Provera. I dont know if you get yours regularly or not, but my dc said "dont worry about getting your period, you can still get pregnant" just look for something that looks like egg whites when you wipe, or even in your undies....thats when your ovulating and you only have a small window to have sex in, so go go go!!!! I guess the answer to your question, considering I just found out in 5 weeks along, is YES, you can get pregnant naturally...if you just take ONE drug for your PCOS and a vitamin for prenatal care! Best of luck to you, and I really hope I helped you out. Oh, and ps, we tried to get pregnant for.....7 years?? So don't get frustrated and never ever give up!

  21. QUESTION:
    If under 35, how long must one wait try getting pregnant naturally before considering infertility treatments?

    • ANSWER:
      After 1 year. I thought I was in a similar boat after trying 4 months without success. I had my yearly exam with gyno, and physical year before, all results were excellent...but I couldn't get pregnant! It was due to my ignorance of my body. I had no idea what my ovulation window was, a basal body thermometer, a luteal phase...then I began reading online fertility websites, and educating myself. within 2 months, I got babydancing to a science and was preggers!

      I am 37 weeks, expecting baby boy #1!!! It's amazing...we have once chance out of an entire cycle to become pregnant!

      If you are in the know with your body, and applying the above, and still not successful, I would call your gyno to schedule a work up, and if all comes back normal, I would suggest hubby/boyfriend do the same.

      Many blessings on your journey of trying to conceive.

  23. QUESTION:
    How Do You Get Pregnant? How to get Pregnant naturally?
    We've been trying for a long time but can't get pregnant. Any tips for getting pregnant would be great. We haven't taken any infertility treatments. We want to get pregnant naturally.

    Thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      I wish there was such a simple answer to that question. There are so many things you need to consider.
      1. It could be a male problem
      2. It could be a female problem
      3. May be there is no problem
      4. You're simply not 'doing it' at time of ovulation
      5. Do you have periods/ovulation regularly?
      6. Do you smoke/ alcohol/ over weight/ etc etc.
      7. Do you have any medical condition like PCOS, endometriosis etc etc?

      See how complicated it can get? Anyway something that I have recently seen people talking about a lot is Chinese medicine for infertility. There are many people that say some changes in the life style can simply get you pregnant.
      Apparently there are many people that managed to get pregnant in spite of being told that they were 'infertile' by doctors of western medicine and then years later managed to get pregnant after a few changes in life style like a few small dietery changes etc.

  24. QUESTION:
    How many sperm per milliliter do you need to get pregnant naturally?
    I've heard that a normal count is 60-200 million per ml is normal. What are the chances of getting pregnant on 900,000?

    • ANSWER:
      According to the who (world health organization) you need 20 million sperm in the ejaculate to in one year achieve a natural pregnancy. That also assumes the rest of the numbers are good as well. The morphlogy, etc. are at normal levels.

      The odds with 900,000 is less then 1% per a month. I would suggest being seen by a male infertility urologist who can run tests to find out why the count is so low.

      The alternatives is ivf with icsi where they put the sperm into the egg. A very expensive option.

      hope that helps

      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

I would like to have more children but do not really want to have to use fertility drugs. Does anyone know how to get pregnant naturally with either herbal, or natural methods? Thank you very much for any advice or answers given.

    • ANSWER:
      Vitex Chasteberry is an herbal supplement that is used to help balance your hormones, help with fertility, and relieve PMS and Menopause symptoms. There are many websites that you can google, here's one.

      http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Vitex_RedMoonHerbs.htm

      Also, Evening Primrose Oil has helped people as well.

      Another suggestion may seem odd but it did work for a friend of mine trying to conceive. She used the Instead cups that are intended for use during your period. She would place one in after sex, her and her husband had sex every other day for the week of ovulation, and she would put a cup in immediately after before she stood up. She left it there for a few hours, then would take it out. This keeps the sperm at the cervix, she conceived the first month trying this method after 6 months of trying. It may have been a coincidence but it's worth a try.

    Can I become pregnant naturally with PCOS and irregular periods?
    Im 22 and have PCOS i have always had irregular periods that can last weeks!! Is it still possible for my to get pregnant naturally? If not what can i do to help my chances? My doctor isnt very helpful at all =( any info would be appreciated

    • ANSWER:
      Before you try those expensive drugs you should try FertilAid (this is what I take) or Fertility Blend or just plain chasteberry (which helps your body with ovulating).
      I had on average 45 day cycles- but very irregular. Like 60 days, then 30 days... I started taking FertilAid 2 months ago and I've had 2 periods. Most say its the chasteberry doing it, I highly recommend you try this before spending lots of money on doctors. It is also suppose to help with PCOS.

  39. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting Pregnant (naturally) at age 49?
    Hi folks! I have recently started a new relationship with a woman of 49. I am a male of 39. I have no medical problems but my partner went through breast cancer treatments (successfully!!) 5 years ago and is now fully fit, healthy and enjoying life.

    What percentage of women get pregnant naturally at age 49/50. We do NOT want any children (she has three already) and are wondering if we actually need ANY contraception Pill or devices at all? We realise late forties pregnancy can lead to various birth defects and Down Syndrome child, etc.

    Do you know any women who got pregnant 'naturally' at this age (without IVF, etc)?

    Obviously she doesnt want to take the Pill (with it's chemicals/side effects/etc) if she doesnt really have to.

    Any advice folks? Your help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Has she had a cycle? Sometimes after cancer treatment, it can cause her to no longer have a menstral cycle. She should check with her doctor to have tests done. If she is still menstrating there is still a chance at pregnancy. If you don't want kids, either a vasectomy, and IUD, or condoms should help. Best of luck.

  40. QUESTION:
    Getting Pregnant Naturally With PCOS?
    Is it possible?

    I'm 21 years old and I was diagnosed with PCOS in May 2009. I never had any blood drawn and I'm not on any medications. My last heavy flow period started Nov. 27, 2009 and was BCP induced.

    I've been having spotting (period like) two months in a row (July 9-13 & Aug. 11 & 13). I recently had sex August 15th, but I was feeling nauseated and bloated the day before like I might've been ovulating.

    Is it possible for a woman with PCOS to get pregnant naturally with no meds (not even Metformin). I've lost about 20 pounds on my own since I was diagnosed.

    • ANSWER:
      It's definitely possible, especially if you've been losing weight.

      Here is what I've found while dealing with PCOS and TTC, some of it may apply to you, some may not, just my observations/findings:

      1) Chart. You need to know if you're ovulating. With PCOS you can get the LH surge (ie test positive on an ovulation predictor strip), but not ovulate. The best way to determine if you ovulated is your basal body temperature. If it goes up and stays up you O'd (not the fun kind, but the important kind).

      2) Insulin is the devil. Especially for you, because PCOS and Insulin Resistance are twin sisters and they hate you. If your insulin resistance is fair to normal, you can control it with diet. Lower carb, no sugar/flour, lots of fruits and veggies. Good book to check out is Fertility Foods by Jeremy Groll. Designed for PCOS.

      3) If your insulin resistance is pretty bad and diet isn't doing the trick, you may need some drugs to help out Metformin/Glucophage is a big helper. If that doesn't do the trick Actos can be brought to the party.

      4) Did I mention charting? You really need to know if you're ovulating or not. Because if not, you may need some ovarian stimulation ala Clomid/Femara. It's dirt cheap as these things go and is pretty effective with the PCOS set. I personally have gotten pregnant with Clomid and am on Femara now.

      5) Take your vitamins. Start your prenatals now. They help. And they do wonders for your hair and nails.

      6) Exercise. I know it sucks, but it really helps with the insulin resistance. You need 150 minutes of exercise a week, preferably 100 minutes of cardio and 50 of strength training. Muscles are good for fighting insulin resistance. This is the area where I really suck at meeting my goals.

      7) If you're overweight, lose some weight. A loss of just 5% can have a tremendous impact on your insulin resistance.

      8) Use full fat dairy if you use dairy at all. The lower fat dairy has a disproportionately high level of androgen hormones which can exacerbate PCOS.

  42. QUESTION:
    Questions about hydrosalpinx and IVF or getting pregnant naturally?
    I was recently diagnosed with a large hydrosalpinx on my right side.

    Before this, my doctor put me on Clomid (50mg for two months, and then 100 for two months) which never resulted in pregnancy.

    I do think I may have had a couple early miscarriages, though. Once, the month before I was on Clomid for the first time, I was 10 days late and then bled heavily. The second month I was on clomid, I was horribly sick in bed with heavy bleeding and cramps. Both were negative pregnancy tests, but I may have tested too early.

    I'm not even sure if these were miscarriages.

    Also, I have read that the fluid from the hydrosalpinx can be toxic to a fetus, so this may have made sense, it was just aborting itself.

    I am going to go to a reproductive endocrinologist in a couple weeks and I don't know if he's going to want to do surgery to remove the hydro. Has anyone had this surgery and become pregnant naturally?

    I am saving for IVF, but I don't want it to fail. I'm afraid of surgery to remove the hydro, so I just want to hear anyone else's experience before i make a decision.

    If anyone has ANY info, it would be much appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      Get the surgery. You are right about the fluids being toxic to the fetus. Though you are not certain it is possible that you may have had a couple of losses. Women with hydros have a increase in miscarriages as well as a decrease in implantation rates and an increase in ectopic pregnancies. So if you don't remove the tube you may have a difficult road ahead. Though I did not have hydros I did have a tube removed because of an ectopic pregnancy. My RE removed my tube because it was in such bad shape my risk for a second ectopic was greater. My other tube is too weak to carry an egg so IVF is my only option. But you've got another tube and MANY women get pregnant with one tube! I do know someone who had bilateral hydros and had both tubes removed. She conceived both IVF cycles and has a 4 year old and a 1 year old.

      Sending positive thoughts!

He suggested that if I wanted to have the healthiest baby possible that I should stop taking birth control 4-5 months before we wanted to start trying. We didn't want to get pregnant before our wedding, so we used condoms up until our wedding night.

      Much to our surprise, we conceived the first time we had sex without a condom. But I didn't look at ovulation calendars or take fertility tests, or count days or anything else like that. We made an adult decision and let nature do it's thing. Now we're 16 weeks along. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant on your period.?
    I have always wanted to know what is the possibility of getting pregnant while on your period? I know that you can but what makes your chances higher or lower? If anyone can answer this please do!! THANKS
    Thank You. I just wanted to know been looking at lots of websites and they just beat around the bush so again THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      very very very small if any chance. U can only get pregnant when ur ovulating and ur period comes AFTER ovulation as your body is shedding the uterine lining that is needed to have a baby. iTs almost next to no chance.

  2. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant while on your period?
    I had my period for about two days when the condom broke and my boyfriend finished inside of me before we noticed. Now, it's about the 5th day of my period and today, my period was heavier than it was the first day, even though I barely had it yesterday. What are the chances of getting pregnant during your period?

    • ANSWER:
      The chances of you being pregnant now is very slim.

      Okay I am going to get a little graphic here and I am sorry for that, but I think that every woman should know how her body works.

      When a woman ovulates her body produces this lining along her uterus called uterine lining. This helps a fertilized egg attach to th uterus until the placenta is formed. If the egg is not fertilized then the lining sheds creating your period.

      There have been women you ovulate during their period, how this happens I have no idea, but they are few and far between.

      Hope this helps

  3. QUESTION:
    What are your chances of getting pregnant after your period?
    This is probably a dumb question but I see a lot of misinformed ladies on here. For example..Someone said you "ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT GET PREGNANT WHILE YOU'RE ON YOUR PERIOD". My mother had 3 children and each time got pregnant WHILE she was on her period. So, obviously you can..So how big/low of a chance is it after your period?

    • ANSWER:
      There would be another egg after your period so yes.
      But its catching it at the right time when trying to get pregnant!

      Well good luck. X

  4. QUESTION:
    What is the percentage of getting Pregnant on your period and birth control?
    Hey.. Me and my boyfriend had sex a couple hours ago. We have never had sex on my period week but we did today. I started my period Thursday and I've been on birth control consistently for a month now. He ejaculated in me and when I got up I started "leaking" and it was not just sperm but blood too and it was big gloops of it. What is the percentage of me still getting pregnant? Is it possible that since still on my period that the bleeding will take the sperm with it when it comes out?

    • ANSWER:
      There is still a chance, but its pretty unlikely :)

  5. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of getting pregnant on your period?
    Before you rip into me, I know you CAN get pregnant on your period. I'm just wondering what the odds are. Did you, or do you know anyone who has, gotten pregnant while menstruating? Kinda gross but I'm just curious.

    • ANSWER:
      Hmm... I see a couple answers on here that state you can not get pregnant while on your period. Believe it or not, thats how my daughter was created. I thought it was safe during that time, hmm guess i was wrong. So I'd say you have a slim chance of getting pregnant but YOU CAN get pregnant :)

  6. QUESTION:
    Is it true, the shorter your cycle the higher chance of getting pregnant on your period?
    I have heard that girls with shorter cycles have a higher chance of getting pregnant on there period than others. True ?
    I have a 26 day cycle and my periods only last for about 3 to 4 days. would this put me under someone with shorter cycles, which would put me at a higher advantage of getting pregnant on my period?

    • ANSWER:

  7. QUESTION:
    Are the chances the same of getting pregnant when your on your period?
    I understand that it's possible to get pregnant on your period,
    I was just wondering if its more likely, less likely, or about the same?
    Any information/articles/anything would be greatly appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      Less likely. You are most fertile and most likely to get pregnant while ovulating, which occurs usually about 14 days after the first day of your period.

  8. QUESTION:
    Does getting mild to bad cramps off and on before your period mean your pregnant?
    I'm pretty young only 16. I had prtected sex 20 days ago. I've had cramps for four days, and I've only got 6 more days till my period comes again. Does this reall ymean I'm pregnant? Or could it mean something else? Everywhere I looked it says oh your prego! And I'm like wtf?!!!! Can't it be something else. Freaks me out D:

    • ANSWER:
      If you had protected sex then most likely you are not pregnant, but nothing is impossible. I know someone who got pregnant on BC and had protected sex. I would wait a few more days, it could be your period cramps warning you that your period is coming soon. If your period doesn't come i'd say in a week then take a HPT or go see your doctor for a blood test. Good Luck!

  9. QUESTION:
    The possibility of getting pregnant during your period?
    I'm on the pill so I'm not taking my contraceptive pills this week because of my period. I've finished my period two days early which means I started taking the contraceptive pills again in two days but I was curious to know the possibility of getting pregnant if I had sex now? Technically I still have my period but there is just no bleeding.

    • ANSWER:
      It's not impossible, but chances are quite low.

  10. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant on your period?
    If you are trying to have a baby,And you have unprotected sex near the end of your period.What are the chances of being pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Highly unlikely but not impossible...at this point it depends on your cycle...how long is it? when will you ovulate? how long do you "bleed"? Sperm can live for up to 3 days (sometimes 5, if conditions are great)...so, that is also a factor. My ultimate answer would be that you have a very slim chance of pregnancy occuring on or shortly after your period, but stranger things have happened I'm sure.

  11. QUESTION:
    What is the possibility of getting pregnant DURING your period?
    My boyfriend and I just recently had sex while I was on day 4 of my period (it usually lasts 5-6 days and my cycle is VERY regular) without any form or protection. We have been talking about "starting a family" but aren't exactly TTC. What are the chances that I could be pregnant?

    Please don't say things like "wait for marriage" or "you're too young to be thinking about that." I am 24, he is 25 and we both have very good jobs and responsible adults. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      My daughter is living proof that you can get pregnant having sex while on your period. Having sex before the period is finished can result in pregnancy. Its not 100% certain that you will get pregnant but there is a good possibility. Check out the link, it may help you.

  12. QUESTION:
    what is the probability of getting pregnant on your period on birth control?
    i had sex on the 3rd day after having my ring out for my period. does the ring keep working while you are on your period?

    • ANSWER:
      the probability is low , but possible. I think it does keep working as long as it is in.

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the chance of getting pregnant on your period?
    Yeah this is really gross I know, but it is my week and I never thought I would ever have sex on 'that week' but we got a little carried away. Its the second day of my period and I have about 3 more days left (im on a 28 day birth control cycle) I want to know what the chance of ovulating during your period is, and if I should get something like the morning after pill? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible, although less likely. A friend at work had sex with her boyfriend in the bathtub when she was on her period and she got pregnant. And she knows it was from that time because she only got to see him every 6 weeks or so.

  14. QUESTION:
    do you have a higher chance getting pregnant before your period? during ur period? or after your period?
    I always forget.when its a lease or a higher chance when you can get pregnant when it comes with the period...so do you have a lease chance getting pregant when ur on ur period? or before or after your gonna start it?

    • ANSWER:
      Your greatest chance of getting pregnant is a few days before and the day of your ovulation. This typically occurs 14 days before your period starts. At any other time during your cycle your risk of pregnancy may not be as high, but certainly isn't zero either.

  15. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant on your period while using the pull out method and on birth control?
    me and my bf had sex on the first day of my period and he
    used the pull out method 2 times.
    after that my period stopped and then started again the day
    after but i was bleeding only a little little bit,
    then the day after that it stopped.
    i do take birth control but lately
    i've been missing the right exact time to take it.
    could i easily get prego?

    • ANSWER:
      Whenever you have sex, their is a possibility of getting pregnant. Condoms and birth control are just protection, but they don't always work. And, for the "pull out" method, you have to be careful with this. Guys can pre-ejaculate before they actually ejaculate.
      For what happened with your period, I want to say that your body probably isn't used to sex during your period so it was a little buggered up, because the same thing happened to me.
      If you keep missing the exact time to take your pill, I know that for me I am x6 more likely to get pregnant so you have to be careful! A note: if you have a cell phone, I reccomend setting a timer, it really does help a lot!

  16. QUESTION:
    What is the possiblity of getting pregnant on your period and using the pull out method?
    im just wondering.. ive felt a bit different since.. and it happened a total of 6 times (2 weeks ago).. im getting a lilttle worried and i need to have an answer

    • ANSWER:
      well i'm due in 2 weeks w/ my first baby...does that answer ur question? :)

  17. QUESTION:
    posibilities of getting pregnant on your period but he cumd in the condom then washed off and we did it for a?
    Okay so me and my girlfriend had sex with a condom on, afterwards I took it off and we got into the shower. I then rinsed it off but then we had unprotected sex. For like 2 minutes or so. Might I add she was also on her period. But anyway I didn't finish inside of her. I know there is a chance that she could be pregnant, but I just want to know our chances.

    • ANSWER:
      She is on her period which pretty much prevents pregnancy. You came inside of a condom. If zero semen entered her vag, how can she get pregnant? Derp.

  18. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant during your week off the pill when you haven't had a period?
    I have been on birth control for about 9 months now and up until two months ago I've had a regular period. Two months ago I had very little breakthrough bleeding the third week on my pills and no period while on the placebos. This month I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding and I didn't have a period.
    I know that taking birth control can shorten the length of your period and even make it so you don't have one. But what are the chances getting pregnant when that happens?

    • ANSWER:
      Very little. The pill works because it makes the uterus uninhabitable, discouraging a fertilized egg from attaching and growing. It's possible to get pregnant on the pill but unlikely, and it can happen at any point during the cycle.

  19. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant on your period? Is that the only time i can get pregnant?
    I am a healthy 21 year old that has had one son and one confirmed miscarrige. Me husband and i have been trying for 3 years and i get nothing just the one miscarrige. If my doctor is correct when i concived my son I was on my period. Does this mean I can only get prednant with my period?

    • ANSWER:
      OK your doc is probably not correct unless you had other stuff going on. If my doc based my baby's due date on when my last period was she would ahve been born 3 months late. Not every woman's cycle is the same and they aren't even the same from month to month. (And be wary of going with 14 days as the "norm" as that is only accepted as the norm and is definitely not true of everyone - whether you count after yuor period or before - every women is unique.

      I conceived on cycle day 61... meaning 61 days after my period started.. no period in that whole time....

      I recommend going to a fertility doc if you've been trying for this long - not just a regular OB. Also - read Taking Charge of Your Fertility - it was very helpful for me to understand my very odd cycles.

      Good luck :) . My sister tried for about 4+ years and was about to go on fertility drugs but decided to take a break from trying and she got pregnant - so it happens when you least expect it.

  20. QUESTION:
    is there a higher chance of getting pregnant on your period?
    i finished the depo 24.12.11 and me and my boyfriend are trying for a baby, we are in no hurry and no it can take awhile after being on the depo but would be happy wenever it happens, i started spotting yesterday, is this my periods starting again lightly as i have been having the heavy feeling in my stumach or could it be im pregnant and implantation? if it is my period is the chances higher of getting pregnant now??

    • ANSWER:
      I think its your period, I dont think you will get pregnant that fast after stopping depo. Its not likely to get pregnant on your period because that is when your egg releases from your body. Start charting down all your bleeding and periods this way you can know when your ovulated. Its usually 14 days after your period if your on a 28 day cycle. Its a good sign that you started bleeding after taking the depo.But you might not have regular periods after stopping , and might find it hard to tell when you are ovulating, Wish you luck and baby dust to you :)

  21. QUESTION:
    Possibilities of getting pregnant during your period?
    say a female is on her period and she has sex on the second day during it, but the male doesn't ejac inside the her but instead rubs it around the body "believing it would be clean of semen off his penis" (doubt it) and then puts it back in. what would be the possibilities of the girl to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      High chance of not getting pregnant.

  22. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant on your period and birthcontrol. Read my story!?
    What are the chances of getting pregnant when your boyfriend ejaculates inside you and you've been on the pill for 10 months.
    We had the unprotected sex while i was on my period wen he cummed in me.

    • ANSWER:
      Very unlikely especially since you were on your period. Of course birth control isn't 100 % but it's pretty unlikely. If you miss a period, take a test.

  23. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of getting pregnant on your period if you have an extremely irregular cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      the odds are very slim. if you're having your period you are NOT ovulating. you can only become pregnant on or close to the day you ovulate.

  24. QUESTION:
    What's the chances of getting pregnant on your period?

    i should know this stuff i work in a hospital but i do geriatrics not ob. and it's not that i would be horrified if i did get preggers. i would just be scared cause i've had a few misscarriages

    • ANSWER:
      The chance is low, but never say never. The only way that you can be sure of preventing pregnancy is using one or more forms of birth control, which can also slip up and SURPRISE you're pregnant!

  25. QUESTION:
    is there a better chance of getting pregnant if you have sex when you are on your period?
    or is there less chance of getting pregnant on your period?

    • ANSWER:
      if iam not mistaken theres a less chance but i have heard of cases when the women gets pregnate while being on her menstrual cycle.

  26. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant on your period or a few days after?

    • ANSWER:
      On your period, its very low because firstly there's no egg, and no lining for the egg to attach to (that's what's being shed during the period).
      Then it depends how soon after the period and how short the cycle is.
      The female ovulates about 14 days before the date her NEXT period would start, so if her cycle was 28 days long she would ovulate about day 14. Day 1 is the first day of her period. If her cycle is shorter say 20 days, she would ovulate (be able to get pregnant) around day 10. So if her period was 5-6 days long she could get pregnant by unprotected sex from 2 days after her period, as sperm can survive for up to 72 hours inside her.
      So for the best protection from an unwanted pregnancy abstain from sex. Second best is to use more than one form of contraception - e.g. condom and contraceptive pill. Third choice is condom alone.
      But remember this - "Never have sex with someone you wouldn't want to be the other parent to your child, because there's always the chance that they could be".
      Take care.

  27. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant while on your period and birth control?
    What are the chances of getting pregnant while on your period and are taking birth control?
    If he cums in you, im asking. And if you push out a lot of the cum?

    • ANSWER:
      You should understand that even if he 'pulls out', it IS NOT a proper form of birth control because men have a release of pre-ejaculatory fluid (which they cannot control - since it is the same tube that carries the semen out as urine, it is very acidic and can easily kill sperm-> so it tries to increase chance of getting pregnant). This pre-ejaculatory fluid has enough sperm to get a girl pregnant.

      Next, girls can get pregnant at anytime during their cycle, even during their period. Yes, ovulation is the best 2-3 days to get pregnant because the egg has just passed through the tube. But in case you are wondering, the best time to NOT get pregnant is the week following the end of your period, because the lining of the uterine walls have just been destroyed, so to speak, and is very weak and it will be very hard for the sperm to stay there and fertilize. However, to prevent pregnancy use birth control methods, DO NOT USE THE METHOD OF 'pulling out', 'hoping' or 'douching'.

      Next, from what i understand from " If he cums in you, im asking. And if you push out a lot of the ***?" i believe the *** means sperm or semen but the slang for it. The fact that the male ejaculated in you makes it very very very possible that you are pregnant. Plus, the chance increases depending on how you removed the fluid. If you douched (like my mother used to because she thought it would lessen the chance of pregnancy by 'washing it out' aka douching in a sense) it increases highly because the pressure of the water made the sperm travel higher. So you need to get back to me on how you removed the sperm.

      Next, i dont know what type of birth control you are on (pills, condom, etc) so i cannot comment on that. So you need to get back to me on what type it was.

      Last, you can message/email or whatever for more information (OR anybody else for that matter). This was not to scare you just to inform you. The main issue is what type of birth control you used ( AND IF IT WAS USED PROPERLY!). So message me! And sorry this was really long =( and i am not an expert but i did research this stuff for school many many many times

  28. QUESTION:
    How high are the chances of getting pregnant while on your period?
    Meaning having sex during your period what are your chances of getting pregnant?
    I am asking this for a friend, I am already preggers
    Thanks in advance serious answers please

    • ANSWER:
      Technically, you're not supposed to be fertile while on your period...so in theory, the chances are very low. HOWEVER, mother nature has the ultimate say and you could ovulate any time during your cycle.

      Best thing is not to chance it and use protection.

  29. QUESTION:

  30. QUESTION:
    What's the chances of getting pregnant while on your period?
    I was just wondering what the chances are of getting pregnant while on your period are? My boyfriend an I have not had sex yet, but he came on me and then fingered me. It was my 5th day, but mine normally goes for 6 or 7. We don't think that there was anything on his hands, but I'm still a bit worried.

  31. QUESTION:
    What is the chance of getting pregnant when you have your period?
    I've heard you can get pregnant while on your period. Doesn't make sense to me because if a guy cums inside you during your period, wont it just join the flow of the blood, which is going out of the vagina? How are sperm cells going to get through all that blood to reach the egg? And even if it did, I thought the egg isn't released into the ovary until 14 days following the first day of your period?

    • ANSWER:
      Actually, it is just a myth that you can't get pregnant during your period. So to answer your question the chances are the same as when you aren't having your period.
      Which would make it 97% if you are using condoms...I am not sure the percent when using birth control.

  32. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant on your period?
    I've heard you can get pregnant whilst on your period, but how is this possible? how can a fertilised egg implant into the uterine lining when there isnt any? and how can you menstrate just after you have already menstrated?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think you can get pregnant while menstruating, but I'm not sure.

  33. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant if your on your period AND he pulled out?
    me and my boyfriend had sex, im three days into my period and he pulled out before he ejaculated, i know neither of these are affective as a way to avoid pregnancy on their own but i was wondering if it was just a slimmer chance of me getting pregnant.
    i am under 18 so cannot get the morning after pill over the counter.

  38. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant on your period?
    me and my boyfriend had sex on my period and he came in me two times...what are the chances of getting pregnant....
    i want to get pregnant...this would be my second pregnancy if i conceive...thank you for any answers...

    • ANSWER:
      although you can get pregnat on your period, its a lower chance. usually what happens is that sperm stays inside the body for up to 4 days before dieing, and if you ovulate very soon after your period ( this happens a lot when women bleed for many days, bc ovulation usually occurs 14 days after the first day of your period, and some women bleed over a week) so they dont realize how close to ovulation they are. if i were you and trying to conceive, i would count about half way through my cycle and start having sex, it depends on how many days between your periods, mine is usually 30 days so about 15 days after my period starts is when i would try. best of luck to you,

  39. QUESTION:
    what is the possibility of getting pregnant on your last two days of your period?
    I had unprotected sex and am not sure if I should worry to much about being pregnant or not. I usually get my period around the 10 and it last for six days and from the begining of one period to the begining of the next is almost exactly a month.

    • ANSWER:
      It's low but it can happen. As you have a regular cycle it's less likely

  40. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant during your "period pills" week?
    I started my period on January 15 and ended on January 19. I had sex on January 18th not on my active pills. I don't actually take the last week of pills because they are placebo pills anyway. What are the chances of me being pregnant because I had sex when I wasn't on my active pills? It would be unplanned, but not really unwanted.

    • ANSWER:
      It's very slim, sperm can live up to five days in a woman. If you ovulate early there would be a small chance of getting pregnant. Typically a woman ovulates 14 days before getting your period, but a cycle is not completely predictable.

  41. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant and getting your period?

    what is more possible getting pregnant or have your period and not get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      No chance. You cannot have your period during pregnancy, You can have bleeding that looks like a period, but it isn't.

  42. QUESTION:
    Is there a greater/lower risk of getting pregnant on your period while having sex?

    • ANSWER:
      im pretty sure its a lower risk but then again there is always a chance!

  43. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:

  45. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of getting pregnant while on your period with Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO birth control?
    Can someone tell me the chances of getting pregnant on the last day of your period while on Ortho Tri-cyclen LO. Please serious answers only... I start back the active pills today.. thanks.. SERIOUS ANSWERS only..Please

    • ANSWER:
      When used correctly, hormonal birth control is about 99% effective (typically 95% because most people don't use it correctly). And that includes the week that you get your period, when you are off the pills, or taking the placebos.

      You have a period during that week because the estrogen and progesterone you have been inundating your body with the previous three weeks is no longer in your body. That stimulates your body to shed the uterine lining (progesterone maintains that lining). There is no egg, because estrogen is at an all time low during this off-pill week.

      Chances of a pregnancy are very very low.

Getting Pregnant On Period

10 Ways To Increase Chances of Getting Pregnant - Improve Your Fertility and Don't Waste More Time!
Looking for methods to increase chances of getting pregnant? Look no more, because here are ten easy ways to improve your fertility.

First, consult your doctor. Aside from giving you his professional advice, your doctor can also recommend prenatal vitamins, like folic acid supplements, which can save your baby from having serious birth defects.

Second, stop taking pills as soon as you can. You will probably have an irregular cycle for a few months after withdrawing from using contraception. Additionally, you will probably be fertile only after a month of stopping.

Third, find out when your ovulation date is. Take advantage of your most fertile days by trying for a baby then. There are approximately seven days when you are considered most fertile.

Fourth, start eating healthy and get yourself into good shape. Research shows that underweight and overweight women have less chances of conceiving right away.
Fifth, stop smoking and doing drugs. Both vices are not only unhealthy for you, but they can also seriously damage your baby. These can also cause you to have premature births and miscarriages, in addition to possibly having a low-weight baby.

Sixth, reduce your caffeine and alcohol intake. Caffeine may cause you to have a stillbirth, and alcohol may poison your baby. There are no universally agreed "safe levels" for both substances, though it is probably better be more conscious by abstaining entirely from both, if you can.

Seventh, try using sexual positions that will increase chances of getting pregnant by allowing your partner to deposit the sperm as close to the cervix as possible. Examples of these include the missionary position and rear-entry positions.

Eighth, encourage your partner to increase him sperm count by wearing loose, cotton boxers, which allow the testicles to become cooler and produce more sperm. You should also discourage him from taking hot baths and going to saunas, which can lower his sperm count.

Ninth, encourage your partner to live a healthier lifestyle as well. Not only will this improve his sperm count and the quality of his sperm, but it will also prevent the baby from having birth defects as well.

Tenth, try not to stress yourself out. Even if you do all you can to increase chances of getting pregnant, you will probably still end up waiting a little. Relax. This is normal. As long as everything is going well, you can and will conceive a baby.

Obese Women Getting Pregnant - Help For Overweight Ladies Who Are Trying To Conceive
Obese Women Conceiving a kid - Help For Obese Women Who Are Trying To Conceive

Aside from the various health perils caused by being obese such as diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke, women have to deal with more immediate health concerns such as problems involved in successfully getting pregnant. Obesity is defined as the state of being twenty percent above your normal weight. Obesity can decrease one's likelihood of getting pregnant because of the hormones going awry. One of the commonly experienced health problems is polycystic disease, which causes erratic ovulation. nonetheless, there are lots of obese women becoming pregnant.
The first thing to do is to consult an obstetrician or gynecologist to determine the extent of how obesity has affected your likelihood of getting pregnant. A series of diagnostic tests need to be conducted specifically on your reproductive system to determine what is hindering you from conceiving a baby. It is especially common for pregnant women to have irregular menstruation because fat cells also produce estrogen resulting in overproduction.

You also have to embark on a journey toward losing weight, which involves taking in the correct quality of nutrients in a quantity which is lesser than what you require. Therefore, it is important for obese women getting pregnant to go for nutrient-rich foods with low calories such as fiber.

Engage in rigorous activity; nonetheless, be sure not to overdo it in order not to cause fatigue, which can be detrimental. It would be better if you enroll in a professional program to maximise the results. In addition, there are also many successful obese women conceiving a kid because of regular intake of herbal supplements, which help in stabilizing the condition of the reproductive tract.

  6. QUESTION:
    Trying to get pregnant. What are the frist symptoms and when I start getting them?
    My husband and I are ttc and I was wondering when will I start getting pregnancy symptoms and what are the early symptoms? I ovulated five days ago and Iam suppose to start my period in a week from now. When does implantation a occur and will i know? I hate playing the waiting game. I hope Iam pregnant. We both wont a baby bad. Plus any advice to help my chances of implantation occuring? plz help.

    • ANSWER:
      Implantation can take 6-12 days from sex.. It usually takes 3 days or so before the sperm even meets the egg.

      The first signs are identical to PMS.. sore breasts, fatigue, crampiness, back and headaches, etc... The best sign is a missed period.

      You won't get the classic pregnancy symptoms until after you miss your period though...

      For most women, morning sickness does not start until 7-9 weeks, as well as the frequent urination. Hormones cause all of the classic symptoms and there usually are not enough until 7-9 weeks.. It's different for everyone though.. some get it before then, some get it after then, some never get them at all.

  8. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant with having sex three times a day without protection?
    I had a miscarriage june 8th, so we're back to the trying game. when i got pregnant we had sex 3 times a day every day. if we do that again what are my chances of getting pregnant again?

    • ANSWER:
      The idea that having sex every other day is better for conception, is out dated. Recent research has shown that, for a normal couple where the man has no sperm quantity issues sex ONCE PER DAY in the days leading up to ovulation, and on the day of ovulation is the best way to become pregnant. Having sex more frequently than once per day is not suggested. having sex on the days leading up to ovulation is also a good idea because you want to keep the sperm fresh.

      good luck to you becoming pregnant again. Remember it can take a healthy, fertile, couple many months to achieve a pregnancy. Your best bet is to pinpoint your ovulation time if you are not already doing so. Your chances of pregnancy per cycle sort of depend on your age. If you and your partner are under 25 .. then its pretty safe to say that you have a 25% chance of getting pregnant assuming that your timing was good and sperm met egg. I think in your late 20's and early 30's the chance is about 15 % per cycle. it goes down slightly after that.

      you might want to try www.fertilityfriend.com to help you figure out your fertile time.

      good luck and have fun. Im very sorry for your pregnancy loss.

    Whats going on? Pregnant? Mind games? I NEED TO KNOW!?
    My period was supposed to come on the 14th instead I got "spotting" on the 13th that ended on the 15th. I thought the spotting was going to be followed up by my period, but it wasn't. I am now 6 going on 7 days late. *My period is always on time* I took a $ store test yesterday it was negative, I refuse to buy another.. Even if it was a dollar.. Anywhoo I've been having chest, and back pain. My leg hurts also, but that's irrelevant !

    I was wondering if the spotting was implantation bleeding, and if I just didn't have enough of that hormone in my urine. 10 days after implantation is when you are supposed to test right? Well if that's so I should test on the 23rd if my period doesn't show up, correct? I don't know.. Plus I think it's all in my head my ex's, ex's told me he can't have kids, and I've never been pregnant before. I don't know please someone give me advice, or at least an answer... Something!! BTW I haven't been stressed or changed my diet or anything. I've been pretty happy lately.

    • ANSWER:
      You are supposed to wait at least 7-10 days after your missed period is what my dr always told me...good luck...i hope it all works out...btw...it could have very well been implantation bleeding and it may just be a little to early to find out :)

    Just a while ago, I read an online article that some few thousand condoms will be produced and given to young athletes in the 2010 Youth Olympic Games? And many of these athletes are still minors...

    Are they trying to prevent AIDS from spreading or something? Or to prevent their athletes from getting pregnant during the games?

      You basically have it right to prevent the spread of STD'S ( they don't narrow it down to just AIDS but all sexually transmitted diseases ) also to prevent unplanned pregnancies after all many of the athletes even in youth games are sexually active.

    and finally ur favourite memory while pregnant? the first baby bump it was so tiny i was so proud..
    the day my son started to lift my shirt to see my belly and rubbed it saying baby...

    any funny or sweet things u wanna add too would be great..HDH

    • ANSWER:
      Crave the most: Mexican food and ice cream (separate lol) with my first. Looking the same with this one too, even though I am only 11 weeks. But also add gummy bears to the list.

      Couldn't eat at all: My boyfriend makes this Stouffer's stir fry with beef and broccoli. I had it before I was pregnant and loved it, but now the smell even when opening the freezer door just makes me so sick!

      Smelled the worst: Probably my 17 months old diapers when he goes number 2. I can always 'detect' it right away lol.

      Smelled the best: Mashed potatoes, the fresh air outside, body wash

      Made you cry the most: I have been watching these really lame family movies that I liked a lot when I was a kid and teenager. And I tear up at all the emotional or happy parts.

      Silly thing irritating you: When I was pregnant with my first, I told my boyfriend he ruined my birthday when I was 8 months pregnant, because he accidentally dropped the container my cupcakes were in. I felt like the smeared frosting ruined the whole cupcake, hahaha.

      What you loved: Everything (minus the morning sickness), besides my occasional bursts or crazy pregnant emotional moments, I was a really happy pregnant person!

      What my other half did to irritate you: He enjoyed "chasing" me in my last couple months of pregnancy. He thought it was really funny watching me awkwardly run, or waddle. He would chase me fast enough so I could feel his hands behind me, but slow enough where he could keep it going.

      What other half did that was sweet: Every night in the last couple months I would have to get up to pee like 2 or 3 times in the night. So he would always get up first to help me up, and would wait outside the bathroom door for me. Our bedroom was downstairs, and the bathroom was up a small flight of steps. So he insisted he went everytime so I wouldn't fall up or down the steps.

      Favorite memory when pregnant: Starting from about the 3rd trimester and up I had a lot of fun talking with boyfriend about how our son may turn out. We both hoped he would be a silly little boy, instead of being more serious. Be careful what you wish for, because now I am stuck with a 17 month old little comedian lol. He has a great sense of humor and is always making every one smile.

  18. QUESTION:

  19. QUESTION:
    What are some good party games for a pregnant girl's sweet 16?
    So my sweet 16 is coming up in the beginning of October! (:
    I will be almost 5 month pregnant, what are some fun things my friends and i could do? My party was originally going to be at the beach for the weekend and my mom was going to rent 5 hotel rooms at a really nice hotel. But now since I'm pregnant, I don't really like going to the beach, weird i know. So instead I'm having a pool party, and a sleep over. So far 12 girls will be there and 9 guys. What are some good games or fun things to do? I come from a very wealthy family so there is really no budget. Also, last year when i turned 15, i got my brand new Lexus hybrid but i want to trade it in and get something else, my mom is okay with it but what do you think i should get? I don't really like cars that are built for racing. Any idea's?

    ( Before you answer, My boyfriend and I are very happy I'm pregnant, were keeping the baby no matter what, we are engaged and plan on getting married next June. I'm not on welfare so don't try to criticize me. It really does not concern you.)
    No, I'm not a troll. It's a serious question. I would like serious answers please.

    • ANSWER:
      Congrats :)
      When I turned 20 I was like 7 months pregnant. I got a angle food cake with strawberries, Vanilla ice cream, the whole 10 yards(and no, I'm not a fatty, I'm 115 now). I would personally still go to the beach. I was outside constantly when I was pregnant. I'm sure you look just fine. I tried to do most of the stuff I did before. Just as long as its safe :) I even played Black light lazer tag. Just dont run and peek around corners.

      Get a family car(don't get a van though, you'll look silly with 3 passengers, lol) and hybrids are really important for the environment. If California's gone to the extent to band Styrofoam and plastic grocery bags, I say its a VARY important time to try and be more green :)

      Ramble ramble, hahaha. Any who, have a great sweet 16.

      P.S

    Am I pregnant or is my mind playing games?
    Saturday me and my boyfriend tried to conceive, sunday i got my period and was'nt supposed to get it till wednesday. I ususally get my period very heavy and for nine days. This week i only had it for 4 day and it was i was just spotting but had abdomen pain, headaches, dizzy, weak, fatigue, cravings and nausea, but as the week went by i have less symptoms. I took a home test and it was negative. Whats wrong with me? what should I do?

    • ANSWER:
      As you have had your period the likelihood of you being pregnant is not high.
      You possibly just had a wog that made you feel that way that you did! To get pregnant you need to have sex roughly in the middle of your cycle ie. 28day cycle around 12-16 day you will be ovulating.
      Remember when you are anxious and stressed your periods can be affected. They can go haywire and play tricks especially when we don't want them to. Relax and enjoy your time together making your baby. :)
      Take care and hope your wishes come true soon.

    Has anyone had problems getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I had a natural miscarriage on July 15th and its been 7 weeks without a period I know I am not pregnant. I know it is natural that people go through miscarriages but I had been trying for 9 months before I got pregnant and I hate the waiting game already. My doctor told me to go in around the middle of September but how long has it taken you to get your period back after a miscarriage? I know if I don't get it by September I one way to start my period is back to birthcontrol but I really don't want to go back to that since my system was messed up for 8 months. Can anyone give me their story or any advice please I am desperate. Thank you to all

    Anyways this month we had lots of sex around ovulation. A week ago I had some pains in my side and abdomen but for 1 day. I have no signs of period, every once in while in last day i get very very mild cramp but not a lot. I have a increase in discharge this month up to last week it was clear, and then it stopped couple days. I had 1 day (like fri or sat) with white cm. And today i noticed it was clear again and one point it was thin milky colored. I have had constant headaches. And today my boobs are starting to get little sore but not big deal. this evening they throbbed a little but stopped. I also threw up on thurs and sun morning (not sure if it was nerves of the events that day or what), the other day i was sensitive to smell of BBQ sauce and...

      Your symptoms sound pretty good as far as your chances for a pregnancy. Sounds like you did the deed at the right time. Unfortunately there's no way to really know since most symptoms are also the symptoms for menstruation. However, if you ARE pregnant, flying is ok for now. Like you said it though, take a test already!

    her? My Cousin is 18 and she has never worked, has a lisience but no car, graduated high school in June but sence has no plans to go any further. She lives in the Projects but there nicer ones in a small town and most people that live there still work somewhere, but her parents dont and never have, there on disability. She doesn't know how to cook, clean, do laundry nothing. She has a boyfriend who works but has no eduacation and they started having sex. The boyfriend is very disrespectful to her parents and has gotten in her mothers face, she has a absolutly horrible spoiled brat attitude and when the mother tryes to stop her from seeing him she runs away to live with him. The mother tryed to get her on the pill but after recently looking at her computer the mother saw IM's between the boyfriend and my cousin saying she wasn't going to take the pill and all about getting pregnant and stuff! I've talked to her, screamed at her, everything possible besides a good punch in the face. My aunts calling me daily crying and I dont know how to help.

I have a similar cousin who had her first child at 17 and has all sorts of social/behavioural problems. I have had to distance myself from her because I can't bear seeing the way she and her family (which now include four kids, 25 fish, a lizard and 3 cats - none of which are adequately cared for) live. All you can really do hope to whatever god or force you want the she or her boyfriend is sterile...

  42. QUESTION:
    How come sitting up on my bed causes my legs and feet to fall asleep? Pregnant I thought blood flow was better?
    when pregnant? lol I play games on my laptop at night when hubby's sleeping and my feet and legs keep falling asleep.. I got so used to the feeling of them being asleep that I went to use the restroom and nearly fell to the floor!

    So if blood flows more when pregnant.. why do my limbs fall asleep to much faster and easier?

    25 weeks pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      bloodflow is worse when pregnant hence the risk of swollen feet and ankles etc
      altho you have your legs straight out when using the laptop in bed, your feet are still not elevated and your babys weight is causing strain on them - try using a pillow or two under your feet and a pillow behind your back and see if that helps
      during the day if you have a sit down job try having your feet elevated as much as possible, when im at home in the evening I put my feet up on the coffee table and also put a couple of cushions there for more comfort. I cant sit any other way now even when im eating dinner lol

    Why is it when teen girls get pregnant they think its all fun and games?
    I'm a teen myself but my so called best friend is 2 month pregnant by some a guy thats 3 times her age she don't know the guys first name he has 3 kids already and a wife and she says that he promises to help her out when he is moving soon I don't even see that happening she is 17 and I'm 15 I may be best friends with her but some reason I look smarter right now.

    • ANSWER:
      Okay well let me start off with that you really are the smarter one and even though you are two years younger than her you are definatly the more mature one. It really is not all fun and games and no offence but your "best friend" seems like a real idiot to me, but no offense. I say this because she actually believe that a man that is three times older than her and that has a wife is going to throw it all away for some seventeen year old teenage girl. She thinks that having a baby is going to be the greatest thing that can happen to her along with a man that she believes that will help her, taking care of a baby is a huge responsibilty and not an easy thing to do. If she likes going out and partying than sorry but that ship just sailed along with the rest of her life and if she is interested into going to college than life is goign to be way harder.

  2. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant over 40?
    i am 46 and i recently had a miscarriage at 7 weeks. My husband and i are still going to try for another baby. When i ask questions about pregnancy over 40 all i get is negative responces. Has anyone got any good outcomes over 40. We want aa baby very bad we have been married 2 years my husband is a US Marine and i am a nurse. We were only trying 2 months before we got pregnant before. I am so tired of hearing over 35 and you will have a child that has defects. I am sure somewhere out there is a possitive outcome.

    • ANSWER:
      my aunt had a baby at 42. her son is now 8 years old and healthy as a horse. she does find it hard to keep up with him. he was not planned, but she loves him dearly.

  3. QUESTION:
    Do you know anyone who got pregnant over 40 and had a healthy baby?
    Do you know anyone who got pregnant over 40 and had a healthy baby?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, my aunt just had her 4th child at 43. My boyfriends mother had him at 49. My friends grandmother had twins at 55. I know a few more but you see where Im going. All the children were born with clean bills of health and remain healthy. It really is just a case by case situation though. The risk of birth defects increase after 35 I believe but that doesnt mean it is impossible to have a healthy child well after that.

  4. QUESTION:
    any women get pregnant over 40 here? Did it take 4eva for you 2 get pregnant?
    My new husband and I want to have a child or two and I'm 40 and just need to hear how some of you felt or feel about it.

    • ANSWER:
      I was 38 when my first was born and 42 when my third was born. The way I felt at the time was that if I was going to have a family I better get to it before I went through the change of life.

      So we did have a difficult time at first. It turns out that we were trying too hard. We were trying every moring and every evening. We then discovered that it takes time for a mans sperm count to get up to workable content between love making sessions. My husband had talked to a friend at work who had 11 kids. He told him for me to mark the calendar on the first day of my period, then 21 days after that day begins 'pregnant week'. We were to make love with me on the bottom and he would stay there for a while afterwards to make sure the sperm got all the way in there. It takes at least 36 hours for a mans sperm count to get back up to working content. So during the 'pregnant week', we would only make love at least 36 hours apart. After we tried thus method, I got pregnant and it worked for the next 2 babies as well.

      Hope this helps.

  5. QUESTION:
    Is it unhealthy to be PREGNANT OVER 40???
    My mom is pregnant and she is 38 and shes due in october.. someone said that women over 40 have a higher risk in getting their child defects and is very unhealthy and may be consiquences!
    is this true??

    • ANSWER:
      Yes Dr.'s say that the risk of birth defects go up after 40 but more and more woman are having babys after 40 now. My stepmom got pregnant at 43 and my little brother is smart as a whip and way cute so I think that it just has to do with the person. Just like teens that get pregnant they have a pretty high chance of birth defects as well.

  6. QUESTION:
    if you get pregnant over 40, will there be problems with the baby?
    Like Down's Syndrome or other problems such as disfigurements?

    • ANSWER:
      The older you get the more chance there is of the baby having a problem. This is simply just due to the eggs aging.
      Downs syndrome is common when the parents are older.. but dont worry just make sure you get regular checks during pregnancy.

  7. QUESTION:
    hi, do you know anyone who got pregnant over 40 NATURALLY (no meds, no ivf)?
    i need some inspiration please :( we've been tested nothing wrong, i don't want ivf or meds, but i will use herbs. Thank you and God Bless everyone who is trying to convince!!

    • ANSWER:
      I wasn't over 40, but I did conceive naturally at 38 and then again at 39.............after 7 years of TTC and 3+ years of failed fertility treatment. We were diagnosed as "unexplained infertility" and after I turned 36 they tacked on "with age factor." I never planned on being an "older" mom, but I guess it was just meant to be that way.......we conceived our first they very cycle after an early miscarriage and our second was conceived on our second month trying. 7 years in my late 20's/early 30's didn't work, but two tries at 39 was the ticket!

      My cousin had an "oops" when she was 42.

      Best of luck to you!

  8. QUESTION:

  11. QUESTION:
    Does being pregnant over the age of 40 automatically put you "high risk" and if so, can you fly?
    We´re invited to a wedding May 24th, and now, we´re trying to get pregnant. I´m 44, and don´t know if I would automatically be "high risk." If you´re "high risk" are you allowed to fly? We would have to fly overseas.

    • ANSWER:
      Being over 40 usually does mean you are high risk, and it usually means that you will need more monitoring. As for flying, you would have to discuss that with your doctor: Here are the basics of flying while pregnant:

      You are safe to travel by plane from the beginning of your pregnancy all the way up until the end portion of your last trimester (usually 9th month - 36 weeks) and can manage what ever kind of trip(s) you want to do as long as you and your pregnancy are healthy and the pregnancy is progressing normally. As long as everything is fine, air travel does NOT increase the risk of miscarriage or pre-term labor, and poses no other risks to you or your child.

      You need to get a check-up from your doctor to make sure that you are in fit enough health, and that the pregnancy is healthy enough to allow for you to fly. Many airlines will require a medical certificate from your doctor dated 24-72 hours before your flight once you reach your third trimester (27 weeks). By the time you reach your eighth month (32 weeks) almost all airlines will require a doctors note.

      All airlines make up their own rules and regulations regarding pregnant women. Some do not restrict travel at all, no matter what stage of pregnancy a women is in, and others start to restrict at 7 months, although the majority restrict around 36 weeks.

      FAA Airline regulations state :

      Obstetrical patients are free to fly, but pose a significant risk in later stages of precipitating delivery during flight. Pregnancy past 32 weeks should be carefully considered for restriction from flight and must be accompanied with an authorization note from a doctor. Those past 36 weeks should be prohibited from flying unless personally accompanied by their doctor. (Taken from my husbands flight security and survival manual & FAA site)

      While traveling I advise you to keep your medical records, and the name and number of your doctor. You should also get the name and number of a doctor where you will be staying/visiting in case an emergency comes up.

      To keep yourself safe and comfortable on the trip, follow these simple things:

      *drink plenty of water
      *avoid caffeine
      *don't eat food that causes gas for at least one day before you travel (pressure builds up as you ascend through the altitudes and could cause pain)
      *walk around as much as you can (up and down the aisles)
      *stretch while sitting
      *wear loose fitting clothing
      *wear slip on shoes (your feet may swell)
      *wear maternity support pantyhose or socks
      *try to get an aisle seat or a front row seat for more leg room
      *eat light foods
      *eat small meals or snacks at frequent intervals rather than big heavy meals
      *do not eat salt
      *Wear your seat belt just under your abdomen (depending on how big you are, you can also ask for a seat belt extender - just be sure that that too goes under your abdomen)
      *relax

      I traveled internationally (14+ hours each way) this summer while pregnant. I left when I was 13 weeks and returned when I was around 30 weeks. I also did another short (3 hours each way) international trip (left at 32 weeks and returned at 34 weeks). My daughter was born 23 December and is perfectly healthy and happy. I have also traveled internationally at various stages with my first two pregnancies (my children are now 8&5).

      I wrote an article about traveling while pregnant. It gives more in-depth information if you'd like to reference it: http://jamiehassen79.angelfire.com/pregnant_travel.html

  12. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds about right. I'm sure you're going to get lots of different numbers on here =) The risk of almost everything goes up after 35 including miscarriage, stillbirth, downs... etc

  13. QUESTION:
    over 40 weeks pregnant now! is walking a proven fact to help induce labour and is castor oil safe?
    also, not very nice but throughout my pregnancy i was very constipated and for the last few days im never off the loo, is my body getting prepared??

  14. QUESTION:
    40 weeks pregnant and over due what should i stock up on?
    i'm over due and pretty miserable. What signs should i look for that labor is near? i'm only 2 cm dilated. Also what should i stock up on before the baby gets here for the house and for myself. i already have everything for the baby.

    • ANSWER:
      There a ton of signs... but sometimes there isn't time to notice the signs. You should walk around a lot and watch for contractions.
      Stock up on favorite meals that you can freeze to make things easier on you when you bring baby home. And just make sure that everything is going to be comfortable for you after giving birth. Like for me, I set up the living room differently so that I felt more comfortable coming home. I wanted the house clean before I came home also. Good Luck!!!

  16. QUESTION:
    i am 40 weeks pregnant and over it..are there signs to look for to let me know im getting close?

    • ANSWER:
      I guarantee, you are getting close!
      Relax, meditate, enjoy the peace now. After the baby, you won't get much "Me" time
      You will notice that your Braxton Hicks are getting more frequent, but everyone has different signs.
      I wanted to eat more, but didn't have the room.
      I know you are so done being pregnant, the 40 week mark was the worst!
      Keep in mind too that if you are getting close to 42 weeks, they will want to talk about a C-section, because at that point, the baby needs to come.
      I was 2 1/2 weeks late, and he wouldn't come out. They started prepping me for a C-section, and I completely broke down, sobbing, and that triggered labor.
      You never know what will do it.
      Also, we have a pizza place in town that serves a "prego pizza" and it's said to trigger labor. It just is an everything pizza with garlic.
      I know I didn't really answer your question, but I hope I've helped you feel better. It will be over before you know it.
      Cherish that moment that they put that little baby on your tummy... It makes these last few weeks SO worth it!
      HAPPY PUSHING!

  17. QUESTION:
    what foods to eat to get pregnant when your over 40 years old?

    • ANSWER:
      The only thing you can do is to make sure you're healthy. And that would be eating a balanced diet. But there are no specific foods that boost fertility.

      If you're unsure about your reproductive health,talk to your Gynecologist/OB.

  18. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant the first time that the condom came off. I'm over 40 and my periods
    are usually between 25-28 days apart (they vary) I am pretty sure that my last period was on 11-29 or 11-30. I am soo worried - don't want any more kids at this stage of my life.

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry to tell you-I got pregnant at 43 and 44 and my husband lost one testicle to cancer. (I did miscarry both times, though). Supposedly women over 40 have less than a 1% chance of getting pregnant in a month where they are TRYING, but I managed it twice using foam.

      I think you will just have to wait the two weeks and see! Good luck!

      And Kayla-speaking of wisdom- many women over 40 are advised NOT to be on the Pill, and if they are smokers, absolutely are not supposed to be on the Pill. My family history is such that the Pill is not an option.

  19. QUESTION:

  20. QUESTION:
    I am a little over 40 weeks pregnant?
    and i dont want to be medically induced, because it scares me. My baby is over 8 lbs. and perfectly healthy, he just dosnt want to come out. I havent lost my mucus plug, I am dialated to 1cm, and i am barely having any contractions. Does anyone know what will work to get the ball rolling?

    only serious answers please.

    • ANSWER:
      Walking will increase the chances for dilating. You can also have some sex before you actually have your baby. You won't have sex for while when the baby is born. So might as will enjoy it now. But for real you can try some walking.

    • ANSWER:
      as long as her doctor approves it.. but go for it. my sis had her first baby aftr 40, i was born when my mom was 45.

  23. QUESTION:
    My mother is over 40 and pregnant?
    I might sound like an ass h.o.le but it was a mistake.

    Why?

    She didn't know she was pregnant ( 2 Months) until the day before yesterday and she never expected this to happen. She looked a little disappointed and so did my father, but its their f.u.c.k.i.n.g fault.
    None of us would've thought she was pregnant because she ate stuff she wasn't supposed to, she went up and down stairs, she had pain and my dad had to take her to the hospital, she gets really angry over stupid sh!t, and she drank stuff she wasn't supposed to.

    But she never knew she was pregnant.

    And besides, we would always joke around because ever since her surgery she has a 'watermelon' tummy and we would always ask, " Mom, are you pregnant?"
    And she says, " Ask me that again and I'll smack you."

    I'm not being self centered.
    Every child is a blessing, a gift, w/e I know, but our family has 5 little gifts and we cant afford another.
    I'm just pissed that this child is a mistake ( and that's what they think too) because she insisted she wasn't having any more kids after her surgery on her intestines or w/e. She told everyone she was happy with her 4 kids but no, she had to get pregnant. We can't afford another child. It's a family of 7.

    She ate sea food yesterday, and I heard a pregnant woman isn't supposed to eat that.
    She goes up and down stairs.
    She still does housework when we're at school/work rather than waiting for us to do it for her.

    I'm really worried. Help?
    Why in the world would I be jealous?
    I'm 16.
    I don't play/have/ share with toys.
    I tutor kids extracurriculy and earn .
    No one really pays attention to me and sometimes I just waste my breath.
    I spend most of my time outside now a days.
    And you think I'm jealous of a 2 month old fetus?
    By the time the child is 10, I'll be 26 and living on my own.

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like you're just jealous.
      Some seafood is fine during pregnancy, others are ok in moderation, some should be completely avoided.
      Housework is fine unless she's been put on bed rest. It's exercise, which is good for both her and the baby.
      If she is having a hard time adjusting, shouldn't you be helping her? So what if she's pregnant, what would you have her do about it? She may not want an abortion, in that case, there's nothing else she can do but wait to feel happy about it. No point in complaining about what's already happened.
      You sound so selfish. Your parents are probably freaking out right now and instead of assuring them that you will help with a new baby, and that you support them, you're complaining about it.

  24. QUESTION:
    Over 40, Overweight, blocked fallopian tube - getting pregnant?
    I have an adult daughter from a previous marriage. My dh and I have been together 8 years and I'm now 40. I am obese, although active and healthy otherwise (no high blood pressure, no diabetes, etc.). About 4 months ago a 'tumor' was discovered on one fallopian tube - turns out to just be water (I think hydrosalpinx). My dh and I have been having 'unprotected' sex for 3 year now, not pregnant yet. My dh does not want to go to any extreme measures to become pregnant, so no fertility specialists. I would love to have one (or two) children with my dh, we have a perfect life for sharing with children. So, other than the regular exercise and steady weight loss I'm working on, is there anything else I could/should be doing? Should I be giving up? Is the risk to the baby's health too great?
    We are looking at becoming foster parents, perhaps we'll end up growing our family that way.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

  25. QUESTION:
    im a little over 40 weeks pregnant, and theres blood?
    i just went to the restroom and when i cleaned myself i noticed blood. there wasnt an excessive amount but not that little. what does this mean? ive also been feeling like cramp feelings around my lower back and stomach and i noticed almost about every 8 mins i get a stronger feeling of a cramp on my lower stomach. ANSWERS PLEASE! FIRST CHILD

    • ANSWER:
      First stage of labor.. Go get checked to see if you have dilated at all. Dont wait any longer. And the cramps are contractions. They may send you home if your not in active labor (4 cm dilated or more hospital will admit you) Blood is a very sure sign of labor so good luck and get to the hospital.

      You should check things out with a specialist. Here is a good one Dr. Kao and Dr. Smikle

      Women over 40 have had babies, but there comes a lot of risk with have a baby over the age of 35. Like egg quality, but I'm pretty sure these excellent specialist can give you the answers you are looking for!

  27. QUESTION:
    Is it Possible to Get Pregnant at 40 and Over?

    • ANSWER:
      Though at 40 women are at the brink of menopause, it is still possible to get pregnant at this advanced age and be able to conceive healthy babies. However, the body of a woman at 40 is considered less virile and prone to infertility, and with a higher degree of the possibility of developing complications.
      Pregnancy after the fortieth year is rather sensitive and requires constant medical examination and feedback from therapists. Ante natal services are given to mothers who have children at this age in forums where they discuss the individual and general characteristics of late conception. This is because the body system has changed and milk flow may have been reduced. The sessions also show the special needs of nursing and parenting, eating of special diet that nurtures the baby as well as helps the mother recover her health
      Believe me, Getting pregnant at 40 or more is not that hard if you know how the things work. You can get valuable information in this source.

  28. QUESTION:
    Is it really true that if you try to get pregnant at 40 and over it is more difficult...?
    My husband and I want to have a child. I am 38, he is 40. He has never had a child before and I want to be able to give him a child of his own. I have had two other children before, no problems at all, natural childbirth. My mentrual cycle is normal, no problems. I had precancerous condition (stage 3) that I had taken care of a year and 1/2 ago. Everything is normal now.

    I didn't have any trouble at all getting pregnant with the other two...When I went off the pill to get pregnant I was pregnant within 4 weeks each time. That was about 8 years ago.

    Is it true that it takes longer to get pregnant the older the mother is?
    I am wondering if I will have any trouble this time.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, your chances of getting pregnant any given month decline after 35 and even more sharply after 40. You might have to try for many months, a year or longer, even if you are ovulating. To see if you're ovulating regularly, you can get some ovulation predictor tests from the drugstore and use them as directed. You can also go to your ob/gyn for a "preconception" checkup to see if everything is ok. They will probably do a blood and urine test on day 3 of your cycle to check the hormone levels which indicate if your ovarian reserve is good or beginning to decline. They may also order a pelvic ultrasound to see if your uterus and ovaries look normal.

    • ANSWER:

  31. QUESTION:
    lookn for pregnant moms over due only!?
    hey im over 40 weeks and am just lookn for some support i alredy have a set of twins and a set of triplets under the age of 5 it's getting really hard to take care of them! doc said he'll induce me next week! how will i do it! i feel like **** and just want to deliver already! its not that im not excited over the pregnancy its just that im worn out and have tried EVERYTHING! anybody else in the same position!?

    • ANSWER:
      This must be much different for you than your other pregnancies, I imagine, which probably affects you even more. You said you had twins and triplets - they don't usually go to 40 weeks. the waiting game is so hard, I know. you don't have to do the induction if you don't feel good about it - it's okay and very normal to go past 41 weeks, especially if this is your first vaginal birth (only a guess - because you have multiples and they're often delivered by c-section). The waiting game sucks, I'm with you on that.

  32. QUESTION:
    I am morbidly obese, over 40, with several blood clotting factors, is it wise to get pregnant, being pressured?
    1st pregnancy delivered at 39(baby fine delivered early due to creeping blood pressure), was same weight and blood clotting factors,also had gestational diabetes controlled with Glucophage and diet, but now I have Hashimoto's disease. I don't want to get pregnant, by my husband is pressuring me because everything went smoothly with 1st high risk pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      I won't try for another child I were you. You have one child that you need to make sure that you are around for. And it seems that being pregnant would put your life at risk. I have only one clotting disorder and when I got pregnant with my second, I was a bit scared. And I was 35, and in good health otherwise.

      If I were you I would try to talk to my husband about the importance of your family. Your family as it is now. The three of you are a family. And your health is important to maintain that family. And if that doesn't work, then perhaps have a doctor or nurse discuss things with him to try to discourage him.

  33. QUESTION:
    I am over 40. 2 weeks pregnant and going to be induced on tuesday. Is it necessary for me to get a bassinet?
    I have been given advice by everyone, lots of mothers, who have said they are a good idea and others who say they are a waste of money. I want the baby close to me at night, and I have a pack and play, but our apt. bedroom is so small and my husband thinks a bassinet would be a waste of money. He says the baby will be fine in her own room with a monitor beside her. (This coming from a man who I had to convince to even get a monitor)..Will a baby be fine sleeping in her nursery right after birth or is it better for mommy and baby to have her in the bedroom close by?

    • ANSWER:
      If you have a pack n play, use that! I used ours for the first two months with our daughter. Our bedroom is really small and it was cramped in there having that and all our bedroom stuff. But that was a gift to us and I didn't want to spend money no a bassinet. If you can squeeze it in the bedroom use that. If you don't have any pets or anything, a laundry basket would be a good alternative! It takes up less room than the pack n play and is easier to move from room to room. They are so little when they are born so it wouldn't be very heavy to move. Good luck!!

  37. QUESTION:
    Over due and thinking about getting my membranes stripped. Any advice?
    I'm a little over 40 weeks pregnant with my 1st child. Last Wednesday, I was 2 cm dialated, 70% effaced and his head is low and engaged. I get mild "menstrual-like" cramping and a little bit of lower back pain. I get excited thinking "hey, this may be early labor" then it goes away.It seems like I've done everything to try to get him to come. Walking, hitting trigger points, some way drink pineapple juice and I've ate spicy food. I know there is no proof that these work but I was willing to try them out. Now that I know that they did not work for me.

    I got an appt with my midwife this Tuesday (if I'm still pregnant) to strip my membranes. She told me to expect some bleeding and cramping. It may or may not induce the labor. For some woman it has worked, other women have suffered with cramping and bleeding for a week before the baby decided to come.

    My question is: Has stripping of the membranes worked for anyone? Any suggestions on how to speed this process up?

    • ANSWER:
      i had that done and my water broke two day later. not sure if he just wanted to come out then or if it worked. but i think it worked because i had no symptoms of labor until a couple hours after water broke i was in hospital from midnight to 5 the next evening before i pushed him out.

  39. QUESTION:
    40 weeks; 4 days pregnant and having HORRIBLE back and pelvis pains?
    I'm over 40 weeks pregnant and for the past three days I've had the worst back pains. They can get really intense to the point where I can't talk or even really breathe through them, but then they end up dulling down a little bit. It doesn't matter weather I'm sitting or standing or laying down, they keep happening. They havent completely gone away at all but they can get worse. It almost feels like a big tightening in my back..

    I also have been experiencing a lot of pelvic pain with it too. It's not quite as bad or constant as the back pain but it comes and goes. It's nothing I can really time because it lasts for like five minutes and then goes away for a while, maybe ten or fifteen minutes and then comes back and can last another ten minutes or whatever. I've had "fake contractions" that hurt but ended up stopping, but they were more in my upper stomach, not this low.. But this pain is even worse than the contractions were. It's hard to explain exactly what it feels like but it's a mix between horrible cramping and sharp pains.

    So basically, I'm just wondering if this is normal and if it means I'm close? I'm SOOO anxious and sick of being pregnant. I cant sleep or do anything without being in pain and I just don't know what to do anymore. The back pain is constant and nothing helps. This is my first baby so I dont know what contractions feel exactly like but I'm hoping this could be the start? Please just comment and share your experiences and tell me if this sounds like back labor or what? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like back labor. Go get checked

  40. QUESTION:
    40 weeks +1 day Pregnant pains in lower back and stomach?

  41. QUESTION:
    I'm 40 weeks pregnant, just got over a stomach bug, still have diarrhea... still contagious?
    I just got a stomach bug the other day, I was vomiting about every 20 mins and also had diarrhea which all lasted about 12 hours or so. It's been about 24 hours since I started feeling a lot better, but now I just feel kind of blah and the few times I've gone to the bathroom it's been diarrhea. But nothing like before. So I don't know if I should attribute this to my hormones or still being sick. Basically what this all boils down to is that I have a grandma sick in the hospital and a friend who just had a baby last night in that same hospital and I want to go visit them but I'm not sure if I'm still contagious. I haven't gotten to see my grandma in there yet because I've been sick and I figure today would be a good day to just go and visit everyone at once but I don't want to risk getting anyone sick. What should I do?
    My boyfriend had actually had this bug a day before I got it myself, and since I also had chills when my symptoms were real bad the doc said it's probably the same bug he had. He said if it weren't for the fever then he would just assume it's prelabor.
    The farther into the day I get the more I'm noticing more pressure than usual and I'm kinda crampy on and off. Nothing to bug the doc with yet, I just wanted to add that for anyone reading now. Prelabor is starting to make sense.

    • ANSWER:
      If you still have diarrhea, I would no suggest bringing yourself around an elderly person or a new baby. They both have lower immune systems, and are more susceptible to catching whatever bug you may still have.

  42. QUESTION:

    does anyone have any ideas on when it will be ? could they say you can be induced tomora?

    • ANSWER:
      They normally let you go over your due date by 14 days, no longer. So I doubt they'll induce you tomorro! Maybe in a weeks time or so

  43. QUESTION:
    Are there any women 40 or over who are trying to get pregnant, have gotten pregnant...advice, tips?

    I am 40 and I would like to get pregnant...I am worried about the statistics of the ability to get pregnant at my age...worried that I won't be able to...or will have problems...I guess I'm just looking for women in the same situation who have had successful pregnancies at 40 or over...and if that was accomplished naturallly or through fertility treatments, etc....also, if they were healthy pregnancies or not...thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      As you probably know, fertility declines increasingly from early 30's and also the potential for problems in pregnancy increases, but this is not to scare you. However at 40 I think the only person you should seek advice from is your doctor/gynocologist.

      From 36 onwards there are a number of tests which they will advice you to take anyway if you are successful.

      I wish you much luck

  44. QUESTION:
    Important question about being on tamoxifen and getting pregnant?
    after a whole year and a half of not having my period.

    I have dated my ex boyfriend again for over 4 months.

    My gynecologist said there was no risk because of no period and I am over 40 but I am pregnant and did not know; I did a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative but now one is positive and my stomack hurts and grew.

    If I choose to have the baby will it come with an abnormality; I have been taking folic acid for over a month now; will that help?

    I would like a good opinion.

    I have been almost 2 years on tamoxifen.

    • ANSWER:
      The only person who can give you an accurate answer is your doctor. If you don't want to go to the one who told you that you couldn't get pregnant, then go to another one, but you definitely need to go.

This article will guide you through some of the things that you'll need to do in order to be more fertile. First we'll look at contraceptives, then we'll move on to some common myths about getting pregnant.

Getting Pregnant First Try

Trying to Conceive A Boy? 3 Vital Steps To Conceive Your Baby Boy
So you've been trying to conceive a boy for quite a while now? Or maybe you've just started trying and want to make sure it's a baby boy first try.

Whatever your reason, there are several things you and your partner can do to improve the odds of getting pregnant with a boy. The good thing is, you don't need to spend a fortune to put these methods to work, in fact most of them cost absolutely nothing to implement!

You can try these steps below individually - each of them on their own have been shown to work. However if you can combine all 3, you'll dramatically improve your chances of conceiving a boy without much extra effort.
The woman should eat a 'baby boy' diet. Some foods have been scientifically proven to increase your chances of having a boy. The main things you should aim for are a diet that's high in potassium and sodium (salt). This will make the woman's vagina more alkaline which is a better environment for male sperm to survive in. Only have unprotected intercourse at the right time of the woman's monthly cycle. The optimum time to conceive a boy is right on the date of the woman's ovulation so tracking this carefully using an ovulation calendar is a must. Naturally, when trying to conceive a boy, you'll most likely want to have intercourse more than 1 day a month, so just make sure you use some form of protection (like a condom) the rest of the time. Have intercourse in a position that allows for deep penetration. The male (Y) sperm that are responsible for producing the baby boys are faster swimmers than the female (X) sperm, but don't live as long. By having deep penetration during intercourse, the sperm will be placed near to the woman's egg, giving more male sperm a better chance of fertilizing the egg first.
While the steps outlined above provide you a good basis to go from, there have been many refinements made to these methods over the last few years by pregnancy specialists. They've taken these basic steps and 'turbocharged' them so to speak, making them even more effective than they used to be.

Depending on your situation, you might be happy enough to give the steps above a go first time, and hope they work well enough for you to have your baby boy. However if you're very serious about trying to conceive a boy, it's probably worth researching some of the even more advanced techniques.

Getting Pregnant First Time

Chances of Getting Pregnant at 38
Many believes that the chances of getting pregnant at 38 can be more difficult than at the age of 28, but it's not always impossible. What exactly are your chances of becoming pregnant after the age of 38? Frankly, The likelihood of getting pregnant or having a baby depends on a lot of things, including the length of time you have been trying, regardless of whether you have been pregnant before, and what is causing your infertility. Doctors believe, a woman's age is very important. According to them the chance of getting pregnant is lower whenever a woman is older than 35 years.

Why is it more difficult than in your 20s and early 30s age, and why do doctors recommend seeking help getting pregnant sooner than later when you past the age of 35 years? Should you follow the news, you might have seen the myriad of features focusing on women waiting until after age 35 to have children and having trouble getting pregnant.
However, not everyone has trouble getting pregnant after the age of 35. You might know of families who got pregnant quickly in their late 30s, or even early 40s. Nevertheless, statistically speaking, your chances of getting pregnant after the age 35 are lower. Fertility peaks in many women in their 20s, and gradually starts to decline in the late 20s.

At around age 35, fertility starts to decline at a much more fast pace. For example, your chances of getting pregnant at age 30 are about 20%. At age 40, your likelihood of getting pregnant is just 5% regardless of whether we like it or not, fertility in women starts to slowly decline in the late 20s and beginning an even more rapid decline around age 35.

Besides the decreased chance of conceiving a child, experts believes that women after the age of 35 have an increased risk of miscarriage. Even with these grim statistics, not everyone will have trouble getting pregnant after 35. Many have naturally conceived and are proud Mothers at the age of above 40 and they the best part they do it naturally.

However, if you are having difficulties, and you're over the age of 35, you shouldn't try on your own for more than 6 months. The sooner you get help, the better your chances of success.

Getting Pregnant During Period

Is There Any Possible Way Of Getting Pregnant During Period? Any woman may have a chance of getting pregnant during period. Pregnancy occurs when female ovaries release an egg. This egg merges with a male sperm in the process of having sex. This merging causes fertilization to take place and an embryo starts to form inside the womb.

To become pregnant she has to be ovulating meaning she is in her fertile period. The ovulation period is determined by the menstrual cycle. Menstruation is when the lining of the uterus wall is shed off if there is no fertilization in readiness for the next ovulation. It comes out as blood via the vagina.

Ovulation happens about two weeks from the 1st day of onset of period. This mainly is for a woman who has a cycle of 28 days. The duration of the monthly cycle is the total days from when the period begins to a day prior to the beginning of the following period.

The time of ovulating may however vary. It can come between the tenth day to the nineteenth day after the beginning of period. Some women have a menstrual cycle of twenty one days while others have thirty five days or even more. It is difficult to calculate accurately the monthly cycle of such women some times.

Becoming pregnant during periods is possible. Ovulation time is counted basing it on a menstrual cycle of twenty eight days. The assumption is that the woman will ovulate after fourteen days. This kind of cycle is however found in less than seventy percent of women. Those who happen to have such reliable cycles experience some changes once in a while.

For women with a cycle of 21 or 35 days, ovulation may occur much earlier or much later than expected. As a result, there is no accurate method of calculating the exact ovulation date. So, a woman may think that she is safe, yet she is not.

Furthermore, the fertile period lasts for approximately a week each month. Sperms can survive for about a week after sex and the egg can survive for twenty four hours or even more. This means that one can get pregnant as sperms could still be surviving by the time the ovum is released

The length of the menstrual flow is usually 3 to 7 days. Some women menstruate for longer periods and this eats into their safe days. If such women have sex while they are menstruating, there are chances of getting pregnant.

There is a chance of getting pregnant during period for any woman who practices unprotected sex. It is not possible for her to be 100% certain of her infertile or fertile days. This is due to the fact that her ovulation period varies time after time.

    • ANSWER:

  6. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting a girl pregnant during period.?
    I had sex with my girlfriend during her period and she told me their is no chance of her getting pregnant during her period. She also told me she had sex with her ex-husband when they were married 5 times a day for 6 years and she never got pregnant!

    I have had unprotected sex several times now with her while she is having her period. Her past husband was muslim and didn't think it was clean, but I don't mind a little blood. I really didn't notice it. She really wanted sex during her period and told me she can't get pregnant during her period is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      Depends on her cycles. If she's fairly regular (28 day cycle) then she's most fertile 13-15 days AFTER the first day of her period. Therefore, if she were to have long periods, it would be very possible for her to get pregnant during a period. There is only about a 3-5 day window each month that a woman is fertile.
      If she was having sex 5 times a day, that alone could nix the chances of a male being able to produce sperm that would make the trip.

  7. QUESTION:
    do u have a better chance of getting pregnant during period?
    my friend is tryin 2 have a baby and she was wondeing if having sex during her period could increase her chances

    • ANSWER:
      NO, the egg only lives for 24 hours and is already dead when you're on your period. Best thing to do is chart ovulation, cervical mucus, temperature and check the position of the cervix.

      Generally 14 days after the period is when you're at peak ovulation. But if her periods aren't regular the timing could also be irregular.

      And if by the off chance she releases another egg whilst on her period the egg whether fertilized or not will be expelled unless the egg somehow manages to attach itself to the unstable uterus's lining. The uterus cleans itself once a month and the lining is discharged so there's an extremely small chance of any egg attaching anywhere. Besides, when you are ovulating the mucus changes to make the environment easier to move in so they can actually find the egg in time to fertilize it.

      Also how acidic and alkaline you are changes, which can effect how long the sperm survive. The X chromosome sperm live longer than the Y chromosome sperm so the X sperm can tolerate a more acidic environment than the Y. The X sperm are more resilient but slower moving. So if she wants a boy she should make sure it's a more alkaline environment, which is best for sperm survival period.

      300 million sperm (generally) are released when a man ejaculates.

      And the cervix will be soft, sticky, opened, and further back when you're ovulating.

      The mucus when ovulating looks like egg whites and has that runny, sticky, stringy consistency.

      She should get an ovulation kit to keep track of everything, including temperature, which is slightly boosted during the days of ovulation. They also provide sticks to pee on which colors change.

      There are special temperature gauges and how you use them is in the early morning before you get out of bed.

      I hope that helped.

  8. QUESTION:
    The possibility of getting pregnant during your period?
    I'm on the pill so I'm not taking my contraceptive pills this week because of my period. I've finished my period two days early which means I started taking the contraceptive pills again in two days but I was curious to know the possibility of getting pregnant if I had sex now? Technically I still have my period but there is just no bleeding.

    • ANSWER:
      It's not impossible, but chances are quite low.

  9. QUESTION:
    What is the possibility of getting pregnant DURING your period?

    Please don't say things like "wait for marriage" or "you're too young to be thinking about that." I am 24, he is 25 and we both have very good jobs and responsible adults. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      My daughter is living proof that you can get pregnant having sex while on your period. Having sex before the period is finished can result in pregnancy. Its not 100% certain that you will get pregnant but there is a good possibility. Check out the link, it may help you.

  10. QUESTION:
    Can you get Pregnant during period while on the pill?
    With birth control you take pills for 3 weeks then you have a sugar pill week where you get your period on the 4th week. Can you have sex on your sugar pill week once your period is over even though you haven't started your next pack of pills yet? Is there a chance of getting pregnant if you have taken your birth control like clock work for the 3 weeks prior.

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, although possible, it is hard to get pregnant while you're on your period. Second of all, you've been protected by the pill for a good amount of time so I am sure you have stopped ovulating. Last, you are protected throughout your placebo pills because of the 21 active pills you have taken throughout the month

  11. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant during period?
    Can you become pregnant day number 1 of your period? Like just before you start actually bleeding bleeding..?
    How can you find out when you ovulate? Only by buying a kit?

    • ANSWER:
      as a general rule, you ovulate 14 days before the first day of your next period.

      If you have a shorter cycle, having sex on day 1 (first day of bleeding) could lead to pregnancy, as sperm can survive for up to 7 days in the vagina, if you cycle is shorter, or you ovulate early that month, sex on the 1st day of your cycle could lead to pregnancy, and thus missing your next period.

      There is no guaranteed 'safe' time to have sex without risking pregnancy.

  12. QUESTION:
    Possibilities of getting pregnant during your period?
    say a female is on her period and she has sex on the second day during it, but the male doesn't ejac inside the her but instead rubs it around the body "believing it would be clean of semen off his penis" (doubt it) and then puts it back in. what would be the possibilities of the girl to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      High chance of not getting pregnant.

  13. QUESTION:
    What are the CHANCES of getting pregnant during period?
    Now, I understand any woman could become pregnant during ANY time of her cycle, but what are the CHANCES of getting pregnant from having sex during the bleeding?

    I prefer an answer that compares the following:

    Sex during (or near)...
    -The 14th day of the cycle
    -Two days before period
    -Two days after
    -And DURING period

    I'd like to know like this:

    98% chance around the half-way mark,
    15% chance 2 days after period,
    etc.

    This will really help me to gain a perspective instead of hearing the repeated "a lot less chance" or "it's never safe" or whatever.

    THANKS a TON! :D
    Sarah, thanks a lot!

  20. QUESTION:
    Why can't you get pregnant during period week of the pill?
    Why can you get pregnant during your period if you AREN'T on the pill, but you can't if you are on the pill? Even though you aren't taking pills for a week.
    I'm currently taking levora. The period week are sugar pills just to remind you to take pills. You don't need to take those, so I haven't been, just cause I like not having to stress on taking a pill for a week.

    • ANSWER:
      It's a complicated answer, and I will try to not make it so.

      If you aren't on the pill, it is impossible to tell when you will ovulate. It can technically be at any point in your cycle, even during your period. Also, sperm can live inside a woman's reproductive tract for up to 7 days (average is 4-5, but up to 7 has been recorded). So if you have sex during your period, the sperm can still be there to fertilize an egg if you ovulate approximately 6 days later.

      If you are on the pill, it tricks your body into thinking it already ovulated (due to hormone levels). It also thickens cervical mucus (to disallow sperm into the uterus) and slows down the travel of the egg in the fallopian tube (because an egg must be fertilized within 24 hours of ovulation). The uterine lining is much thinner so, on the off chance that fertilization does occur, implantation cannot occur.

      So even though you're not taking pills for a week, you begin to take them right after your period. Your body thinks you've already ovulated so it doesn't. If by some fluke you did ovulate during your period and it was fertilized, the lining of the uterus becomes inhospitable to implantation.

      I hope that makes sense. If you need further clarification feel free to email me.

  21. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of me getting pregnant? (during period)?
    I got my period on Tuesday and it ended today. My boyfriend and I had sex the first day i got it, two times that day and both time he came inside me. Then we had sex two times on Friday and he came inside of me both times. I'm just curious as to what the chances are that i could possibly get pregnant from that and when would i possibly know if i was?

    Please don't say things like you shouldn't have done that or why don't you use a condom because no matter what the outcome is I will deal with it. I would just like to know the possibilities.
    Thank you
    thank you for the information about the endomitriosis.

    • ANSWER:
      The chances are actually higher, because you are ovulating right before you start. Also, having sex during your period can cause endomitriosis, just so you know. And it is a painful thing to have.

  23. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of getting pregnant during period while one the pill?
    My girlfriend is on her second month on the pill and she never missed a day, but her doctor put her on a different pill for the second month, and I was wondering if it is possible for her to get pregnant. The condom slipped off right after I came and she described to me as "she kind of came but not really." I had her go to the bathroom and clean the area right after. But I'm afraid that my penis came in contact with her vagina but did not go in that far. Is she ok or should I get a morning after pill for her?
    I meant to say that she went to the bathroom to pee. Would that wash out any semen if it was in there? also to avoid any UTI's

    • ANSWER:
      When on the pill, the chance of pregnancy is less that 1%
      It's unlikely that switching the pill had any effect, since they all do the same thing. Also, it is very unlikely that she has ovulated, or will ovulate, if she is very good with taking the pill on time.
      To be careful, you can get plan B, and it couldn't hurt, but in my opinion it probably isn't necessary- you can never be too careful though.
      Kudos to you for being prego-conscientious

  24. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant during your "period pills" week?
    I started my period on January 15 and ended on January 19. I had sex on January 18th not on my active pills. I don't actually take the last week of pills because they are placebo pills anyway. What are the chances of me being pregnant because I had sex when I wasn't on my active pills? It would be unplanned, but not really unwanted.

    • ANSWER:
      It's very slim, sperm can live up to five days in a woman. If you ovulate early there would be a small chance of getting pregnant. Typically a woman ovulates 14 days before getting your period, but a cycle is not completely predictable.

  25. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant during your period?

    • ANSWER:
      The chances are very slim but you still can get pregnant. The thing is sperm can live up to 7 to 10 days. In 7 to 10 days the sperm is searching for a egg. When on your menstrual your ovaries are preparing to push out another egg. If your partner ejalucates in you and you're about to get off your period it's a possibilty that within those 7 to 10 days of sperm searching for a egg and the ovaries pushing out another you can get PREGNANT!

  26. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant during a menstrual period?
    I'm on the pill, but have been failing to take it constantly on the same time during each day. (Some days, I'll take it in the morning, and other days I'll take it late at night). Normally, my period lasts about 5-7 days. On day three of my period, my husband and I had sex, and the next day my period was completely gone. Could I be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Could you be pregnant? Yes
      Are you likely pregnant? No
      Fewer than 1 in 100 women are even biologically capable of conceiving during their period.
      Fewer than 1 in 100 women will conceive while on hormonal birth control, even when taken at odd intervals, as long as no days are missed.
      Given these two sets of data I'd say you have between 1/10th and 1/100th of a percent chance of being pregnant.
      Also, you're period ending prematurely should not be viewed as a sign of pregnancy. When your period begins, your uterus is shedding the lining that built up in preparation of a fertilized egg. Your body doesn't halt this process early because an egg gets fertilized. The normality of your period was interrupted by the rare occurence of intercourse while menstruating.

  27. QUESTION:

He pulls out, but what about the precum? I started birthcontrol last night.

  30. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant during my period?
    I had unprotected sex on the 4th day of my period. they last for 5 days. it was a light flow day and he came inside me, the sad part is that he didnt tell me he was going to so i kept going after the fact for a while, so it wasnt a quick pull out. we had sex again the next day, he pulled out but i dont think it was in time either. i'm not sure if i can get pregnant or i have. or maybe since i was on top and when i finally did get off if his sperm just came out but i didnt feel anything come out. i was also wondering even though it was a light day and my period was almost over did the sperm just stick around or did what little blood that was there kill it off? i have read that sperm will stick around if it's in good conditions then then it's a good time that's when "they'll be on the move" with it being the end of my period that this was like a week ago i wonder if it's happening right now.
    Thank you for all your help, from all the research and advice i have gotten from people. well I just might be. I didnt start thinking about possible being preganant until friday night. Niether of us had thought about it. how soon should i take the test? it's been a week should i wait one more or what? thanks i really appreciate it!

    • ANSWER:
      nothing can kill sperm...sperm can live inside you for up to 5 days and yes you can get pregnant while on your period cause i did and have a 4 year old by believing that myth "you can't get pregnant while on your period".

      The only way right now that you could find out if your pregnant is through a blood test.
      A blood test will show you are pregnant 6 days after conception and is 100% accurate.

  31. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant while on your period?
    I had my period for about two days when the condom broke and my boyfriend finished inside of me before we noticed. Now, it's about the 5th day of my period and today, my period was heavier than it was the first day, even though I barely had it yesterday. What are the chances of getting pregnant during your period?

    • ANSWER:
      The chances of you being pregnant now is very slim.

      Okay I am going to get a little graphic here and I am sorry for that, but I think that every woman should know how her body works.

      When a woman ovulates her body produces this lining along her uterus called uterine lining. This helps a fertilized egg attach to th uterus until the placenta is formed. If the egg is not fertilized then the lining sheds creating your period.

      There have been women you ovulate during their period, how this happens I have no idea, but they are few and far between.

      Hope this helps

  32. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant during periods?
    i had intercourse just when i started bleeding and i didn't knew it should i take i pill

    • ANSWER:

  33. QUESTION:
    what is the chance of getting pregnant during periods, while using a condom aswell?
    I have a 'normal' menstrual cycle of about 30 days

    • ANSWER:
      While I agree stranger things have happened, and it seems you can never say for sure that a person can't fall pregnant at a certain time, in theory during your period is the least fertile time of your cycle.

      So you would already have a very low chance of falling pregnant then, plus you were using a condom and you haven't mentioned any chance that it broke or leaked, so I assume that was all OK?

      While I'm not willing to say "no chance", I'd have to say that the chances are about as low as anyone could ask for.

      I believe that the way it is possible to fall pregnant from unprotected sex during a period is if you ovulate within 6 days from the date on which you had sex.

      Because the sperm hangs around for a few days, it COULD technically make its way up to meet the egg. But first, this would be bucking the odds considerably since the environment through which it travels would be undergoing a kind of landslide at the time lol

      Then if you say that it did happen, if there is no egg released within 6 days (at the most) the sperm would all died off anyway. If your cycle is 30 days, you most likely ovulate on or around day 16. And if you have a period of around about 1 week (so days 1-7), it is highly unlikely that the day you had intercourse was both during your period and also less than 6 days from when you would ovulate.

      So to answer your question, highly unlikely from a biological point of view, though not completely impossible.

      Does that help at all?

  34. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant during your period if you just came off of depo and this is your firs period?
    This is my first period since coming off of depo (actually I only had one depo shot and my period came every month and never did stop). My hubby and I had sex but it was on the last day of my period ( which really doesn't count because there's barely anything to call a period).

    Is it possible that I could have gotten pregnant from this? Right now I don't know when I ovulate because even though I was getting a monthly period, the time span varied each month (some months 28 day cycles, some months 35 day cycles).

    So i am wondering if I could have gotten pregnant from this. Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      Unless you are missing your uterus/both tubes or something vital like that (and I mean COMPLETELY gone) it's always possible to get pregnant.

    Getting pregnant during your period?
    Hi, I was wondering what my chances were of concieving on the first day of my period? I haven't had normal cycles since the end of last year when my baby was born stillborn, my period comes from every 23-30 days. Is it possible I could be pregnant from having unprotected sex on the first day of my period?

    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you can. It's unusual, but not as rare as people think. I included a couple of links below.

  37. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant during a period?
    is there just a small chance that girls can get pregnant?

    because I heard that the sperm can not live in the menstrual blood?

    • ANSWER:
      You can definitely get pregnant during your period. As long as you've had at least one period, you can get pregnant whenever. Whoever told you the sperm can't live in menstrual blood is wrong.

  38. QUESTION:
    What is the possibility I got pregnant during the 3rd day of my period while on birth control?
    i had sex during my period. although i am on birth control it was during the week of inactive pills. after i had sex I noticed that my period stopped and I had some light brown spotting and them my period stopped altogether. is it possible i could be pregnant? i know that birth control is supposed to stop ovulation and that the period i was experiencing was not a true period but actually just withdrawal bleeding from the hormones, but is it likely that I became pregnant during my period? i have heard that women are more fertile then, is there any truth to that?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      You can not get pregnant if the sex is being done during the periods as during the periods the dead ovum comes out from your body.

  39. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of a woman getting pregnant during her period?
    If a woman has unprotected sex during her period do the chances of her getting pregnant stay at a 50/50 or do her chances decrease or increase? Also for say that her results turn out that she is pregnant with out her knowing at that time, then would her period stop the next day or will she have to wait till she ends up skipping her next menstrual to realize that she must take a pregnancy test?
    Thank you for your very helpful information but the question had nothing to do with my being. I am already 21 weeks pregnant. lol .This question came out of my curiosity. :)

    • ANSWER:
      Well the chances of pregnancy firstly are not 50% they are only 25% which is the highest chance and thats only during ovulation which lasts for 12-24 hours. Your most fertile a day before ovulation and the day of ovulation. Ovulation occurs 14 days before your expected period.Any other time during her cycle it is a 5% chance. Very unlikely she fell pregnant. Her body is self cleansing during her menstrual cycle it would be almost impossible to conceive during her period. The fact that she had her period is an even better indication that she indeed is not pregnant; If your still worried take a test 14 days after sex no need to wait until your next cycle you will get an accurate answer 14 days after.

  40. QUESTION:
    is it likely to be pregnant during period?
    when you have sex during your period can you get pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      If it is at the end of your cycle, then yes, it is possible. Some people ovulate right after the end of their period and sperm can live within the body for 3-5 days.

  41. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant during my period while taking the inactive pills?
    I'm in a long distance relationship, where I only get to see my boyfriend every other month or so. During my chance when I finally got to see him, I started my period. I've been taking Desogen for about a month, and I was on the last week of my pack, taking the inactive pills and during the middle of the week is when I started my period. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex all weekend, while on my period still, taking the inactive pills. Is it possible for me to be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      you're safe because the homones in the other pills are still active, the inactive pills are just so you don't forget the routine of taking the pill... your dr should have told you this

  42. QUESTION:
    Is it possible of getting pregnant during ur period????
    I was wondering If any of you guys had this b4? because on June 11 I had unprotected sex and then the next day I got my period...then on the 14 I had sex again n that was the 2nd day of my period now since that day my period is very light (pink..don't need a pad).and i have some cramps...

    • ANSWER:
      yes it is possible, learn some values and self respect and carry some condoms. its not the mans job to carry protection, if you dont want to catch any STD's or have a baby its your responsibility to take care of yourself. Yes you can get pregnant if you have unprotected sex, AT ANY TIME OF THE MONTH!!!

  43. QUESTION:
    How is it possile to get pregnant during your period? If women Ovulate approx. 14 days earlier?
    I'm asking this because of an answer I recieved from a previous question I asked about When I ovulate. 14 days before my next period, which apparently all women do from 10 to 16 days or so.
    But how is it that, when I google. I see that many women have become pregnant during thier period.

    How does this work with out the ovulation?

    • ANSWER:
      Not all women ovulate two weeks before/after their period. Sperm can also live for about a week if conditions are right. Especially if a woman has an irregular period, that can be a sign that ovulation is often irregular and might not occur at the "textbook" time. Even if women have very regular periods, ovulation can also occur at a different time. Therefore, unprotected sex during your period is never safe as a method of birth control.

      Hope this helps!

  44. QUESTION:
    How possible is it to get pregnant during your period?
    I have had sex during my period closer to the end of the 5-7 days. I just wanna know how easy it is to get pregnant during your period.(the guy never cums inside)

    • ANSWER:
      A lot of people think that if a woman has sex during her period, she can't get pregnant. But it is possible for a woman to get pregnant while she is bleeding. There are a couple reasons why this can happen:

      * Not all vaginal bleeding is the result of a menstrual period. Sometimes a woman will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding at the time of ovulation - the time when she is most fertile. During ovulation, an egg is released from one of the ovaries and travels down a fallopian tube to the uterus. It's common for women who are ovulating to have some vaginal bleeding that can be mistaken for a period.
      * Sometimes ovulation can occur before the bleeding from a woman's period has stopped, or it may occur within a few days after her period is over. Sperm can fertilize an egg for up to 3 days after ejaculation. So in both cases, having sex before the period is finished can result in pregnancy.

      Having unprotected sex at any time, including when you're bleeding, is very risky. Along with the risk of becoming pregnant, there is also a risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), such as chlamydia, genital warts, or HIV. The only surefire way to prevent pregnancy and STDs is abstinence. If you do have sex, use a condom every time to protect against STDs. And talk to your doctor about additional forms of contraceptives.

  45. QUESTION:
    Could I get pregnant during my period when I am on the pill?
    I have been on the pill for over 3 years and had sex with my boyfriend of 4 years the other night during my period (5 of placebo pills) day without any extra protection. My period has since stopped early and it did not reach the heaviness that it normally does. Could I be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes.

Getting Pregnant Calendar

Top Prenatal Vitamins For Getting Pregnant After 40
Increasing chances of getting pregnant can be important, especially for women over 40. Taking the top prenatal vitamins is one of the best tricks to getting pregnant fast. Below you'll find a recommended prenatal vitamin for every situation, plus some additional help on your quest in trying to conceive a baby.

The good news is that pregnancy after 40 isn't as difficult as it used to be. A getting pregnant calendar should be your first step: make sure you carefully mark the days of your cycle in order to maximize your chances. Knowing your ovulation date is the single most important factor when it comes to conceiving a child, so make sure you and your partner are aware of when these days are.

The best pregnancy food to eat includes anything that will help you stay energized. Balance proteins such as meats, fish, eggs and poultry against healthy carbohydrates like fruit, nuts, and whole grains or cereals. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, and try to increase your physical activity so that you're getting at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Getting pregnant after 40 requires your body to be in the best possible shape, both for you and your future baby.

The best pregnancy vitamins include supplements that your body may no longer be getting enough of. As a woman advances in age her metabolism decreases, and the breaking down of food and nutrients isn't as efficient as it used to be. Trying to conceive a baby while your body is deficient of essential minerals can be an uphill battle, which is why the following recommended prenatal vitamin regimen should be considered:

* Folic Acid - This supplement is a must have. It's the number one pre-pregnancy vitamin prescribed to women of any age, and it's an important part of early fetal development. You should make sure Folic Acid is at the top of your list.

* Iron - Getting enough iron can be a problem as you get older. For women who are anemic, iron is especially important. Make sure you're getting your daily recommended allowance.

* Calcium - As you probably already know, calcium breakdown can be a common female problem as age increases. Ovulation and getting pregnant requires that you get more than enough of this vital element.

* DHA - Many top prenatal vitamins include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This is an omega-3 fatty acid normally found in fish that is important for brain and heart development and health. Because women trying to become pregnant often limit their intake of fish due to concerns about mercury, they sometimes miss out on getting enough DHA in their diet. Make up for it here.

* Alpha Lipoic Acid - Essential to producing energy at a cellular level, C0Q10 and alpha lipoic acid are fairly expensive and not commonly found in most prenatal supplements... but these nutrients can have incredibly powerful effects on your body's function. If you can work these into your budget, they're certainly worth it.

* Zinc - Want to really boost fertility? Zinc has been shown to do just that, in numerous studies. It can be taken while trying to get pregnant in order to stimulate fertility and you should continue to take it while pregnant to help in the development in your baby's tissues.

* Vitamin B6 - Not only do the B-complex vitamins help give you an energy boost, but this particular supplement has been proven to decrease symptoms of morning sickness. By increasing chances of getting pregnant with this mineral, you're also helping out with how you'll feel once you've already conceived.

No matter how old you are, it's never a bad idea to be on the best pregnancy vitamin plan possible. It's also important to realize that there are foods that you should avoid while trying to get pregnant, and over the counter medications and herbal remedies that could be counterproductive to having a baby. On the flip side of the coin, there are many that can actually help in Getting pregnant after 40.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Do I have a chance of getting pregnant? (calendar included for a better look at my cycle)?
    http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b187/JuiCy_RoYaL/caa.jpg

    *My period came super early this month as you can see

    I know we're not doctors, but you think i might have a chance?

    • ANSWER:
      There is always a chance. I am sending baby dust your way:)

  2. QUESTION:
    What is the percentage calendar for getting pregnant?
    Say u ovulate on the 14th that would be a 100%
    Does it escalate up to that date and then deescalate after

    Does it ever reach 0%?
    I heard that there is a chance that you can get pregnant at anytime during your cycle

    Sorry for my elementary question

    • ANSWER:
      Your question is a little difficult to understand. Do you mean what is the percentage of getting pregnant if you know the exact day you ovulate? It's kinda hard to give a %. Ovulation is not always clear on day 14. Women can ovulate anytime which means you can get pregnant at any time during the cycle. But you already know that. So let me try and say this to see if it answers your question. Women ten to ovulate about 14 days before their expected period. Once a women ovulates the egg and only be fertilized about withing 24 hours after the egg is released. Now sperm can live in the body for about to 3 days. So the closer you are to ovulation if there is sperm there the higher the percentage of conceiving. I wouldn't say your chances are 0% because every woman and males semen are different. But the best times to avoid pregnancy are right before, after or during your period. So yes in a way it sorta escalates the closer you get to ovulation and then the further you get from it the least like you will get pregnant. However, just be careful because not everyone always knows when they ovulate. It can be very tricky!!! I hope this helps!

  3. QUESTION:
    What Is the possibility of getting pregnant using an ovulation calendar ?
    Me and my partner are trying to conceive so the calendar had said I was ovulating on the 18 threw the 21 I had sexual intercourse on the 19 what could the chances be and is it often that the ovulation calendar is correct

    • ANSWER:
      you're not ovulating all 4 days but you can be fertile all 4 days :) did you actually sign up for a program online or you're just using a random calendar? i wouldn't go off of a random calendar. i would actually sign up for a program that tracks your cycle. not every women ovulates @ the normal 2 wks after the start of their cycle and even w/a regular cycle women can ovulate @ diff times every month. if you start to feeling very wet (watery/eggwhite CM) you're in your most fertile window so have sex! if you're having more and more creamy Cm then start having sex every other day. sperm stays in your cervix up to 6 days max in ideal conditions. i use fertilityfriend.com. it tracks BBT, cm, ur cervix and everything in between. it'll take 2 cycles to figure it out but at least it won't be a guessing game. it's a great tool! don't have sex every day as that lowers sperm count - every other day is good :) also if you do need to use lubricant make sure it's sperm friendly as most aren't. i use pre-seed :)

  4. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant when ovulation is not likely or expected?
    My husband and I had unprotected sex 11/22 (i am not on b.c.)... the first day of my last period (which lasted only 3 - 4 days) was 10/28... I am wondering what the chances are that I could be pregnant? Ovulation calendars say that I am not fertile on 11/22... Any thoughts!?!?!? Any similar experiences?

    • ANSWER:
      Many people rely on the Rhythm Method as a form of birth control, but they fail to realize that sperm can live 3-5 days inside a woman after sex, so you do not actually have to be ovulating on the day you have sex in order to become pregnant.

  5. QUESTION:
    how many women have got pregnant using ovulation calendar and how long did it take?
    I just had my period return last month after breastfeeding my son for over a year.

    has anyone ever gotten pregnant by using an ovulation calendar?
    I used an ovulation test when I had my first little girl, we are wanting a 2nd child and I was wondering if an ovulation calendar that you use online is accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      I did! I used www.babyzone.com and just looked at when I was fertile and then asked on here when to have sex based on my ovulation. I got pregnant on our first month trying, having sex 3 times during my fertile time, every other day before, and then on the most fertile day.

      We also stopped using lube and just used water instead (lube can hinder the sperm's journey) and I also propped my bottom up for 15 min after sex, as that also helps to move the sperm along. We used missionary style as well.

      That is all I did to get pregnant, and feel very blessed it happened first try.

  12. QUESTION:
    Has anyone gotten pregnant using the calendar method correctly?

    I don't want to be pregnant...i think...anyway....i'm regular meaning 26-32 day cycle...had unprotected sex 3 days after my period started....according to the calendar method i should be fine but what do you guys think? it just sounds to good to true!

    • ANSWER:
      my cousin uses the calendar method, but you would have to be on schedule all the time, which can be difficult for those who's cycle is irregular.

  13. QUESTION:
    Has any1 used an ovulation calendar or calculator and got pregnant rather quickly?
    If so which ones did u use? and how long did it take for u to become pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      This is my second month using a calendar and I have a good feeling about this month. It really isnt about the calendar, but the other minor details you pay attention to. You can calculate when you're SUPPOSED to ovulate and when you're SUPPOSED to start your period, but that may not actually be the case. Keep an eye on your cervical mucus. A discharge that resembles raw egg whites with a stretchy consistency means ovulation. Another sign is mild cramps and breakouts. If your cervix is very high, soft, and open, this means that you are ovulating or about to ovulate. Low, closed, and hard either means that you are not ovulating or that you already have. Try to have sex every other day during the month (enjoyable sex) to cover all your bases and to have an off day for your man's sperm count to recharge. Also, keep saliva away from your vagina because it can kill sperm and is not a very good environment for sperm to live in. Do not use lubrication especially the ones with spermicide in it, and make sure your vagina is not "dry" because you need that cervical mucus to help the sperm swim into the uterus. Keeping a calendar is a great idea because you know the first day of your last missed period when you DO get pregnant and you can figure out about when you have ovulate. It takes a couple months for a calendar to have its benefits so you can see what kind of a cycle you are on. Good luck and much baby dust to you!!!

    What are the chances of getting pregnant if you have sex a day before ovulation, which was a very fertil day?
    I'm not trying to get pregnant until later in the year, but when I check my ovulation calendar a few days later, I found that I was very fertil. We would rather wait, but thank God I'm married and financially stable.

  19. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant 3 days after your ovulation period?
    I have an irregular period but I still use a period calendar. I had sex 3 days after my ovulation period and he came in me 4 times. What are the chances I could've gotten pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      If you have an irregular period, an ovulation calendar is useless. Since most women ovulate around 14 days before the expected start of their next period, it's impossible to know when the next period is due if the periods are irregular, and therefore impossible to know when ovulation should occur. Additionally, the egg will live for less than 48 hours after its release, so even if you did know when ovulation was occurring, sex 3 days afterwards will almost never result in pregnancy. Good luck!

  20. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of me getting pregnant?
    My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and I must admit I'm a little unfamiliar with the ovulation calendar and predicting how fertile you are. So...I looked up my ovulation using a calendar and it said that right now is the most fertile time for me, so I was wondering, since we've *cough* tried *cough cough* what are the odds that I'll end up pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Using a calendar? Calendars aren't psychic. Even if you have periods like clockwork and count back the 'standard' 14 day luteal phase you could EASILY be off 2 or 3 days in either direction!!

      However if you did 'catch the egg' there's about a 15% chance. I know its not a lot but 85% of healthy couples will conceive in a year of unprotected intercourse. It doesn't happen the first (second... third...) month for most people.

  21. QUESTION:
    What are my chances in getting pregnant?
    Hey All!

    I've been ttc for about 6 months now, and we have been unsuccessful =[ So my ovulation days this month are 10th thru 15th. I had sex only three days of my ovulation days (the 11th, 12th, and 13th) The day my calendar says Im suppose to ovulate is on the 14th. I' ve been tryin so hard to get pregnant in the previous months and nothing happened...its just weird because i had my son within 4 months of trying.

    • ANSWER:
      Relax. You're doing everything right. A normal, fertile couple who has sex at the time of ovulation has only a 15-20% chance of getting pregnant, so it's normal for it to take 6-8 months or even longer. Your timing is fine -- just keep trying and don't stress. Good luck!

    How to help me getting pregnant?
    My fiance and I have tried to get pregnant, for the last year or so. I dont have health insurance so I can go see a fertility doctor. I'm still young. I have used a fixed chart and using the temp calendar and taking vitamins, working out, eating healthy, any other suggestions on help to getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Stop tracking, stop having sex for the sake of getting pregnant, and just enjoy intimacy with your man. We tried calendars and timing intercourse just right, every trick in the book to get pregnant, and it didn't happen until I stopped worrying about it and started to just enjoy our sex life for what it was. All the stress and anxiety that comes with trying too hard only makes things more complicated.

  24. QUESTION:
    How likely are you to get pregnant when using spermicide, a condom, withdrawal, and the calendar method?
    Using all of those methods at once perfectly, how likely are you to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Very, very, very unlikely. Doing that sounds like something a person who is terrified of germs would do.

      LOL

      If you're using spermicide and a condom there's no need for withdrawal. If the condom broke the spermicide would kill the sperm. That's what it's there for.

  26. QUESTION:
    Wat are the chances of her getting pregnant if we had unprotected sex when fertilitys highest during ovulation?
    Ovulation calendar said that her highest fertility would be on Oct. tuesday the 14th and we had unprotected sex on that exact day, how are our chances? Also, we had sex like 4 times that day in about a 5hour span, And how soon will we be able to know if she is pregnant or not? What is the fastest way to find out? and whats the most accurate way or the most accurate test? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If you are both fertile people with no problems, your chance of conceiving is about 25-30%. And just FYI, if you are trying to get pregnant, you probably dont want to have sex multiple times, it lowers your sperm count and actually makes it less likely that you will conceive.

  27. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant?
    I have been using an ovulation calculator for the last 6 months. According to the calendar, a person has 5 fertile days. I had unprotected sex on the second day, April 30 and my ovulation date is May 2. I want to know what are the average chances of conception. Thanks to anyone that can help! Please pray for me as I have been struggling with this problem.

    • ANSWER:
      You should really be "trying" BEFORE your fertile days. The sperm can live for awhile in there. That's the best situation, for the sperm to be waiting there for when the egg comes down. If the egg is released and then you are "trying", many times then you are too late. You have already been trying for 6 months. Provided that nothing is wrong with either of you, most people have success within a year. So you've already increased your odds right there. On the day you get your period is "day one". Keep counting the days and "try" every other day from day 10 to 17. If you don't have success in 6 more months, see your doctor. Good luck!

    • ANSWER:

  29. QUESTION:
    Are my chances of getting pregnant after this high?
    Yesterday my bf and I had unprotected sex twice and both times he "finished" inside of me. I'm on the pill but I forgot to take it yesterday, but I took it the day before and today. My ovulation calendar says I'm ovulating this week (including yesterday) and I want to know are my chances of getting pregnant high since I missed the pill and I'm ovulating? Thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      The chances are good if you are ovulating. All it takes is not taking your pill at the same time every day to get pregnant so if you completely missed one there is a bigger chance. I got pregnant on the pill and I never missed a day but I didn't always take them at the same time each day.

  30. QUESTION:
    Okay I am trying to get pregnant, and well I am using the ovualtion calendar?
    and they say fertile like for 3 days, and then it says ovualte time. So when is the right time to try for a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      Start when the calendar says you are fertle and have sex every other day or every day until it says you are not fertle....what you should do is start a couple of days before the calendar says you are fertle and keep it up until a couple of days later than the calendar says just to be sure you have sex on your fertle days!!...You usually ovulate around cycle day 14...with cycle day 1 being the first day of your period...Good Luck

  32. QUESTION:
    If my dh and I hit my ovulation day right on, what are the chances of getting pregnant?
    I should be ovulating sometime this week, probably tomorrow or the next day, according to my calendar and charts; I have been checking cm and bbt and using ovulation predictors (pee sticks). My cm has just today become eggwhite-ish, but my temp hasn't gone up yet and I haven't had a LH surge yet. I'm really hoping it happens this month it will be our 6th month trying.

    So basically I'm asking if we do everything right and our timing is good, what are the chances of conception?

    • ANSWER:
      if egg and sperm are in the body at the same time the chances are in the 80% percentile that fertilization will occur and the ovum will implant and grow into a baby.

  33. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant about a day after ovulation?
    I ovulated on 12/16, and had unprotected intercourse on 12/17. My calendar shows that I was still in high fertility. I am TTC.

    • ANSWER:
      Were you doing the ovulation calculator or the test strips? I was doing the calculator for the first 2 months and the 3rd month bought the test strips, realized I ovulate earlier than the calculator says. but you still have a chance of being pregnant on the off days of ovulation. I think it said 20% chance or something.. I read all about it under TTC on www.webmd.com gives you tips on it! Good luck!!

    • ANSWER:
      You could be, I would definitely get checked. Some women have periods the whole way through their pregnancy while others don't shed a drop of blood. It all depends on the person!! If you feel like your having symptoms then it's a possibility!! Hope this helped!!

  36. QUESTION:
    Why am I not getting pregnant!?
    Me and my boyfriend have sex more than twice a night, every single night. We have been trying for 5 months and I still have no positive results. Ive tried the Basal Thermometer, I've tried the fertility tracking calendar. I've been pregnant before (with my ex) and had an emergency abortion due to medical reasons at the time. Is it me or is it him? and what should I do? I've been to a doctor, but no one seems to be of much help with this problem.

    • ANSWER:
      Depending on how old you are 5 months is not long. If you are under 30, a year is the usual mark of infertility issues. If 30+ obgyn's usually start helping with fertility at 6 months. The next step would be for your partner to have a count done... it is much easier than any of the stuff you would need to go through.
      Good Luck!

  37. QUESTION:
    How can i get pregnant? i have been trying for 8 months i dont know what to do im getting really scared?
    i have been keeping a calendar and taking vitamins. What do i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Pease remember that if you are Trying to Conceive you really shouldn't stress out about having sex! Sex should be fun not a chore. If you are under 35 years of age, and have been trying to get pregnant for over 1 year then go see an specialist or an obgyn. If you are over the age of 35, and have been trying to get pregnant for over 6 months, then go see a specialist. Also please keep in mind that 30% of the time it might be your male partner, and he needs to get tested for sperm mobility.

      A great book for you to read about fertility is called, "Fertility Facts" by March of Dimes. A great specialist that I saw when I was having trouble conceiving is Dr. Colin Smikle, and Dr. Kao from Laurel Fertility. Make sure you write down your questions and ask them lots of questions. Their staff has great bedside manners. Their website is www.laurelivf.com

      Also what's great about this fertility clinic is that they can work out an affordable payment plan with you, if you don't have insurance or if your insurance doesn't cover fertility treatmeants.

      A good thing to try for PCOS is clomid, and IUI. If that doesn't work try doing the shot hormone, and IUI. Then try IVF. Dr. Kao and Dr. Smkile are the best there is out there, graduated top of their class at a top tier college

      Good news is there is always hope for you to get pregnant! Dr. Kao and Dr. Smikle both said I had PCOS, and now I am pregnant. What I did was, I made sure I exercised at least 5 days a week, and I ate healthy, and I got pregnant naturally. PCOS is a metabolic issue keep that in mind, so please work out together with your husband, friend, sister at least 1.5 hours a day, and eat healthy. Good Luck to you! If you have any questions feel free to email me!

  38. QUESTION:
    What chances out of what are there to get pregnant on the day that says VERY FERTILE on the ovulation calendar
    I calculated my ovulation days and they were from the 17th through the 22nd and the very fertile days were the 19th and today the 20th. I had intercourse three to four times on the first day that was a "Very Fertile" day and ejaculation took place two to three times. What would be my possibilities and what and when would be the very first thing i would notice?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you've got about a 20-25% chance each cycle, even if you 'do everything right'. Bear in mind that ovulation calculators, as with everything on the web, are entirely subjective and not fully reliable. But if you were BD-ing a bunch, you've got excellent chances all the same!

      Implantation occurs between 8 and 10 days after ovulation for 84% of pregnancies, and only after implantation has happened does the body even know it's pregnant. At that time, it slowly starts to make hCG which is the pregnancy hormone. This is what you're testing for with an HPT and it's also the thing that gives you symptoms, but it can take 2 weeks or even more to build up in your system. So I wouldn't bother testing until after your period is officially late. Good luck!

  39. QUESTION:
    Do I have a chance of getting pregnant?
    According to my fertility calendar, my most fertile day is today. My husband and I "did the deed" yesterday and we can't "do the deed" until tomorrow about 5pm. Is his sperm that is inside me still able to get my pregnant? Do I still have a chance of getting pregnant even though we are having sex after my most fertile day? Can I get pregnant DURING ovulation? Any advice is helpful.

    • ANSWER:
      When you ovulate, the egg can live about 12 to 48 hours before it is unable to be fertilized. Sperm can live in you on average 3 days, so they may be in there waiting until your egg is released.

      To be honest though, it is very hard to tell if you ovulate unless you take your BBT, check CM, or use OPK's to check for LH surges.

      I hope it all works out for you :) We had sex the day before and the day after what was forecasted based on fertilityfriend.com, and have been doing every other day most of this month. I'm 4 dpo and going through my first two week wait, I hope this is it for me :) But most healthy couples take up to a year to get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:

  42. QUESTION:
    I want to ask if there's a high chance of me getting pregnant?
    My boyfriend and I had sex with these dates- June 13, 14 and 27, and recently July 2. My menstrual cycle is usually 30 days, and sometimes 29 or 31. My last menstrual period was June 5. According to my ovulation calendar which I try to observe frequently, my ovulation day ranges to June 16-23, 2010. My question is do I still have a higher risk of being preggy considering of the dates we had sex and that we used the withdrawal method in having sex? Your knowledgeable answer will be appreciated. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      By the info you provided, it seems that you are at a very high risk of being pregnant. 1. Those were estimated ovulation dates and 2. The pull-out method hardly ever works!

  43. QUESTION:
    Ladies: When did you start getting nauseous during pregnancy?
    I'm at 6 weeks (4 weeks actually pregnant) and I've felt a little bit nauseous twice, and I was wondering when your nausea set in so I can try to be ready for it. Please tell me if you're referring to weeks you're actually pregnant or the 40 week calendar where they include the 2 weeks when you're not pregnant yet. That whole thing kinda confuses me! Thanks!

    Also, when people say how many weeks they are, are they usually including the two extra weeks like the doc does?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you are actually 2 weeks pregnant by the time you have missed your first period, so you are 6 weeks pregnant out of the 40 weeks that pregnancy typically lasts. I, personally, was lucky with my first two, and even now (I'm 8 weeks pregnant). I threw up once with my daughter in the first 6 weeks, I felt a little naseaus with my son, but never threw up, and I have only felt a little queasy within the last couple of weeks or so, but haven't thrown up yet. Usually by week 12, any "morning sickness" will be gone, but few have it for months. Good Luck to you.

Getting Pregnant During Ovulation

Getting Pregnant During Ovulation - 5 Surefire Ways to Predict Your Ovulation Dates
Ovulation is the time during a woman's menstrual cycle when an egg is released from an ovary and travels down the fallopian tube. Once the egg is released, there is a 24-hour period during which the egg is viable for fertilization. If sperm does not fertilize the egg during that time, conception will not occur. Therefore, the most important task in timing a planned pregnancy is to predict the dates you are going to ovulate. Because you do not have a window into your uterus, you can't see when that egg has been released. However, there are some pretty accurate methods to figuring out when you will be ovulating.

Ovulation Predictor #1 - Count the Days Women with regular periods can predict their dates of ovulation fairly accurately. Usually, ovulation occurs 10 to 14 days after a woman begins the first day of her period. Marking down day one of the start of your period and then counting 10 to 14 days after that is the simplest way to predict when you are going to ovulate.

Ovulation Predictor #2 - Take a Home Test Your local pharmacies now carry ovulation predictor tests. They work in much the same way as a pregnancy test does. You hold a stick in your urine stream and the stick will then give you a positive or negative ovulation result. These tests are useful if you have fairly regular cycles and you want extra reassurance for scheduling intercourse for conception. You take a test around the time that you think you are ovulating, and the test can confirm your prediction. However, the accuracy of these tests sometimes leaves something to be desired, as they can provide false negatives. Additionally, the ovulation predictor tests can be very costly if your cycles are irregular and you have no idea approximately when you will ovulate.

Ovulation Predictor #3 - Check Your Basal Body Temperature Taking your basal body temperature with a basal thermometer is a more accurate and less expensive way of predicting ovulation. Basal thermometers are inexpensive and can be purchased at pharmacies. Because basal temperatures rise ever so slightly, you cannot monitor them with a regular thermometer. Take your temperature as soon as you wake in the morning, and keep track of the daily recordings. When you see the temperatures start to rise you'll know that you are getting close to ovulating.

Ovulation Predictor #4 - Note Any Type of Body Discomfort Many women can feel a change in their bodies when they are getting ready to ovulate. Some women can feel a slight swelling in their ovaries when they gently press on that area. Other women feel a slightly uncomfortable, bloating-type of feeling when they are getting ready to ovulate. If you fall into this category, consider yourself somewhat lucky because you can tell without a whole lot of effort when you are ovulating.

Ovulation Predictor #5 - Evaluate Your Cervical Mucus While this may be the least desirable of the prediction methods, many women are convinced this is the best way to predict ovulation. When you are close to ovulation, the cervical mucus changes in consistency. It will go from cloudy to clear and it will become stretchy. If you check the mucus every day, you will become skilled at noting the changes and you can tell when you are ovulating.

Predicting ovulation cannot always be done with 100% accuracy, but you can get close to determining the dates so that you can time your intercourse and massively increase your chances of pregnancy faster!

  2. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant during ovulation?
    yesterday I had sex and the condom broke, and I noticed later that I was ovulating. we picked up plan B 12 hours later. what are my chances of getting pregnant? thank you ~

    • ANSWER:
      When you use no protection at all, your odds of conceiving in each cycle are 20-25%.

      Plan B is quoted with an effectiveness rating of 89%. That makes it look more effective than it actually is. What they're trying to say is that the product prevents pregnancy in 89% of all cases. In actuality (see the first stat above), about 75 to 80% of women who use Plan B weren't going to end up pregnant anyway.

      The real way to think about birth control is to consider its failure rate-- the opposite of its effectiveness rate. When used correctly, Plan B still results in 11% failure rate. This means that out of every 100 women who use it, about 11 still end up pregnant. The longer you wait to take it, the more likely that you will be among that 11%. Taking it within 12 hours is well within the recommended time frame.

      So your odds are about 1 in 10 of getting pregnant. Not an enormous risk overall, but taking Plan B only cut your initial risk in half. The real question, looking ahead to the future, is to learn how not to break condoms. They really are quite durable when you get respectable brands and use them correctly

  3. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant during ovulation?
    I got my period on the 18th of Sept. I used a digital ovulation kit and detected I was ovulating on Oct. 3rd. My husband and I have had sex ever since I detected ovulation. I couldn't sleep at all last night because of lower back pain. What are my chances of getting pregnant and how soon would I feel any symptoms?
    The ovulation kit came up positive on the 3rd of October.

    • ANSWER:
      Your chances of getting pregnant are as good as they possibly can be. Having sex right at ovulation ensures fertilization of the egg. It is quite common that fertilization does not lead to a pregnancy, but I still would assume your chances are better than 50%.
      Very early pregnancy symptoms are frequently very hard to distinguish from PMS. If you are looking for symptoms like nausea, tender breasts fatigue and headache and so own, you are very likely to find them, because just plain looking for these symptoms can sometimes cause them. You will probably feel better, aka less bothered by early symptoms, if you do not look for them at all and just plain wait for your period.
      Good luck and baby dust!

      Holding off on sex or ejaculation can be just as harmful as having too much sex. If your partner's sperm count is normal, it is perfectly fine to have sex daily. (once every 24 hours) If it is not, then every other day, or every 36 hours is recommended. I would definitely advise against holding off for a month. It's just not healthy. When trying for baby, it is best to have sex throughout your fertile window. You start to become fertile about 5 days prior to ovulation, are very fertile the 3 days prior, and at your peak fertility the day before and the day of ovulation. Sex prior to ovulation (not just the day of) is very important. Sex prior to ovualtion can result in pregnancy. You can also consider yourself fertile the day after ovulation, as your egg may live for up to 24 hours. Sperm can live for 3-5 days in fertile cervical mucus, and in rare cases 7 days. The average life span is 3 days. Once you ovulate, your egg only lives for up to 24 hours. Sometimes it lives as short as 6 hours. This is why sex prior to ovulation is so important. You basically want the sperm already there awaiting the release of your egg. So be sure to have sex prior to ovulation, mainly starting the within the 3-5 days prior for the best chance of conceiving. Do not wait a month in between time. It does more damage than good. So, if you ovulated today, get busy! Start having fun! And for future reference, do not wait a month in between intercourse. At least have sex for the sake of the bond, and making love. It will not hurt anything. It is also recommend to have sex every other day throughout your entire cycle when TTC. Good luck and baby dust for you!!! :)

      I don't Think UTI lesson's the chance of getting pregnant,I heard UTI's are more common during pregnancy because of changes in the urinary tract. The uterus sits directly on top of the bladder. As the uterus grows, its increased weight can block the drainage of urine from the bladder, causing an infection.Drink plenty of water and cranberry juice it worked for me!hope this helps!take care hun!

    Chances of getting pregnant during possible ovulation time?
    I had sex with my bf during the time i think i could have been ovulating, although he did not actually *** at all. How likely is it to get pregnant off of precum [during ovulation] even though we DID use a condom.

    • ANSWER:
      so you used a condom or no? If you guys had sex while ovulating and didn't use a condom then it is possible to get pregnant....If you guys had sex and didnt use a condom for the first half then it is possible for you to get pregnant off of precum but it is a lower chance than if he actually ejaculated in you. I hope that helps..... a woman only has a 20%-25% every month of getting pregnant while ovulating and doing everything correctly to getting pregnant.....So i would say your chnaces are very low but it is possible. If you used a condom through the whole time having sex then it is vey unlikely that your pregnant

  9. QUESTION:
    What are the chances...getting pregnant during ovulation?
    What are the chances (statistically) of getting pregnant if you have sex while ovulating? I have been off the pill since Feb and still nothing. I know I have ovulated the past few months, cause I have felt it. I guess I should be patient, but i recently lost a baby and am anxious to have another. I have figured out that my cycle is only 24 days and not 28...maybe more regular now..
    thanks for all your wonderful answers.it has really helped:)

    • ANSWER:
      Your chances of getting pregnant while ovulating are high. I know how it feels to lose a baby and i am sorry for your loss. My doctor told me just to take it easy and not want the baby so bad, cause they say if you want it, it wont happen. once i was able to relax and get my mind on other things I ended up pregnant. It is a lot easier to get pregnant when you are relaxed about things then anxious, cause that will put your hormones and things out of whack. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!

    what are my chances of getting pregnant during ovulation?

    • ANSWER:
      Nature has the weirdest way of managing things. You can do all the right stuffs and still not get conceived. But when you least expect it, it happens. So keep up your good homework but do not be too focused on trying to conceive; enjoy the process, cos scientifically there is only 25% chance of conceiving during ovulation. Good luck!

    • ANSWER:
      Just because he didn't ejaculate doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, but as long as his privates stayed away from your privates before the condom was on I wouldn't worry about it.
      Condoms are very effective - yes, even if you are ovulating. Condoms get a bad rap because people don't always use them correctly.

  16. QUESTION:
    Can a woman only get pregnant during ovulation days?
    Can a woman ONLY get pregnant during her ovulation days? I did an ovulation calendar for myself because I am ttc. It will be the 1st time I get pregnant but I would like to know if I could only get pregnant during those 5 ovulation days? Because its kind of funny, what happens to the other 25 or so days of the month? Cant make babies on those other days? It’s kind of frustrating having only 5 days out of the month.

    • ANSWER:
      yes you can get pregnant at anytime during your cycle....its just not as easy after your ovulation finishes because the egg has died out and your body is getting ready to be rid of the remains (hence your period). but before ovulation may be slightly easier because that is when the egg is newly forming, or has almost matured, its just depending on how many days before the ovulation that a woman has had intercourse since sperm can live up 7 days inside a woman....and ovulation may occur during anytime and occasionally more than once.

  20. QUESTION:
    Do you only get pregnant during ovulation?
    In health, I learning about pregnancy and I'm just wondering if you can only get pregnant during ovulation?
    And is ovulation where the penis are inside the vagina?
    So if ovulation didn't happen, during an 'make out' time, will you get pregnant?
    And when I say make out, it's like sex except the ovulation part.
    I know it's GROSS but I'm just very curious.

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation is 12-15 days after your period begins. It is when the egg is open to fertilization.

      You can get pregnant ANY time of the month, but - it is more likely during those few days of ovulation.

      A penis HAS to be inside of a vagina and release sperm into the vagina in order for a pregnancy to occur. Sperm and the egg have to meet in order for a pregnancy to occur. So, when ovulation happens (when the egg is more available, if you will...), it makes it easier for sperm to reach. And a penis releases sperm when a man ejaculates, meaning a man has an orgasms and releases a fluid called semen which contains sperm.

      Also, when a penis is inside of a vagina - it is called sex.

      Ovulation occurs whether a penis is around or not.

      It's not gross, sweetheart. It's a fact of life. :)

      Hope I helped!

  21. QUESTION:

  22. QUESTION:
    How likely is it to get pregnant during ovulation?
    According to online calculators I should be ovulating the 12-16th. I was just wondering if you did have unprotected sex say twice a day during those days how likely is it that you'll get pregnant?
    The only thing I'm worried about is I've had 2 miscarriages before. Am I not able to have babies because of them or will those two make it harder?

    • ANSWER:
      Your miscarriages shouldn't affect getting pregnant unless they're recent ones.
      Your best chances of conceiving would be if you have sex every other day.
      If you were to have sex every day the amount of sperm the male produces reduces.
      If you do it every 2 days it gives a chance for the sperm count to build back up.
      Also sperm lives inside the woman for a few days so if you do it every other day you will ALWAYS have a supply of sperm inside waiting for you to ovulate.
      Good luck :)

  23. QUESTION:
    Can you only get pregnant during ovulation or does this only increase your chances?
    Can you only get pregnant during ovulation or does this only increase your chances?

    • ANSWER:
      You can only get pregnant during ovulation which can happen at any time of the month. If you have sex on Monday and you don't ovulate until Saturday then your chances of getting pregnant are really really slim. The egg is only viable for 12-24 hours and sperm can last in fertile cervical mucus for 3-5 days (five days being a stretch).

      So to answer your question you can ONLY get pregnant during ovulation... which can happen any time during the month but the egg has to be there in order to get pregnant. So ovulation doesn't increase your chance... it's your only chance. Can't get pregnant without ovulating.

      Hope that answered everything.

  32. QUESTION:
    When can you get pregnant during ovulation?
    Hi everyone. Quick question about ovulation.
    I'm trying to get pregnant. I ovulated on Friday but I didn't know I was going to and didn't have sex the days before and didn't get the chance on Friday. I did on Saturday and Sunday though. Is there still a small chance I could get pregnant or have I missed the window completely?

    Please, please answer. Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. You ovulate 12-24 hours before the egg disintegrates. You have a very good shot at catching that egg. If this isn't your month, I would try and baby dance a day before you ovulate, so there are plenty of sperm waiting for the egg to drop and fertilize.

      Good luck!! Remember to watch for EWCM (egg-white cervical mucus)--if it stretches an inch or more, you are VERY fertile and will probably ovulate within 24 hours.

    in other words, if my period is supposed to start at the end of april, and hypothetically i were to get pregnant in the middle of april, would I miss my period for april? or would it be the next period that i miss?
    well of course i know i would miss all of them while pregnant, i meant which would be the first. and i am not infertile, i guess the one that said that is not a very nice person. i have a beautiful toddler boy and i am not trying to get pregnant, it was a hypothetical question.

  35. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant during your Fertile Stage or is it just during the Ovulation Stage?
    Pregnant, Fertile, Ovulation, baby, TTC,

    • ANSWER:
      You are only fertile during the time that the egg is present (post ovulation)... HOWEVER, sperm can live up to 3 days, in essence waiting for ovulation. Meaning, that even if you haven't ovulated you can still get pregnant for up to 3 days after you have had intercourse should you ovulate during that time.

  36. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of you getting pregnant during ovulation if u have sex but he doesn't ejaculate in you?

    • ANSWER:
      1. Sperm does NOT die when it is exposed to air- that's a myth. Sperm can survive for up to 7 days on the exterior of the vagina as long as the temp doesn't fall below 98 and there's moisture present. It's rare that ejaculate on the exterior of the vagina makes its way to the egg but it HAS happened as many individuals will attest to.

      2. If you're ovulating and you have unprotected sex- even without ejaculation- you can indeed get pregnant. Pre-ejaculate contains high concentrations of sperm and thus- even if a man pulls out before ejaculating the woman can get pregnant.

      The only 100% eeffective way to prevent pregnancy is to abstain. If abstinence isn't an option condoms are 98% effective when used properly, and birth control is 92% effective when used as directed.

  37. QUESTION:
    can woman only get pregnant during ovulation?
    I want to know if females can only get pregnant during ovulation or anytime during the cycle. A couple of my friends told me its anytime during the cycle its just that ovulation is the best time, but when I google it people say no ovulation=no pregnancy. Someone please let me know cuz im confused. ( Please & thank you (: ]

    • ANSWER:
      Conception will only occur when both egg and sperm are present. The egg is only released during ovulation. So, pregnancy can only occur once ovulation has taken place. The idea that a woman can get pregnant anytime comes from the fact that it is nearly impossible to know exactly when ovulation takes place. In a most generalized average, a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days long and ovulation takes place on day 14. Most women, though, are not that precise every month with their cycles. Once the egg has been released from the ovary it will remain viable for 12-24 hours, possibly as long as 48 hours. After ejaculation sperm remain alive inside a woman for several days, possibly as long as 6-7 days. Even when a woman is using an ovulation predictor kit or monitoring her cervical mucous and basal body temperature, she will only get a likely time frame when ovulation will occur. Yes, women can only get pregnant when both egg and sperm are present. Yes, ovulation has the potential to occur at any point in the woman's cycle even though it is most common to occur around 14 days prior to the start of the next menstrual cycle.

  38. QUESTION:
    can you only get pregnant during ovulation?
    my friends worried because her and her boyfriend had sex 3 days ago and he came in her. she had just stopped her period the day before. so we were looking stuff up on the internet and keep seeing that you can only get pregnant when your ovulating. but then we seen your most fertile times are five days before your period, the five days when your on it, and the five days after. were both really confused, and my friends scared. it'd be to early for a pregnancy test wouldn't it? so what should she do?

    • ANSWER:
      This is true- you can only get pregnant if you are ovulating, but the thing you need to remember is that sperm can live anywhere from 3-5 days, and I have even heard that under the very best conditions it can live up to 7 days, which means that if you have sex up to 7 days before you ovulate, you can get pregnant. Also important to remember is that not every woman ovulates mid cycle every cycle. You can ovulate on day 9, and say you have a 7 day period if you have sex the lat day of your period and then ovulate on day 9, you can get pregnant. So what to do now? She can take plan B as long as it has been 72 hours or less from the time she had sex. She can get plan B at any pharmacy, and they keep it behind the counter so she will have to ask for it. If she is younger than 17 she will need a prescription from a doctor, or she can get it for free at a planned parenthood. It costs about . If it has been longer than 72 hours then all she can do is wait until her period is due and take a pregnancy test if it is late. Then, if she is pregnant, she can get the abortion pill or else prepare to raise a baby.

  39. QUESTION:
    why does most girls think you can only get pregnant during ovulation?
    you can get pregnant any time you have sex
    ovulation is just telling you the time your mostly likely to get pregnant
    who agrees with me
    and why does so many girl think this

    • ANSWER:
      I think it's denial. To believe you can only get pregnant during this time means you can have guilt free sex. This is silly. Every girl who is having sex needs to know anytime you have sex, protected or not...there is a possibility you can get pregnant.

  40. QUESTION:
    do you always get pregnant during ovulation?
    me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex 14 days after my period which is my ovulation cycle. we did it twice and i know the second time he did not pull out in time. could i possibly be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:

  41. QUESTION:
    if you get pregnant during ovulation do you continue to ovulate?
    what happens afterwards because I didn't have any clear discharge for this month. this month i just got white thick cream discharge a day after ovulation

    • ANSWER:
      When Ovulation occurs your body releases an egg. In order to become pregnant that egg has to be fertilized, which can't happen until after the egg is released. Before it's released it's encased in a follicle which is a sack that breaks open.

      If you have more than 1 egg it is possible to ovulate them at different times, but it's rare. So unless that happens no you don't continue ovulating after you are pg. For that matter you are not actually considered pg until the embryo implants which is usually 6-9 days after the egg is released. It would be very unusual (and some would consider it impossible) for eggs to release that far apart.

      Discharge is not a good way to tell if you are or have ovulated. Patti

  42. QUESTION:
    Can you only get pregnant during your ovulation period?
    Fisrt of all, can a woman only get pregnant during her ovulation time?

    And how does one know when she is ovulating?

    • ANSWER:
      You can only get pregnant if you ovulate. However, determining when you are ovulating is the trick. If you have a normal, regular cycle that starts every month every 28-31 days, you can probably assume most of the time that you will ovulate 14 days before your next period starts. However, most women are not always regular and have been known to release an egg even during their period, so you can get pregnant WHEN YOU OVULATE, but not necessarily during a certain period of time. Another factor in having unprotected sex is that sperm can live up to 7 days inside you, so if you ovulate within a week after having sex, you could still get pregnant. You can buy ovulation prediction kits in the drug store to help you determine if you are ovulating at any one time.

      hope this helps..

  43. QUESTION:
    Could pre cum get you pregnant during ovulation time?
    If he urinated before and hasnt ejaculated before the sex.

    • ANSWER:
      I know the consensus is that pre does not have sperm however if he has ejaculated within the last 24 hours it could have. I wouldn't take any chances and get a pregnancy test in two weeks time...

  44. QUESTION:
    can a women only get pregnant during ovulation?
    for instance, i am pregnant and the first day of my last period was Aug. 10th, my boyfriend and i had sex on the 16th,18th and about another three days later. which day i was i most likely to get pregnant on. my doctor did an ultrasound on 9/27 and i was 7wks pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      if you have a 28 day cycle.. I would say the three days later would have been the sperm that got you pregnant cause you would have ovulated around the 24..and if he came in you on the 21st ...sperm can live for up to five days...so I would say it was most likely that it was the three days later...but you can't be sure cuae everyone ovulates different and has a different cycle...

      Anyway...that's my opinion..lol..

      GOod luck with your pregnancy~

  45. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant.........?
    why is that everyone always say you can get pregnant anytime of the month when you only could get pregnant during ovulation?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, It all depends on what day of the month you have sex. Also, sperm can live in you up to 7 days before it dies. So if you have sex a week or few days before ovulation. You have a high chance of pregnancy. Anytime you have sex there is a risk, some lower chances and some high chances. But, I do agree with you on this statement.

Getting Pregnant Faster

Getting Pregnant Faster - How Long After Birth Control can you get Pregnant
Getting pregnant faster is in many respects all about getting the timing right. Essentially you need to know when you are most fertile. The good news is this; there are multiple tools available to you in order to get this right and even if you stop birth control tomorrow it can be several months before you return to normal fertility.

You can use an ovulation predictor kit to help predict when you are ovulating and this will help you as your cycle begins to return to normal.

Beyond using commercial devices you can use natural methods in order to pinpoint ovulation. For example you can start monitoring your body temperature; this is formally known as charting your basal body temperatur for help in getting pregnant faster.

The objective is to look for an increase in your body's temperature by about .4 degrees Fahrenheit. In some cases there are women who will actually witness a decrease in temperature. There are always exceptions to every rule and this is one exception. You will need to chart this information and it is very important to take your temperature before you do anything else that day. You also need to take your temperature consistently at the same time.

This also applies when measuring your cervical position. Your cervix changes position during your menstrual period. As it changes position and changes in consistency you will need to take note, the harder it is and the less moist then you are not ovulating, if on the other hand it is becoming increasingly moist and changing in position moving upward then you are approaching ovulation.

When using all of the above getting pregnant faster becomes easier. Along with this make sure you keep healthy and eat right and remember. Most women take months befire they conceive, regardless of it they are on the pill or not. If you are trying to get pregnant faster follow these steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Can getting an operation for an Ovarian cysts help the process of getting pregnant faster?
    My friend has a small ovarian cysts on her left overy and she wants to have kids.

    she wants to get the cysts remove,

    If she gets an operation can that higher her chances for getting pregnant or getting pregnant faster?

    • ANSWER:
      I had a cyst removed from my right ovary and went on the pill after. I missed one pill and still got pregnant only a few months after so I don't think it will affect her! Maybe I'm just fertile though... idk... best of luck to her!

  2. QUESTION:
    Why am I not getting pregnant? What did you do to get pregnant faster?
    This will be our 5 month trying. I didnt have any problems with my first child. She was unexpected since I was on BC when I got pregnant with her, so what is the deal now? I have been taking prenatals, laying down after sex, timing ovulation. Did anyone else have this problem and how long did it take you to get pregnant? I really want to because I don't want my kids far apart in age. They will already be 3 in a half years apart if I get pregnant soon.

    • ANSWER:
      My husband and I have been trying for 2 years, we did the whole fertility treatment after about 12 months (iui) or (ai) and gave up all our bad habits (caffeine) we did fall pregnant in june this year but miscarried at 8 weeks then did another iui with no result I finally cracked and said that's it I'm not doing this anymore watching all my friends have their second and now third babies is so hard to watch while staying positive for yourself and hearing don't worry it will be your turn next from my friends is becoming so hard to hear.
      Also am feeling the same about the age gap I have a daughter her will be turning 4 in april so she will already at school when the next one comes!!
      but finally am 5 weeks pregnant (conceived naturally no fertility help) and I Truly feel that me giving up on having another baby was just what we needed to fall pregnant obviously I was putting to much pressure on the situation and I know easier said then done right but after so long of trying and so much disappointment I just didn't want to try anymore.
      I've heard people say busy yourself and keep your mind off it but can tell you it's completely impossible to do that!!!!!
      My only advice I can give is to do what ever it is that relaxes you to increase your chances and don't worry about getting baby's off your mind cause you will probably find yourself thinking about it more.
      good luck to you.

    I am married with a 4 years old son.I am 35 and would want to get another baby.I have not been on any contraceptives for last 4 years and I want to conceive faster.what should i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you have sex within three days before you ovulate and three days after. I am trying to get pregnant again too. Also, try certain positions that allow the sperm to stay in your body longer. Not female on top. You can also prop some pillows under your hips to keep them elevated after sex. Stay in bed for twenty minutes to allow the sperm to do their job. Good luck!

    Any tips for getting pregnant faster?
    My husband and I are 25 with two beautiful children. We have been ttc for about six months. I had my mirena removed in may but I also have a tilted uterus. We are both healthy and I have been tracking my ovulation/periods but still no luck. Any help would be great.

    • ANSWER:
      You need to be having sex from 2 days before ovulation to 4 days after ovulation for the best chance of conceiving. Every other day is fine, too much sex depletes sperm supplies. Nothing more to do really it just takes some couples longer. Try not to get too stressed about it, baby making should be fun :)

    Are there any tricks to getting pregnant faster?
    Me and my fiance have been trying to get pregnant for nearly a year now and we are getting very frustrated every time aunt flow rears her ugly head! Does anybody know any little tricks that can help speed up the process or boost our chances of conceiving...we already know he is fertile because he already has two kids...and im almost certain i am too...so if anyone has any advice please help!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh the smart @$$ed answers I have pondered!

      First, tie the knot. Kid first wedding second is not the best option IMHO! Now on to the answer... My wife and I had a tough time till she discovered there was a problem known as "Ovulatory dysfunction" Meaning her eggs were not fully developed. Our OBGYN said if you do the deed, day 13-15 of your cycle (that's 2 weeks after the START of Aunt Floe's visit) for 6 months, and you are not with child, there is a problem. My wife took "clomid" (spelled wrong I am sure) and the first month after that ba-da-bing child one! We waited just over a year and like clockwork on the same holiday ba-da-bing child 2. 2 years and 9 days apart, both Thanksgiving babies, what are the odds of that?!?
      Good luck with your new Hubby to be and the quest for the crumb crunchers. I hope for you all the joy of Mac$Cheese, with yogart and the kid holding the spoon. The mess is worth the wait!

  10. QUESTION:
    anyone knows any tips on getting pregnant faster?
    Me and my fiance have been trying for about 5 months, and we do the whole "put a pillow under your back for 20 minutes after he ejaculates inside of you, but after 5 months nothing has happened, and we tend to have sex alot. excpesially when i'm ovulating, maybe one or twice a day. We really want this but i don't know what else i could do, were both healthy and dont have fertility problems. Any ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      well you can try using opks so you can pinpoint closer to ovulation.
      And you may be having sex too much. This month me and my hubby only had sex a few times a week, but we made sure we Baby danced around ovulation.
      I would just have sex every few days, and then when you ovulate, do it once a day.
      And also I have been trying softcups and this is my second month using them and i think it actually worked this month!
      i bought mine at walmart for 14pack for 5.99. They were in the tampon aisle. You insert them right after sex and continue to hold your bum up for 10-20min, But afterward you can move around, and the cup inside will hold the sperm in for up to 12hrs. You can still use the restroom while wearing them.
      They are a bit messy coming out. But I love using them.
      And make sure you have Fertile Cervical mucus, If you dont then maybe try presseed or mucinex(guiasphine) 5days prior to ovulation and stop once you ovulate.
      this is what i did this month, and i am almost 100percent sure I conceived, since i had implantation spotting 7dpo.
      Good luck and hope you get your BFP soon!

  11. QUESTION:
    an alternative to getting pregnant easier and faster ?
    Ladies, what options are there to get pregnant faster ? we are having problems , but the Doctor said im fine.... we want a cheaper and easy fast way. are there any pills out there ?

    thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Go to your local pharmacy & purchase a "Basil Thermometer". It comes with instructions but I will tell you anyway. Every morning (for a week straight) take your temperature first thing when you wake up in the morning. I'm talking about the minute you realize you're still alive. There is a tracking sheet that comes with this particular thermometer, & every time you take your temp, write it on the tracking sheet. It's like a graph. On the day your temperature is the highest, that is the day you will get pregnant. So tell you husband (I hope) to get in there & do his thing RIGHT THEN because you will conceive.

  12. QUESTION:
    ANY TIPS ON GETTING PREGNANT FASTER?
    My hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant again for the past few months. Are there any tips on getting pregnant faster, like does taking prenatal vitamins or anything make it a better chance or anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 10 points best answer!

    • ANSWER:
      Ummm.....let's hope you are not 14. Haha. I would have to say to keep track of when you are ovulating and keep track of your menstrual cycles. Like a woman on a 28 day cycle usually ovulates on day 14. This differs from woman to woman. Best way is to check your temperature every morning as soon as you wake up. When the temperature goes up, this is typically when you are most fertile. You can research that more if you are interested. There are also certain positions that can help get the little spermies there easier, like putting a pillow under your butt to kind of elevate yourself. This is supposedly helpful. You can also research position. Good luck and lots of baby dust!!

    Faster proven tips to getting pregnant?
    Can anyone tell me some proven tips to getting pregnant fast??? Im on clomid 50mgs days 5-9 today is day5 im thinking bout trying the OPK but the doctor says sex every other day after day9 so i think if i jus follow that i should catch my o day so im not going to get the opk. Does anyone have any suggestions

    • ANSWER:
      I'm on my second round of Clomid (TTC for 16 months now for baby #1) and I totally understand. To help:

      * Do not drink caffeine or ANY alcohol (partner should not either)
      * Start taking prenatal vitamins
      * Use Pre-Seed or another sperm-friendly lubricant to help the sperm find their way (as Clomid can reduce CM)
      * No spit on either of your genitals - can kill the sperm!
      * Always have him finish with him on top and you having a pillow under your bum so your hips are elevated. Stay there for minimum 15 minutes after sex is finished.

      Just an FYI - I ovulated 9 days after my last Clomid pill so I had sex every other day from CD 7-16 and then on CD 17, 18, 19 and 20.

      Good luck!

  15. QUESTION:
    what are some tips to getting pregnant faster.?
    is there any vitamins or anything like that. open to any suggestions.

    • ANSWER:
      -start charting your ovulation, (for example, at www.fertilityfriend.com or other website)
      -drink lots of green tea, stay hydrated (good for cervical mucus)
      -have your man switch to boxers if he doesnt wear them now (better for sperm production)
      -have sex every other day, not every day (more potent sperm)
      -focus on missionary and rear-entry positions (more sperm towards the cervix)
      -and after his orgasm, dont get right up to do anything. just relax and lay there for 20 mins or so with your hips propped up-wards by a pillow. (this helps the sperm get where they need to go)
      -last but not least, dont stress about not concieving. the stress will actually prevent conception.. easier said than done but try to relax and just have fun.
      do all these things around your 'fertile days' (according to your fertility calendar) and you will have a much better chance.

      best of luck to you!

    Tips on getting pregnant faster part 2?
    I wasn't clear when I said me and my husband have been trying for a baby for a year now, I meant we haven't been using protection for a year but we havent been having sex on my ovulation days. What can we do to have a baby faster?

    • ANSWER:
      wow. don't listen to a word nicole just said. First of all, there is hardly any chance of becoming pregnant right before your period since the egg is dead and gone by that time and the lining of the uterus is shedding itself. The egg only lives up to 24 hours so you must have sex within 5 days BEFORE ovulation if you want to become pregnant. If you wait until after ovulation to have sex, it's too late to get pregnant.

      You should take prenatal vitamins but they will not decrease your chance of miscarriage. They do however decrease the risk of birth defects - it's from the folic acid in them.

      Right after your period is not the hardest time to conceive. Right before a woman's period is (and the only way that would be possible is if the woman ovualted right at the beginning of her period and that's pretty rare). I got pregnant from one time, two days after my period ended so again, it is incorrect that it's hard to conceive after your period. In fact, one week after your period ended is the ideal time to conceive and remember that sperm can live for up to 5 days.

      To maximize your chances of becoming pregnant, check out fertilityfriend.com. You can chart yout temperature every morning at the same time and record your cervical mucus (stringy, thick, cloudy, clear, etc), and it will tell you when you ovulated. This is FREE and it's a great site for those that want to conceive. You should have sex every other day from the end of your period through at least three days after ovulation (again, check out the website I gave you above) - this makes sure there is always sperm waiting for the egg, and gives the man enough time to completely build up his sperm count again.

      Remember it can take a year of TRYING to become pregnant. My first took us 10 months. Our second took us one time lol. You just never know when it will happen. Good luck.

  25. QUESTION:
    How can I get pregnant faster?
    Now that we're married and have things "settled", my husband and I are trying to get pregnant. The number one piece of advice we've been given is to not try too hard to get pregnant, because we'll never be able to get pregnant due to stress, etc. Does anyone have any advice for getting pregnant faster???
    I don't want to hear, "Have a lot of sex"! I am aware that decreases viable sperm count, and therefore will overall decrease our chances of conception.
    I would also like to hear from people who have successfully gotten pregnant or have some background, as they actually know.

    • ANSWER:
      If you are interested in improving your fertility, one of the most important steps is to monitor for when you are most fertile. Many couples have difficulty getting pregnant because they are having intercourse at times when the woman isn't ovulating. This can make it surprisingly difficult to conceive.

      There are a number of different ways that you can monitor your fertility. It is a good idea to start by monitoring your basal body temperature. This will help you to determine exactly when you are ovulating - your basal body temperature will increase when you are ready to release an egg. Keep a fertility calendar so that you know when you are ovulating. It is important to have sexual intercourse just before an egg is released, in order to maximize your chances of becoming pregnant.

      There are a number of natural family planning methods that can also help you to become pregnant. Keeping track of your cervical mucus and using the rhythm method will help you to become more aware of your body's natural cycle. Try keeping a fertility chart - this will raise your fertility awareness, allowing you to pinpoint when you are actually ovulating. You may also want to look into purchasing a fertility monitor, which can help you keep track of your conception calendar and dates.

      Sexual Positions
      If you are having difficulty becoming pregnant, you and your partner may want to experiment with different conception positions during intercourse. In order to become pregnant, your partner must deposit his sperm as close as possible to your cervix. Certain positions will allow this to happen more easily. Avoid having sex while standing, sitting, or with you on top, as this can cause semen to leak out of your body. Instead, try the missionary position, which allows for deeper penetration. Rear entry intercourse is also effective, as it allows your partner to deposit semen closer to your cervix. To keep any extra semen from leaking out of you, try elevating your hips for fifteen minutes or so after your have sex.

      Eating Right
      Though you may not believe it, eating right plays an important role in your body's fertility. A balanced diet helps to regulate hormones and nourish your reproductive system. A good diet also helps you to maintain a healthy weight, which can greatly impact fertility. Women who are underweight or overweight may have a harder time becoming pregnant because body fat levels impact the production of sex hormones.

      It is especially important to include certain vitamins and minerals in your diet. Try to include:

      * Vitamin C and Antioxidants: these vitamins prevent sperm defects and boost sperm motility. They also reduce stress on your eggs and reproductive organs.
      * Zinc: zinc deficiencies have been linked with reduced testosterone and semen levels.
      * Calcium and Vitamin D: A daily, therapeutic dose of these nutrients have been shown to help increase male fertility.

      Certain foods and chemicals should be avoided if you are having troubles becoming pregnant. Cut back on:

      * Alcohol: alcohol can reduce your fertility levels by up to 50%. It can also decrease sperm count and increase the production of abnormal sperm.
      * Caffeine: caffeine, found in coffee, teas, cola, and chocolate, has been shown to reduce both male and female fertility levels. As little as one cup of coffee a day can cut your chances of conception in half.
      * Xenoestrogens: xenoestrogens are estrogens found in environmental chemicals and pesticides. Produce and other foods can have high levels of xenoestrogens, which, if ingested, may disturb your balance of hormones. Imbalaced hormones are often the cause of fertility issues.

      Exercise
      Moderate exercise can also be a good natural fertility treatment. When combined with a balanced and nutritious diet, exercise can help you to maintain a healthy body weight. Excess body fat can increase the amount of estrogen in your body, throwing the female fertility cycle out of balance. Exercise helps to burn off this excess body fat, allowing hormone levels to return to normal. It is best not to overdo exercise though - over exercising can actually impair fertility. Try low impact aerobic workouts like walking, swimming, and cycling.

      Herbs
      If you are having difficulty becoming pregnant you and your partner may want to look to herbs for fertility. Herbs have been used to promote fertility for thousands of years and can be considered to be a form of natural fertility medication. Because herbs can be very potent, it is important to speak with a registered naturopath before taking any herbal supplements.

      * Chasteberry: This herb works to increase fertility by stimulating the pituitary gland. This is the gland responsible for producing sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Chasteberry should help fertility by balancing the sex hormones.
      * Dong Quai: Dong Quai is a Chinese fertility herb, long-used to solve menstrual difficulties. It

      Try finding an ovulation predictor from the drugstore. It's a thingy very much like a pregnancy kit but here you test your pee every day after your monthly period. The kit has about 7 sticks, not sure. But it is supposed to determine if your pregnancy hormones has peaked which makes it more likely that you will get pregnant if you have sex at this time.

    • ANSWER:
      After having sex, lay flat on ur back for about 15-20 minutes. If u have to, elevate ur butt a little bit! Help the sperm get to where it needs to go. Also, don't use the bathroom for about 20 minutes after sex either. Another thing, don't know if this is true or not, but I heard that u can have too much sex when trying to get pregnant, i.e. like 2-3 times a day, everyday or something. Something about the sperm needs time to rejuvinate. Good luck to ya!!

      Unfortunately these things just take time. Each month you have a 20% chance of conceiving. 50% of couples conceive within 6 months of trying, and 85% conceive after a year. Hopefully you will not have to wait that long.

  33. QUESTION:
    Any mothers or women TTC know of any tips/tricks on getting pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend are currently trying for a child. Are there any tips, tricks, supplements (besides vitamins and folic acid, I'm on those already) that aid in getting pregnant faster?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly, with TTC it's all about TIMING. The best thing you and your BF can do is ensure you are getting your timing right EVERY cycle.

      Spend the money and get ovulation kits. Ovulation kits give you a 1-2 day warning that ovulation is about to take place. Have sex the day you get a positive and keep having sex every day after for 3 days. Do this each cycle and you should get pregnant soon. Get the timing right and you'll get pregnant.

      If you find that you have good timing and still aren't pregnant after 12 cycles, then see a doctor for testing. The other thing women do is put off getting help. If there is something that needs addressing, it's not going to magically heal itself. For now, you don't have that to worry about. Just get your timing right. But, if you do get to that year mark, don't put off seeing a doctor.

      Good luck!

  36. QUESTION:
    Im trying to get pregnant to surprise my hubby... are there any easier ways to get pregnant faster?
    We have sex around 3-4 times a week, but I want to surprise him. I lied to him and said I'm planning on having kids, but I know he wants some and I do too. Are there any easier methods in getting pregnant? I don't really let him ejaculate in me... just a little bit. I've been trying for 2 months already.

    • ANSWER:
      if you don't let him ejaculate in you, your chances decrease. does he know when you're ovulating? if not there is no need to be that careful at ovulation time, since he doesn't know when you're ovulating. since you both want children though, why don't you just go ahead and try for one, it will be a surprise either way.

  37. QUESTION:
    can anyone give me tips on getting pregnant faster/?

    • ANSWER:
      Not sure what you are doing already to get pregnant but the best way to up the odds is to get to know your cycle REALLY well. By this I mean:
      1)figure out when you ovulate
      2)have intercourse on the three days prior plus the day of and day after ovulation

      Best way to do this is to start charting your basal body temps or get an ovulation predictor kit. The first is probably the cheapest plus you could discover some interesting things about your cycle that you didn't know before.

      It can take awhile to conceive and there is no sure fire way to speed things up. Good luck.

  38. QUESTION:
    What is some tips to get pregnant faster?
    My soon to be Husband & I are ready to try for a baby. This is something we have wanted for a long time. We are both grown adults, & make a good living. So, Please, No rude comments. Anyways, My question is, How can I get pregnant faster? I just recently stopped taking my Birth Control. So, Do I have to wait a while before it could even happen? Please, Any tips you can give me! Im ready to start a beautiful family!

    • ANSWER:
      me and my fiance are also trying and ive read that with most birth control you have to wait 6 months before its very likely for you to concieve also your more fertile days and dont think about it or try to hard just let it go when you think about it its a mental thing and it makes it harder to concieve so just relax and good luck to both of you. also ive had whats called a hystericle pregnancy where you get all the symptoms but your not pregnant that is caused from thinking to hard.

  39. QUESTION:
    Me and my bf been trying to get pregnant for months now..any tips on how to get pregnant faster?
    I am 22 he is 30..we are both smokers but otherwise in good health..also i have had a miscarriage last year does that have anything to do with me not getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah, you should stop smoking. It makes it harder to get pregnant.

      My best advice is to stop trying. I was trying to get pregnant for a long time and it never worked but when I stopped trying, I got pregnant very quickly. I know it's hard, but you just have to try. My friends always said that they got pregnant when they wasn't trying and I figured it wouldn't work for me, but it did. I hope it works for you, too. I did everything that people said to conceive faster and none of it ever worked. Finally, I just stopped thinking about being pregnant- I came to terms with the fact that I was probably not fertile. I stopped trying to get pregnant in late August and my date of conception was around September 30.

      If you would like to try some of the methods I will give you some. They didn't work for me but they might work for you.

      - Get tests to see when you are ovulating. Have sex around that time.
      - Use positions where you can get closer to the cervix like rear-entry and missionary.
      - Ifyou start a prenatal vitamin then it will be easier for conceiving.
      - Have sex once every other day.
      - Spice things up a bit. Have sex at odd hours or places that you normally would not have sex at. Just don't get in trouble. I don't know how this works but every article that I've read about conceiving mentions this.
      - Make sure things are as stress-free as possible.
      - A lot of women have tried to stand on their head or hang upside down from a couch. This never worked for me but it won't hurt for you to try it.

      A doctor once told me that a woman has a 90% chance of getting pregnant within a year if no form of contraception is used.

      Hope I helped.
      Good luck.

  42. QUESTION:
    who knows tips on getting pregnant fast and naturally?
    We've been married for 12 years.
    This year we want to get a baby, how to get the tips on getting pregnant fast and naturally?

    • ANSWER:
      Getting pregnant sounds really easy, but it is very complicated in fact.
      You'd better turn to doctors for help or read some books to get more techniques or tips.

      http://www.pregnancytutor.com/pregnant.html
      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

      the best advice - which recently appeared in the press - is have lots of sex. They recommend more than once a day. My girlfriend and i are trying as well, and we make love just once after waking up, and twice (more at weekends) in the evening - apparently it will work!

  45. QUESTION:
    Tips on Getting pregnant faster!?
    Well my fiance and i had a miscarriage september 24th and ever since then have been trying to conceive again. but still haven't had any luck i am looking for any thing that may help besides ovulation. i have an irregular period so its very hard to track with an online predictor,so i rely on the other signs of ovulation. so besides that is there anything i could do to help get pregnant faster?

    thanks in advance

    • ANSWER:
      if your having irregular periods, have sex every other day.

      you don't want to everyday because that could deplete his sperm.

      im going through the same thing you are, with the irregular periods and this month i said "sex every other day!" and of course my husband had no problem with that.

      as far as the irregular periods go i began to take flaxseed oil capsules. i read and have had people on here tell me it regulates your period.

Getting Pregnant During Perimenopause

Even With Early Menopause Symptoms There is Chance of Getting Pregnant
Menopause is a period in woman's life time when her ovaries stop to produce eggs and when her menstrual cycle stops. Early menopause occurs to most of the women in their 30s or even in 20s. If your period cycle stops before the age of 45, then it will be known as early menopause. If your ovary stops producing eggs before this age or if you are experiencing hormonal changes or if your ovaries have been damaged or removed by surgery for any other reason, then you will have early menopause.

If you do not have periods for more than a year, then you will be considered as a woman undergoing menopause. The premature ovary failure surely results in early menopause. Premature ovary failure does not mean that your ovary stops producing eggs but it generally means that your ovary is not responding to hormone changes. So even if you experience early menopause, there is chance of getting pregnant. It is proved in research that 20 % women who had early menopause had become pregnant.
Early menopause may produce physical as well as emotional symptoms in the woman. Irregular periods, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sudden weight gain in hip, skin irritation and itching, hair loss, hair growth in face, severe head ache, body pain, joint pain, dryness in mouth and change in the smell of the body are the physical symptoms of menopause.

The woman experiencing menopause may have memory loss, irritability, anxiety, confusion, lack of concentration and some other emotional symptoms. She may feel deserted and get angry soon. Most of the American women who experience early menopause are suffering from hot flashes. Hot flash means a hot prickly feeling in the back. Vitamin supplements can reduce the hot flash.

Another important thing in early menopause is that many women are facing infertility problems. Even if you do not have any other symptoms, you will not be able to get pregnant due to early menopause.

Some women are experiencing the trouble of vaginal dryness in early menopause. This is very uncomfortable. Vaginal dryness occurs because of the decreasing level of estrogen. The estrogen decreasing may also cause abnormal hair growth in face. This will upset most women.

Most of the women experience bladder control problems. That means most women experiencing early menopause may want to pass urine frequently and most urgently. If you face any serious problem in bladder control, you should consult the doctor. Frequent urine passing may be a symptom of Diabetes also. Some women face sleeping problems in their early menopause period. Some others feel nervousness and heart beating faster. Sudden weight gain in the waist and tenderness in the breast may also be the symptoms of early menopause.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Any suggestions for getting pregnant if I'm in Perimenopause?
    I'm 43 & have never had a problem conceiving when we wanted children in the past. I always got pregnant within a couple of months of trying. My husband & I would like one last child, but my Dr. says I am in Perimenopause, & it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to become pregnant. We have been trying for about 10 months now..even tried Clomid, the fertility drug, for 2 months. Anyone out there have any suggestions for getting pregnant during this phase of life? My 3 children were all born while I was in my mid to late 30's & early 40's. We'd love to have one more baby.

    • ANSWER:
      I read that 43 is the age when it becomes almost impossible to get PG for any woman... that said, it does still happen! If I were you I would try IVF, it will probably be your best hope. You should have an ultrasound to see how many follicles you have left. Would you be willing to use an egg donor if need be?

  2. QUESTION:
    Not sure if I'm pregnant...?
    In 2005, I had my left ovary removed due to an abcess. I was told I wouldn't have any trouble getting pregnant. My husband and I were married in November 2007 and started TTC right away. I was sent to a fertility specialist in January 2008 due to problems with cysts (not PCOS though). We did a few IUIs and no luck... then had surgery to figure out what was going on and found out my fallopian tube was wrapped around and stuck to my remaining ovary. I was told it was separated and I would have no trouble getting pregnant.
    We started IVF in August 2008. I had high FSH and was told I might be in perimenopause, but it could also be that I only had one ovary. (I don't remember the number now) We proceeded and made it to ER and only got one egg, which died within 2 hours. I was told then that it was highly likely that I was in perimenopause and that my chances with a second IVF weren't good. We were also told that there was an increased chance of having a developmentally delayed or handicapped child. While I would undoubtedly love this child regardless, I don't feel right getting pregnant knowing that there is an increased chance of this happening. I felt it was selfish of me to try anyway.

    So we gave up. And started looking into adoption. And started using protection during ovulation time. (I don't take the pill or other BC for multiple reasons)

    I started having weird periods 3-4 months ago. Either they're more painful than usual, last longer, are more heavy, or are shorter and lighter than usual. I've been late once, but only by 2 days. I've always had extremely predicatble periods.

    Last month's period lasted 10 days. The last 3 days were more spotting than anything, but if I have to wear a pad, I count it.

    I am now 5 days late. I have been having HORRID cramping for the past 3 days. No spotting, no bleeding. Just horrible cramping. I've taken 7 pregnancy tests (First Response Early Result and First Response Gold Early Response and some generic Rite Aid brand). All have been negative. 5 of those tests were done with first morning urine. 2 were after holding for a few hours with limited intake of fluids. Followed all the directions for the tests.

    Any thoughts on what in God's name is going on here??? No other symptoms other than being quite snippy, but I think that's due to be worried.

    • ANSWER:
      if you are in premenopause than that could be the reason

  3. QUESTION:
    I'm only 24... what is going on?!?!? Pls help me?
    I'm 24 years old and have been with my boyfriend for about two years. We have a five month old baby together and I love him very much but he thinks I am cheating on him. The primary reason for this is because I have absolutely NO sex drive at all.

    I know what you're all going to say, you're a new young mother, blah blah blah... but I know that's not the cause and I have other symptoms that I believe are related.

    - Constant exhaustion and fatique
    - Severe insomnia (seems ironic given the constant exhaustion...)
    - Unable to loose the baby weight
    - Irritable and short-tempered
    - Hot and cold flashes
    - Loss of appetite
    - Foggy memory
    - Difficulty concentrating and paying attention (my mind wanders in mid-conversation with people, to the point that I have NO idea what they just said once they finish)
    - Absolutely NO sex drive at all (my poor boyfriend will try and try to make me horny, but nothing ever happens, I usually end up giving in and having sex because I feel bad)

    I know that these symptoms are not due to being a new mother, however, because I felt wonderful and my sex drive peaked when my baby was about 1-2 months old, then disappeared.

    I googled my symptoms and it said that I have a hormonal imbalance where my estrogen levels are far higher than my progesterone levels... and that this typically happens during perimenopause and menopause... I'm only 24!!!

    Oh, by the way, these symptoms were here BEFORE I got pregnant as well, I've been living with them for a while but they seem to be getting worse.

    Please, does anyone know what is going on? Am I going through premature menopause?? What can I do to feel better and have more energy to play with my baby? How can I get my sex drive back? (my boyfriend has tried pretty much everything that you can think of, romantic dinner, foreplay, etc... nothing works so far)
    Now that you mention it I have always had very low blood pressure. I didn't think it was related because I've had it for so long.

    Even when i was 9 months pregnant the nurse commented that I had the blood pressure of a 10 year old.

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry you're having a hard time with this, but you really need to go and speak to your doctor about it. It's not a good thing to try and self-diagnose via the internet as your symptoms are actually very generalised and can be due to a variety of things. The best person to speak to is your doctor. Take care and I hope you get it sorted ;)

    Can menopause cause occasional mild nausea?
    I am fifty, have been in perimenopause for some years. For some months I've woken up with mild nausea, which one or two Tums gets rid of. Sometimes during the day it will come back and I just take another Tums. I am definitely not pregnant. Do I need to see a doctor or is this just another menopausal symptom?

  8. QUESTION:
    Can a women as early as the age of 33 get menopause.?
    i'm very concern of my menstrual cycle recently. I've missed my period for 38 days now an i know i'm not pregnant. I never had an irregular period before although a couple of months back i've had a shorther menstrual cycle. I'm not on pills or antyhing. I've read about perimenopause. I think i have some of the symptoms e.g irregular heartbeat, dificullity to concentrate, hot flushes during the day. But i'm only 33 this year and i dont have any children yet..i wonder if at this age i could get perimenopause ? If so..am i still fertile..? Help..!!
    Also..sometimes i feel bloated in my tummy and somethings is wrong with my digestion system although i eat regularly. For information..my mum had her menopause at the age of 58.

    • ANSWER:
      Best to go to a doctor and get checked out. The worst thing you can do it read up about menopause or any other type of pain/illness etc. Because you can make yourself believe that you have those symptoms. Also a lot of symptoms are common to a lot of different conditions. A friend of mine has PCOS and she gets hot flushes every time she gets her period. As for the irregular heartbeat, I was born with one.

      don't jump to conclusions, just go to your doctor and he will tell you whats going on.

  9. QUESTION:
    I am thinking of starting on Clomid...What tests will need to be performed first?
    I went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago in part to ask about fertility. I am 38 years old and am not wanting to take any drastic measures to get pregnant. I always had a very regular period (every 28 days, could set my watch). Although they were VERY heavy and horrible. The last few years it is all over the place. Some are 21 days, others are 35+. The Dr. said this is probably because I am not ovulating every month now. Since I am 38 and have a family history of early menopause, he did a test to see if maybe I had started perimenopause, but it came back negative. About a year ago they checked for fibroids and found one small one that was so deep in the lining of the uterus that they said it shouldn't cause any problems. This recent visit the Dr. recommened starting me on Clomid to regulate my ovulation. Will they need to run any additional tests before prescribing Clomid?

    I have never been pregnant. My husband and I haven't used any form of conctreception for about 7 years, but I did check for fertility for a couple of years and we generally used back up or abstained during this time. We were NOT very careful and I never got pregnant.

    What else should I ask the Dr. when I call? Thanks for your anwers!!

    • ANSWER:
      Before starting you on Clomid they need to do an HSG test or an ultrasound first. There is no point in wasting time and money on Clomid if your tubes are blocked or unable to carry the egg to the uterus.

      I wasted two whole months on my stupid OB's suggestion to use Clomid. I finally got her to recommend a specialist (reproductive endocrinologist) and went to see him (after waiting another 3 months to get an appointment). Turns out I am slightly hypothyroid (standard blood test for TS3, TSH and TS4) and allergic to sperm (post coital test). Yes, some people say the post coital test is a waste of time, but it's the only one that shows I have a problem. It's simply just like a Pap smear the morning after you have sex.

      What should you do? Run far away from the OB and see a reproductive endocrinologist who knows what they are doing.

    What else should I ask the Dr. when I call? Thanks for your anwers!!

    • ANSWER:
      My doctor was suspicion that I didn't ovulate, even though I have very regular periods and conceived a child previously with no problem. All he did was do a simple blood test on the 24th day of my cycle (I have a 31 day cycle) to check my progesterone serum levels. Mine was an 8, too low to indicate ovulation so he prescribed Clomid. Depending on what kind of fertility doctor you have you will have to have tons of tests done or just that simple progesterone serum check. OBGYNs tend to go the more optimistic route, find the problem, fix it, and assume that there aren't any others until it is obvious there is. RE (reproductive endocrinologists) and Fertility specialists tend to test you for EVERYTHING assuming the worst and then set a path for success once all the results come in. Personally I choose to see if the Clomid would help me ovulate and give that a few months before I subjected myself, my husband, and my insurance (or bank account for what insurance didn't cover which can be alot if your insurance isn't fertility friendly) to a battery of tests that probably would just indicate I needed Clomid. When you call your doctor I would just give him/her the basic story and they will decided what you need to do from there. Good luck and may 2010 bring us both babies!

Getting Pregnant Fertile Days

Ovulation Days, When Am I Most Fertile? - Could I Have Become Pregnant?
I was just wondering as i am hoping to get pregnant. I have regular periods normally; my last one was on 22nd august. I had unprotected sex; 29th august 2008. I am not pregnant, took 3 tests all negative, could please someone tell me my most fertile days, to make sure I could highly increase my chances of getting pregnant on those days. I and my partner had unprotected sex October 3rd, night and October 4th morning (noonish). Could I be fertile then? Please help, thanks

This is a question that gets asked allover on the internet by women who are trying to get pregnant. As you might already know, getting pregnant usually boils down to timing. If you wrongly time intercourse, no matter what else you do in trying to conceive, you will not get it right. In this article, I will talk more on how to correctly time your intercourse so you have the best chances of getting pregnant. I will also provide links to more advanced recourses you can use to naturally increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Women with a regular 28 day cycle are most fertile on days 13, 14, and 15 of their cycle. So Count the first day of your period as day #1, then count forward. I would suggest having sex on days 12, 14, 16. The Dr. in my office also suggests propping your hinny afterword's for 15-20 minutes. Sound goofy, but for kids, it might well worth the efforts. Remember, sex all the time is less effective, that's why you should go with the every other day method, let your man's sperm rejuvenate.

You normally ovulate on approximately day 14 of your cycle. You can also use an ovulation calculator to calculate your most fertile periods. If you are trying to fall pregnant, it is good to start learning your cycle to see when you are ovulating. Just remember that it is not an exact science and everyone is different even though they say you should ovulate on approximate day 14, it does not always happen that way. I have regular 28 day cycles but started charting and found out I was actually ovulating normally between days 7-9. Some people ovulate later in their cycles.

There is this great infertility cure guide that has some very effective tips and tricks for enhancing fertility in women. I have recommended this guide to so many people and most, if not all of them, ended up getting pregnant within few months of trying out the recommendations in this guide. The guide I am talking about is called the: pregnancy miracle guide by Lisa Olson.

Fertility Calculator - How to More Accurately Predict When You Are Most Fertile
Have you been trying to have a baby? Many couples who try to conceive have problems becoming pregnant because they cannot pinpoint exactly when ovulation occurs.

Click Here to discover the "Secrets" to Getting Pregnant and making it Easier to Conceive!

A womans fertility window is twenty four to forty eight hours long. However, you can try to conceive three days before ovulation and two days after ovulation to increase your chances of conception.

Many women have a hard time determining their ovulation days because their menstrual cycles can be longer or shorter each month. A fertility calculator is a great tool that can give women a rough estimate of when they should engage in sexual intercourse to try and become pregnant.

The calculator asks you the date if your last menstrual period, how many days long your cycle generally is, and how long your luteal phase is. Some fertility calculators will also ask you if you want to conceive a boy or a girl so that they can help you conceive the gender of your choosing.

After this information is entered into the calculator, you will be given results that are dates which you are most likely to conceive on. Most calculators will give you dates for at least three to six months so that you can plan in advance.

If you are trying to get pregnant then you should use a fertility calculator, it is a great way to help aid in the fertility and conception process. You can also use the calculator in conjunction with ovulation tests so that you can make sure that you are timing your intercourse correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Has any1 used an ovulation calendar or calculator and got pregnant rather quickly?
    If so which ones did u use? and how long did it take for u to become pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      This is my second month using a calendar and I have a good feeling about this month. It really isnt about the calendar, but the other minor details you pay attention to. You can calculate when you're SUPPOSED to ovulate and when you're SUPPOSED to start your period, but that may not actually be the case. Keep an eye on your cervical mucus. A discharge that resembles raw egg whites with a stretchy consistency means ovulation. Another sign is mild cramps and breakouts. If your cervix is very high, soft, and open, this means that you are ovulating or about to ovulate. Low, closed, and hard either means that you are not ovulating or that you already have. Try to have sex every other day during the month (enjoyable sex) to cover all your bases and to have an off day for your man's sperm count to recharge. Also, keep saliva away from your vagina because it can kill sperm and is not a very good environment for sperm to live in. Do not use lubrication especially the ones with spermicide in it, and make sure your vagina is not "dry" because you need that cervical mucus to help the sperm swim into the uterus. Keeping a calendar is a great idea because you know the first day of your last missed period when you DO get pregnant and you can figure out about when you have ovulate. It takes a couple months for a calendar to have its benefits so you can see what kind of a cycle you are on. Good luck and much baby dust to you!!!

  2. QUESTION:
    30 weeks pregnant and not sure of my EDD?
    Am 30 weeks pregnant and my Dr gave me 12/12/11 as my EDD but when i use pregnant calculator ama getting my EDD as on 18/01/12 so which is which? my last period was on 13th April 2011. yesterday i went for check up she confirm am 30 weeks pregant. Ladies out there help me I need to be ready since am working may that day i will go to work. for the past 3 days am feeling more back pains and am really tired. HELP ME

    • ANSWER:
      Hi hun. If you are 30 weeks pregnant now, then you have approximately 10 weeks left in your pregnancy (for a total of 40 weeks, thereabouts). 10 weeks from now would put you on January 18th as your due date. A 12/12 due date would be a month early; it's incorrect, plain and simple. Mistakes happen; you need to speak with your doctor again and point this out.

      Personally, I can also point out that with my first baby, my last period was on March 28th and my due date was January 2nd (she arrived on the 7th). So again, if your last period was mid-April, then it makes sense for your due date to be mid-January. Plan for the mid-January due date and speak with your doctor about this the next chance you get.

      And hang in there! Yes, for the next 10 weeks you are going to be more tired and have more back pains, etc. The 3rd trimester is rough on the body, BUT you will get through it all and have a sweet baby to welcome soon. Good luck!

  3. QUESTION:
    At 14 days or ovulation calculator the best to get pregnant?
    My case is like this. My last menstrual is on 31 May. So should I try at 12-16 days to get pregnant or use the ovulation calculator on web to calculate my ovulation peak period?

    If use ovul calculator, how many menstrual cycle days should I put if my last menstrual on 31 May?

    Please help me!!!
    Dear Kiki76,

    My April period is on 27 April. Can you please count for me when is the best day to get pregnant in June?

    May period is on 31 May. 7 days cycle.

    Thanks a lot Kiki.

    • ANSWER:
      You should provide how long your cycle is..i.e...28 days or 31 days. If you have a 28 day cycle then you would be fertile between: Sunday, June 10, 2007 to Friday, June 15, 2007. Since those days have past your next fertile time is between: Sunday, July 8, 2007 to Friday, July 13, 2007

      I hope that helps. Good luck!

  4. QUESTION:
    What are our chances of being pregnant?
    I did the ovulation calculator and it said my best day was the 18th of this month. My b/f and i didnt know that and it was the day we first decided to try for a baby. What are our chances of getting pregnant when the calculator said that the 18th was the best day to try and consieve. I know you arent doctors but advice would we be nice. We are so excited to start our family. Thanks so much.

    • ANSWER:
      well day 1 of your cycle is the day you get your period. Women ovulate around day 14-16. This is the best time to conceive. you will also see alot of egg white cervical mucus during this time. so if you had sex around days 14-16 of your cycle, ur chances are high of being pregnant. about two weeks after you ovulate is when you can take a test (it is also the time when your period should be coming.)

  5. QUESTION:
    I got sick today for about maybe 15 20 min and people were saying your pregnant i did a pregnancy calculator?

    • ANSWER:
      you havent said if you even had sex or not. i dont think you are. the mucus is what normally comes out when you are ovulating. it normal.

  6. QUESTION:
    TO WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN PREGNANT!!! I have questions..so please have answers!?
    okay...so I am trying to get pregnant have been trying for quite awhile!
    I went onto a website to look for symptoms because I believe I am experiencing some sypmtoms. But than I saw this awesome pregnant calculator and tried it out..and i know they probably aren't accurate but I did it anyway!
    here is what I got.

    The last day of my period was October 23, 2009--which is true because thats my last day of my period.

    My fertility window was 11/01-11/11--i don't understand this because I thought it was the "day 14" is when you're most fertile. So can you tell me what that means?

    Estimated Conception Date 11/06/2009--I believe I had sex that day BUT during the past 2 months we've not had sex 3 of how every many days there are in 2 months. So im not sure if thats one of those because I know there was 3 days in a row we didnt and it was recently. and if I didn't have sex on the 6th...than why does it say that? hypothetically thinking im really pregnant right now.

    Estimated Gestational Age 2 weeks 6 days--that'd be awesome but can people find out if they're pregnant that early?

    Estimated Due Date 7/31/2010--it says only 5% make it to this date. haha.

    So basically what I want to know...is what exactly does conception mean? because when I counted that was only 6 days ago..
    So is that calculator wrong? if I'm pregnant how can I be 2 weeks and 6 days?
    HELP!?!?
    please and thank you!
    and PLEASE PLEASE tell me in the most simplest form because I'm still new to this and can't understand large terms. please and thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Let's start with the fertility window: How long is your cycle? Ovulation is measured as 14 days before your next period. For women with a perfect 28 day cycle it works out to be 14 days after the start of your last as well. Also, sperm can live, viably, inside a woman for up to 72 hours, generally it's around 48 though. Meaning if you ovulate on day 14 you are fertile day 11 - 14. I think it expands the window for those who may ovulate on differing days to (not every ovulates on day 14. some it's day 10, some it's day 20). To know for SURE what day you ovulate try some OPK's(Ovulation predictor kits) next month. They are pee on a stick just like pregnancy tests.

      For your conception date: They count conception as the day you ovulate, the day they assume your egg met his sperm. Like I said, sperm can live inside of you for 48 hours. It's actually recommended to try and conceive 24-48 hours BEFORE you ovulate. That way the sperm get a head start towards the egg and can be waiting for it to arrive. So if you had sex every single day except the 6th, you could still be pregnant. Remember though the odds are not in a woman's favour of getting pregnant. Even with perfect timing your odds are only 20-25% in any given month. 50% of healthy couples do get pregnant within the first 6 months of trying, and 90% within the first 12 but it can take a while.

      No you can't test at 2 weeks 6 days. Gestational age is measured from your last period. So really the first 2 weeks of pregnancy you are not pregnant. So conception being 6 days ago makes sense. You cannot usually get a positive until 4 weeks (or the time your period is due) So just wait. It's rough to wait but see if your period comes before wasting money on tests. Even those Early response things are useless. They are only 58% accurate 5 days early, and if you read the instructions on normal HPTs they have the same odds of showing up early. The EPTs are just a marketing gimmick.

      Also, and this is an added note, you said you had sex every day except 3...if this is in an effort to conceive it's over doing it. You only need to have sex every 48 hours, and only during your fertile window. Now if you guys are just doing it cause you have fun and want to then...wow!!! lol. But keep at it then. Just don't do it more than once a day...you need to give his sperm time to recover and re-build the troops.

  7. QUESTION:
    To women who've already had children! Trying to get pregnant! Please answer!...?
    okay...so I am trying to get pregnant have been trying for quite awhile!

    please and thank you!
    and PLEASE PLEASE tell me in the most simplest form because I'm still new to this and can't understand large terms. please and thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      1. My fertility window was 11/01-11/11--i don't understand this because I thought it was the "day 14" is when you're most fertile. So can you tell me what that means?

      - day 14 is not always THE day you are most fertile, it all depends on your body. if you want to know for sure you should buy some OPKs (Ovulation prediction kit...looks just like a pregnancy test, and it tells you when you are ovulation. the day you ovulate is YOUR most fertile day)

      2. Estimated Gestational Age 2 weeks 6 days--that'd be awesome but can people find out if they're pregnant that early?

      - yep ! IF you are 2 weeks and 6 days pregnant you could find out if you are pregnant. again, knowing when you ovulated will help a bunch bc once you ovulated you can start testing a few days later. i know people who tested 10 days after they ovulated and got a postive pregnancy test. BUT it is best to wait till you miss your period and then test. :)

      3.Estimated Due Date 7/31/2010--it says only 5% make it to this date. haha.
      lol you are considered "full term" at 37-38 weeks so you can have the baby any where between 38- 42 weeks and its "full term" so that 5 % is probably on week 40 or something.

      the calculator will go by your last period. of course if you KNOW exactly when you got pregnant then you will get a more exact date.

      hope that helps!! :) if you have any question feel free to ask!

  9. QUESTION:
    What are my REAL chances of getting pregnant after missing birth control pill?
    So I read somewhere that your chances of actually getting pregnant when you miss a pill while taking birth control is only when you miss seven doses. I missed Thursday's pill and I skipped last Sunday's pill because I accidentally doubled on Saturday (took 2 pills). Well according to my menstrual calculator I've been in my most fertile days for the past 3 days and will be ovulating on Monday. So I was just wondering what the honest to God real chances of a pregnancy happening are. If it helps any I'm taking Sprintec-28 day for birth control.

    • ANSWER:
      The 5 month old sittin in my lap right now tells me there is a real chance of getting pregnant on the pill. I agree with the other person, use back up method until next pill pack. Best of luck!

  10. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant?
    I just want to know what the chances of getting pregnant from unprotected sex are.
    For two healthy, fertile adults.
    My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on Nov. 1st, but used the "pull out" method. Then we had unprotected sex again on Nov. 7th and didn't use the "pull out" method. We had sex twice in a row on the 7th without pulling out.
    According to an ovulation calculator, I was supposed to be ovulating on the 8th....
    what are the chances that we will end up pregnant?
    Are there any?
    Helpful answers please!! Thank you!

    • ANSWER:

  11. QUESTION:
    What are your chances of getting pregnant on the last day of ovulation?
    My fiance and I are getting married in 3 weeks, however we had sex 2 days ago and I'm not on the pill. I'm not concerned because we want to get pregnant after the wedding...so a little bit early isn't the end of the world. I used on online ovulation calculator and it told me that we had sex on the last day that I 'should' have been ovulating. Just wondering how common it is to get pregnant on that day when we didn't have sex at any other point this month?

    Has this happened to anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      online calculators really can't predict when you ovulate. that's because every woman's cycle is a little different, and many women ovulate on a different day each cycle. so the online calculator is just a general guideline, more or less, and can't be trusted. i would take it with a grain of salt.

      if you want to know when you ovulate, otherwise known as your most fertile days, buy a Clearblue fertility monitor or else use Ovulation Predictor Kit test strips, or better yet, chart your fertility signs by taking your basal body temperature every morning before you get out of bed. Its very easy and doesn't cost anything. You just take your temperature every day and write down the result on a chart. Then you will know EXACTLY when you ovulate.

      other than that, PLEASE start taking a daily prenatal vitamin to make sure you get your folic acid requirement. just in case you are pregnant, you don't want your baby to have spina bifida or some other birth defect becauase you weren't taking your prenatal vitamins. also, please don't drink if there is any chance you might be pregnant!

      good luck and congrats on the wedding

  12. QUESTION:
    Had sex 2 days before I'm expected to ovulate, is there a good chance of getting pregnant?
    Had sex 2 days before expected to ovulate, good chance I could become pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to conceive and an ovulation calculator said I would probably ovulate on the 22nd-27th. We had sex multiple times on the 20th, 21st and the 23rd. I also slept with a pillow under my hips which I believe helped me to get pregnant last time. Is there a good chance I could conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you have a good chance as sperm can live inside you for 5-7 days. However, I wouldn't always trust the ovulation calculators as they don't pick up variations in your cycle.

      It may be better to try ovulation tests. They predict when you are about to ovulate so can help pinpoint the best time for sex too. Good luck

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the likely hood of getting pregnant 3 days after my period.?
    My boyfriend and i had sex today, three days after my period. We did not use protection. I calculated on Webmds ovulation calculator and it said my most fertile day is 11/2. Today is the 1st.
    What is the possibility that I'm pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      It's extremely high.

      Sperm can live inside a female for up to 5 days. That's why it's unsafe to have unprotected sex before you ovulate!

      If your next period is late by more than a week, take a pregnancy test. You can buy one at virtually any supermarket or drugstore, and they're normally very accurate. Or you can get one done at your local Planned Parenthood health center. If it turns out that you are pregnant and don't currently want to be a mother, go to Planned Parenthood -- the doctors and counselors there are EXTREMELY helpful and can help you decide what to do.

      I hope that helped!

  14. QUESTION:
    what are the risks of birth defects if getting pregnant too soon after stopping birth control?
    my boyfriend and i are trying to get pregnant.
    if i stop taking my pills today (monday).
    and try to get pregnant on saturday.
    could it happen?
    i last started my period on nov. 11th.
    today is the beginning of my second week of pills for this pack.
    i did an ovulation calculator and i would be ovulating on the 26th.
    would it be more likely for me to start my period early or get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Though the probability of pregnancy would no longer be 99.9%, it would still protect you to some degree. You will have better luck next month. There should be no risk of birth defects from getting pregnant too soon after the Pill. If you are still concerned, though, all of the risks and adverse side affects will be listed on the instruction sheet that comes in your pill package.

  15. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of getting pregnant?
    My boyfriend and I are planing to have a kid. We are not sure when is the right time. My first day of my period was on nov.9-12. I checked my ovulation calculator and it said that I'm ovulating on the 23. I had unprotected sex everyother day, since the day wen my period ended. But today I been feeling very nauseas headaches and abdominal pain and I been having fluid very little tho is it normal? Is there a chance I might already be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      When ever you have unprotected sex there's always a chance of getting pregnant! Good luck!

  16. QUESTION:
    Do I have an good chance of getting pregnant ?
    Im 21 years old and my cycle came on the 30th the ovulation calculator said that im likely to be most fertile from Saturday, October 11, 2008 to Thursday, October 16, 2008. My husband and I had sex on the 7th and 8th how long does sperm last can I get pregnant from having sex on those day.

    • ANSWER:
      Sperm can last for 24 hrs( I guess), as your most fertile days are known, try doing that every day or every alternate day.
      That will increase the chances.
      Try using a OPK then you will know for sure when you are ovulating. Then you can do on that time for sure.

      All the best!

  17. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant intercourse 2 days before ovulation?
    My husband and I had intercourse on 9/21. My ovulation starts on 9/23 according to the ovualtion calculator. What are my chances of conceiving?

    • ANSWER:
      If you did actually ovulate on the 23rd then the 21st would have been either the day of your lh surge or the day before.

      Lh surges happen usually 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.

      You are the most fertile during the day of your lh surge so you have a have a good chance.

      I would recommend using an opk to detect exact lh surge.

  18. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of me getting pregnant the first month of trying?
    We used the ovulation calculator to help us because we are ready to be parents... What are the chances in the first month of trying?and what should i look for?

    • ANSWER:
      I went off BC and figured it'd take a few months to get out of my system since I'd been on it for almost 15 years. I planned on getting the hang of charting my cycle and then when I was ready it'd be easy to get pregnant. Well...it was easier than I thought. I took my last BC pill Nov 30 and figured out I was pregnant by New Years! Didn't even need the chart.

  19. QUESTION:
    Can a calculator get you pregnant?

    • ANSWER:

  20. QUESTION:
    Will being overweight hurt my chances of getting pregnant?
    My husband and I are considering getting pregnant in the next year or two...
    My BMI is about 29.3, my fat percentage is somewhere close to 31% by army standards (its hard to get close with online calculators). I have a small waist to hip ratio which lowers chances of heart disease, stroke, high cholesterol and such... I don't really feel overweight and I'm happy with my body, but by numbers, I am overweight - am I overweight enough for it to make getting pregnant difficult?

    • ANSWER:
      For some women yes, for some women no. With my first pregnancy I had something like 28% body fat. With my second it was around the same, but with this one I'd gone up to 33%. I have had no trouble getting pregnant and I give birth to healthy babies. However, my sister in law was severely overweight when she and my brother were trying for their second child and it took her a year and a half to finally get pregnant. I don't know if it was simply because she was overweight though.

      Overweight women get pregnant and have babies all the time, it really just depends on how overweight you are I think. Naturally it's better to be at a healthier weight, but I've found that even being overweight concieving has not been hard for me. Good luck!

  21. QUESTION:

  22. QUESTION:
    im 4months pregnant(according to online Calculator) and only been to the doctor once (for preg.test)is tht bad?
    im 4 months and my stomach is huge!
    i cant be any more than 4 months because i didn't have sex before that
    i had a ultrasound when i planned on getting a abortion (change my mind really fast) but the doctor didn't tell me anything he just took a thousand pictures so i could have 5 babies inside of me and not even know...

    i haven't had any prenatal care or anything...

    and my breast went up in one cup size and my nipple are always hard and they hurt (sorry for all the info) and they itch a lot pretty much my only symptom...

    does anyone know if i absolutely need prenatal care.. or if my baby willl be healthy with out it
    i have insurance threw my dad and we live in different states ... and i cant use my insurance in the state im in

    • ANSWER:
      It is illegal for a woman to be pregnant and not see a doctor. I believe it's called child endangerment. You need to get prenatal care as soon as possible. The baby could be unhealthy, for all you know.

      EDIT: It actually is illegal. Look it up..

      Maybe it isn't everywhere. But it could be illegal where you live. It is where I live and I live in North Carolina. It is highly illegal. I have known people in that situation.

      EDIT: Depending where you live, you can sign up for pregnancy medicaid and it will cover the expenses of appointments, hospital bills, etc.

  26. QUESTION:
    Are there any calculators on the internet to calculate the chances of getting a girl pregnant?
    So like what if i use a condom, and she is on birth control, and then she used plan b just for extra protection? whaat are the chances. And no i will not keep it in my pants thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Usually birth control will suffice; birth control AND condoms will almost always suffice and a combination of all three will prove to obliterate any chance your sperm had of fertilizing her egg. you should be good.

  27. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant on cd 11 with a 30 day cycle?
    I have done several ovulation calculators and it seems a few days too early to be possible. My period was due on the 24th but nothing yet. I will take a test in a few days but was wondering what you guys thought? Did any of you conceive as early as this? Thanks alot guys xx

    • ANSWER:
      It all depends on the day of ovulation...I had a 28-29 day cycle but I ovulated (based on BBT & OPK) bewteen CD 15-19, with an 11 day luteal phase...

      If I had just thought since my cycle was an average 28 days that must make ovulation day 14, I would have missed it most of the time...

      I charted BBT w/OPK and cervical mucous and postiion, for 6 months before we even started to try, just so I could look for a pattern in my cycles...When we began to try it only took us the first time, cause I already knew what MY personal rythym was!

      I highly reccomend Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler great book, even for those who just want to know more about their bodies...

  28. QUESTION:
    ** Could I be pregnant? **?
    I am on the pill, I have been for over a year now. I make sure to take it every day at the same time and have multiple alarms, to make sure I don't forget. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on Feb. 2, 2012 & Feb. 4, 2012 and haven't gotten my period since. It was due Feb. 18. I know online calculators aren't the most reliable, but I used a few to see what dates I "conceived," before knowing whether or not I actually COULD be pregnant. Every calculator said between Jan. 29 & Feb. 6. I took a home pregnancy test 3 days after the date my period was due and it was negative. Is there a possibility that I am pregnant? Should I take another test?
    Edit*** - I have also gained 5-10 pounds within the last month. I had light spotting for about 3-4 hrs on the 22nd of February and nothing since. Period is rarely irregular.

  29. QUESTION:
    How accurate is an ultrasound and conception calculator?
    My ultrasound on January 31 said that I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. According to a conception calculator, this would mean I had intercourse around December 22! However, this is for the average person. How likely is it that you get pregnant on your period? I have heard of rare cases, but it happens. Here is the real deal: If I got pregnant before December 10, it could be someone else's baby (other than who I am actually with). Although, this is unlikely, is it possible? I am very scared. Please ease some worry.

    • ANSWER:
      Well from experience my ultrasound first said tht i ws 13 weeks, with a due date of aug 31 then a few months later my doc said the ultrasound was wrong that i was due july 17 i had my son june 24 and it ws then determined he was almost 2 months premature. Still to this day i dnt knw hw they cud have been so wrong, my advice is to look through a 1 month window. Its really hard to pin point your exact conception, count back exactly 8 weeks and look n tht window good luck

  30. QUESTION:

  31. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant on last day of ovulation?
    I used a ovulation calculator so i would know what days i ovulate. My husband and I had sex on my estimated last day of ovulation, and he did not pull out. So I am asking if it is possible that i could be pregnant? i am due for my cycle next week,

    • ANSWER:
      You are able to get pregnant at any time during ovulation. If the first day of your period is 1/1/07 you are able to become pregnant between 1/7/07 and 1/14/07. The most dangerous days to conceive would be 1/10/07 to 1/12/07. This is if you have a regular 28 day cycle. If what you mean by last day of ovulation you mean 1/28/07 in this example it would be almost impossible. It is not likely that you could become pregnant for seven days prior to the start of your period as your body starts to discard the unfertilized egg. The egg is only viable for about 48-72 hours during the ovulation period and than it dies. Hope this helps

  32. QUESTION:
    How do you determine the EXACT day you ovulate/ get pregnant?
    My ovulation calculator says I got pregnant anytime between Oct 17 and Oct 22 and my due date would be july 13th 2011...my doctors are saying my due date will be july 2 2011. How do i know when i concieved? i know that you can only get pregnant in a 12-24 hour period when the egg is released. And yes i know the EXACT first day of my last period and my cycle lenth is about 30 days.

  33. QUESTION:
    Are my chances good on getting pregnant?
    The first day of my last period was sept 2nd according to ovulation calculators I was suppose to be fertile from like the 12th to the 16 or 17th of september so I BD on the 11th 13th 14th 16th and 17th..how good would you say my chances are of conceiving.
    And if so when would the symptoms start.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how long your cycle is. Do you know if you are 28 days? If so you have a very good chance of conception, even better if you had gone every day instead of every other day.

      Every woman is different as far as symptoms go. When I was first pregnant I remember that I had really sore boobs with dark veins, and my uterus was getting harder, I could feel it if I pressed down on it.

      But this early it's very easy to confuse pregnancy signs with pms signs, they are so similar.

      Good luck! I hope everything works out for you.

  36. QUESTION:
    Having trouble with getting pregnant?
    I am 18 and have been on the Nuva Ring for two years. I took it out on March 7th and had my period on March 9th til March 13th. I recently took it out March 18th because I want another child. Then on March 21st til the 24th I had a very heavy period. When am I supposed to ovulate? What was the heavy bleeding for? Do i base it off of my period from being on the Nuva Ring or just wait for another period? Will an ovulation calculator help now? And how do I use one? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I was on Nuvaring for years. I stopped in January and a similar thing happened to me. Consider March 21 your first day of the cycle (CD1). You didn't mention how many days your cycle is so it's difficult to determine when your next ovulation day is going to be. Plus, it may take up to 6 months for your cycles to regulate after you go off the Nuvaring. The best thing to do is start tracking as of March 21st. You can go on fertilityfriend.com and track your cycles for the next few months to pick up on a possible pattern. Best of luck! xoxo

  37. QUESTION:
    SOOOO DESPERATE! To mothers who've already experienced this! :) ?
    okay...so I am trying to get pregnant have been trying for quite awhile!
    I went onto a website to look for symptoms because I believe I am experiencing some sypmtoms. But than I saw this awesome pregnant calculator and tried it out..and i know they probably aren't accurate but I did it anyway!
    here is what I got.

    The last day of my period was October 23, 2009--which is true because thats my last day of my period.

    My fertility window was 11/01-11/11--i don't understand this because I thought it was the "day 14" is when you're most fertile. So can you tell me what that means?

    Estimated Conception Date 11/06/2009--I believe I had sex that day BUT during the past 2 months we've not had sex 3 of how every many days there are in 2 months. So im not sure if thats one of those because I know there was 3 days in a row we didnt and it was recently. and if I didn't have sex on the 6th...than why does it say that? hypothetically thinking im really pregnant right now.

    Estimated Gestational Age 2 weeks 6 days--that'd be awesome but can people find out if they're pregnant that early?

    Estimated Due Date 7/31/2010--it says only 5% make it to this date. haha.

    So basically what I want to know...is what exactly does conception mean? because when I counted that was only 6 days ago..
    So is that calculator wrong? if I'm pregnant how can I be 2 weeks and 6 days?
    HELP!?!?
    please and thank you!
    and PLEASE PLEASE tell me in the most simplest form because I'm still new to this and can't understand large terms. please and thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Even if you have a normal 28 day cycle you wont necessarily ovulate on the 14th day, it can vary from woman to woman and month to month. That being said the window they give u is usually a 5 day window based around the possibility that you can ovulate a couple days before or after the average. Also sperm can live in you for anywhere 1 to 5 days so if you had sex on the 6th and u didnt ovulate until for example the 9th, there is still a possibility that you could concieve. Conception is when the sperm enters the egg. If you did concieve 6 days ago when u believe you did then fetal age is 6 days and gestation age is 2 weeks and 6 days. I know this can be very confusing but once you get pregnant you are consideded to be already 2 weeks pregnant because they count from the first day of ur last cycle. Normal pregnancy is 40 weeks, but ur actually only carrying the baby for 38. I really hope this helps i know its confusing stuff. If you have any other questions let me kno and i'll be glad to help! And let me kno what happens! Good luck!!

    Is it bad to paint when you could possibly just have become pregnant?
    My husband and i are currently TTC. I have been working on painting my kitchen and other rooms in the house. I know its not good to be around paint fumes when you are pregnant, but according to ovulation calculators i should just be done ovulating right now.. Is it bad to continue painting for a couple more days to get it done? or could it affect or harm whatever might be happening in my body? I want to finish it now b/c if i am pregnant it might be another year before it gets done!

    • ANSWER:
      I painted my baby's cot while I was pregnant and he was fine. I painted my staircase whilst pregnant (must be crazy!!) and my little girl was fine.

      Though - I did use the new non-toxic fume free paints. They are brilliant and you don't need to worry. If you aren't sure about your pregnancy you need to take care of your little unborn bubby. Get your hubby to finish the painting for you or wear a "duck" mask (metal shaped mask that protects your nose and mouth - fits very tightly) and keep all the windows open and be careful.

  40. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of becoming pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      You have a more than average chance because you were still ovulating 20-25%

  42. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had any success getting pregnant, or predicting their ovulation with,?
    off of the online ovulation calculators?? let me know your success stories, I'm trying to get pregnant and would like to know if that is a good resource for ovulation prediction.

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah, that's what I used. I was on and off...either on a 28 day cycle or 35...never any other day. kind of weird. So, I found two sites whose answers were similar and did the calculations for
      both cycles. I went off those dates, and had sex every other day. Also, try watching your discharge. When it gets thicker, you're ovulating...Any time I noticed my hubby and I ran to the bedroom! ha ha! Im now 4 months preg. and those are the only things I did in order to figure out when I was ovulating! good luck!!

  43. QUESTION:
    If I am 31 weeks today, does that mean I can count back 31 weeks and that is the exact day that I got pregnant?
    When I type my due date in the calculator, it says I got pregnant around Jan 4 but when I count back 31 weeks and four days, it is Dec 18. So why is this?

    • ANSWER:
      Pregnancy is always calculated based on the first day of your last period,the time you actually conceived would have been around two weeks after that depending on how regular your cycles are because ovulation normally happens mid cycle so on a 28 day cycle two weeks after the first day of your last period approximately.

  44. QUESTION:
    27 weeks pregnant and feeling fat and ugly?
    I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant and according to weight calculator online I found, it says I've gained too much weight and I'm feeling extremely fat and ugly. I was just wondering about what everybody else has gained for weight (I've gained about 20 pounds so far, and I was a bit on the chubby side before I got pregnant) Also I'm wondering if anybody else is feeling this way, and if you are what you do to make yourself feel better.

    • ANSWER:
      I feel huge too, but its ok, we wont be pregnant forever! I've gained almost 20lbs myself.

  45. QUESTION:
    is it possible to get pregnant .........?
    Okay so me and my fiance are trying to get pregnant. some people are telling me il only get pregnant on ovulation days some people tell me that i can get pregnant anyday of the month. He comes back from a tour april 23rd and on all the ovulation calculators is says my ovulation ends the day before and some say the 23rd some say dayes before that. What im trying to ask is is there any chances of getting pregnant even if calculators online say id of already ovulated?

    • ANSWER:
      Every month, during ovulation, you have a 20-25% chance of getting pregnant. But some people ovulate at strange times. So, ideally you can get pregnant at any time. Before, during or after your period. there are no safe days for you to have sex without getting pregnant. But its highly unlikely unless you have ovulated. Your egg is fertile fore about 48 hours and a males sperm can live up to 5 days. So if those days coincide, your chances of pregnancy are higher.

Getting Pregnant At 45

Getting Pregnant In Your 40S
Getting pregnant in your 40s

If you've put off pregnancy because of work or relationship concerns or because you simply weren't ready, you may feel like the woman on the 1980s cartoon who laments, "Oh my God, I forgot to have children!" There's no denying your odds of getting pregnant are now far lower than just a few years ago. After 45, experts say, it's almost impossible to get pregnant using your own eggs.

At the same time, many 40-plus women do get pregnant, some using fertility treatments and some not. And recent studies have shown there may be benefits to waiting to have children, for both you and your child.

Pros
Probably the greatest advantage of waiting to have children is that you've waited to have children. You've had time to grow and to see the world; you're presumably more secure financially and more comfortable in your career. If you've been with your partner for a while you will have had the chance to get to know each other in a variety of circumstances, which will provide a solid foundation for raising a family.
There's some evidence that older mothers, (who are, in general, better educated than young mothers) make wiser parenting decisions. They're more likely to breastfeed and, according to one recent study, to eat more healthily.

Waiting to have children also has financial benefits. According to one study in the UK, "Women who give themselves more years of experience in the workplace before having children tend to come back to work quicker after their maternity leave. Because they're more connected to their employer, it's easier for them to come back part-time if they want to, rather than leave the labour market altogether."

Susan Heitler, a family and marriage therapist, believes that the best time to have children is in your late 20s to early 30s, but she also sees pluses for couples who wait: "Parents in their 40s are often more focused on their children than younger parents," she points out. "They've had time to travel and to have a broad range of experiences before having children. They have less financial pressure, and more of a 'been there, done that' attitude towards hard partying and 60-hour working weeks."

Nicole, a mother of five and sales director of a large hotel, says that, at 41, she has less energy than she used to, but on the other hand is a wiser and more patient parent. "In your 20s and your 30s, you tend to put too much pressure on yourself as a parent," she reflects. "You think it will be a disaster if things don't go just right. If you don't have time to buy a present before a birthday party, for example, you stress out about it. As an older parent, I find things don't bother me as much."

On a practical level, "when you're a single parent in your 20s and you're late for work, it can cost you your job, which means you may not be able to pay the rent," she adds. "Now I'm at a level where I have job security and financial security. I don't have to worry about things like that, so I'm a lot more relaxed."

Cons
The biggest downside to putting off pregnancy until your 40s is significant: the longer you wait, the harder it is to get pregnant. This is principally because, as early as 15 years before a woman goes through menopause, the number of her eggs begins to decline and the eggs that are produced are more likely to have chromosomal problems that raise the risk for miscarriage and birth defects.
There's a big difference in egg viability between the early 40s and the mid to late 40s. "There's a steep drop in fertility in the 40s," says Julia Johnson, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. "Your odds of getting pregnant at 41 are much better than they are at 43."

A recent study in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility confirms her point. Researchers found that 40-year-old women treated for infertility had a 25 per cent chance of achieving pregnancy using their own eggs. By age 43 that number dropped to 10 per cent, and by 44 it had plummeted still further to 1.6 per cent. Among women who did get pregnant, the miscarriage rate was 24 per cent for 40-year-olds, 38 per cent for 43-year-olds, and 54 per cent for 44-year-olds.

Fertility expert James Goldfarb says that, in his 30 years on the job, he has never seen a woman get pregnant with her own eggs after age 46. "It's like buying a lottery ticket," he says. "Yes, someone wins every once in a while, but you shouldn't bank on it." (Note: if you don't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't take this to mean that you can stop using contraception at 46. Instead you should wait until you are sure that you have stopped ovulating.)

Using a donor egg boosts the odds of getting pregnant considerably, and according to Dr Goldfarb, that's how most of the older celebrity mums are doing it, whether they admit it or not. "The fact that they don't talk about it openly does a real disservice to other women," he says. "We get at least one patient a month who comes in with the false hope that she can get pregnant using her own eggs."

Pregnancy complications are another concern. In your 40s you're more likely to develop problems like high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy, as well as placental problems and birth complications. Women over 40 have a higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight or premature baby. Stillbirth rates are also higher, and studies show that children born to older mothers are themselves at increased risk of type-1 diabetes and high blood pressure.

And don't forget about your partner; his age can affect his fertility too. Although men are physically capable of fathering children in their 60s and even their 70s, sperm quality deteriorates with age, and there's a higher rate of genetic defects than there is with the sperm of younger men. In recent years clinical trials have found links between the father's age and genetically related conditions such as Down's syndrome and schizophrenia.

All these downsides can be disheartening, but don't forget that some women do get pregnant well into their 40s (Cherie Blair had her fourth child, Leo, at 45) and many of them have complication-free pregnancies and healthy babies. Plus, while older mothers may be at higher risk for pregnancy complications, the overall risk is low.

One more caveat: while there are financial advantages to waiting to have children, there may be liabilities as well. "If you wait, you're likely to have to continue working to an older age, for one thing," says financial planner Marnie Azner. "You'll still have financial responsibilities at a time when many of your friends are beginning to retire. If you haven't been putting aside money for retirement up until now, it's going to get even harder to do so after you have children. Other things become more expensive, too, like life and health insurance. Finally, if you have trouble getting pregnant, the cost of fertility treatments can really add up."

Your odds of success
Roughly two thirds of women over 40 have fertility problems. Once you pass 40, time is pitiless. You have about a five-per-cent chance of getting pregnant in any single menstrual cycle, according to Sherman Silber, a leading fertility specialist and author of four bestselling fertility books, including How to Get Pregnant. At 40 your chance of conceiving within a year is about 40 to 50 per cent, compared to a woman in her mid-30s, who has a 75-per-cent chance. By age 43, a woman's chance of pregnancy plummets to one or two per cent.

Why the steep drop-off? Silber says it's all about the eggs. From the time you reach puberty, with your eggs numbering around 300,000, you'll lose about 13,000 eggs a year. Over the years this steady drop in egg supply will leave you with about 25,000 eggs by age 37. At 37 comes a precipitous drop in fertility. "By age 43, you're really at the end of your egg supply," Silber says, "and your chances of pregnancy are slim."

Miscarriage rates begin to skyrocket in your 40s as well. From age 40 to 44, the rate of miscarriage is 34 per cent, and it rises to 53 per cent for women 45 and older (compared to 10 per cent at age 20 and 12 per cent at age 30). After age 40, the risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure and diabetes is twice as high as it is for a woman in her 20s. The odds of genetic problems also jump as you get older: at 40, your chance of having a child with Down's syndrome is one in 110; at 45 it's one in 30. Since risks of genetic problems increase in this age group, doctors may recommend diagnostic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling for women this age.

First-time mothers over 40 also have a 43-per-cent chance of having a caesarean (compared with 14 per cent for first-time mothers in their 20s), although some experts believe this partly due to the fact that older mothers are perceived as "high risk" even if their pregnancy is straightforward. The incidence of low-birthweight and stillborn babies is higher as well.

One very positive fact on your side: there's no better time in history to try to get pregnant as an older mother, given the range of new fertility treatments now available. While in vitro fertilisation (IVF) success rates begin to fall after age 35, your chance of success using donor eggs remains high, with a live birth rate of around 28 per cent. For women in their 40s whose eggs are donated by a woman in her 20s or 30s, the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal problems is consistent with the age of the egg donor.

  4. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant at 45?
    I've just turned 45. I have four children, my youngest is 12. The father of my kids and I are divorced and I have just remarried and would love to have a second chance in life after all the pain I had been through.
    I am considering having a baby but I am not sure whether it's a crazy idea. The problem is that I have a chronic depression and I must take anti-depressants every day. I also had a drinking problem, recovered twice and relapsed twice. I now only drink socially. I think having a baby would make wonderful changes in my life but considering the circumstances, would that be irrational?

  10. QUESTION:
    I want to get pregnant at 45 years old, what should I do?

    • ANSWER:
      I am TTC at the age of 40. I conceived in Dec 07 and lost the baby at 8 weeks (missed abortion). I have been trying to conceive since the miscarriage. Make sure you get a basic fertility work up and your partner had his sperm count done. We wasted 2 years thinking it was me just to find out after my miscarriage that my husband has a a low sperm count. The doctors naturally assumed it was me bc I was over 35 and he has two other children from his previous marriage. I had a blood test done on day 3 of my cycle which came back under 10 which is good. I also had an endometrial biopsy which showed my uterus was healthy and ovulation was occurring. I had the HSG test done to show my tubes were open and not clogged. I also chart my temps after my cycle ends and I am very aware of my own personal fertility signs. Just be very proactive and don't let people discourage you bc of your age. I have a very good support network, I try to eat right and exercise and take prenatal vitamins. Do your own research prior to TTC and get as much info as you can from the internet prior to going to the doctor. Good luck to you. Karen, TTC at 40 and very hopeful

  11. QUESTION:
    My mom is pregnant at 45....?
    It honestly was a surprise, she wasnt trying to get pregnant at all. But on halloween she had a few drinks and apparently her and my father fooled around and now she is sixteen weeks pregnant... im really really worried about her.. abotu complications with the birth because of her age and she is under alot of stress right now ... any adivce or opinons would be appreciated. She wants the baby sooooo much though =]

    • ANSWER:
      My mom had a baby when she was 45 too. I was only 11 at the time (which was 14 years ago!!), and man was it a suprise! They are treated like a high risk pregnancy, but otherwise they seem to do just fine. I would say you need to help her to keep her stress levels down, try helping her to relax- maybe even some pregnancy massages a little later on would be good for her. Try to help around the house, don't give her a hard time and be happy for her!! She needs to make sure she follows all doctors orders as far as if she is to be put on bed rest and what her limitations on things are. My moms had a regular labor and delivery and both mom and baby were healthy afterwards. Good Luck and I'm sure she'll be alright, just take care of her!!

  22. QUESTION:
    Any one get pregnant with a 45 day cycle?
    I have PCOS and am currently on metformin to regulate my cycle. Before starting this, I rarely had a cycle, and if i did, it was very sporatic. Since starting the metformin at the end of August, AF has been predictable, but only every 45 days (twice now). I haven't been able to check for ovulation due to 2 medical procedures right around the time of both AFs, but I was just curious if anyone else had similar long cycles and was able to get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      My cycle is usually very unpredictable. It varies from 30-60 days, usually. I have had one successful pregnancy. I am trying for number 2. It helps to use an ovulation predictor kit to track your LH surge. My doctor recommended it, even though it is possible to get false positives with PCOS. It is a great tool that a doctor can use to help you figure out what is going on with your body.

  27. QUESTION:
    Is there any hope of getting pregnant and having a baby at 45?
    Hello to all of you who have followed my story with my husband and I. He has agreed to having a baby if we can do it natural enshala as with God's help. Now I have had yesterday my FSH which was 7 LH 3 and Estrodal 68. Now from what I hear is that it is good. I do not use birth control and have never had any female hormonal problems. Then what is stopping me from conceiving? Is it possible to conceive at 45 my birthday was in September. Please send me any advice you have and if you want to say I am too old or the medical risk. Don't respond I already know that part of it but if you have something logical or some knowledge or experience of someone my age or older that conceived and had a child...PLEASE! PLEASE! share it with me to give me strength and support. This will not be my first child and I did have my last child at 40 who is beyond normal. Thank for your support and helping with this, I am really in pain over this..Any doctors that have advice also, I am open to it.

  29. QUESTION:
    My sister has delayed having children and she's now turning 45. What are her chances of getting pregnant?
    Is it possible to have a child at an age over 45? She knows all about the risks at this age. So, please only respond about getting pregnant and the chances of success. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      The current stats are that half of all women who want to get pregnant at 45 cannot get pregnant using any means available. So, yes, she can try, but her chances of success are less than 50%. I believe this stat includes miscarriages, but am not sure. I do know the miscarriage rate is quite high. My grandmother had a perfectly healthy baby at 52, and my best friend was born when her mother was 48. Tell her to go for it! I would!

    Could Drink At All At my Wedding?
    I' am 45 and pregnant for the first time. I'm getting married and I' am 12 weeks pregnant and I will be about 21 weeks pregnant on my wedding day now I asked my doctor if ok for me to drink at my wedding and my doctor said 1 or 2 will be ok and even my boyfriend said 1 or 2 and he is a doctor but he only doe's breast in plants and he still knows about pregnancy's. I just would like to double check if I could drink at all at my wedding.

    • ANSWER:
      I would say it's really not worth it. You never really know how it might affect your baby so I wouldn't take the risk. You'll have such a great day anyways without needing to have a drink! Maybe get your venue to create a fancy non-alcoholic drink that way you have something to toast with?

  33. QUESTION:
    I am 13 weeks pregnant with my second child. Every day at 2:45 I start to fall asleep. Why?
    This pregnancy is nothing like my last on, but it has also been 8 years since then. It's like clock work, every day at 2:45 I start to fall asleep. 5 days a week I am at work when it happens and I start to nod off in front of my computer! I absolutely can not be driving at 2:45 cause I'm afraid I'll crash.

    I don't just get tired, I literally can't keep my eyes open!!

    Does anyone know why this is happening? Or how I can fix it?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, being a mother of three kids, I also experienced what I fondly call "D.E.A.N." (Drop Everything And Nap). When you have kids, you gradually become more tired as the days go on. The kids probably wear you down so much you revert to child-like behaviors and take an afternoon nap. Whatever you do, don't worry. Try this:
      If your husband doesn't do much of the work with the kids, ask him to do their nightly routine while you go to sleep early.
      Let me know if it works!

  34. QUESTION:
    Is it weird for the mom and the daugter to be pregnant at the same time?
    I over heard my 2 sisters talming about being pregnant at the same time as my mom. My 22 yr old sister had a baby and my mom got pregnant a few months before the baby was due. Now my 19 yr old sister is pregnant and my mom who is 45 yr old is almost due (twins on Christmas day). I am 13 btw.

      Yes.

      It means one or both has no business being pregnant...in this case, the teenage one.

  35. QUESTION:
    Can i be pregnant?
    ok, so my boyfriend took off the condom in the middle of sex. don't ask me why, I only found out after the fact. We both feel that if it happens it happens. I've been stressing at the fact that it really can be possible, I think. This is the problem. I'm so irregular with my periods that I have no idea when I ovulate. I started tracking my cycle since Decmember and it changes month to month. My cycle in the beginning of the year was 45, last month it was 35. I'm currently on day 40. I've used online ovulation calendars to see when I possibly ovulate. I've done it for different cycle lengths. The incident happened on the 16th. For a 35 day cycle, the 16th would be a low possibility, but i would have had my period already. For a 40 day cycle, the 16th is perfect for getting pregnant. For a 45 day cycle I would be in the clear. Should I worry or wait till after the 45th day? And is it too early to take a home pregnancy test? he did pull out, (i know, just hoping!)

    Ok I got a call from the local shelter I volunteer at and they asked if I could foster a dog for a few weeks the only thing I didn't know and they didn't tell me was she is about 45 days pregnant. She is a little 4 pound chihuahua and she looks like a little beach ball right now. I almost told them no but I could see they were desperate so I took the little girl in.
    The only problem is I am not sure what to do or what to look for if there is a problem. The shelters vet already gave her a once over and she is very healthy and they think she has about two or three pups.
    I've been looking a lot of things up on the internet but if all you breeders here can give me a list of what to do, what to look for, how to handle it..etc... I would appreciate it
    I do have some money for C-section just in case and I'm letting my vet know Monday I have her.

    And in case your wondering the people who gave her up decided at the last moment they didn't want to take care of a mother dog and her pups and it was against their beliefs to have the pups aborted...and the real kicker is they asked if they could have her back after she has the puppies. 0.O
    thanks all
    No they told the original owners to piss off. And yes everyone obviously I have no experience that is so very obvious to me. >:(

    • ANSWER:
      You're not prepared or capable of doing anything but a scheduled c-section. You have no idea what she bred to, and a 4 lb Chi should NEVER have been given to inexperienced hands to whelp. What you SHOULD do, is tell the shelter that you will foster another dog, or dogs, and this one can be placed with someone with some experience who's in a position to do something other than sit back and hope all goes well

  37. QUESTION:
    Is it possible my dog could breed through the fence and be pregnant?
    I am very very confused. I just adopted a female dog from the pound a month ago, and i took her in to get her spayed. This was the next available appointment at my vets office. During her examination, the vet said she looked pretty plump and has signs of pregnancy! He took her to get an x-ray, and there were 6 little puppy skeletons! What the hell!!! That means she around 45 days pregnant!! she hasn't been around any male dogs! i did notice she was a little thicker but i thought it was just her adjusting to having adequate food or something. im so confused, SO in a time frame of about 40 minutes could she have mated with a male dog through the fence at the shelter during her "play time"?. the male and female play yards are right next to each other and they hadn't spayed her yet because she was new, and i guess they have have a waiting period of a month or something. [of course i had to sign a contract to get her spayed by my vet when i left, or i could wait until she got spayed by the vet there]
    or could she have been pregnant before she even arrived there and they didnt notice it?

    I am so confused!!!!so i guess my question is how long does it take for a dog to mate?!
    im so confused and annoyed right now i cant even explain it.
    My vet said the risks outweigh the benefits with spaying her this far along, and that it would just be better to let her have the puppies.

    now my worries : What if the dog she mated with was alot bigger than her. would my vet catch that? or should i bring it up myself? [she is only 18 pounds]
    then would the benefits outweight the risks?
    if thats the case, could my vet do a c-section/spay when she is ready to have the puppies?
    im going back to the vet in a week but i cant help but wonder, so maybe you could help me with some answers.

    one last thing:KJGFJGFVEFWEGVWE god im so annoyed. i adopted a dog from the shelter so i could HELP poor starving homeless animals, NOT create more!!!!!
    i was going to adopt another dog from that shelter but im not so sure now!! i might be stuck with 6 more!!

  38. QUESTION:
    Scared to have sex???
    I'm 45 and my doctor took me off the birthcontrol pills for fear the clump of blood vessels on my liver may burst. So now I have to put up with the pain and agony of endometriosis AND I could get pregnant if I'm not careful. I am SO afraid of getting pregnant at 45 that I'm scared to have sex! Well sort of. I've never had kids and I don't want them. It would be my worst nightmare. What is a really good and reliable form of birth control. I can't have the husband fixed, we are afraid there may be a link between prostate cancer and vasectomies and neither want to take the risk. His father died from prostate cancer. We HATE condoms and a diaphram is SO not convenient. I tried to get my doctor to approve "taking that thing out", but he prescribed something to help with endometriosis instead, citing that, since I'm 45, I might be going into menopause. Menopause? OMG! That would be nice though....

    • ANSWER:
      Only have sex while facing Northwest at 47.3 degrees. Jump vigorously on one toe before using the bathroom (so the sperm get confused and swim to the bladder instead of the womb then you pee them out). JK

      My youngest son is the poster boy for "birth control is not 100% effective". The Encare birth control suppositories are to thank for his existence. So don't use that. I'm afraid you're stuck with either the IUD or rubber. Have you considered having a hysterectomy? I had my tubes tied after my 2nd so I never had to worry about it. That could be an option for you and can be done as day surgery. Sorry you're going through the endo. I guess you could say my advice is the same as always-spay/neuter! Hope you feel better soon. ♥

  43. QUESTION:
    My husband said getting fat is grounds for a divorce. Is this true?
    My husband and I met in 2008 and we were very happy. We had everything in common that you possibly imagine; science, history, astronomy, our religious beliefs, we both had background working in the entertain industry, both currently work in hospitals now (different locations), both drive the same identical model car and exact same color, and even our birthdays are only a few days apart.About 5 months after we met I broke my foot/ankle. Because of my injury I wasn't able to exercise regularly and had to stay at home for 8 weeks with my foot/leg in an elevated position. We were very much in love and he was extremely supportive during my healing process. We had decided to get married and still continued with our wedding plans after a year of courting. Our wedding was at the end of 2009 (after being off of crutches for 3 month) and I had recovered from my injury but had put on some weight. The subject had never come up with him and he never once mentioned that it was an issue. About 6 weeks after our wedding I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant. He was 45 at the time of our marriage and I was 44. We both already have children from previous marriages, and we had two kids still at home in high school. We had no plans to have more children and were quite shocked about the pregnancy. But considering all the risks we decided to continue the pregnancy. Because I had already had children in the past this pregnancy began to show very quickly. A few months into the pregnancy we discovered that his mother was very ill with cancer and not expected to live. Within the same week of finding out about his mother we lost the baby. I had experienced a lot of hemorrhaging and had to be put on bed rest. So my husband was running back and forth between me and his mother at the hospital. About 6 weeks later his mom passed away. This of course was heartbreaking for us all and I was also feeling the loss of our child tremendously. I had already gained some weight from my prior injury and now had the added weight from the pregnancy. At this time my husband told me that he was having problems of not be attracted to me. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with additional grief. About 3 months after the loss of our child I had to have emergency abdominal surgery which then had me back on bed rest for the healing process. And again I could not exercise because I had to rebuild my abdominal muscles just so I could walk again. This of course caused me to gain weight again. It has now been about 6 months since my surgery and I am just starting to go back to work on a full time basis. My husband still tells me everyday how much he loves me, but he doesn't show interest in being intimate at all and hasn't for a long time. This past weekend I tried to talk to him about it and he told me that it's not his fault that he isn't attracted to an overweight woman. Then he went on to tell me that his sisters told him that being "fat" is grounds for a divorce. At that time I got up and left the room and then got in my car and drove away. Without going into too much detail I will tell you that right before we got married he told me that he has a virus that will never go away. (No, it's not AIDS). I already loved him and accepted his medical issue and supported him. After we were married I discovered he had fallen behind in some of his financial paperwork, and I helped him get caught back up, never once complaining. I have always tried to support him emotionally and I was completely shocked when he made the statement that being fat was grounds for a divorce. I welcome advice from others, but please don't post rude, ignorant or stupid comments that are just a waste of time. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Love is powerful. He needs to love you enough to understand WHY you gained the weight and be supportive in helping you lose some of it. If he were to divorce you for being overweight then he doesn't love you like he should.

Getting Pregnant At 44

Getting Pregnant In Your 40S
Getting pregnant in your 40s

If you've put off pregnancy because of work or relationship concerns or because you simply weren't ready, you may feel like the woman on the 1980s cartoon who laments, "Oh my God, I forgot to have children!" There's no denying your odds of getting pregnant are now far lower than just a few years ago. After 45, experts say, it's almost impossible to get pregnant using your own eggs.

At the same time, many 40-plus women do get pregnant, some using fertility treatments and some not. And recent studies have shown there may be benefits to waiting to have children, for both you and your child.

Pros
Probably the greatest advantage of waiting to have children is that you've waited to have children. You've had time to grow and to see the world; you're presumably more secure financially and more comfortable in your career. If you've been with your partner for a while you will have had the chance to get to know each other in a variety of circumstances, which will provide a solid foundation for raising a family.
There's some evidence that older mothers, (who are, in general, better educated than young mothers) make wiser parenting decisions. They're more likely to breastfeed and, according to one recent study, to eat more healthily.

Waiting to have children also has financial benefits. According to one study in the UK, "Women who give themselves more years of experience in the workplace before having children tend to come back to work quicker after their maternity leave. Because they're more connected to their employer, it's easier for them to come back part-time if they want to, rather than leave the labour market altogether."

Susan Heitler, a family and marriage therapist, believes that the best time to have children is in your late 20s to early 30s, but she also sees pluses for couples who wait: "Parents in their 40s are often more focused on their children than younger parents," she points out. "They've had time to travel and to have a broad range of experiences before having children. They have less financial pressure, and more of a 'been there, done that' attitude towards hard partying and 60-hour working weeks."

Nicole, a mother of five and sales director of a large hotel, says that, at 41, she has less energy than she used to, but on the other hand is a wiser and more patient parent. "In your 20s and your 30s, you tend to put too much pressure on yourself as a parent," she reflects. "You think it will be a disaster if things don't go just right. If you don't have time to buy a present before a birthday party, for example, you stress out about it. As an older parent, I find things don't bother me as much."

On a practical level, "when you're a single parent in your 20s and you're late for work, it can cost you your job, which means you may not be able to pay the rent," she adds. "Now I'm at a level where I have job security and financial security. I don't have to worry about things like that, so I'm a lot more relaxed."

Cons
The biggest downside to putting off pregnancy until your 40s is significant: the longer you wait, the harder it is to get pregnant. This is principally because, as early as 15 years before a woman goes through menopause, the number of her eggs begins to decline and the eggs that are produced are more likely to have chromosomal problems that raise the risk for miscarriage and birth defects.
There's a big difference in egg viability between the early 40s and the mid to late 40s. "There's a steep drop in fertility in the 40s," says Julia Johnson, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. "Your odds of getting pregnant at 41 are much better than they are at 43."

A recent study in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility confirms her point. Researchers found that 40-year-old women treated for infertility had a 25 per cent chance of achieving pregnancy using their own eggs. By age 43 that number dropped to 10 per cent, and by 44 it had plummeted still further to 1.6 per cent. Among women who did get pregnant, the miscarriage rate was 24 per cent for 40-year-olds, 38 per cent for 43-year-olds, and 54 per cent for 44-year-olds.

Fertility expert James Goldfarb says that, in his 30 years on the job, he has never seen a woman get pregnant with her own eggs after age 46. "It's like buying a lottery ticket," he says. "Yes, someone wins every once in a while, but you shouldn't bank on it." (Note: if you don't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't take this to mean that you can stop using contraception at 46. Instead you should wait until you are sure that you have stopped ovulating.)

Using a donor egg boosts the odds of getting pregnant considerably, and according to Dr Goldfarb, that's how most of the older celebrity mums are doing it, whether they admit it or not. "The fact that they don't talk about it openly does a real disservice to other women," he says. "We get at least one patient a month who comes in with the false hope that she can get pregnant using her own eggs."

Pregnancy complications are another concern. In your 40s you're more likely to develop problems like high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy, as well as placental problems and birth complications. Women over 40 have a higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight or premature baby. Stillbirth rates are also higher, and studies show that children born to older mothers are themselves at increased risk of type-1 diabetes and high blood pressure.

And don't forget about your partner; his age can affect his fertility too. Although men are physically capable of fathering children in their 60s and even their 70s, sperm quality deteriorates with age, and there's a higher rate of genetic defects than there is with the sperm of younger men. In recent years clinical trials have found links between the father's age and genetically related conditions such as Down's syndrome and schizophrenia.

All these downsides can be disheartening, but don't forget that some women do get pregnant well into their 40s (Cherie Blair had her fourth child, Leo, at 45) and many of them have complication-free pregnancies and healthy babies. Plus, while older mothers may be at higher risk for pregnancy complications, the overall risk is low.

One more caveat: while there are financial advantages to waiting to have children, there may be liabilities as well. "If you wait, you're likely to have to continue working to an older age, for one thing," says financial planner Marnie Azner. "You'll still have financial responsibilities at a time when many of your friends are beginning to retire. If you haven't been putting aside money for retirement up until now, it's going to get even harder to do so after you have children. Other things become more expensive, too, like life and health insurance. Finally, if you have trouble getting pregnant, the cost of fertility treatments can really add up."

Your odds of success
Roughly two thirds of women over 40 have fertility problems. Once you pass 40, time is pitiless. You have about a five-per-cent chance of getting pregnant in any single menstrual cycle, according to Sherman Silber, a leading fertility specialist and author of four bestselling fertility books, including How to Get Pregnant. At 40 your chance of conceiving within a year is about 40 to 50 per cent, compared to a woman in her mid-30s, who has a 75-per-cent chance. By age 43, a woman's chance of pregnancy plummets to one or two per cent.

Why the steep drop-off? Silber says it's all about the eggs. From the time you reach puberty, with your eggs numbering around 300,000, you'll lose about 13,000 eggs a year. Over the years this steady drop in egg supply will leave you with about 25,000 eggs by age 37. At 37 comes a precipitous drop in fertility. "By age 43, you're really at the end of your egg supply," Silber says, "and your chances of pregnancy are slim."

Miscarriage rates begin to skyrocket in your 40s as well. From age 40 to 44, the rate of miscarriage is 34 per cent, and it rises to 53 per cent for women 45 and older (compared to 10 per cent at age 20 and 12 per cent at age 30). After age 40, the risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure and diabetes is twice as high as it is for a woman in her 20s. The odds of genetic problems also jump as you get older: at 40, your chance of having a child with Down's syndrome is one in 110; at 45 it's one in 30. Since risks of genetic problems increase in this age group, doctors may recommend diagnostic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling for women this age.

First-time mothers over 40 also have a 43-per-cent chance of having a caesarean (compared with 14 per cent for first-time mothers in their 20s), although some experts believe this partly due to the fact that older mothers are perceived as "high risk" even if their pregnancy is straightforward. The incidence of low-birthweight and stillborn babies is higher as well.

One very positive fact on your side: there's no better time in history to try to get pregnant as an older mother, given the range of new fertility treatments now available. While in vitro fertilisation (IVF) success rates begin to fall after age 35, your chance of success using donor eggs remains high, with a live birth rate of around 28 per cent. For women in their 40s whose eggs are donated by a woman in her 20s or 30s, the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal problems is consistent with the age of the egg donor.

To get pregnant the normal and natural way in spite of being told otherwise, go to how to get pregnant. The one and only resource you would need to be able to conceive easily without any invasive surgeries.

Getting Pregnant At 46

5 Symptoms of Getting Pregnant (Or "You Might Be Pregnant If)
Whether a potential pregnancy is a surprise, or you've been trying to conceive for many months, you likely want to know whether you are pregnant. Perhaps it is too early to take a home pregnancy test, or perhaps you've gotten a negative result but you have a suspicion that you really are pregnant. There are many early physical signs in women that point toward a possible pregnancy. All women are different and so not all women have the same signs. Most women report to having some but not all of the following signs early in their pregnancy.

#1 - You Might Be Pregnant If... you are completely exhausted. Many women complain of extreme exhaustion and when they find out that they are pregnant, they understand where the tiredness was coming from. This is one of the earliest signs of pregnancy, occurring sometimes as soon as one week after conception. It is also one of the most common physical signs of early pregnancy. If you are pregnant and experiencing severe exhaustion, the simple, but often ignored advice is to get as much rest as possible, including naps during the day.

#2 - You Might Be Pregnant If... nausea and vomiting have reared their heads! Known as morning sickness, this common symptom of pregnancy is not just for the morning. Severe nausea can last all day long. Vomiting can be occasional or constant. Often the worst part of being pregnant, this is a sure sign of pregnancy. Some women experience it within a week of conception. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot you can do to alleviate this symptom. Salty crackers and ginger are sometimes helpful, but often, nothing helps the nausea at all.

#3 - You Might Be Pregnant If... your breasts are tender and sore. Discomfort, swelling, and tenderness of breasts is a very common early sign of pregnancy. More annoying than uncomfortable, this symptom of conception could be a sign that you should go get a pregnancy test.

#4 - You Might Be Pregnant If... you have missed your period. Missing your period is another extremely accurate sign that you might be pregnant. However, a missed period doesn't always indicate pregnancy. Other factors, such as stress, can cause the delay of a period. Even worrying about getting pregnant can cause your period to be late. If you have irregular periods anyway, a missed period is not going to be an accurate sign that you are pregnant.

#5 - You Might Be Pregnant If... you notice darkening of your areola. The areola is the area of the breast that circles the nipple. Many women experience a darkening of this area soon after conception occurs. This is a less common symptom, but still an accurate sign of pregnancy nonetheless.

When you want to get pregnant, you are likely to be hypersensitive to any changes that you sense in your body. As soon as you sense any of these symptoms, you are likely to go take a pregnancy test. It is possible to get a negative result even if you are pregnant. This usually happens when women take the pregnancy test too soon after conception. And, since all women are different, you could sense no physical changes in your body and still be pregnant. Some women don't experience any of the above signs until they are several weeks into their pregnancy. Some women experience no signs other than an expanding abdomen. The best way to determine if you are pregnant is to go to your doctor and get a blood test. Then you'll know for certain and you won't have to be guessing at every little lurch you feel in your body.

Getting Pregnant At 49

Difficulty Getting Pregnant?
When a woman has trouble getting pregnant it is probably a combination of many things such as age, low sperm count, hormone imbalances, stress, lifestyle and even sexual positions. Some general ways to narrow down the issue is both man and woman may have to alter their lifestyle a bit which includes diet, nutritional supplements. Its literally amazing how some little changes can improve your chances in conceiving a baby.

It will require a commitment and being responsible and being diligent in your quest to become responsible parents. No matter what you do, you must keep in mind that it will take at least three months to get your body in the best possible shape to accept the rigors of pregnancy. The time to give for it to be beneficial depends on what youve done so far. On average it is two months to 6 months for the body to recognize beneficial changes and become healthier.

Some common things you can do without a doctors advice is to eat right with a nutritious diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables and natural grains. Its also important to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, take supplements that have iron and folic acid. Do not consume any alcohol because it can decrease fertility chances in men and women.

If there is still trouble due to difficulties such as endometriosis, low sperm count, and similar areas, an experienced endocrinologist can help with IUI, IVF or custom supplements as they specialize in the field of fertility. While these treatments can bring the congratulatory pregnancy news and baby showers, it can also raise the chances of getting pregnant with twins, triplets, quadruplets or more. Although when conception happens due to in vitro fertilization, the possibility of conceiving twins increases by 20 to 30 percent. If the woman who elects to undergo IVF, in vitro fertilization, and she is at a young age, her risks of having a multiple pregnancy are much higher

Getting Pregnant At 50

Odds Of Getting Pregnant And Age
The odds of getting pregnant decline with age. The odds of getting pregnant are the greatest for a woman in her early twenties and then slowly decline with the passing years. Here are some numbers related to the chances of getting pregnant and age:

1. For ages early to mid-thirties - a woman in general will be about 15-20% less fertile.

2. For ages mid to late thirties - fertility will generally decline by up to 50%.

3. For women ages early to mid-forties - fertility declines by over 90%.

Why do the odds of getting pregnant generally decline as the woman gets older? Studies have indicated the reasons for fertility decline are related to the quality of the woman's eggs as well as the quantity. A woman in her lifetime will typically produce about 400 fully developed eggs (usually one per month) that are capable of becoming implanted in the uterus and causing pregnancy. As these eggs get used up over thirty years or so and estrogen production slows so that the uterine and vaginal linings are no longer properly stimulated, pregnancy becomes less and less likely.

And what about the male's role, age and the odds of getting pregnant? Studies have found that the probability of causing pregnancy for a man in his late thirties declines by about 40% from the probability during his twenties to mid-thirties.

How does a woman increase the odds of getting pregnant? Here are some tips:

• Know your fertile time - ovulation generally happens about 14 days before your next period begins. For women with cycles of 28 days, that could make day #14 your most fertile for getting pregnant (day #1 being the first day that your last period began).

• Monitor your basal body temperature - the slight elevations in your body temperature upon awakening each day will signal your most fertile time.

• Monitor your cervical mucus - ovulation will cause a change in the appearance and consistency of cervical mucus. Check yourself each day and you'll be able to see the 'egg-white-like' vaginal discharge that indicates ovulation and your most fertile time.

• Adopt a healthy lifestyle - the odds of getting pregnant increase the more healthy you are. Healthy living includes a sensible diet, nutritional supplements, adequate quality sleep, managing stress, some exercise and weight management.

Planning to start a family, getting pregnant and pregnancy can be exciting, frustrating, fulfilling and without any certain outcome. Improving your health will add to the likelihood that you can become pregnant and have a healthy baby.

Getting Pregnant At 43

Odds of Getting Pregnant At 42 or 43 without IVF and With IVF - How to Increase You Chances of Getting Pregnant at 40 or Above
I have a friend who recently got married to a man about 5 years younger. She has a nine year old son from a previous relationship and now thinks she wants to have one with her husband. What are the odds of a natural conception and successful pregnancy at her age? She is almost 43.

So there is no doubt that getting pregnant at an older age is possible, however, it is a fact to say that your chances are way reduced than they were when you were in your twenties or early thirties.It is also a fact that at the age of 35, a woman's chances of naturally getting pregnant starts decreasing.

This chances decrease at an even greater percentage when they get to 40, however this does not in any way mean you can't naturally conceive.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting a retarded or disabled child if a woman gets pregnant at 43?

    • ANSWER:
      Just by the question asked, I'd say pretty good, if the one "getting" the child is you..

  2. QUESTION:
    Anyone else 43 and pregnant with first child?
    I am 5-6 weeks pregnant, 43, and thrilled! Had two miscarriages last year, and then did Clomid (the doctors were worried my miscarriages were due to older eggs, and the clomid would help get more ready). I'm just thrilled, and wondering how other women at my age are feeling if they're pregnant too. Let's support each other!

    • ANSWER:
      Congrats and good luck with the baby. =)
      But no, I'm not pregnant. I'm only 14.

  3. QUESTION:
    is there a possibility to get pregnant at 43 when you h as unprotected sex?
    I had my ;ast period Oct. 23 and had unprotected sex on Nov.5.. Im 43 years old, i know i should have known better but i am really stressed out now and i am having pregnancy symptoms.

    • ANSWER:
      You're still having periods which means you're still ovulating which means you COULD be pregnant at 43!

  4. QUESTION:
    Pregnant at 43, too late? Risks?
    Hello!

    I'm 19 and I'm the oldest at home, I have a younger sister who's 13, we're 6 years apart....My mom is 43 and she's pregnant, she was pregnant again last year and she lost it, after she had my sister, a few years after that she was pregnant but lost it again. I am worried that perhaps it may be she isn't capable of having any more kids, I don't mean because of her age, I mean with her body, ovaries, etc. I feel a little weird because people are constantly saying "How old is, wow she's pregnant at that age?" Makes me feel uncomfortable, but a baby's always a blessing.

    I felt really bad when she lost the last baby, I had gotten really happy and really expected it until she began to get pain and bleeding, so this time around I am really keeping myself from being happy about it because it's happened more than once before that she loses it, I created some type of "wall" and don't even say anything to her when she's talking about it.

    Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a chance that if there is something wrong with her body if she can do anything at such early stages of the pregnancy to prevent or to strengthen her system and perhaps have a little more chance of being able to have this one?

    And do you think 43 is a bit late to be having kids? Please be respectful, I do think at times that it's a bit uncalled for, but I don't see her as old.
    Thanks, oh please don't get me wrong, I ask about the age thing because due to the people around us she's the one getting most affected and has been thinking if she really is too "old" as they've said to be having kids. Maybe it's the whole changes she's going through that's making her so sensitive to such comments, yes I know it's up to her to have kids, I never said she shouldn't.

    • ANSWER:
      She should start taking prenatal vitamins asap if she's not already taking them, preferably a prescription prenatal with lots of DHA but any will work. Aside from that, there isn't much she can do. Something like 25% of all confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage. The older you are, the less fertile you are. You are born with every single egg you'll ever have and as you age, so do they. This means that at 43 there is a greater chance that the egg won't be viable for as long of a time period, and also a greater chance that there are genetic abnormalities. Most miscarriages are actually caused because the embryo doesn't develop properly and the pregnancy self-terminates. If your eggs are 43 years old instead of 23 years old, there's a greater chance this will be the case.

      Having said that, I don't think she's necessarily too old to have children. Just because there's a higher chance of miscarriage and birth defects doesn't mean it WILL happen. For example, my mother was 39 when I was born and I was perfectly healthy and don't have any genetic problems that I'm aware of. My mother-in-law had her last at 38 and he was actually the healthiest baby she ever had. As for the people who think she "shouldn't" have kids, tell them that it isn't their body and as long as the child will be well taken care of, it's none of their business.

  5. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant at 43?
    Can anyone give me any advise?? I will try anything but invitro.

    • ANSWER:
      Very very possible... consult your doctor to help you through the process because of the older age there are risk factors. Better to be adviced now than later.... also consider adoption????

  6. QUESTION:
    how hard is to get pregnant at 43?

    • ANSWER:
      It is different for each woman. You need to be checked for a complete health evaluation as well as your partner. This will help rule out possible complications and problems not only with you but with the baby. It usually does take awhile for women in their forties but you never know. I am sure if you really want to get pregnant and work hard at it you will be getting your blessing soon. Start immediately doing your BBT to get to know your cycles and hopefully it won't take long.

  7. QUESTION:
    help! do you think it's a bad Idea to get pregnant at 43?
    I have 3 daughter of my previous marriage , and been married for 12 years with my actual husband we've never had kids of our own, now my daughters have married too, and have their own lives and in all I have 5 grandchildren , I look young to the point that no one believes me I have grand kids, and it's not just to make me feel good, because mostly everbody tells me so. my daughters support me and don't have an issue about my age but at the fact that I already have grandkids, what would you recommend me.

    • ANSWER:
      No hun! That's awesome. Just get a health check up & get to lovin'! :) It's the year 2009 and it's a new era! Women are having healthy babies well into their 40s! Follow your instincts and hearts desire. I wish you TONS of baby dust and happiness with your future baby!

      EDIT: If your husband is willing...DO IT. Women are meant to love their babies and naturally want more. Why deny our instinct? Just be healthy and you will be as energetic as any teen out there. I've seen women who are 42, that are healthier and more put together than a 25 year old. It's all about your food and lifestyle choices :) . Go for it :)

      You could get pregnant, but it is unlikely. Most of the women you hear about getting pregnant after 40 rely on invitro - often with other women's eggs.

  11. QUESTION:
    Does ovulation stop at 43?
    Is a woman still ovulating at 42 years old? I know the actual menstrual flow can go on until 48-50 years of age, but when do the eggs stop being released?
    I ask this because I was just watching a health show on tv and the 'healthcare worker' claimed that women can't get pregnant after 43 or 44. I find that odd considering it wasn't that long ago since I had my last child, I'm 42, and my periods are still bang on every 28 days. If it is true, that just goes to show how little I know about menopause. So many conflicting 'facts' which nobody wants to talk about.

      Don’t try to abortion; it is a not good think because it is your first child. If you like to marry her, you don’t worry about other says. But you don’t have any interested in marriage please leave her because your enjoyed life with her but your are hesitate to take responsible for your child. Please talks with her, lot of good women are not trying to abortion because they love their child very much in any age.

      43 age not old for pregnancy. Now women are pregnant in over 45.

      And let me reassure you, you will take one look at your little baby and fall in love. It won't matter at all that you 43 anyway. And last I heard, 40 is the new 20.
      I too have had a stillborn. I have other children, but have run into some very bad luck lately with carrying babies. I also had a 14 week loss. So I gave it one last fighting go and I'm expecting in September. I'll be 38. Not so different from 43. Honestly, I'm a little scared too. I haven't had a child in diapers for 4 years.

    Ladies, please help me! I'm trying to figure out why I get a period so often and never get pregnant!?
    Ladies, I'm 25 years old with 2 kids and haven't gotten pregnant in the past 5 years and 2 months! I'm not really trying to but I still wanna know what's wrong with me! My fiancee' is 28. We both don't drink or smoke, take vitamins every day, eat relatively healthy and are at a healthy weight for our age and height! And I get a period every 22-25 days on average which lasts for 5-6 days at a time! I don't use any birth control, just the pull out method and I always clean myself out with toilette tissue after we're done having sex just to be safe! I ask everyone what the hell is wrong with me and I get different answers: you are always stressed out, your period comes too often, you need to take ovulation tests, your hormones are out of whack, you might have blocked fallopian tubes, you might have endometriosis, uterine cysts or polyps yet my pap smears are always normal! What do y'all think it is? My mother, her mother and her mother's sister all got pregnant around 43 or 44 years old and had healthy babies so what's wrong with me?

      You're using the withdrawal method, that's why. I bet if he ejaculated inside of you you'd be pregnant in a few months.

  21. QUESTION:
    i think my vet is wrong about my dog being pregnant....?
    Had an x-ray, and I think the vet is wrong. There was another dog that had an x-ray at the same time. My dog is a Golden Retriever, and the x-ray was done when she was 43 days pregnant. She has gained 15 pounds, she has been extremely calm, which she never is, her nipples are hanging down along with her stomach, and she is extremely slow. I wonder if the x-rays were switched????? The vet said it is a false pregnancy. I don't think that could be possible. I have thought about getting a second opinion. What do you think??

    • ANSWER:
      From having worked in several vet hospitals, I can tell you that most vets don't have enough X-ray cassettes to do multiple dogs at once (unless your vet has switched to digital X-rays, in which case the pictures would be labelled at the time they were taken). They'd have to take the radiographs of your dog, develop and look at them, then put new blank film in the cassette to do the x-rays of the other dog. This means it's very unlikely the films got switched.

      Furthermore, even if another dog was getting x-rayed at the same time, it's extremely unlikely that it was also there for abdominal x-rays, the same size as a golden AND 40-some days pregnant. So this all means your vet is probably correct in that it's a false pregnancy. False pregnancies can look just like you describe. Also, seeing puppies on x-rays is one of the perks of working at a vet hospital - the staff generally makes a big deal out of a pregnancy-check x-ray - so that makes it even less likely that pregnancy x-rays would get switched.

      You could always call your vet and ask the following questions about the other dog that was in for x-rays - the one you think you dog's films got mixed up with: 1) How much did it weigh? 2) Was it an intact female? 3) Was she pregnant? If it was a significantly different weight, then you know the films weren't mixed up. If it was not pregnant, then even if the films were mixed up, it still means your vet is right and your dog isn't pregnant.

      But mistakes do occasionally happen at the vet, so if you want to get a second opinion, go right ahead. If you are going to keep wondering until you see proof she's not pregnant, then I think it's worth the expense just for your peace of mind. You could get another x-ray, or maybe you could get an ultrasound done.

  22. QUESTION:
    Am 43, 7 times conceived, only two surviving. Still want to have another baby. Had son in 90 followed by abort
    ion at 6th mnth. Had another baby in '97 follwoed by 3 spontaneous abortions due to chromosomal abnormalities as per doctor's version. Then another pregnancy which ended up in pre term delivery at 7th mnth in Jan '07 and died after 2 hrs. Bleeding continued for 2 mnths and my doctor recently did D&C and gave me Noretindrone acetate under the trade name NORLUN to regularise my bleeding 2 tabs thrice daily for 5 days and thereafter 2 tabs twice daily for 20 days. I am having 3 more days to complete the medication. He also prescribed Vit E and Feresis a combination of Carbonyl Iron, Ascorbic acid, Betacarotene etc. The bleeding stopped. Am I still capable of getting pregnant at age 43. I still am desperate to have another baby. What are the risks and adivce on how to increase fertility and recommended dosage of essential vitamins and minerals for me and my husband (aged 47) to enhance fertility.

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly you are to old. What you should be thinking about is if you do get pregnant and somethings wrong with your baby. How will he or she feel about you trying to get pregnant and knowing all the problems you had with your other pregnancies. I know I wouldn't want to be retarded or deformed in today's cruel world. I know you want another baby, but think about the child's future.

  23. QUESTION:
    Is there any chance for a woman to get pregnant at to have a normal baby at 43?
    well...its about my mom

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, absolutely. Most women are still fertile into their late 40's, and while genetic problems (like Down Syndrome) are more common in babies born to mothers over 40, the vast majority of these babies ARE genetically healthy.

  24. QUESTION:
    Can you still get pregnant with 1 ovary and at 43?
    helllo im on my 2nd marriage and havent been using contreception for 3 years, i cannot get pregnant, i had a 8 kilo cyst removed in jan and right ovary, so i thought that was why i couldnt conceive. i still cannot. ive been to doctors and said i am ovualating, the waiitng list for ivf is so long i l be too old. is there anything i can do? i have 3 girls from first marriage but cannot get pregnant again. doc said i have unexplained secondary infertility. doc wont prescribe clomid said only a fertility clinic can but the waiitng list is years. i cant afford private. do i have amy hope at all?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm not a doctor but saw a TV show the other day where a 41-year old woman who had an extensive history of miscarriages (6 out of 11 pregnancies) and only one ovary got pregnant. I don't believe she had IVF. I've seen women who had 'no chance' end up pregnant. Stop fretting and maybe nature will notice you relaxing and do 'it's thing.' (BTW...I got pregnant at 40 and have had female issues my whole life. I wasn't trying either so I was very relaxed and not tense.)

      Good luck!

    We were both married to OTHER people at the time we had this done and did not want more children. However, since getting married 9 years ago we have discussed it and we want a child together. Is there any likelihood we could have these reversed and be successful in getting pregnant? he is 43 and I am 38!

    • ANSWER:
      Not sure what it costs to have them reversed however my situation is like yours... husband and I were married to other ppl and made the choice to not have anymore as well, until we found eachother and wanted to start a family of our own. My husband had a vasectomy 14 yrs ago and I got my uterus cauterized (uterine ablation) 9 years ago. we have since been pregnant three times without success, First pregnancy with identical twins in 2007 ,I lost the first at about 8 weeks and the second at 13. 2008 another pregnancy ended at 6 weeks, and this year just last month I went to the ER after cramping and spotting for a week scared to learn the truth I waited but it was the same I was told it was considered a missed miscarriage...I lost the baby at about 9 weeks but was about 12 weeks along at the time I found out. That was the was the worst to find out that I was carrying a deceased fetus for weeks and had no idea. My husband is now 41 and I am 33 we are no longer trying as it gets harder to keep going through the losses year after year.
      I was told that my lining can grow back,(thicken) but my body isn't producing enough Progesterone to sustain the pregnancy further than about 3 months. I can't take anything for it cause it's considered Fertility treatment and my stupid insurance doesn't cover anything like that. I hope that things turn out better for you and yopr family. Loss is a hard thing to deal with and even harder on a marriage.
      I guess I should be thankful that we already had the chance to have kids and enjoy what god has already given me, we have five between the two of us now the oldest 19 and the youngest 8 we are a family.

  26. QUESTION:
    what should i do about a miscarriage and how do I know who is at fault?
    I was 43 weeks pregnant when I went to the emergency room because I couldnt stay awake my lips and tip of my nose had turned blue and I had huge dark circles under my eyes. Also my skin was very pale I couldnt keep my food down was having severe headaches lost 15lbs in 3 days and had a temp of 95.3 F. When i went to the doctor they rushed me to the hospital and when the ultrasound was done my baby had no heart beat. They did a c-section but now I am confused. What could have possibly went wrong or happened. I had to get a second opinion because my doctor would not induce me when me and my baby was fine and the second doctor told me to go to the hospital. They said my blood test showed that i had acetone poisoning. on one hand people are saying it was the poison which i still dont know how i was expose to and the other hand people are saying it is because the doctor kept me pregnant to long. What could it be? I have still not gotten a positive answer on where my symptoms came from or what was wrong? Any advice or has this happened to anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even begin to imagine what you have been through or how you must be feeling.

      If you had acetone poisoning you should be aware where it came from. It isn't something which just happens. Acetone is a common chemical but you would know if you ingested it and direct skin contact is rarely a big deal unless you were taking a bath in it.

      I would not be at all happy with their answers. Usually I'm on the side of the medical staff but in this case something doesn't add up and it has ended terribly. Get a solicitor and let them do the digging. At least you will have closure at the end of it hopefully.

      Take care and I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

  28. QUESTION:
    How can I keep motivated about losing weight...What do you do?
    I am a 22 year old, mommy of a 8 month baby boy, and only gained weight in my tummy, the side of my tummy, and thighs got wide.

    I was doing good a few months ago, and wanted to lose weight, and stayed focused, but lately I have just given up.

    Not that I don't want to give up, I just feel really lazy lately, and don't have any motivation to exercise or walk when I get off work. I feel like I don't care anymore what I look like as long as my husbands happy that makes me happy. But I also no that If I don't watch my weight I'll gain so much that I'll really feel depressed. Also summer's coming up and i'd at least like to get fit for a bathing suite.

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
    How do you stay motivated?

    Thanks and God Bless

    P.S: I weighed 130 before I got pregnant, gained 43 lbs, then lost about 30 lbs after birth, so I think I weigh around 140. Thanks

  29. QUESTION:
    Former boss is pregnant..what to do?
    One of my former bosses had become unexpectedly pregnant..at age 43. she announced it on facebook and naturally many people were writing their congratulations on her wall. a couple days later all the congratulations were gone, deleted. i wondered why. later on, she posted a status saying she had a miscarriage. i was so shocked, and honestly felt like crying. i feel so bad. what can i do to express my condolences? i feel like it might seem weird as i no longer work with her but we still stay somewhat in touch and we got along well for the time we worked together. i feel like i should send her something..a card, i don't know, something? i don't know how to address this very sensitive and emotional situation. i don't want to make her even sadder than she already is by sending a card or something but i want her to know i care. can anyone help me out?

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn't call for a card or flowers or anything like that. I miscarried in Feb. All you need to do is say sorry for your loss.

  30. QUESTION:
    43 days late not pregnant?
    My last period was dec 21st. I've always had a regular cycle consisting of about 30-32 days before i got pregnant. Then became 35-36 days after I got pregnant. I had NEVER missed a period while breastfeeding or while my husband got sent to deployment. I deal with my stress instead of letting it get to me my husband helps me through it. (THANKFULLY) I at first did consider this to be stress but after crunching numbers (metaphorically) I"m almost positive stress doesn't do this much. I don't have pcos and i have an appointment to see my doctor April 15th. I chose to wait one more month so my doctor won't send me away and tell me to come back in a month. Here are my symptoms

    1.) Last period dec 21st
    2.) Extremely Moody
    3.) Bleeding with intercourse (so far just recently started happening) but stops within a few hours
    4.) During my due date of second period my breasts started actually leaking milk. (I dried up and stopped breast feeding over five months ago and never leaked. My son wasn't even near me.)
    5.) Cramps (they can vary on intensity most of them are small not really that bad others just feel like the average period cramp without the blood)
    6.) Multiple negative pregnancy test (most recently still negative test taken last sunday

    I am only 19. No weight loss or gain. I'm not on birthcontrol but we do use condoms religiously. Only once did we have a mishap and it was january 19th. I don't take any medication and never have I got this long without a period (except when pregnant obviously). I have avoided the thought of being pregnant because every test I take is negative and I don't think I'm ready for number two, but after my husband said that he wouldn't mind having a second baby so soon and he would be excited I feel so much better. And I went from not feeling pregnant what so ever to starting to get that feeling that maybe I am.

    Any ideas to tie me over till my doctors appointment???

    how can my mom avoid complications during pregnancy at 43?
    mom is getting remarried in april and she and her fiance are saying that if she gets pregnant, then she gets pregnant. how can they avoid complications that could come from her age? she is already on prenatal vitamins. her fiance is 47 if that matters.

    • ANSWER:
      She could go to her doctor and they could tell her all about the risks and complications that she could experience....just try and help her stay with a healthy diet and exercise and that will help a lot. You could probably even call your doctor and ask them. They may be able to give you some websites or something. Good Luck.

  34. QUESTION:
    My 43 year old mum might be pregnant...?
    She's 2 weeks late. She's ashamed to go to the chemist and get a test, and she's really, really stressed about it. (She's always stressed though) My dad doesn't beleive she's pregnant- he thinks it's impossible and shes starting her menopause. Im terrified. Right now our family isn't very stable- we've just moved to another country and things aint easy. She's a teacher in 2 schools- no free time at all, and we really need money. We just can't afford a baby! Ive already got a 11 yr old sister who hates me. Now Im sad, and so scared. She cries all the time, and has already said that there is NO WA she's getting an abortion...
    What is the probability that this IS a baby, and what are the chances that this is a menopause, or simply a really late period? Should I be worried? I feel sick with fear...

    • ANSWER:
      Menopause this early is INCREDIBLY rare. I hate to say it, but she may be pregnant. She should really buy a test. Please stop stressing, I'm sure everything will work out. Good luck

  35. QUESTION:
    Can a kitten get pregnant at 7 months?
    I'm a 43 year old black man. My wife has a 7 month old cat that she rescued from her sister's house this morning. Her sister barely feeds the three cats she has, so my wife felt bad. The cat is emaciated all over but she has a big belly. Could it be pregnancy or a tumor.

    • ANSWER:
      Good on your wife for rescuing that kitten. Cats can get pregnant at 5-6 months. If it's that skinny with a swollen belly, it may have tape worms instead. Please take it into a vet. A lot of them will work on a sliding scale if it's going to be outside your budget, especially if it was a rescue. It's unlikely that it's a tumor.

  39. QUESTION:
    I'm pregnant and thinking about breaking up with my alcoholic bf, but how?
    I'm 22 yrs old and 17 wks pregnant. My bf is 43. Yes, I know our age difference doomed us from the start. Anyways, I do love him but I dont think I want to be with him anymore. He is an alcoholic, he hasn't told his daughter, she's 15, that i'm pregnant, he has a hard time keeping a job. Whenever I am with him I just get more stress. I honestly think me and the baby would be better off without him. Now he is saying he doesn't believe I am pregnant! I invited him to all my doctors appointment but he didnt come to any. I'm a big girl so I havent started showing yet, plus I heard you show later with your first pregnancy. Anyways, I dont know what to do.... the more I think of him the more of a loser I think he is. But can I be a single mom? I barely make enough money at my job to support myself. Any advice is appreciated.....

    • ANSWER:
      From you description of him, I really don't think that he is a responsible guy capable of helping you raise a child. Financially, I guess it helps, but I think it needs to be put in perspective. Single motherhood is difficult, but I think the government may be able to help you in regard to financial issues. Stuff like childcare subsidies which is important in single parenthood. In addition, I think there are community held workshops dealing with the issues of single parenthood and how to cope. They are normally found in local newspapers.

      I think proper advice and counselling is the best step in your situation. I think you are a courageous girl and I wish you the best

    I am 43 and would like to get pregnant and have another child.?
    My husband and I would like to get pregnant and have another child. We are both 43 and I would be 44 when the baby, God willing, would be born. I'm in good health and have had 2 previous successful pregnancies. I would just ask for some information regarding such a decision. Thank you, I really want to do this, my maternal Grandmother had 3 more children (13 live births total, no still) between the ages of 39 with the last one at 44. I'm not trying to keep up with her mind you, just giving you some family hx.
    Thank you all so much.
    Lynn,
    p.s.
    Please try and be kind. :)

  42. QUESTION:
    how to get pregnant with your own egg at 49 yrs old?
    have had 3 pregnancies and miscarriages at 43 years old. Not tried since because a physician said my eggs were probably just too old. Now I read that being on certain medications could have caused my miscarriages. I am on and was on mobic (cox 2 inhibitor) for arthritis twice daily at that time, plus thyroid meds, antidepressants, ect. I was told they were safe meds so I did not go off of them. Now I've read that antiarthritic meds increase the odds of miscarriages by 80--90%. Also high caffeine intake can do so. I am wondering if I went off of these meds (specifically the mobic and caffeine, if I might maintain a pregancy this time.

    • ANSWER:
      All I can say is rermember Sarah, Hannah, Ann (Mary's mother), and Elizabeth of the Old and New Testament. Also, start taking your prenatal and folic acids now to decrease miscarriages and or spina bifoda. God answer your prayers to conceive and pray that you have a safe and normal delivery to you and the child.

  44. QUESTION:
    43 days since my last period. Pregnant?
    for the past few weeks i've been feeling sick in the mornings and sometimes late at night. plus, i had period-like cramps 2 weeks ago and my period hasn't gotten here yet. my last period was on november 19th and it is now december 31st. i don't have any signs of bleeding or cramps. just feel sick in the morning. i only had sex with my bf twice since november. 11/9 and 12/20 (yes, i always keep track lol). anyway, i took one of those cheap dollars store hpt today and it came out negative. it was the stick kind that you dip in your urine. i kind of went over the max line by accident, so unsure if it altered my results. if i still don't get my period next week. i plan on taking another one. i have to be cautious because i had an ectopic pregnant in march and being that i have history of ectopic ... it could happen again. if i'm this late wouldn't my test show up positive if i really was?
    i did have my period while i was pregnant last time. or what seemed like a period that lasted the usual 5/6 days. i couldn't tell the difference. that's why i mentioned the first date before my period.

    • ANSWER:
      well i would consider going to a doctor and taking another pregnancy test just to make sure because there can be something else wrong your period could have been delayed , maybe if that has ever happened before and if it hasn't then you should really go check with a doctor and have him examine you or another HPT., but this time don't buy a cheap one , just in case

  45. QUESTION:
    I am 43 and just found out I am pregnant with my 6th baby which was totally not in the plan. so scared.?
    I have a full plate with a husband rotating in and out of Middle East (5 weeks there/2 home); 2 18 year old boys getting ready for college; a 10 year old horse enthusiast; a 8 year old whom I homeschool because of her ADHD and a 21 month old who is no passive toddler. I adore my husband and kids but I am doubting my ability to handle all of this and I truly am a good mom but scared I might be maxed out with this baby. I just need some support or assurance. No one, with the exception of my husband and kids, will be happy or supportive in my family....just not their style. Also, I worry because I am on adderal for my own issues with ADD and I love to drink (my husband is British and we don't abuse alcohol but dont shun it, either) and just worried beyond belief at this point. Any words would soothe me (well, positive words that is). Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I'm sure if you want this baby then you'll find a way of coping. It's surprising how we manage to do things we never thought possible. I have 6 kids and homeschooled 2 of them, my daughter had a baby and couldn't cope so she moved out without taking him. At first i didn't know whether i was coming or going ( my husband is disabled) and couldn't see how i could possibly fit full time care of a baby into our lives, but we managed. Our grandson is 4 yr old now and we wouldn't change things for the world. It's not been easy but it's been worthwhile. There's also the issue of how you'd feel if you decided not to go through with the pregnancy. Is it something you could live with?
      I hope things work out for you. Quite often when a baby is born into an already hectic household they seem to automatically fit in around the routine ( or chaos ) that already exists. Good luck with whatever you decide xxx

Getting Pregnant At 40 - Natural Ways To Increase Your Chances Of Conception
Many folks are skeptical at the possibility of getting pregnant at 40 but there are natural ways to increase your chances of conception. Although there are artificial means to improve your odds of conceiving a baby such as those fertility treatments and products, natural ways are pretty much recommended-particularly at first. There are certain benefits of getting pregnant at 40 through natural means. You know that it's safe and that they are not as pricey as some of the artificial ways.

Start improving your chances of conception through increasing your intake of plant protein. In line with this, if you are consuming animal protein, you have to take it down a notch. Focus more on plant protein sources like beans, lentils, peas and peanuts. Another natural way for you to try is none other than the water treatment. You have to make sure that you drink a lot of water, at least eight glasses of water every day. Avoid getting yourself dehydrated because that won't help you achieve your goals of becoming pregnant. The water treatment is beneficial for almost every health condition even in simple stuff like colds, flu, etc. In terms of conception, keeping your reproductive organs well-hydrated keeps them functioning at an optimum level.

Aside from that, you should make sure that you have a clean colon. There are folks who haven't used the toilet for days. They think that's okay but it can mean that something's wrong with your excretory system or other underlying diseases. It also means that toxins are accumulating inside your body specifically in your colon. Having a build up in your colon may be a hindrance to your mission and desire of conceiving a child. Remember that getting pregnant at 40 is already a challenge. Don't make it more difficult by not looking after your colon.

Another natural way to increase the odds of better conception is going for the missionary position during sex. There are various sexual positions that you and your partner can try. However, if you want to get pregnant despite the fact that you are over 40, you need to make use of sexual positions that can close in the gap between the egg and sperm. The missionary position is the most appropriate position for that purpose. You also have to make sure that the sperm won't leak out. Stay lying on the bed after sex because if you stand up right away, chances of the sperm flowing upstream may be affected by gravity.

Do you want to learn tips in getting pregnant at 40? Try to experience sexual orgasms while you and your partner are doing it, in short: enjoy the moment. Don't stress yourself out. Just relax and enjoy. If you are worrying too much whether you can conceive a child or not during sexual intercourse, you are just hindering your chances as it is proven that stress is a fertility detractor.

There is a holistic system which has been clinically researched over 14 years and which guarantees to help couples become pregnant quickly, regardless of age. Containing secret natural infertility cures, powerful techniques and the step-by-step holistic infertility cure system which is all you will ever need to permanently eliminate infertility within weeks, most women will become pregnant within 3-4 months.

This "no stone unturned" system does not use drugs or surgery and has no side effects. However, it is powerful and potent and comes with a 100% guarantee. To see further details and tips for getting pregnant at 40, please visit Become Pregnant Fast.

3 Factors for Chances of Getting Pregnant - Tubal Ligation Reversal
Many times women have their tubes tied after having what they believe to be their last child. Due to life circumstances changing, such as a second marriage, many women later realize that they are not finished having children after all. When this happens, the question of having a tubal ligation reversal often comes up. The question that follows is often what are the chances of getting pregnant after this reversal procedure?

After a recent 8 year study on this particular topic, researchers have found that the success rate of the tubal ligation reversal procedure depends on three major factors. The first factor is the age of the patient at the time of the procedure being reversed. Just as with the general population, the rate of miscarriage increases with age.

The second factor that played a large role in the chances of getting pregnant was the method used in the original tubal ligation. For women who have had their tubes tied using tubal clips, there was a 75% chance that they would have a successful chance of getting pregnant after reversal surgery. For those who had a tubal ligation using tubal rings, there was a 72% chance of successfully getting pregnant.
As for other types of sterilization, the rates went down for women who had a resection or coagulation during their original surgery. Researchers believe this is because using the clip or the ring method only causes minimal damage to the fallopian tubes which is easier to repair and which leaves longer tubes which leads to our third factor.

The third factor that determines whether a woman will have better chances of getting pregnant after a tubal ligation reversal procedure is how long her tubes are. Depending on how the doctor handled the original tubal surgery, a woman may have tubes ranging in length from 7 1/2 cm to less than two and half centimeters.

The longer the tubes, the better the chances are for a woman to get pregnant. For example, women who had an average fallopian tube length 7 1/2 cm or longer have a 77% chance of getting pregnant. For women who had shorter tubal lengths of less than 2.5 cm, the rate of pregnancy decreased but was still a respectable 38%.

In fact, the doctors collecting the data for this study became aware that getting pregnant with one tube and even as short as 1 cm can still happen. This should lead to the conclusion that any woman wanting a tubal ligation reversal will find her chances of getting pregnant are good although they may vary greatly depending upon the above factors.

Getting Pregnant After Having A Baby

Trying To Conceive After Getting Your Tubes Tied - Things To Know
Many women opt to have their tubes tied after having what they believe to be their last child. While we all make decisions that we sometimes regret, women who have had a tubal ligation can have this regret based upon changing life circumstances. Now they have a big decision on their hands for trying to conceive.

This is because often their doctor will inform them that the only way to possibly get pregnant after having your tubes tied is by getting in vitro fertilization. In fact, this is not true. There is another procedure that is done by doctors and it is called a tubal reversal surgery. To my knowledge, there is only one facility that specializes in tubal surgery and nothing else. This could go some ways to explaining why IVF is pushed over the surgery. That and the higher cost.

Many doctors do not do this procedure because they have not been trained on it. However, for those doctors who do tubal reversals, the success rate can be up to 70% across all factors. There are many factors that come into play in when deciding whether or not someone will be successful at trying to conceive after tubal reversal surgery. In fact, there many ways that women can improve her odds and chances of having a successful outcome after a tubal reversal.
One important way that a woman can improve her odds of conception and a healthy pregnancy is by taking a multivitamin with at least 400 mcg of folic acid each day. This is important to prepare the body to handle a successful pregnancy. Doing this is like purchasing pregnancy insurance because folic acid reduces the odds of having miscarriage or birth defects.

Another very important point to remember is that you must stop smoking in order to heal properly from the tubal reversal procedure. I would go so far as to say you should do so before even undergoing the surgery. Not only does smoking impact your healing after surgery, but it is important to stop smoking to give the best chances of having a healthy baby and pregnancy. This also applies to drinking alcohol.

Sometimes, women will have a tubal reversal and still be unable to become pregnant. This can be for a variety of reasons including infertility problems on the part of the man and is a good reason for checking him out as part of you doing all you can to improve your chances of trying to conceive.

However, most women will become pregnant within 12 months after having their tubes untied. It can be possible that a woman's tubes are blocked, but doctors specializing in tubal reversal surgery recommend waiting at least one year before having an HSG x-ray to see if the tubes are blocked. This is because women have an 8 to 10% chance each month that they ovulate to become pregnant if all other factors are ideal which just improves your chances when trying to conceive as you go along each month.

Getting Pregnant After Miscarriage

Getting Pregnant After Miscarriage:2 Simple Strategies You Can Use To Safeguard Your Next Pregnancy
The thought of getting pregnant after a miscarriage can leave you feeling frightened and scared for the simple fact that you are not sure if it would not repeat itself.

Unfortunately, it is a sad reality of life but miscarriages occur at a surprising high rate of about one in every three pregnancies.

Why do women miscarry?

There are 6 main reasons why a woman may miscarry her pregnancy and they are:

1. Chromosomal damage

2. Immune System and antibodies

3. Medical Disorders

4. Uterine Abnormalities

5. Hormonal Problems

6. Infection

It will be impossible to do justice to all 6 reasons in one article so we will look at the 2 most common ones: chromosomal damage and uterine abnormalities.

Chromosomal damage: a large percentage of early and first miscarriages are believed to be due to the chromosomal damage. Fortunately miscarriages due to chromosomal damage are not considered a recurring problem and thus the chance of another one due to the same reason is very small.
The other most common causes of miscarriages in the second trimester is what is what is referred to as incompetent cervix. This is basically a weak cervix that tends to dilate before the fetus has reached full term.

Sadly some women are born with congenital abnormalities of the uterus. This means that their uterus is shaped in such a way that the baby cannot grow big enough before it runs out of room and causes the cervix to dilate.

If your health practitioner suspects that a recurring miscarriage is due to an incompetent cervix, she will perform what is known as a hysterogram. This procedure is basically an X ray that uses injected dye to determine the shape of the uterus.

If you are really serious about getting pregnant after miscarriage, there are some simple steps you can take that will greatly increase the odds in your favour.

1. You must eliminate alcohol, smoking, drug consumption and that includes caffeine in tea, coffee and chocolate.

Ideally, you should have achieved all this a couple of months before you decide to try again and of course, it is important that you are at a very healthy weight.

2. The Use of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):

The Chinese are famous for using natural herbs, herbal formulas, and herbal teas for addressing various types of issues and miscarriages is no exception.

One such herbal tea is Sang Ji Sheng. It is an excellent herb used to remedy all sorts of blood deficiency symptoms such as general body weakness, hot flashes, increase susceptibility to infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, palpitation, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, insomnia, nervousness just to mention a few.

It is also particularly good for pregnant women as it helps to secure the fetus and reduce the chances of a miscarriage. The recommended dosage is 15 grams once a day.

Now that you know one herb that you can use to safeguard your next pregnancy, the thought of getting pregnant after a miscarriage should no longer be daunting for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Any advice on getting pregnant after miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage and d&c about 6 months ago, and have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant ever since. I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I took birth control pills for 4 years before I started trying, could I maybe have a hormonal imbalance? Please tell me what you think and advice for ttc is welcome!

    • ANSWER:
      Ok so ya I know I'm a guy, but I'm just responding to this because of how similar it is to me and my wife's story. Have you looked into seeing an endocrinologist yet? My wife's egg quality isn't all that great after about the same amount of time. We're trying hormone treatment right now and it seems to be helping. They can look at your egg and let you know whether or not it's a good time to try.
      Hope that helps. I never thought I'd respond to a question in here. lol

  8. QUESTION:
    Does anyone have any feel good stories about getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    Just recently had a miscarriage, I was just over 14 weeks. Needless to say it has been extremely difficult and upsetting.

    I just want to know if anyone has gotten pregnant and had a healthy baby after having a miscarriage? (especially a second trimester miscarriage)

    also how long did it take? I fell pregnant first try last time, do you think I will have difficulty conceiving again? I am 36.

    • ANSWER:
      Many years ago I had a missed miscarriage (where the foetus dies but doesn't come away) at 14 weeks gestation. I went to 17 weeks before the doctor bothered to offer a scan despite bleeding for 2 weeks. Eventually I had an operation to remove the remains and had a severe infection.

      My subsequent pregnancies were easy from the point of view of conception and I had no real problems during the pregnancies. My kids are 16 and 17 years old now.

      There should be no reason you cannot go on to have a successful pregnancy, just talk to your doctor early on next time.

  9. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after miscarriage?
    We went through a miscarriage a couple of weeks ago and our doctor told us that this was one of those things that wasn't a result of either one of our genes, it was just something that randomly happened. He encouraged us to wait one cycle and then try again.

    Does anybody have any suggestions or personal experience for getting pregnant after a miscarriage? We already have a 2 year old son so we know that everything is in working order, so to speak. :)

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Just don't stress too much...I miscarried in December and I was also told to wait at least one cycle before trying again. I waited until after I had my January cycle...I wanted it so badly and was disappointed after February's came and then March's, after that I thought to myself, I still want this, but if it doesn't happen right away it will be ok. I had April's cycle and then here I am 9 weeks pregnant :) . Good luck to you!

  10. QUESTION:
    Do I have a good chance of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage on July 29; I was four weeks along, and everything happened naturally. My doctor recommended waiting one cycle before trying to conceive again. Fortunately, my cycle came and was very regular. My husband and I are now ready to try again. This may sound like a stupid question, but do I have a good chance of getting pregnant again this month? Thank you for any help!

    • ANSWER:
      I have had two miscarriages and got pregnant within the same month of both of them. Don't give up!! I was on fertility with my first child and was told that I could never get pregnant without the fertility drugs. We did not want to take fertility again not wanting more than one more child so we decided not to have any more. Five years later I had another daughter. Good luck, hope this helps!!!

  11. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I suffered from a miscarrige back in Oct.2007 and my husband and I decided to start trying again in December. I got pregnant with my first son with no problem and the same with the one I miscarried, actually we were not even trying. We are not having that kind of luck this time though. Any one know anything about pregnancy after miscarriage, and if it takes longer?

    • ANSWER:
      It could be something as simple as your timing is off hun. Losing a baby is very stressful and as a result it can impact your fertility by delaying or temporarily stopping you from ovulating. Take the time to mourn your lost baby and to heal up mentally as well as physically.
      It is common to be able to concieve immediately following a miscarriage but then again it is very, very common to not concieve the first few times a couple tries to become pregnant.
      There is the timing issue, but also a compatability issue. The common thought is that 1 in 4 pregnancies fail before the woman even knew she could be pregnant from chromosonal incompatability. She just has another menstral cycle and doesn't even know an egg was fertilized.
      Try not to stress about it hun. Many, many couples spend months trying to concieve and think they have a fertility issue when there isn't a problem. It's all about the luck of the draw. Hang in there and enjoy the trying part of it!

  12. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    My husband and I have had unprotected sex 4 times since I've lost my baby and I haven't had a period in a whole month. I don't know if theres any chance of getting pregnant if i haven't had my period yet. I don't need a lectures i just need some advice and if theres a chance when should i test.

    • ANSWER:
      The chances can be slightly HIGHER than usual, because your body is already primed for pregnancy.

      You will ovulate about two weeks BEFORE you get the first period after your miscarriage. So that's when you can get pregnant.

      About testing: since you don't know when to expect your period, you can test about 19 days after the last time you had unprotected sex. This accounts for the about 14 days after ovulation it can take most tests to be accurate, and the about 5 days before ovulation you can have sex and still get pregnant.

  13. QUESTION:
    Any tips on getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    It took us a year to conceive the first time, only to miscarry after about 10 weeks. Everyone said I'd be prgnant right away after the miscarriage, but it's been almost 8 months. I'm healthy, 24 years old, healthy weight, have been taking prenatal vitamins for over a year, don't smoke, no alcohol, almost no caffeine... My husband is also in great shape.
    The only thing is that my periods are REALLY irregular, and always have been. Is there any way I can try to help my cycles be more regular, or take better advantage of the ones I do have?

    • ANSWER:
      Reading your question made me do a double take. It's almost like I had written it myself! I am sorry to read about your miscarriage. It's a painful thing to bear. You are doing everything right. The irregular period part CAN be tricky. What I did was to carefully watch when I would "ovulate" - usually you'll have a thickening of discharge when that happens. And then, my husband and I do the "baby dance". :) Last time that happened, we got pregnant and now I have a beautiful 5 month old daughter. I wish you all the best of luck. :)

  14. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever have a had time getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    It has been over eight months since i had the miscarriage and i am still not pregnant.. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you
    I am 28 years old and I was 12 weeks along when I miscarried.

    • ANSWER:
      I know exactly how you feel i was in the same position as you, I came of depo and after only 5 months fell pregnant, sadly it ended in miscarriage at 8 wks 5 days. After this me and my husband were ttc for almost 18 months with no luck, i think i was just trying too hard every month, and when my periods came i was alway's so upset. We went to the doctors after a year, we were then referred to the fertility clinic and i was put on clomid and after my 3rd round i am now nearly 9 wks pregnant with twins, it will happen for you too.

      Goodluck and lots of babydust to you.

  15. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after Miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage 2 month's ago at 8 weeks and my doctor said everything looks good for me and I didn't need a D&C and I can start as soon as I had my first period and I have had 2 periods and I am ovulating now and I just wanted to know if anyone got pregnant a couple month's after a miscarriage cause we have 2 year old now and he wants a brother or sister and we are really wanting another baby.

    • ANSWER:
      I also miscarried and got pregnant again the very next month - I didn't even get a period in between. I'm nervous though. I'm still very early in my pregnancy. But from what I hear, miscarriages are very common and there is no logical reason or high chance of it happening again.

      Best of luck to you!

    Why do you have a better chance of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    After my Ectopic pregnancy my doctor told me to be careful as I could potentially fall pregnant straight away. I did but unfortunately miscarried and haven't fallen since.

    Does anyone have an explanation??

      Your body is already in a pregnancy state and so it prefers to stay like that. It is also sometimes easier on your body as the hormones stay at a constant as opposed to the dips and dives they usually take

  21. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had problems getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I had a natural miscarriage on July 15th and its been 7 weeks without a period I know I am not pregnant. I know it is natural that people go through miscarriages but I had been trying for 9 months before I got pregnant and I hate the waiting game already. My doctor told me to go in around the middle of September but how long has it taken you to get your period back after a miscarriage?

    • ANSWER:
      I've had 2 miscarriages in the last year. One last October and one this past January. My cycle "rebooted", shall we say 31 and 33 days after respectively. Now though, I can't get pregnant to save my life. I think my miscarriages have dissrupted my luteal phase. Anyway, good luck!

  23. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    Who here has had a miscarriage and gotten pregnant after or had another miscarriage? If you got pregnant with a healthy baby, how long did it take you to conceive them after miscarriage?

    • ANSWER:
      I had that happen 3 times. Miscarried due to medication (provera) and got pg with daughter 3 months later. Got pg and miscarried at 5 weeks (under a lot of stress at time) and got pg 3 months later. The 3rd time, I was on fertility drugs--got pregnant but it was a chem pregnancy (pregnancy hormones were dropping by 16 days post ovulation) so I had a D&C and 2 cycles later (another fertility treatment cycle) I got pregnant again but that also turned into a chem pg.
      You're very fertile after a miscarriage I believe because of the high levels of pregnancy the body had.
      The risk of repeated miscarriage back to back is very rare and usually do to clotting or immune problems. There are blood test that can determine those. But they are very rare and usually the test are done if you have 2 m/c back to back. My last two m/c are due to my age (poor egg quality).
      Also, you don't have to wait to try again. I had an RE (reproductive specialist) helping me after the waiting for AF following my m/c. And my gyn (before going to my RE) helped me after my late m/c (lost a pg at 16 weeks due to listeria) in 2008 after I got my 1st AF 4 weeks from that loss and also when I had my first miscarriage.
      They told me it was old thinking that they uterus needed to rest but they now know that they body simply will not allow a pregnancy if it is not ready to conceive (ovulation will not occur). When the body is stressed even by weight loss or gain or by heavy exercise, our bodies prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Our bodies are pretty good at preventing pg when things aren't in sync.

    Is it true that you are more fertile and its easier to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Anybody with any personal Experiences?Tell me your stories and How Long did it take you to get pregnant again after a miscarriage,and was you trying or did it just happen?

    • ANSWER:
      For me that was not the case. It took about 8 months after my miscarriage to get pregnant. So I personally don't think it plays a role. I think you should wait atleast a month or 2 though before trying again. If this question is regards to a miscarriage you have had...From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry. It is an awful thing to go through, mine was at 15 weeks:( God bless you and good luck...Say a prayer, I am a believer in the power of prayer:)

    getting pregnant after miscarriage....???
    i had a mc 3 yrs ago with twins. well a missed miscarriage. then i just had a miscarriage right now with bleeding. so i was wondering. since this is my second mc and both mc were different what r my chances of carrying a baby to term. they said with my kinda uterus its hard to get pregnant bc its C shaped. So anytips on getting pregnant after a mc. thanks?

    • ANSWER:
      I think the best thing that you could do is go to an OB and get blood work done. Maybe something in your body is causing the miscarriages. It could also be lack of progesterone which is determined by a simple blood test. Having miscarriages are common, because at that point everything is so delicate. There are surgeries to correct the uterus but that would be something you'd have to talk to your OB/Gyne about also. I wish you good luck, I know how hard it is when you keep on experiencing miscarriges!

  28. QUESTION:
    question about getting pregnant after miscarriage?
    So, Ive had one cycle since my miscarriage and now Im spotting a week before my period?
    I usually have a 28 day cycle, so its a week before I should start. I had a little pink on the 26th then the 28th and now slightly heavier but still pink. Do you think Im starting my period early because my cycle is still off from the miscarriage or its implantation bleeding. I did have it with my first pregnancy but it was more brown. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

      really could be either.
      Good luck through this difficult time. i wish you well.

  29. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after miscarriage with a D&C......please help.?
    11 days ago I had to have a D&C for a miscvarriage, I was around 8 weeks pregnant. There was no fetal pole but was a Gestational sac and yolk. Emotionally this is the hardest thing I have ever had to face and although it is hard it is getting better and better each day. After about a week my hormones calmed down and the crying and breakdowns have subsided. I am trying to move forward and be excited about trying again and know that this happened for a reason even if we do not know that reason.

    The doctor told us to wait 2 cycles before we start trying again to let me Uterus heal, he advised that there is a higher chance of miscarriage again if we dont wait for the lining to build up again. So that will put us trying again in January or so. Typically my cycles are very regular, 28 days so I am hoping they stay that way even after this.

    Has anyone had a D&C and had a healthy pregnancy shortly after? I find myself being nervous again about trying and for some reason it not happening for us. In the past I have had no issues getting pregnant, I got pregnant in May of 09 which was ectopic(it was not planned and was a complete surprise, on our honeymoon we had had ONE "accident" and that was when I got pregnant). We then decided to try for our first baby in October '10 and ngot pregnant within 2 months and have a healthy, happy little girl. Then this time I ended up getting pregnant within 2 months of trying as well but sadly had to deal with a miscarriage. I am hoping that getting pregnant stays easy for us as it has been in the past. What do you guys think? Looking for some reassurance and any stories that anyone may have in regards to this.

    Thanks all so much!

    • ANSWER:
      In October 2010 my husband and I found out we were pregnant again, we have a 3 yo son. We were so excited only to find out at a 12 week u/s that the baby hadn't grown past 8 weeks and had no heartbeat. I had a D&C to remove the POC and I was so scared just like you to try again. We waited only one cycle and started trying to concieve after that. We found out in March that we were expecting again and here I am, 40weeks and 3 days pregnant waiting for this baby to come out and I have had zero complications throughout the entire pregnancy. He is a healthy little boy who is obviously very stubborn because he just won't come out! Good luck, you will get your healthy baby soon.

  30. QUESTION:
    How soon after a miscarriage did you get pregnant?
    I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks a few days ago and my doctor said to wait 2 periods until we try again. I was a bit disapointed because I want to try after one. When did you get pregnant after miscarriage? Did it end with a healthy baby? Is there any truth to that If I get pregnant too soon ill miscarry again?

    • ANSWER:
      There is always a possibility of miscarriage whether you have had a miscarriage or not.
      I have had 6 miscarriages in total but have 3 healthy children.

      My last child was conceived about 3 weeks after i miscarried. I bled for 2 weeks and fell pregnant in the week after that.
      I never had any complications other the extreme sickness from 5 weeks right until the birth.

      The only thing i would say is if you are going to try again make sure you are emotionally ready to cope with another possible miscarriage if it should happen.

  31. QUESTION:
    Body is still acting pregnant after miscarriage?
    On October 24th I had an 11 week miscarriage. I bled for about 5 days and passed (I think) everything. Now, 9 days later I still have a fair amount of hcg in my system (as evidenced by a HPT) and my body is still acting like it's pregnant. My boobs are getting bigger and my uterus is still very hard.

    Is this normal or could I still be pregnant? How long does it take for a body to realize that there's nothing there?

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry for your loss! Everyones body reacts differently to miscarriage, it is no surprise that your body has not yet gotten the signal that you are no longer pregnant. It takes some time for the HCG to exit your body. It could take as little as a few days to a whole month (unfortunately). Having been there myself, I know this period of time is perhaps the worst part. Just give yourself time to heal and do things that take your mind away from this (as much as possible). Lean on your friends for support. Take care.

  32. QUESTION:
    How soon is it possible to get pregnant after miscarriage?
    I just read that you ovulate 2 weeks after miscarriage. I had one on 11/28 and 2 weeks after would be yesterday 12/12.

    I had unprotected sex (pull out method) on 12/10 and 12/11

    What are the chances I'd be pregnant again so soon? I haven't had my first period yet. In a way I'm hoping I do get pregnant again but I'm also very scared I could miscarry again.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can get pregnant again right away and yes you do ovulate two weeks after. But you might not be pregnant if he pulled out. Then again you could. Good luck! And j
      if you get pregnant right away it will NOT cause you to have another miscarriage! Good luck!

  33. QUESTION:
    getting Pregnant after miscarriage?
    I have very recently had a miscarriage so it is not something im considering yet at all. My miscarriage was a complete miscarriage (no operation).

    I have been told by my doctor to wait at least one period before trying again. He did add it is safe before then but its easier to date if i wait plus my body needs to recover.

    Is that correct or is it safer to wait longer?

    • ANSWER:
      I have had 2 miscarriages the doctor told me with both it is best to wait 4 months to allow your body to heal(it is possible before though) Also she said that if you get pregnant within a year of miscarriage that your chances of having a full term healthy pregnancy is very good.

He nutted in me and I don't want to relive the pain of loosing another baby. My OB told me to wait till I had 3 normal periods(at least) or 6 months later. Basically my question is what are the chances of me getting pregnant right now? Am I more fertile because I MC? What are the chances of MC again? Has anyone had a successful pregnancy that experienced this as well? What should I be worried?

    • ANSWER:
      I miscarried and fell pregnant the next month. My beautiful daughter is 10 :)

      I don't think it makes you any more or less fertile than usual. But if you miscarried at 4 months you should have your next pregnancy monitored closely by your doctor as sometimes they can help stop a miscarriage if they know you're prone to them :) good luck

  44. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get pregnant after miscarriage?
    I was pregnant just before the New Year, about 2-3 weeks. A miscarriage started at a level of hcg of 26. By the 2nd of Jan it had dropped to 4. I still haven't had a period, and I normally have a 21 day cycle. I did a test today (23rd) and it came up positive. Would this be residue levels from the miscarriage, or am I pregnant again? I have been trying, but didn't think it would happen so soon. Can anyone help?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks, and I had a D&C. Two weeks after my D&C I got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy! As far as how long the hcg could be detected in your urine after a miscarriage, I am not sure. I know it was a shorter period for me due to the D&C procedure. I know doctors will typically tell you to at least wait 1 to 2 cycles b4 trying again. Good luck to you!

  2. QUESTION:
    How hard is it to get pregnant at 41?
    I have had sex with a 40 year old about 6 times this last month is it easy to get pregnant at that age?

    • ANSWER:
      If she didn't go through menapause and doesn't have any other issues then It should be fine.

      Although they will watch the pregnancy more...women over 35 get watched cause it's higher risk for misscarige and the baby has a slightly higher chance of being disformed.

  3. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant at 41 with PCOS?
    My mother had Polycystic ovarian syndrome which has made it extremely difficult for her to concieve a child. She had me at 20 and then tried for a second at 30 but had no luck. The doctor told her that because of the PCOS it was going to be hard for her as her eggs become more and more fragile the older she gets. He did say there was a chance though, so they tried invitro 3 times, all worked but ended in miscarriage. Now, 11 years later her cycle has become more normal than its ever been in her life (she's never had a normal predictable period) and she takes a pregnancy test and it's positive. Very positive. Its dark and came up very quick. Now, i'm worried that it's a false positive or something else like that. I've also read that some women can get tumors that can cause a false positive. Anyone know anything ab this? I'm so worried!
    I don't think they're "slim to none" for PCOS. The doctor told us there was a chance. I'm wondering how common a dalse positive is. I've been reading that they're pretty rare.
    She is pregnant! Now we just have to wait it out to make sure we don't miscarry

  4. QUESTION:
    Is safe to get pregnant at 41?
    I'm just wondering if its safe to get pregnant at 41? Is it true that chances are your child will have defects?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a higher risk of a baby with birth defects when you are an older mother, but this is something you should discuss with your doctor.

      Our youngest daughter (we have five children) was born when I was 42 and was a contented, easy baby. She is now 12 and is bright, articulate and funny!

  5. QUESTION:
    doc please help. my friend wants to divorce how does she know if she is still able to get pregnant at 41?
    My friend never wanted children until she told me she is planning to get a divorce. she is close to my age 41. how can she be sure the baby will be born healthy at her age...she is running out of time then to meet a father to concieve as well??.

    Strange isn't it that she did not want a baby until she is about to plan to be single again....I think she is going through a passing phase and the desire for a baby will subside. Human nature is a trixter! this is my friend so don't judge me.

    • ANSWER:
      There is no certainty that anyone will have a perfectly "normal" and "healthy" child no matter the age. But there is a test that helps people to determine if a child is going to be a "healthy normal" child and its call an amniocenteses.

  8. QUESTION:
    I'm 41 weeks pregnant; baby is still not engaged nor am I dilated or effaced at all!! Any advice?
    I've done everything from daily walks to squating, sitting on a birth ball, taking castor oil and nothing is helping! Really trying to avoid a c-section so induction is probably the next step. Not sure why nothing is happening to get labor to progress at this late stage.

      have you been offered a membrane sweep if not ask for one ! i have 3 girls my 1st i had to be induced but my 2nd and 3rd i had membrane sweeps and it worked BOTH times ,i delivered 2 days later with my 2nd and 1 day later with my 3rd (after having membrane sweeps) best of luck and congrats in advance !!!!!!!!!.lisax

  9. QUESTION:
    Is it safe to get pregnant at 41?
    Whar are the risks

    • ANSWER:
      The older you get, the higher the risk of birth defects.

  10. QUESTION:
    what are the risks of getting pregnant at age 41?

    • ANSWER:
      Generally, doctors categorize any pregnancy past 35 as high risk. The odds of having a baby with a birth defect are much higher, and as far as you are concerned, you have a higher risk of miscarriage, a higher risk of diabetes, and you are more likely to have other problems with the pregnancy.

      That having been said, with proper prenatal care, more and more women are having successful pregnancies well into their '40's.

  12. QUESTION:
    I am 41 weeks pregnant and have a 3 1/2 year old that I is really getting to me.?
    Is it normal for me to feel like I am losing it. I am 41 weeks pregnant (yes overdue) and my 3 1/2 year old son is just driving me nuts. I feel like I am totally snapping at him and I am trying not to but he is not listening and is really being bratty. I know he knows he is going to have a baby brother soon and I am sure he is feeling it also but is it normal for me to be feeling crazy like this?

    • ANSWER:
      It is completely normal. I was in the same situation you are. The problem with me was that I was working at a daycare taking care of 11 2 yr olds all day and then going home to my 3 1/2 yr old son. He got the butt of it all. I was tired, irritated, and wanted some alone time. All he wanted was his mommy. I thought that I was going to lose it some days. What you have to do is let him pack a bag for himself. Get toys and things that will keep him busy while you are in the hospital. Have someone come take him to the park for a while so you can rest or take a bath. You both probably need to get away from eachother for a little while. Let him look at his baby pictures and let him look at the sono pics. Mine couldn't wait for his baby to come out. Everytime I went to the dr. he asked if they got his baby out yet. Good luck. And Congratulations.

  13. QUESTION:
    how can i get pregnant at 41 year s old?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how long you've been trying, but the most helpful thing is to consult a good reproductive endocrinologist and see if there is hope for you to get pregnant easily or if you will need to use more powerful treatment. You might need IVF or possibly just IUI and ovulation medications. In a worst case scenario, you might have to decide if you're willing to have a baby with the help of donor eggs.

      I know of women who have had babies with their own eggs even at age 44. But at 41, it's best to take action and not waste time or you might lose a chance that you currently have.

      Good luck! There is still hope if your ovarian reserve is still good.

    41 weeks pregnant, what are my chances of having a cesarean?
    41 weeks, 1cm dilated and have been for 3 weeks, not engaged at all, posterior position, baby over 7 pound, 1st baby and am getting pregnancy induced hypertension. Am being induced in 4 days. What happens with inducing and what are my chances of having a cesarean?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi There, congrats on awaiting your new arrival, i was in a similar situation with my son also had hypertension also known as pre- eclampsia and i too knew exact date i was to be induced.
      there are a few different ways to induce labour i had gels in which they insert them to soften your cervix every 4 hrs until they can break your water and also the midwifes put hormones in through a drip to speed it up, one thing they told me is people in this situation they offer epidural directly as it prevent less risks i guess i had this but 10 Mins gave birth so it didn't have time to work and was disconnected and i personally would not recommend the epidural i think you can choose these days and alot of people these days are having c sections to prevent stretching etc : ) good luck hope everything goes well for you and you bub.

  17. QUESTION:
    Can I be fined for parking in a mother and toddler bay at 41 weeks pregnant?
    I am nearlly 42 weeks pregnant and recently parked in a mother and toddler bay at my local super market. This is the first time I have done this, as I have always been fit and well up to now. I used the bay after being told by several others including a lady at the customer help desk of Tesco that this is perfectly fine to do so, only to be greeted by a fine of £90.00 on my return. I rang the helpline number on the back of the penilty to explain my situation and that I was getting some last minute bits before the BIG day, but the man on the other end was very rude and said he had no compassion for me and that the fine was to be paid within 14 days. This is very upsetting for me as £90.00 is a lot of money to pay epecially when I thought I was doing no wrong. P.s the carpark is owned by a company called "safeparkuk" and although Tesco have been extremely sympathetic and understanding they say they can not help.

    • ANSWER:
      I would then ask as the space is defined "Mother & Toddler" does that mean you can't park there once you've had your baby as technically toddlers are 18months-3 years old?!?

      I would also complain to Tesco about the advice you were given by the lady on the customer help desk. Even if they do nothing to help with your fine it would stop them giving out wrong information to others.

      I do feel for you there was a woman who was given a parking ticket in a pay & display bay at Milton Keynes Shopping centre. She was 30mins late back to her car because she was heavily pregnant and thought she was in labour and fainted/collapsed or similar and the company said tough and that she shouldn't have been out on her own. Some people are just money grabbers and completley callous.
      Good Luck with getting it overturned.

    can i use thrush pessary at 41 weeks pregnant?
    hi all i was given some vaginal thrush pessaries a while back when i kept getting recurrent thrush and was told it was safe to use them all through my pregnancy. now i think i have it, and i am nearly 41 weeks :( what im worried about is i dont know if my cervix has started to dilate yet, and is it still ok to use the pessary if it has... is it possible to go too far up if you know what i mean!! will double check with midwife just wondered what everyone thought. thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I was 39 weeks pregnant with my son and had thrush too, its to do with your ph balance levels changing and I was given a course of pessaries. I too was scared but if you have been prescribed them then go ahead, after all at 41 weeks nothing bad will happen.
      Good luck when junior finally decides to appear !

  20. QUESTION:
    Sorry if stupid question but what are these pains at 41 weeks pregnant?
    I really don't think I'm in labor. There is nothing I can time, no real contractions, maybe some stomach tightening here and there occassionally, and some crampy feelings lower front and lower back pretty much non stop, still most likely braxton. I had this a few days straight in week 39 and thought surely I'd have progressed some but found out I hadn't dilated or effaced more at all!! Few days ago lost the plug. And the past 2 days have been in horrible discomfort and pain. The pressure on my tailbone, pelvic bone hurts really bad. It takes everything I have to sit up in bed, or roll over. It doesn't feel like the baby is too low, and I'm assuming it's just the lovely postion she's in and I'm getting horribly frustrated thinking that all this awful pain isn't really doing anything to bring on actual labor, so kinda like a waste of time. They're inducing me on Tuesday anyways. So is this most likely indeed the baby just pushing downward, in a bad position like I think? Did anyone have these pains for a couple day straight (without any real contractions to time or anything) and go into labor on their own? How long did it take? Ya know questions like that. Basically looking for others who've been through the same pains. Can't sleep, might as well try to find out more :)

    • ANSWER:
      It's your body getting ready for labour, you may already be in the early stages. Give your midwife a call and let her/him know how you're feeling so they know something may or may not be happening.

    41 weeks pregnant - is it safe to leave the house to go shopping?
    Hi, just wondering if it is safe to leave the house to go shopping for lets say an hour or two when ur past ur due date. Just getting really frustrated sitting at home and doing nothing

    • ANSWER:
      Of course it is! You should never feel like you have to limit yourself to any safe activity while pregnant, no matter HOW pregnant you are.

      What's the worst that happens? Your water breaks? Walking is a very good activity to help bring on labor. Go out, shop, have some "me" time. It will be the last you get for a long time.

  23. QUESTION:
    I'm almost 41 weeks pregnant and at my last appointment my doctor stated that I wasn't making progress?
    I'm a little worried because he says my cervix hasn't softened and hasn't changed since my last visit.. I've been having contractions and everything but nothing. He said that he can't medically induce me because he's unsure if my son will fit through my pelvic and he doesn't want to risk it so he suggested that I wait another week (41 weeks) and see if there's any changes or I will have a c-section. I was just wondering if this suggestion was normal of him to make or do many pregnant women of a petite stature such as myself get the same choices.

    • ANSWER:
      I think your doctor's advice is right. induction works for uterine contractions but not for cervix. it will be hard for the baby to come out. wait for a week and if your situation doesnt improve, go for c-section.

  24. QUESTION:
    41 weeks pregnant had membrane stripping last night at 11pm. I am 4 cm dilated and 60% effaced.?
    I am so ready to go into labor. I went to the doctor last night after work because I was having contractions. But of course when my husband and I got to the doctor the contractions slowed down. I asked the doctor to strip my membrane and she did. After she told me to stay on the hospital campus and walk for two hours. I was already 4cm when I got to the hospital and 60% effaced. So my husband and I power walked for two hours. We were so excited. When they checked me after two hours still no change. So we walked for another two hours. It is now 3am and still no change. They released me at 4am and sent us home. My plug came out today but still no contractions. Is there another method for going into labor? I am scheduled to be induced on Monday morning but I heard this is painful so I want to go into labor natrually. Can anyone give me any advice????

    • ANSWER:
      Your body is going to kick in when it's ready. A lot of the hard work is already done. 4cm and 60% effacement is an excellant beginning!
      If you do end up being induced, I doubt you will need much of a kick.
      Pitocin is the drug most likely to be used on you. You're only given what you need to aquire an adequate pattern. Too much can stimulate too many contractions.
      What is hard with inducing is that most women are beginning at hardly any change in cervix. The pit is given and those early contractions can be rough if you're not ready.
      Yours should be easy, if you haven't already gone into labor. You've got that hard early stuff out of the way.
      Good luck!!

  25. QUESTION:
    37 Weeks Pregnant Measuring 41 CM?
    Okay at my last week visit I was exactly 37 weeks pregnant, and my belly was measuring 41 cm, which the doctor told me I should have been about 37 cm. So Tuesday when I go(I'll be 38w 1d) they are doing an ultra sound to try and get a fetal weight estimate. I have had a completely healthy pregnancy, no diabetes, no high blood pressure, and I've only gained a total of 30lbs, which my doctor told me 25-35lbs was a good/healthy weight gain for me. She gave me 3 reason for the large measurements; excess fluid/swelling, the way he was laying that day, or I could have a big baby.

    My question is, at 38 weeks if they see I'm carrying a 10 lbs baby around will they induce me or will they leave me alone until my due date? My mom had 3 kids and all of us were 10 lbs babies, so its very possible the same holds true for me as well. Just curious about this because I've always heard bigger babies are harder to deliver.

  26. QUESTION:
    Do you get much bigger from 38 to 41 weeks pregnant?
    Before you start giving me lectures on the health of the baby/ies being the biggest concern - yes of course. Only I am having twins and huge. The babies ate literally bending my ribs outwards and it hurts, I've had enough! I can't even go out the house without people staring at me and making comments. I just want to prepare myself incase I go snother 3 weeks...

    • ANSWER:
      I'm not having twins but I haven't gotten very much bigger (if at all) from 38 to 40... I think I had gained like a pound at my last appointment. I feel you on the ribs though! I was due yesterday and mine are KILLING me - I can't imagine having two babies in there!!! Don't worry, there is almost no way you will make it to 41 weeks. You're *really* almost done, congratulations!

  27. QUESTION:
    At almost 41 after not getting pregnant since 1988?
    I had two abortions when I was 17 and 18 and had the money to have my babies but it was my Mom that said when I was 17 she was to embarrassed because of this. I had the support back then more than I have now at age 41. All these years I never had to use birth control. I also have to mention I had a miscarriage at 20. All the pregnancies was from my ex boyfriend. We grew up together and we were together for 5 years.
    Now I am married for 14 years and my husband has 3 grown children and does not want any kids. He is going to be 49 and I am going to be 41. It can be because I had the flu last week and been on medication for 5 days but I am feeling so sick (naseua) for over a week now. 24/7
    I don't feel cramps or nothing. My last cycle was 1/22 and before that 12/28.
    My doctor in 1990 said I can not conceive my tubes are fully closed but do you think anything can happen.
    My husband is very upset but I can't help it if I am pregnant. What would you do?

  28. QUESTION:
    Is it possible for a lion-head rabbit (I'm thinking she's a dwarf) to be pregnant for 41 days?
    My daughter was given a lion-head rabbit on November 15, 2009. One week later we put her in the cage with our other (supposedly) female rabbit. This morning I went out and found 4 mutilated newborn rabbits. I've done some research (because I'm no expert when it comes to rabbits) and everything says that the gestation period is, on average, 31 days. With that being said, my guess is that the other rabbit is male, because the timing makes sense. But, again, I was guaranteed today that the original rabbit is female and registered (although I don't have the papers). We received both rabbits from a friend, not a breeder. All I know is that we've had her 41 days...so I don't see how it's possible she got pregnant before coming here. All input is very much appreciated...I am a newbie at this. Please be kind, I'm doing my best to take care of these rabbits, since they were both a gift to my 10 year old daughter.

    • ANSWER:
      one of your rabbits is a male and he got the doe pregnant about 28-32 days ago, not 41 days ago, that's impossible. he must have gotten her pregnant shortly after you put the one in the cage with the other. if you know which one gave birth to the kits, then you know which one is the buck and which one is the doe. if you don't know, you can flip one over and "look up its skirt" by basically putting your index finger above the urethra and your thumb below the anus and spread your fingers apart. males will not only have testicles that you should see without doing this but a hooked penis will come out. females will have a slit, its kind of gross but its necessary. its very easy to tell the sex on older rabbits, but its really hard to tell with kits because they are so small. separate the rabbits, or get the male neutered. hope this helps :]

    PLEASE HELP US!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Well women are doing things much later in life but I don't feel one way or another about it myself. also the other high risk factors make for a stressful time I'm high risk for other health reasons but it's kinda hard I've also had a few losses and had to get fertility treatment to carry a pregnancy and I'm 24. It a lot to go through. But if she's down for whatever I say more power to ya. Now when i went to a fertility doc. @ the time i had unexplained fertility problems. They went over possible tubal problems they explained all the possible problems they may find wrong with me and explained the possible forms of treatment. IVF and tubal unblocking being the most expensive routes while pills, injections and IUI being fully covered by insurance. We where told that in the event they found issues with my tubes my only 3 options where to have one of the damaged tubes removed to reduce risks of ectopic or have surgery to unblock or correct damaged tubal problems. Or do IVF. I think in mom's case she may just want to opt for IVF and bypass the tubal issues altogether. Hope I was able to help and best of luck to ya!

  32. QUESTION:
    41 weeks pregnant - mother in law and others wont stop calling!?
    Im nearly 41 weeks. Im trying to be patient, I know the baby will come out when shes ready but Im finding all the phone calls from people asking if theres any news, very tiresome, even though I have told everyone I will let them know when the baby is born. I know its only because they care, but having to repeat myself up to 10 times a day (I kid you not!) is making me upset. Its like a constant reminder that I am overdue and Im just trying to chill and not think about it which is impossible in this situation.
    The worst of all this is that my mother in law keeps calling me. We have told everyone that NOBODY is getting a call until the baby is born, including her. It is very important to my husband and I that it is just us in the delivery room, we do not want anyone turning up at the hospital while I am in labor. My MIL knows this and I feel she keeps calling because its her way of finding out if Im in labor and therefore not respecting our wishes. any advice?
    Lindy Lou:
    to answer your question, yes my MIL is the worst because she calls at least twice a day. My husband and I both know shes doing it so she can 'catch' me in labor and I feel its very controlling and unfair of her to be going against our wishes.
    This is OUR baby and OUR decision. And no my mother wont be in the delivery room either as she will not be around but if she was around then I would certainly want her to be in the room. Giving birth is an extremely personal experience for a woman and so utimately its the womans decision who to have in the delivery room. I am not particulary close to my MIL so why would I want her present at the most personal and vulnerable time of my life. I dont feel that I am any different from most woman on this. Sorry but there is just no comaprison to be made between your mother in law and your own mother when it comes to this.

    • ANSWER:
      First you should just reiterate your wishes to her. Let her know that while you really appreciate all of her calls you just need time to rest before the baby is born and she is the first on your list to call after the delivery. This will make her feel important and hopefully reduce the number of times that she calls. Just let the machine get it and get yourself some rest before the baby is born.

  33. QUESTION:
    41 weeks pregnant having light bleeding?
    Hello everyone, this is my first baby. Well, I had my check up yesterday morning and the doctor performed an i.e. on me and i'm now at 4cm. When I got home in the evening I noticed light bleeding but I'm not feeling any pain. The bleeding is still continuing up to now but still not experiencing any pain. The doctor said I'm fine and just wait till I bleed excessively or in serious pain.

    Does anyone had the experience I'm having? Any advice? I'm deeply worried coz like I had never bled for the past months, duh.

    • ANSWER:
      It is "The SHOW".
      It happens because your body is releasing the "vaginal plug", preparing itself to delivering your baby. Very normal in mature pregnancy.
      The labor can happen anytime now.

      For my first pregnancy, the show happened 2 days before the real labor (i was discharged from the hospital for false labor :p).
      For my second pregnancy it was 10 hours before the delivery.

      Normally you will feel regular / rhythmic abdominal pain (the CONTRACTION) after the show. But some women don't bleed at all. It is normal too.

      But if your water bag (amnion sac) ruptured, if there is any water gushing or leaking from your vagina, go to the hospital right away, even though there is no pain. Delaying to do so may cause death to your baby.

      For now, prepare yourself for the delivery (baby bag, documents, etc), relax, and have a good rest.

      Good luck. May God bless you.

  34. QUESTION:
    41 weeks pregnant am i leaking amniotic fluid?
    i am 41 weeks pregnant and i noticed a small gush of fluid about 5 hours ago i put on a sanitary pad and within 4 hours it was soaked as it is leaking as i stand and sit.i have been watching for contractions witch are there but not very painful but noticeable also noticed a very small amount of blood at one point like pencil eraser size.the fluid is a little thicker than water and has a yellow tint could this be amniotic fluid? i am going to the hospital anyway in 3 hours as soon as my husband gets here..

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like amniotic fluid. You might not have 3 hours honey...You need to go in sooner or at least call labor and delivery and make sure they think it's ok that you are home still it will be 8 hours since your bags ruptured before you leave...The risk of infection greatly increases after your water breaks.

  35. QUESTION:
    41 Weeks Pregnant and Being Induced!?
    I am almost 41 weeks pregnant and being induce tomorrow using Pitocin. I am 3 cm dialated and 90 percent effaced. My doctor stretched my membranes today at my doctors appointment and i am scheduled for my induction tomorrow. Im just curious as to how long to expect it will take. Or just the general experience for any woman who has been through it. and since my goal is to not have an epidural, if anyone was sucessful in refraining form getting an epidural.
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      my first time i was induced to 16 hours for me to deliver and was a nightmare. but my 3rd son i was induced and it went smooth and delivered after 6 hours. i had epidural on both of them and highly recommend it. i did not have a chance to have a epidural with my 2nd son and it hurt so bad. the labor was to quick and they did not have a chance. the pushing was 10 times as hard and after wards it still hurt badly. but every woman is different and can tolerate pain differently. if you can handle the pain without any drugs do it. but don't make it much of a horrible experience where you can't enjoy it. good luck to you!

    My question is-- my blood platelets are really low, and they have told me I can't have an epidural or any pain meds that will thin my blood any further. Then my dr got called out to a delivery, so I never got to ask him- what pain meds are available to me that DONT thin your blood-- no epidural or spinal, I know that already. I have ben having contractions all day yesterday, all night last night, and getting worse now- maybe I won't make my induction, lol... anyways, pain management techniques would be appreciated! This is my second baby, baby # 1 was over 10 lbs, and I did it naturally, but this time I want to be more comfortable and would like to look at pain relief options.

    Also, is it possible to be in labour and only have the following symptoms--- lower abdonimal pain like period cramps, nausea, headache and lower back pain, and sharp cervical pain? I haven't had any contractions yet...
    and I THINK I am in labour, when I was at the drs Thursday he said I was already 4 cm dialated... This just feels SO different than labour with my son that I don't know what's going on... labour without contractions? Should I go to the hospital?

    ALSO! I was in labour for like 47 hours with my son-- he was 10 lbs ++. I dialated really slowly. since I am already dialated to almost 4 cm, should labour be a bit quicker this time (I hope so!), and will I need an episiotomy like I did with my son? I heard with second babies you don't often need an episiotomy and that labour goes much quicker...

    Thanks!
    And I am only asking this out of curiosity- since I am being induced tomorrow, and I have a dr appt this afternoon... just asking because I'm curious... I know better than to rely on yahoo answers for medical stuff, lol...

    41 weeks pregnant....?
    41 weeks pregnant and recently had a membrane sweep. Now for the last week i have been getting
    a yellowy discharge on and off... Could this be my mucus plug coming out bit by bit or does it only come out all at once?

    Also is it normal to have yellowy-ish discharge?..

    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      its normal for your plug to come out bit by bit. usually its tinged with red, brown, or pink though. the yellow-ish discharge could just be normal discharge, ive had that for a month now. your plug is supposed to be boogery, or like jelly. good luck!

    41 weeks pregnant and nothing?
    I was considered 41 weeks pregnant on Monday when I went to the doctors and he scrapped my membranes. I am a little over a centimeter dilated and have not had a single contraction. I was 3 weeks early with my first and know i'm over. I am working 2 jobs and getting little to no sleep at night so i am worn pretty thin. I have tried spicy foods, nipple stimulation, sex, walking, and sweeping and NOTHING is working. Any ideas? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will try just about anything besides castor oil.

    Did anyone have their baby at 38 weeks pregnant?
    I'm 37 weeks pregnant right now and at my 36 weeks check up my cervix was very soft and I was 1 cm. dilated, which I know basically doesn't mean anything except my body is at least getting prepared for labor. My first daughter was born at 41 weeks pregnant and I was wondering what the chances were that this baby would come a little earlier? I knew the exact date of my last period and wondered since my due date is based on that, wouldn't I go a week past my due date since I obviously didn't get prego on my period, or are you actually pregnant like 38 weeks, so I could have this baby next week? Just wondering, thanks!

      You never know. I had my first at 38 weeks and my 3rd at 38 weeks and 5 days.

    What are the chances of a 41 year old woman getting pregnant?
    She has her period every month. The man is 44, and they have sex at random a few times per month.

    • ANSWER:
      She has her period regularly, so she is fertile. If he fully ejaculates in her, I would say there is every chance.

    Someone please help! I am 41 + 3 weeks, and cannot be induced because nothing is ready. M cervix is still high and not dilated, baby is not engaged. Nothing is happening!
    Has anyone got any tips on how to get things going??

Getting Pregnant After The Depo Shot

How To Get Pregnant - help,Why can't I get pregnant after taking depo-provera
It is very common if you and your partner did not want to have a baby in the first period of the marriage. So, you might try to avoid getting pregnant by using birth control method. As you know that there are many types that you can use. However, taking birth control pills is considered to be very popular because you will find that it is effective, convenient, and also affordable as well.

Another type of birth control, that women often decide to use, is called Depo-Provera. This type can be given by injection every 3 months. It is said that you will be prevented from getting pregnant for around thirteen weeks per one injection. Many women would like to use Depo-Provera because it is a lot easier than taking birth control pills. However, using Depo-Provera will take longer for you to get pregnant than taking the pills. This is a fact that you need to know in case that you think it is the right time to stop using birth control and if you want to find out how to get pregnant you should avoid this injection.

Assume that you want to stop using any birth control methods and you want to get pregnant. The big question in this case is - how long will it take to get pregnant after stop using birth control? Well, let's find out the answer to this big question together.
how long will it take to get pregnant after stop using any birth control methods?

It is not easy to get the right answer to this question. Actually, you can get pregnant as soon as your body is ovulating again, but the question is, when is your body ovulating? It depends on what type of birth control you were using, and before you decided to use it, your menstrual cycles were normal or not.

If You Were Taking Birth Control Pills

In case that you were taking birth control pills as your method to avoid getting pregnant, then, it may take approximately 2 weeks, after stop taking the pills, for your body to ovulate. However, this is just a fact that it should be, but actually, it may not be like mentioned because it is not easy to tell when you will ovulate again. Some women's body can get back on track right after they stop taking the pills, but others need to wait for a few months. However, this is not considered to be uncommon at all.

If You Were Taking Depo-Provera

As previously stated that Depo-Provera will take longer than taking the pills for your cycles to get back on track. It is a fact that this method is designed to prevent you from pregnancy for about 3 months, but it may prevent you for longer than that. Depo-Provera also has a very complicated process inside your body in order to prevent you from pregnancy, and because of this, after stop using Depo-Provera, you may need to wait for a year before your menstrual cycles return to normal, and it may take around two years before getting pregnant.

How Long Should You Wait Before Trying To Get Pregnant?

It is safe to start right after you stop using birth control, but there is very less opportunity for you to get pregnant. So, it is recommended that you should wait until your cycles return to normal, then, you can start trying. By having a regular cycle, it will be easier for you to predict your ovulation period and find out how to get pregnant faster as well.

Finally, if you have been waiting for so long and your cycles will not get back to normal, or anything, that you think it is not normal, happen to your body, just do not hesitate to see your doctor immediately to take care of that issues.

      Stop taking it now. Depo causes Osteoporosis. As to how long it would take to get pregnant, it depends on your body. It didn't take me long to get pregnant, but it did give me the bone density of an 87-year old. Totally not worth it.

  8. QUESTION:
    Any success stories on getting pregnant after the depo shot?
    I was on it for two years when I 17 and got off of them when I was 19. I'm 22 now and my husband and I are trying to have a baby. It's been five months with no luck. And all I read are horror stories of women never getting pregnant after or it taking years to conceive. Is there anyone who hasn't had any trouble getting pregnant after they got off the shot?
    I was on the pill for about 6 months to control the cysts on my ovaries but they never helped so I got off of them.

    • ANSWER:
      im one of those 'horror stories'. it took me over 2 years after my last shot to get pregnant.
      i loved the shot because it took my period away completely, but i got off the shot because my bones were aching and my hair was falling out. once i stopped, my period would come and go when ever it felt like it and last for weeks each time. it was awful. i started birth control pills which regulated my period. i was on the pills for 3 months and then stopped. i got pregnant right away. and here i am today, 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant :D

  9. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after depo shot?
    well here's the thing, my husband and i have been TTC for 6 months. I had my last shot in November 2008. I just want to get an average of how long it took other people to get pregnant after being on depo. I had my first period in August 2009. and the second period was about a week late so, so far pretty regular. And if any of you have any advice about how to get pregnant sooner that would be great. Thanks!
    only serious answers please no immature ones like lori s.

    • ANSWER:
      I've been off depo 8 weeks and I am still waiting for my period to come and I'm not pregnant.

      You've already started your periods, so that's great. I suggest you buy Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPK's) and see if you are ovulating. I've never used them yet but you start using them on Cycle Day 10 and test everyday (same time) until you get a positive or your period starts. If you don't get a postive by your next period, then you are not ovulating. If you do get a postive, then you have resumed ovulating and can get pregnant if you time it right.

      Good luck!

  10. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after the depo shot?
    I have been on the depo shot for nine months, and it just ended on October 29th. I decided not to take it again, due to hearing about the depo causing infertility or problems with getting pregnant. My hubby and i have had unprotected sex 2x since coming off. anyone get pregnant right after ending it?

    • ANSWER:
      Well it’s all down to the individual some women get pregnant straight away some take a lot longer the official guideline though is that your fertility may not come back properly for up to 18 months.....

      You did not mention whether your periods have started yet I came off my depo in January and my period started in September but you do not have to necessarily have a period to ovulate but it’s very rare to become pregnant if you’re not having a regular period/cycle.

      Good Luck

  11. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after Depo shot?
    I am on the Depo Provera shot right now with a 6 month old daughter. I just got my third shot, and my husband and I are starting to talk about a "timeline" for when we want to have our next (and last) baby.
    Ideally, I would love to have the next one around the time my daughter is about 2 years old (about a year and a half from now).
    When should I get my "last" shot? How long did it take you to get pregnant after your last shot?

    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    • ANSWER:
      It really just varies on how the shot acted for you. For me it took my hubby and I almost 2 yrs to get pregnant with our second daughter after the last shot I had. Some women it only takes a few months and others it can take years. The Depo Shot is the one form of birth control that can take the longest time for you to get pregnant after stopping it.They told me when I got it that the time frame was anywhere from 6 months to 3 yrs for getting pregnant after stopping the shot and if we had to try longer than 3 yrs then to see a specialist for advice.
      So whenever you feel is right to stop it then do because it can take a few months up to a couple years for you to get pregnant again.
      Best of Luck

  12. QUESTION:
    Anyone else having trouble getting pregnant after depo provera shot?
    I was put on the depo shot after conceiving my daughter at age 17. I have always had irregular periods so I did not find it unusual that they were irregular with the shot. I continued to take the shot for 3 years. My husband and I decided to try having another baby soon after we got married so I stopped getting the shot March 2009 so it has been 18 months and absolutely nothing has happened. Before when we were younger we were always perfect about b.c and it was the "once" that we didn't that we got pregnant so I know we were both previously very fertile. After all the research I have been doing about depo provera affecting infertility I am getting extremely nervous almost at the point of tears. My daughter passed away only 8 hours after she was born back in 2006 due to preterm labor at 28 weeks and other complications. If I was never able to have a child, it would be my worst nightmare. If I had known the high risk fertility issues after the shot I would have obviously opted out and used a different method. Anyone having similar problems? Any positive depo stories would be greatly appreciated. I am going to definitely go to the doctor soon but I feel I'd like to know what type of situation I'm really looking at and I'm scared of what I know doctors might confirm. Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.

      I too started having the depo shot after my son was born when i was 16-17 years old.
      I was having the shot for about 2 years, but they took me off it because i was under weight and smoked, which can cause brittle bones.

      I moved onto a different method, and was on that for 2 years. I then had another baby, and am now back on the depo shot.
      I like to read into any medication i am taking, and have read the leaflet for depo cover to cover, and it does state that you may have some temporary trouble conceiving after taking it.
      I was off the Depo for 2 years, and managed to have a baby after taking it.

      I think that the Depo is just taking it's time to come out of your system, i seriously don't think you are perminatly infertile. I would be VERY surprised if your doctor tell's you otherwise, as Depo has been used for YEARS, and not a single case like this has been reported so far.

      I think you just need to give it some more time.

      Best of luck to you and your partner for the future.

  13. QUESTION:
    Has anyone else ever experienced trouble getting pregnant after the depo shot??
    I had beed on the depo shot for about a year. That ended in September 2007, I have since only gotten my period once and it was a very bad painful one, lasted 4 days. That was a couple of months ago. Since then I have not had a period or symtoms of one coming. Anyone else ever been throu this? I would like to get pregnant sometime in the near future.
    It's been a year, does it really take that long?

    • ANSWER:
      I TRULY HATE THE DEPO SHOT THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE THAT SHOT MESSED UP MY BODY. I HAVE BEEN OFF THE SHOT SINCE MARCH 2008. I ONLY HAD ONE SHOT DEC.2007. THE SIDE AFFECTS WAS HORRIBLE. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT ONCE YOUR CYCLE BECOMES REGULAR THEN YOUR BODY IS BACK TO NORMAL. I STARTED HAVING REGULAR PERIODS IN MAY AND I HAVE BEEN TTC BUT NO LUCK. WELL GOOD LUCK ON THIS JOURNEY AND I HOPE GOD BLESS YOU WILL SOON WITH YOUR BUNDLE OF JOY..LOTS AND LOTS OF BABY DUST....

  14. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting Pregnant after Depo Shot?
    I've been on the depo shot for almost six months now. I've read on several websites that once you get off of the shot it could take up to a year for your period to regulate again in order to conceive. The Depo shot is the only form of BC I have ever been on and as I mentioned I've only been on it for 6 months. I'm scheduled for my next injection the day after tomorrow. My husband and I have been talking and we want to try to have a baby. I've kept my periods throughout my time on the shot...they never went away. If I don't take my shot this Wednesday, how soon do you think I can get pregnant? I know it can take from 12-18 months because of the regulation, but I never became irregular, I still had a normal period just like always. Any advice? or any other ways to help me conceive??

    • ANSWER:
      I was on the shot for about an year when I decided that I didn't like the side effects that I was having( weight gain, loss of period and etc). I never went back to the doctor and just went about life still being careful though not to get pregnant. Well I guess I wasn't to careful though because only about 3 months after missing it, I became pregnant with my second child. So as you can see you could get pregnant immediately or it could take a little bit of time. Its all about when your body is ready. Take it easy, relax and have fun. It will happen when its supposed to. Good luck!

  15. QUESTION:
    How long would it take me to get pregnant after using the Depo shot?

    • ANSWER:

  16. QUESTION:
    How long to get pregnant after depo shot?
    So I have been off the Depo shot since may 2011 and still havent been able to get pregnant. Also I havent even gotten one spot of period. I havent had my period in about 2 yrs. Im worried I might not be able to have kids anymore! Can someone please help me figure out what needs to be done, and why I cant concieve?

    • ANSWER:
      I was on depo for 2 years and it took me 2 1/2 years off depo before I got pregnant and we lost the baby... I don't think loosing the baby was depo related though.. Depo Provera really screws up your fertility...

      EDIT: I got my period back normal after like one year.... Everyone is different (which sucks to hear, I know). But 2 years does seem lie a long time. I would go talk to your doctor about how long it's been. There are injections they can give you to help "encourage" your period to start. I have never had them so I don't really know much about it. But I have seen people talk about it on yahoo answers before.

      Sometimes "The Pill" is prescribed to help regulate periods. I'm not sure if it helps start them or not. But it might be something to look into

      Also, there is Clomid which can help your chances of conceiving. I worked in a pharmacy and we sold it for a month to people without insurance so it's pretty cheap. =)

      I wouldn't stress too much about not having kids due to Depo, it has happened before but technology can go a long way now. I would just go see or call your doctor and ask what they suggest to help you start again and worry about the kid part later. There's SO much that can be done now-a-days. =)

But lately i have been very sick and even vomiting and smells make me nauseous, it has been for several days.

    I took two shots of depo. So I was on it for six months. Never did I stop menstruating. I spotted the entire time. I'm off it now and still spotting, some cramping lately too. I was wondering how long it would take for it to wear off so I could try and conceive?
    Ive heard it can last up to 18 months, even though I only had two shots. Would there be anyway of regulating me and speeding up this process?
    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      It all depends on the person. I got pregnant the next month!

  24. QUESTION:
    I have heard all of these horror stories about getting pregnant after the Depo shot? Is there any hope for me?
    I was on the Depo Shot for a little over a year. It has been 6 months since I have been off of it. On May 4th, I started my first period since being off of the Depo shot. I spotted on and off until the 22nd or 23rd.
    My husband came in me on May 25th, May 31st, June 3rd, and June 5th.

    I dont know when I am supposed to start my next period or when I ovulate because of the Depo. But so far this month, no period.

    Do you think I could be pregnant since he came in me 4 times this month and i have not started my period yet? Or could i not be because of the depo shot? Have u had success getting pregnant this soon after being off of the depo? (it has been 6 months for me)

    What days should I test?
    Other help/advice please!

    I have taken a pregnancy test everyday since Saturday. All have been neg. But has it been too early to test?

    I'm starting to get discouraged :/ Has anyone been successful getting pregnant this soon after Depo? :(

    • ANSWER:
      Trying to conceive after coming off depo can be frustrating,it can take up to a year for your cycles to settle down and for ovulation to become regular again and it can be hard to pinpoint ovulation for a while too,that said i came off a 3 month shot then took the pill for a month before trying and got pregnant right away so not everyone will have a long wait.

      The tests you are taking could be too early yet,it can easily take up to 14 days after conception for a test to show positive so you are not out of the game for this cycle yet but if it hasn't happened this time you might want to think about buying some ovulation prediction tests.

      You can use online calculators but they are just a guide to when you should be fertile and not much use if you have unsettled cycles whereas the ovulation kits will tell you when you are fertile so you have a better chance of conceiving.

  25. QUESTION:
    Is there any way of getting pregnant after quitting the Depo shot?
    I was just married in April 2006 and me and my husband had decided that I would have my last shot that month because we knew that it would take alittle while to get pregnant after that.( I had also just started the shot in November 2005.) Well we have been trying ever since, and even before then we didn't worry about protection, and nothings happening. We both want a baby so badly, and I am starting to stress out because I can't give us that baby.
    What can I do?
    I haven't started my period yet, but before the shot I really wasn't all that regular.
    But the first three months of my first one I spotted alittle, and lost alot of weight. I weighed in at 125 for my first shot and on my last one I weighed in at 109.
    I was on the shot before too, but it had been about 2 years before and I was on it for 2 years. I don't know if that would effect me too or not.
    I have went through some of the questions on here and found that it took some women 5 years to have a baby. Can it really take that long?
    4 years before, sorry.

    • ANSWER:
      I started taking the shot the day before I was married in 1998. I took my last shot in 2000. We tried and tried for 2 years to get pregnant. Finally I got pregnant with our beautiful little girl exactly 2 years after going off that horible depo shot. Dont give up especially since you are just now going off the shot. Do not stress bout getting pregnant. Once you just relax and dont worry that is when it will happen. There is hope for you, I was on the shot longer than you and I got pregnant. It just takes time, dont give up. My daughter is now 3. Best of luck!

  26. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant right after getting off depo shot birth control?
    I was suppose to get my next depo shot I think the beginning of last month. I never got it and haven't had my period yet. I'm now trying to get pregnant and am afraid I might still have some of the shot left in me. Unless I'm unable to have babies for different reasons, is it possible for me to get pregnant now? Like right after getting of the shot? I hope so.

    • ANSWER:
      After you stop Depo Provera you should wait a few months before trying to conceive.

  27. QUESTION:
    how soon can you get pregnant after the depo shot?
    How long will it take me to get pregnant after I have taken depo only 2 times? My last shot was in November. I stopped getting the shot because of the horrible side effects and decided to wait at least a month to detox it from my body and try an new non hormonal birth control. I am having pregnancy symptoms. Is it possible to have gotten pregnant in these last two months of not taking the shot.

    • ANSWER:
      Depo-Provera is designed to be a long-lasting form of birth control. It can take a while for your cycle to go back to normal. The reason Depo-Provera is so long lasting is because of the way it works. The levels of DMPA (the synthetic hormone in Depo-Provera) gradually increase over a three week period, at which time they reach their peak levels. After three weeks the DMPA levels begin to decrease exponentially. It may take as long as 200 days before DMPA is completely at of your bloodstream. It may take up to a year after discontinuing Depo-Provera before your menstrual cycles return to normal and it may take as long as two years to get pregnant after stopping Depo-Provera.

  28. QUESTION:
    How long did it take you to get pregnant after stoping the depo shot?
    I took me 5 years to get pregnant after the depo shot.I would go to the doctor and they would say it was something else . My period were always regular before the shot
    I only had one shot.
    I took 4 1/2 years to get regular
    I took 4 1/2 years to get regular
    It took 4 1/2 years to get regular
    It took 4 1/2 years to get regular

    • ANSWER:
      I was on the depo shot for 3 years and once i stopped taking it...It took me a year to get pregnant...

      Other disadvantages and risks of using Depo-Provera include:

      For pregnancy to occur, it takes an average of 10 months from the date of the last shot of Depo-Provera, but could take anywhere from 4 months to more than several years.

      Many women return to having regular periods approximately 6 months after quitting Depo-Provera; however, Depo-Provera can delay fertility for six months to one year after the shot has been discontinued. Some women become pregnant after a few months, other women take longer to return to a state of ovulation, which makes it difficult to predict how Depo-Provera will affect you. If you have any questions or concerns about the irregularity of your period, it is recommended that you talk to your clinician.

      good luck

    I just got on the depo shot about a week ago and the doctor said to wait about 3 weeks before having unprotected sex. well my boyfriend and i had an accident a few days ago. i am afraid that i may be pregnant. If i am in fact pregnant will the depo shot cause any health problems or birth deffects to my baby? please help

    • ANSWER:
      It possibly could happen that you get pregnant. I got pregnant while on the depo shot. It is kind of a wait and see now. Wait till your period is due and if it is late take a test. I also got pregnant on the pill, so I guess I was just really fertile. Good Luck.

  31. QUESTION:

  35. QUESTION:
    Can i still get pregnant after my depo shot?
    I had the depo shot back in febuary after a pregnancy, i had another shot 2 weeks later than i was supposed to and it was a lower dosage, I recently had a lot of sex unprotected and am feeling queasy, headaches, weak, tired, irritable, lower back pain and i cant sleep at night even if im tired.. could i be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      What you are experiencing could be side effects from the shot. Or you could be pregnant - it is always possible to get pregnant on birth control (there's a reason birth control isn't 100% effective). Heck, you can get pregnant if your tubes are tied.

      Talk to your doctor to get the real scoop.

      And! As a public service announcement, there's no reason why you should not be using condoms (even if you are allergic to latex, there are other options). Birth control may prevent pregnancy but it certainly doesn't do a darn thing to prevent STD's/STI's.

  36. QUESTION:
    Pregnant after depo provera shot?
    I had my last depo shot in October 2011, so I have been off of it for about 4 months. I was on it continuously for a year and 6 months after a miscarriage. I still haven't had a period yet since being off of it. BUT I have had sex. How likely is it that I could be pregnant now only 4 months after it? Is it possible to get pregnant after the shot and not have bled yet?

    • ANSWER:
      If you had your last shot in October it lasted for 13 weeks so technically your only off BC a matter of weeks.
      Ovulation after the Depo takes an average of between 6 and 12 months sometimes longer.
      Take a test if you want to but by rights it'll be negative.
      Sorry... but Depo is a nightmare, very best of luck.

    • ANSWER:

Depending on your health and lifestyle choices. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Try not to stress about getting pregnant,coz that wont help!

  39. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after the Depo Provera shot?
    I was on the shot for just over 2 years. I came off it last January (08). as me and my boyfriend decided we would like to have a baby. I have been having regular periods since last July. But still nothing :-( its really depressing now as i thought by now it should of gone out of my system. Is there anything i could take to speed things up atall?
    Anyone else having the same problems after this shot or have gotten pregnant after?
    Any info would be great
    Thanks =)

    • ANSWER:
      Hi hun,

      Depo is a nightmare isn't it! I was on it for almost 4 years and came off it in July 2008 for the same reason as you. My periods did not return until jan-feb 2009 but they are now regular again and i am ovulating again but no bfp so far :( :(

      Its so frustrating i know, especially when i had no idea that depo could do this to our bodies, the drs and nurses never told me of any side effects and as i was a lot younger when i went on it i was not even thinking about babies so didn't think to ask.

      Do you know if you are definately ovulating? Try using opk's and looking out for ewcm around day 14-15 of your cycle.

      It can apparantly take anything from straight away to two years for depo to leave the system completely. After 2 years your chances return to the same as a womans who has never had depo.

      I know how you feel hun and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, it shouldn't be much longer! keep positive x

    Getting pregnant after being on the depo shot?
    I have received 3 depo shots. I received the first one in February 2010 but didn't get the next one until July 2010 and the third in September 2010. I am due to get my shot again in December around christmas but I am not going to get it cause my husband and I have decided to try for another baby. I have been reading of it taking women months even over a year to get pregnant after taking the depo shot. I plan on waiting a few months to start trying to let my body adjust and hopefully get my period back. How long did it take you to get pregnant after the depo shot and how long were on the shot before stopping?

    • ANSWER:
      I was on it as a teen for 3 shots and although very spuratic at first within 3-4 months they were back to normal. I went on it again for 2 shots after my second child and it was a whole other story. I was due for my update in Oct.07 but didn't get it the next time i had any sign of a period it was a normal 4-5day period in Apr.08 so six months with no sign of anything then one normal one. Well I didn't have another one before I found out I was 4 week pregnant in late sept.08. So I had one period in 10 months and it took 10 months to get pg.

      P.S. I would suggest getting internet cheapie pg tests or go to Dollar Tree if you have them OR 99 Cents Only stores. Get your tests for around a dollar cause if you aren't having periods cause of the shots effects you have no base line to go by a missed period you will be testing more often and tests get expensive and cheap tests WORK too.

Getting Pregnant At 37

10 Possible Reasons Why You're Having Trouble Getting Pregnant and 10 Ways to Increase Your Chances
So you want to get pregnant? You may be wondering what's taking so long. "Why does it seem so difficult?" you may ask. "Why can't I seem to get pregnant?"

I had all these questions and more. I wanted to know how to get pregnant fast.

First, let's talk about the odds of getting pregnant in any given monthly cycle. One study cited a couple's chance of getting pregnant within the first month of trying at about 25%, while 60% will get pregnant within 6 months, 75% within 9 months, 80% within 1 year, and 90% of couples get pregnant within 18 months of trying.

Now let's talk about the factors that may be affecting your fertility and your partner's fertility. In other words, what's hindering your chances of getting pregnant fast?

Here are the 10 most likely causes of infertility issues followed by some conception tips to help increase your odds of getting pregnant faster.

1. Smoking. If you or your partner smoke cigarettes, this will greatly hinder your trying-to-conceive efforts. Women who smoke are 60% more likely than non-smokers to be infertile.
Medical research indicates that egg depletion and sperm damage caused by smoking is the cause for this decrease in fertility. Smoking is very bad for your health anyway, so this should give you a worthwhile incentive to quit for your own health and those around you. An unborn baby is at a high risk for many complications if the mother is a smoker. Also, if your partner smokes around you, you are affected by the second-hand smoke, which is very harmful as well. Remember that with over 2,000 different chemicals in tobacco smoke, not one of them is nutritious or enriching for you or your baby.

2. Illicit Drug Use or Alcohol Use. This may seem like a "no brainer" for most of us, but some women and men need to be reminded that illicit drug use is a no-no for those trying to conceive. Marijuana use specifically suppresses hormone production, which can cause decreased sperm count and possible erectile dysfunction in men and irregular periods in women. Alcohol in moderation may not significantly affect fertility, but if you want to definitely increase your chances of getting pregnant sooner rather than later, it's best to avoid alcohol completely (both the woman and the man).

3. Caffeine Intake. Caffeine is believed to reduce fertility. It also is believed to be risky during pregnancy with an increased risk of miscarriage with more than very mild use. Caffeine's effect on fertility and pregnancy is controversial - some believe it to be harmful in even small quantities and others believe it is fine with moderate use (up to three cups of coffee per day). But why take a chance, especially if you want to conceive quickly and avoid a potential miscarriage? Caffeine is in chocolate, coffee, tea, and most sodas. Even decaffeinated coffee and tea (black and green) has a small amount of caffeine, so be aware of this when drinking. If you truly want to get pregnant more quickly, you should give up caffeine altogether for a better chance of increasing fertility. If it's too hard and you have a caffeine addiction, then wean down gradually in order to make it easier on yourself.
4. Poor Diet. What you eat or don't eat is crucial to your overall well-being and
reproductive health. Getting pregnant is a complex process, one that requires many different body organs and glands to function properly to have proper hormonal balance and functioning. Most people don't get the recommended daily allowance of fruits and vegetables and water per day. This is very basic, but it's crucial to pay attention to in order to help increase your fertility and your chances of getting pregnant more quickly. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables (leaf lettuce, kale, collard greens, etc.), whole grains (oatmeal, whole grain breads, brown rice, etc.), raw nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, cashews, etc.), and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Organic is best, and fresh is better than canned or processed. (Note that Brazil nuts are especially good for sperm health).

5. Lack of Exercise. If you're sedentary, get moving. It will help you feel better, lose weight if needed, and will improve your fertility and chance of getting pregnant. Walking, swimming, biking, or aerobics are great forms of exercise. Do something that you enjoy, and it will be easier to keep up. Exercise at least 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes at a time.

6. Obesity or Being Overweight. If your BMI is greater than 25, you are considered overweight and are prone to health risks. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese. Avoid fad diets or skipping meals. It has been proven that starving yourself only makes things worse. Do eat, but eat smaller portions more often, and cut out the junk food. Start slowly if you need to,
but definitely start.

7. Stressful Lifestyle. If you have a stressful work environment, consider changing
jobs. Stress will not only affect your fertility, it will affect your overall health and place you at greater risk for heart disease and many other health problems. Also, do what you can to relax often (at least once a day). Practice deep breathing to help relieve stress. What I do is inhale as deeply as I can with my mouth closed. Then I exhale slowly through my mouth. This is an instant stress reliever for me. Try it and see what it does for you! Another stress reliever can be a leisurely walk, especially if it's something you enjoy and is in a beautiful environment. Go with your mate and use it to catch up on events of the day or just to dream of your future together. A warm bath can also be a great stress reliever, just don't make it too warm, especially for the males, as it could affect sperm quality and quantity.

8. Advanced Age. Advanced age is widely considered to be age 35 and older. Women who are 35 years old and older do have somewhat of a disadvantage when trying to conceive. It is said that a female is born with the total amount of eggs she will have her entire life. Thus, at age 35 and beyond, her eggs are considerably "older" than they were in her 20's, making it more difficult to conceive. That said, those of us who are older need to be even more diligent to be optimally healthy in order to increase our changes of getting pregnant faster. Men can be affected by age as well, especially as libido tends to decrease with age. I have found maca to be a wonderful libido enhancer and also fertility promoter. It is said to improve the quality of a woman's eggs as well. I believe it helped me to get pregnant at 39 and carry my beautiful, perfectly health baby boy to full term.

9. Poor Intercourse Timing. In order to conceive, a couple needs to have intercourse
near the woman's ovulation time - the closer the better. If a couple just has intercourse "whenever", their chances of getting pregnant are not as good. Especially for the older couples in their late 30's to 40's, timing is crucial to getting pregnant faster. To get the timing right, you need to determine your ovulation date.

I like to track my cycles by using a basal thermometer. This thermometer is different from the regular thermometer used to determine a fever. A basal thermometer is an ultra-sensitive thermometer that tracks your body's most minute temperature shift and helps you calculate
ovulation. Another means I like for determining ovulation date is an ovulation predictor kit (OPK) . There are two kinds - the urine strips and also the fertility monitors. The strips are like a pregnancy test stick, only they measure LH (or luteinizing hormone) instead of HCG (the pregnancy hormone). The fertility monitors use saliva to determine your most fertile period by showing a ferning pattern when you're most likely to conceive.

10. Physical Issues. There are many physical issues that can hinder your chances of
getting pregnant. Eating right, exercising, losing weight, and quitting bad habits can greatly help to heal many of these conditions. Sometimes medical intervention is necessary, though. These conditions can include irregular menstrual cycles, anovulation (lack of ovulation), PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), endometriosis, low sperm motility or mobility, low sperm count, or luteal phase defect, among others.

I suggest that you get some prenatal tests done for you and your partner. If you've been trying
to get pregnant for six months or more, especially if you're 35 or older, see a reproductive endocrinologist. He or she will help you to decide which testing is best for you and your partner. Semen analysis will most likely be helpful to determine sperm health. And the woman's symptoms will help to determine what tests are performed for her. Prenatal testing is very beneficial even if you want to get pregnant naturally. If you know what your condition is, you're more likely to be able to overcome it.

If this article has helped you, please consider sharing it with someone you know who would
benefit also.

Getting Pregnant At 35

Getting Pregnant at 35 - How to Boost Your Conception Chances Even at an Older Age
Getting pregnant at 35 is definitely possible. Yes, it can be hard, it can even be physically, emotionally and even financially exhausting but you can still get pregnant. The most important thing is that you decide to get pregnant at that age. Not 40 or 45. You decide to start working on it now, not later. Since you have already decided that you want to get pregnant, what you should do is to start right away. Give yourself and your partner proper time to just work on making a baby.

If both of you are professionals who are spending more than 8 hours at work, it is always best to take a break from it. At the age of 35, you have most probably saved a good amount of money already, enough to let yourselves go on vacation for a month or even two and to raise a child afterwards.
A stressful life can be a big issue when getting pregnant at 35. So if you and your partner have decided to break free from work for a while, then your odds of conceiving a baby will become higher. Just concentrate on doing that and eventually you will soon bear a child.

If going away from all the stress of your everyday life still is not enough, it would be best to ask help from the professionals. Get a general check up for both you and your husband. This way, if something is wrong in your reproductive system or health, it can be taken care of. Getting pregnant at 35 is definitely going to be easier if someone who has full knowledge can help.

If you want to naturally and safely conceive a baby within 4 weeks from now, I recommend you use the methods recommended in Lisa Olson's Pregnancy Miracle Book , to significantly increase your odds of quickly conceiving and giving birth to a healthy child.

Getting Pregnant At 39

Getting Pregnant at thirty-nine - Tips and hints for Convincing a baby at thirty-nine Years Old
Majority of females nearing the age of 40 are scared of the chances of difficult pregnancy and giving birth, infertility as well as miscarriage and other fearful situations or conditions. Should a woman aged 39 be afraid of not being able to get pregnant? What can a female do to increase her chances of getting pregnant at 39?

The first and most important aspect that a woman should look into is monitoring her overall health condition since she will be needing all the nutrition and health even before she gets pregnant. This is to prepare the body, making it ready and appropriate for a baby to develop inside the womb for 9 months.

Being overweight is natural for majority of women aged over 30. At this point, it is recommended to lose the excess weight and live an active lifestyle. Talking long walks daily or thrice a week or going to the gym, doing sports, yoga and engaging in other activities that can help you lose unwanted weight can increase your chances of getting pregnant at 39. You may also include a healthy diet which consists of beverages and foods that are low in salts, sugars and fats.
Another method to help a women increase the like hood of getting pregnant at 39 is to determine if her ovulation cycle is regular. Through this way, it will be easier for the couple to time their sexual intercourse. It is suggested to get an ovulation test kit that will provide you with a detailed information of your ovulation cycle and schedule and so that you may time your intercourse with accuracy.

Do you want to get pregnant within three weeks from now? If yes, then I suggest you use the methods recommended in this infertility treatment guide: The Pregnancy Miracle, to greatly increase your chances of conceiving and giving birth to a healthy kid.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    POSSIBLY PREGNANT AT 13!!! PLEASE HELP /:?
    Hello, my name is Kathy. I have recently had unprotected sex with a 16 year old guy. He sneaked into my room and what not. We've had unprotected sex 3 times already, and he's not even my boyfriend. He's my friends boyfriend Maivy. I know what I got myself into, and i feel like sh*t about it. Well anyways, I might be pregnant even though he used the pull-out-before-cumming method, due to that guys always pre-*** during sex and has no way of figuring out when. I'm not financially or mentally ready to have a child because I am one myself. So I'd like to abort, and I'm wondering if it's legal if a child under the age of 16 in FLORIDA , aborts without parental consent? Because I know if my parents find out, my teenage life would be ruined, and probably be sent to a private school. >.<

    • ANSWER:
      SERIOUSLY WTF HAS HAPPENED TO THE PARENTING IN THIS WORLD????? MY KIDS HAD BETTER KNOW THAT IF THEY WERE PULLING THAT S**T AT THAT AGE THAT I WOULD BLISTER THEIR A**. Seriously kid, you are right. You are too young for this. Your a KID, and that is why you would rather kill a living human being than have your teenage life ruined. How very sad that their are THOUSANDS of loving couples out there that would make excellent parents that cant have babies for one medical reason or another.. and then there are KIDS like you that are getting knocked up all over the place because you make so many STUPID decisions, and you all just go and get "rid" of your little "issues" in some random clinic. In and Out procedure right? No one has to know that you just committed murder. F KING sick.

  6. QUESTION:
    I am in an abusive relationship, and I really need some advice! :/?
    For the first couple of months, our relationship was pretty great, then that's when the verbal and emotional abuse came in. He isolated me from my friends (especially male friends) and sometimes even my family, and got mad of I spent some time with them instead of him. He is constantly calling me wondering where I am, who I'm with, and what I'm doing. He's always bringing me down about something, making me feel worthless, like a piece of shit. I am to blame for everything bad in his life. Everything. It's all my fault. Well, about 2 months ago, it started getting violent. He hits me, kicks me, slaps me, chokes me, throws things at me, and forces me to have sex with him. He doesnt allow me to get birth control and when I snuck off to get it one day, he put me in the hospital. I am now pregnant at the age of 15 because he does not allow me to use condoms, and I was being sexually assaulted. Please you guys, I need all the answers and support I could possibly get. Thanks!

    I'm 19 years old and my mom put me on birth control when I was 11 when I started being interested in boys... (where im from girls where getting pregnant at 12 and 13 years old) I didn't even have my first period yet but I have been on the shot off and on since then and only have had my period 5 times my whole life will this effect my chances on having kids in the future...

  8. QUESTION:
    What should I do? Telling the baby's daddy and negative Pregnancy tests!!?
    So I have been seeing this guy for awhile now. We are so good together. Our relationship is great, and the sex is amazing for both of us. He has always used protection, but after we are intimate he stays for several minutes before pulling out. I have not slept with anyone else but him in over a year...and surprise, I'm pregnant.(So I know its his...) I am freaking out because I don't know how to tell him. We are 13 years apart...I'm 25 and he's 38. I am hoping that he really loves me like he says he does, and not just because I'm 25 and interested in him...(and because our sex chemistry is amazing). How should I go about telling him??

    Also its so strange how this pregnancy came about, and I want to know if other mothers have had this: I felt like I was pregnant the first week I believe I conceived, and then I ended up being 18 days late for my period. Which wasn't really a period. Light brown/pink spotting and then 2 days of light flow (totally not normal for me). And I kept taking pregnancy tests and they kept coming up negative, same thing at the drs. And then I get sick and end up passing out in the bathroom shower before I get a blood test, which clarifies I AM PREGNANT and have been! 6 weeks along now...And I took a urine test again, and it says negative still? wth? So you can understand why I didn't even think I was pregnant at first...Anyone have that happen before?

    • ANSWER:
      Tell him that you need to talk and then tell him what the situation is. There's no point in beating around the bush because it's big news no matter how you dress it up so you may as well just come out and say it. Once you've told him then you can talk together about the situation rather than with random strangers on the internet. You never know, he might be delighted, in any case he'll soon get used to the idea.

      I hope it all works out well for you both, although having children changes everything it does so in a good way.

    Hi
    Just wondering what to do- I mean , apparently there's still a "slight" chance of falling pregnant at my age-not very likely... but Dr asked do i want to get another IUD?
    I just don't think it's worth it at my age- but otherwise , i guess my husband will have to use condoms- which is a bit of a nuisance..

    misdiagnosed and defibrillator implanted.can i sue?
    when i was 14 i was diagnosed with long qt syndrome.a heart defect.at 16 i had a defibrillator put in.i got pregnant at 19 and thats the only time it has ever went off(several times).im 24 now and recently went back to the doctor.the doctor told me that now he is not sure if i ever had it.my defibrillator needs to be replaced because its dead.now hes saying he wants to take it out.ive had this thing in my chest for 8 years.im not trying to be dramatic but in a way ive lived those 8 years fearful that the defibrillator would go off or id have a heart attack.(long qt is known for sudden young adult death)ive missed out on so much because of this and i really dont think its fair.im stuck with medical bills for what? a metal thing in my chest that doesnt work and i might not have ever needed it in the first place? im trying to make this short as possible.i dont want to sue for money.i just want my bills paid and as of 6 days ago i no longer have insurance so i dont know what to do.im mad because all these years ive had to be so careful in everything i did and live with the discomfort of this thing.i feel like its taken a part of my life that i cant get back.just knowing that theres a possibilty i was misdiagnosed and had an icd implanted just to be "safe" gets under my skin.theres gotta be something i can do about it.and when i do go back and he decides he wants to take it out then there will be that hole from where the icd has been all these years.he also told me that theyd have to leave the leads in because its dangerous to take it out.my ekg's look normal and everything.should i hire a lawyer about suing?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm just a wee bit confused. You had the defib in and it has gone off several times when you were pregnant. Many people are fearful of their defibrillator going off but do you understand that if it did not fire you might be dead right now. When your Dr questions whether or not you needed the device what is he basing that on? QT intervals change frequently. You would need to get a second opinion, I guess if you had a consultation with a lawyer he could guide you about what to do and arrange a consultation with another cardiologist.I can understand the fear you lived with, many patients express it. One man called it a gun. When a patient has a cardiac problem that can potentially cause them to go into a cardiac arrest they will put a defibrillator in. If you didn't have the defibrillator in you might not be alive right now. You need to have a consultation with a lawyer and take it from there. Take care, Donna

  11. QUESTION:
    Eczema Treatments? help!?
    I've had eczema since I was born, it was always manageable, when I hit puberty it got worse and my hands were only what I could describe as 'old ladys hands' they were so dry and sore.

    I fell pregnant at 16, and my eczema seemed to disappear, i was ecstatic, a year after giving birth it came back, worse than ever and I cant even seem to control it anymore, I've been using the same topical corticosteroid creams all of my life and they just dont work anymore, iv tryed emollients, bath oils, soap substitues, antihistamines to control itching and have had no luck.

    Iv been reading up on Ultra violet light therapy and I'm going to discuss it with my doctor, im 18 now and fed up of feeling embarassed of my body.

    Has anyone ever had the ultra violet light treatment with their eczema or know anyone that has, what were your experiences, how long did it take to go and has it made a difference?

    your answers will be appreciated

    I have also tryed homeopathic treatments and found I was allergic

    • ANSWER:
      Steroid creams stopped working for me after few years of use. I switch to natural treatment. SerenaSkin eczema herbal remedies are the most effective treatment i've tried. I used ointment and spray applications and took extract internally to prevent future flare-ups. It has been more than a year and my skin is still clear.

  13. QUESTION:
    Seriously - WHY is Tanya such a trashy name?
    My teenaged mom named me Tanya. I spent my childhood and adolescence dealing with boys assuming I was easy, girls wondering if I was a slut, and teachers being VERY surprised that I actually was a "good" girl and studied hard. Seriously - Tanya is a trashy name. Not as bad as some of those others... Brandi, Crystal, Misty, Destiny, Chastity (ironic) - and names with punctuation or "cute" spelling. And naming kids after characters in TV or movies?!?! WHY?!?! I ran smack into the reputation my name had over and over and over.

    I count it a MIRACLE that I didn't get pregnant at 14! When people meet you, they treat you according to the first impression. And your name is a big part of that first impression.

    Why? Why does it seem like low class or teenaged or uneducated mothers give their girls trashy names? Don't they know that names are important? Don't they know that some names just scream "trash" to people? Don't they know they make life harder for their kids? I asked my mom why she named me Tanya and she said she thought it was pretty. She never THOUGHT about it... about what kinds of people name their girls Tanya.

    On my 18th birthday, I went before a judge and changed my name. It's the best thing I ever did for myself. I love my mom and she was great about it when I changed my name. She worked hard to raise us with no father and no education. But I sure wish she had put some thought into naming me.

    Why do you suppose some people give their girls trashy names? And why are Tanya and some other names so trashy? How does this get started? You never see educated parents give their girls these awful names.

    This is really interesting to me. Ideas?
    Thanks for all the answers. Maybe it's geography - maybe it's just where I live. No, I'm not insulting my mother. I did not call her low class or trashy - you didn't read my post very carefully if you think I did.

    I DID say she was uneducated. That is not an insult - that is a fact. She dropped out of school - that's uneducated.

    I love my mother and have a great relationship with her. I'm very proud of her - she worked SO hard to take care of us and she made sure we were educated. She was very open in telling us to not take the path she took. I think she is amazing.

    We've talked about the name. She herself has noticed that Tanya tends to be a name more commonly given in the lower classes. She worked hard, earned her GED, and went to college.

    I'm not a troll - I really am curious about this. Mom says she chose the name because another teen in her school had a baby and named her Tanya.

    In my experience, it's an awful name. I asked because I was curious about the thoughts of others.

    • ANSWER:
      Tanya, Brandi, Misty and Chastity are names that are mentioned in old western films for the women that run and work in whore houses that were ever so popular back then. Thats where I first heard those names and when I said something about naming my daughter Misty to my mom she said (exact words) "Oh my goodness no! Don't you know thats the name of most whores in westerns?"

      I'm guessing thats why everyone else assumes that those are "bad" "horrible" names for a child and they pick on people with those names.

      Honestly, I find the name Tanya and Misty to be absolutely beautiful names. A bit overused now-a-days, but I still like them. If I had a child that fit the name Tanya I would still name her that. Not because I think that my child will end up being a whore but because I see Tanya being a lovely bright child with long brown hair loving life and all it has to offer. Same with Misty, but Misty would be red head.

  14. QUESTION:
    Is it right for my husband to look at porn while I'm pregnant?
    I'm 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and just getting over feeling sick all the time. During about 2 weeks I didn't feel like having sex because I felt sick and so we didn't have it for about 4 days at a time. During that time though he looked at porn sites and would delete the history on his computer an use his work phone. It really hurt me because I felt like I wasn't enough for him. Even though I did t give it to him everyday like I used to I still thought I was supposed to be enough. I mean, I wanted him to be patient with me but thats not being patient. Even though I didn't want to give it to him everyday I thought he would respect me enough to wait. Is it weong for him to do that while I'm pregnant and feeling sick and hormonal? Or am I just being over dramatic and conscious?

  16. QUESTION:
    My "girl" is possibly pregnant with ex's child?
    I am currently 15. I recently started talking a girl in my English class. She broke up with her boyfriend 5 weeks ago. I started talking to her about 3 weeks ago. After going on a date and chilling with her a couple times I started to like her. I wanted to wait a while to make sure she likes me. Her friends were getting pissed at me for not asking her out so I eventually did. I, feeling unsure, un asked her out and told her I wanted to wait a little later. Now I am hearing that her ex boyfriend had unprotected sex with her right before they broke up. I asked her about it and she denied being pregnant. She claimed to be on her period. I can't figure out what to do, should I completely end things with her before she admits to being pregnant ( if at all) ? Or should I just not risk anything and end things with her? I have made up my mind that if she is, than to completely end things with her. My fears is me being a suspect father, and it'd just be embarrassing if she was and I was with her! Please help, thanks!

    I'm not sure if could i be pregnant?
    I'm 23 and got married 6 months ago. Me and my partner decided to START to try for a baby, just by being 'less careful' so we didnt get stressed about it, and if we got pregnant we got pregnant (i should add that i have P.C.O.S so the chances of me getting pregnant are reduced!). We have only had unprotected sex about 3 times though and now NO PERIOD! Every month I can tell you the exact day I'm going to start my period, even though they aren't regular, because of my 'signs' a week before ill become bloated, 3 days before ill get period pains then on the 3rd day i always have my period...well ive had my period pains but they weren't 'normal' as they were on and off for a few days and different to usual. Over the past week or so the slightest thing can make me want to barf and i'm not eating everything in sight as food makes me feel nauseaus (I usually eat everything in sight the week before my period!). I know people who are trying to get pregnant look at every little thing and think they are pregnant but i really don't see how this could be the case...and im panicking a bit because if i am its all happened so fast! Ive not took a test yet as im convinced im not pregnant but would just like a bit of advice really! Thanks in advance!

  18. QUESTION:
    What's the best reasonable weight I should reach before getting pregnant?
    I am currently 154 pounds and I am 5'4. I would like to be at least 150 pounds before getting pregnant. I'm 35 years old. I have a 4.5 year old beautiful girl. My dietitian is rather draconic and says that I "shouldn't" get pregnant until I reach BMI 22 (she is crazy). If I become 146 pounds, thats BMI 25, and that suffices for me! I am an advocate of very slow weight loss (2 lbs/month). That's how I lost weight all my life, but this dietitian "wants" me to lose weight "fast" to get pregnant "fast". I don't know who set her as my life police, but she was really demeaning about my slow progress I absolutely loathed her for it. She is very demeaning about my age/pregnancy topic as well. What the ...! It's not like I'm even past my 40's. I am more concerned about getting pregnant "right after" I have been on a diet for a while, because I don't want to have any nutrients deficient in my body. I think there should be at least one month break between stopping dieting and trying for baby. I'm going to start prenatal vitamins now, though I'm thinking of trying in 6 months or so. Does this sound reasonable? (and why can dietitians be so draconic! My goodness). Thanks.
    First pregnancy I was 30 on delivery, and 137 pounds pre-pregnancy, and a whole lot after that (don't want to remember how much). I lost 20 pounds the first year after delivery (so much of it was water and more water), and I got stuck with the last 10-15 pounds that I should ideally lose to reach ideal weight. I hope this helps.

  19. QUESTION:
    I'm pregnant...with my brother's baby?
    It's soo weird I can't get over it....and no, we were not raised together.
    When I was born, my parents got into a HUGE fight over what to name me-my mother's choice finally, legally, went through and my father was angry-very angry. It was two years that drove him to the point that my father hit my mother and raped her (she got pregnant again by that.) While my father was at work, my mother took me away and we moved to Key West, Florida, over one thousand miles away from our family home in Connecticut. My brother was five at the time and I was three when we left and were completely seperate from my father and my brother-my mother used to stay awake, crying at night that she wasn't able to save my brother but she was able to raise me and my sister on our own. When I turned 18, I moved out of Key West and started attending college at UCLA Berkley, in California. When I was there I met this guy who was a junior (I was a freshman) and we fell in love. Eventually in my sophomore year we bought an apartment together in Berkley and when he graduated, he got a job in San Francisco. He started unraveling the story of his life to me-he was raised alone by his father, he remembered a mother and a sister but had guessed that they had left him. I didn't really think anything of it. I didn't tell my mother about him-she always feared men because of my father. We lived happily together in Berkley, and when I graduated we moved to Riverside, California. I still visited my mother but I told my boyfriend what had happened, about my abusive mother and brother in Connecticut (he said that he was from Rhode Island,) and that she feared men terribly. Soon after I found out that I was pregnant-and I decided to reveal the secret to my mother. We flew down to Key West when I was five months pregnant with a girl and surprised her-and the second I showed up at her door she opened the door and touched my boyfriend's face, whispering his name. I was freaked out-how did she know his name? She summoned us into the house and asked how we met-how I had found my brother. And that's when we found out-after me, my mother, and my sister had left Connecticut, my father had moved with my brother to Massachusetts and changed his last name to avoid the authorities. He was abusive his whole life and my brother had made sure to leave Massachusetts and go to school as far away from him as possible. We went to a doctor and got our blood tested just to make sure and he told us that we were full siblings. I'm devastated now, I'm almost seven months pregnant now. Is my son going to have problems because I was impregnated by my full brother? We don't have any traces of inherited diseases in our genes. I still plan on marrying him, we have different legal last names, is this possible? Please help me! My mother wants us to seperate and for me to get an abortion, but I'm not going to, I want to have the baby and start a regular family with my brother! Please help.....I think I'm going to get a therapist or something.
    I'm trying to ask a question right now and none of you are giving me support! Please help me! I am depressed and I wasn't even thinking when I wrote this....I am having a girl not a boy I should have written daughter. Please help me! :(

    • ANSWER:
      You didn't know it was your brother and you can't help who you fall in love with either so just ignore all the nasty comments and i think it's illegal to marry your brother too but im not sure. I think there is a chance of the baby having problems but im not sure and I understand both you and your mothers point of view too I think you,your mum and your boyfriend should talk things through properly so you make the right choice i hope everything works out for you.

  20. QUESTION:
    My bf calls me fat and other stupid names. I am also pregnant and really don't know how to make him stop.?
    Okay, I have gained about 30lbs since I got with my bf. I am a size 11 5ft 5 in and now weigh 175lbs I am overweight but I’m not like SUPER fat. Like Bridget Jones I suppose…. I am also 5.5 months pregnant (reason for some of the weight gain. I had started jogging and went down to 160 but got pregnant and too tired to do much of anything so the weight just slammed itself back on (and the lack of exercise probably had a bit to do with that too)…

    Anyways, the reason I started jogging was b/c my bf recently started calling me names like fatbutt (only replace butt with a$$) when I eat something. My breathing is now a bit shallow like an overweight persons but b/c of the pregnancy and he’ll say ‘is ur fatbutt having trouble breathing or what?’

    And then I am kinda slow at getting out of the car now and he said ‘what do I need to rub Crisco on you to get you out of the car’

    I never had a problem with my weight and there were guys who did like me but I went out with him and at the beginning he NEVER said anything about my weight. But when I look around I notice I may be an 11 but I have wide hips and I don’t look like a ball of fat but now I look in the mirror and just feel disgusted by what I see.

    He says hes joking and I ask him to stop cuz for one I already feel like a whale being 5 months pregnant. We’ll just be laying down watching TV and he’ll cough ‘fat ass” like a stupid teenager and it sucks to hear it OVER and OVER again. And he also slaps me on the cheek playing around when we are together that sucks too… then when I get mad after he does it over and over and over I hit him back and then he’ll like kinda punch me on my cheek or leg or arm and it really sucks. He used to be physically abusive but that’s stopped since I got pregnant.

    And he is WAY fatter than me! Like borderline obese! I mean I’m Bridget Jones chubby, he’s Cedric the Entertainer FAT. And I don’t call him FAT I even tell him I want him to lose weight b/c of health reasons. Then when I try to lose weight he tells me not to b/c he likes me the way I am (yet he ‘playfully’ calls me names?) . All of his previous gfs were SKINNY and so was he at the time… Then he’ll ‘playfully’ call me names calling me ugly (w/o actually saying ugly, childish stuff). So now I just stopped wearing make-up or doing my hair. Basically I kinda do feel ugly and fat so I just stopped caring. We still have sex sometimes now but I want the lights off and I just think about other things sometimes. He even says my nipples are ugly and gross now b/c of pregnancy. I have always had a large pink areola but I have D cup breasts so it looked nice. Now they are bigger and a dark pink and I am leaking colstrum. My breasts have always been my most sensitive 'turnon' location and now he is just repusled by them.

    Sometimes I really want to leave him and I think of all the really GOOD guys (almost done with college, steady paychecks, responsible) I’ve turned down and stayed with a guy who works with FAST FOOD and is already in his 20’s. But he is CRAZY when he gets mad so I don’t want to have my parents go through drama or cops. My plan was to transfer colleges and not tell him about it and just disappear. But I’m pregnant and I just get sick of being called names…
    Oh yea...and he is PYSCHO. Thats why I haven't left him he will cause so MUCH drama. I just keep telling myself to either put up with it till I finish college or just transfer. I live with the parental units b/c I am in the RN program which is literally a full time job. I know in a year I will be able fo FULLY spport my baby any myself. Im just too ashamed to let my family know about how I want out of a crappy relationship

    • ANSWER:
      Ok Im assuming this is his baby so you really don't want to just disappear but you do need to get away from him. You said he was physically abusive before and now he stopped b/c your pregnant but he really hasn't stopped, he's mentally abusive now!

      Im in the same boat as you. Im 5 1/2 months pregnant too and married but my husband does NOT do that to me. If he says anything, its something small and he will laugh and say jk! But he loves that Im pregnant. (and yes my nipples have just gotten HUGE! and they leak too.) You should not stop caring about your appearance b/c this is a wonderful time in your life and believe it or not. A LOT of mean think pregnant women are SEXY!! I should know b/c my husbands one of them lol.

      If you live with him, you need to move out. Stay with your parents or some friends but you really need to get away from him. If you dont live with him then you need to stop seeing him. Tell him your sick of the way he treats you and your not putting up with it anymore. I hope he's not the type to go crazy and come after you!

      So that being said here is my email. kmelhorn89@yahoo.com Email me if you need to talk to someone. Im really concerned for you. You have enough stress as it is being pregnant!

  22. QUESTION:
    How to get my sister back?
    My sister got pregnant at like 15, which was two years before my mom passed away, now we have a step-mom and neither of us like her because of her childish and rude behavior. My sister finally got tired of it all so as soon as she turned 18 she moved out with her baby. My step-mom helped her raise the baby and supported her through it and my sister is grateful for the help, she just wishes that my stepmom would have backed off once my sister had things under control instead of acting like she was the mom and not my sister. My sister has made some pretty bad choices and i understand she can be a pretty bad influence, but i miss her and havent seen her in about 5 years because of all the drama. I mean sure when she USED to drop her kid off at our house for my dad and stepmom to watch him i would see her, but after my mom died we didnt have the same bond that we used to. I miss her and my dad wont let me see her because he thinks shes bad for me to be around, when the truth is, is she's the only one i can talk to that dosent judge me and she understands what i go through when my steepmom blows up on me for no reason. So how am i supposed to see my sister? ive already confronted my dad and litterally broke down in tears because i couldnt take anymore alone-ness.

    fainting constantly when 17 weeks pregnant?
    Hi all, yesterday i couldn't stand for more than a few Min's at most before i lost my vision and had to sit down before i fainted. i told my midwife who couldn't get to me at the time, and was concerned about the baby.
    should i go to hospital to check out the condition of the baby? if i get a huge drop in blood pressure, what worries me is will the baby be getting enough blood. my midwife is now away on holiday, hence why she couldn't get to me. if i go to the hospital, will they be able to tell if it affects the baby? i still feel weak today, and am not standing much, and am walking short distances, but i cant continue like this as im a busy person since i got pregnant. i read somewhere that fainting during the first trimester is normal, but now im in the second trimester, and this is really worrying me. any advice would be great! thanks :)

  25. QUESTION:
    How much worse is getting pregnant at 14 yrs old than 17 or 18?
    How much worse is getting pregnant at 14 yrs old than 17 or 18. And 18 being assumed you're outta high school or a couple months close to graduation?
    I was just wondering cuz I've heard stories about girls getting pregnant at 14, and right now my 17 year old girlfriend is prego & probably would have the baby a couple months before graduation. But people seem to look at teenage pregnancy the same so I was wondering if getting pregnant at 14 would be as bad as having one at 17 or 18

    • ANSWER:
      I have two stories here...

      My best friend got pregnant at just 14, she was forced to give her baby up because if she had the baby at 14 then she would have to drop out of school, you cannot work until your 16 so you would have to rely on your family on diapers, clothes and formula and that kind of stuff plus most fathers just run without looking back when you get pregnant that young.

      I got pregnant just after i finished high school, i kept the baby because me and my now fiance both had jobs, my parents had a flat all ready for us to move in and all the bills payed and me and my fiance had a good and steady relationship, I did not rely on my parents or my fiances parents for diapers, clothes and formula, me and my fiance brought all of that our self, right now i am doing online collage classes because i have a one year old at home all day with me and i am expecting again, my fiance goes to the local collage studying to be a lawyer.

      Getting pregnant at like 17 or 18 i would say is so much more better, at 14 your still a young child, you have your whole future way ahead of you, its much different when your 17 or 18, you have a job and you can actually provide for your child without relying on other people to buy you stuff for the baby.

  26. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant at 14?
    My boyfriend wants me to have sex with him I said I didnt want to at first but then I changed my mind and said yes. My friend doesn't want me to but she said if I am going to the chances of getting pregnant at 14 arn't very high. I know it's not very sensible but I feel like I'm ready and really in love with him he makes me feel really special. So basically the question is are the chances of getting pregnant at 14 high or not???

    • ANSWER:
      First off, you should not be even having sex at 14 but if you feel you need to be sure to use a condom, besides pregnancy (which your friend is incorrect, you can get pregnant at your age) you need to worry about the fact that unprotected sex can make you very sick and even kill you.

  27. QUESTION:
    How does getting pregnant at certain times work?
    From a lot of what I have read there is a 20% chance trying couples will get pregnant. You need to be obvulating and sperm can live up to a few days in a women. So there is like a three day window? What I don't understand is how women can get pregnant on their period or at random times other than those few days. Can they or do they just obvulate at weird times?

    • ANSWER:
      Not every woman ovulates 14 days after her first day of period. I for example ovulate 11 days after (I have shorter 25 day cycle)
      Also sperm can live for up to 5 days inside a woman, so if she has sex last day of her period, but ovulates earlier than most women, she can get pregnant. A lot of women don't actually know the exact date of ovulation (unless she takes temp, and charts it, most woman TTC do this) Most drs will default to roughly 14 days after the womans period started though and sometimes an ultrasound will change the date if she did in fact ovulate earlier or later.

  28. QUESTION:
    Why do people call teens sluts and look down at them for getting pregnant?
    But yet, they don't look down at teens having sex? Isn't any teen that has sex before marriage just as bad? Just because you result in a child, doesn't mean that you did anything "worse" than a girl that did the same thing you did but used protection. PLUS sometimes someone using protection still results in getting pregnant. Any teen that is having sex is equivalent to a teen that got pregnant! Having a baby is just as mature as having sexual intimacy.

    It gets me mad.

    • ANSWER:
      I think its because the teen who is pregnant isn't just ruining her own life now, she is effecting her baby's life.

      When people hurt a teen its one thing, they can think and act for themselves. When you hurt an innocent baby, thats another matter.

      Not ALL teens who have sex are irresponsible anyway. I got married at 16 (no me and my husband were not pregnant I just knew he was the right one)

      Plus when a teen gets pregnant you can expect the 'A' word to come up, and that always gets people pissed off.

      Teens are going to do what they want though, its just BETTER if they protect form pregnancy.

      In the 1800's, when you were a teen was the age where you had your baby's...

      Its a society thing more than anything. It just all depends on responsibility.

  29. QUESTION:
    at what age do girls start worrying about getting pregnant?
    like looking at their tummies in the mirror, is this some innate type of behavior that they can't help, like do they look forward to getting pregnant, it just seems like all these questions "AM I PREGNANT?!" and then description of them messing around with boyfriends make it seem like, they are dying to get pregnant

    no disrespect I think creation is beautiful but am I wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      I think that no one should have to 'worry' about being pregnant. If you don't want to be pregnant use birth control, if you do go for the gusto. Plain and simple!!!

  33. QUESTION:
    My boyfriend has gotten me pregnant and now is disconnecting from me.?
    I would like to know why. He is claiming that I am not being healthy for the baby...but he isn't even around to see what I am doing. He says that he wants to have it and be together but when we are together, he doesn't seem like he really wants to be there with me. He is constantly talking about his friends, almost like he would rather be there with them. He usually is and Im not invited...because he is "recording" his music. Thing is tho...he is "recording" his music over at my old best friends house (i've known her for 10 years) and he actually used to be majorly smitten over her. she now lives with this guy (he used to be her boyfriend but now they are just in a band together...) that is the one that is recording my bfriends music but...after last night, i think that there maybe more going on.
    my bfriend and i haven't had sex in almost 2 weeks now. he's never affectionate with me anymore, even when i tell him that is what i need. I need love and support and he says he's there for support but he's NOT! he's always over at her house..."recording." Sometimes for 12 hours at a time and I know that is not what he is doing all of the time. But he would rather be there than anywhere with me.
    I don't know what to do because i'm hopelessly in love with him, but i think that now that the affection is gone...i think everything is gone now. I'm not sure if he is "hooking up" with anyone else..but knowing his libido, it seems as though he would have to be...but i doubt it because everyone knows that i am pregnant and he would look really bad if he was doing that.
    i just think there maybe some sparks with my friend and him again...she doesn't seem to care if i am pregnant and her hitting on him but then he is best friends with her boyfriend (on again-off again/roommate.) so i just don't know.
    but all i want is for him to give me love and support and i would be stronger and confident to be pregnant and stuff. but he hasn't given me anything..instead i'm crying all of the time and he just ignores me.
    i spent the night at his house last night with all of my clothes on and not even sleeping close to him. i had to get up at 6:30 to leave because i was sad, for no other reason...but his lack of affection is just killing me. thing is...he knows this too. i tell him! and his eyes were open and he didn't say anything. he let me leave. it's 1pm now and by now he would normally be texting me saying where are you or what are you doing? but nothing.
    i think he has moved on from me, that's what i am thinking and he kind of said that in so many words last night. but when he said that, i said...well...than why don't we break up? i don't get it. and he says that he doesn't want to do that and he gets mad. but when we get into bed at night...there is absolutely NOTHING...no love, nothing. its weird! i don't get it.

  34. QUESTION:
    At what age does a woman's chances of getting pregnant begin to decline?
    i'm not planning on getting pregnant any time soon because i'm only 17. but i'm curious when it is more difficult to get pregnant.
    any other details are greatly appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      IT begins to decline at 25, but it is a very very slow decline. At age 30 the decline gets a bit faster, then at 35 it is a very steep decline. At 40 the decline is even steeper, but only 1 in 4 women can get pregnant at 40 without medical intervention. By 45 it is almost impossible for any woman to get pregnant without medical intervention.

      As a woman's chance of getting pregnant declines, her chances of having a baby with a severe permanent impairment like Down's syndrome increases. For a 25 year old woman Down's syndrome only occurs in about 1 in 2500 cases, but by age 40 is it 1 in 100. Different studies give different numbers, but the trend is very clear. Because more older women are tested for it though and they are more likely to abort Down's syndrome babies (99% of babies that test positive for Down's syndrome are aborted), and because less older women have babies, Down's syndrome babies overall are actually more likely to be born to younger women.

  36. QUESTION:
    Why are young girls getting pregnant at such an early age?
    I hope I don't sound judgemental when I ask, in this day and age, why are young girls, as young as 14 and 15, getting pregnant?
    Do they not have anything else to do?
    In my day, children weren't allowed to even date until 16 or so.
    Is it all that crap on TV? All those movies that are far beyond a child's understanding?
    Do kids think it's 'cool' these days to be 'active' instead of playing on the basketball team or track team?
    Why do you think there are so many teenage pregnancies?

    What are my chances of getting pregnant at the age of 54 with sporatic periods?
    I'm still having sporatic periods..and I'm worried about getting pregnant. What are the chances.

    • ANSWER:
      Your chances are still pretty good, but the chances of maintaining the pregnancy are small. Most women lack sufficient hormone by 50 to keep the pregnancy going. However, my Mom kept her IUD in until she went a year without periods. Miscarriages are much harder on older women.

      My grandmother was a rarity as she had my uncle at 52.

  38. QUESTION:
    What is the point of getting pregnant at a young age?
    At the age of 15, no one can say they have found true love. What they feel is "lust" (aka. drooling over the "hotness" of their bf/gf), not love. These relationships almost never last, so I really don't see why people end up pregnant at around that age (15/16) while still in high school! Someone enlighten me as to why this is a good idea?

    • ANSWER:
      well..its not a good idea..i know some body that got pregnant at 14 (had baby at 15)on purpose because she wanted a baby basically to treat like a baby doll..and the first couple weeks she did parade her around like a doll..decked her out in full outfits..parents divorced tried to help her then she decided..she didnt want to get up at night with the baby..and waited to run and go and do this and that...and guess what she dont have her baby no more..the baby daddys mama does..and she is 16 nowand sees the baby on scheduled visits..her dad and stepmom wanted to adopt the baby but she was so jealous of her own child being spoiled and was thinking that her dad loved the baby more than her.now the poor baby is sick all the time..is 10 months and weighs 32lbs..overweight..doesnt have a room of her own.and left alone to play in the kitchen while her dad plays video games..i know because the baby is my grand daughter and the babys mama is my step daughter..i know people are probably saying its our fault but my step daughters mother has custody of her and is unstable herselfwe tried behavioral centers,counselors nothing works...we tried to give the baby a good home but apparently it was too good.We raised her for the first 3 months of her life and the hardest thing i had to do was give her up. sooooo no no no its not a good idea..the baby is always the one who suffers..and whoever takes care of the baby that aint the mother

    I'm 19 and almost positive I'm pregnant, how do I get on maternity leave with a student job?
    I'm almost 100% sure I'm pregnant. So we'll skip that part. The only thing I have to do is wait 2 weeks and take my test. Anyway, I work about 35 hours a week, but I've only been working at the same place for 4 months... When do people go on maternity leave, and will I keep my job if I have to take a maternity leave? I work great my bosses love me, they're always complimenting me and complimenting me to my boss so I'm not worried about getting fired. But I am because they may need someone to replace me. My boyfriend has no job, he's in adult ed doing pre-requesite courses. So my job is super important. Another thing is, I can't keep it a secret until my 6 months of working there because I can't work at all if I'm pregnant since I have to lift so much stuff where I work, like cases of milk and cases of food, all the time. It's very physical. I live in Quebec, Canada if my povince matters any

    • ANSWER:
      What do you mean when you say "student job?"

      If this is a training-type job that's part of your education (apprenticeship, residency, etc.) then you are not covered under labor laws. If you mean this is your job while going to school and you are classified as part-time, you are probably not entitled to any benefits, including having your job back after a maternity leave.

      I can't help without knowing more details.

  43. QUESTION:
    Am I a loser or a failure at life, single & pregnant?
    I'm 31 years old. I live in Los Angeles. I went to college and got my bachelors degree in electrical engineering and then my masters in systems engineering. About a year after graduating, I worked for a company for about 1 year. I was engaged at the time and decided to follow my fiance to his home state & look for work there. I since decided I want to change careers. I no longer find engineering interesting. But I feel bad because my parents paid sooo much $ for my education.

    Anyway, this time last year I was engaged, living with my fiance & planning my wedding. Our wedding was to be in June 2011, about 2 weeks before our wedding my fiance dumped me. He called off our wedding & engagement & said he wanted nothing to do with me. So broken hearted, devestated & shocked I moved back home with my parents in California. I began going out alot with my friends and ended up having a one night stand. About a month afterwards I found out I was pregnant. The father and I don't know each other at all and he said he wants nothing to do with me or the baby but will pay child support and that's all.When my parents found out about my situation, they felt bad for me. My dad hired me on as an assistant in his company so I would have a job and be able to get health insurance. So now I am single, alone, heartbroken and still living with my parents. I never thought I would be single at my age & pregnant from someone I didn't know. My whole life feels like its spiraling out of control. By the way, until my recent break up, I have always been very responsible about birth control. I was on birth control at the time but had missed a few days of taking my pill and thought I would be ok. My due date is April 17th. Anyone have any good advice?
    Ryde on, that's really mean :( I made a mistake one time. I don't consider myself a whore :( guess you do though.

    • ANSWER:
      Ryde On's comments illustrate why it's not a good idea to seek validation from strangers on the internet.

      Quite honestly, you're not the first person in your situation and you won't be the last. We all have setbacks in life. For some it's losing a job, for others it's unexpected pregnancy and for others it's divorce. Your experiences during the past year are not the only things that define you, so they do not determine whether you are a failure or not. How you approach things though, does. Remember, without setbacks and failures, your successes would be less meaningful.

  44. QUESTION:
    What makes teens think getting pregnant will solve their situation at home?
    I've seen and read so many posts about young teens trying to get pregnant because they don't want their parents to be able to parent them, and they think they'll be free. I just can't see any logic in this thinking? How can they think this makes real sense?

    • ANSWER:
      Because they know they can focus all their attention on their baby rather then difficult situations at home. lt's the attention they want, not situation solving.

      Hopefully, if they realize they're thinking this, they need to talk to someone immediately and discuss their feelings, because a baby makes it a whole lot worse, not better.

      lt is silly, but they need to learn. Hopefully, they just will when they see other teenagers doing it and realize they have everything to live for.

      Hope this helps! (:

Getting Pregnant At 38

Chances of Getting Pregnant at 38
Many believes that the chances of getting pregnant at 38 can be more difficult than at the age of 28, but it's not always impossible. What exactly are your chances of becoming pregnant after the age of 38? Frankly, The likelihood of getting pregnant or having a baby depends on a lot of things, including the length of time you have been trying, regardless of whether you have been pregnant before, and what is causing your infertility. Doctors believe, a woman's age is very important. According to them the chance of getting pregnant is lower whenever a woman is older than 35 years.

Why is it more difficult than in your 20s and early 30s age, and why do doctors recommend seeking help getting pregnant sooner than later when you past the age of 35 years? Should you follow the news, you might have seen the myriad of features focusing on women waiting until after age 35 to have children and having trouble getting pregnant.
However, not everyone has trouble getting pregnant after the age of 35. You might know of families who got pregnant quickly in their late 30s, or even early 40s. Nevertheless, statistically speaking, your chances of getting pregnant after the age 35 are lower. Fertility peaks in many women in their 20s, and gradually starts to decline in the late 20s.

At around age 35, fertility starts to decline at a much more fast pace. For example, your chances of getting pregnant at age 30 are about 20%. At age 40, your likelihood of getting pregnant is just 5% regardless of whether we like it or not, fertility in women starts to slowly decline in the late 20s and beginning an even more rapid decline around age 35.

Besides the decreased chance of conceiving a child, experts believes that women after the age of 35 have an increased risk of miscarriage. Even with these grim statistics, not everyone will have trouble getting pregnant after 35. Many have naturally conceived and are proud Mothers at the age of above 40 and they the best part they do it naturally.

However, if you are having difficulties, and you're over the age of 35, you shouldn't try on your own for more than 6 months. The sooner you get help, the better your chances of success.

Getting Pregnant After A Miscarriage

Getting Pregnant After a Miscarriage - How to Increase Your Chances of Conceiving After Having a Miscarriage
Having a miscarriage can be really difficult for a couple, especially for the mother. Merely thinking that she lost her baby can lead to depression. The coping capability of couples varies. Some couples move on and proceed to conceiving a child again while some find it difficult to just forget about losing a child. Getting pregnant after a miscarriage should be discussed by the couple and they should ensure that things are all right before trying to conceive again. If not, this may affect both of them emotionally.

Pregnancy loss is very hard to deal with but parents should not let this event eat up the whole of them because when this happens, their relationship may be affected. Instead, they should continually support each other. If in case the parents decide that they are ready to conceive again, they should consult the doctor so that they can know whether the woman is physically ready for getting pregnant after a miscarriage. This should be done especially when the woman has encountered several miscarriages. Determining the root cause of the problem may help the couple and improve the chance of survival of their next child.
There are several causes of miscarriages and one of them is the inability of the chromosomes to develop in the womb. Another cause is a deficiency in the hormone progesterone. Getting pregnant after a miscarriage should be done with proper prenatal care. Additionally, the woman should keep her body healthy by eating nutritious foods and doing physical activities.

For women, their menstrual cycle can be divided into three: the Kappa, the Vata, and the Pitta. Disturbances in these phases can affect the fertility of the woman. To cure this, Ayurvedic medicine for infertility suggests that fresh herbs should be taken. This is also the treatment for male infertility. The treatment aims to remove the interferences that affect fertility.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Any advice on getting pregnant after miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage and d&c about 6 months ago, and have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant ever since. I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I took birth control pills for 4 years before I started trying, could I maybe have a hormonal imbalance? Please tell me what you think and advice for ttc is welcome!

    • ANSWER:
      Ok so ya I know I'm a guy, but I'm just responding to this because of how similar it is to me and my wife's story. Have you looked into seeing an endocrinologist yet? My wife's egg quality isn't all that great after about the same amount of time. We're trying hormone treatment right now and it seems to be helping. They can look at your egg and let you know whether or not it's a good time to try.
      Hope that helps. I never thought I'd respond to a question in here. lol

We already have one child together and I have only had one miscarriage.

    • ANSWER:
      I am so sorry about your miscarriage. We have very similar things going on. I miscarried 12-29-09. I was almost 5 weeks. I ovulated on 1-17-10. I am praying that we get pregnant again. I read different things, but I hear that getting pregnant right after is a great possibility. I wish you all the best.

  7. QUESTION:
    How much higher are my chances of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage on May 8th, stopped bleeding/period on May 14th or 15th. I haven't started using birth control yet so my husband and I have been using condoms as means of contraception.

    • ANSWER:
      very high but its always better to wait a couple of cycles to give your body time to heal
      sorry for your loss

  8. QUESTION:
    Does anyone have any feel good stories about getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    Just recently had a miscarriage, I was just over 14 weeks. Needless to say it has been extremely difficult and upsetting.

    I just want to know if anyone has gotten pregnant and had a healthy baby after having a miscarriage? (especially a second trimester miscarriage)

    also how long did it take? I fell pregnant first try last time, do you think I will have difficulty conceiving again? I am 36.

    • ANSWER:
      Many years ago I had a missed miscarriage (where the foetus dies but doesn't come away) at 14 weeks gestation. I went to 17 weeks before the doctor bothered to offer a scan despite bleeding for 2 weeks. Eventually I had an operation to remove the remains and had a severe infection.

      My subsequent pregnancies were easy from the point of view of conception and I had no real problems during the pregnancies. My kids are 16 and 17 years old now.

      There should be no reason you cannot go on to have a successful pregnancy, just talk to your doctor early on next time.

  9. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after miscarriage?
    We went through a miscarriage a couple of weeks ago and our doctor told us that this was one of those things that wasn't a result of either one of our genes, it was just something that randomly happened. He encouraged us to wait one cycle and then try again.

    Does anybody have any suggestions or personal experience for getting pregnant after a miscarriage? We already have a 2 year old son so we know that everything is in working order, so to speak. :)

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Just don't stress too much...I miscarried in December and I was also told to wait at least one cycle before trying again. I waited until after I had my January cycle...I wanted it so badly and was disappointed after February's came and then March's, after that I thought to myself, I still want this, but if it doesn't happen right away it will be ok. I had April's cycle and then here I am 9 weeks pregnant :) . Good luck to you!

  10. QUESTION:
    Do I have a good chance of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage on July 29; I was four weeks along, and everything happened naturally. My doctor recommended waiting one cycle before trying to conceive again. Fortunately, my cycle came and was very regular. My husband and I are now ready to try again. This may sound like a stupid question, but do I have a good chance of getting pregnant again this month? Thank you for any help!

    • ANSWER:
      I have had two miscarriages and got pregnant within the same month of both of them. Don't give up!! I was on fertility with my first child and was told that I could never get pregnant without the fertility drugs. We did not want to take fertility again not wanting more than one more child so we decided not to have any more. Five years later I had another daughter. Good luck, hope this helps!!!

  11. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    My husband and I have had unprotected sex 4 times since I've lost my baby and I haven't had a period in a whole month. I don't know if theres any chance of getting pregnant if i haven't had my period yet. I don't need a lectures i just need some advice and if theres a chance when should i test.

    • ANSWER:
      The chances can be slightly HIGHER than usual, because your body is already primed for pregnancy.

      You will ovulate about two weeks BEFORE you get the first period after your miscarriage. So that's when you can get pregnant.

      About testing: since you don't know when to expect your period, you can test about 19 days after the last time you had unprotected sex. This accounts for the about 14 days after ovulation it can take most tests to be accurate, and the about 5 days before ovulation you can have sex and still get pregnant.

  12. QUESTION:
    Any tips on getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    It took us a year to conceive the first time, only to miscarry after about 10 weeks. Everyone said I'd be prgnant right away after the miscarriage, but it's been almost 8 months. I'm healthy, 24 years old, healthy weight, have been taking prenatal vitamins for over a year, don't smoke, no alcohol, almost no caffeine... My husband is also in great shape.
    The only thing is that my periods are REALLY irregular, and always have been. Is there any way I can try to help my cycles be more regular, or take better advantage of the ones I do have?

    • ANSWER:
      Reading your question made me do a double take. It's almost like I had written it myself! I am sorry to read about your miscarriage. It's a painful thing to bear. You are doing everything right. The irregular period part CAN be tricky. What I did was to carefully watch when I would "ovulate" - usually you'll have a thickening of discharge when that happens. And then, my husband and I do the "baby dance". :) Last time that happened, we got pregnant and now I have a beautiful 5 month old daughter. I wish you all the best of luck. :)

  13. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever have a had time getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    It has been over eight months since i had the miscarriage and i am still not pregnant.. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you
    I am 28 years old and I was 12 weeks along when I miscarried.

    • ANSWER:
      I know exactly how you feel i was in the same position as you, I came of depo and after only 5 months fell pregnant, sadly it ended in miscarriage at 8 wks 5 days. After this me and my husband were ttc for almost 18 months with no luck, i think i was just trying too hard every month, and when my periods came i was alway's so upset. We went to the doctors after a year, we were then referred to the fertility clinic and i was put on clomid and after my 3rd round i am now nearly 9 wks pregnant with twins, it will happen for you too.

      Goodluck and lots of babydust to you.

  14. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after Miscarriage?
    I had a miscarriage 2 month's ago at 8 weeks and my doctor said everything looks good for me and I didn't need a D&C and I can start as soon as I had my first period and I have had 2 periods and I am ovulating now and I just wanted to know if anyone got pregnant a couple month's after a miscarriage cause we have 2 year old now and he wants a brother or sister and we are really wanting another baby.

    • ANSWER:
      I also miscarried and got pregnant again the very next month - I didn't even get a period in between. I'm nervous though. I'm still very early in my pregnancy. But from what I hear, miscarriages are very common and there is no logical reason or high chance of it happening again.

    Does anyone have an explanation??

  22. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after a miscarriage?
    Who here has had a miscarriage and gotten pregnant after or had another miscarriage? If you got pregnant with a healthy baby, how long did it take you to conceive them after miscarriage?

    • ANSWER:
      I had that happen 3 times. Miscarried due to medication (provera) and got pg with daughter 3 months later. Got pg and miscarried at 5 weeks (under a lot of stress at time) and got pg 3 months later. The 3rd time, I was on fertility drugs--got pregnant but it was a chem pregnancy (pregnancy hormones were dropping by 16 days post ovulation) so I had a D&C and 2 cycles later (another fertility treatment cycle) I got pregnant again but that also turned into a chem pg.
      You're very fertile after a miscarriage I believe because of the high levels of pregnancy the body had.
      The risk of repeated miscarriage back to back is very rare and usually do to clotting or immune problems. There are blood test that can determine those. But they are very rare and usually the test are done if you have 2 m/c back to back. My last two m/c are due to my age (poor egg quality).
      Also, you don't have to wait to try again. I had an RE (reproductive specialist) helping me after the waiting for AF following my m/c. And my gyn (before going to my RE) helped me after my late m/c (lost a pg at 16 weeks due to listeria) in 2008 after I got my 1st AF 4 weeks from that loss and also when I had my first miscarriage.
      They told me it was old thinking that they uterus needed to rest but they now know that they body simply will not allow a pregnancy if it is not ready to conceive (ovulation will not occur). When the body is stressed even by weight loss or gain or by heavy exercise, our bodies prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. Our bodies are pretty good at preventing pg when things aren't in sync.

    Is it true that you are more fertile and its easier to get pregnant after a miscarriage? Anybody with any personal Experiences?Tell me your stories and How Long did it take you to get pregnant again after a miscarriage,and was you trying or did it just happen?

    • ANSWER:
      For me that was not the case. It took about 8 months after my miscarriage to get pregnant. So I personally don't think it plays a role. I think you should wait atleast a month or 2 though before trying again. If this question is regards to a miscarriage you have had...From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry. It is an awful thing to go through, mine was at 15 weeks:( God bless you and good luck...Say a prayer, I am a believer in the power of prayer:)

    getting pregnant after miscarriage....???
    i had a mc 3 yrs ago with twins. well a missed miscarriage. then i just had a miscarriage right now with bleeding. so i was wondering. since this is my second mc and both mc were different what r my chances of carrying a baby to term. they said with my kinda uterus its hard to get pregnant bc its C shaped. So anytips on getting pregnant after a mc. thanks?

    • ANSWER:
      I think the best thing that you could do is go to an OB and get blood work done. Maybe something in your body is causing the miscarriages. It could also be lack of progesterone which is determined by a simple blood test. Having miscarriages are common, because at that point everything is so delicate. There are surgeries to correct the uterus but that would be something you'd have to talk to your OB/Gyne about also. I wish you good luck, I know how hard it is when you keep on experiencing miscarriges!

  26. QUESTION:
    question about getting pregnant after miscarriage?

    I usually have a 28 day cycle, so its a week before I should start. I had a little pink on the 26th then the 28th and now slightly heavier but still pink. Do you think Im starting my period early because my cycle is still off from the miscarriage or its implantation bleeding. I did have it with my first pregnancy but it was more brown. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

  27. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after miscarriage with a D&C......please help.?
    11 days ago I had to have a D&C for a miscvarriage, I was around 8 weeks pregnant. There was no fetal pole but was a Gestational sac and yolk. Emotionally this is the hardest thing I have ever had to face and although it is hard it is getting better and better each day. After about a week my hormones calmed down and the crying and breakdowns have subsided. I am trying to move forward and be excited about trying again and know that this happened for a reason even if we do not know that reason.

    The doctor told us to wait 2 cycles before we start trying again to let me Uterus heal, he advised that there is a higher chance of miscarriage again if we dont wait for the lining to build up again. So that will put us trying again in January or so. Typically my cycles are very regular, 28 days so I am hoping they stay that way even after this.

    Has anyone had a D&C and had a healthy pregnancy shortly after? I find myself being nervous again about trying and for some reason it not happening for us. In the past I have had no issues getting pregnant, I got pregnant in May of 09 which was ectopic(it was not planned and was a complete surprise, on our honeymoon we had had ONE "accident" and that was when I got pregnant). We then decided to try for our first baby in October '10 and ngot pregnant within 2 months and have a healthy, happy little girl. Then this time I ended up getting pregnant within 2 months of trying as well but sadly had to deal with a miscarriage. I am hoping that getting pregnant stays easy for us as it has been in the past. What do you guys think? Looking for some reassurance and any stories that anyone may have in regards to this.

    Thanks all so much!

    • ANSWER:
      In October 2010 my husband and I found out we were pregnant again, we have a 3 yo son. We were so excited only to find out at a 12 week u/s that the baby hadn't grown past 8 weeks and had no heartbeat. I had a D&C to remove the POC and I was so scared just like you to try again. We waited only one cycle and started trying to concieve after that. We found out in March that we were expecting again and here I am, 40weeks and 3 days pregnant waiting for this baby to come out and I have had zero complications throughout the entire pregnancy. He is a healthy little boy who is obviously very stubborn because he just won't come out! Good luck, you will get your healthy baby soon.

  28. QUESTION:
    How soon after a miscarriage did you get pregnant?
    I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks a few days ago and my doctor said to wait 2 periods until we try again. I was a bit disapointed because I want to try after one. When did you get pregnant after miscarriage? Did it end with a healthy baby? Is there any truth to that If I get pregnant too soon ill miscarry again?

    • ANSWER:
      There is always a possibility of miscarriage whether you have had a miscarriage or not.
      I have had 6 miscarriages in total but have 3 healthy children.

      My last child was conceived about 3 weeks after i miscarried. I bled for 2 weeks and fell pregnant in the week after that.
      I never had any complications other the extreme sickness from 5 weeks right until the birth.

      The only thing i would say is if you are going to try again make sure you are emotionally ready to cope with another possible miscarriage if it should happen.

  29. QUESTION:
    Body is still acting pregnant after miscarriage?
    On October 24th I had an 11 week miscarriage. I bled for about 5 days and passed (I think) everything. Now, 9 days later I still have a fair amount of hcg in my system (as evidenced by a HPT) and my body is still acting like it's pregnant. My boobs are getting bigger and my uterus is still very hard.

    Is this normal or could I still be pregnant? How long does it take for a body to realize that there's nothing there?

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry for your loss! Everyones body reacts differently to miscarriage, it is no surprise that your body has not yet gotten the signal that you are no longer pregnant. It takes some time for the HCG to exit your body. It could take as little as a few days to a whole month (unfortunately). Having been there myself, I know this period of time is perhaps the worst part. Just give yourself time to heal and do things that take your mind away from this (as much as possible). Lean on your friends for support. Take care.

  30. QUESTION:
    How soon is it possible to get pregnant after miscarriage?
    I just read that you ovulate 2 weeks after miscarriage. I had one on 11/28 and 2 weeks after would be yesterday 12/12.

    I had unprotected sex (pull out method) on 12/10 and 12/11

    What are the chances I'd be pregnant again so soon? I haven't had my first period yet. In a way I'm hoping I do get pregnant again but I'm also very scared I could miscarry again.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can get pregnant again right away and yes you do ovulate two weeks after. But you might not be pregnant if he pulled out. Then again you could. Good luck! And j

  31. QUESTION:
    getting Pregnant after miscarriage?
    I have very recently had a miscarriage so it is not something im considering yet at all. My miscarriage was a complete miscarriage (no operation).

    I have been told by my doctor to wait at least one period before trying again. He did add it is safe before then but its easier to date if i wait plus my body needs to recover.

    Is that correct or is it safer to wait longer?

    • ANSWER:
      I have had 2 miscarriages the doctor told me with both it is best to wait 4 months to allow your body to heal(it is possible before though) Also she said that if you get pregnant within a year of miscarriage that your chances of having a full term healthy pregnancy is very good.

    I miscarried 2 weeks ago at 4 months(2/16/12) pregnant and my husband and I had sex right after I stopped bleeding/ spotting(3/1/12). He nutted in me and I don't want to relive the pain of loosing another baby. My OB told me to wait till I had 3 normal periods(at least) or 6 months later. Basically my question is what are the chances of me getting pregnant right now? Am I more fertile because I MC? What are the chances of MC again? Has anyone had a successful pregnancy that experienced this as well? What should I be worried?

    • ANSWER:
      I miscarried and fell pregnant the next month. My beautiful daughter is 10 :)

      I don't think it makes you any more or less fertile than usual. But if you miscarried at 4 months you should have your next pregnancy monitored closely by your doctor as sometimes they can help stop a miscarriage if they know you're prone to them :) good luck

  40. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get pregnant after miscarriage?
    I was pregnant just before the New Year, about 2-3 weeks. A miscarriage started at a level of hcg of 26. By the 2nd of Jan it had dropped to 4. I still haven't had a period, and I normally have a 21 day cycle. I did a test today (23rd) and it came up positive. Would this be residue levels from the miscarriage, or am I pregnant again? I have been trying, but didn't think it would happen so soon. Can anyone help?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks, and I had a D&C. Two weeks after my D&C I got pregnant and delivered a healthy baby boy! As far as how long the hcg could be detected in your urine after a miscarriage, I am not sure. I know it was a shorter period for me due to the D&C procedure. I know doctors will typically tell you to at least wait 1 to 2 cycles b4 trying again. Good luck to you!

    • ANSWER:
      I had a D&C 4 months ago following a miscarriage. I was 10 weeks along but the baby died at 6 weeks. I know you are upset sweetie and let yourself be sad and grieve. Having a miscarriage does NOT mean anything is wrong with you or that you did something to cause it. You will always love and remember that baby but it will get better with time. I had my period again 3 weeks after my d&c and was pregnant the next month. I am now 2 months pregnant. We went to the doctor and saw the baby growing with the heart beating strong. God bless you!

  44. QUESTION:
    Should I try to get pregnant after miscarriage?
    I recently had a miscarriage and my husband wants to try to get me pregnant again. Physically I should be ready, but I am terrified that I could miscarry again. Is this an irrational fear?

    • ANSWER:
      Take a little time for yourself. You were pregnant; you imagined what the baby would look like and you pictured yourself holding it. It's okay to wait until you are ready before you try again.

      Miscarriage is a lot more common than people used to think. The difference is that we have tests that are accurate two or three weeks after conception; our mothers and grandmothers found out for sure when they started gaining weight. Sometimes miscarriages do happen again, but it isn't your fault; most of the time miscarriage is a result of some genetic problem with the pregnancy.

      Miscarriage is different for everyone. Some women aren't bothered; some women are profoundly upset by it. Mourn at your own pace and tell your husband what you need.

  45. QUESTION:
    How long will it take to get pregnant after miscarriage? ?
    I had a early miscarriage in mid August now its December and I got my period again. How long do you think It will take to get pregnant again? The whole thing has been difficult for me. My sister just had a baby and my other sister is pregnant. Any help is appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      After my miscarriage it took 6 weeks for my periods to start and then 5 months after that to get pregnant. My daughter is now 4 weeks old.

      Don't lose heart, it will happen for you. Good luck!

Getting Pregnant After Abortion

Why Can't I Get pregnant After An Abortion - Couples Who are unable to Get Pregnant
If you have been trying for a baby for over a year now and have been unsuccessful without any apparent reason, you must be wondering, "Why can't I get pregnant?" Women who have had a miscarriage or an abortion may also have difficulty conceiving again. So if you are one such woman and are thinking," why can't I get pregnant after an abortion?", below are some of the possible reasons behind your inability to conceive.

Causes of Infertility

Age Factor
As men and women age, it becomes more and more difficult for them to get pregnant. When women turn thirty five, their frequency and quality of ovulation is greatly affected. The eggs that are released by the ovaries every month as well as the woman's internal hormones may no longer be as suitable for fertilization as they were when the woman was younger. As far as the men are concerned, their semen count can considerably reduce after they turn forty. So, if you and your partner fall in the age brackets mentioned here, it could give you another reason for asking, "why can't I get pregnant?"

Frequency of Sex
If you are wondering, "why can't I get pregnant the second time?", the reason could be that you are not having sex more often. Often times it is seen that couples limit their sexual activity to the weekends or just once in a fortnight. Since there is lesser intercourse, chances of the woman getting pregnant become less too. Also, having sex at the right time, ie knowing exactly when are women most fertile and then having intercourse during that period is important too. Calculate it correctly and you will no longer have to ask yourself, "why can't I get pregnant?"
Smoking and Alcohol
When a man smokes or drinks too much, his sperm count reduces and thus, it will be difficult for him or take longer for him to make a woman pregnant. Smoking brings down the energy levels too, so the ability to have sex is reduced by smoking in excess too. Researches have shown that if either of the partners consumes more than four units of an alcoholic beverage in a week, it brings down the chances of that couple's getting pregnant by about a third.

Diseases and Medical Problems
If either of the partners suffers from diseases such as diabetes, thyroid problems or an underlying sexually transmitted disease, it can lead to infertility. Endometriosis, a condition in which the endometrium, the tissue from the uterus's lining starts growing in places which are outside the uterus, causing infertility, is another of the medical conditions which can make getting pregnant difficult. Uterine structural problems, blocked fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts may make pregnancies difficult to occur too. If a woman wonders, "why can't I get pregnant after a miscarriage?" the reason could be an infection in the uterus or scarring of the uterine lining.

Unhealthy Diet and Lack of Exercise
It is very essential that both the partners are eating a healthy balanced diet, with the right amount of vitamins and minerals. Any kind of deficiency in the body, or if the woman is underweight or overweight due to wrong eating habits and lack of exercise, can affect her menstrual cycle. This can make getting pregnant difficult. See to it that your diet provides you with enough zinc and folic acid. Zinc keeps the sperms produced good in quality while folic acid prepares a woman's body for pregnancy by adding to the number of red blood cells.

Stress and Anxiety
If either of the partners is under some stress, it can reduce the chances of pregnancy. For women, too much of stress can cause irregularity in their periods, thus making pregnancy difficulty.

According to statistics, around thirty percent of couples who are unable to get pregnant, may actually never find out the reason behind their infertility. And, there is actually nothing that they can do about it if the problems causing infertility in them remain undiagnosed. So, instead of harping on getting pregnant and worrying about it thinking, "why can't I get pregnant?" just enjoy your sex life and let nature take its course.

Getting Pregnant After 45

Getting Pregnant In Your 40S
Getting pregnant in your 40s

If you've put off pregnancy because of work or relationship concerns or because you simply weren't ready, you may feel like the woman on the 1980s cartoon who laments, "Oh my God, I forgot to have children!" There's no denying your odds of getting pregnant are now far lower than just a few years ago. After 45, experts say, it's almost impossible to get pregnant using your own eggs.

At the same time, many 40-plus women do get pregnant, some using fertility treatments and some not. And recent studies have shown there may be benefits to waiting to have children, for both you and your child.

Pros
Probably the greatest advantage of waiting to have children is that you've waited to have children. You've had time to grow and to see the world; you're presumably more secure financially and more comfortable in your career. If you've been with your partner for a while you will have had the chance to get to know each other in a variety of circumstances, which will provide a solid foundation for raising a family.
There's some evidence that older mothers, (who are, in general, better educated than young mothers) make wiser parenting decisions. They're more likely to breastfeed and, according to one recent study, to eat more healthily.

Waiting to have children also has financial benefits. According to one study in the UK, "Women who give themselves more years of experience in the workplace before having children tend to come back to work quicker after their maternity leave. Because they're more connected to their employer, it's easier for them to come back part-time if they want to, rather than leave the labour market altogether."

Susan Heitler, a family and marriage therapist, believes that the best time to have children is in your late 20s to early 30s, but she also sees pluses for couples who wait: "Parents in their 40s are often more focused on their children than younger parents," she points out. "They've had time to travel and to have a broad range of experiences before having children. They have less financial pressure, and more of a 'been there, done that' attitude towards hard partying and 60-hour working weeks."

Nicole, a mother of five and sales director of a large hotel, says that, at 41, she has less energy than she used to, but on the other hand is a wiser and more patient parent. "In your 20s and your 30s, you tend to put too much pressure on yourself as a parent," she reflects. "You think it will be a disaster if things don't go just right. If you don't have time to buy a present before a birthday party, for example, you stress out about it. As an older parent, I find things don't bother me as much."

On a practical level, "when you're a single parent in your 20s and you're late for work, it can cost you your job, which means you may not be able to pay the rent," she adds. "Now I'm at a level where I have job security and financial security. I don't have to worry about things like that, so I'm a lot more relaxed."

Cons
The biggest downside to putting off pregnancy until your 40s is significant: the longer you wait, the harder it is to get pregnant. This is principally because, as early as 15 years before a woman goes through menopause, the number of her eggs begins to decline and the eggs that are produced are more likely to have chromosomal problems that raise the risk for miscarriage and birth defects.
There's a big difference in egg viability between the early 40s and the mid to late 40s. "There's a steep drop in fertility in the 40s," says Julia Johnson, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology. "Your odds of getting pregnant at 41 are much better than they are at 43."

A recent study in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility confirms her point. Researchers found that 40-year-old women treated for infertility had a 25 per cent chance of achieving pregnancy using their own eggs. By age 43 that number dropped to 10 per cent, and by 44 it had plummeted still further to 1.6 per cent. Among women who did get pregnant, the miscarriage rate was 24 per cent for 40-year-olds, 38 per cent for 43-year-olds, and 54 per cent for 44-year-olds.

Fertility expert James Goldfarb says that, in his 30 years on the job, he has never seen a woman get pregnant with her own eggs after age 46. "It's like buying a lottery ticket," he says. "Yes, someone wins every once in a while, but you shouldn't bank on it." (Note: if you don't want to get pregnant, you shouldn't take this to mean that you can stop using contraception at 46. Instead you should wait until you are sure that you have stopped ovulating.)

Using a donor egg boosts the odds of getting pregnant considerably, and according to Dr Goldfarb, that's how most of the older celebrity mums are doing it, whether they admit it or not. "The fact that they don't talk about it openly does a real disservice to other women," he says. "We get at least one patient a month who comes in with the false hope that she can get pregnant using her own eggs."

Pregnancy complications are another concern. In your 40s you're more likely to develop problems like high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy, as well as placental problems and birth complications. Women over 40 have a higher risk of delivering a low-birth-weight or premature baby. Stillbirth rates are also higher, and studies show that children born to older mothers are themselves at increased risk of type-1 diabetes and high blood pressure.

And don't forget about your partner; his age can affect his fertility too. Although men are physically capable of fathering children in their 60s and even their 70s, sperm quality deteriorates with age, and there's a higher rate of genetic defects than there is with the sperm of younger men. In recent years clinical trials have found links between the father's age and genetically related conditions such as Down's syndrome and schizophrenia.

All these downsides can be disheartening, but don't forget that some women do get pregnant well into their 40s (Cherie Blair had her fourth child, Leo, at 45) and many of them have complication-free pregnancies and healthy babies. Plus, while older mothers may be at higher risk for pregnancy complications, the overall risk is low.

One more caveat: while there are financial advantages to waiting to have children, there may be liabilities as well. "If you wait, you're likely to have to continue working to an older age, for one thing," says financial planner Marnie Azner. "You'll still have financial responsibilities at a time when many of your friends are beginning to retire. If you haven't been putting aside money for retirement up until now, it's going to get even harder to do so after you have children. Other things become more expensive, too, like life and health insurance. Finally, if you have trouble getting pregnant, the cost of fertility treatments can really add up."

Your odds of success
Roughly two thirds of women over 40 have fertility problems. Once you pass 40, time is pitiless. You have about a five-per-cent chance of getting pregnant in any single menstrual cycle, according to Sherman Silber, a leading fertility specialist and author of four bestselling fertility books, including How to Get Pregnant. At 40 your chance of conceiving within a year is about 40 to 50 per cent, compared to a woman in her mid-30s, who has a 75-per-cent chance. By age 43, a woman's chance of pregnancy plummets to one or two per cent.

Why the steep drop-off? Silber says it's all about the eggs. From the time you reach puberty, with your eggs numbering around 300,000, you'll lose about 13,000 eggs a year. Over the years this steady drop in egg supply will leave you with about 25,000 eggs by age 37. At 37 comes a precipitous drop in fertility. "By age 43, you're really at the end of your egg supply," Silber says, "and your chances of pregnancy are slim."

Miscarriage rates begin to skyrocket in your 40s as well. From age 40 to 44, the rate of miscarriage is 34 per cent, and it rises to 53 per cent for women 45 and older (compared to 10 per cent at age 20 and 12 per cent at age 30). After age 40, the risk of pregnancy complications, such as high blood pressure and diabetes is twice as high as it is for a woman in her 20s. The odds of genetic problems also jump as you get older: at 40, your chance of having a child with Down's syndrome is one in 110; at 45 it's one in 30. Since risks of genetic problems increase in this age group, doctors may recommend diagnostic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling for women this age.

First-time mothers over 40 also have a 43-per-cent chance of having a caesarean (compared with 14 per cent for first-time mothers in their 20s), although some experts believe this partly due to the fact that older mothers are perceived as "high risk" even if their pregnancy is straightforward. The incidence of low-birthweight and stillborn babies is higher as well.

One very positive fact on your side: there's no better time in history to try to get pregnant as an older mother, given the range of new fertility treatments now available. While in vitro fertilisation (IVF) success rates begin to fall after age 35, your chance of success using donor eggs remains high, with a live birth rate of around 28 per cent. For women in their 40s whose eggs are donated by a woman in her 20s or 30s, the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal problems is consistent with the age of the egg donor.

Getting Pregnant After Giving Birth

Getting Pregnant At 40 - Natural Ways To Increase Your Chances Of Conception
Many folks are skeptical at the possibility of getting pregnant at 40 but there are natural ways to increase your chances of conception. Although there are artificial means to improve your odds of conceiving a baby such as those fertility treatments and products, natural ways are pretty much recommended-particularly at first. There are certain benefits of getting pregnant at 40 through natural means. You know that it's safe and that they are not as pricey as some of the artificial ways.

Start improving your chances of conception through increasing your intake of plant protein. In line with this, if you are consuming animal protein, you have to take it down a notch. Focus more on plant protein sources like beans, lentils, peas and peanuts. Another natural way for you to try is none other than the water treatment. You have to make sure that you drink a lot of water, at least eight glasses of water every day. Avoid getting yourself dehydrated because that won't help you achieve your goals of becoming pregnant. The water treatment is beneficial for almost every health condition even in simple stuff like colds, flu, etc. In terms of conception, keeping your reproductive organs well-hydrated keeps them functioning at an optimum level.

Aside from that, you should make sure that you have a clean colon. There are folks who haven't used the toilet for days. They think that's okay but it can mean that something's wrong with your excretory system or other underlying diseases. It also means that toxins are accumulating inside your body specifically in your colon. Having a build up in your colon may be a hindrance to your mission and desire of conceiving a child. Remember that getting pregnant at 40 is already a challenge. Don't make it more difficult by not looking after your colon.

Another natural way to increase the odds of better conception is going for the missionary position during sex. There are various sexual positions that you and your partner can try. However, if you want to get pregnant despite the fact that you are over 40, you need to make use of sexual positions that can close in the gap between the egg and sperm. The missionary position is the most appropriate position for that purpose. You also have to make sure that the sperm won't leak out. Stay lying on the bed after sex because if you stand up right away, chances of the sperm flowing upstream may be affected by gravity.

Do you want to learn tips in getting pregnant at 40? Try to experience sexual orgasms while you and your partner are doing it, in short: enjoy the moment. Don't stress yourself out. Just relax and enjoy. If you are worrying too much whether you can conceive a child or not during sexual intercourse, you are just hindering your chances as it is proven that stress is a fertility detractor.

There is a holistic system which has been clinically researched over 14 years and which guarantees to help couples become pregnant quickly, regardless of age. Containing secret natural infertility cures, powerful techniques and the step-by-step holistic infertility cure system which is all you will ever need to permanently eliminate infertility within weeks, most women will become pregnant within 3-4 months.

This "no stone unturned" system does not use drugs or surgery and has no side effects. However, it is powerful and potent and comes with a 100% guarantee. To see further details and tips for getting pregnant at 40, please visit Become Pregnant Fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    what are the compications of getting pregnant soon after giving birth?
    i wanted to know the complications of getting pregnant after giving birth

    • ANSWER:
      I was advised not to fall pregnant for at least 2 years after having our son. I had an emergency c-section. Their reasons were my body needed time to heal and just go back to normal for a while before being put through all that 40 weeks of pregnancy and then labor.

  2. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of getting pregnant after giving birth?
    I gave birth August 25th, i am wanting to conceive again shortly.. money isnt a problem. Things are very good in our lives. We only want to try again soon bc i had a premature birth and my baby did not survive past two days. which the doctors have said so far, they see no reason why i did, i and my baby were perfectly healthy. So can anyone on here tell me how likely you are to conceive again soon after giving birth?

    • ANSWER:
      i am so sorry for your lose.
      and if i was you, i would wait at least through one cycle.
      and if it's normal, then happy humping!
      just joking.
      but if your period regulates itself before you start trying it will probably be easier to get pregnant.
      so good luck.

  3. QUESTION:
    What is the reccomended time before getting pregnant after giving birth?
    My daughter was born in April. At this moment I don't plan on getting pregnant within the next year, but I was thinking when my daughter turns a year old, we could start trying again. I'd like my children to be close in age. Is a year long enough for your body to heal? I know some women have kids back to back, but I don't think I'd handle that so well.

    So what is the least amount of time your body needs to heal and recuperate?

    • ANSWER:
      That's a good time for you. But it's when you are ready to have kids. And the doctors will tell you that six weeks be4 you can have sex after your baby is born doesn't mean it's okay to get pregnant at that time. My husband and i are going to wait 1 year be4 we have our second child. That way our kids will be close in age as well. We just had a baby in May. So we don't want our son to be alone and no one to play with. But your body should already be healed up unless you had a c-section. Then it takes a little longer for you to heal. Good luck and congrats on your new bundle of joy!

  4. QUESTION:
    how high are your risks at getting pregnant after giving birth?
    i had my son almost 4 weeks ago. Daddy and me couldn't wait any longer to have sex so we did and we didn't use protection...yes i know that was extremely stupid but it happened. now I'm terrified that i could be pregnant again. I love my son and i am so happy i have him but I'm really not ready to go though labor again...and i refuse to do the morning after pill.

    my friend keeps getting pregnant right after giving birth. this is her 4th pregnancy back to back. her first 2 pregnancy went fine( only a couple of marks) her 2nd and 3rd are 11months apart and she gt a couple of more marks and now shes 11 weeks preggo with
    #4 will she get more? how will her body look after? she doesn't gain much weight, less then 25lbs with each and loses it in weeks but still, can this be healthy?

    • ANSWER:
      i dont think shes giving her body a good time to heal...but maybe if shes not giving the stretch marks time to heal either they wont get as bad? i have no idea but she should definatley use lots of lotion to keep the skin supple and not so...worn out. It wont prevent the marks but itll feel good. But if shes not gaining tons of weight than she probably will only get a few more.

  8. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant again soon after giving birth?
    how soon can you get pregnant after giving birth i had my son 5 weeks ago, i had unprotected sex 3 times ( stupid i know i dont need anyone to tell me that) and starting yesterday i had light brown bleeding, very light and a tiny bit today, could this be something relating to a new pregnancy or just left of blood from after having this baby.

    Thank you everyone !!

    • ANSWER:
      It could be a number of things.
      Firstly I would think that it is the beginning of your menstrual cycle.
      You definitely could be pregnant especially if you aren't breastfeeding.
      Could be left over blood.
      My sister in law got pregnant 3 weeks after her first baby.

  9. QUESTION:
    are the chances higher of getting pregnant after giving birth?
    i had a baby almost 3 months ago, i have recently resumed having sex, and was just wondering are you more fertile in the first few months. im allergic to latex and have not gone back on the pill yet at im no longer breastfeeding so i cant have the miny pill and the normal pill my doctor adv to wait 6 months as it can cause blood clots after birth. ( my mum had a blood clot after surgery once so im an extra high risk). so my question is how likely is it to get prgenant after giving birth 3 months ago and using no source of birth control and my partner never comes. i know its stupid and i should just wait till i can use some sort of control. i do want more children, but getting married in 8 months and dont wish to be pregnant for this.

    • ANSWER:
      You're just as fertile as you were before. If you don't want to get pregnant, I'd recommend birth control of some sort.

  10. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after giving birth?
    its been a month after i had my son... my husband and i hav had sex bout 5 times, unprotected. wat are my chances of getting pregnant from those times.. and has anyone not gotten pregnant after giving birth, being lucky not to after having a baby?
    Oh and we want to hav another baby.
    No rude comments thanks
    Im not breastfeeding

    • ANSWER:
      Hi There

      I was Breast feeding my daughter 100% and fell pregnant only 10 weeks after birth (started having unprotected sex from 4 weeks after birth). I wanted my children close together also. I didnt think it would happen that soon because of the breastfeeding. But im very grateful it did. Hope this helps. All the best chicky :)

  11. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant after giving birth?
    So I had my daughter 2 months ago and at 5 weeks i thought i had a period but im not sure if it was period or lochia since i had bled since i gave birth, stopped a couple days, then started again. i am breastfeeding (well exclusively pumping...i don't know if that matters becuase I know they say its hard to get pregnant while breastfeeding). Me and my husband had sex last night and the condom broke. what is the likelyhood of me getting pregnant from this? I know they say youre super fertile after birth but is it still true if you're breastfeeding? thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Breastfeeding does help to prevent pregnancy but it is not a birth control and you can get pregnant. At 2 months I would say you're still very fertile, do the test, there is nothing else you can do now.

  12. QUESTION:
    chances of getting pregnant soon after giving birth using pull out method?
    obviously, I know it's not reliable at all. I just want to know if your chances increase any right after giving birth.

    • ANSWER:
      Here is my advice and experience. Of course we all know it does not work!!! I have a 15 month old, a 4 month old, and just found out I am 10 weeks pregnant! So....do the math, add in pull out method, and that's my reality!!! Now I will have 3 babies in 22 months....and I also have 4 other children that are 9,7,6,5!!!! I have even been on birth control before and conceived twice!!!!

  13. QUESTION:
    How to get pregnant after giving birth?
    I gave birth to my daughter 5-30-11. Me and my husband are wanting to get pregnant again to have our last child as soon as we can. How can I get pregnant right away safely? I also might add I had my daughter by c-section so Im scared about getting pregnant again and how my body will handel that after a c-section.

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly, plenty of people get pregnant very soon after giving birth, even by c-section. Unless you're talking about needing fertility treatment, you'd get pregnant the same way. Track your cycles, see when you're likely to ovulate, and have a little fun with the hubby.
      Congrats on your bouncing baby girl :)

  14. QUESTION:
    Are you more prone to getting pregnant right after giving birth?
    I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and i was just wondering if you are more prone to getting pregnant right after just having a baby? That is what i heard anyway....

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you are. After my first baby, I waited the full 6 weeks, and I had sex with my husband one time and used a condom. I didn't want to again because it was very painful, so we didn't. Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant again. Also, I was breastfeeding her exclusively.

  15. QUESTION:
    Has anyone here gotten pregnant after giving birth?
    Little long of question to post it all in the title but has anyone gotten pregnant in the weeks after giving birth from no condom and pulling out? I know getting pregnant from pulling out is 100% possible but i never did until me and my fiance stopped pulling out..i also know your extremely more fertile after a baby,i gave birth 5 weeks ago an breastfed the first 2 weeks for what it matters.We were dumb and got caught up and im just really worried right now. Thanks ladies.

  16. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant 4 wks after giving birth?
    My son is almost 7 wks old. My partner and I had unprotected sex on May 14th (4 wks after I gave birth). I still haven't had my period and I am not breastfeeding. I took a pregnancy test May 26th and it was negative. Is it possible to get pregnant that soon, and if so when would a home pregnancy test be accurate?
    I seen my OB/GYN a week ago. I told him that I had unprotected sex, he said that pregnancy this soon was very unlikely. However he wrote me out a presciption for birth control and informed that I should expect my period anytime now.

    • ANSWER:
      It's possible to get pregnant right after having a baby. As for not getting your period yet, my doctor told me its normal. I gave birth on March 16th and didn't get my period for two months after I gave birth and I didn't breastfeed. Every ones body reacts differently after child birth. Just give it time and take the birth control pills if you don't want another baby right away.

  17. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after giving birth?
    I gave birth to my baby 2 weeks ago. Me and my husband had sex tonight and he ejaculated inside of me unprotected it was the spur of the moment thing. My doctor said it was ok once the bleeding stopped because i did not tear or anything and my bleeding let off. I also breastfeed my baby all day with supplementing bottles for night time feedings. what are my chances of getting pregnant 2 weeks after giving birth and since im breastfeeding? pls dont leave any rude or mean comments, we are happily married and this was an accident that just happened...
    btw, i dont want to be pregnant, im concerned but regardless if it happened we could manage ok.

    • ANSWER:
      I know how you feel. I did the same thing 2 weeks after giving birth too as I didn't tear >.<. Supposedly breastfeeding decreases your chances of getting pregnant, (keyword: supposedly), but you are extremely fertile right after giving birth since the cervix is still open. I would suggest using condoms next time and waiting 2 weeks or so and take a test. I just took my test yesterday and was glad to see negative lol. I am definitely going to ask my doctor about birth control at my next visit and you should do the same. Wishing you all the best, good luck!

  18. QUESTION:
    How fast can you get pregnant after giving birth?
    I just gave birth to a baby boy a month ago. I had intercourse with my husband 3 weeks after delivering without any type of BC. Not to mention I have not had a period although majority of women have it 6 weeks after giving birth. When I got pregnant with my son my feet started to swell in the first stage of pregnancy and didn't go down until a week and half of having him. I'm nervous I may be pregnant again... could it be so due to the symptom I'm having?

    • ANSWER:
      Its extremely possible to be pregnant again. Ironically after childbirth you are at your most fertile. If your breastfeeding you might not get a period but you can certainly ovulate again. Get a test immediately.

  19. QUESTION:
    How common is it to get pregnant right after giving birth?
    OK this is the deal, I don't want you to tell me how stupid I am, or irresponsible I am, you won't be telling me anything i don't already know. What I want to know is how common it is to get pregnant after giving birth and how soon would you know? I have just given birth to my baby girl 5 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, and he came in me twice. It just kinda happened, like I said don't tell me how stupid that was, I know!!! How likely is it that I could be pregnant again? and how soon will I know? I am a first time mother, and am not sure on everything. I have been looking around and can't find any info that makes sense. I have my 6 week follow up on Friday, should I know by then? Any info would be helpful.

    • ANSWER:
      It is highly likely to get pregnant again after having given birth, because you're so open. my sister-in- law gave birth to a beautiful girl, had unprotected sex (they didn't know it would be so easy to get pregnant again) and 10 months later, they had twins. i don't think you'll know by your 6 week check up, because you still have hormones swilling around in you. also, if you're breastfeeding, your chances of getting pregnant again are slim....but still, there's no telling other than to wait it out. good luck!

  20. QUESTION:

  21. QUESTION:
    When is the most fertile period to get pregnant after giving birth?
    My period hasn't come back 5 months after giving birth and I am breastfeeding at the moment. Could anyone tell me when is the most fertile period to try for a second baby? I am hoping to get pregnant in July or August this year. What is the best time of the month to get pregnant when there is no period?Thanks a lot.

    • ANSWER:
      Breastfeeding reduces fertility, but doesn't stop fertility. Every day for thirty days check your discharge. Clear discharge signals ovulation. Cloudy discharge signals the end of ovulation. It is possible to ovulate without a period after childbirth. Best wishes, G

  22. QUESTION:
    Can I still get pregnant 2 months after giving birth. And how long will I remain fertile?
    I had my son on August 21. I started having sex 4 weeks after giving birth. I had unprotected sex on October 4th. My husband admitted to not pulling out. But a week after I had my period but it only lasted 2 days when it usually lasts 5. And my blood was light red. Is it possible that I might be pregnant and was my period really implantation bleeding? And how long will I be fertile? I heard that it is very easy to get pregnant after giving birth. Is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      You are very fertile after giving birth. Your body is trying to regulate itself after 40 weeks of not having a period. Your periods are bound to not be as regular because it has been so long and also if you are breastfeeding but I don't know if you are or not. As for how long, I don't know that there is a timetable. If you are breastfeeding, just take extra precautions. If not, get on birth control, and there are a few forms that are safe while breastfeeding. I hope that this helped and good luck.

  23. QUESTION:
    Pregnant after 5 months of giving birth?
    I was just curious if there's still a high chance of getting pregnant after giving birth. I recently just had a baby girl and she's now 5 months, I'm still sexually active with my husband, and I haven't got my period and I'm on birth control....are the chances still high even though I've just had my baby?

    • ANSWER:
      its always high. i have a 5 year old who was concieved from birth control. and a 4 1/2 month old and im 9 weeks pregnant. but i didnt get on birth control. i got pregnant 2 months after giving birth to my youngest. if you are worried of pregnancy take a test or a blood test for more accuracy. when it comes to our reproductive nothing can prevent whats suppose to happen thats why birth control fails.

  24. QUESTION:
    what is the shortest possible amount of time to get pregnant after giving birth?
    i had a baby on may 14th.

    i had sex with my boyfriend two nights ago. we used a condom, and we did it gently, seeing as that i was still sore. it was not until after ejaculation that we noticed the condom had split. ive been worried for a bit. could i possibly be pregnant? what is the shortest possible amount of time i could get pregnant after giving birth? stores or advice would be appreciated thank you very much!

    • ANSWER:
      Wow.. you should be really worried at this point.

      Your cervix stays about 2-3cm dilated for 6-8 weeks postpartum.. that makes it VERY VERY easy for sperm to swim straight through to your waiting egg (or eggs)!

      You can get pregnant immediately after having a baby! It's actually really common since it's really easy to get pregnant at that time!

  25. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant after giving birth 2 months ago?

    • ANSWER:
      Darlin', I just read in a yahoo news article yesterday that your body needs at least 18 months between births to re-stock on nutrients properly, otherwise your next baby could be at a very high risk for miscarriage and deformities. I highly suggest that you wait longer than 2 months to get pregnant again. Do it not only for yourself, but for your child-to-be. Now, if your asking this question in regards to what the probability would be of getting pregnant again from unprotected sex right after giving birth, the probability is very high that yes you could immediately get pregnant again. So be careful and use condoms if you're not ready for another pregnancy so soon after the last birth.

  26. QUESTION:
    Was it hard to get pregnant again after giving birth?
    I would like to try for a second baby with my husband. I have a 3 month old and I would like to know how long it took for you to get pregnant after giving birth.

    • ANSWER:
      I got pregnant again about 3 months after having my first. I'd only just stopped breastfeeding and had my first period. However I wasn't trying to get pregnant. It shouldn't be anymore difficult than at any other time except for that you won't know what your cycles are doing to start with.

      I'm not telling you what to do but you should be aware that it's not advisable to become pregnant again within the first 12 months after having a baby and is increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirths, abnormalities, premature labour and also for you a hemorrhage after the birth. People do it though and it's up to you.

  27. QUESTION:
    How soon can you get pregnant after giving birth?
    My question is how soon can you get pregnant after giving birth? I just had my baby on February 1 and my husband and I had intercourse it is still has notbeen a month quite jet and I just stopped bleeding and wanted to know is it is possible I can get pregnant again if not so I can do the after pill please can anyone help me thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Well, you really shouldn't have had sex yet...it can lead to infections that can leave you infertile or dead...you're supposed to wait a full 6 weeks and be cleared by the doctor.

      If you are breastfeeding it's less likely, most women do not ovulate for about 6 months if they do breastfeed, but some women are abnormal and are capable of ovulation during this time.

      If you do not breastfeed it's possible to begin ovulation within a few weeks after giving birth. You are not "super fertile" at any point during this. Yes, your cervix is more open for a while after vaginal delivery so it's easier for sperm to get in, but that does not mean you have any extra eggs floating around or anything - not to mention it's unlikely you're ovulating at all for a while - so it's a bit of a wash.

      If you do not wish to be pregnant and it's been less than 5 days you should take the morning after pill.
      You NEED to talk to your doctor about pregnancy prevention from here on out, and you really need to stop having sex until you are fully healed. Just because you feel fine and you stopped bleeding does not mean you're healed.

    Does getting pregnant really soon after giving birth affect your pregnancy?
    I have a twelve month old daughter and I am nine months pregnant, my due date is Dec. 15th and I am 36 wks pregnant. My stomach has dropped some and now when I am having intercourse with my husband it is more uncomfortable. I was just wondering if getting pregnant so soon after having my first child could cause this one to come a little early and if so, what are the signs and symptoms?

    • ANSWER:
      like each child, each pregnancy is different.

      i had my daughter dec 2006, my first son jan 2008, and my second son july 2009.
      each pregnancy went full term.. well up to my c-section dates so 39wks..

    I have a 2 1/5 month old. I started taking the pill 3 weeks after I had him. Has anyone gotten pregnant after giving birth while on the pill? If so, did you have the normal prego symptoms or did you have to wait til a missed period?

      i have a friend who did and she ended up with twins the second time. she had sex before the pill was effective and whammo, twins. just make sure that you have been taking the pill for a good 6 weeks before you have sex relying on the pill. up till then if you want sex use some other form of contraception. my friend coped but i sure was glad it was her not me.

  32. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant after giving birth?
    Hi. My husband and I had unprotected sex a few times after my son was born March 6. thinking I could only get pregnant after 12 weeks. I'm not sure if I am but I woke up with some stomach pains. Is it possible to get pregnant right after giving birth.

    • ANSWER:
      sweetheart, many women go to their 6 week check up to find out that they are pregnant again! You are exceptionally fertile immediately after having a baby and in truth it makes the first few visits to your ob difficult if you are pregnant because you have not had a regular cycle to base your pregnancy off of. I would wait maybe 2 weeks after the last episode of unprotected sex to test although you may not get a true answer due to your hormones waiting to re adjust after the baby. Make an appointment with your ob for an exam...and use some birth control of some fashion in the mean time for your own sanity!!
      lots of luck sugar!

  33. QUESTION:
    how soon can you get pregnant after giving birth?
    I gave birth to my son 5 weeks ago, had unprotected sex 3 weeks after and 4 weeks after the birth. The past 2 days Ive had blood tinged cervical mucus?? and been quite crampy? I didnt have this with my son so not sure what it is. Does it sound like I could be pregnant again so soon?

    • ANSWER:
      it could be because your wasnt ready for all that.....It could be your first period coming on ...Or yes you could be pregnant again....You can get pregnant again right away...Goodluck to you! ugh... I was pregnant 2 years in a row . My boys are 14 months apart.....my best friends girls are 10 months apart. they are the same age for 2 months! i hope thats what you want..again goodluck!

  34. QUESTION:
    how much higher are the possibilities of getting pregnant after birth ?
    is it a certanty that after giving birth you can become pregnant if you have unprotected sex before the 6 week recomended time ?
    or by how much is the percentage higher than normal ?

    • ANSWER:
      It's never a certainty that if you have sex while you ovulate you will get pregnant. You have a 1 in 4 chance of getting pregnant just like any person who hasn't given birth would. I do know that it's easier to ovulate after giving birth, but if you do everything right you have a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant.

      good luck

    Getting pregnant right after giving birth?
    Im just curious who became pregnant right after having a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      I know a few people, one woman I know went back for her six week apointment and found out she was 4 weeks pregnant. You aren't supposed to have sex for six weeks but I don't know many people who actually wait that long... My husband and I managed to make it to 3 weeks PP and only because I tore really bad and it took that long to heal.

  36. QUESTION:
    Is there a higher risk of miscarriage or other fetal problems when getting pregnant soon after giving birth?
    My daughter is 5 1/2 months old and I believe that I am pregnant again. My husband and I are very excited. We thought it would be nice to have children close in age, that way they could play with each other and be good friends. Plus we absolutely love being parents! Our daughter is so great! I have read a few comments on here about there possibly being a danger of miscarriage or other probelms when having children close together. Is there any truth to or justified research on this topic?

    • ANSWER:
      I got pregnant with my 2nd child when my first was a 12 months old and I discussed it with my Doctor as I had the same concerns as yourselves (although i appreciate your pregnancy is a little sooner after the 1st than mine was) but he said these ideas of it being dangerous come from health ideals that the womans body needs a few years to recover from the strain of birth. He, however concluded that in his opinion the only increased risk was to the woman herself, who was more likely to incur weight problems, stretch-marks and extra strain on her system. I think that if you look at all the women who have done this, its generally fine, just gives your body a bit of a knock thats all. I admire you, I wanted the small age gap too and my kids, with two years apart are very close...I love it. Goodluck and dont listen to too many horror stories x x

  37. QUESTION:
    Is it true that the chances of getting pregnant after right after giving birth is higher than normal?
    Is it true that the chance of getting pregnant right after giving birth is higher than normal? My husband and I use Natural Family Planning/Creighton method/cervical mucus method. I gave birth on March 24 and have to the go ahead from my doc to have sex after April 21st, but she couldn't tell me for sure whether or not I would ovulate between April 21 and my first period.

    Sorry if my question is confusing.
    Also, I read somewhere that you have a higher chance of having twins or triplets. Is that true?
    I had a stillborn at 38 1/2 weeks. Not breastfeeding.

    • ANSWER:
      That may be the case for women with infertility issues (as being in pregnancy gives your body a rest from the hormones and irregularities), however I think for most women your chances of pregnancy are the same as they would usually be.

      Since you use the Creighton method, I would be in close contact with your practitioner. Since you did not breastfeed, you will likely ovulate before your first period so you will need some special help to understand how to monitor your mucus patterns as they may be confusing for the first few months. But your doctor is right, you just don't know for sure if you will ovulate right away or if it might take time for your body to get going again.

      Are you interested in conceiving again right away? I had always heard to wait a few months to let your body recover since pregnancy can be tough on the body. If you don't want to conceive right away, I would be very conservative (even though it may be difficult) until you think you know where you are in your cycle. You should be able to start charting now even if you are still having some bleeding.

      I am so incredibly sorry to hear that you lost your baby so late in pregnancy. My heart goes out to you and your husband. I will keep you both in my prayers!

  38. QUESTION:
    How soon after giving birth, can you get pregnant yet again?
    My best friend had just given birth to her daughter just over 4 weeks ago. She and her boyfriend have been having sex since her bleeding stopped about 2 weeks ago. Both her and I have heard that after birth, your fertility is very high! Have any of you gotten pregnant shortly after giving birth?

    • ANSWER:
      it can happen about 6 weeks after its always good to give your body that break before going again
      my docter says that you should not try agin for that long because it can have an effect on your and maybe even the babies health
      but women do it all the time if ahe thinks she is ready

  39. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant/birth control after giving birth?
    I just got the okay from my doctor to be intimate. However, I did not start birth control yet. I don't wanna get pregnant again so should I wait a week for the birth control to kick in before having sex?

    My friend said that since I didn't get my period yet I can't get pregnant cuz I didn't ovulate. Is that right?
    I'm breastfeeding, but not exclusivly

    • ANSWER:
      The answer to that question isn't a simple one.

      Are you breastfeeding? If you are breastfeedign, then it's VERY unlikely that you'd be fertile this early. Most breastfeeding moms dont' ovulate for 6-12 months, and some don't ovulate until baby is fully weaned. AND, in fully nursing moms who do start up early, the first cycle is usually not a fertile one (not preceeded by ovulation or not hormonally adequate to support a pregnancy.) This is why LAM is such an effective (albeit not 100%) method of birth control. But if you are breastfeeding you can't use regular birth control pills -- so I hope the doctor prescribed you the mini-pill.

      If you are not breastfeeding, you could ovulate at any time. And ovulation comes first, followed, about 2 weeks later by a period. So it's best to use condoms until the birth control pills have time to take effect.

  40. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant shortly after giving birth?
    Well i had a c section 4 weeks ago, and in all honesty I was not being careful. I had intercourse before the 6 weeks was up, but I felt fine and up to it. I've actually recovered quickly from the c section.

    But exactly how dangerous is it to get pregnant shorty after having a baby? are there risks?

    • ANSWER:
      It's not dangerous to get pregnant right after having a baby, it's just not recommended, most doctors want you to be fully healed on the inside after having a baby before getting pregnant again. You are extremely fertile after giving birth, so having sex only risks getting pregnant again...and that will put a lot on your body having one right after the other like that, but it shouldn't be dangerous. Good luck.

Today is the 30th and I am experiencing light bleeding. Could this be my period or vaginal bleeding? Also, (If indeed I am pregnant) could a home pregnancy test, test positive so early? I go to my 6 week post partum check up this Thursday, could the doctors pregnancy test, test positive or accurately early?

      You are a lot more fertile just after the birth and obviously easier to get pregnant, the bleeding is nothing to do with the sex you had because you should know that it takes the fertilised egg 7-10 days to travel and implant in your womb so too early for a test and too early for the doctor to give an answer. Good Luck

    risk of getting pregnant after giving birth?
    i jus had a baby 7 days ago and sadly she passed away from suffercation 3 days ago... i was just wondering went can i have another baby. the earlyest. i wasnt planing on getting started untill maybe 3 or 4 weeks... i also had a healthy pregnacy and natural child birth no meds. and i lost more then half of my baby weight and i feel no pain after i left the hospital. please help.
    my baby liked to hold her arms up to her face and she pulled ur blanked with her arms... i found her blanket to her face.. sad... iloved her..

    • ANSWER:
      I am really sorry for your loss, but I think maybe you should consider seeking some grief counseling before you start trying to get pregnant again. I know you feel ready right now, but you might really still be in shock over your baby's death and might need time to work through your emotions before you become pregnant again. And especially since suffocation is often preventable, it might be a good idea to talk to someone about how to prevent anything similar from happening in the future. You feel like you're ready to do this again, but you might start having troubling thoughts/emotions and wondering if you really are ready, so it might help if you take some steps to really prepare to have another child before you try to get pregnant. It will help you be more confident in your decision and hopefully help you move on past this tragedy.

  45. QUESTION:
    Is there an appropriate time to get pregnant after giving birth?
    I am now 8 months pregnant and expecting my first child next month. I have talked it over with my partner and would really wish to have another child soon. Would it be possible to have a child within a month or so? I know they say to wait a long time, sometimes a year to a year and a half, but does anyone know the lasting effects of having a child one right after another? Can it hurt you or the baby? Also, is it possible to have sex before the 6 weeks waiting period? I know it is said not to be a good idea, but for what reasons? I am a little shy to ask my gynocologist, and also too scared to act on any of my ideas listed above because I dont want to risk my own health or either of my childs. Please only answer if you are positive about your answers....and note that I looked it up on the internet, both subjects, but any internet surfer knows you look up one thing and 100 other things pop up that you dont want...so help me out if you can, please!

    • ANSWER:
      It is hard on your body to get pregnant right after you have one. You risk preterm labor and even miscarriage, however, lots and lots of people do it everyday. I suggest waiting a couple months between if you really want them close together and talk to your gyno about wanting to get preggers. She can evaluate your health to make sure things are okay, though I doubt she will recommend such an early pregnacy.

      The only guidelines I would give you are for the sake of the first child, if you want them close together then the first baby should be younger than 18 months or over the age of 3 when you have a second. Between 18 months and 3 years a child is developing their sense of self and it is very hard on the psychologically to bring a new baby in during that time period. Good luck!!!

Getting Pregnant After Ectopic Pregnancy

The Risks Of Pregnancy After 30
The risks of pregnancy after 30

There is nothing more precious than bringing a new life into the world. For many women, pregnancy can be a breeze with little or no difficulties. However, many women over the age of thirty are at risk for pregnancy complications. Women in their early thirties usually have no problems with their pregnancy and deliver healthy babies. After the age of thirty-five is when most women experience difficulties and have a harder time trying to conceive. Having a baby after thirty-five can be risky for the mother and the baby. Women over the age of thirty-five are at a higher risk for miscarriages, having babies

born with birth defects, placenta previa, ectopic pregnancy, low birth weights, and delivering prematurely.

At the onset of thirty, a woman's fertility begins to decrease. A decrease in fertility can make it more difficult for a woman over thirty-five to become pregnant. However, it is possible. If a woman is still having problems after six months of trying to become pregnant, she should visit her doctor to discuss infertility and treatment options. It is a good idea for women in their mid-thirties to have a preconception appointment with their doctor to discuss preexisting conditions. Preexisting conditions such high blood pressure and diabetes can affect the pregnancy if not carefully monitored.

Miscarriages are heartbreaking and can be difficult for the parents to deal with. A little life has ended before it was introduced to the world. The majority of miscarriages occur within the first trimester

. Sometimes, a woman is not aware she is pregnant until a miscarriage occurs. Women over the age of thirty-five are at risk of having a miscarriage because of the increase probability of chromosomal abnormalities. When a cell that does not have proper amount of chromosomes, the embryo develops a chromosomal abnormality. The body will then reject the embryo resulting in a miscarriage. Miscarriages can in some cases be painful physically and emotionally. It is best for the woman to wait until she is healed both physically and emotionally to try for another baby.

As a woman gets older, the chances she will deliver a baby born with a birth defect. Birth defects are results of chromosome disorders. Down syndrome, a chromosome disorder caused by an additional chromosome twenty-one, is more common in children born to women over the age of thirty-five. Amniocentesis and other prenatal testing can help to rule out the possibility of Down syndrome and other chromosomal disorders. Children born with birth defects are more common to older women. However, there is no guarantee that a woman over the age of thirty-five will deliver a baby with a birth defect. Once prenatal testing has ruled out chromosomal disorders, older women have as good of a chance to delivering a healthy baby as a younger woman.

Women over the age of thirty-five also have the risk of developing placenta previa. Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta attaches to the lower part of the uterus and completely covers the opening to the cervix. This condition can cause heavy to severe bleeding during delivery and spotting along with uterus cramping in the first and second trimesters. Caesarean sections are usually the method of delivery for a mother with placenta previa.

Ectopic pregnancies are also more common in pregnant women over the age of thirty-five. In an ectopic pregnancy, the woman's egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube causing the baby and the placenta to grow inside the fallopian tube. Other names for ectopic pregnancy include cervical pregnancy, tubal pregnancy, and abdominal pregnancy. This type if pregnancy can be caused by a number of factors besides the mother's age including a physical blockage in the tube or previous tubal infections and or surgery. Ectopic pregnancy can cause cramping, abdominal and pelvic pain, and spotting among other symptoms.

Delivering a low birth weight baby and or delivering prematurely are also risks for mothers to be over the age of thirty-five. These risks are more common to older women delivering their first child. Women over the age of thirty-five are at an increased risk of delivering a baby under five and a half pounds and before thirty-seven weeks. These risks are increased, as a woman gets older regardless if she does not have previous chronic health conditions.

The fact there are many risks for a pregnant woman over the age of thirty-five should not discourage a woman from conceiving. A healthy diet, good prenatal care, and regular doctor visits can help to ensure the delivery of healthy baby. Following these basic rules of pregnancy can lower her risks of developing any complications.

Getting Pregnant After Depo

Getting Pregnant After Birth Control
In the movies, a girl decides she wants to get pregnant and ceremoniously throws out her birth control pills. A few scenes later, we see her with a big, swollen belly and a smile as big as the sun.

Unfortunately, it doesn't always work this way in the real world. Getting pregnant after using birth control can take time. In a lot of cases, more time than a woman and her mate might anticipate.

Birth control pills, shots and patches are designed to disrupt the normal release of an egg into the fallopian tube. To achieve this, contraceptives use hormones that also disrupt the natural flow of the body. The removal of these medications from the body entirely will take a bit of time. It might, in fact, take several cycles for the body's normal cycling to get started again.

The length of time necessary for the body to return to its normal functioning will vary depending on the type of birth control being used and the woman in question. Some women can throw out their pills and conceive on the very next cycle. Others require a bit more time.

For those who use injections, such as Depo Provera, the length of time for the cycles to return to normal can be long, even after injections have ceased. Some women see a return to normal within about three months. Other women have gone as long as 18 months following their last shot without a return to normal cycles.

When other forms of birth control are used, such as IUDs, the return to a normal cycle will also be required before pregnancy can be successful. For those who use condoms only for birth control, there is no waiting period suggested since the woman's natural cycle has not been disrupted.

It is normally recommended that a woman wait at least one full normal cycle before she tries to conceive. This simply helps the body regain its functioning before the strain of pregnancy is put on it.

Still, the wait isn't always necessary. Some women, just like in the movies, manage to get pregnant within weeks of ceasing to take birth control pills. It is very important for women to remember, however, that there is no set calendar on when fertility will return. In some cases, it simply takes a little more time than others. There is no switch that can be turned on to speed up the process.

Getting Pregnant After An Ectopic Pregnancy

The Danger of Experiencing an Ectopic Pregnancy
There are few things more exciting in the world than finding out you're pregnant. Seeing those two lines on the home pregnancy test can be a thrilling time to say the least. However, some women find out a couple of weeks later that their pregnancy is not viable because it is an ectopic pregnancy. This can be a devastating blow to women who have been trying to get pregnant.

An ectopic pregnancy is not a viable one as said earlier. In fact, it can present great danger to the mother because it can cause her fallopian tube to burst or excessive internal bleeding to happen.

An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo does not implant in the right place. Instead of traveling down the fallopian tube and implanting on the uterine wall as it should, these pregnancies will either implant inside of the fallopian tube itself or in another area such as the abdomen or cervix. Whenever this happens, there is no chance of survival for the embryo.
It's important that women take action as soon as they find out they have an ectopic pregnancy. This is because the larger the embryo grows, the more harm it will put on the mother's life. If the embryo grows larger, it can cause the fallopian tube to rupture.

Many women are able to take a particular medication if the pregnancy is in the earliest stages. However, if it goes too far then surgery will be required and the woman may lose one of her fallopian tubes. Losing a fallopian tube means her chances of getting pregnant in the future are reduced as she now only has the opportunity to get pregnant every two months.

If the embryo happens to have implanted in the wrong location, it can be a more dangerous situation. For example, if the ectopic pregnancy has implanted in the abdomen then the placenta may have attached itself to major organs. Left untreated, a woman would have to have surgery to remove the fetus and could experience hemorrhagic bleeding. This is because the placenta would have to be removed from those major organs.

No matter what the case, if a woman believes that she is experiencing an ectopic pregnancy then she needs to see her doctor immediately. In the early stages, a woman's tubes can be saved to preserve future fertility.

    • ANSWER:
      You can definitely have a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy. My mother had one and soon after got pregnant with me :) GOOD LUCK!

  3. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      I"ve had two ectopic pregnancy so there are no chances for me ever getting pregnant naturally because one of my tubes had to be cut and the other tied.

      But don't worry, my cause is very rare ...it doesn't happen very often. Your chances of having a normal pregnancy are excellent, but your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy have also increased. An ectopic pregnancy -- one that's developing outside the uterus -- is diagnosed in about one in every 100 pregnancies. More than 95% develop in the fallopian tube, but these pregnancies can also occur in an ovary, the cervix, or even the abdomen. Risk factors for them include a previous ectopic pregnancy; tubal surgery such as tubal ligation or sterilization reversal; a past tubal infection; use of an intrauterine device (IUD); use of the "morning-after" pill; use of the progesterone-only or "mini" pill; and fertility treatments including in vitro fertilization and gamete intrafallopian transfer.

      Ectopic pregnancy has traditionally been treated with surgery, which may involve removing the fallopian tube or removing the embryo. Nonsurgical treatment can be used in cases where the ectopic pregnancy is early and hasn't ruptured. It involves the injection of a chemotherapeutic medication, methotrexate, which halts the pregnancy's development.

      In general, after one ectopic pregnancy your chances of having a future pregnancy that is in the uterus are about 60-70%. But women with a history of ectopic pregnancy often have difficulty getting pregnant again, and as many as 20-30% of them end up being infertile, especially if they have any of the risk factors noted above. Your risk of having another ectopic pregnancy is much higher once you've had the first; as many as one in 10 women will have a second ectopic pregnancy. The increased risk is probably about the same whether your ectopic was treated with surgery or medication, though it's too early to have much data on this.

      Because the risk of a second ectopic pregnancy is so high, you should take precautions when you get pregnant again. If you miss a period and might be pregnant, let your doctor know right away. The first step is to find out if you are pregnant and where the pregnancy is located. This may be difficult early in the pregnancy, so be aware of the early signs of an ectopic pregnancy, such as pain and vaginal bleeding or spotting.

      With your history, your doctor may assume you're having another ectopic pregnancy until an intrauterine pregnancy can be clearly seen on ultrasound. Your doctor will examine you, do a transvaginal ultrasound, and draw your blood for an hCG level if a pregnancy is not yet visible. When the hCG rises above 2,000 mIU/mL, your doctor should be able to see an intrauterine pregnancy; the same is true around 28 days after you last ovulated (about six weeks after your last period). Sometimes an additional blood sample for hCG level is taken 48 hours after the first and compared with the first level. An hCG level that increases but is less than double the previous one is considered abnormal and suspicious of an ectopic pregnancy.

      Otherwise, your doctor will prescribe additional observation and testing. Once the pregnancy is confirmed to be inside the uterus, there's usually no further need for concern about an ectopic pregnancy

      I know the pain of trying to have a child and the pain of having had an ectopic pregnancy and from the bottom of my heart I truly wish you the best. And i am sure you'll get pregnant soon because anyone I have spoken to that is trying to get pregnant for some reason gets pregnant without two months.........I swear to you...you'll see.

    • ANSWER:
      I am so sorry for your loss.

      I suffered a miscarraige in 2001 which was devastating as I needed an op to removed the dead baby. Then, in 2005 I suffered an ectopic pregnancy and lossed my left fallopian tube. After this second loss we couldn't bear to try again as I was scared that if I have another ectopic that will be then end of my baby making days, so we put it all on hold. In September that year I found out I was expecting again and thankfully after having a scan at approx 7weeks gone I was told the baby was in the right place and had a strong heartbeat. Our Son was born in May 2006!

      I understand fully the pain and stress you are going through. You need to try to relax and it will happen for you. If you fall pregnant again see your doctor immediately who can arrange an early scan for you to put your mind at rest.

      Good luck xxx

  6. QUESTION:
    Getting pregnant after ectopic pregnancy?
    I suffered an ectopic pregnancy last year. I have 2 shots of methotrexate (one in each thigh) and was told to wait 4months before trying again. My partner is keen to get going again but im a lil aprehensive. Im scared that the same thing will happen again. Can anyone else who has suffered the same leave some comments to help me out.

    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      An ectopic pregnancy isn't really like a miscarriage - the fetus never had a chance in the wrong tube and could have easily caused you harm. After a year it should be fine and you can just hope that the little guys get the right tube this time. it's not very likely to happen again, though not impossible.

  8. QUESTION:
    How to Get Pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?
    Hi i had an Ectopic pregnancy in March this year it dissolved naturally and i didn't lose my tube, but since this has happened i have not used any contraception with my boyfriend but i'am still unsuccessful we are so desperate to have a child this year as timing is perfect, but are being relaxed about trying to conceive, so really just would like to know any ting that has helped anyone.

    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I didn't know an ectopic could disolve by itself. I had one myself and nearly died. I've also tried to get preggo again for the last 2 years after having to wait 6 months after my surgery. If you do happen to have luck in pregnancy, be sure to not neglect a docs check on your tubes asap to make sure it hasn't happened again since your chances in that tube are higher risk for it to happen again. I wish you luck and God bless you.

  9. QUESTION:
    When getting pregnant after already having an ectopic pregnancy, is it possible that you will still feel pain?
    Okay, let me explain my question a little more here. I had an ectopic pregnancy about a year ago in my left tube. I am trying to get pregnant now and recently I've been experiancing some minor pains in the same spot (left tube) where my ectopic was. Do you think it is another ectopic? Or is it normal to still feel some pains afterwards? I'm really hoping its not another ectopic and these pains are normal. Help me out here!! :)

    • ANSWER:
      no i really don't think that is normal. first you need to know if you're pregnant now. if you are you need to see your doctor and let him/her know you had an ectopic preg a year ago, so they could monitor you closely. take a blood test to be 100% sure, might end up having to do an u/s if possible and whatever happens from there .. happens. if it's not a pregnancy than that's a whole different story i wouldn't know about, but good luck!

  10. QUESTION:
    Anyone got pregnant after ectopic pregnancy?
    I have been trying for 7 months now and losing hope if I ever get pregnant :( Had my left tube removed due to ectopic. Has anyone had a succesful pregnancy after ectopic?

    • ANSWER:

  11. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?
    I had emergency surgery about 3 months ago to have one of my tubes removed. At 11 weeks my tube burst and almost killed me. My doctor tells me I'm at risk for another one and I feel so on edge to even try again. I'm wondering if there are other women out there like me... and if they wouldn't mind sharing their stories. I just feel like I'm not going to get pregnant because of all these negative thoughts. I need some positive energy! Please share! =)

    • ANSWER:
      First, let me say that I am sorry for your lost. I was pregnant in my tube July of 05. just because the doctor said you are at risk for another one does not mean that it's really gonna happen again. The best thing to do is not to worry about it. If you want it that bad, just keep trying. i will happen! I got pregnant again almost a year later,but I was so messed up (emotional) over the tubal, that I started getting the depo shot. two months after my second depo I was pregnant again. Unfortunately, that one ended in a miscarriage. Anyway, keep on keeping on...you will get pregnant again soon.

  12. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of getting pregnant after ectopic pregnancy?
    I've been pregnant twice already and the first time was about 2 years ago and I had a miscarriage, I didnt deal with it that easily but I eventually let it go because my mom told me that some women lose their first baby by miscarriage. The second time I got pregnant with my boyfriend now was in March and I only knew I was pregnant for a week and had lots of pain and went to the ER and was told I was having an ectopic pregnancy and the doctor said since I had waited so long they would have to remove one of my fallopian tubes. I would have been due this month and I really want to get pregnant again and im scared to death that I wont be able to ever carry a baby full term. I'm really upset today and I just want to know if anyone has ever been through this and did you have a successful pregnancy? Are my chances worse now due to me not having one of my tubes and the fact that I have had a miscarriage AND an ectopic pregnancy. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      I am so sorry to hear about your losses.I have also experienced these feelings. I have a 17 and 19 year old[normal pregnancies] well.about 10 years ago i tried to have another baby and i had 3 ectopic pregnancies within a year and a half. this was so traumatic for me. i almost died the 3rd time because my tube ruptured.I lost my left tube . then i got pregnant a couple years later and had a miscarriage. then i got pregnant again last November at age 37 and i have a beautiful baby girl who is almost 5 months old and she is totally healthy.i cant understand it and even have the doctors speechless, but yes you can have a normal pregnancy.I would strongly suggest that you keep up with your periods and go see a Dr asap if you are late or become pregnant because you need to be monitored in case you do have another tubal pregnancy , i almost died the last time i had a tubal pregnancy. there is also invitro as a option.i didn't use any fertility options it just happened. i know its very hard on you emotionally , but don't give up.

  13. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy 2 years ago?
    I ended up having a tube to rupture and had emergency surgery two years ago. How difficult will it be for me and my husband to try having another child? It is more risky? Will I go through the same thing? Anyway to prevent it?

    • ANSWER:
      hi im sorry to hear u had an ectopic pregnancy. i had one in february this year. after trying for 4 years. it is possible to get pregnant again. a woman i know had it 2 months before me and after 3 months she was pregnant again. a normal pregnancy and im still struggling. i havent had my period in 2 months which is unusual so hopefully this time i am. theres no way to prevent this from happening again im afraid. i know its a very hard thing to cope with also the loss of a tube isnt the best either. im like u i had to get my tube tooken out it does reduce our chanced by 3% which isnt a lot. but when u have been trying for 4 years 3% does seem like a lot to me

  14. QUESTION:
    Can I still get pregnant after having an ectopic pregnancy and had a laparoscopy last 2003?
    I found out last Jan 2003 that I am 1 1/2 months pregnant but the following week, I learned that I have an ectopic pregnancy. I was advised by my Ob Gyne that I have to undergo Laparoscopy. Since then, I have not conceived again. I've tried the basal temperature monitoring system, I took Clomid, i took the ovulation test but to no avail. I don't want to loose hope. I is my & my husbands desire to have a kid of our own. I have consulted sevral OB gynes and all f them confirmed that I can still get pregnant but I am wondering as to when. I am now 31 years old and I am looking forward to get pregnant this year. Please help me out. I need your inputs.

    • ANSWER:
      What did your doctor do during the laparoscopy? Was there any damage to the tube the ectopic pregnancy was in? Knowing these things will help you understand what lies ahead for you.

      If one tube was damaged because of the ectopic, you still do have another tube :)

      Perhaps it's time to have a good check up with your ob/gyn. Let them run a series of blood tests and xrays that will help figure out why you're not conceiving!

      If I can help you with any other information, let me know!

  16. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy and PID?
    Hi, about three year's ago i was pregnant with twins, but one was in my tubes and the other i lost. But the other baby slid down on it's own. I had her, nothing was wrong. It was all good. but about 4 months ago i got PID, and a ruptured cyst. I got treated, but they said it could of scar me. It was always kinda hard for me to get pregnant anyways. Does anyone know my chances of haveing more kid's? Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      You need to talk to your doctor - it depends on when they detected the ectopic pregnancy, if there was damage to the tube, how soon they diagnosed the pelvic inflammatory disease etc . . .

      They can do a test called an HSG where they will inject dye in the tubes, take an x-ray and check for blockage and scarring.

      Good luck & baby dust!

    can i get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?
    me and my partner has been trying 4 for years to have a baby and nothing has happened wat can we do

    • ANSWER:
      Unfortunately you are at a higher risk for another ectopic pregnancy, so make sure your ob/gyn knows about the previous ectopic pregnancy before trying to get pregnant again. But you can get pregnant and have a healthy baby.

  18. QUESTION:
    To all the woman that were able to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy and only 1 tube left..?
    This is for the woman that have experienced a ectopic pregnancy and had to have surgery and the tube removed..

    Were you still successful in becoming pregnant? If you did become pregnant after this procedure, how long did it take you to get pregnant and was it a successful and healthy pregnancy for you?
    I am currently in this situation, but very optimistic that it will all work out, but just need to hear from some of those that have already had some good luck on there side and have a healthy baby.

    Good luck to all those who are TTC and lot's of baby dust your way!!
    Also was there any fertility drugs involved? If so what kind? And were you successful the first time trying or did it take a few times?

    • ANSWER:
      My sister faced an ectopic pregnancy and had to have a tube removed, as well. About six months later, she conceived my niece. Mandi was a full term, healthy baby. The pregnancy had zero complications. Good luck to you. I hope that it works out for you!

  19. QUESTION:
    How long could it possible take to get pregnant after having an emergency ectopic pregnancy?
    removing pregnancy&removed left side fallopian tube cause of scarr tissue blocking the baby from floating so how long it take after havin surgery and wait 1month. is it possible to get pregnant like in 2 months?or more

    • ANSWER:
      First, allow me to express my sympathy for your ectopic pregnancy. It can sometimes be an emotionally and physically pain full thing to go through.

      I absolutely recommend that you first follow your doctors' instructions on how long to wait before actively trying again.

      Once you have healed up properly, I would expect that your chances of becoming pregnant again would be about the same as they were before your surgery. The statistics vary depending on your age, health, etc., and it's difficult to give a time line - some very fertile people can take several months to become pregant, and others become pregnant right away.

      The great news is that you know that you and your significant other are fertile - you have been able to become pregnant once, and will very likely get that way again quickly.

      Best of Luck to you!

  20. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant 4-6 weeks after an ectopic pregnancy?
    I had an ectopic pregnancy in March which resulted in my right fallopian tube being removed. My surgery occurred on March 28th, 2008 and since then I have not had a period. During the last two weeks I have been nauseated and my breast have been really sore...is it possible for me to be pregnant again so soon? And if so, could that be dangerous?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, it is possible. I know when I had my ectopic pregnancy surgery three months ago, my doctor advised us to wait until after I'd had two normal periods before trying to conceive again. This was just to give your body time to heal (and for you to start to heal emotionally too.) But there isn't anything physically keeping you from getting pregnant before then and actually you can be extra fertile after just being pregnant. Has your doctor been checking your hcg levels since your surgery? They should be checked until the level goes back down to zero. Until then, your body still can feel pregnant even though the fetus was removed. Also, I know my PMS symptoms have been much worse than they ever were before my EP. I would check with your doctor if you're really worried. I know we are supposed to call the doctor immediately once we find out we're pregnant again because after having an EP, you're considered high risk at the beginning of the pregnancy. They need to monitor you closely to make sure this next pregnancy proceeds normally and that the fetus implants itself in the correct place this time. I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you luck in the future!

  21. QUESTION:
    Scared to try to get pregnant after ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage!?
    My husband and I tried for years after the birth of our first daughter to have another child with no luck. In 2003 my doctor told us that my tubes do not look good and that she doubts I will get pregnant but if I do I have a high chance of having a tubal /ectopic pregnancy so for my health we stopped trying but did not prevent. In 2006 I found out I was pregnant everything turned out great and I have a healthy little boy. Then in 2007 I found out we were expecting again that pregnancy turned out to be my miscarriage. Now in 2009 we decided to have another child and I again got pregnant I knew right away something was not right I started bleeding and having minor cramps I went to my doctor she checked my hcg levels and they were rising like they were suppose to so she scheduled an ultrasound and they could not find a sac or baby so she sent me in to have a methotrexate shot which made me so sick. I than followed up on my hcg levels and they were still rising so I had to then go for another methotrexate shot in which I got even sicker. It was such an emotional roller coaster for me I knew I was doing what I had to do in terminating the pregnancy but at the same time I felt like I was killing my unborn child.

    Now 2 months later my husband wants to try again! I want so badly to have another child I grew up in a big family and wanted the same thing for my other children and myself but I am so scared of going through all of that again. My doctor also stated she thinks I should try again one more time but if that turns into another ectopic / tubal pregnancy that I should give up. I am so lost, sad, and scared and do not know what to do! :(

    • ANSWER:
      We tried for 3 yrs to get pg with our first child, finally did, and then at 6-8 wks discovered it was ectopic. I also had the shots to induce termination and felt horrible, much like you described.

      Listen up - You did NOT kill your child. In fact these cells never were or could have been a child. You HAD to do what you did, there was no other option. It took me some time to believe this for myself, but I truly do now.

      Okay, now that is out of the way... after our ectopic, we started trying again after a few months and about 6 months later got pg, no complications. She's 19 months old now. :-D

      I think you should give yourself some time to heal, since you still feel pretty emotional (understandably!) before you decide. Find out what the chances are of another ectopic (since your dr said your tubes were "bad") and decide if you can live with that risk. If it's really important to have another child, maybe the risk is worth it. If you can't take the risk but really want another child, you could talk about in vitro or adopting. There are always options.

      My best advice is to give yourself time to deal with your loss before you do anything. Maybe join a support group or talk to a counselor for some extra support.

      Last of all, you have one precious child already and make sure she knows above all else that she is ENOUGH for you.

      Good luck and best wishes!

  25. QUESTION:
    can you still get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      Of course you can - depending on what the doctors had to do for the ectopic, you still at the very least have one side of your falliopians and ovaries able to get you pregnant

  26. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant right after ectopic pregnancy?
    If there was no or little damage to my uterus and tube after an ectopic pregnancy, can somebody get pregnant after the ectopic fast? This may seem like a silly question but I heard that after a "regular" pregnancy women are more fertile. So since I would have experienced those hormones during my ectopic pregnancy, does this make me more fertile is I had little damage to my internal organs? My OBGYN claims that I am perfectly healthy and shouldn't have problems getting pregnant. He also claims I am fertile. So I guess I just want to know if my chances are increased, decreased or the same.
    *** I am not looking to find out the odds of another ectopic...I am aware. I just want to know chances of conception.

    • ANSWER:
      If your doctor is giving you the ok. Dont stress. Im sure next time around everything will be fine.And yes im sure you are very fertile since you had the same pregnacy hormones. Since your body is in that stage your body is prepared to nurture again. Good luck!

  27. QUESTION:

  28. QUESTION:
    Pregnant after Ectopic Pregnancy?
    I got pregnant back in Dec 2008. I had to get injected with medication to dissolve the baby. Ok now I just found out Im pregnant again in April 2009. I also have a small cyst on my ovary. Should I be worried that it may be an ectopic again. Any success stories??????

    • ANSWER:
      I am in the Medical Field

      Most ECTOPIC Pregnancies occur in the Fallopian Tube even though the fetus can attach to the cervix or ovary..

      Make sure your OB/GYN monitors you closely as it may only be a CYST... He or she should do a TRANS VAGINAL Ultrasound to be sure the fetus implanted into the uterus

      Please do NOT give yourself added stress as this is NOT good for you or the pregnancy.. Until you hear otherwise from your doctor you are PREGNANT and it is a HEALTHY PREGNANCY

      FINGERS CROSSED and GOOD LUCK

  29. QUESTION:
    How long did it take you to get pregnant again after having an ectopic pregnancy in the tube? ?
    Was the pregnancy successful?

    • ANSWER:
      It took my friend no time at all.

      In the time i have been ttc with no pregnancy, my friend has been pregnant and had an ectopic and so had her tube and ovary removed AND got pregannt again and is now about 25 week.

      She must have got pregnant the first time she had sex after her surgery healed.

      Everything is fine with the baby.

  30. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant again after experiencing an ectopic pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually the answer would be yes, but it depends on the amount of damage that was done, if the tube burst or if there was any thing done to block off that tube it will be more difficult because you only ovulate from alternating tubes each month, so in the months that you would release and egg from the side that was damaged, you may not be able to get pregnant that month, but if no damage was done to the tube than you should have the same chances you had before, and unless both tubes are completely blocked or some surgery was done that blocked them both than you still have a pretty good chance. My friend had this happen to her, her tube burst and everything and they had to operate on the one side and close that tube but they still got pregnant several months later and had a healthy little boy!

    Is it possible to get pregnant straight after an ectopic pregnancy.?
    unfortunately I had an ectopic pregnancy at almost 6weeks pregnant. I had surgery and my right tube was removed but I was told be doctors that the remaining tube is fine. Its now 6 weeks and a couple of days since I under went surgery but I have still not had my period. Everything else seemed to be fine up until a week ago when I started having lower back pain again on and off for two days, I thought it was my period coming but then I remembered that I had same pains before I knew I was pregnant the last time. I also have some other early pregnancy signs such as nausea, bad taste in mouth and my boobs appear to be very vainy all of a sudden. Could I be pregnant or is it just my body returning to normal?? ANy ideas much appreciated as I no longer have faith in my GP.
    My GP said that my period could take up to 3 months to return. Also this was a miracle pregnancy as i was told after my sons birth 14 years ago i could not have anymore children, was never expecting to ever get pregnant again definately not a second time, im not trying but it would be wonderful.

      have more than one source, ask more than on gp on the matter

  33. QUESTION:
    falling pregnant again after an ectopic pregnancy?
    i had an ectopic pregnany removed on the 17th Janurary - at the time i was 3 months pregnant. they also removed my tube. anyway i have been to the doctors and they say everything is fantastic and i am able to start trying again but is it possible i'm already pregnant again?

    i still havent had my period (its been almost 5 weeks since the op)- but i have similar symtoms now like i did back then when i was pregnant.

    i have been getting frequent headaches, i have been going to the toilet more often, and i have HEAPS of cervical mucus (at first i thought ovulation but it hasnt stopped), i have been really moody for no reason at all and sometimes i fell like my period is about to start but nothing.

    is it physicaly possible i am pregnant again?

      yea its possible but u wont know for sure til u take a test

  34. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant after have your tubes tied? Not an ectopic but a normal pregnancy?
    Had tubes tied at 27. Am 28 with two kids.

    • ANSWER:
      Possibly, If tubal ligation is going to fail it is most likely to fail in the first 2 years.

  35. QUESTION:
    Can I still get pregnant after a ectopic pregnancy?
    Although I am very scared this may happen again I do want another baby.

    • ANSWER:
      First, I am very sorry for your loss. My mother had an ectopic and went on to have 3 more kids so 5 total. The last one was conceived even after having her one good tube tied!
      I know its hard to trust everything will be okay after having a molar, ectopic or miscarriage. I mean you imagine so many things can go wrong. However, the only thing we can do is trust it will be okay. Stress can be bad on your body especially in pregnancy.
      After my early miscarriage between baby 1 and 2nd I was petrified when I got pregnant again! I had really bad cramps and kept running to the bathroom expecting to see blood!~ Finally my 17th week my mother reminded me that IF something was wrong there was nothing I could do. I had to trust the Lord. Once I was really able to give it to HIM I stopped being as stressed and was finally able to enjoy the pregnancy.
      One thing you can do is talk to your doc and have them put your fears at ease.

      I will pray for you. I think this time things will be fine! Best of luck and blessings :)

  37. QUESTION:
    after having an ectopic pregnancy how soon can i get pregnant?
    i had an ectopic pregnancy about 3 weeks ago. and me and my husband want to ty again. how soon can we start trying and how can i tell which tube is ovulating considering i only have one left. which is on my right side?

    • ANSWER:
      I was told to wait 3 months after the surgery to remove my ectopic pregnancy and left fallopian tube. It takes time for your body to heal. While ttc this last child I used ovulation predictor kit's to determine my fertile period (along with charting). I read in Taking Charge of Your Fertility that after you ovulate the lymph node in your groin hardens on the side you ovulated from. But that only tells you after the fact. So, you just have to treat each month the same, assume it's the right side and hope for the best! Good Luck.

    Trying to get pregnant after tubal or ectopic pregnancy ruptures?
    Last Monday I had a tubal pregnancy rupture and had the left tube removed. My doctor is very encouraging, but says it will be more difficult to get pregnant again. I have been TTC for two+ years and had a few pregnancies that ended in miscarriage. Anyone else go through this or have any tips? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I had my left rupture also and was told I should be ok to have another be, well I have 2 more ectopics since my first on. My 3rd ectopic was diagnosed on Sept 15, 2009. Sorry i dont have any tips..but good luck !!

  41. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant again after ectopic pregnancy?
    We are devastated to find out today in the ER my much anticipated, first pregnancy is ectopic. They did an US and that confirmed everything. I was given two shots to dissolve everything and they compared it to chemo! My Husband and I are just so numb. We have been trying for over a year now and this is such a major blow. Do we have hope? Has anyone gone on to have a normal, healthy pregnancy? How long did it take? I am so disappointed w/ my ob/gyn bc she wasn't going to do an US for another two weeks, even after my HCG went down a bit. We have been using fertility meds, clomid and metformin for about 3 months before. What would your next step be? I am scared to even think about 'trying' and this happening all over again! Why did this have to happen????? :(

    • ANSWER:
      Just give your body a few weeks to heal and go back to normal and then you can start trying again when you feel ready. This must have been a huge blow to both you and your husband, but yes it is possible to get pregnancy again after an ectopic pregnancy.

      I am sorry you are going through all of this. Give yourself some time and then when both of you are ready, try again. The chances of having another ectopic pregnancy is slim so you should be fine.

      Good Luck

  44. QUESTION:
    if i have an ectopic pregnancy after a tubal ligation does that means i can get pregnant again?
    And all the pregnancies will be tubals ones? I just have one removed 4 days ago and just wondering

    • ANSWER:
      An ectopic pregnancy after a tubal does mean the tubal didn't work- there was enough room for the sperm to get through the tube to the egg but not enough for the fertilized egg to get back through. Since they usually remove the entire tube when the ectopic pregnancy is removed, you won't be in danger of pregnancy from that side. The question is whether the other tube is completely sealed off or not. Your doctor can check by having some gas blown through the uterus into the tube. They may be able to do it in the office or in the day surgery center.

  45. QUESTION:
    getting pregnant after an ectopic?
    i'm 19. 2 months ago i found out i was having an ectopic pregnancy, the doctors gave me methotrexate to end the pregnancy but it didn't work as my hcg level rose from 620 to 1004 so i had to have surgery to remove my left tube. me and my partner really want to start trying for a baby again my doctor says there is no reason for me not to. has anyone else had the same thing and how long did it take you to get pregnant again???

    • ANSWER:
      I had an ectopic March 2010. I went through 2 rounds of the methotrexate shots and I finally got pregnant at the end of October. It was def a rough road since the methotrexate sure did a number on me and made me very sick. It also had me skipping every other period. It was a very hard time for me and my husband but we are now 27.6 weeks pregnant with a little girl. I know that our situations are a little different but don't give up. Good luck to you.

Getting Pregnancy Tips

Tips for getting pregnancy
5 Best positions to get pregnant fastGetting pregnant maybe the easiest of all things, however, some couples do find it hard to conceive for several reasons, including weak or insufficient sperm count.
In some cases, as when nature needs a boost, a little push from you and your partner can go a long way in getting pregnant. When it comes to the best position to get pregnant, the general rule is that the male sperm must be deposited as near to the female cervix as possible.
This has something to do with the life spans of the female egg and the male sperm. Once an egg is released from the ovary a stage also known as ovulation it begins its path down the fallopian tube to the uterus. A released egg typically survives for only 24 hours, while a sperm can last anywhere from three to five days in the female body. As such, the egg has to be as close to the egg as possible so they can meet and join before the egg dies.
While not a lot of people will agree that the sexual positions have anything to do with getting pregnant, the logical inference is that it makes sense to assume the position that can help the sperm meet the egg in the shortest possible time.
This is especially true when for couples who have problems or difficulty conceiving. Having said this, the first "best position to get pregnant" tip is to avoid positions that least expose the cervix to the male sperm, and that generally defy gravity such as sex while standing up, sitting down, or with the woman on top. When trying to conceive, it is best to limit the amount of sperm that flows back out of the vagina.
The woman's hips should also be positioned in such a way that the sperm released is kept inside, giving it enough time to swim up to the female cervix.
Consider the following positions instead:
1. The missionary position. Or man-on-top is said to be the position that's best for getting pregnant. This is because this particular position allows for the deepest possible penetration, making it possible for the sperm to get deposited closest to the cervix.
2. Raise the hips. Elevating the hips, which can be done by placing a pillow behind her, can also be helpful because this exposes the female cervix to as much semen as the male can release.
3. Doggy-style. The rear-entry position where the man enters the woman from behind is also a recommended position. In this position, sperm is also deposited closest to the cervix, thereby helping increase the chances of conception.
4. Side-by-side. You can also try having intercourse while lying side by side. This position likewise causes the most exposure of the cervix to the male sperm.
5. Orgasms. Finally, while this has nothing to do with sexual positions, there are also researches that suggest the importance of the female orgasm in conceiving. According to studies, female orgasm leads to contractions that could push sperm up into the cervix. The lesson: have fun while trying to conceive.
How to Get Pregnant Fast and Naturally- If you want to learn how to get pregnant fast, this article reviews a proven program.
Most couples think they know how to get pregnant. However, not all couples will meet this challenge with success. Infertility is a devastating condition that affects one in every six couples. This article will provide a resource that promises to help infertile couples become pregnant quickly and naturally.
If are serious about becoming fertile, check out this proven program to learn how to get pregnant naturally.
Most couples believe that when the time comes to have children, getting pregnant will be a snap. The sad truth is that it doesn't always work that way. Infertility is generally diagnosed after a couple has been trying to get pregnant for at least a year. At that time, most doctors will begin a series of tests and treatment to try to help the couple achieve their goal of a healthy baby.
Unfortunately, those medical procedures do not always work. They can also be painful, embarrassing and expensive since insurance doesn't always cover the cost. In some cases, they can raise the risk of some types of cancer or birth defects in the children that are conceived. Have you have survived the medical process and are still wondering, how can I get pregnant? The good news is that there is another option available.
Lisa Olsen knew the pain of infertility for fourteen years. When she finally became frustrated with the lack of success she saw with medical doctors and procedures, she forged her own path to pregnancy. She began studying how to get pregnant using a multitude of natural methods to make pregnancy more likely. Many did not work, but she eventually found a program that helped her conceive and carry not one, but two beautiful, healthy babies to term.
At this point, Olsen began trying out her system on other women who wanted to know how to get pregnant fast. She shared all of her tips to get pregnant and saw them work with women over and over again. Most women achieved pregnancy within a month or two. That's when Olsen decided to put her findings into a book titled Pregnancy Miracle. This way, she could share her findings with women around the world who were saying, "I want to get pregnant!"
If you have been having trouble getting pregnant and feel like traditional medicine is not helping, check out Olsen's book. This resource is a valuable tool for teaching couples how to get pregnant by fixing the underlying cause of the infertility.

How to get pregnant.How to Get Pregnant Do you come under the group of couples who are not able to conceive a baby quickly? Read on to find out how to get pregnant and when to consult your doctor.
Events leading to conception
The first step towards conception is ovulation. Ovulation is the release of the egg by the ovaries on receiving signals from the hormones in your pituitary gland. The timing of ovulation varies in different women, but generally it occurs close to the 14th day of the menstrual cycle.
This is the best time to have regular sex so that the egg that moves from the ovaries to the fallopian tube unites with the sperm for conception. The egg can survive only for 24 hours to unite with the sperm. The life span of the sperm after ejaculation depends on the environment. Sperm ejaculated into the women's vagina can survive in the cervical mucous and fertilize the egg in three to five days. Sperm ejaculated outside the body can survive only for a few hours.
If the egg does not fertilize you will have periods as usual. If fertilization occurs the fertilized egg will attach itself to the uterine lining in a couple of day's time. Regular periods will stop at this point of time because you are pregnant.
Finding out when you are most chances of conception
The period when ovulation occurs is your most fertile period and this phase holds the maximum chances of conception. However determining when ovulation occurs can be a pretty daunting task.
If you have a regular 28 day cycle you are most fertile around the 14th day after the day the last period began as this is the time ovulation happens. If you have long cycles determine the number of days in your shortest cycle and minus 18 from it. The most fertile phase is the week next to these many days ahead of the day on which your next period starts. You can track the fertility period on an ordinary calendar. However the counting of days may be complicated for women with irregular menstrual cycles. Moreover ovulation periods may be affected by exercise, stress and ailments.
Other indicators of ovulation phase
During the ovulation phase there will be augmented secretions of clear, slimy, cervical mucous. These secretions look like egg whites. A simple inspection of the vagina will help identify the nature of the secretions. After ovulation the secretions become hazy or disappear completely. This is an accurate indicator of ovulation but is also somewhat subjective as regards judgment of appearance of the secretions. You also have to take the trouble of checking the vagina for secretions.
Your body temperature while at rest is called the basal body temperature. Ovulation raises body temperature by 0.5 to 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest chances of pregnancy are when the high temperature consistently prevails for two or three days. You can measure your basal temperatures with an oral thermometer each morning before getting up from bed. Check out the patterns by plotting the thermometer on a graph paper.
This method is inexpensive as you have to spend money only on the thermometer. It helps to track the ovulation in each month. This will help in finding out if there is a consistent pattern over the months. However a number of disadvantages are posed by this method. The temperature increases may be too obscure to be noticed. The temperature sometimes rises long after ovulation has occurred. The temperature has to be preferably taking during the same time each day. This may be difficult especially if you have different work or sleep schedules.
For some women ovulation causes mild abdominal cramps.
Use of ovulation screening kits
Ovulation testing kits are available for purchase over the counter without any prescriptions. They help to test your urine for the increased presence of hormones prior to ovulation. It is important to follow kit usage instruction carefully for precise and reliable results. Ovulation kits not only point out the time when you are most fertile but they also alert you before the ovulation actually occurs. The flip side of Ovulation kits is that they are pretty expensive. You may have to shell even 50 dollars for each test. Use of these kits also creates the proclivity towards performance of sex at targeted precise times which can often go off beam by being too late.
Faster ways towards conception
To get pregnant you need to have sex almost two or three times each week. This will help fertilization to occur at some time or the other. There is no such thing as too much sex especially for couples in the pink of health. In fact having sex each day during the period when ovulation is most likely increases possibility of pregnancy. Healthy men will not face too much reduction in sperm quality each time they have sex. Frequent unprotected sex will lead to conception within a year in healthy couples.
Preconception planning by consulting a doctor is especially beneficial to assess your overall health status. The doctor can point out the lifestyle changes that you need to make to help you conceive faster. This also helps to address health and fertility issues of both you and your partner to facilitate faster conception.
Lifestyle alterations To increase the odds of conceiving making lifestyle changes would have positive results. Eating a balanced diet and maintaining normal weight by exercising regularly is advantageous. Eat healthy and keep away from stress. Intake of vitamins aids conception.
Avoid smoking as tobacco may prevent the sperm from fertilizing with the egg by altering the cervical mucous. It also leads to miscarriage. After conception it can leave your baby bereft of oxygen and nutrients. It is hence vital to take your doctor's help to quit smoking before conception.
Alcohol is also to be strictly avoided if you are trying to conceive. Some medications including over the counter drugs are known to prevent conception. Some should not be consumed by pregnant mothers. Folic acid or Vitamin B-9 is important for a baby's growth. Ensuring prenatal and first trimester folic acid consumption is useful to prevent spina bifida and neural tube defects to a large extent.
When to seek medical help
Couples in their twenties and early thirties who are hale and hearty need not consult a doctor for one year from the day they try to conceive. However if you don't conceive after threshold period of one year it is time to seek medical help. 10-15% of the couples in the United States are classified as infertile implying that they have been trying to conceive for a minimum period of one year without success.
For couples in their late thirties a doctor's help for conception is imperative as soon as they decide to conceive. This also applies to women whose periods are more than 35 days long and for couples where either partner or both partners suffer from fertility issues.
Infertility may hit both men and women. Through appropriate treatment the problem can be solved. The essence is to trace out the root of the problem. This can be done with the help of an expert gynecologist, your spouse's urologist and family doctor. If none of this works you can seek help from a fertility expert for advanced treatment.
These tips will help you get pregnant provided you have the necessary patience and lady luck by your side.
So many women struggle for years, wondering how to get pregnant, unable to conceive despite all their tireless efforts. Some women suffer from infertility; others have let the years slip by before starting a family and suddenly wake up in their 30s or 40s faced with the harsh reality of being unable to conceive. Suddenly that cherished dream of starting a family begins to fade and give way to the bitter disappointment of living a childless life.

Does Being Deficient In Vitamins Affect Fertility In Women? How to Get Pregnant Tips and Tricks
I'm a bit worried I can't have kids I've been anemic in the past and I don't really have a balanced diet so I'm probably low in some vitamins and minerals. I was just wondering: does this play a major part in a woman's fertility and if so would eating a balanced diet and taking vitamin supplements help or is the damage already done - if you're infertile due to this, as I've been trying to conceive for 4 months and no luck so far....?

This one of the question I get asked when women want to know the role that vitamins have to play as far as infertility and fertility is concerned. In this article, I will try to explain this, and also provide link to websites where you can go to seek help for naturally improving your fertility.

I got pregnant after starting a new vitamin. I don't know if it has much to do with it but I took it for a month and half before I got pregnant. However, you are going to want to get a lot of folic acid for a healthy baby. Folic acid is a b vitamin. The average time for someone to get pregnant is 6 months to a year and half. Just keep an eye out for cervical mucus about the middle of your cycle. Especially after a BM (Easiest time to spot it) that is the right time to conceive. But make sure you have enough folic acid in your diet for a couple of months for the health of your child.
Many people thing that vitamin deficiency doesn't play a major role in infertility, but does have a part to play for some women. However for you to get pregnant, everything should be working properly in your system. That is why making sure you have the right vitamins for fertility is a good thing to insure. As already said, try improving your diet especially by taking folic acid.

There is also this great infertility cure guide called the pregnancy miracle guide which has been helping many of my loved ones to get pregnant naturally. This guide has a great 7 step holistic infertility cure system that tackles infertility from all angles, not just dietary (vitamins) or sex positions etc. with this system; you have a greater chance to naturally conceive, just as thousands of other women round the world have done using the 7 step holistic infertility cure recommendation in the guide.

Getting Pregnant After 40

Top Prenatal Vitamins For Getting Pregnant After 40
Increasing chances of getting pregnant can be important, especially for women over 40. Taking the top prenatal vitamins is one of the best tricks to getting pregnant fast. Below you'll find a recommended prenatal vitamin for every situation, plus some additional help on your quest in trying to conceive a baby.

The good news is that pregnancy after 40 isn't as difficult as it used to be. A getting pregnant calendar should be your first step: make sure you carefully mark the days of your cycle in order to maximize your chances. Knowing your ovulation date is the single most important factor when it comes to conceiving a child, so make sure you and your partner are aware of when these days are.

The best pregnancy food to eat includes anything that will help you stay energized. Balance proteins such as meats, fish, eggs and poultry against healthy carbohydrates like fruit, nuts, and whole grains or cereals. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated, and try to increase your physical activity so that you're getting at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. Getting pregnant after 40 requires your body to be in the best possible shape, both for you and your future baby.

The best pregnancy vitamins include supplements that your body may no longer be getting enough of. As a woman advances in age her metabolism decreases, and the breaking down of food and nutrients isn't as efficient as it used to be. Trying to conceive a baby while your body is deficient of essential minerals can be an uphill battle, which is why the following recommended prenatal vitamin regimen should be considered:

* Folic Acid - This supplement is a must have. It's the number one pre-pregnancy vitamin prescribed to women of any age, and it's an important part of early fetal development. You should make sure Folic Acid is at the top of your list.

* Iron - Getting enough iron can be a problem as you get older. For women who are anemic, iron is especially important. Make sure you're getting your daily recommended allowance.

* Calcium - As you probably already know, calcium breakdown can be a common female problem as age increases. Ovulation and getting pregnant requires that you get more than enough of this vital element.

* DHA - Many top prenatal vitamins include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This is an omega-3 fatty acid normally found in fish that is important for brain and heart development and health. Because women trying to become pregnant often limit their intake of fish due to concerns about mercury, they sometimes miss out on getting enough DHA in their diet. Make up for it here.

* Alpha Lipoic Acid - Essential to producing energy at a cellular level, C0Q10 and alpha lipoic acid are fairly expensive and not commonly found in most prenatal supplements... but these nutrients can have incredibly powerful effects on your body's function. If you can work these into your budget, they're certainly worth it.

* Zinc - Want to really boost fertility? Zinc has been shown to do just that, in numerous studies. It can be taken while trying to get pregnant in order to stimulate fertility and you should continue to take it while pregnant to help in the development in your baby's tissues.

* Vitamin B6 - Not only do the B-complex vitamins help give you an energy boost, but this particular supplement has been proven to decrease symptoms of morning sickness. By increasing chances of getting pregnant with this mineral, you're also helping out with how you'll feel once you've already conceived.

No matter how old you are, it's never a bad idea to be on the best pregnancy vitamin plan possible. It's also important to realize that there are foods that you should avoid while trying to get pregnant, and over the counter medications and herbal remedies that could be counterproductive to having a baby. On the flip side of the coin, there are many that can actually help in Getting pregnant after 40.

Unfortunately, because so many women are desperate to get pregnant, drug and pharmaceutical companies are selling expensive prescription fertility pills in hopes of cashing in on this desperation. And of course many snake oil salesmen have appeared with fraudulent claims of instant fertility cures. These fertility drugs have been proven to lead to an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. The truth of the matter is that infertility is a message telling your body that something is wrong on the inside. Instead of relying on dangerous prescription pills to get pregnant, you should take the route that Mother Nature has provided.

Get Woman Pregnant

Positions to Get Pregnant
Do you want to maximize your chances by using certain positions to get pregnant? This is a consideration that many couples make when they are planning a pregnancy to start their families. This question is not new. Many cultures around the world advocate special positions that help couples in their quest to get pregnant. The suggestions for these positions vary widely by culture, so they may not be very credible. However, there are some positions that have been shown by the scientific world to slightly improve your chances of conception, so you may want to employ them during your efforts.

If you are trying to get pregnant, these positions might be worth a try, however, it is not one of the most significant factors in determining whether or not you get pregnant. It is the woman's ovulation combined with successful sexual intercourse that result in pregnancy. Most likely, whatever you are already doing will do the job.
One position that has been shown to slightly improve the chance of conception is intercourse with the man on top, the so-called "missionary position." This position naturally allows the man to ejaculate into the woman, with the semen flowing toward her uterus. This can be helpful for some couples who are trying to get pregnant.

Another position that can help you to get pregnant is any one of the positions that allow the couple to climax simultaneously. When a woman experiences an orgasm, the muscles of her vagina and uterus contract rapidly, helping the sperm to be drawn into the uterus. If the man ejaculates at the same time that she experiences orgasm, then this muscular action is utilized to increase the chances for conception. This fact is a strong argument to persuade you to continue with whatever positions that you as a couple both enjoy. If you can orgasm at the same time in a particular position, then this may increase your chances of getting pregnant.

One final consideration for positions that can help you to get pregnant is whether or not the semen leaks out immediately. If the semen is immediately flushed from the area after intercourse, this may reduce the chances of conceiving a baby at that time. Loss of the semen definitely does not make it impossible to get pregnant, but it may reduce the chances, and you are trying to maximize your chances.

It should be noted that sperm are capable of swimming, so you do not necessarily need to help them reach the uterus. They are naturally made to be able to accomplish this without any extra help. For the most part, trying some different positions with your partner in order to get pregnant provides more fun than scientific advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    When I get a sex change will I able to make a woman pregnant?
    My lifelong dream is to impregnate the woman I love.

    I am getting a sex change next week and want to know if I will be able to do this, cause if not my entire dreams are shattered.

    • ANSWER:
      No, you can't

      My life long dream is for TROLLS to learn what the hell their talking about before they ask questions about a subject they obviously don't know anything about.

  2. QUESTION:
    If you kill a pregnant woman who is on her way to get an abortion, what should you be charged with?
    One or two homicides?

    • ANSWER:
      One homicide, darling. If she was on her way to get an abortion, then the embryo she was carrying was incapable of independent survival outside her uterus, and was not alive yet...it had the potential for life, but did not have actual life.

      Only one victim...one homicide.

      After viability, it would depend on the local laws...but after viability, she would not likely be going to get an abortion...but even if she was, her intent would be irrelevant at that point.

      (((cynic)))

      Oh dear...poor NCWJ seems to be suffering from a severe attack of holier-than-thouism...how else could any sentient being justify the absolute, breathtaking hypocrisy of condemning a woman for committing an act that he considers murder, but promising an eternal reward to someone who retaliates and commits an act that ANYONE would consider murder?

      No Chance, you generally irritate me, but this time, you've managed to nauseate me, too. Disgusting.

      That "turn the other cheek, love thine enemies" stuff getting too namby-pamby for you?

      We expect that kind of hatred from a misogynistic dimwit like Joe Cooker, but considering your endless claims to be better and more moral than other mere humans, and given your constant self-admiration for what you so clearly believe to be your own superiority and excellence, it's a bit shocking to see how little you even attempt to follow through on those claims.

      Well go to the foot of our stairs...that's not NCWJ...and now (gah) I have to (urk) apologize to him for not being able to tell that this answer was from a Poe...and reacting vehemently.

  3. QUESTION:
    What are the risks of getting a woman pregnant if the male is wearing a condom?
    I heard there's only a few days in the month a woman can get pregnant. Which are these days in relation to her period?

    I want to make sure I don't have a kid until my 30s, so thanks for helping!

    • ANSWER:
      Day 14-16 of her cycle are her most fertile. That translates to roughly 2 weeks before her period. So avoid sex on those days. Your risk of getting her pregnant while wearing a condom is veeeeeeeeery low. They can fail, but it's very uncommon.

  4. QUESTION:
    Can a man with Erectile dysfunction ejaculate in a woman and get her pregnant?
    I was curious if men with Erectile problems can still get a woman pregnant. My boyfriend has erectile dysfunction and we had unprotected sex. Is it still possible for me to get pregnant? Can a man with that type of problem even ejaculate or is it impossible for them?

    • ANSWER:
      Erectile Dysfunction means that the man would have trouble getting and/or maintaining an erection. Ejaculation is a completely different issue. So long as he can ejaculate and is producing viable sperm, he can still get you pregnant. If you've engaged in unprotected sex within the last 72 hours, you can still take Plan B, which is an emergency contraceptive available at your local pharmacy without a prescription. Also, unless your boyfriend is older than 40, he shouldn't be having ED. If he is, he should see his physician as soon as possible as this can be an indication of several serious conditions which include, but are not limited to, insufficient testosterone, Prolactin-secreting tumors, heart disease, cardiovascular problems; the list goes on.

      Get your boyfriend to the doctor and get Plan B.

  5. QUESTION:
    If an army soldier gets a woman pregnant, does he have to marry her or else face a dishonorable discharge?
    A friend of mine is home on leave. He is going back in two days and his, now, ex girlfriend is saying that she is pregnant. I can't really ask him a bunch of questions right now because he will get on the defensive side. But, I really wanted to know if he will be dishonorably discharged if he gets a woman pregnant that he is not married to. Any help on this matter would be great!

    • ANSWER:
      NO he will not be discharged. BUT if she is pregnant she can ask for child support and he must give it to her or the military WILL take it from him. But no he will not be discharged. I would make her take a pregnancy test to prove it and then if she is a DNA test to prove it was his.

  6. QUESTION:
    Can semen soak through a sanitary pad and possibly get a woman pregnant on her period?
    I know there is that clear part where it sticks to the woman's underwear, so what are the chances of a woman getting pregnant?

    It wasn't a whole load, a little bit got onto her gym shorts and it was a little higher up near her mons pubis. Do you think sperm could have soaked through her underwear and through the sanitary pad and swam up the blood to her vagina?

    • ANSWER:
      Ah! we are talking about great swimmers here....lol

      Quote:
      "Can sperm travel through clothing or material? If the clothing was completely saturated with semen and was in direct contact with a woman’s vagina, there is a very slight chance the sperm could enter the vagina, but this is highly unlikely. No conclusive studies have been found to give a definite answer on this possibility."

      I would suggest you take a look at the website below!

  7. QUESTION:
    What is the probability, shown in percent, that a healthy paraplegic man will get a healthy woman pregnant?
    I have been searching the web for some solid statistics that state what percentage of the time a completely paralyzed paraplegic (T12) who is young & in otherwise good health can impregnate a young healthy woman via traditional intercourse. -What is the probability that a woman who has unprotected sex with a paraplegic will get pregnant?
    Yeah I know there are other methods to get pregnant, we were just wondering what the chances were as a percentage that I will get pregnant in the traditional way. (Like 1% or something)

    • ANSWER:
      Spinal chord paraplegic at T12 has very slim chances of copulating in TRADITIONAL WAY.
      Assisted reproduction is possible.
      Most of the time, the paraplegic will have retrograde ejaculation (=ejaculate into the bladder). Therefore without the aid of Reproductive personalities, the paraplegic has zero chances of impregnating a healthy women in normal traditional way.
      What we usually do is:
      1. catherise the patient and empty the bladder
      2. then we apply heat to the prostate via rectum.
      3. If any semen comes out through the urethra, we will collect and keep it.
      4. Next we will again catherise the patient fish out the retrograde ejaculatory fluid and this way we may be able to harvest certain quantity spermatozoa.
      5. From the ejaculatory fluid we fish out most healthy spermatozoa and preserve it for future assisted reproduction.
      6. Then we stimulate the lady for the ovum production.
      7. We then harvest the 2 or 3 ova and fuse the ovum artificially in the laboratory.
      8 Let it grow upto the stage of ZYGOTE and then introduce it into the uterus. (IVF)
      So many expertise and so many procedures, everything in term of money.

  8. QUESTION:
    Can a guy take prenatal vitamins for women to help increase the chance of getting a woman pregnant?
    A friend told me that if a guy took prenatal vitamins for women that it increases the chance for a woman to get pregnant if she is unable to get pregnant. Is this true or just bs?

    • ANSWER:

  9. QUESTION:
    Does a male have to go through puberty before he can get a woman pregnant?
    Does a male have to go through puberty before he can get a woman pregnant, or does he have that ability since he was born?
    And just to let you know, I am not some one who wants to have sex with younger men or anything. I was just wondering. Nothing creepy, gross, or sick-minded.

    • ANSWER:
      the male has to "mature" and go through puberty before he can get a female pregnant. he will have ejaculated, maybe by having a wet dream or a nocturnal emission, and he will then be able to impregnate a female.

      funny enough, men usually become interested in sex after this point in time. the body has a really funny way of working with the mind!!!!

  10. QUESTION:
    How can this woman get pregnant from his married co-worker lover and keeps the affair.?
    She still working in a public place and everybody knows that the man is married. She has a one year old boy from that affair. She has being waiting from the man to divorce his wife and marry her. Does she has any dignity? she knew always that the man is married. How can she go everyday to her work?

    • ANSWER:
      She goes to work to feed the baby and see the married man who has no dignity and helped her keep the affair going.

  11. QUESTION:
    If Bigfoot is a missing link, could he get a woman pregnant?
    I was at a friend's house where he has a collection of old tabloids, and one claimed a woman got pregnant by Bigfoot. If Bigfoot is real would this be possible?

    • ANSWER:
      What you will have to do is send him a recent photo and maybe a little about yourself and see where it goes from there. I don't think Bigfoot is the responsible type, so don't expect him to hang around or support you and your new child if you did conceive. He likes the great outdoors, so child support recovery may have a hard time finding him. Prepare to have some strong deodorant or cologne on hand because his personal hygeine is a little to be improved upon. Good luck! I know it's possible. I have seen proof walking in some of our major cities!

  12. QUESTION:
    Do many men naturally have a deep desire to get a woman pregnant?

  13. QUESTION:
    can a man without a scrotum still be able to get a woman pregnant?
    Man has only a penis but still ejaculates what looks like sperm and is taking testosterone injections. Are the injections able to get a woman pregnant? Is the reason for the injections for being tired?

    • ANSWER:
      If he only has a penis then that means he doesn't have testicles. And testicles are what produce sperm. Testosterone is only a hormone and won't get anyone pregnant.
      No he cannot get you pregnant.
      And he ejaculates semen, and semen may or may not have sperm in it. Semen comes from the prostate, not the testicles so he still will ejaculate. But there will be no sperm in his ejaculate.

  14. QUESTION:
    How long does it take to get a woman pregnant?
    We have not been married long, since Nov of 2006 and we have sex every now and then, but my wife still can not get pregnant. I am 28 she is 36, she has a child from a previous marriage, in other words, this is her second marriage and my first. We want to have children together but for some reason or another I just cant get her pregnant? What are other options? She can still have children. I heard that women who are overweight have trouble getting pregnant. She is say over 200 and under 300 I would say. I am over 200 and under 300. Please advise me on what meds or what doctors to see to get my wife pregnant. We do not have any doctors that we see just the health clinic as we are low-income family. Please advise.

    • ANSWER:
      Okay, first... if you're having sex "now and then" it might not be enough, or be at the right time of the month. Getting pregnant is simple... 1) you must ovulate and 2) you must have sex during ovulation. If one of these things is missing, you won't get pregnant.

      Your wife's weight is only an issue if it's interfering with her fertility. Is she menstruating every month? Is she ovulating every month? That's what matters. Warning... having a period every month does NOT mean you ovulate. So... she really needs to figure out if this is happening naturally for her.

      You need to start tracking her cycles. Charting the symptoms, determining when she's ovulating, and making sure to have sex at that time. There's tons of stuff on the Internet that will teach you about conceiving. Just do a search for "ovulation" and "conceiving",

      Unfortunately, for some couples getting pregnant means more work than simply tossing out birth control. Also, she is considered advanced maternal age (35+) and it may take a bit longer... that's MAY take longer, not necessarily WILL take longer.

      I suggest you start by tightening up your efforts a bit. Learn about her cycles and do the work. You can also purchase an ovulation predictor kit if you don't want to do the work manually. These gadgets will tell you when she's fertile.

      Good luck and feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

  15. QUESTION:
    How far in does a man have to be to get a woman pregnant?

    Whats the max age for a man to make a woman pregnant and get a baby?
    last time people understood my question and made fun of me. so here is the new question >
    Whats the max age for a man to make a woman pregnant and get a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think there is an age limit for a man. I'm pretty sure they don't go through menopause like women do. I think the problem with males is that when they get older it gets harder for them to...perform. Hence the viagra pills. If they don't have a vasectomy then I don't think there's a problem. That and women wanting to get with an eighty or ninety year old man.

  19. QUESTION:
    Question about my right to stop a woman pregnant with my child from getting an abortion?
    A woman I was having sexual relations with is pregnant with my child. She is my third cousin, via my step dad, so we are not in any way blood related and the child would be perfectly healthy. We just had a friends with benefits relationship and we don't want to be married, but that doesn't mean I want her to get an abortion. Do I have any rights as the father of the child? I mean, can she get an abortion with out my permission? Any advice is appreciated as this has me very distraught.

      You have no rights, its her body, not yours. You should have made a deal or gotten married before having sex if you wanted to be a father.

      Abortion is controlled by Natural Abortion laws.

    If a man has had a vasectomy, can he get a woman pregnant?
    If a man has had a vasectomy, can he still get a woman pregnant? Does the mans age also play a role as well the older he gets of getting a woman pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi
      A vasectomy is virtually guaranteed to stop you falling pregnant. But there have been cases where men have become fertile again after the precedure and therefore they are urged to retest themselves every couple of years. Fortunately these cases are very very few compared to the thousands of men who have vasectomies every year.

  29. QUESTION:
    Can you get a woman pregnant if you know you haven't ejaculated yet?
    I know that seems like a stupid question, but I also wonder how so many un-planned pregnancies occur. Can you impregnate a woman even though you know you haven't ejaculated yet? Can pre-cum cause pregnancy? Or do all these pregnancies happen by drunk guys who didn't know that they came, or just dumb guys who dont understand you have to pull out?

    • ANSWER:
      Prejaculate can definitely get a woman pregnant as it does, indeed, contain sperm and STD's. It is even possible to get a woman pregnant having unprotected sex during her menstruation. Pulling out is not an effective method of contraception especially if she is not charting her fertility closely and knowing when she ovulates. In this case 'close enough' is not safe enough. The approximated FAILURE of this method is estimated to be closer to 27%. Over 1 in 4 people will get pregnant using this method. Couples not using a form of birth control have an 85% chance of conceiving in the first year. Chances are you're just trying to get away with not using a condom. If it is because you feel there is less sensation I ask you to consider two things:

      First, there are many condoms out there that are very thin and most men cannot tell the difference. They also have female condoms as well.

      Second: Sex will definitely not feel as good with a screaming baby next to your bed.

      So do the math. If there is a 27% chance that you could get pregnant is it worth it? A baby is a lot more expensive than a condom. You can even get condoms for free at places like planned parenthood where they will also screen you for STD's and talk about all kinds of methods of birth control so that you are covered no matter what your preference is.

      Oh wait, don't forget the 100% chance that you could contract an STD if your partner has one. It is estimated that 60% of the population have HPV. This is an STD that usually shows no symptoms in men (some strains show itself in the form of genital herpes) but can lead to women getting cervical cancer. This is a disease you cannot get rid of so the best way to deal with it is to not get it in the first place. If you're sexually active you need to be getting checked for STD's and the female needs to be getting pap smears to make sure there are no abnormal cells. No matter how much you trust your partner or think you know where he or she 'has been', you don't. It is a sensitive subject and people are dishonest all the time. Would you trust someone to put a loaded gun to your head?

      In short, no glove, no love. Good luck!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      The best time of the month is around ovulation. If your wife's menstrual cycle is regular, start from about 17 days before her next period is due, for about 5 days (every day or every other day).

      If your wife's menstrual cycle is irregular, you might want to try buying an ovulation kit to determine when her ovulation occurs. If you do, make sure to follow all of the instructions.

    I know there's a certain time during every month when a woman can have sex without getting pregnant. ("period"?)
    However, I also heared that sex during this time can be quite messy and bloody. How does this thing work?

    Provided the two partners are clean, and there's no fear of getting an STD, how would they go about having sex during the above mentioned time?

    • ANSWER:
      But what of the ancients?? They had lots of children. The women kept having children until they died due to pregnancy or childbirth complications.

      Keep it in your pants. You are not mature enough to be having sex.

      starring Garry Shandling, Annette Bening, John Goodman, Greg Kinnear, Ben Kingsley, Linda Fiorentino
      IMDb synopsis:
      A highly-evolved planet, whose denizens feel no emotion and reproduce by cloning, plans to take over Earth from the inside by sending an operative, fashioned with a humming, mechanical penis, to impregnate an earthling and stay until the birth. The alien, Harold Anderson, goes to Phoenix as a banker and sets to work finding a mate. His approaches to women are inept, and the humming phallus doesn't help, but on the advice of a banking colleague, he cruises an AA meeting, meets Susan, and somehow convinces her to marry. The clock starts to tick: will she conceive, have a baby, and lose Harold (and the child) to his planet before he discovers emotion and starts to care?

    Why do people believe that pre-come can get a woman pregnant?
    i have been pulling out and ejaculating on women after i have sex with them for yearssss. I have never once gotten a girl pregnant and am wondering why everyone believes this old wives tale? As long as you pull out it is physically impossible to get a girl pregnant, its just science.

    • ANSWER:
      As a doctor in the medical field, I would like to add that although pre-baby batter does contain a small amount of sperm and it is technically possible to impregnate a female with it, the odds are almost too small to consider. The jizz to sperm ratio is so far off and there are so few actual sperm cells in these little miniature loads of lust, that for the most part they will have drowned in their own jizz loads (not unlike Michael Jackson) before being actually ejaculated. Females should also be aware that a nice, hot load of protein rich man juice is in fact the best skin treatment and should be applied regularly to their faces for a much younger and tighter looking complexion.

Get Pregnant Trying

How to Get Pregnant - Trying to Conceive Without Success - Tips For Getting Pregnant Naturally
Many women trying to conceive wonder "how to get pregnant", and what are their chances of getting pregnant. Even though there are certain steps you can take to increase your chances of pregnant, every woman should try to understand the average length of time it takes to conceive and her body. Recent studies show that 25% of couples get pregnant in the first month of trying and 90% of couples trying to get pregnant will successfully conceive within eighteen months of trying. As every woman's cycle are different understanding your body though will help your decide the best time to conceive.

Also, 20% of couples trying to get pregnant will not conceive in the first year, even if your reproductive health is good. Even if you do not get pregnant as fast as you would like, it is important to try and improve your fertility for you and your partner.

Timing sex around ovulation is one way to increase your chances of getting pregnant. The egg can only live between 12 to 24 hours, and the sperm can live for a few days- possibly as long as 5 days if the environment is right. So, you can still get pregnant if you have intercourse prior to your ovulation as the sperm are still alive inside you.

A healthy diet is important too; having a balanced intake of vitamins will not only improve your conception rates but also help maintain your weight. So, it is important to eat right when you are trying to conceive, avoid foods such as fish as too much exposure to mercury can affect the nervous system of an unborn baby. There are other alternatives, such as salmon, rainbow trout and canned mackerel, which contain low levels of mercury.

Stress may interfere with ovulation and the body's ability to conceive. When trying to get pregnant, low levels of stress can mean better male and female fertility. There several relaxation exercises you can do, for example Yoga and Pilates.

Drinking and overall having an unhealthy lifestyle can affect fertility. Smoking can affect a women's fertility as they're more at risk of developing cervical and tube problem and experiencing abnormal menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances, it can also impact the male as it may decrease sperm count.

If you haven't been trying to conceive for over 18 months, without any success it is advised to see a feritlity specialist to test for any infertility issues.

    have you tried to get pregnant , tried so much that it hurts and no success, did you finally give up and stop trying and become pregnant? please anyone have any success stories about this. i really need to know should i give up trying and i get pregnant.iv been trying for 5 years with regular periods never been on any pills or contraceptives im 22 years old
    22 hours ago - 3 days left to answer.

    • ANSWER:
      wow.. 5 years.

      have you talked with a fertility doctor about this?
      it can be scary.. and you may not want to find out exactly why its so hard for you to concieve. but after 5 years of trying, i think its time that you go see a doctor.

      i've heard that all the stress that comes from trying and failing to concieve over and over again could put your body 's system on hiatus. just like how you can miss a couple periods if you're going through a lot of stress in life.
      its easier said than done, but maybe you could just try to relax, and not worry about trying to become pregnant. i agree that you should stop trying for a while. a long while.

      rest. rejuvinate. dont think about babies [or at least try not to].
      it could make a huge difference.

      good luck!

    what's the best things to eat and drink while pregnant/trying to get pregnant?
    what should i eat? drink more of? what should i cut out? need to know as much as possible.

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you drink plenty of fresh water. Limit coffee/tea to 2-3 cups a day because caffeine isn't good for your unborn baby. Don't have too many herbal/fruit teas.
      Be careful with eggs, only have hard ones and no raw meat/fish.
      You can have the occasional treat like chocolate bar or cake but they have lots of caffeine in them.
      Eat lots of fresh food and veg.
      Avoid soft cheeses though, cheddar is OK.
      Have 1 portion of oily fish a week (trout, salmon) but no more.
      Snack on nuts.
      Don't eat swordfish, oysters, sharks or anything.
      Eat red meat for iron.
      Don't smoke or drink alchohol. Don't paint because the paint fumes can harm the baby.

      Ways to eat more fruit and veg.

      Make your own museli with fruit.
      Make vegetable soup.
      Drink fresh orange.
      Half a grapefrruit.
      Have salad with things.
      Grill things.
      Have fruit smoothies with any fruits.

  12. QUESTION:
    what is the best way to get a woman pregnant(trying)?
    trying with the wifean it just doesnt seam to be happning both good bye docs results but no luck

    • ANSWER:
      First, find out when she is ovulating. This is when a women releases an egg. This only happenes one a month, and its best to have sexual intercourse at this time. If she have regular periods, then have sex on or around her fertile day. Her fertile day is about 14 days after the start of her last period. For example, if she started her period on the 1st of the month, her most fertile day would be on the 15th of the month.

      If she dont have regular periods, then she can buy an ovulation test to predict when she are ovulating (this is what got me pregnant finally!). An ovualtion test is easy to use: all she has to do is dip the test strip in her urine, and it can tell by the amounts of hormoens in her urine when she will be ovulating. They cost about , and you can buy one almost anywhere that sells pregnancy tests/condoms/etc. I bought mine at Walmart.

      Having sex all the time WONT increase your chances of becoming pregnant, it will actually decrease them. The more a man ejaculates, the weaker and less in volume his sperm are. So, try and only have sex around her fertile day, so the sperm will be to their fullest effectivness.

      After sex, have your wife keep her hip and legs elevated for at least 30 minutes. This helps the sperm get to where they need to go. Many times, the sperm will drip out when a woman stands, sits, or gets up after sex.

      Be healthy. Take vitamins, esecially for her since she is trying to get pregnant. Its never too early to start prenatal vitamins, and she can buy them over the counter for about . Also, your health will greatly affect how fast she gets pregnant. If you drinks, smokes, do drugs, etc, hold off until she becomes pregnant. Doing these things will greatly reduce the strenght of sperm, and even if she does get pregnant, it will increase the risk of miscarriage.

      Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of becoming pregnant after trying this month a day before ovulation?
    I have been trying to get pregnant for about a year now. I got pregnant last October, only to result in a miscarriage. Today was the day I was supposed to ovulate, so I had sex yesterday. (I have heard many places that the day before is best, being that sperm live a while in your body.) What are my chances of becoming pregnant this go around. I have been waiting and waiting to have a child. I have everything planned out for one, the right husband, money, home, etc. Anyone who can help me, just let me know what my chances are.

    • ANSWER:
      I have heard too that just before ovulation is a good time and up to three days after. During the time that you have a very slippery, stretchy, clear discharge is a peak time. There are books on what is called "fertility awareness" that may help. There are other resources to help increase your chances. A book I found helpful is called "Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition" by Marylin Shannon. Best wishes to you!

  14. QUESTION:
    Which day would be considered the first day of my period? I am pregnant & trying to figure out my due date?
    First, let me say this is a serious question and I would like serious answers only please, I apologize a head of time, if I give to much detail, I am just trying to explain my q, the best I can. I dont know which day I would consider the first day of my period, on Sept 5th, I got light brown/pink spotting, however I only noticed this when I would wipe. This last 2 days, then on the 7th, I got a regular flow, that turns red, where I tampon was needed. My period is like this every month, I always get the light brown/pink spotting, when I a wipe for 2 days before getting a flow. I have heard you people say your first day is the very first day you notice blood, so would my first day be when it was the brown/pink stuff or would it be the day the flow actually started? I want to try to figure this out, b/c my hubby & I have been trying for over a yr & 1/2 to get pregnant and finally have become pregnant, but I dont know which date to give the doctor for when my last period was!

    • ANSWER:
      i say the first day you "bleed" spotting doesn't count in my opinion. but also, two days really isn't going to make THAT much of a difference in determining fetal age and due date. so i would go with the 7th, not the 5th.

    36 weeks pregnant - trying to get rid of RAID (pest repellent)?
    I'm pregnant and my husband sprayed RAID in the garage 2 nights ago. Well my washer/dryer is also out there. So I made sure the garage was hosed down with water. Will this get rid of the RAID? Also I left the garage door open for about an hour or so. Do you think I can use the garage yet to do laundry?

    • ANSWER:
      You should be fine. Honestly I don't think I would have hosed it out as long as you were planning on not being barefoot. The only concern with pest products is inhaling a lot of fumes or skin contact. If you are worried at all though just leave the garage door open while you are in there.

    Can sims get pregnant without trying for a baby in the sims 2?
    In the sims 2 nightlife and university, can they get pregnant without trying for a baby? Just having a regular woo-hoo?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they can't, unless you have the silent pregnancy or risky woohoo hacks downloaded. Otherwise, they need to try for baby in a car, hot tub, bed, or clothing booth.

      You can always make a sim pregnant by clicking Ctrl Shift C and then typing in boolprop TestingCheatsEnabled true, then hitting shift and clicking on a sim. Select "Spawn" then "Tombstone of L and D," click on the spawned tombstone and select "Make me pregnant with..." or "Make me alien pregnant." But all that's cheating.

  24. QUESTION:
    Can stress cause you to not get pregnant when trying?
    Been trying to get pregnant for a year now. I only have one ovary and I'm taking clomid for the 3rd time. Was wondering if stress can cause you to not get pregnant. My stress level is really high and I really want a baby. Ive been trying to stay positive and calm. But i need some help on how to do that. Any advice would be great thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, stress can affect getting pregnant.
      Mmmm, well, what normally de-stresses you?
      Why don't you try some mum-to-be things, act like you are already a mum-to-be and perhaps it will happen.
      How about getting a massage from a qualified aromatherapist? They should be able to design a blend of oils specifically for you, make sure you tell them about medication and that you are trying.
      Or if you can afford it go on a holiday or trip nearby? (nothing involving aeroplanes or amusment park rides)
      Or buy or rent or borrow a mum-to-be yoga or pilates dvd - I love pilates!
      Everytime you find you are worrying or stressing find something challenging to do, it must take your mind of things so your mind can have a break.

      I wish you the best of luck!

  28. QUESTION:
    What are other options to get pregnant after trying for a year? Is there something over the counter?
    I lost a child on 04/23/06 only to find out it was due to a scarred uterus from the previous pregnancy(C-section)! I wish I would have know this, I may have been able to carry the baby full term! What is some advice if I get pregnant again?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm so sorry for your loss *hugs* I've lost a child too, not to the same thing, but I remember my OB/GYN telling me that if I was ready for another baby, then it was the best thing in the world for me. I'm not sure if you'd be considered a high-risk case or not since I'm not a doctor, so if a doctor's given you the go-ahead to try for another baby,and all you're after is just a way to help you conceive I strongly recommend Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility book, and you could also get her computer program to make it super easy to chart your cycles. The program is called Ovusoft. Some friends suggested it to me and I've read Toni's book and have used her method both to achieve pregnancy and also to avoid pregnancy. It really isn't hard to do at all. I've seen MANY friends who had been trying for years for another baby, become pregnant within a couple of months of using Toni's advice. These were friends who had even been on prescriptions to help them conceive and that didn't work, but Toni's method did. I hope it will help you too! As for having a baby after a c-section, it's certainly possible. I've had 2 daughters after an emergency c-section, one was a VBAC and one was another emergency c-section. Just be sure the doctor in care of your pregnancy is aware of your medical history so they can watch you closely, especially as you approach your due date. Best wishes!

    How do I talk a 14 yr old out of trying to get pregnant?
    I have a 14 yr old neice. I just found out that she has been trying to get pregnant. I told her mom and everything and she has been taking her to a counselor but nothing seems to be helping. She has her mind set on getting pregnant. I tried to explain to her that she still has a long future ahead of her and to not try to grow up too fast.... any suggestions??

    • ANSWER:
      have her watch a child if its possible. that usually is a ''wake up'' call for younger girls who want a child. i know it worked with even my friend whos 23 and wanted one. lol she watched my twins and was like ''um maybe i'll wait.'' so thats just suggestion. nothing you SAY can make her change her mind, because you can't MAKE her. but if you give her little things, such as that to show her how hard it is, she will wake up. not saying for long periods of time, but just short ones, they are a lot of work, and normally that is noticeable to a 14 year old (they will get really overwhelmed, my lil sis is 14 and cant watch my lil ones on her own, or my 9 month old newphew for long extended periods of time without gettin stressed).

    What is the average amount of time to get pregnant when trying to conceive?
    I have been trying to conceive for nearly a year now. I am starting to become really concerened as nothing is happening. I am beginning to think i am infertile. Is this possible if i already have a child? Can some one please help? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      If you've been trying to conceive for a year, it might be a good idea to go get checked out by a doctor. I understand your concern. My hubby and I have been trying for 7 months now and I can't help but worry that something is wrong. All the websites say it could take up to a year for perfectly healthy couples and one website I ran across said the average time was around 7 months. But I know couples that are fine and just take a little longer conceiving than others.

      I'll share the advice that all my friends share with me: stop trying. And I'm not tracking my ovulation. I know the general time I ovulate and I'm going to take some tests to make sure I am ovulating but I don't chart ovulation and/or take my temperature or anything. Yet, everyone says as soon as we stop trying, it will happen. And I do believe them because you always hear about the couples that can't conceive so they adopt and immediately get pregnant because they stop worrying about it.

      So my advice is visit a doctor to put your mind at ease that everything is working as it should be. Then, distract yourself. Take up a new hobby, take a class, go on a fun vacation, give yourself something else to think about. Best of luck!

    Is it a bad ieas to get pregnant when trying to do nursing school?
    I am 21 and will be attending my schools nursing program next january. Only 1 quarter of prerequisits left! Would it be a horrible idea to try to get pregnant in the next year?

    • ANSWER:
      If you will have a fair amount of time you could spare once the baby is born, I would say it wouldn't be too bad. Even with a busier schedule it's totally fine - just a lot more hectic! lol.

      Babies require a lot of time, and not just during the day. It is extremely exhausting at first - when my son was first born I was terrified that I would never sleep again! So be sure to plan in some sleep deprivation (not that it's a fun thing by any means lol, just be prepared!).

      Best of luck to you and your partner!

    Did any other ladies get pregnant by trying to conceive one day before you ovulated?
    I tried to get pregnant on Jan 1, and I ovulated on Jan 2. Today's the 10th and I'm wondering if I should have tried to conceive a few days prior to ovulating instead of just one day before. Anyone know what symptoms if any I should be feeling right now?

    • ANSWER:
      i didn't really try, but i did have sex the day before i ovulated and now have a 20 month old little girl. As far as symptoms go i almost immediately had pain and stretching feelings to the point where it hurt to walk stand sit ANYTHING! Odd cause it was my second pregnancy, but when i was actually confirmed pregnant by the dr. he explained to me that it could have been from the egg being fertilized in the fallopian tube and then moving and since it would be bigger moving through i would feel it more. I never had any complications so i assume that was it. Good luck to you I hope you have the same luck as i!

    • ANSWER:
      Live with your parents. Why would you want the added expenses of rent, electric, gas, water, trash, sewer, phone, food, etc, when you get it all for free at home?

      If your parents are angry and not supportive of you during your pregnancy and try to kick you out, go live with an aunt or grandma. If he gets kicked out, he can find a place to live too.

      Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you have to assume adult expenses. The baby will be expensive enough. Live at home while you can.

  36. QUESTION:
    Is my friend really pregnant or trying to get attention?
    In basic words I'm 17w preggo today and a few weeks ago my best friend said she was also expecting. She's made up several things like this before but I'm not too sure if she is actually pregnant or not as I didn't see the test. Well she's had the morning sickness and says she has cramps which is obviously round ligament pain if she is pregnant but today I found out that she has been using tampons for the past couple of days due to bleeding. She would technically be due for AF sometime this week but if she is pregnant ... can she still have bleeding around this time?

    • ANSWER:
      With my first i had period like bleeding throughout the whole pregnancy at around the time i was expecting my period so it can happen.

      If she has said things like this in the past then i can see why you wouldn't believe her but maybe you should ask her if she has seen someone about the bleeding and tell her that tampons are not recommended to use in pregnancy (which the doctor/midwife should have already told her).

  38. QUESTION:
    How can I get Pregnant after trying for 5 years unprotected?
    My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 5 years, and we have not been lucky yet. We tried fertility drugs, no luck...Our doctor said to have more sex throughout the months...no luck...I even switch up my diet..no luck...I really need help because I want to have a baby.

    • ANSWER:
      It's hard to know what you could do differently, without the details of what you've done or what your diagnosis is.

      - If your doctor is a general practitioner or OB/GYN, find a Reproductive Endocrinologist first. If you're already seeing an RE, it may be time to find another.

      - If you haven't already get some testing to determine the problem. At a minimum you need a semenanalysis (on him), bloodwork to determine hormone and inulin levels, and an ultrasound/hystersonogram to rule out structural abnormalities.

      - There are many types of fertility drugs and procedures (from Clomid to injectibles and timed intercourse to IVF), it may be time to reevaluate which you're using, especially based on your test results.

    • ANSWER:
      No real way to predict. Try to increase your chance by knowing your likely ovulation dates (their are several methods for doing that). I got pregnant with my 1st in the 4th month of trying and I used several methods for predicting my ovulation to increase the chance of pregnancy.

  42. QUESTION:
    trying to get pregnant, but on depo provera. how long til it wears off??
    my next shot iz due june 30th and i do not plan to get it. before i was on depo provera for yearz & it took 4 monthz 4 me 2get my period back. now i really want 2 b pregnant, trying 2 time it around my semesters i had 2 shotz, one in january & another in april. is there anything i can do 2 help? or do i just hafta wait :-(

    • ANSWER:
      You're going to just have to wait. The shot can really do a number on your body. It may take some time, it may not. It all depends on how fast your body flushes it out of your system. Some get pregnant right away (this happened to my friend) and some need to give it time to wear off. There really isn't anything you can do to get it out of your system any faster. What you can do to improve your chances is to find out when your fertile window is and when you ovulate. It may be hard to figure out because you'll probably need to give your body time to normal out and regulate your cycle. After your 1st period, you should try to start to pin point your ovulation if possible. Good luck to you and I hope you don't have long to wait!

    Hope you can help send some baby dust to me...

    • ANSWER:
      Patience, and not worrying so much about conception that you stop enjoying the process of trying to get pregnant.

      Many healthy and perfectly fertile couples can take 6 cycles or even more before they're able to conceive. While some women tend to go through near heroic efforts to try to get pregnant, in the end it's usually just a matter of time (and not all those extra things they tried) which resulted in a positive test.

      Good luck.

  45. QUESTION:

    So i just found out a few days ago i am pregnant last night me and my husband were trying to have sex. as soon as he stuck it in it gave me horrible cramps, i dont think this is normal and the doctor cant get me in for 3 weeks. i decided just not to have sex untill i find out if every thing is ok. has this happened to any one else?

    • ANSWER:
      I personally chose to abstain from sex until my 2nd trimester just to be safe...I'm really high risk though and have had 3 miscarriages in the past so maybe I'm a little too cautious. If you are concerned then you should just stop having sex until you feel it is safe for the baby. There are other ways of being intimate with your spouse that don't involve intercourse.

Frankly, The likelihood of getting pregnant or having a baby depends on a lot of things, including the length of time you have been trying, regardless of whether you have been pregnant before, and what is causing your infertility. Doctors believe, a woman's age is very important. According to them the chance of getting pregnant is lower whenever a woman is older than 35 years.

At age 40, your likelihood of getting pregnant is just 5% regardless of whether we like it or not, fertility in women starts to slowly decline in the late 20s and beginning an even more rapid decline around age 35.

Getting Pregnant After 30

Getting Pregnant In Your 30S
Many consider the 30s the happy-medium age for motherhood. You're more likely to be secure in your career and in your relationship, which will provide a firm foundation for your growing family. Hopefully, you and your partner have also had the chance to have some adventures together before you embark on parenthood, the greatest adventure of all.

That's the good news. The bad news is there's a tremendous difference between your ability to get pregnant in your early versus your late 30s. As the decade progresses, a woman's fertility goes into free fall. That's why fertility experts caution women in their 30s not to wait too long, particularly if they want more than one child.

Pros
In many ways, having children in your 30s makes financial and practical sense. You probably have a higher income and a better financial cushion than in your 20s, because you've had more time to become established in the working world. Yet you may have more flexibility than a woman in her 40s, who might find it personally and professionally difficult to interrupt a high-level career to have a child.

Before trying for a baby, it's a good idea to take a long, hard look at your finances to make sure that they won't take too much of a dent after you have your baby. Will you be able to keep up your superannuation and mortgage payments, for example? Should you switch to flexible plans so that you can pay less for a while? Are you getting the best possible deals for things like gas, electricity, broadband and credit cards?

If you plan to stop working for a while, it pays to hang onto your skills and contacts. This will smooth your transition back to work when you do decide to return. Keep up with trade publications, attend conferences, have an occasional lunch with former colleagues, or take a refresher course. Of course, if you fancy a change in direction, now is a great time to retrain or to put that business idea you've had for ages into action.

New mums in their 30s also have a lot of stamina and resilience, qualities that come in handy for parenting young children. While everyone develops differently, women at this age are likely to know themselves better than women in their 20s do and are less likely to be as set in their ways as women in their 40s.

Nicole, director of sales for a large hotel, had one child in her 20s, three in her 30s, and one at 41. If she had to choose, she would pick the 30s as the ideal childbearing decade: "Your career is launched, you still look and feel great, and you have the energy to keep up with your kids," she says. "You're more relaxed about being a parent than you were in your 20s, so you can have more fun, and you aren't as tired as you are in your 40s. You think you can do it all, and in your 30s, you almost can."
Cons
Every study you read or expert you consult will agree: 35 is the age of reckoning for women when it comes to having children. In your early 30s, your chances of getting pregnant are only slightly lower than in your late 20s and your risk of a miscarriage or a baby with Down's syndrome only slightly higher; but at 35, that decline in fertility begins to accelerate. Age 35 is also the point when Down's syndrome and other genetic abnormalities become more of a concern, so doctors may recommend amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, or other detailed screening during pregnancy from the mid-30s on.

Miscarriage rates also rise slowly but steadily as women age, as do pregnancy-related complications. A woman over 35 is more likely than a younger woman to have an ectopic pregnancy. Caesarean rates are also higher for women over 35: first-time mothers this age have a 40-per-cent chance of a caesarean delivery compared to 14 per cent of first-time mothers in their 20s. No one knows for sure why the caesarean rate is higher for older mothers, but some experts believe it's partly because doctors tend to treat older mothers as "high risk" during pregnancy and labour even if their pregnancy is straightforward.

Of course, every woman ages at her own pace, but experts say that, at 35, a woman needs to get serious if she wants to have children; especially if she wants more than one. "I always tell women to think about that second pregnancy," says fertility specialist James Goldfarb. "At age 35 or 36, many women need only minor, if any, medical intervention to get pregnant, but by the time they're ready for their next child, say at 39, those same treatments are less likely to work."

Your odds of success
Dr Goldfarb, who sees couples struggling with fertility issues every day in his clinic, puts the statistics into perspective: "There's a clear drop-off in fertility between ages 29 and 35, but the majority of 35-year-old women still won't have a problem," he says. "However, by 38 or 39, age becomes a big factor."

Overall, in your 30s you have about a 15-per-cent chance of getting pregnant in any single ovulation cycle, according to leading fertility specialist Sherman Silber, author of four bestselling fertility books, including How to Get Pregnant. Your chances of conceiving within a year of starting to try are about 75 per cent. But since fertility wanes as the decade progresses, in your late 30s your chance of getting pregnant within a year drops to 65 per cent.

Your miscarriage risk rises slowly throughout the 30s, from about 12 per cent for ages 30 to 34 to 18 per cent for ages 35 to 39. First-time mums over 35 have a 40-per-cent chance of having a miscarriage, compared to 14 per cent for first-time mothers in their 20s.

At age 30, the risk of having a child with Down's syndrome is one in 910. That risk jumps to one in 380 when you're 35.

Age 35 to 39 is also when women are most likely to have twins than at any other age; even without the fertility treatments that raise the odds for multiple births. Typically, you release one egg per menstrual cycle. But as you get older, your levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) increases. When this hormonal surge occurs, there's a chance that you may release more than one egg, upping the odds of a multiple birth. So while older women are statistically less likely to get pregnant, if they do get pregnant, they're more likely to have twins.

To get pregnant the normal and natural way in spite of being told otherwise, go to how to get pregnant. The one and only resource you would need to be able to conceive easily without any invasive surgeries.

Get Your Period

Did You Get Your Period Early With Pain In Ovaries?
If you got your period early and you had pain in your ovaries you may have an ovarian cyst problem. Almost all women will develop cysts and usually they pass from the body with no problem. Sometimes however, they can cause severe pain and other complications and need to be treated.

Here are a few symptoms that are common with ovarian cysts:
Menstrual periods that are irregular, spotty or overly painful, may be a symptom of ovarian cysts. A pain in the lower abdomen and a feeling that your abdomen is bloated could be a symptom of cysts. The pain may radiate to your lower back and the back of your upper thighs. Going to the bathroom may be difficult to complete because of pressure on the bladder. If the above symptoms aren't bad enough on a woman, ovarian cysts can also result in an outbreak of acne.
While you are unlikely to notice this except at the doctors office, your blood pressure could become elevated as a result of ovarian cysts.

Those are the common symptoms that cysts that need attention have. The next question is what do you do about it?

See your doctor. The only certain way to find out if you have ovarian cysts is by medical exam. You doctor will probably do an ultrasound and one or two blood tests as well as a manual pelvic exam.

If in fact you have ovarian cysts, and you are of child bearing age, and the blood test does not show signs of cancer, your doctor will take a wait and see approach. The reason for this is many cysts will disappear within two or three menstrual cycles by themselves. This wait and see treatment unfortunately does nothing to relieve you of the symptoms.

If after the waiting period ends the symptoms persist, youre going to have a very important discussion with your doctor.

Traditional medicine will only treat the cyst that exists today. Your doctor can do nothing about preventing the cyst from returning later and thats a common event in women who have troublesome cysts. Depending on the type and condition of the cyst, your doctor will offer either a hormone therapy like birth control pills, or surgery. Neither option is particularly desirable.

However there is another way if you are fed up with having to deal with this condition constantly. There is a natural approach that focuses on diet, exercise and stress management. It doesnt have a wait and see period, it starts now, and that includes ending the pain. Better yet, it focuses on the root causes of the cysts and is designed to prevent them from reoccurring.

You need to be well informed on both the traditional and natural therapies when you speak with your doctor. Its your body and you have a responsibility to determine the best route for you.

Get Pregnant During Ovulation

How Long Should It Take To Get Pregnant?
If you are wondering how long should it take to get pregnant, then there is no definitive answer as it can vary from couple to couple.

Those who eat a healthy diet are more likely to conceive quickly, with those consuming refined carbohydrates, sugars and trans fats taking longer.

Best Date to Get Pregnant
What is the Best Date to Get Pregnant?

Here's the short answer to this question: the best date to get pregnant is the day that you begin ovulation, or your egg is released. However, there are many other days that getting pregnant are quite possible for the healthy woman in her child-bearing years. The most common ways to determine these days involve fertility charting and gathering cervical mucus.

One of the most common ways women try to determine the best date to get pregnant is by using their menstrual cycle as a guide. You have probably heard that the average woman's cycle lasts 28 days. However, the truth is more complicated - women can have cycles as short as 24 days, or as long as thirty-five.

Cycles will vary from woman to woman, and even month-to-month. This is why counting days is not quite as accurate as getting temperature data. As a result, if you are truly serious about getting pregnant, it would be in your best interest to use another, more accurate method - such as basal temperature charting, or gathering cervical mucus.

If you intend to track your fertility to find the best date to get pregnant, using a basal thermometer is recommended. It is much more accurate than an ordinary thermometer. The woman takes her temperature first thing in the morning, at about the same time every day, and records it.

On the day of ovulation, her body temperature will increase by around.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It will remain elevated for the remainder of ovulation, or about three days. Using this method, you cannot predict when your ovulation will occur without counting days, but it will tell you with very good accuracy if this is the specific day your ovulation will begin. And because this is the most fertile day, this is the best day to get pregnant.

One final way of tracking ovulation is by monitoring the physical properties of your cervical mucus. In the days prior to ovulating, production of mucus is low and the cervix is therefore on the dry side. But right before ovulation, the amount of available mucus increases, and changes consistency in a way that favors fertilization.

It will become stretchy and sticky (can be pulled between fingers) and may look similar to egg whites. If you decide to use this method to find the best date to get pregnant, the easiest way will be to simply use your finger or other sterile utensil to swab the inside of your cervix to gather mucus.

Get Pregnant During Period

Pcos Trying To Get Pregnant It is a great experience to a woman delivering her own infant. Oh! what a blessing to know that a baby who was in your uterus is going to depend on you... when you feeling your big fat stomach and acknowledge a new member is coming. I still remember those months when I walked on the street watching other women holding their little babies. I used to desire having one.

If there is one thing I can tell you is to never give up. As soon as my husband (DH) and I had decided to try to have a baby, I immediately started exploring. I found some discussion board and became a member. I read on those forums that some women spent years of trying to get a baby. I supposed this would be a cinch.

It was great learning all the ins and outs about the best way to get pregnant. Then the reality hit me when I found that others were progressing well but me.. So I started temping and charting, with Ovulation Predictor Kit (OPK), I attempted everything, I had been to the RE but she said unless I was diagnosed fertility problem that she could not to step in until I was TTC for 12 months!. Things started to get hard, I wish I had identified this before and just couldnt figure why it wasnt happening. Other kept getting thier good results but me
I began to get really frustrated and jealous to the ladies who would join the membership board and within a few weeks of TTC they were getting good results. Finally, I proceeded to the 9 months board, where I found people who understood how I felt. I read a lot of insights about why some fertility techniques did not work and how some ladies were able to have a baby by following some natural treatments. Small technique like not getting up quickly after you having doing it because this will pull sperms in the opposite direction than where they need to be oriented.

The metabolic activities that is reliable for conception are determined by hormones. These hormones which are made from proteins, can only function at its best when the body is supplied with the needed food. It is important that you have the right diet to ensure that there is plenty supply of hormones responsible for pregnancy.

I was astounded to notice that most of medical processes such as In vitro fertilisation (IVF) and Intrauterine insemination (IUI) are costly and may severely increases the chances of having unhealthy babies. In the end I learned that there were many ladies who got pregnant by doing a very simple routine that was discovered by a lady in china who had the same issue. If you want to increase your chances of having a healthy baby then you dont want to use any of these horrific medical processes. What you require is to get pregnant naturally.

Geritol And Getting Pregnant

The Pressure of Not Being Able To Get Pregnant - How It Affects Your Chances of Actually Getting Pregnant
There is a lot of pressure when it comes to trying to get pregnant, especially when a couple have been trying for about a year or two and have not succeeded in conceiving the kid they want so badly. The pressure doses nothing but mounts over time. However, it has been proven time and again that having a lot of pressure or stress about you not being able to get pregnant can adversely affect your chances of actually getting pregnant!

If you are trying to get pregnant, my best advice to you would be that you try to relax and not stress about it too much. I know after 1, 2, or 3 years of trying but failing to conceive, this becomes much easier said than done, however just do whatever you can so that you don't think about the fact that you are struggling but failing to conceive the baby of your dreams. Focus on your relationship as a couple, instead of the idea of trying to get a kid.
For me, we were planning our wedding and decided that we'd be fine with getting pregnant whenever it happened. I'd been on the pill for a while and we decided I'd stop taking them, but we wouldn't say we were actually "trying" because it would put pressure on us. I was thinking it would take at least 6 months or so, but that conversation took place in November. Our wedding was scheduled for March 24. When we got married, I was 12 weeks pregnant. I wasn't expecting it, wasn't stressed about it or anything. My mind wasn't even on getting pregnant. By the time I noticed the symptoms, everyone knew I was pregnant except me!

If you guys have both been tested and are fine, maybe you should invest in ovulation kits and try that. Also, here's an old wives tale that I've been told by several people actually works--take some Geritol. Supposedly it builds up your system somehow. I don't know, but at least it can't hurt you.

There is also this great natural infertility cure guide which I can say helped me quite much too. It maybe did not make me pregnant, but it helped me to understand quite a lot on my body and many other women say this guide have been helping them a great deal. The guide I am talking about is called: the pregnancy miracle guide by Lisa Olson. I would advise any women who are having any kind of difficulties to get pregnant, to try the recommendations in this guide, since they have proven to be helpful to thousands of women round the world.

Get Her Pregnant

Stay Away From These Sexual Positions So You Do Not Get Pregnant
Positions in sexual intercourse can be fun but should be taken more seriously when a responsible couple is trying to have a baby. There are some factors which come into play as the idea of having a baby enters into the mind of each parent such as the amount of sexual intercourse you have and the womans menstrual cycle.

For some couples they may need the assistance of a fertility doctor while for other people it is fairly easy to get pregnant. This is positive and negative as in some cases you and your partner do not always want to have a pregnancy be the result during intercourse.

If you are an older aged couple and do not seek or want to become pregnant you should fully understand your ovulation cycle on your own or with a fertility doctor.

Sometimes, it can be a little difficult to ascertain the optimal sexual positions to conceive or to figure out the positions to not try during love making. Please review the positions below to NOT TRY when having intercourse if you do not want to get pregnant.

Positions to Stay Away From

1. The missionary position is to be ruled out at all costs unless you definitely want to get pregnant fast. In this position, the male lies on top of the female on the bed, securing himself between her legs. This way it gives him access to maximum penetration, and enables the male's penis to get very near to the female's cervix during the ejaculation

2. The doggie style, or rear-entry position, occurs when the male enters the female from the rear. The sperm is then deposited nearest to the cervix which significantly helps in increasing the possibility of conceiving. So, if you do not want to get pregnant, cross this one out.

3. The scissor position is whereby the male and female are opposite sides of each other, and touch each other reproductive organs.

Position to Use

Get your bodies shaped into a ninety-degree angle or an L-shape. The L-shape is basically created by joining your partners thighs and your hips.

While the above are tips in lessening your chances of becoming pregnant, it is not foolproof, or Dad-proof. You and/or your partner should regularly use a form of birth control to have safe sexual relations as well as maintaining reproductive responsibility.

Get Me Pregnant

Fertility Vitamins and Prenatal Vitamins
Many women are either confused about what to look for in fertility vitamins or they don't see the need to take vitamins at all. Let me take some time to explain why vitamin supplements are necessary in order to increase your fertility as well as why prenatal vitamins are necessary prior to and during pregnancy for you and your unborn child. Most women don't get the vitamins and minerals needed from the food they eat from day to day. We would have to eat a whole lot of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains in order to get the balance of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to thrive and be our healthiest.

Women's vitamins are especially important when a woman is trying to conceive and during pregnancy. These are specifically called prenatal vitamins.

Prenatal vitamins supply a rich assortment of vitamins and minerals to help a woman conceive and bring forth a healthy baby. These vitamins and minerals are necessary to help keep our hormones balanced and our nervous system running smoothly as well as keeping all our organs functioning optimally.
Let me stress - We all need to take a multivitamin and multi mineral supplement to make up for what is lacking in the food we eat. Even the best diet in the world will not give you all the nutrients you need for your best chance at getting pregnant and bringing forth an optimally healthy child.

So what do you look for? What are the qualities of the best fertility vitamins and prenatal vitamin supplements?

Well, I'm no expert. But I can tell you what I took that helped me to be more fertile and energetic and have a trouble-free pregnancy. I looked into several prenatal vitamins before choosing what I believe to be the best multi vitamin supplement that's all natural and made from organically-grown plant compounds (see below). The other prenatal vitamins were synthetically made with artificial coloring.

I also ate lots of fruits and vegetables and drank a lot of purified water. (See my Preconception page for more on this.) Make sure your multivitamin has at least 400 mcg of folic acid (I took 800 mcg daily) in order to prevent neural tube defects in your unborn baby. This neural tube develops within the first month of life, so it's important to get enough folic acid before you get pregnant.

* Remember that even the best multi vitamin supplement won't replace eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, meats, and drinking lots of purified water. Both a healthy diet and a great multi vitamin supplement are needed to increase your fertility and ensure that you have a healthy pregnancy.

Gender Test

Internet Unborn Baby Gender Test Draws Fire
http://www.expodrugs.com
A test being sold on the Internet allowing future parents to know the gender of their unborn child has come in for criticism.

BBC News reports the procedure uses the pregnant woman's blood obtained from a pin prick and detects whether it has a "Y" chromosome. This would mean the baby would be a boy.

The company marketing the test, DNA Worldwide, claims it is 99 percent accurate and offers a refund if the prediction turns out to be wrong, BBC News reports. The test can be done after six weeks of pregnancy.
It is not new science, the BBC says, but many organizations are concerned that commercial marketing of it could lead to abuse. A number of British anti-abortion groups are opposing the test, fearing that if prospective parents find out that the sex of their unborn baby is not the one they want, they would seek an abortion.

And at least one UK medical group opposes the test. A spokesman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists told the BBC that gender selection under these circumstances is inappropriate. "Focus should remain firmly on the health and care of the mother and developing baby, rather than gender," the BBC quotes a spokesman as saying.

David Nicholson, the director of DNA Worldwide, rejected these concerns, telling BBC News that surveys of those who have used the service in the past year didn't indicate that an increase in abortions was occurring.

Gestation Calculator

Siamese Cat Gestation Calculation
The normal gestation period of a Siamese Cat is about sixty-five days, although this may vary a day or two either side. I like to use day two of the honeymoon as my conception date though with experience of my own girls I may modify this to suit the girl or line in question. I have a useful tool on my website which I call my Feline Gestation Calculator, this may be of use when calculating when your girl is due to have her kittens.

It can be a very exciting and very worrying time when awaiting newborn kittens and I hope some of the worry is taken out of the experience with the aid of this free online tool for working out when the kittens are due to be born. Unfortunately I find that my cats tend not to use a computer when deciding when their kittens are due but prefer to suit themselves. Hopefully though my article and online gestation calculator should help narrow the time to within a couple of days when working out time off from work.

It is not unusual for a maiden queen to go as much as 67 days. If your cat has not given birth by day 72 I would recommend veterinary advice.

Once your Siamese Queen has given birth to her Kittens it may be useful to compare their development with some of the kittens at Burnthwaites Siamese by looking at the online kitten diaries that are constantly updated on the website. I find this a useful point of reference when watching a kittens development.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How far along am i by my due date?
    I am on my phone right now and my internet is being stupid so I can't use the gestation based on due date calculators for some reason. Can someone tell me how far along I am? My due date is June 28th, 2012. Thanks! Also if it gives the option, how many days do I have left? Easy ten points!

    • ANSWER:
      That would put you at about 6-7 weeks!

  2. QUESTION:
    i just found out im pregnant.?
    i had my last period may 13th, 2010. gestation calculators say im 4 weeks pregnant. but why do i feel like im 5 months?! this is my 2nd pregnancy, first one was 3 years ago, and when i was 3 months preg, my ankles swelled up like crazy! my ankles are starting to swell really bad, my breasts are really sore, and i feel uncomfortable when i walk around-- LIKE IM REALLY FAR ALONG. what could cause extreme symptoms in 1st month that make me feel like im a few months?

    • ANSWER:
      you could be a little farther along then you think but also with your second pregnancy, since everything has been stretched out already, you start to show sooner. I felt like that for a while with this pregnancy, like it was uncomfortable to just sit down but it was mostly bloating and it has gone back to normal by now

  3. QUESTION:
    Will you read this...?
    This is my ultimate website http://www.americanpregnancy.org/duringpregnancy/pregcalc.html, and I was doing there Pregnancy Calculator for conception, gestation & due dates just to see what it says since me and my fiance been TTC and I been having symptoms.

      They count the whole Gestational period starting from the date of LMP, thats why the conception is in the middle of your estimated fertility window. By those figures, you still have 3 more good days of baby dancing to get to...I would test with one of those HPT that says results as soon as 5 days of expected missed period and do the test on the 22nd or 23rd of December.

  4. QUESTION:
    Are you awake?
    I was doing this Pregnancy Calculator for conception, gestation & due dates just to see what it says since me and my fiance been TTC and I been having symptoms.

    This is what it said:

    First Day of Last Menstrual Period: 11/25/2007

    Average Length of Cycles: 28

    Estimated Fertility Window: 12/5/2007-12/15/2007

    Baby Danced: 12/ 2, 7, 9

    So, my questions are:

    How is my Estimated Conception Date is in the middle of my Estimated Fertility Window?

    Should I wait until December 24th to test when I am 4 weeks according to the calculator calculations?

    Please give me your advice. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      I would suggest waiting until you've officially missed your period. If you test before then, even if you are pregnant, the HCG levels in your urine could be low enough that they might show as a negative or even the weakest of positive. (This happened to me) I tested to early and it showed neither positive or negative.... then when we looked REAL closely, it showed the faintest positive. So, we went to the doctor for confirmation, but the urine test there did the same thing. The doctor had to actually to a blood draw and test the HCG levels that way to get a strong positive.

      Good luck and God Bless!

    hi ppl, been TTC for a few months, no luck yet...any ideas or tips please. no silly "have sex" answers please, periods are between 28-33 days, not sure on ovulation cant seem to calculator it properly. thanks x
    ( had baby boy in july 07, died 23 wks gestation )

    • ANSWER:
      Contact your OB/GYN, not the nut cases here ..............

      Sorry for your loss.

  7. QUESTION:
    should i wait till week five?
    ok well m have come to th conclusion i am probably prego but it is still a negative test i used a due date calculator from american assoc. of pregnancy and it said my gestation week is only 3 weeks.. I was wondering is that the reason why? I remember that the last time i was pregnant it was not til 5 weeks that i found out before with the 1st pregnancy.. so what does evryone ( ladys) think?
    my prd. was supposed to start sept 27.. it is the 30.. would i have nausea yet?

    • ANSWER:
      I am having this same problem. Without a doubt, I knew that I fell pregnant. Just a woman's instinct, if you will. The fetus isn't implanted until week 3, so it is possible that it is too soon to test. I would just wait a couple of weeks, then test. Have you tried your morning urine?

      It might be a good idea to just get a blood test. That is what I am contemplating. Considering that I have been breastfeeding for a year and have yet to see my pp period, its pointless to wait for a missed period. ;) Good luck!

  8. QUESTION:
    what is my conception date?
    O.K...LETS THROW THAT STUPID "LMP" CALCULATOR OUT THE FRICKIN WINDOW, AND GO BY THIS...

    ON DECEMBER 27, 2007 I HAD AN ULTRASOUND THAT SPECIFIED THE BABY WAS 5WKS AND 6 DAYS GESTATION. SO, DO I COUNT 5 WKS AND 6 DAYS BACK FROM THE 27TH OF DECMEBER TO FIND OUT WHEN CONCEPTION DAY WAS?

    I PUT MY DUE DATE IN THE LMP CALCULATOR AND IT SAYS THAT I CONCIEVED DECEMBER 2ND...IMPOSSIBLE! IF I CONCEIVED DEC 2ND THEN AT THE TIME OF THE ULTRASOUND, THE BABY WOULD OF BEEN 3 WKS NOT 5!
    THE LMP CALCULATOR IS SO OFF AND MAKES NO SENSE ON THE DATE OF CONCEPTION.

    HOW DO I CALCULATE THIS? HELP PLEASE!

    VERY FRUSTRATED

    • ANSWER:
      The date given to you at your ultrasound would be including the first two weeks after your period (in which you technically were not yet pregnant) You are pregnant for 40 weeks from the first day of your last period or 38 weeks from your actual conception date. So if you count back 5 weeks and 6 days from the 27th, that should have been the first day of your last period...meaning the baby's actual age would be 3 weeks, 6 days. Hope you can understand this lol

  9. QUESTION:
    End of first trimester?
    Can someone explain how this works to me? I'm gonna blame it on pregnancy brain, heh. 

    I am currently 11w6d/ Due June 15th. 

    I was googling trimester calculators. The one in baby2see(http://www.baby2see.com/trimester_calculator.html) gives you three options, it depends on what you go by. Development, Gestation, Conception. 

    Well if I am going by development, then TODAY is the first day of my second trimester (Dec 1st). Gestation would be Dec 11th, and Conception would be Dec 20th. 

    But then I saw people talking like this: "12 weeks is your 13th week of pregnancy... it's hard to explain but 2nd tri will start next week when you're 13 weeks but in your 14th week of pregnancy"

    How can I be such&such weeks pregnant, but in the NEXT week of pregnancy? I looked at my calendar, and counting back from my LMP gives me exactly 12 weeks tomorrow, so how could I be in my 13th week? (according to that logic)

    I'm just incredibly confused now.

Every woman who comes to know about her pregnancy will surely want to know the gender of the baby. Nobody would want to wait for the delivery and some curious couples will want to try a few traditional methods that predict the gender. The wedding ring test, food cravings test, acne test, the way the mother carries the baby, the shape of the mother's face and many other tests are conducted to find if the baby is a boy or a girl. Though the ultrasound method can declare the result, the tests are exciting and they can be great fun. The morning sickness baby gender test is one method of knowing if the baby is a boy or a girl. The most common symptom that every pregnant woman experiences is morning sickness. Vomiting sensation and head reeling early in the morning is very frequent and it is seen especially in the first few weeks. As the woman goes in to her second trimester, the morning sickness reduces drastically. Due to many changes in the body and the hormones, the woman feels like vomiting in the morning and also feels uneasy and dizzy.

The morning sickness baby gender test is based on this symptom and it can predict if it is a baby boy or a girl. If the sickness is very high and if the woman vomits continuously, then it is a girl. In case of a boy, the morning sickness reduces after a couple of days and the woman feels normal. Though this is not a test that predicts rightly, it can sometimes come true. If the mother is carrying a girl, there are higher chances of body hormonal changes and that is the reason for the sickness. The morning sickness baby gender test has one more side to it. Food cravings are quite common in pregnant women and they would love to eat a lot. Women who crave for sweets give birth to a baby girl and if the woman wants to eat spicy food, then it is a boy. Due to these cravings, women tend to eat a lot and they experience the morning sickness. This has been proved in many cases and it might come true even for you. So, as soon as you conceive, try this morning sickness baby gender test and see who is growing in your tummy!

    Has anyone ever tried the home pregnancy gender test Intelligender? if so was it correct for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Internal Accuracy results show greater than 95.4% Accuracy

      I havnt used one myself but I think its just best to wait till you are 20 weeks to see on the ultrasound what you are having and I think that thats most accurate. I did however try a website. I tried the chinese gender chart, the hearbeat, and the old wives tales quiz and they did all come out to accuarate for me but its just for fun.

      Heres the site:

  8. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever tried home pregnancy gender test, IntelliGender?
    I saw in ad in the June/July edition of Baby Talk for a product called IntelliGender. The ad states:

    Let IntelliGender tell you with the world's only in-home urine based Gender Prediction Test. At just .95, IntelliGender is a fun, affordable way to learn your baby's gender as early as 10 weeks with immediate results.

    I'm not usually one to fall for scams, so of course I'm skeptical. However - it would be awesome if it is something that worked.

    Has anyone here ever tried it? What were your results like?
    Thank-you so much to everyone who has answered me! I appreciate it! I guess I'm just going to save my money. However if it worked - I may have purchased it. LOL I'm not even pregnant yet (well, I could be...) but I'm kind of impatient. I don't care which sex I end up with, but I love buying baby clothes in colors other than yellow and green. :)

    As to Wimbleton M's response - why did you report me? I'm not a troll and am asking a legitimate question.

    • ANSWER:
      It's a scam. There is no urine test that can predict gender with any accuracy. There is a blood test that can predict about 85% accuracy, but still a waste of money. Just wait until your 18-20 week ultrasound. If you have a sex-linked genetic disorder, a doctor will do CVS or amnio which will give you 100% accuracy.

      Contrary to what many believe, those advertisements in baby and parenting magazines are not checked out for accuracy by the magazine.

  9. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried taking one of the gender pregnancy tests that you can buy on the store?
    Was it accurate for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Mine said girl. dont find out for a little over a week if it was correct.

  10. QUESTION:
    Can the lateness of your pregnancy test determine what gender of baby you'll have?
    So I've noticed a trend with my friends when it comes to babies. Most of us who got a positive pregnancy test early on had girls. Most of them who had a late positive test result had boys. Is this just a weird coincidence in my group of friends or is this common? I've had friends who were pregnant for a month, kept taking tests and they came out negative. And almost all of us who had a girl got a pregnancy test positive before our period's were expected. I've always thought it had to do with the strong hormones you may have with having a girl. But that was just a guess.
    Can anyone add their experiences. Did you get an early test result when having a boy or a late test result from having a girl. I know this isn't an official way of telling, it's just something that has happened in my circle of friends.

    • ANSWER:
      No you can not tell from the pregnancy tests. It would be nice if we could though.

  11. QUESTION:
    Gender test at Target?
    Have any of you lovely ladies gone to the aisle where they have condoms, pregnancy tests, etc at Target? And when you were there did you see the little Gender Test that tells you if you're having a boy or girl? I'm curious to try it out for the fun of it...have any of you used it? I kinda wanna waste 16 bucks on some reindeer games ;D

    • ANSWER:
      I know my husband and I did one for fun on him he is having a girl lol.

  12. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      Yes I done the gender thing online. Utter rubbish!!!!

      At the maternity hospital I'm currently attending, the Doctor can have a look to see what sex the baby is. (The Doctor will tell you they are not always accurate, its an indication).

  14. QUESTION:
    Democrats, republicans, etc: Do you have a problem with gender testing?
    Why or why not..

    A new test to reveal the gender of a fetus in early pregnancy has sparked a row over whether it will lead to sex-selection abortions.

    The American-designed IntelliGender test kit, which can be used from eight weeks after conception, went on sale in Australia last month. Its Australian distributor hopes to launch it in New Zealand within a fortnight.

    David Portnoy, managing director of Melbourne-based Early Image, said yesterday that he was negotiating with health products companies Douglas Pharmaceuticals and API to supply the kits to New Zealand pharmacies.

    He expected they would sell for about 5.

    They do not test pregnancy, so do not require state approval under the Medicines Act, unlike pregnancy tests. To use the new test, a pregnant woman mixes her urine with the kit's chemicals in the supplied container. If it turns green or black, the fetus is a boy; orange or yellow indicate a girl.

    The kits are claimed to be 90 per cent accurate, but because patents have not yet been issued, the maker will not reveal the supporting data or the science of how they work.
    FYI: The American-designed IntelliGender test kit, can determine the gender at eight weeks.

    Normally, at 138 days, you're approximately 19 to 20 weeks the gender can usually be determined through "normal" methods.

  15. QUESTION:
    Are your pregnancy symptoms consistant with your GenderMaker baby gender prediction test results?
    My mother is telling me that the way my belly is shaped, the foods im craving, and my mood all point to me having a boy. I took my GenderMaker test today and it stated that I am going to have a girl. I read the reviews and almost all are positive. Do all these "old-wives" tales work for you all or should I trust GenderMaker?

    • ANSWER:
      I took the Gender test with all three of my kids......They were right for all three!!! I love those test and believe in them very much!!!!

      I dont believe in old wives tales. I broke out with all three of my kids...The old wives tales says it you have a girl she will stela your beauty so you will break out..I think I broke out more with my son than I did with my girl...I am also carrying my son very high and I carried my girls low....none of the old wives tales were right for me!!!!

      The one thing that did also work for all three of my babies was the string trick...I used my wedding band and a strand of my hair and held it above my belly.....If it went in a cirlce it was a girl a straight line was a boy....that worked!!!

      Good luck!!!

    Gender Prediction Test..At Walgreens? Is this for real!?
    I was at Walgreens and spotted this out of the cornor of my eye...Is this for real? Does it work? I'm in shock! LOL!

    Description
    The Intelligender Gender Prediction Test
    IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test (G.P.T.) is a simple in-home urine analysis similar to an in-home pregnancy test which identifies whether an expectant mom is having a boy or a girl.

    First morning urine is collected in the collection cup provided in the G.P.T. kit. A measured amount is added to the test cup and the result is read within minutes. A yellow to orange color represents girl and a "smoky green" color represents boy (see examples below).

    Laboratory tests have an accuracy rate of 90% (in-home results of 82%), depending on the stage of pregnancy.

    The test can be performed as early as eight weeks of gestation (10 weeks of pregnancy). A simple instruction sheet is provided with the test as well as a toll free number should you have any questions.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! We hope that you will be blessed with a happy, healthy baby and you have great fun along the journey to delivery!

    My sister in law is trying for a baby...she isn't pregnant yet but I thought when she does get pregnant I would surprize her with this. What do you think? A waste of money or the real thing!
    Princess Nicki-If you do it let me know lol i'm excited.

    • ANSWER:
      haha i actually heard about this the other day.... i think it just sounds like fun whether she wants to kno the sex of the baby or not (because it could always be wrong) and if you really do want to know she could always get the second opinion from her dr when shes far along enough. im 34 weeks and know the sex of my baby but i think im gonna go out and get one...it seems like fun =)

      But i wouldnt mind getting one if i did or didnt know its just always something fun to do

  17. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Gender Maker test?
    Obviously they are not 100% accurate and just for fun but i was wondering if anyone had or knows of someone who had tried this test and if the results were correct. And at how many weeks did you test.

    I have just brought one for £15 so not a lot of money should it be incorrect, and the makers offer a 100% money back guarrantee if the baby proves to be the opposite sex to what the test predicts.

    For those of you that dont know, the test is very similar to a home pregnancy test.

    I will of course be asking at my 20 week scan the sex so this test is just for fun, all i want to know is howlikely it is to be accurate!
    Obv results are 50/50 so thanks but not massively helpful!
    And yes.....I know its nnot to be 100% relied upon, so only answers from people who have actually used the product and have an informed opinion please!
    oooh very exciting Gillian!! Make sure you let us know the result! xx

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't pay for something that is not scientific, but I do like doing the Chinese gender test. It was wrong with me though, said I was having a boy when, in fact, I'm definitely having a girl.

      Here's the Chinese one: http://www.fortunebaby.com/chinesegenderpredictionchart.html

  18. QUESTION:
    Strange dream about pregnancy test?
    I had a dream last night that I was reading my pregnancy test. I am not pregnant in real life or trying to get pregnant. The dream wasnt about taking the test, I just was reading the test. I look down at it and the test reads
    + / Him + For positive and Him for gender.
    I know real-life pregnancy tests cant tell you gender, but what do you think this dream was saying?

    • ANSWER:
      Pregnancy could mean of heavy responsibilities, desire or fear; However, in your case reading the test may not necessarily mean any of those.

      When you project this test, this may symbolize some sort of assurance you are looking for. Furthermore, you project positive for him for gender, that reflects something more than just an assurance. In other words, you are looking for extra confirmation in something in life.

      This dream may not focus on anything like relationship because in your life, you had no intention nor you are being pregnant. Basically, this dream focuses on assurance and confirmation on things you feel you may have to do in the future and you dream it out.

  19. QUESTION:
    Did anyone else use Gendermaker gender prediction test?
    I ordered Gendermake gender prediction test today, and wanted to know if anyone else used it and was it accurate. I am very excited to try it, I read some positive reviews on pregnancy forum about this test, i know its just for fun, but i am still excited to see what it will say.

  20. QUESTION:
    ) Old wives tales pregnancy symptoms vs. gender prediction tests, what is your take on this?
    What have been your experiences with either the old wives tales about pregnancy symptoms of the gender prediction tests. What has been the most accurate for you?

    • ANSWER:
      When I was pregnant, my pregnancy symptoms were all over the place so it was difficult for me to really use the old wives tales. My baby boy (just found out!) I carried low but the heartbeat was pretty fast. So I wasn't sure what I was having at the time. Then I took a gender predictor test called GenderMaker that a friend of mine recommended and the results said it would be a boy, and it was right! So for me the gender prediction tests are way better.

  21. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      You will start to notice the "bump" at the beginning of the second trimester Jordyn, about 13 - 20 weeks. Chinese tests and old wives forklore tales should be best left at that Hun... it's not scientific.

    OK im 5 days late for my period and i decided that im going to wait until next week to take a pregnancy test.

I have had 4 pregnancies...2 were miscarriages and i have 2 kids now.. when i did this about a month ago i was told b g b g b... well today i tried the wedding band trick and it swung back and forth and stopped. I did this on my left hand and over my stomach today more than once with both ways and all it did was swing back and forth then stop... Im confused i thought it was supposed to tell you all the kids you have had! Has anyone had this happen to them? ? What does it mean? i know this is all in fun just wondering! THanks

    • ANSWER:
      Since you realize that it's all in fun, why are you putting any bearing on it?

      How can a baby boy make the ring swing one way or another?!?!

  24. QUESTION:
    My doctor is giving me a test and i heard it's not good for pregnancy?
    Is the Chorionic villus test bad for the pregnancy??? How do they give you this test? also i know that this test is to find possible defects but can't they also find out gender through this test?? anyone who has been given this test can you tell me about your experience??
    Also i'll be roughly 14-16 weeks when i get this test

    • ANSWER:
      The CVtest comes with risks.

      First, why are you consenting to the test if you don't want it and don't know what it is?

      Second, you only really need this test (unless you WANT it, which it sounds like you don't) if you have a history of birth defects in your or your husband's family.

      Third, there are other tests that can be done that are non-invasive. There is something called a Triple Screen that detects the chances of your baby having down's syndrome, trisomy and one other defect. It is a series of two simple blood tests. If this test shows elevated risk, that's the time to go with the CVtest or even an amnio.

      Otherwise, you have the total right to refuse whatever sort of testing. It is your body, your pregnancy and your choice. Make sure that you are doing ALL of your research and homework so that YOU can make your own informed decisions!

  25. QUESTION:
    Will tests that reveal gender very early in pregnancy cause an increase in selective sex abortion?
    Exerpts from:
    Test reveals gender early in pregnancy
    Ethicists fear use in sex selection
    By Carey Goldberg, Globe Staff | June 27, 2005
    http://www.boston.com/yourlife/health/women/articles/2005/06/27/test_reveals_gender_early_in_pregnancy/

    "A new blood test being marketed to American women offers them the chance to find out whether they are having a boy or a girl almost as soon as they realize they are pregnant, as early as five weeks along.

    Just two or three days after mailing the test overnight to a Lowell lab for processing, a pregnant woman can know what color to paint the nursery -- or even decide whether to get an abortion if she wants a child of the opposite sex, a prospect that worries ethicists."

    "But ethicists asked about this early, commercial application of fetal DNA testing say it raises concerns about sex selection, particularly in societies and immigrant groups where boy babies are preferred."

    ''You can tiptoe around it, but the fact is that if you're sending information about sex, then you're in the sex-selection testing business," said bioethicist Arthur Caplan of the University of Pennsylvania. He would not ban the test, he said, but ''I would condemn it."

    ''The sex test is very controversial because it's not clear that you want to broadly facilitate the ability of people to sex-select embryos at a very early stage," he said. ''It's potentially abusable."

    He is aware of the potential ethical concern of sex selection, Melekhovets said, but contends that the problem is not the product, but what is done with it."

    ''We supply the information," he said, ''and what you do with the information is up to you."

    What are the possible ramifications of this test being commonly used? Do the makers of these tests have a responsibility to ensure it's proper and ethical use? Do you think tests, such as this one, will increase the instance of selective sex abortion?

    • ANSWER:
      He is aware of the potential ethical concern of sex selection, Melekhovets said, but contends that the problem is not the product, but what is done with it."

      This is the problem.... people come up with these "advancements" in the name of profit, without any thought to how they may be used. It should not be on the open market until the ethical issues are addressed.

  26. QUESTION:
    didn't get a positive pregnancy test for 3 weeks!!?
    Why did that happen? It is supposed to take 2 weeks right? Does it mean its a certain gender.

    • ANSWER:
      2 weeks is the minimum, not the maximum.

      It can take almost two weeks to become pregnant in the first place, and not everyone excretes enough hcg in their urine for an accurate early result.

      But no, it doesn't have anything to do with the sex of your child.

  27. QUESTION:
    DRANO TEST FOR PREGNANCY, TO ALL YOU TRIED IT PLEASE?
    please answer only if YOU done this test, i know its harmful and all the bad things about it, so you dont have to respond negative, anyways, if you have done it what color did your turn? what gender did you have, and was it accurate?
    if you look up the drano test smart a** you dont drink it, you piss in it duhhhhhh, do answer if you dont know what im talking about

    • ANSWER:
      You should never, ever drink Drano. That could kill you!

  28. QUESTION:
    Question about female pregnancy and periods?
    I have a gender class and im have a hard time understanding this. We got into talking about all the possible mistakes that males and females make. If a girl has unprotected sex on monday under the influence, but then friday she gets her period, can that possibly rule out all chances of pregnancy? what is the time table for the sperm to fertilize the egg that would trigger a positive pregnancy test?

    • ANSWER:
      That would pretty much rule out all chances of pregnancy. Most women ovulate 14 days after the first day of their period. So it sounds like she's having sex on the 24th day of her cycle. Sperm can't survive for more than 3 days tops and an egg can't survive for more than one day unfertilized. So it would be nearly impossible for her to be pregnant.

  29. QUESTION:
    Link between HPT and gender of baby.?
    Just for fun, I was wondering if there was a link between home pregnancy test and the gender of your baby.
    I've always used first response HPT with all three of my pregnancy's. Have you found a link between the color/definition and the gender of your baby.
    First pregnancy: Very light line, had a boy
    #2: DARK line, had a girl
    #3: very light line, find out next week what we are expecting.

    Again, this is just for fun. If you can remember that far back was your line light or dark, and what gender baby did you have?

    Also, I tested for all 3 of my pregnancy's the day before my period, or 13 days after ovulation.
    Today 8/31/10 I had a sonogram with my third pregnancy, and am indeed having a boy. Possibly some womens hcg levels do infact reflect the gender of the baby.
    Thanks for the feed back!

    • ANSWER:
      My first was a boy. All the while, every line I ever saw on a test was dark. My second was also a boy, and I believe every line I ever saw with him was light. Obviously, the hue of the lines involved will depend entirely upon your hcg levels; there's some suggestion in the medical community that hcg levels vary depending upon the gender of the baby you're carrying, but this hasn't been proven one way or the other, to the best of my knowledge.

      Still, an interesting question!

  30. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Test that tells you the sex of baby at eight weeks?
    Does anyone believe this crap? There is test that you can now get that (if taken at eight weeks gestation or more) can tell you the sex of your baby. The company who makes the tes claims that they found a specific vitamin/gene/whatever in a mother's urine that is only present if the fetus is a girl.
    If this is in fact true, what good could come of it? They are only 80%* accurate (eg; 1 on 5 are incorrect) and the company who makes this test has no apparent proof that it really works.
    People believe that these tests will only course more abortions (due to the parents being unsatisfied with the gender and as it is before the 12 week period will get an abortion). They also believe that due to the inaccuracy of the test many parents will be fooled into thinking they are having a boy when they are actually having a girl and vice versa.

    What is your opinion of this? Do you believe it?
    I don't. Even if this test did work i think i would rather wait for my ultra-sound so i can see for myself.
    Yeah that is true. It was a great surprise when my nephew was born but it is a personal choice really.
    i just want my baby to be healthy. that's all that matters to us.
    They are 90% accurate but apparently on the website it says the are only 80% accurate. So TV says anyway. Unfortunately i didn't catch the website otherwise i would post a link :)

    • ANSWER:
      Hey Keshizzle! That's bazaar I've never heard of them. I think it's really an obnoxious idea though honestly. I mean if it's only 80% accurate, why can't people just wait the extra 8 weeks, and find out then? I think it will increase abortions, as horrible as it sounds people are shallow like that and would consider termination based on the sex, so sad! And then there's a 20 % chance that it was actually the sex they wanted anyways. I like the idea of knowing ahead of time at like 16-20 weeks because it allows me to plan, colors, clothing, etc... but really I could care less about the sex of the baby. We're lucky to just be able to have children when you think about it so many women cannot conceive. I feel blessed, I could care less if I wind up with 10 boys (not that I'd have that many kids LOL). I think it's almost selfish to want to determine the sex of the baby, sure it's ideal to have one boy and one girl, but shouldn't we all just be happy that we have beautiful, healthy children? How can we complain about having a male or female when so many can't have any at all? Lame lame lame! LOL.
      Hope you had an amazing Momma's day Keshizzle. Adam stamped hand prints of Calebs hands in green paint on a hand made card for me, it about made me melt! How's the prego belly feeling? Let me know how it's all going. Love yasss.

  31. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the "pencil" or "ring" test for gender?
    I did the "pencil test" (aka the ring test - you know with the string over your belly or wrist) and it came out "girl, boy, girl". It has done that since I was a little kid. I have one child, a boy, but I had a pregnancy before that. I would like to have another one. It would be interesting to see if I had a girl!

    For those that have done this "test", how accurate has it been?
    Thanks for all of your "how stuipd are you" and "get an ultrasound" answers. =) I should have clarified that I was wondering the results FOR FUN and know that the MOST accurate gendering of a baby is WHEN IT IS BORN. Even ultrasounds are known to be incorrect. I just thought it would be fun to see what others "test results" were. That is it. Period. For fun. Not depending on this. Just for fun. Fun.

    Oh - and thanks for the sarcasim! I love it! It makes me smile (no sarcasim here - for real!) =)

    • ANSWER:
      when i was pregnant i did the 'spoon and fork test' (you blind your eyes and someone places two chairs in font of you and on top of them they put a spoon and in the other one a fork, then you have to choose a chair to sit on without knowing where the fork n spoon are, if you pick the one with the spoon you are gonna have a girl and if you pick the fork you are getting a boy). It did worked for me, picked the spoon, got a girl :)

  32. QUESTION:
    Gender test question...what do you think?
    I took a gender test last week and it said I am having a girl. I definitely felt different with this pregnancy then I did when I had my son. I am almost 14 weeks pregnant. I read about the reliability of the test online and some posts about people who have used it. I was wondering if anyone else has used it and if it was right for them. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I ACTUALLY USED THE TEST..IT SAID I WAS HAVING A GIRL..BUT IT WAS A BOY..WE WERE SO SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE A GIRL BECAUSE OF THE HIGH ACCURACY RATE..BUT I WOULDN'T GET MY HOPES UP..JUST WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS..JUST THINK PREGNANCY TEST CAN BE WRONG AND SO CAN THE GENDER TEST...GOOD LUCK

  33. QUESTION:
    help please ?
    hello i have a question about a pregnancy gender test. the test is called intelligender gender prediction test. well my question is has anyone tried it and the answer the test gave was it accurate ? i did research and i cant seem to find alot on the test except for what the site says. any answers are appreciated.

    • ANSWER:
      is it an online one??
      It would just be a prediction - nothing certain tho

      If you really want to know yr baby's sex, it will have to be done thro amniocetesis (however its spelt) where yr amniotic fluid is tested and the baby's gender is determined
      There is a small risk of miscarriage attached to that tho

      If your gender prediction test is free, by all means have fun on it

      But its just a prediction not a definite

      A sonogram helps as well

      All in all, i think a healthy baby is all that matters whether its a gal or boy:-)

      All the best & congrats

  34. QUESTION:
    Ring test for gender of child.?
    We had someone do the ring test for gender of our current pregnancy and i am confused by the results. It was absolutely still then started swinging back and forth then it was absolutely still again then started spinning. Why would it do this. I am not having twins.

    • ANSWER:
      Maybe the test doesn't know yet! It was right about my son (My first) but it was wrong about my second, (also a Boy) Like any other folksy test it is really 50/50. Good Luck on the new baby!! Congrats

  35. QUESTION:
    Did you guess the gender of your baby correctly?
    Last time I was pregnant I just *knew* it was a boy from the moment I saw my pregnancy test come up positive. I was right, it was a boy. This time I feel like it's a girl but I won't find out for another 10 weeks or so.

    I think most ladies try to guess the gender of their baby. How many of you were right or wrong in your guesses? =)

    • ANSWER:
      I know exactly what you mean about just "knowing"!! My first baby I was just positively sure it was a boy by the time my ultrasound came around & he was! My second baby I was convinced was a girl & sure enough she was as sweet and as girly as any girl could be! But I am now pregnant with my 3rd & I was pretty convinced that it was a girl too, but 21 week ultrasound was very much boy, NO DOUBT =-) So I was right the first two times anyway! Good luck & I hope everything goes great for you!!

  36. QUESTION:
    What's a fun way to announce the gender?
    My husband announced my pregnancy to our family by inviting them over to watch a slide show of a camping trip we all did together, and in the credits, put in our names and then a picture of 3 positive pregnancy tests and gave credit to "baby" too.

    On the 21st we get to find out the sex (we're SO excited!) but need help thinking of a fun way to announce the sex to everyone. We've planned for everyone to come over that evening so we can tell them, but HOW should we announce it?

    Any suggestions help!

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      I didn't do this with my son, but my friend did this with her first daughter:

      When you go to the ultrasound appointment, ask if you can get the video. My friend showed this video to us before announcing the baby's sex. We got to see the hands, feet, little body... but all the while we were anxiously awaiting the little typed words on the screen telling us the gender. Then, finally, and quite slowly, the letter began to type: "It's....A.....Girl!" It was so exciting and so fun to not only see the ultrasound but get to anxiously await what she would have. During the video we kept guessing, " I think it will be a boy." "No, no, it will be a girl." Haha, so fun! Good luck!

  37. QUESTION:
    After trying to conceive, I'm 12 days late on my period with 5 negative pregnancy test outcomes.?
    We've been trying for the past 4 months to conceive since being married. Having intercourse especially when ovulating. I have taken several (5) at home pregnancy tests. Once every few days since I was late on my period. Now it's day twelve. This is what I've been going through:

    - No period or SIGN OF PERIOD since it was supposed to start 12 days ago
    -Immense craving for tomatoes (lasted about 2 weeks)
    - After day 4 of missed period, the smell of cooking garlic brought a wave of nausea
    -Loss of appetite (still eating, but not nearly as much)
    -EXTREMELY touchy and emotional
    -Light cramping (as if I was still on my period) but more on the sides then in the center of my pelvis
    - Mini break-outs on my face (not normal since I was in my early 20's)
    - Nausea, but the actual act was completed with 'assistance' since I'm not much of a vomit-er...
    - Kind of embarrassing, but my BM's are way more liquid-y and harder to control. I know, TMI...

    My husband called it when his X-wife was pregnant both times, and ALL OF THE SUDDEN even after many a scare before, he's calling it now. But I cannot escape the fact that ALL of my tests came back negative. I've tried urinating directly on the stick and letting the stick soak in a cup of urine anywhere from 5-10 seconds depending on the directions. EPT, Clear Blue Easy and Equate Brand pregnancy tests can all be found used and in the garbage.

    It's so hard not to get my hopes up. I find myself wondering about baby names, baby genders, the kinds of parents he and I will be, etc. But then I'll stop myself in a HARSH way once I realize the test result is negative... again...

    I have been told before that if someone wants to be pregnant bad enough their body will trick them into having pregnancy symptoms without the awesome outcome (a precious baby). So is my body just creating these symptoms without me even thinking about symptoms? How long does it usually take for the HCG to show up on a urine test? What do I ask the Dr. for if, by week 3, I'm still showing negative?

    • ANSWER:
      you may have a defctive batch.

  38. QUESTION:
    Anyone ever tried that gender predicting test "Pink or Blue"?
    I just recently heard of the "Pink or Blue gender test" that is available to take about 10 weeks after the 1st day of your last period!! I was really excited about trying this and not having to wait until I get into my 4th month of pregnancy to find out the sex.....

    Has anyone ever used this before? Does it really work? I saw online at tellmepinkorblue.com that it was about 0. to find out... Thanks for answers :)
    If that friend of yours ordered from this site that I named, they should of gave her her money back then. Because it says it's 95% accurate and if it failed you get a refund :-/

    • ANSWER:
      The reason doctor's have you wait until the 4th month before determining the sex of the baby is because before than the baby has not developed enough to determine the sex. You might have heard that all babies start out as girls. this is true because certain hormones are necessary for the child to develop into a boy. i would say that the gender test would probably have a lot of girl results, even if later you find out its a boy...I wouldn't waste the money! Hope this helps

  39. QUESTION:
    Who knows about the red cabbage gender test?
    I have been seeing videos and blogs about the red cabbage gender test. Boil the cabbage for ten minutes and then mix equal amounts of urine and juice in a cup and if it turns red or pink it is a boy, or if it turns purple it is a girl... I tried it just for fun (I am having LOTS of fun with this pregnancy trying to see if these things can be right) and it turned RED!! Everything else FUN that I have tried also said boy and that is what I am hoping for. I know they say the red cabbage detects the ph in your urine.. I was wondering if any of you have tried it or knew someone that tried it and it was an accurate result or not so accurate. lol. Let me know. :D

    **LIKE I SAID, I DID THIS FOR FUN SO DO NOT COME ON HERE MAKING RUDE COMMENTS!!! THAT IS VERY IRRITATING.

    • ANSWER:
      truthfully, i have NEVER heard of this before- but it sounds very interesting!

      But unfortunately, the level of PH can not determine whether its a boy or a girl.

      I took two of the intelligender tests-
      http://www.intelligender.com/home.html

      And the first one i got "girl", the second one i got "boy".

      Point being is- I wasn't pregnant at the time i took both of them!

      I may be wrong, but the dr. told me there is no way to test ph or hcg levels to determine sex of the baby. It's just luck of the draw :]

  40. QUESTION:
    two questions i really want answwers on?
    i had sex with a guy and he said he might of came in the beginning...i was wondering if its worth taking a pregnancy test for? i keep hearing that precum doesnt contain sperm so i dont know if i would be wasting money getting a test or if i should get one. tonight im around my ovulating cycle so we r gonna try and get pregnant also i was wondering if those gender maker tests really work to tell the gender? im thinking of ordering one once i get pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      You can test, but the best time to test is starting the day your period is due. The longer past your period due date, the more accurate the result will be.

  41. QUESTION:
    Anyone familiar with the old wives tale ring and chain gender test?
    Well you put a ring (i used my wedding ring) on a chain and hold it above your hand while it is not spinning. If it starts to go in a circle it's a girl if it goes back and forth a boy. Well I have done this with my last 2 pregnancies, my sisters, and countless friends every time it has been right. Well with this pregnancy I have done it several times and it will start to go back and forth then in a circle, i have never seen this before and am hoping for twins. I feel like there's two but i don't get an ultrasound for another week so just thought it would be fun to see what someone else thought.

    • ANSWER:
      It has working for everyone in my family aswell, and the same thing happens to me, also if I hold it on my right side it atomatically goes in a circle and on my left side it goes back and forth, and same as you when I hold it in the middle it goes back and forth then into a circle.
      3 of my cousins have twins, 1 of them is pregnant with them right now so it does have me wondering if mine are too. I find out July 3rd.

  42. QUESTION:
    has anyone here tried one of those gender predictors?
    they work just like pregnancy tests except predict your baby's gender, they retail for 30 dollars at walgreens...would it be a waste of money to buy one? has anyone else bought one and was the prediction right? i'm not poor but i'm also not the richest person and could put the 30 dollars towards something else for the baby if it's too far fetched

    • ANSWER:
      Don't waste your money dear. My friend just used one, it said boy, and her ultrasound a week later said girl. Not worth it, buy some diapers instead. :)

  43. QUESTION:
    Intelligender Gender Predictor Test?
    Has anyone used the Intelligender Gender Predictor Test or knows someone who has? If so, how accurate where the results for you or the person you knew who took it?
    I'm thinking about using it. Its supposedly 90% accurate in lab results but only 82% accurate in the "real world" results.
    I would really love to know what I'm having instead of waiting until my 20th week of pregnancy. It supposedly can be taken as early as 8 weeks gestation and I'm now 13 weeks. The price isn't too bad either!!!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't mind spending .+ on a novelty then get it. I ordered one yesterday. if you look at their "testimonials" you will see it's a pretty mixed bag. i think it will be fun, not reliable.

  44. QUESTION:
    is it to soon to show test results for pregnancy?
    me and my bf had sex like 2 weeks ago and last weekend my period is due this sun or wen is it to early to tell if i am pregnant or not if so how long do i have to wait? by the way do u guys like the names Aaliyah jade and dante gabriel if not any suggestions on either genders names

  45. QUESTION:
    Getting a specific gender in Sims 3?
    K so, I'm trying to get a baby boy. My friend told me that eating specific foods will produce babies of specific genders. To test it, all throughout her pregnancy my sim ate nothing but apples and watermelons. I now have a set of triplets (all girls). What are the 'wonder foods' for baby boys?

    and no, I'm not adopting.
    Ahha, perhaps thats what it was..... I planted an apple tree just for the occasion.

    • ANSWER:
      Actually, I heard that apples were the food you had to feed to get a boy. Plain apples, apple pancakes, etc. But don't have any watermelons, because that'll give you a girl.

Get Pregnancy

How Early Can You Get Pregnancy Symptom: Listen To Your Bodys Signals
While the general consensus is only from the fifth or sixth week of conception, how early can you get pregnancy symptom is a query many pregnant women answer on their own. Many of them say they feel symptoms within the first two weeks after conception after which they confirm their suspicions through a pregnancy test.

A universal indicator of how early can you get pregnant symptom are sore breasts. Breasts may begin to be sore and tender to the touch even before the time of the period, so you can rely on this sign to tell you whether or not you may be pregnant.

Headaches and feeling sickly are two other signs of how early can you get pregnancy symptom. Headaches are frequent in early pregnancy but are rarely serious. If you get an occasional headache, you could ask your physician about taking the medicine acetaminophen when the head begins to hurt. You can feel sickly throughout the day with nausea and an extreme tiredness in your bones. All you want to do then is go on a liquid diet and stay in bed all day (and night).

The feeling that you are sore all over may persist right from the beginning of your having conceived. Medical evidence announces that it isn't possible until after a missed period in order for the hormones to build up and cause the symptoms. However, from the personal experiences of many pregnant women, they begin to sense that they are pregnant with the sixth instinct that hints there is another being inside them now. Sometimes it makes sense to trust your own instincts and your bodies’ signs and take it from there.

You are pregnant when your stomach hurts, your breast feel sore and you experience nausea, some movements in the stomach tell you there is something there, and you feel the aches and strains of your body sooner than usual. Meaning, these are the body’s wake-up call to announce your pregnancy without a doctor having confirmed it.

Pregnancy symptoms can vary in their intensity, frequency and duration. How early can you get pregnant symptoms is only a guideline.

Why you may be confused is because many of the earliest pregnancy symptoms can appear similar to routine pre-menstrual discomforts. Suppose, you are not trying to conceive, you might think it is just your period coming on again, when in reality you may be experiencing very early signs of pregnancy.

At the same time, if you are trying to conceive, you may be frustrated when you think you may be experiencing early symptoms of pregnancy but in reality experiencing only pre-menstrual symptoms. It is sometimes that hard to tell the difference between early pregnancy symptoms and the indications that you may be menstruating soon.

How early can you get pregnancy symptoms may also include a wide variety of physical and emotional changes. These may include any or all of the pregnancy symptoms listed above. Although each of these are considered typical early symptoms of pregnancy, they may happen earlier or later than the order in which they are usually put forth. By paying careful attention to these, you can detect how early can you get pregnancy symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How long after sex should I get tested for pregnancy?
    My husband and I had sex on the last day of my period, I was bleeding very lightly. He used a condom, and it didn't break or slip off. The condom was not expired, and we stored it in a cool, safe place so the latex wasn't damaged. I'm still paranoid because he came inside me when the condom was still on, and I'm not taking the pills or using any other contraceptive methods.

    Can the IUD give you any similar pregnancy symptoms? or Can you get pregnant while on it?
    sometimes I just don't feel like doing ANYTHING.. I wake up, just blank. and lately I've had darker pee color than normal, I drink lots of water, so week ago it was all clear. I'm on the IUD, I got it a month after having my son. I know I don't want any more kids!! (or, maybe at least not too soon!). it's been almost 2 years now, since getting the IUD. & last had sex about a week, or two ago.and now since I just ate half an hour ago, got full. & now I'm hungry again!! like, SUPPER hungry, as if I haven't aten anything yet :(

      While rare, it is not impossible to become pregnant while using an IUD. You do have several symptoms and sometimes, you just know. But you need to see a doctor now, because it is not safe to use birth control while you are pregnant. Don't wait for a month, whatever you do.

Gender Tests

PH Test Strips For Baby Gender
The other day, I received an email from someone wanting more information about the PH strips that I sometimes refer to in my articles. She wanted to know whether these were used before conception or after it. Specifically, she wanted to know if there were any strips that could determine baby gender after pregnancy. I have seen strips that test the mother-to-be's blood some months after pregnancy. I have my doubts as to how accurate they are and, since they can't be used until months into pregnancy, I have no idea why someone wouldn't just get a reliable ultrasound instead.

This article will address the strips that test PH before conception (rather than those that test blood after it.) It will also focus on the regimen that can affect your baby's gender before you actually become pregnant.

Information On The Strips That You Can Use Before You Conceive To Help You Influence Your Baby's Potential Gender: What I usually talk about are strips that measure your body's PH to help you determine if you are alkaline or acidic. The reason that this is important is that an acidic reproductive tract will be more favorable to a girl conception while an alkaline environment makes a boy more likely. But, there's other ways that you can use these strips also.

If you get a reading that you want to change, then you can tweak your diet and use different douches to try and get a more desirable reading. For example, if you want a girl but are getting a ready that shows you're more likely to get a boy, you could begin a regimen that is meant to eventually bring this around. The strips continue to come into play because you will continue to regularly test to see how much progress you are making and to know when you have reach the levels to indicate that it's now safe and desirable to go ahead and conceive the gender that you want.

Other Things That Become Important: These strips are, at least in my opinion, one of the two types of tools that are optimal to use. You'll also need to know the day on which your ovulation happens (and it's optimal that you can anticipate this beforehand.) The reason that this is important is that the day on which you want to conceive is different depending on whether you want a boy or a girl.

For a female baby, you want to conceive prior to ovulation and for a male baby, you want to conceive afterward. The tool that makes this more achievable is a good ovulation predictor. Both urine and saliva are good, but saliva is a little better (in my view) at giving you more of a warning beforehand.

The final thing that can help is something that doesn't require any special tools or talents. In addition to timing and PH, the position that you use to conceive can help also. This is likely things that you're already doing or can easily change if you are not. If you want a son, use positions that allow deep deposits into the cervix. This helps to minimize the boy sperm's weakness and it's difficulty with long travels. For a daughter, you'll want to make the deposit further away from the cervix as this helps to weed more boys out before they are hopefully exposed to the acidic environment that you've set up.

I hope this article has shown you that although there are two types of strips that people discuss, only one of them is important in determining gender before conception. And, they can also help you to tweak your regimen to ensure you're happy with the result after conception.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Get Her Pregnant Games

How to Touch a Woman and Get Her Excited
How to Touch a Woman and Get Her Excited

When you want to get a woman excited, touching is next in the natural progression, after conversation. Women are extremely sensual creatures. They truly enjoy being touched. But, if you go to fast or are too heavy-handed, they'll also let you know in a heartbeat that they're no longer interested in you.

There is a series of steps to take when getting a woman excited. Those steps orbit around how reassured she is about what your doing. Watch how she moves; look out for signs of her being uncomfortable. Keep your libido in check, or she'll check out.

Start slow. Touch her hand or arm. These are safe areas, but they start everything in motion. She will become accustomed to you touching her if you start here. When the conversation becomes more intimate, start stroking her hand. Go from the wrist to the fingertips. This is very sensual for a woman.

When she comes closer because she like how you are making her feel, keep holding her hands and kiss her fingers. If she smiles and is a little flushed in the face, you know that you are making her feel warm and secure.

Move from her hands, taking one finger and go up the side of her arm to her shoulders. There are a lot of erogenous nerve endings in this area of her arms. She is likely to shiver a little say you're tickling her. Don't take this as a rebuke. She's enjoying the playfulness.

When you reach her shoulders, go to the back of her neck. All the nerves of the body pass through this area and it's very sensitive. Also, particularly if she works in an office, any touching done on her shoulders and back of her neck will feel luxurious to her. If she says that this feels really good, take a moment and gently massage her neck.

After reaching the neck and shoulders, run your finger through the lower part of the back of her head, wrapping your fingers in her hair. Your are continuing to talk, tease, and play with her, and she is loving it. Then go for a kiss.

She will definitely be in the mood and will begin advances on her own at this point.

Gender Selection Cost

Ethical Issues Of Gender Selection The idea and practice of gender selection has become increasingly popular in recent years and with recent advances in technology. Currently three methods of gender selection are available, each one varies in degree of technology, precision, and of course cost. Staining technology and sperm sorting are the first two options. PGD, being the most costly, is also the most debatable of the three techniques.

PGD was not originally performed for gender selection, but instead as a way to identify embryos that show signs of genetic disorder. The aim was to minimize the risk that couples with a history of genetic disorder would have a child with genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. While PGD is commonly used for the purpose of reducing the risk of genetic abnormalities, the real is issue is when it is used purely for the purpose of gender selection.

The cause of concern is the problems that occur resulting from discriminating against one gender over another. The problem is that that most couples seek this procedure to have boys. Unnecessary gender selection raises concerns of creating and sustaining a gender discriminatory society. Supporters argue that it would only increase the value of women due to more competition among men. Those who oppose the idea do so on the basis that it would not create value for women but the exact opposite. This type of free-will creates an artificial imbalance and is a breeding ground for larger issues.

Religious and ethical views frown on individuals trying to play God and the issue that children are now becoming marketable commodities. After choosing the gender, you don't have to stop there, you can choose eye and hair color also, in essence you can design your own baby. Another ethical issue with PGD is what to do with the remaining embryos that do not fit the desired criteria. For those who believe that life has actually started at this stage, it becomes an issue of throwing away or aborting a life.

To avoid falling into the ethical trap, many clinics only perform PGD for health precautions, which includes gender selection for the purpose of avoiding sex-related diorders. However, with increasing demand, more and more facilities are offering gender selection regardless of reason. Couples who have chosen gender selection should not be singled out as being unethical because often times the decision is simply based on personal preference or societal factors without considering the ethical issues involved. For those suffering from infertility, the issue is less likely to arise, as value is placed on being able to conceive a child whether male or female.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    thoughts on the future of gender selection?
    in the next 20 years, what do you think will happen to laws, cost, accuracy, ethics etc of gender selection technologies?

    • ANSWER:
      The right-wing religious apologists will not allow such freedoms as gender section to take hold, so your question is academic. Anyway, the natural balance would prevail in the end if there were too many boys or too many girls.

      The economy would be negatively affected if there were too many girls (less work-force...) just look around you: who does more (outside the house) work? However the world would be a more peaceful place, since men are war mongers...

  2. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had Gender Selection via PGD?
    my husband and i want to have a boy and a girl. we are planning on adopting a boy and then later we want to have a biological daughter. we do not want a biological son thats why we want to adopt a son and chose the gender to have a girl. i know its possible through gender selection if you have pgd done but i wanted to know if anyone here had had this done and if so how was there experience. also we wanted to know how much this procedure would cost(since we will be spending a lot on an adoption as well). thank you to anyone with some insight.

    • ANSWER:
      I recommend you read this:

  3. QUESTION:
    Gender Selection Clinics?
    Just wondering if anyone knows if the Gender Selection clinics would make you pay any extra costs if i were to want twins instead of just one? does anyone know if twins would cost more? or would it be the same price...

    • ANSWER:
      Don't take the child you have for granted. Don't try to play God. It's God's decision what color hair/eyes/skin your baby has,and whether you have one or two babies. Not yours. Don't take it for granted. At least you can get pregnant,some women would kill for that chance. Why would you select everything about it? It sickens me that you'd love a child less because it's not how YOU wanted it.

  4. QUESTION:
    Gender Selection NO criticism please?
    We have 2 boys and were looking into Gender Selection for our next (2 yrs from now) to have a girl. Does anyone know the cost, procedure, or any other information on it???

    I don't really want to hear "you shouldn't play god" or " why would you want to do that" I am not looking to be criticised I just need some info:)

    • ANSWER:
      Why stop there? Why not pick their eye color? Their hair color? When are people going to quit being so selfish? Yes, that's criticism, but I really could care less that I probably just annoyed you.

    • ANSWER:
      A cheap alternative to the scienctific stuff is to plan intercourse. X sperm live longer than y sperm so you plan to have sex up to 2 days before ovulation. The y sperms die off and you are left with x's. I don't know anything about the sceinetiific methods. But this on seems to work. it may take longer.

  7. QUESTION:
    Laws on IVF/gender selection in Australia?
    Ive never been very good at research, so I figured I would ask you guys =)

    Heres the deal, and please DONT tell me I shouldnt do this. I want twin girls, whenever I decide to have children I really want to have twin girls...

    I know there are some gender selection processes that are 80% effective (..ish) and available to everyone, but what about IVF?

    IVF greatly increases the chances of having twins because they implant more than one fetus, but I have no idea about its availability in Australia.

    Ps yes, I do know how much it costs. =)
    Gender selection is illegal?

    Wait, you said I could ask them to implant only female embryos, how could I ask if it was illegal?

    • ANSWER:
      IVF is available in Australia, but gender selection is illegal. Thailand offers gender selection through IVF (only male or female embryos are selected for implantation) if you're very determined.

      You can ask to have only female embryos implanted, but there's no guarantee that you'll get twins as not all embryos survive. You may just have one girl.

      Edit: It's legal in Thailand. You could ask for female embryos in Thailand. I thought that was quite clear. Gender selection is illegal in Australia, so you would have to travel to Thailand. Most countries have restrictions on gender selection, but Thailand doesn't.

  8. QUESTION:
    Baby gender selection?
    How much will it cost? How long does the procedure take and what is the success rate?

    • ANSWER:
      The cost, the time commitment and the success rate depends upon whether you opt for the sperm separation/insemination or IVF/PGD. For a more detailed explanation please check my web site at www.gender-select.com, and pricing will be discussed as well.

      Sincerely,
      Andrew Y. Silverman, M.D., Ph.D.

  9. QUESTION:
    Sperm Selection(Gender Collection) ?
    I want a girl extremely bad

    So how much does it cost ?
    Your experience with it and feedback ?

    • ANSWER:

  10. QUESTION:
    What are the premises and what is the conclusion of this argument?
    A Virginia fertility clinic called the Genetics & IVF Institute is trying to bring a gender selection technique known as sperm sorting to mainstream America, touting it as a positive advance for families and society. However, if choosing the gender of children becomes widespread, the results could be disastrous in terms of attitudes toward the sexes and a disparate ratio of males to females.
    Do we really want a society in which prospective parents can choose whether to have a boy or a girl? Are we prepared to open the door to technology that allows couples to select not only their child’s sex, but also his or her appearance, height and intelligence?
    To what extent and at what cost are we willing to grant life to those who we perceive to be the most desirable, while denying life to others?
    The desire for ‘designer babies’ brings to mind Hitler’s quest for a ‘master race.’ In both cases, destruction of groups of people is the result.

    • ANSWER:
      This is scarier than it first seems. The tower of Babble turned into a disaster. Hitler's plan turned out disastrous, and now as we begin to try and play G-d we are losing our national mind. In a nation that touts so often and so loudly that we are a Christian nation we seem to have forgotten our values. We have allowed one thing after another to erode our morality. Bit by bit we have slipped into a moral abyss. if there is a time when men greatly outnumber the women, there will be wars. The wealthy will be able to feed and house the women and offer them the world while the poor will have nothing to offer but a days work for a fraction of a days pay.

      if the women come to greatly outnumber the men, perhaps men will have more than one wife as I believe that is more common in history than the other way around.

      With the gay and lesbian community getting larger and larger, this may make the whole future of this program, completely unpredictable.
      None of this matters because it's all for profit and anymore it looks like Christianity is becoming more and more about profit than abouts the prophets.

  11. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in choosing the gender of YOUR choice?
    I do!

    Some people think that its playing God but thats a load of s-h!t people have their own reasons why they would like what gender to have & if you already have a boy & want a girl, i dont think theres nothing wrong with that & thats why me & my boyfriend are going to America soon to do Gender Selection at the fertility clinic, its going to cost ,000.00 we want a girl soo badly :) ))) & for those who dont believe in this.. dont bother to answer!

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the best method to empower women ?
    i am listing various scenarios for your perusal and further study and food for thought on this question:

    1) Throw open all the services of the military to all women who qualify the common standard selection criteria for all military recruits and bring up girl children in a general gender neutral manner
    OR
    reserve vacancies in military for them just to make room for them and implement separate and lower standards of selection for them.While bringing up female children teaching them their rights and forget about their duties or accountibility to which a male is held responsible.

    2) Increase the infrastructure and educational institutions to absorb more and more deserving candidates based purely on merit while at the same time ensuring compulsary high school education for eductaion for all children irrespective of gender or anything else
    OR
    Create special quotas and rights of admissions for females in schools and colleges at the cost of displacing other candidates

    3) Establish social laws like divorce,child support, rape , molestation etc on the basis of human rights and teach each female child the absolute neccessity for personal responsibility as ahuman and a bonafide citizen
    OR
    Make special laws and give powers to women to be used at their discretion and make legal and social insititutions baised towards them at the coast of other sections of society
    Edit: "Most women are caregivers" in todays day and age when femnists balst gender stereotypes this is definitely not heir tune is it?

    If we follow gender steretypes then should men be the dominant section of the society and faimly as most men are stronger than women physically????

    By the same gender stereotype since most women are caregivers therefore they should not be sent to fight wars and spill their guts while men who are stronger physically and inherently violent should be slaughtered in wars RIGHT??? LOL

    • ANSWER:
      Get rid of any Affirmative Action for women. You'll see them empowered by forcing them to see exactly what they are and aren't capable of on their own. Part of empowerment is accepting what your limits are and aren't.

  14. QUESTION:
    need advice on surrogacy-egg donorship, etc?
    I am a single male and would like be a parent and raise a child. I'm considering surrogacy. I found a low cost clinic in another country. This would require me to find an egg donor to make two trips with me to this other country. I've found a local surrogate too but she is not wanting to donate eggs, just carry the child, so even with her an egg donor would be needed. I'm concerned that when I screen an egg donor, what ways do I have to make sure the eggs that are being used are from that precise person? Also, with the overseas surrogacy clinic, how do I guarantee that I get the child that is my biological child and there is not a mixup or a swapping around behind my back. Now to complicate this but I have an adult daughter from an affair years ago. I want to have a son so gender selection would be needed. The overseas clinic says they do not offer that. So, I'd have to stay in this country to do all this or find a doctor willing to make the trip at my expense. I've looked on egg donor websites. Are their eggs just stored in a bank and you just see their photos and profile and never get to meet them? Then how do I know I'm getting HER eggs and not someone elses? This is a big money business and getting the eggs I chose and the child that is mine is critical.
    I heard that sometimes in traditional it is harder for the biological mother to surrender the child, and she can legally challenge it.

    • ANSWER:
      If you are in the US, there are plenty of US based egg donor agencies. I'm currently a gestational carrier (not my eggs) in the US and we used an annon egg donor also from the US.

      She actually traveled to where we are to have her eggs retrieved and the parents never met her (thus, the annon part). The fresh eggs were fertilized from the father right there in the clinic and then grown out to 3 day embryos. At that same clinic, I went in with the parents to have the embryos transferred.

      I guess a swap COULD happen, but the agency would quickly lose all credibility once the babies were born and the genetic testing proved the babies to not be the sum of their parents. Just find a reputable agency and you should be OK.

  15. QUESTION:
    For moms who didn't find out the sex of their baby until birth?
    Since my 31 week ultrasound yesterday, now every time I refer to the baby, I say "he, or he's" lol Before my ultrasound I had no gut feeling, no instinct to what we were having. But for some reason now when ever I talk about baby, it's a he! Did this happen to you if you didn't find out the sex early? Did you have that instinct all along? With my son, I just 'knew' he was a boy. With this baby I have had no ideas or feelings...up until now! Was your instinct right if you had one?

    Too add* I live in a province in Canada that is not allowed to disclose the sex of the baby for gender selection purposes(I think). Google British Columbia's ultrasound laws if you don't believe me :)
    And while I could travel 8 hours by car to find out, the trip itself would cost too much, and I'm not prepared to pay to find out something that is coming in 2 months anyway.

    • ANSWER:
      I strongly suspected I was having a girl because the only time my husband and I had sex during that cycle's fertile period was 3 days before I ovulated. Female sperm are slower but live longer, so if you have sex a few days before you ovulate, you have a higher chance of having a girl. I knew that in advance and couldn't get it out of my head. Sure enough, I was correct.

      I also correctly guessed my niece's gender for the same reason (my sister couldn't read her charts so she e-mailed them to me).

      It's not fool proof, but it makes the guessing odds a little better than 50/50.

  16. QUESTION:
    Would you choose the gender of your baby? (through ivf)?
    I just read this article what are your thoughts.
    -Should we be allowed to choose the sex of our baby? Why or why not?

    - Personally I dont understand why you need to choose? Is there a medical reason or just preference? I wanted a boy as my first born but would have been equally as happy with a girl. When i get pregnant again im happy with either (a little girl would be wonderful though as i would love a daughter). I wouldnt use ivf to get this though.

    Victorian women are travelling to Thailand to circumvent IVF sex-choice laws and pick the sex of their babies.

    Trips costing up to ,000 are being undertaken by mothers desperate to choose the gender of their babies after the practice was overruled by the Australian Health Ethics Committee in 2004.

    Doctors face jail in Victoria for assisting with sex selections, despite women attending clinics and asking for assistance.

    Thailand's medical council does not condone sex selection but several Thai clinics offer the service as a cheaper alternative to the US, where the practice is allowed, the Herald Sun newspaper reported.

    Melbourne IVF chief executive Dr Lyndon Hale says he refused a number of women seeking assistance in the last year and only directed them to look on the internet for information.

    "We would tell them (about Thailand)," Dr Hale said. "We would suggest you get on the web and make your own arrangements."

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah, umm, I'm one of those "you get what God gives you, and be happy with it!" type of people. Although I really wanted a little boy... I asked for a boy...and I got a boy...Might just be coincidence though. =P

    Information on In Vitro?
    my friend is looking into using in vitro to get pregnant. she and her husband are capable of having kids, but they want one soon, and would like twins, although neither of them have twins in their family.

    if you're going to respond with something like this is selfish and this service should only be used for people who can't conceive, save it and don't bother answering. she's willing to pay the same money others pay, so what's the difference?

    she wants to know average costs, likelihood of multiple births, risks and other peoples experiences. she's also interested in gender selection but doesn't know much about it, so if you have any info on that it would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance for the help! and remember positive and helpful answeres only!

    • ANSWER:
      We did IVF several times and the cost was about K per cycle, it depends upon the clinic and Dr.

      The risk of having multiples depends upon how many embrios are transferred and the quality of the embrios...normally the Drs want to put 2 embrios in to ensure success and they give you a 50/50 of having mutiples if you have good embrio quality.

      We did IVF several times and on our 3rd try got twins....2 years later as a supprise we got twins...no IVF

      I will tell you a multiples birth with IVF is considered high risk. Many end in pre term deliveries...this is for a combo of reasons....multiples are high risk for pre term delivery, plus most of the women that opt for IVF have a reason that they could not conceive any other way and that contributes to the risk.

      I had 2 set of preemie twins and each pregnancy was difficult to carry as long as I did (28 wks for the 1st and 32 wks the 2nd), so the risks are high......I LOVE my twins and all 4 are healthy now....I would not trade them for the world, but I am sure that it would have been an easier pregnancy if I had been carrying just 1.

      There are not many clinics or Drs that do gender selection, it really negatively affects their success statistics because they have less embryios or sperm to work with. It the 2 main options for gender selection are to perform a "sort" of the sperm and then do a proceedure called ICSI, where they manually capture sperm, cut its tail off and insert it into the ovum to assure fertilization. Supposedly the faster sperm are male and the slower are female.....I'll tell you that we did ICSI because my husband had "slow swimmers" but we got 2 girls...we weren't trying for a specific sex though so they did not do a "sort" on my husband's sperm. The other option is to fertilize the embryos, then after they have grown awhile, do a genetic test to see if the embryo is male or female.

      Gender selection is still being researched...I think that in reality the jury is still out.

  21. QUESTION:
    West Midlands Police Force racism ?
    Britain's second largest police force has been accused of discriminating against white men by setting itself targets to recruit and promote more black and female officers. The force has been warned it is walking into a potentially illegal minefield of political correctness. Shouldn't the selection be based on the calibre of the interviewee and not the gender or colour of their skin? How much will this cost the rest of us when eventually someone brings a racial discrimination case against the force?
    lBJ my question is not racist it is about racism and i am not and have never been racist, that's dreadful accusation and also an incorrect one. The article is in today's Daily Express and is written by Anil Dawar In 2006 Gloucestershire police were ordered to compensate white victims of it's recruitment strategy and Avon and Somerset's chief constable Colin Port had to offer all excluded applicants the chance to reapply. There is a legal prescedent set here, why don't they look at the legal issues before putting pen to paper or foot into mouth?
    Theth - no i don't live there. That's an excellent reply and yes i do see the need for some sympathetic policing but the law is the law and isn't any different for any of us, creed, colour, race so why should they be allowed to carry on like this?

    • ANSWER:
      No police force has selected recruits just on the calibre of the interviewee for years. Government guide lines have insisted on them filling vacancies with so called unrepresented minorities whether or not they are the best candidate for the job.
      Realistically this means that white heterosexual males stand little chance of selection no matter how suitable they are.

  22. QUESTION:
    Is this pro choice? Is this natural?
    Parental preference for producing sons rather than daughters in a number of societies has led to the aborting of more than 160 million female babies since the late 1970s, an author contends.
    Writing about the book “Unnatural Selection” by Mara Hvistendahl, Jonathan V. Last, a senior editor at the Weekly Standard, notes that the natural ratio of 105 boys for every 100 girls is “biologically ironclad.”
    But in India today there are 112 boys born for every girl. In China, there are 121 boys for every girl, and in many towns the male figure is over 150. In Armenia, the figure is 120.
    What is causing the skewed ratio is abortion.
    “If the male number in the sex ratio is above 106, it means that couples are having abortions when they find out the mother is carrying a girl,” Last writes in an article that appeared in The Wall Street Journal.
    "By Ms. Hvistendahl’s counting, there have been so many sex-selective abortions in the past three decades that 163 million girls, who by biological averages should have been born, are missing from the world.”
    What made the skewed ratio possible is the availability of amniocentesis in the mid-1970s, and later ultrasound, to determine the gender of a child before birth.
    Last cites an ad put out by an Indian clinic that states, “Better 500 rupees now than 5,000 later,” referring to the price of a sex-determination test versus the cost of a dowry for a daughter.
    Skewed sex ratios have had some unpleasant and often violent repercussions through history, Hvistendahl points out, citing the dearth of women along the frontier in the “wild” American West. In 1870, the sex ratio west of the Mississippi was 120 to 100, and in California it was 166 to 100.
    “Today in India,” Last observes, “the best predictor of violence and crime for any given area is not income but sex ratio.”
    Last also cites the danger that with prenatal sex determination reducing the number of females, “a small but still significant group of the world’s women will end up being stolen or sold from their homes and forced into prostitution or marriage.”
    And he goes on to say that “if ‘choice’ is the moral imperative guiding abortion, then there is no way to take a stand against ‘gendercide.’ Choice is choice.”
    John your answer was quixotic. I was to prove abortions are a selfish endeavor. My point being to end the life of an unborn child is an act of selfish malice.

    So who might be pizazz choices for this year's contenders? McCain might turn to his longtime hero Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
    ===========================================

    One of the stranger ironies the Constitution has bestowed on American politics is this: some 50 million people just finished choosing the parties' two nominees in a grueling, yearlong primary campaign that cost millions of dollars and captivated the world. But when it comes to picking vice-presidential nominees, only two people on the planet get a vote: John McCain and Barack Obama. Between an explosion of democracy in the spring and an even bigger explosion of self-determination in the fall is a brief interlude of, well, something that Vladimir Putin could probably live with.

    Everyone knows that the main qualification for the vice presidency is being ready, at a moment's notice, to step into the most powerful job in the world. But what qualifies you to do the job and what qualifies you to get the job may involve two completely different calculations.

    Both McCain and Obama have their selection committees already at work scouring candidates' financial and personal backgrounds, voting records and public statements. In a sudden setback that could slow the Democratic nominee's search, Obama lost his top Veep hunter, Jim Johnson, after the former Fannie Mae executive came under scrutiny for accepting preferential mortgages from a lender linked to the foreclosure crisis. Both camps will finish their work by early August, if not sooner. When they do, the choice of Vice President should tell us something — maybe a lot — about how McCain and Obama think and how they could run the government. There are a lot of ways to choose a Vice President, and each comes with risks. Here are five of the most reliable:

    1. Play to Your Strength
    Perhaps the fastest way to send a message about who you are is to pick someone who appears to be ... just like you. In 1992, Bill Clinton picked another Southern baby boomer with a moderate record and a full head of hair. Then Clinton, Al Gore and their wives took a bus trip that looked like a rolling scene from The Big Chill. Picking Gore reinforced Clinton's claim to be part of a new generation of Democratic pols, liberated from the tired (and losing) politics of the past.

    If McCain were to take a similar approach, he might pick a No. 2 who has strong national-security credentials or another maverick who defies party labels — perhaps someone like independent Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman. By this standard, Obama might opt for a partner who is young and charismatic and also breaks a historic barrier of race or gender — perhaps Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius — or one who transcends partisan politics, like Republican Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

    2. Look at the Map
    An old-fashioned road atlas is a good Michelin guide for three-star running mates. The right choice can add balance to a nominee whose roots may seem a tad too effete to go over well in the heartland — or add some coastal glitz to a rural candidate's prairie-flat steadiness. As it happens, the last two candidates to make their picks with geography clearly in mind — John Kennedy in 1960 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 — were both from Massachusetts. And they both picked Texas Senators — Lyndon Johnson and Lloyd Bentsen — for the second spot on their ticket.

    More narrowly, the map can help a nominee make a play for a state that is crucial in November, though that is never a sure bet. Kennedy, with Johnson as his running mate, squeezed by Nixon to win Texas with a margin of merely 46,000 votes, in what turned out to be one of the closest elections in American history. But Dukakis got swamped in the Lone Star State, where Bentsen's considerable popularity was no match for the thrill of having another Texan, George H.W. Bush, in the Oval Office.

    This year, given the closeness of the race and the importance of winning a few battleground states, McCain and Obama will keep at least one eye on the Electoral College map right through November. That means Obama will be considering choices like Ohio governor Ted Strickland (though Strickland says he would turn down the offer) or one of three possibilities from Virginia — Governor Tim Kaine, former governor Mark Warner or Senator Jim Webb. Or perhaps a Westerner like Montana governor Brian Schweitzer. McCain might get an Electoral College boost by picking Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, Pennsylvania's ex-governor Tom Ridge or former rival Mitt Romney, who has family roots in pivotal Michigan.

    3. Shore Up Your Weak Side
    On the other hand, the nominee might need a partner who compensates for his vulnerabilities or perceived weaknesses. That was plainly what George W. Bush had in mind in 2000 when he picked Dick Cheney, a seasoned Washington insider with a long foreign policy résumé (who also happened to be heading up Bush's vice-presidential-selection process). And Gore knew that in picking Lieberman, who had been one of Bill Clinton's harshest Democratic critics during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, he was buying some distance from the incumbent Commander in Chief.

    In McCain's case, any doubts that voters have about electing a 72-year-old President might be allayed if he tapped someone far younger. And it wouldn't hurt, in a year when gasoline prices and financial jitters have moved past the Iraq war to the top of voter concerns, to look for a sidekick who is more comfortable than McCain is with economic policy. It may well turn out to be someone about whom the conservative base, which is a little leery of McCain, is more enthusiastic. Some possibilities the two might want to consider as hedges against their shortcomings: McCain could pick Romney or Pawlenty, both of whom have executive experience and relative youth, or perhaps an economic-policy expert like former Ohio Congressman Rob Portman, who served as both budget chief and trade representative for Bush.

    Obama, however, might want to address concerns about his youth and inexperience by picking a running mate who is older and has strong national-security credentials. He could turn to seasoned, silver-haired foreign policy experts like Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Joe Biden or former Senate Armed Services chairman Sam Nunn. Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell or former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle would add some experience as well.

    4. Hug Your Rival
    Even after a long, hard primary fight (and sometimes because of it), the ultimate winner almost always has to consider bringing the loser aboard the ticket. That's what Ronald Reagan did when he picked George H.W. Bush in 1980 and how John Kerry came to choose John Edwards in 2004. Sometimes party unity simply demands it. "We ended up with the obvious choice," says adviser Bob Shrum of Kerry's decision to tap Edwards. "People in the party overwhelmingly wanted him."

    Then again, a former adversary can have extra baggage. For one thing, there will be lingering tensions and suspicions that former rivals still harbor ambitions of their own. The other party is certain to dredge up every damaging sound bite — "Voodoo economics!" — that your former rival hurled in your direction back in February. These worries are usually overcome. Already it's hard to miss the steady thaw in McCain's once frosty relationship with Romney as the former Massachusetts governor throws himself — and his formidable fund-raising operation — into campaigning for the man who beat him. And Hillary Clinton's supporters — starting with her husband — are letting it be known that they expect Obama to give her serious consideration.

    5. Hire Some Pizazz
    Some nominees find themselves in need of excitement. That explains why Walter Mondale tapped Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman on a national ticket, in 1984. "This is an exciting choice," he said at the time. Within weeks, Mondale did not see it that way.

    Given their difficult history of tangling over just about everything, hardly anyone would have expected Bob Dole to pick Jack Kemp as his running mate in 1996 — least of all Kemp. As little as three weeks before he was selected, recalls Dole's campaign manager, Scott Reed, Kemp was grumbling in GOP circles that he hadn't been given a speaking spot at the party's convention. So why did Dole pick him? "We were going for oxygen, heat and energy," Reed says. "We went through the traditional list, and we just weren't happy with what we were coming up with." Kemp later turned out to be far more complicated a partner than Dole or Reed had imagined.

    So who might be pizazz choices for this year's contenders? McCain might turn to his longtime hero Colin Powell, the former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Excitement is hardly what Obama needs, but he could pick a woman, such as Sebelius or Arizona governor Janet Napolitano, who might force McCain to spend more time in his otherwise safe home state.

    But if you venture too far out of the box, voters will scratch their heads sooner or later — and eventually you might too. George H.W. Bush seems to have entered his Veep wish list into one of those dating computers back in 1988. That year he stunned nearly all his advisers when he tapped someone whose Midwestern roots were an antidote to his privileged Kennebunkport background, who was young to his old, who could balance his moderation with a dose of conservatism, and came up with Dan Quayle. The ticket beat the Democrats that fall, but by 1992 even Bush was trying to nudge him off the ticket. The ploy failed. Which is a reminder that however you choose a running mate, another rule will always apply: hard as it is to find a good one, it is sometimes harder to get rid of a bad one.

      I have watched her on some of the political talk shows like CNN.

      She is, as you would expect, intelligent and bright, but I didn't find her particularly illuminating. Her topic on the selection of a vice presidential nominee does not reflect anything new.

Gender Selection Conception

Gender (Sex) Selection Information
of a child before conception. Gender selection may be appropriate for couples who wish to avoid passing on genetic disorders that are linked to a particular sex (medical gender selection), as well as those who want to have a child of the gender opposite that of an existing child (elective gender selection). Below you will find information about prenatal gender selection, including an explanation of the primary gender selection methods available at this time.
Elective vs. Medical Gender Selection

When it comes to gender selection, there are two basic reasons behind the decision to choose a child of a particular sex. When a couple is trying to conceive and wishes to use sex selection to avoid certain genetic or chromosomal disorders in their baby, the process is called medical gender selection. Infantile Tay-Sachs disease is one example of a fatal genetic disorder which can be unknowingly passed on through both parents, but can possibly be prevented by prenatal gender selection.

Elective gender selection means that the couple is not choosing the sex of their baby based upon any medical concerns, but simply the desire to have a child of a specific gender. Elective sex selection is pursued for many reasons, including what is referred to as "family balancing"when a couple has several children of one gender, they may desire to have at least one child of the opposite sex.

Regardless of whether a couple is seeking elective or medical gender selection, the methods of sex selection are essentially the same. Learn more about gender selection methods below.
Gender Selection Methods

There are two primary gender selection methods available to couples seeking to choose the sex of their child. The first method is sperm gender selection, often referred to as MicroSort gender selection. The second popular method is embryonic gender selection, which is commonly known as pre-conception gender selection, or PGD gender selection of embryos. Sperm Gender Selection

Sperm gender selection refers to the process of sorting through the seminal fluid and separating the X-chromosome-carrying sperm from the Y-chromosome-carrying sperm. This procedure is applicable for elective and medical gender selection.

MicroSort gender selection uses a specialized laser to emit a DNA-specific probe that helps identify the X and Y cells in the seminal fluid. Once the sex is chosen by the parents, the sperm sample is "enriched." This means that if the couple wants a female baby, the Y-carrying sperm cells are removed; if the couple wants a male baby, then the X-carrying sperm are removed. In this way, the percentage of desired gender-determining genetic material is increased in the seminal fluid.

To complete the MicroSort gender selection process, the enriched seminal fluid is then used in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
Embryonic Gender Selection

Besides MicroSort gender selection, there is one other primary form of sex selection available: embryonic gender selection. Gender selection of embryos is a controversial new form of pre-conception gender selection that can be used for both family balancing and medical gender selection purposes.

The pre-conception gender selection process involves in vitro fertilization of several eggs. Once the eggs are fertilized and form embryos, a single cell is removed from each for PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) genetic testing. After the gender of each embryo is determined, and unhealthy embryos are identified, the embryo of the chosen sex are then transferred and implanted in the mother.

The success rate for gender selection of embryos is extremely highnearly 100 percent. There are many gender selection specialists who refuse to perform pre-conception gender selection for couples seeking elective sex selection. However, there are a handful of fertility centers that will treat couples seeking both elective and medical gender selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Any advice, on pre-conception, gender selection?
    I have done lots of searching for tips, ovulation calculation, and aside from medical gender selection, we are trying for #3 particularly a boy, I love my girls to death, however they fight constantly and another girl, would send me to the straight jacket (just kidding) my husband would love a son, and I would love to give him one. I want to know, have any of you done tricks, calculations, or anything to get the gender child you wanted? I have read about diet being a factor, of course timing your ovulation and the basal temperature, and i am just starting out, so maybe if I do all those for a boy we could get lucky? Just checking, any tips and advise is GREATLY appreciated.

  5. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender Prediction - A Current, Focused Site On Natural Gender Selection?
    I'm looking for scientific views on gender selection (pros, cons, diet & conception) and ideas to make an informed decision about baby gender prediction. I'm open to all relevant ideas - specifically links to sites and guides that cover the natural methods in more detail.

    • ANSWER:
      The Center For Natural Gender Planning is the site I recommend -- because I've used it myself and can vouch for the advice I got from it. Run by Rebecca Washburn, it's one of the most qualified sites on baby gender prediction, with a specific focus on natural gender selection.

      What I liked most was the way Rebecca simplifies one of the most complex, stressful parts of a pregnancy 'decision' into an ethical choice that's very much yours. To quote what she says: Preparation + Correct Method + Correct Time = Baby Gender Of Your Choice

      The way is in the approach and the simplicity of it. All the best!

  6. QUESTION:
    Does the timing of sex decide the gender?
    I've heard that if ovulation/conception occurs more than a day or two after intercourse then there is a good chance that all the boy sperm died before it could reachthe egg and a girl was probably conceived. I read this in a book on gender selection and my midwife made a comment today that since I conceived 5-6 days after sex I am probably having a girl. Does anyone know much about this? Any personal experiences where it was true?

    • ANSWER:
      When I was planning my second baby, I used Fortunebaby.com gender selection method, and it was right for me. They tell you when you need to conceive to have a boy or a girl.

  7. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, it was correct. :)

  8. QUESTION:
    Why do people use "gender selection" when trying to conceive?
    Whatever happend to people being thankful for the children they are blessed with?

    I am personally opposed to this method of conception.

    What are your feelings?
    I saw someone post earlier that she was using some method/test/product which would help pinpoint gender so she could choose (I can't remember if she said boy or girl). My heart broke.

    I am so glad that I am not alone in that it is wrong. I agree with you all that it's better to be thankful for the children we are blessed with. We are not to pick and choose them!

    Thanks to you all for your answers. :)

    • ANSWER:
      I agree. To be able to conceive a child is a blessing and a privilege. There are so many people out there that are not capable of having a child and they would kill to have a boy or a girl. I am pregnant with my first child and I am so blessed. My boyfriend and I are so excited. The number one question that I tend to get a lot is "What do you want?" My number one answer is always "I don't care as long as he or she is healthy!" I just found out last week that I'm having a girl and that is the best news I have ever received. (Besides you're pregnant) Congratulations to all the mothers!

  9. QUESTION:
    I am hoping that someone can help me plz, I have read that you can buy lotions to help with gender selection!?
    I have seen this article on a web site

    Sperm carrying the female chromosome are also more acidic than sperm carrying the male chromosome. A number of products have been developed for application during intercourse in order to deactivate unwanted sperm. For example, if a couple would like to conceive a male child the lotion would be more alkaline in order to neutralise the sperm carrying the female chromosome,

    The site seems genuine and I am really interested if anyone knows any information regarding the above. I would be really interested if there are any such lotions.

    X Chromosomes stronger?
    I though this was interesting and thought I would share.

    though=thought
    P.S. Women aren't the only ones with X chromosomes...for those who failed basic biology.

    • ANSWER:
      thats not really what it means, male sperm is more likely to die, but faster. i think the genes develop the sprem to be that way, rather than the x just being stronger, other wise it would be faster too.

  11. QUESTION:
    The full moon favors baby boy conception, I want to know if the 20th of dec 2011 is still on full moon .?
    This is for gender selection

    • ANSWER:
      Sadly, the full moon has nothing to do with conception, but I have heard that when a woman is close to delivery a full moon can cause her to go into labor though. And it's been proven in the OB ward that more pregnant women go into labor around a full moon, but if you have sex a few days before ovulation you will be more likely to have a girl as the xx sperm chromo swims slower, but lives longer and the xy sperm swims faster, but dies quicker. So, if you want a boy have sex VERY close to when you'd be Ovulating. Best of luck to you!

  12. QUESTION:
    Sex gender chart correct?
    I am pregnant, and wondering what I am having. I have not yet found out from the doctor yet. I ran across this Chinese Gender Chart, however, there are two versions of it. Please tell me if either is accurate for your pregnancies
    Note: YOU MUST GO ACCORDING TO THE AGE AT CONCEPTION.

    1st SITE: http://www.chinesegenderchart.info/pregnancy-chart-gender-selection/howitwork.html

    2nd: http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcsigns/0,,j736,00.html

    • ANSWER:
      The only sure way to find out what you are having is to wait and see what they tell you after you have your ultrasound at 18 or so weeks. That is how I found out and if they say they dont want to tell you then tell them you want to see your babies genital area...

      Just look for these things... A penis and two balls... They will look llike two white spots underneath and slightly between his legs..If you dont see that you are having a girl.. I saw my sons fly up... after they told me I was having another boy...LOL

      I also saw a chinese chart and it predicted it pretty well...

      Kind of weird but I just checked - I was 23 at time of conception and I had my last period in Feb...Which would have been the second month and that is the month I would have conceived... So it tells me I am having a boy...which I am...

      The second one...Was right too but I looked at the next gender in line and in one its a boy and the other it says girl

      See if the two of yours match on both charts and then confirm with pregnancy and then base your decision whether you believe what it said or not..LOL

  15. QUESTION:
    Democrats, republicans, etc: Do you have a problem with gender testing?
    Why or why not..

    A new test to reveal the gender of a fetus in early pregnancy has sparked a row over whether it will lead to sex-selection abortions.

    The American-designed IntelliGender test kit, which can be used from eight weeks after conception, went on sale in Australia last month. Its Australian distributor hopes to launch it in New Zealand within a fortnight.

    David Portnoy, managing director of Melbourne-based Early Image, said yesterday that he was negotiating with health products companies Douglas Pharmaceuticals and API to supply the kits to New Zealand pharmacies.

    He expected they would sell for about 5.

    They do not test pregnancy, so do not require state approval under the Medicines Act, unlike pregnancy tests. To use the new test, a pregnant woman mixes her urine with the kit's chemicals in the supplied container. If it turns green or black, the fetus is a boy; orange or yellow indicate a girl.

    The kits are claimed to be 90 per cent accurate, but because patents have not yet been issued, the maker will not reveal the supporting data or the science of how they work.
    FYI: The American-designed IntelliGender test kit, can determine the gender at eight weeks.

    Normally, at 138 days, you're approximately 19 to 20 weeks the gender can usually be determined through "normal" methods.

  16. QUESTION:
    answer me please! girl or boy?
    my husband and i are ttc. we'd like to have a baby girl now, and so we had sex before ovulation. now BD on Tuesday, and on Thursday i had Lots of EWCM on the toilet paper, it even had some blood in it. so i though that ovulation had occured, because i always have it this way. then we waited 2 days, and i was dry again, and had sex again yesterday night (not for baby-making reasons!). only this morning i had this lots and lots of EWCM on my tissue again. does that mean that i ovulated on Thursday and then again on Saturday?
    here is how it happened:
    Tuesday no discharge, or very very little. Baby Dancing.
    Wednesday just a little ovulation discharge. no sex
    Thursday lots of ewcm.no sex
    Friday. just a little, very little ovulation discharge, dry by the end of the day. sex
    Saturday morning: again lots of ewcm
    Now: so confused???

    When did i ovulate? if i do get pregnant, when do you think that conception occured? and those who know something about this gender-selection method, where did i go wrong?

    i'd be happy with a boy too, and i know that most doctors say that it's a 50/50 chance, and all this timing and sexual position is stupid. what do you think? i'd like real answers from people who have experienced this.

    thanksXXX

    i'm still happy as long as i am pregnant...but all my family is wishing for a girl at this point.

    • ANSWER:

  17. QUESTION:
    HOW could BREAKFAST impact the DNA on sperm?
    Read this and tell me what you think, I think its purely coincidence! IF sperm has its copy of XX or XY how would this be relevant?
    Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter in Britain and colleagues wanted to find out if a woman's diet has an impact on the sex of her offspring.

    So they asked 740 first-time mothers who did not know if their unborn foetuses were male or female to provide detailed records of eating habits before and after they became pregnant. The women were split into three groups according to the number calories they consumed per day around the time of conception.

    Fifty-six percent of the women in the group with the highest energy intake had sons, compared to 45 percent in the least-well fed cohort.

    Beside racking up a higher calorie count, the group who produced more males were also more likely to have eaten a wider range of nutrients, including potassium, calcium and vitamins C, E and B12.

    The odds of an XY, or male outcome to a pregnancy also went up sharply "for women who consumed at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily compared with those who ate less than or equal to one bowl of week," the study reported.

    These surprising findings are consistent with a very gradual shift in favor of girls over the last four decades in the sex ratio of newborns, according to the researchers.

    Previous research has shown -- despite the rising epidemic in obesity -- a reduction in the average energy uptake in advanced economies. The number of adults who skip breakfast has also increased substantially.

    "This research may help to explain why in developed countries, where many young women choose low calorie diets, the proportion of boys is falling," Mathews said.

    The study's findings, she added, could point to a "natural mechanism" for gender selection.

    The link between a rich diet and male children may have an evolutionary explanation.

    For most species, the number of offspring a male can father exceeds the number a female can give birth to. But only if conditions are favorable -- poor quality male specimens may fail to breed at all, whereas females reproduce more consistently.

    "If a mother has plentiful resources, then it can make sense to invest in producing a son because he is likely to produce more grandchildren than would a daughter," thus contributing to the survival of the species, explains Mathews.

    "However, in leaner times having a daughter is a safer bet."

    While the mechanism is not yet understood, it is known from in vitro fertilisation research that higher levels of glucose, or sugar, encourage the growth and development of male embryos while inhibiting female embryos.

    • ANSWER:
      Sheer coincidence. With both of my pregnancies I ate a bowl of cereal every day of the week and had a diverse diet consisting of multiple nutrients and I had a girl each time. I don't know one person whose diet determined the gender of their babies.

  18. QUESTION:
    Did any of the old wives tales work for you if you tried for a boy?
    We really want another boy. Not that we wouldn't be thrilled with a daughter, but it would just be easier considering that we have a boys name in mind, and can obtain some boys gear from my brother who has a 2 month old son.

    My question is do you know of any techniques (anything from date of conception to how you conceived..) were successful in conceiving a boy.

    I know that it won't be 100% and there is a gender selection process, but I really want things to happen as naturally as possible, and again it wouldn't crush us at all if we found out that we were having a boy. We just want to shift the odds a little bit.

    • ANSWER:
      My husband and I have two girls together and I also have a stepson that lives with us. We really want to give dss a little brother. I have heard that the closer you TTC before you ovulate the better, because of how the boy sperm are faster. Or you can use the Chinese Gender Predictor. Good luck!

  19. QUESTION:
    Can worldwide unity exist in a world of racial and religious divide?
    One People World Wide (OPWW) Organization
    One People, One Goal!

    Official Mission Statement:

    True advancement may only be achieved through the combined effort and collaboration of all the world’s people – free from all formerly drawn racial boundaries and without the constraints of religion or superstition.

    OPWW Belief System

    The Human Race

    There is only one race – the human race – which consists of all the people in all the world. Ignorance and religion have long kept the worlds people behind the walls of racial divide. We are all part of the same massive gene pool that spawned the first intelligent life on this planet. Even in our own unique individuality, we all share some of the same thoughts and desires as well as hopes and dreams. The DNA of every human being on the planet is compatible with every other human being as told by so called “intermixing.” So why is it that in this day and age of science and technology we still find the necessity to sort one another into separate groups and ethnicities? It is time to open our eyes and see beyond the color of one’s skin.

    Unfathomable Advancement

    Can you imagine a world free of disease or hunger? How about flying cars and space ships? These are just fantasies, right? They are only dreams now, but what if all the worlds people came together and shared all their vast knowledge with one another? How long then would it be before major advancements are made in all fields of technology? Our governments are always trying to “up” each other and in doing so they are failing to see that shared knowledge compliments itself. It is time to join hands and work together towards a brighter future.

    The Barrier of Religion

    One principal and unique quality of human beings is that of the necessity to understand the nature of all things. In ancient times, long before modern science and technology, this was prevalent. However, they lacked the ability to thoroughly examine a situation scientifically. Therefore, often times, the unexplainable became “the divine.” Religion was developed to create a more civilized world with rules in which to live by and the fear of an all-knowing god to ensure that they were adhered to. Over time populations grew and the people became less frightened which gave way for the formation of government and politics. Religion, however, was not discarded, but instead held firm as a basis for modern laws and regulations. Even today religion still has a grip on many of the world’s people. Religion is outdated. The answers we need can all be found through the application of modern science and the use of technology. Evolution and natural selection has driven us to the brink of major human and technological development. We must let go of the superstitious past, and learn to rely on human ingenuity and modern science to find the answers we seek.

    Gender Ability vs. Equality

    With all the differences between the two sexes, it is sometimes very easy to overlook one very important similarity; the human brain. For the most part, we have always shared the same thought potential and mental abilities. Now, with ever advancing computer and machine technology, we are finding that physical ability is playing less of a roll in modern society. Even as women are finally gaining mainstream acceptance in today’s society, there still remains prejudice towards same-sex oriented individuals. Through the process of evolution, our species has evolved to reproduce sexually, requiring both female and male genetic information in order to achieve conception. This fact alone causes many people to frown upon the idea of homosexuality. The truth is that one’s gender or gender preference has nothing to do with that person’s abilities or potential. So why then, in this age of enlightenment, do we continue to persecute individuals with different sexual preferences? It is time to embrace the contributions of all people and give credit based upon merit rather than our own versions of normalcy.

    The Veil of Secrecy

    Of all the obstacles we must overcome to achieve our goal, secrecy is the first and foremost barrier in our path. Throughout history truth and knowledge have been hidden from us from the very people we trust to keep us informed. How can we ever hope to advance when valuable information is kept under lock and key by select individuals who wish to maintain the ignorance of the population? We can no longer afford to remain in the darkness of naivety. It is time to demand from our leaders all that of which they so desperately hope to keep out of our reach. When the last lock is broken we can finally start on the path to true enlightenment.

Gender Pregnancy Predictor

Predicting Baby Gender Selection Tactics
In order to apply the sex selection techniques for guessing newborn sex, the following concepts need to be fully understood to affect gender of infant in pregnancy:

Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes
Intercourse and Ovulation Timing
Ovulation Predictor Kits
Female Acidity and Diet
Female Orgasms
Sexual intercourse Positions

Forecasting Infant Sex - Male Semen: X and Y Chromosomes

Between the male and female, it really is the male who establishes the gender of newborn in pregnancy. The male sperm is created from two chromosomes: X and Y. The X chromosomes produce girls and the Y chromosomes create boys. The X chromosomes are bigger, slower and live longer. The Y chromosomes are smaller, faster and die quicker.

Predicting Baby Gender - Sexual intercourse and Ovulation Timing

Contemplating the information in regards to the two chromosomes in male sperm, the timing of intercourse and ovulation turn out to be vital in forecasting baby gender.

If you want a girlengage in sexual intercourse two to three days before ovulation starts. Sperm lives as long as five days in the female body. The additional days will offer time for the female semen to beat the male sperm and wait for the arrival of the ovum.

If you would like a boyparticipate in sex one day before or the day of ovulation. As a result, the male semen will reach the ovum prior to the female sperm.
Predicting Baby Sex - Ovulation Predictor Kits

To ensure that guessing baby gender is even probable, a female should be ovulating to have a probability of expecting a baby. Purchasing an ovulation predictor kit is a great way to know whether you are ovulating or not.

Predicting Infant Sex - Female Acidity and Diet

The PH balance within females can dictate sex of infant in pregnancy. The more acidic the environment is, the more likely to conceive a girl. More over, the more alkaline the environment is, the more prone to conceive a boy. Therefore, the female diet can influence the PH balance and impact forecasting baby gender. If a girl is preferred, the female really should decide on foods like apples, broccoli and fish.

Predicting Newborn Gender - Female Orgasms

In conjunction with the PH balance will be the opportunity for a woman to orgasm. Amazingly, regardless of whether or not a woman has an orgasm during sexual intercourse can affect predicting baby gender. When a woman orgasms, the PH balance becomes a lot more alkaline, which is conducive to a boy. For that reason, the female needs to steer clear of having an orgasm altogether if a girl is desired. In contrast, if a boy is preferred, the woman needs to have an orgasm just prior to or at the same time as her male partner.

Forecasting Newborn Gender - Sexual intercourse Positions

Believe it or not, the sexual position utilized throughout sexual intercourse can impact gender of newborn in pregnancy. If expectations are for a girl, focus on shallow penetration positions just like the "missionary position". This position will deposit the semen away from the cervix, for that reason giving a benefit to the slower, longer living female semen. Deep penetration positions, for example, rear entry or "doggy-style", can result in a boy. Basically, the semen is delivered to the doorstep of the cervix so the male semen has less of a distance to travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Gender Predictor- Did it work for you?
    The one I am talking about obviously doesn't predict what your having its just for fun. With almost everyone I have asked were rite I think only one person was wrong but they were born in the very end of a month so it could have be correct although some of the people i asked could have been wrong if they had there baby's before there due date.

    So its the one where you add the mothers age AT conception and the number of the month the baby was conceived. If it is odd= GIRL
    even= BOY if you aren't sure the month you conceived usually you would add 3 months to the due date to get it. For mine I was 19 at conception and the baby was conceived in February so month # 2 19+2=21 which predicts I am having a girl but I wont find out the truth until delivery because I don't know what i am going to have.

    • ANSWER:

  4. QUESTION:
    pregnancy gender predictors?
    do the online gender predictors work? or is all of it a hoax, im hopping for a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      well theyre honestly only 50/50 chance of being right, i think your instinct is the best judgement short of having a sexing scan, i just had this really strong feeling i was having a girl, and had 2 sexing scans and it is a girl, if you really want to know they are really worth having, plus you get even more pics if your lil angel and its only about £50 you can get one after 16 weeks xx

  5. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Gender Survey ? Are you Pregnant ? What is/was it?
    Im trying to do a project and see how accurate the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart is...
    What was the EXACT Date or month your child was Concieved ? (years not important)
    What age were you at the date of your conception ?
    Did you have or are you having a boy or girl !?

    Thanks so much !! More Answers the better, Ill post my results when done !

    • ANSWER:
      My first I was 22 years old when I conceived and conceived in July I had a Girl
      My second I was 24 years old when I conceived and conceived in March I had a Girl
      this pregnancy I was 25 years old when I conceived and conceived in November but was unable to find out at the scan the sex of the baby. The chinese gender chart has been right for me with my first two pregnancys but not sure about this one.

  6. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor. Was it right for you? (Just for fun) =]?
    http://www.justparents.co.uk/pregnancy/tools/gender-predictor.html

    It goes by your age at conception and the month you conceived. I'm just curious to see how well this works. I tried it for all of my siblings and it was right.

  7. QUESTION:
    does anyone know anything about the home gender predictor kits?
    I think it's a fairly new thing. Its a pee test just like a home pregnancy test, except the colors are supposed to indicate the gender of your baby. I was just wondering if anyone knows the percentage of chances of the test being right or if anyone has used one?
    Thanks krude kitty, I figured as much.

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.intelligender.com/

      I think this is what your talking about? It apparently changes orange or green I think to indicate gender, you can use it from 10 weeks pregnant, it has a higher percentage than 50% but they do say it is just for fun, so don't go buying pink or blue!
      I wouldn't bother unless you are well off (money wise) it could be just a waste of money, good luck, congratulations & I hope you have a happy and very healthy 9 months ahead of you.

  12. QUESTION:
    I'm confused about the chinese gender predictor?
    I did this little gender predictor here: http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/genderpredictor/ and according to that I'm having a boy. But I'm confused. The gender of the baby comes from the dad (if he gives you an X or Y chromosome), right? So how is the mother's age and month of conception supposed to tell you what the baby is when it has nothing to do with it?? Yes I know that the gender predictor is just for fun, lol... I guess I might put too much thought into things lol!

    • ANSWER:
      HAHA.. what is funny is I had never thought of that! HAHA good point!

  13. QUESTION:
    Intelligender Gender Predictor Test?
    Has anyone used the Intelligender Gender Predictor Test or knows someone who has? If so, how accurate where the results for you or the person you knew who took it?
    I'm thinking about using it. Its supposedly 90% accurate in lab results but only 82% accurate in the "real world" results.
    I would really love to know what I'm having instead of waiting until my 20th week of pregnancy. It supposedly can be taken as early as 8 weeks gestation and I'm now 13 weeks. The price isn't too bad either!!!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't mind spending .+ on a novelty then get it. I ordered one yesterday. if you look at their "testimonials" you will see it's a pretty mixed bag. i think it will be fun, not reliable.

  14. QUESTION:
    did the chinese gender predictor work for you?
    did it work for all of your pregnancies? It tells me im going to have a girl *im hoping for a girl* and i went back to when i conceived my other children to check it out and it was right for my son but wrong for my daughter and it was right for my sister in law..i just wanna have some fun with it,what did it tell you? =)

    • ANSWER:
      Yes maam. Both of my living children it was right on with. I had a set of twins that died at birth, it said it was a girl, and ended up with a boy/girl so it was still 1/2 right.

      It says I'm girl bound this time too........... My son will never get to use the bathroom mirror again lol

      but bottom line is its just for fun, your gonna love it no matter what it is.

  15. QUESTION:
    gender predictor tests...did it work for you?
    So i did an old wives tale gender predictor test. I'm confused or maybe it is right. But from what i hear a circle means a boy and back and forth is a girl. But when i did mine i got a back and forth, then circle, then back and forth. This is my second pregnancy, and I am having a girl. I tried it on other women and for all of them who had a boy it was back and forth, and for a girl it went in a circle as well. I also did the chinese calender one and it came out a girl. Has anyone tried any gender tests and had them come out right. I know it's just for entertainment but i am just curious.

    P.S i did have an ultrasound so i know it's definetly a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese one was right for me. But as for the other old wives' tales, it was pretty much 50/50.

    Has Anyone Tried the Intelligender Gender Predictor?
    I just learned of the Intelligender Gender Predictor today at the doctor's office. I saw it featured in one of the pregnancy magazines and first thing I thought was I just have to have it! I came home and searched it up online and am finding alot of mixed reviews. I'm just wondering if anyone else has any personal experience with it that they can share? I'm wondering whether or not I should spend my money on it or just wait another 11 weeks for the ultrasound. If it is accurate I would be more than happy to spend the .00, however I don't want an inaccurate result. Please inform me if you've tried it and how your results were!

  21. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Lunar gender predictor work?
    This test has worked for me in the past, but I hear from many women that it was wrong for them. Perhaps they are forgetting to put their chinese age (add a year)? If you go to these websites and try; www.babygenderpredictiontest.com, or www.bounty.com/pregnancy/GenderGuesser, or www.select-baby-gender.com/chinese-lunar-calendar.aspx see what you get.

  29. QUESTION:
    question about baby gender test?
    i was in the store looking around and i saw this thang that you can do its like a pregnancy test but instead it indicates if you are having a boy or girl...i think its a baby gender predictor or test whatever. but i just wanna know has anyone ever done one and it work? or do they work?

    • ANSWER:
      They claim to be able to tell gender from the urine. There has been extensive research for many years and there is nothing in the urine which can predict with any certainty the gender of a baby. Otherwise they would use them in medical settings. But they don't.

      Surely it's going to "work" for some people, it has a 50/50 shot a being correct. I wouldn't waste my money.

    • ANSWER:
      google chinese pregnancy calender and it should come up. My prediction was wrong it said a boy and im having a girl

  34. QUESTION:
    Help me predict the gender?
    I, of course, will be happy with either sex but I do have a certain gender in mind! I know exactly when I got pregnant as I know my body very well and we were only able to make love once during that cycle. I know that there is no "for sure" way to tell other than ultrasound but I would like to know the thoughts of others just for fun! I find out in 2 days depending on if the baby cooperates. Anyway, here is what happened:
    I have a 28 day cycle and my LMP was Jan 12th. We made love missionary position on Jan 21st and I had the most abundant cervical mucus I have ever seen! I had fertile cm the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and it dried up on the 25th. I know for a fact that I ovulated on the 25th due to basal body temping, opk's and the drying up of the cervical mucus. Overall, I am very in-tune with my body. So, I made love 4-5 days before I ovulated. Now on to the pregnancy details- I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I had the worse morning sickness I have ever heard of! I was throwing up 7 to 10 times a day until the 12th week and lost 15 lbs. The sickness for the most part passed but I still throw up about once a week. I am just now starting to gain weight and starting to show just a little bit, I have to use a rubber band to get my pants to button. I hardly have any cravings but if I do, I guess they are all for sweet types of food. Truth is that I hardly feel pregnant and if it wasnt for getting to hear the heartbeat I would doubt it all together! Oh, and even at 7 weeks the heartbeat was really strong and according to the doc, it was fast! Well that pretty much sums it up:) Like I have stated, I know that none of the details really mean much of anything but I like to day dream! Additionally, the chinese gender predictor states my baby will be a girl but how accurate can that be? Please share with me what you think the gender may be!

    • ANSWER:
      I am a firm believer in the Shuttles Method for conceived a boy or girl. I already had a girl and used this method wanting a boy and it worked for me! Going by the information you gave me I firmly believe you are carrying a baby girl. Why? Here's why:

      When trying for a girl it is said to not have sex within 3 days of ovulation. You had sex 4-5 days before ovulation and this favors a girl dramatically because boy sperm die off quickly.. you had 4-5 days after having sex before you ovulated... girl sperm live a lot longer.. by the time the sperm reached the egg It is most likely that all the boy sperm had died leaving a girl sperm to penetrate the egg.

      So in all fun I to sum it up I really, really feel like your gonna have a baby girl. If the baby cooperates please let me know when you find out!! I'd love to know if the baby is a girl!! Congrats on the pregnancy!

  35. QUESTION:
    Did you find out the gender of your baby? ( B.Q., too! )?
    This is my first, and I really want to find out the gender as soon as possible!
    I'm more of a planner and control freak, so I like to know everything and have the nursery prepared and everything lol

    How about you guys? Do you want to find out, or did you already find out with your baby?

    I'm in a more complicated dilemma since my hubby wants it to a be a surprise; he says it'll give us something to anticipate for the pregnancy, which I agree, but then that means a three months' worth of yellow and green onesies ;)

    What would you do?

    B.Q. Does the Inteligender Gender Predictor work?? If you or someone you know has used it, can you tell me if it worked for them or not and if it was worth the price ( I heard they can be around or so )

    Thank you so much!

    --Kate

    • ANSWER:
      I am a planner too and want to know everything before I should know it. But to be perfectly honest, it's actually exciting and something to look foward to when you get to know at your 20 week ultrasound. Sure, you can get the gender predictor test but it isn't 100% and why do you need to know at 10 weeks anyways. I found that week 20 to week 30 were rather boring weeks. All that goes in is more movement, more growth, and the glucose test. Between the time you find out/have first dr. appointment (12 weeks) to about 20 weeks - there's a lot of stuff happening that is exciting. You are still on a high from being pregnant, you start to show, you start wearing maternity clothes, and you can do a little baby shopping. After 30 weeks, you'll nest and finish up getting what you need, have baby showers, pack your hospital bags, take birthing classes, etc. It's just an exciting time.
      Wait until 20 weeks to find out the gender - it's much more worth it AND exciting!!!!

  36. QUESTION:
    pregnancy body changes if i have a boy?
    well i might be pregnant and i did this online baby gender predictor that calculates by my birth day and month when i concieved and it said i would have a boy and if i do i want to know what my belly would look like because they say when you have a boy you get really big and i have a tall skinney frame....
    the chinese calender predictor worked for my cuzin so i kinda belive it

    • ANSWER:

  37. QUESTION:
    Was gender prediction accurate for you?
    Ok so i am obsessed lol. I have an ultrasound in about a week to find out the sex of our third and final baby. We are really hoping for a boy this time as we have two little girls right now. So, I tried those gender prediction quizzes online because this pregnancy is so different then both my girls were. Every single one says 90% boy! I hate it because i dont want to get my hopes up and i know i should have just stayed away but curiousity killed the cat and its killing me too! lol. SO how many of you had the same kind of outcome on the gender predictors and it ended up being true?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a gender prediction kit you can buy at Wallgreens. It's kind of expensive though, but if it puts your mind at ease, why not. Hope it's a boy! I knew a couple that had five girls trying to have a boy! Good Luck!

  38. QUESTION:
    Did 'gender predictors' work for you? (Old wives tales, etc)?
    I'm just curious to know if anyone out there has tried the gender predictors and if the results just seem to be totally random...

    I'm 32 weeks with my first and we don't know what we're having. Friends and family mainly think that I'm having a girl, so I thought I would fool around and see what the online predictors say... I tried the three following sites and have listed their results.

    If you know what you're having (or already had a baby), did they ever work for you? Or if you haven't tried them, check these out and see what they say!

    http://www.babygenderpredictiontest.com/
    Said BOY
    http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/genderpredictor/default.asp
    Said GIRL
    http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html
    said GIRL

    • ANSWER:
      all the old wives tales said I was having a boy, but the chinese gender chart said a baby girl!

      I thought for sure I was having a boy but later found out that I have a beautiful daughter! :)

      I think a lot of it also has to do with what you think you are having. It is obviously going to change your answers and make you think harder in to how you answer the questions :)

  39. QUESTION:
    Could Old Wives Tales Be True?
    This might sound silly, but have you heard of the Old Wives Tale about the "Ring on the String Gender Predictor"? It is said that if you place the ring (held by a string) over a pregnant woman's hand or belly, and it moves in a circle, it's a girl. If it moves side to side, it's a boy. Well, after several negative pregnancy tests, and seeing periods (some irregular, some regular), I tried this just for laughs. Last month I tried it over my stomach, and my hand and nothing happened. Then I tried it over my boyfriend's stomach and back while he was sleeping. It was crazy! The ring started swinging from side to side (I was holding my hand very still)! A few days ago, I decided to try it on myself again with my hand very still. This time the ring started swinging very,very fast! I'm wondering could this be a pregnancy predictor as well? Or, just an "Old Wives Tale"?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you will find that the ring on the string thing as you put it, will also move on a plain surface such as a table or floor.....
      Yes it does move, sometimes circular, sometimes from side to side...
      Some people use this as a type of pendulum in conjunction with a home made Ouija board which in turn moves. In this scenario, you can actually feel the magnet force that moves the pendulum as you hold it above the letters..
      By this, I'm not telling you to go ahead and try this, especially if you don't know what you are doing as it is extremely dangerous for the inexperienced....but the fact is..it does work....take care.

    • ANSWER:
      I have three girls and are 33 weeks pregnant with my fourth..I too found the old chinese gender prediction and read all the stats that it was thousands of years old and was 90+ right..it said This time I would have a Boy (which was our hope)..Guess what...Found out at our 20 week scan,,another Girl!!
      Which was later confirmed with our 3d scan too.
      Of course we're not disappointed..a healthy baby is enough for us but as someone who too loved taking all the fun prediction tests..im afraid until you get that scan confirmation...it's anybody's guess!!
      Good luck with your pregnancy! xx

  42. QUESTION:
    Im 15weeks and 3days pregnant today, first pregnancy !!?
    : ) !!
    I tryed out some chinese gender predictor, and the answer i got was, a boy.
    Im getting pretty close to being able to find out the sex of my baby, so thats really exciting : ) !!
    I guess i've got two questions here haha.
    Has anyone ever tryed the gender predictor, and then actually have the gender that it told youu, youu would ?
    and..
    How far along where youu when youu got to find out the sex of your baby ?

      Good luck!!

  43. QUESTION:
    Chinese calendar, baby predictor - was it correct for you?
    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if any of you, whether pregnant or already mothers, ever looked at that Chinese gender prediction chart and if it was correct in predicting the gender of your pregnancies?

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!

      My husband and I are also planning to have a baby soon.
      I also have the same question. I know many people that say it has worked for them and others who say it didn't. But I heard the trick is that you must use your chinese age, which is 2 years old then your age.

      Best Wishes

  44. QUESTION:
    What are the strangest gender predictors and/or old wives tales you have ever heard?
    I am just curious. I am 15 weeks 3 days. My first pregnancy, everyone told me about all these different wives tales. I actually did a few of them HaHa
    First the heart rate thing: Anything over 140 it's a girl and below is a boy
    Second: Pee in Drano, if it turns brown means boy, green means girl
    Third: Pencil on a string; wedding band on a string

    Also I had a lot of heartburn but my baby wasn't born with a lot of hair. LOL I had a boy even though the heart rate was borderline and the drano did turn green.

    Got any more strange "old wives tales" you would like to share? Did anyone actually go as far as trying them? And were they correct? This is just for fun BTW!! :)

    Congrats on all those who are pregnant and baby dust to all that are TTC!! :)
    I am hoping for a girl!!!

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the drano test and it turned brown. YAY! We want a baby boy so bad. Oh and im carrying way out front.

      Ive heard that boys give beauty and girls take it away. If you think you look better now than you did before conception .. its a boy. If you feel like you look worse .. girl.

      My grandma says if you can tell your pregnant from the back its a girl. If you can look at the back of a pregnant woman and not know her condition until she turns around .. its a boy.

      Good luck! Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

  45. QUESTION:
    should i get my hopes up (plus guess the gender of our baby)?
    im going to have a private ultrasound tommorow, i will be 16 weeks exactly. we are hoping to find out the gender of our baby, the last 2 days i have been getting ultra excited most of our family has found out at like 16-18 weeks but people keep on saying that i probly wont find out. we didnt find out at all the gender of Bella (by choice) i dont know shouldi get my hopes up.

    also i thought it would be nice to see what people think im having, this is just some old wives tales

    craving wise early on it was cheese but now its those big cookies
    i conceived baby in winter which suggests a girl
    i have a daughter, shes 7 months, im having a completely different pregnancy so far
    not much morning sickness
    dizziness
    chinese chart says blue
    family predictor says girl (its never been wrong)
    engagement ring round belly says boy
    im thinking boy for some reason which is weird as im sorta wanting another girl (wouldn't care though)
    my fiance is saying girl
    most of my family says girl

    • ANSWER:
      theres a chance you will find out the sex but dont get your hopes up just incase you cant, im sure you can find out at your next scan if you dont get to know at this one though. and im not sure why but i just always assume youre having a boy lol good luck at the scan x

Gender Pregnant

What Makes You Conceive A Boy Baby Instead Of A Girl
I'm often asked just what it takes to ensure the conception of a boy baby. I could answer this question in one of two ways. I could talk about PGD or embryo screening in a lab or clinic. (And, this method makes it absolutely positively possible to get you a baby boy conception, but it costs thousands of dollars. In today's economy, many couples do not have this luxury.)Or, Icould discuss homemade ways to get the same results.Now, in truth, most everyone is going to love what nature gives them. Once you see your baby,all of thisthinking goes out the window.They just want to naturally and cheaply try to stack the odds in their favor. I'll discuss how to do this in the following article.

What Is Needed For A Boy Baby Conception: To put it as simply as possible, to become pregnant with a boy baby, you'll need to make it so that the Y sperm fertilizes your viable, healthy egg. You have to do what is necessary to ensure that when the day of conception arrives, your reproductive tract is filled with many Y sperm, but has very few X (or girl) sperm. Your best case scenario is that there are noX sperm at all, but this takes some doing. Luckily, the boy sperm are much faster, so if there are more of them, those present are going to be the quickest of the bunch. Now, onto how to make this scenario a reality.

Three Ways To Get Rid Of The Girl Producing Sperm: There are basically three ways to get rid of the sperm that will get you a girl baby and, for optimal results, you need to focus on them all. The first that I'm going to talk about is timing. The first thing that you need to do is to determine exactly when you ovulate because this is the day that you are going to conceive your son. When I tell people this, they will often say "but by waiting aren't I wasting a lot of fertile days? Can't sperm live for a few days?" Yes, some can. The girl sperm can. But, these are not the ones you want. So, you will need to wait. In truth, the Y sperm have a shelf life of only a few days. So, the best way to maximize this small window is to wait until the day of ovulation. Get yourself a very reliable ovulation predictor that will give you ayes / no answer and focus on only that day.

The second thing that I'm going to talk about is PH and acidity. I've alluded to the fact that the boy sperm do not live as long. This is true and unfortunate. Another thing to contend with is that the boy sperm become even more weak once they hit your vaginal tract. This environment is usually just too hostile and has a high PH. Remember, we want a lot of Y sperm and very few (if any) X's. So we can't let this acidity continue. For a boy, you must lower your PH. You can do this by douching and by eating a low PH diet. You will need to avoid foods that are high on the PH scale (acidic) and eat only foods that have a low PH. There are food lists that list tons of foods by low to high PH and will tell you which are off limits.

The final thing to consider is the intercourse positions that you use. Shallow penetration will give the sperm a longer and very damaging exposure them to this environment. Deeper penetration will make this a reality. So, which do you want to use? Deeper penetration, of course. You want to limit this time as much as you can. You want to do whatever you can to make a direct and short path to where the sperm needs to go.

Conceive A Boy is a website I set up to make the process of having a son a bit easier. I've included instructions and resources for the douching recipes, food lists, PH testing strips and saliva predictors, as well as hints, tips, and support.

Gender Pregnancy Calendar

Quick Track Your Success of Having a Baby Boy Or Girl - Get the Gender You would like
Do you need to possess a child boy or lady? You will find measures you are able to get to far better your probabilities of providing birth to both sex.

Blue for boys or pink for ladies
When you have your heart set on bringing just a little prince into this globe you'll need to know some issues. Very first the feminine reproductive eggs often carry the X chromosome along with the male sperm can carry possibly X or Y. This indicates the male determines the sex from the child and when the sperm that carries the Y chromosome crosses the line very first you may be blessed having a child boy. Despite the fact that the Y sperm is faster it isn't as powerful or resilient because the feminine X sperm so frequently dies just just before it reaches its vacation spot. So what exactly are the methods can assist in figuring out the gender of your child?

Timing is crucial
Ovulation predictor kits are nearly crucial in the event you desire a child boy as getting sex with your spouse in the exact time of ovulation will carry you nearer to that objective. Two days prior to and twelve hrs right right after ovulation will be the time zones you are able to work with. In comparison obtaining sex up to three days just just before ovulation will possibly provide you with a child woman, because the sperm that carries this X chromosome will probably be all that's left to achieve the egg for fertilization.

Useful positions
In attempting for any boy you would like the sperm to get to the egg as speedily as achievable so the deeper the penetration the far better. The rear finish placement is suggested for that feminine exactly in which she kneels on all fours. This offers the Y sperm a shorter distance to journey optimising the probabilities for any boy. When you have an abundance of pink child garments and are hoping for just a little princess the way in which to attain that is by making use of the missionary placement.

Also it can be suggested when attempting to get a woman the feminine doesn't orgasm because it generates a a lot more alkaline surroundings that will favour a boy. A much more acidic atmosphere, that is nearer to the entrance of your vagina, will carry child women, as this atmosphere tends to destroy the Y sperm off actually quickly stopping them fertilizing the egg.
Right right here is definitely an fascinating suggestion.If a man features a powerful cup of coffee prior to sex it offers the Y sperms a jolt. Well worth a shot for certain.

What meals want to you consume to get a boy?
The cause why various meals can make a distinction is to do using the pH of your vagina. As we've got mentioned the Y sperm favor an alkaline atmosphere and also the X acidic so the meals you place into your physique can aid affect what sex your child will likely be. You might laugh at this as that previous wives tale about bananas becoming really excellent for getting a boy has some fact in it. A diet plan substantial in potassium and sodium is definitely an important component of our child boy strategy. The right meals contain figs, apricots nuts, most vegetables and all bran.

Acidic foods for any child woman
Meat, cheese, yoghurt, fruit, corn and entire grains are regarded as probably the most acidic meals to assist you to get your attractive child woman. Just just before you embark on possibly of those diet programs get a pH testing kit and. the day following you commence your rigid diet plan examine your outcomes. This may show you in the event you want to modify any components with the diet plan.

Douching for any child lady
Douching is yet another help in altering the pH in your vagina to develop to be far more acidic and when it really is a woman you've got been wishing for lime juice can be a well-known option. You'll need to get pH testing strips from a pharmacy and combine one-part lime juice to about four elements of h2o. When the pH is too higher (degree want to be about two) add a lot more lime juice and when it's too reduced dilute with a lot more drinking water. You are able to soak a tampon using the combination and insert it into your vagina and depart it for a minimum of an hour just just before sex. You are going to be capable to also use a syringe rather if favored.

Douching recipe for any child woman
The traditional douche to make the vagina a lot more alkaline and much less acidic is really a combination of baking soda and h2o. Use two tablespoons with the baking soda and dilute with drinking water. Make use of the testing strips to examine the outcomes as just just before.

Should you consider these ideas and work with them you'll boost your odds of getting the child you need. Regardless of whether it be considered a boy to carry around the family members identify or a bit woman for her new dad to dote on sticking to a gender strategy can make it extremely achievable.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese pregnancy gender calendar work?
    Does the chinese pregnancy gender calendar really work?

    • ANSWER:
      Nope, not for me. I was having three girls if it was right. My first child said girl (it was right), my second child said girl (it was wrong), and my third child said girl (it was wrong). I have a daughter and a son and one on the way. So I wouldn't count on that as an accurate predictor.

  2. QUESTION:
    Did the Chinese Pregnancy Calendar predict your babys gender correctly?

    • ANSWER:
      Oh look, it was right for about 50% of the answerers here. Just like every other guess.

  3. QUESTION:
    How correct is the Chinese gender calendar?
    I was wondering how many women found out that the chinese gender calendar was right with their pregnancy on what they ended up having? Was it right? i was just wondering how many times it was correct it was with everyone. just wondering.

    • ANSWER:
      its pretty accurate if its read correctly... I know about 9-10 people i know it was correct. :) I'm finding out soon so we will see if its correct with me.. It says its a boy...

      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

      It was right for all three of my pregnancies. We were thinking we were done because we have three boys and I didn't want to chance trying to have a girl only to have boy number 4. But I really have been thinking about trying to plan it by those calendars to see if I could have a girl!!

    I understand the Chineese calendar is used from the day of conception. Unfortunately, people are getting me confused. Do you go by the day you had sex? or the first month of pregnancy? Has anybody used this caledar, what were your results?

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn't matter. It can never absolutely tell you what gender your baby will be, everything except a sonogram and an amniocentesis is just a guess. After all, every single one of those old-wives tales about how to find out the gender have a statistical chance of being right half the time.

  16. QUESTION:
    Chinese Lunar calendar gender predictor?
    I was just wondering for who the chinese lunar calender worked and for who it didn't. We are TTC and according to the calendar if i conceive now thru november I'd have a boy. We'd be happy either way but are hoping for a girl. I tried the calendar for everybody i could think of and it was right. What are your experiences?
    Just wondering...
    Here's the calendar:
    http://www.holodeck.com/pregnancy/chinese-cal.html

    Thanx :o )
    Supposedly you have to check it with your chinese age (i think it's your age plus 1 year because they count your age from when you are in your mom's womb?!... something like that)
    So I am born in June 82 and I'm now 27 years old, but would be 28 in chinese age... It still would be a boy for me...

    • ANSWER:
      Well I conceived in July of 2008 and according to the calendar my daughter is supposed to be a boy.

  17. QUESTION:
    Anyone know if this Chinese Lunar Calendar Actually Works For Determining Gender?
    If you could try this out and lemme know if it was accurate or not.
    http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know but I'm anxious to see others responses. It says I'm having a girl. I tried that, the Farmer's Almanac and all kinds of old wives tales and they all say a girl. So I'm choosing to be a believer! lol Don't know what you're wanting, but good luck and I hope you get it!!

    Pregnancy- Gender Wifes Tales / Myths?
    Robert is Husbands name =)

    I dont know my last period so i cant use a chinese calendar.
    I am about 4 months pregnant and we arent going to find out what it is at mother in laws request. I guess it is a very special surprise and gift when you dont know what it is. I dont really care too much to find out but its hard not to shop for a boy or girl. I know there is alot of wifes tales and myths such as: If you are showing low in your stomach its a boy? Or if you get wide before you get a belly its a girl? or If you put a ring on a string lay down and hold it over your belly what ever way it moves its a boy or girl? Have any of these myths or wifes tales worked for you? Would you say any of these are true or false? Do you have any gender myths or wifes tales please share. Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      They are mostly false, or just for fun but here is a list;

      It is a boy if...
      you add your age and the number of the month you conceieved and it is even

      dad to be is packing on sympathy weight

      your nose is getting wider

      leg hairs are growing like weeds

      pee is easter egg yellow

      your hands are dry

      your bump rides low

      a ring swings back and forth when held over your tummy

      it is a girl if....
      number added up is odd
      your junk is in the trunk and yours hips rather than your stomache

      pms is nothing compared to your pregnancy moods
      your hair turned slightly red head
      you look like you got a boob job
      your pee is dull yellow
      bad acne
      craving sweets
      bump is high
      a ring swings in a circular motion around when held over your tummy

  21. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar? Has it came out true to you?
    Ever since I found out about my pregnancy I am so curious to what my baby is. I think about it everyday. I have done some research to see if I can find out before that 20 weeks ultra sound what i'm having (i'm just 10 weeks). I looked into the old wives tales, and looked at a dozen Chinese Calendars, but i'm still not convinced. If you know about this, what are the symptoms of having a boy and what are symptoms for girls?
    How do you really read the Chinese Calendar? Some say currant age and month when baby was conceived,

    and some age when the baby is born, and conception. So it confuses me.

    • ANSWER:
      the calender was wrong on both of mine but hey you have a 50/50 chance of it being right for you right lol good luck and congrats

  22. QUESTION:
    Has the lunar calendar worked for any of you for predicting your baby's gender?

    here's a copy of it if you aren't sure

    i figured it up for my mom, and I was supposed to be a boy... :)

    • ANSWER:
      yes worked for me with both mine!

  23. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese calendar correct for you?
    For those of you who already know what you are having, was the prediction on the chinese calendar correct? Not the calculator but the calendar. For those who haven't used one or seen one, it is a gender prediction chart, you go by your age at conception and the month of conception, please check it out and let me know if it was correct for the gender of your baby. chinesebirthcalendar.org. It was correct for my pregnancy, but it was a 50/50 shot. Wanting to get prego again and just wandering about its accuracy.

    • ANSWER:
      No it was not... It predicted a girl for me and I'm having a boy =) It is really a fun thing which has only 50/50 shot.....

  24. QUESTION:
    What pregnancy symptoms did you have and what is the gender of your baby?
    What pregnancy symptoms have you had an what is the gender of your baby? I am curious as to if certain symptoms come with different sexes? Probably not but this is just for fun!

    I am 8 weeks pregnant with my second :) I am having a ton of nausea but REALLY bad indigestion and bloating. I have NO appetite. The chinese calendar says BOY! I think it could *possibly* be a boy. This pregnancy is POLAR opposite of the pregnancy with my daughter. I did have some sickness but it was only in the moring and then I was fine for the rest of the day. I had no indigestion or gas and I was starving all the time.

    Thanks for answering and God Bless!

    • ANSWER:
      I've had just about every symptom in the book except for morning sickness, I haven't even had the slight urge to throw up my entire pregnancy, thank goodness! I've had terrible nasal congestion and fatigue throughout my entire pregnancy. I had horrible bloating until 12 weeks. My biggest food craving has been cereal and ice cream, haha. I never craved anything weird, just things I would eat an every day basis pregnant or not. I've carried out front my entire pregnancy, I am all belly and I carried very high as well. In fact my due date was yesterday and I'm still carrying fairly high. I've had horrible heartburn on and off since 28 weeks. I've had sciatic nerve pain since 18 weeks, at first it was bad, then it was manageable, and now in the past couple weeks it's become almost unmanageable again. I also have a VERY active baby, she hasn't stopped moving since I started feeling her very early on. And it's a girl.

      Also I can tell you that every pregnancy is different regardless of the gender. My cousin had two completely different pregnancies and she had two boys. My other cousin is pregnant with her second and her pregnancy is fairly similar to her first - she had a boy first and is now pregnant with a girl. It just depends on how your body handles the hormones.

  25. QUESTION:
    HAS ANYONE HEARD OF ''CHINESE LANOR CALENDAR'' (plan the gender of what you desire) ??

    How many of you knew what sex your baby was before the ultrasound?
    My Bf and I have a bet going lol, he thinks it's a boy and I think it's a girl. I think girl because if we conceived when I think we did then according to a gender predicting calendar it's a girl. Not only that but all of my pregnancy symptoms according to wives tales leads to a girl. Any of you knew what you were having before you knew the sex?

    • ANSWER:
      I had a very strong feeling I was having a girl, and almost all of my family said girl. Judging from a lot of the old wives tales, I was pregnant with a boy. She's a girl!

  27. QUESTION:
    Chinese Lunar Birth Calendar - could it actually work?
    i was just reading a thing about choosing genders of babies, so i googled it and this thing came up about the Chinese Lunar Birth Calender which is a famous gender-predicting calendar drawn up by a Chinese scientist and then buried in a royal tomb 700 years ago.
    i thought i'd have a go just for fun and every month came up with a boy except for march! then i remembered a couple of years ago i was getting my fortune read while in Hong Kong and asked about children and he said i would have lots of boys! then i started thinking maybe it will be right, so i had a look for some credentials and although there was a small number of people who said it didn't work for them, there was a very large amount that said it did!

    Chinese calendar, baby predictor - was it correct for you?
    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if any of you, whether pregnant or already mothers, ever looked at that Chinese gender prediction chart and if it was correct in predicting the gender of your pregnancies?

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!

      My husband and I are also planning to have a baby soon.
      I also have the same question. I know many people that say it has worked for them and others who say it didn't. But I heard the trick is that you must use your chinese age, which is 2 years old then your age.

      Best Wishes

  30. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Lunar gender predictor work?
    This test has worked for me in the past, but I hear from many women that it was wrong for them. Perhaps they are forgetting to put their chinese age (add a year)? If you go to these websites and try; www.babygenderpredictiontest.com, or www.bounty.com/pregnancy/GenderGuesser, or www.select-baby-gender.com/chinese-lunar-calendar.aspx see what you get.
    I personally prefer the www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred as you have to enter your time zone as well. See how you go as I am interested in the results.

    • ANSWER:
      That's awesome! I did it before but I didn't know you had to add a year and all that good stuff. It was right this time. I had a boy. Thanks for putting that on here!

  31. QUESTION:
    chinese lunar calender/gender prediction?
    http://www.parentingweekly.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm

    How many of you used the fabled Chinese Lunar Calender to predict your child's gender and it was CORRECT??? Above is a link to the site if you haven't done it yet BUT ALREADY know the sex of your baby. I want to see just how right it is.

    P.S. You can always look up your dates for a baby that's already here, say your firstborn or something just to see.

    My 20-week ultrasound is Tuesday anyway, but i'm just so curious. The anticipation is killing me! tee hee ;o) My firstborn is a bouncing baby boy. He's 18 months already! Time flies. He will be 23 months when the baby is born.

    Thanks for your input ladies!

    • ANSWER:
      From vast experience, and many scientific studies, it's a fact that the Chinese Lunar Calendar is mostly 50% accurate.

      But, so is flipping a coin.
      Congrats on being a mother.
      Did you know that 1/2 of all parents are women?

  32. QUESTION:
    To all mothers of a boy and girl-I have 3 boys and I am pregnant with my fourth, I have looked at the chinese?
    gender calendar and it says boy! It was correct for my other children, is there any chance I might have a little girl? What do you think? I am only 12 weeks so I still have a couple of moths until I find out. If your amother of a boy and a girl, where your pregnancy symptoms different in each pregnancy? What were you symtoms for each? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      My symptoms were all very close and I have one girl and 2 boys and pregnant with a boy. The chart was on with all but my second and they said girl and he was boy! I also learned to that the ore boys or girls you have the more likely you are to have that same sex especially if those children were back to back. (like, boy,boy or girl,girl)

  33. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the chinese Chinese Lunar Calendar aka Chinese birth chart to predict your baby's sex?
    I was just curious how accurate this thing is. Can you guys try it and let me know?
    Here's the website:
    http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Chinese-conception-gender-chart-9.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I can tell you as a Chinese who was born into a well educated family...no high educated Chinese people use that system. It is called superstition.

      Like someone said, it is a 50/50 chance to get it correctly. However if you think about it, a random guess would also have a 50/50 chance to get it right if you have a large enough sample, since there are only two possibilities(99.99% the time anyway).

  34. QUESTION:
    I had 2 boys, how to increase my chances to conceive a girl?
    I tried the chinese calendar that calculates the gender of the baby and my last 2 pregnancy was 50-50. the 1st one was accurate and but the 2nd one. Hence, don't really trust this.

    I appreciates all kinds of suggestion or recommendation.
    Thank you, blinky47! I always considered myself blessful with 2 beautiful 'monsters'. They are y life although they do 'terrorize' my life at times.
    Thanks, Neva2sweet86! Will take note of this. And I heard of the positioning as well. Any recommendations that had work so far?

    Anatomy scan next wednesday. Should we find out the sex?
    This is our 3rd baby and im 18w 1d. 1st was a suprise, 2nd we found out. They were very easy choices to make but with this one we just cant decide. My partner i think is leaning towards a secret or if we find out the sex to keep it just to ourselves. However im terrible with keping secrets like this where its just so exciting. I know id tell my mum, then she'd tell my brother and dad and then it would be family gossip in no time. Lol.

    I have a pretty strong feeling it is a girl. I have thought that for the last few weeks so last night i googled gender prediction methods. The chinese pregnancy calendar was right for my first 2 and says a girl for this one and 75-85% of the wives tales were girl. I know they dont mean anythying but its a bit of fun.

    Also here is a pic of me at 16 weeks, see if you can guess based on my belly http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/ms_pebble/?action=view&current=2011474.jpg

    Did I concieve on day of ovulation?
    My husband and I have 3 wonderful girls and thought we would give the Settles method a go mainly for fun to try to conceive a boy. Either way we really aren't too fussed if we have a boy or girl we will be over the moon be it boy or girl.....

    My question is this.......I have been tracking my temp and CM as well as using OK. Over the past 3 months i believe I have gotten in touch with my cycle.

    Before our attempt the following was done by both my husband and I.

    1. No sex for 5 days leading up to our attempt
    2. Hubby drank coke 30 mins before attempt
    3. Deep penitration (sorry TMI)
    4. Waited for my CM shift from creamy to egg-white
    5. Attempted 12 hours after first positive OPK
    6. Attempt was 3 days after temp rise (i waited for OPK and CM to be favourable)
    7. Also went by Chinese gender calendar for a laugh!

    We are over joyed as we got a + pregnancy test first go! What I would like to know is if going by your experience and knowledge do you think we did everything correctly to concieve a baby boy?

    Thanks for your help!

    • ANSWER:

  40. QUESTION:
    Could they be wrong about my ultrasound?
    I had an ultrasound at 18 weeks and they said it was a boy. Except I have this feeling that it's a girl. This pregnancy is much different from my first with my son. I'm craving sweets all of the time, something I don't ever eat and didn't crave with my son. I took the intellegender test and it said girl (I shouldn't rely on that but it's 86% accurate it says - those are pretty good odds). Even the chinese gender calendar says girl. My ultrasound said she said it looked more like a boy, could I still be having a girl? Has anyone else been told boy and they were wrong. I have another ultrasound in two weeks I am going to have them recheck, but don't want to get my hopes up. This is my last child (due to complications with my pregnancies) so girl would be really nice to end with.

    thanks!
    I do go to a hospital/dr that is also the school. So a student was performing my ultrasound with a teacher behind her.

    • ANSWER:
      it happened to my mother she was told that after 6 boys she was going to have another boy and she was very upset because she said that she thought it would be a girl and when she had the baby she found out it was a girl. i say go with your feelings but dont get your hopes up

  41. QUESTION:
    keep having dreams about my baby being a boy....?
    i was wondering if my dreams are right? i want a baby boy and i think its a boy but everything says its a girl (chinese gender calendar and old wives tales quizes) i know those arent always accurate but i take them anyway lol. my question is do u think im dreaming of my baby being a boy cause thats what im hoping for? i have a high risk pregnancy so to be honest i just want a healthy strong baby but if i could pick id love to have a HEALTHY boy:) has this happend to any of u b4?
    btw: im only 13 wks so i have a while b4 i find out

    • ANSWER:
      Its a girl

  42. QUESTION:
    Did you know the gender of your baby based on Mother's Intuition and later had it confirmed?
    I have a daughter and with her I was an emotional mess, looked awful, ate anything i can get my hands on. This one I am 12 weeks, very calm (eery for me lol) very selective in foods. I cannot eat meats or pork I only wish for Seafood. It just seems the total opposite. The chinese calendar predicts I will have a boy as it did I would have a girl previously and it was right. I just want to know if any women kinda "knew" what they were having before they really knew for sure. and if so what was it based on? feelings alone? feeling differently? anything would be interesting to know. Because I want my boy! and I'm really hoping the vast differences in the pregnancy symptoms between the first and this one means just that!!

    • ANSWER:
      I just KNEW I was having a boy! I just knew I was! I went for an emergency ultrasound at 16 weeks and 3 days. They told me its a boy! It was confirmed on June 14th 2008 at 8:55pm when they pulled at a 1lb 14oz baby boy!

      So I guess that would be a yes! Also chart told me a boy! SO it was right on for me! (All I wanted was chinese food and shrimp.....) ps. I hate both of those foods!

  43. QUESTION:
    Do you get annoyed with old wives tales?!?
    I do, I mean its 2010 for Heaven's Sake!

    I really want to scream next time I get told "ooh you're carrying low, its a girl!" or "you're craving chocolate?! Must be female!!" (what happens if you crave both sweet AND spicy foods?!?) or "Heartburn? Your baby will have lots of hair!!" (umm no its the pressure of the uterus against the stomach and the softening of the ring of muscle at the top of stomach due to the effects of progesterone allowing stomach acid to escape into the oesophagus, actually . . . .)

    I know you always get people who say "well it worked for me!" but thats because you have a 50% chance of being "right" either way and lets face it, 50% is good odds!

    I find this is worst of all with older women, perhaps because in their day not much was known or explained to them about pregnancy and childbirth. My husband's mother is the worst for these silly myths and she admits that although she had three kids she knows absolutely nothing about the facts of pregnancy. My own mum isn't much better - she really doesn't understand how the mechanics of pregnancy "work", despite having two children herself.

    Does anyone else feel like me - that they want medical facts and figures, not fairytales? Or do some people find old wives' tales comforting, because perhaps they are easier to understand than medical terminology, and they trust their aunties, mums and grannies more than they trust doctors and midwives?

    The only thing that has "worked" so far for me is the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar (boy last time, girl this time), but that doesn't mean I see it as anything other than a bit of fun and a lucky coincidence.

    It baffles me!
    It scares me silly that people beleive them! I can almost excuse it in my mum because of her age and her generation but hubby's mother is much younger and still beleives them!! She says she "doesn't want to know" the medical facts about pregnancy and prefers to rely on myths, old wives tales and "what happened to my friend". I'm sorry but that just scares the crap out of me, I need to be informed lol.

    I guess maybe women in the pre-internet days didn't have the opportunity to educate themselves as much as they do now, I'm not sure . . . but I see no excuse for young women today to beleive these fairytales . . .

    • ANSWER:

  44. QUESTION:
    do you think i am having a boy or girl?
    I am 13 and a half weeks pregnant. My Boyfriend and I are trying to guess what we think I am having ( just for fun were not rely on what our guess say). Any how we did the ring test over the belly and when I do it I always get girl except once I got boy. My boyfriend has only done it on my two times but both times got Boy. I had a lot less morning sickness this pregnancy then I did with my last (last time its was a boy) so the midwife guessed girl based on that. If we do the gender predication calendar it comes up boy ( I was 23 when I conceived and a conceived in Sept) unless we use my Chinese year (which I calculated to be 25) and the lunar month witch I calculated to be either the 7th or 8th lunar month depending on what day I conceived. I f I conceived on Sept 17th or before it says girl, if I conceived on Sept 18th or after it says boy. Problem is I don’t know for sure what day I conceived. My periods before were always irregular. But I had got on birth control in June of 09. So because I was on birth control I was a regular 28 cycle (I think) I would always start on the third day of my placebo pill and my periods were about 5 or 6 days long. My last “period” was Sept 9th and was completely normal. I had a ultra sound right after I discover I was pregnant in Oct and I was 5 weeks along at that time. I am now 13 weeks and 2 days. My due date is June 16th. Does anyone have any idea on when I conceived. Also just for fun what do you think I am having. A month ago baby’s heart beat was 160. Last night it was 150. (my sons heart beat was always 150).

    • ANSWER:
      According to www.pregnology.com, which is kind of a neat website, your conception date was Wednesday, September 23.

  45. QUESTION:
    Can you try this for me???

Gender Selection Methods

How to Conceive Baby Boy - How to Increase the Chances of Having Baby Boy - Natural Gender Selection Methods to Get Pregnant with Boy
How to Conceive Baby Boy - How to Increase the Odds and Chances of Having Baby Boy - Natural Gender Selection Methods to Get Pregnant with Boy

If you would like to know How to Conceive a Baby Boy orlike to increase the chances ofhaving a baby boy in order tocreate a perfectfamily, there are a few things that you can do naturally andselect the gender of your child. While there is no guarantee and no method is 100% foolproof, following these steps can greatly increase the likelihood or chancesthat you will have a baby boy.

Before we get started, it is important to understand the difference between the sperms that carry the Y chromosome, which are responsible for conceiving a boy and the sperms that carry the X chromosome, which are responsible for conceiving a girl. The Y sperm move very quickly, are quite small and don't live as long as the X sperm do.

They are capable swimmers, but Y sperm must reach the egg quickly or they die off, leaving only the X sperm behind to fertilize the egg.

So, How to Conceive a Baby Boy then?

Below are the three main factors that increases the odds orchances of having baby boy

1. How to Conceive a Boy - Timing Intercourse

Keeping these differences in mind, when you want to have a boy, you need to time intercourse as close as you possibly can to ovulation. The Y sperm only have so long to make it to the egg and you need to give them enough of a chance to get there before the X sperm do. If you can time intercourse to the exact day that you ovulate, you are greatly increasing your chances of having a boy.

While this doesn't always work and sometimes an X sperm will get there first, by scheduling intercourse in this way, you are giving the Y sperm the chance they need to make it to the egg first.

2. Increasing The Chances to Getting Pregnant with Baby Boy -Choose the Right Position

Sexual positions that allow for deep penetration can also increase the likelihood of having a boy. By allowing the man to orgasm as closely as possible to the cervix, the Y sperm will have less distance to go in their journey to the egg. Since they need a headstart, you are again giving them that extra edge to make it to the egg first.

The most common positions for deep penetration include woman dominant, so called doggy style, or penetration from behind as well as reverse cowgirl. In addition to the right position, it is beneficial if the woman orgasms before the man if you are trying to have a boy. This changes the PH of the fluids near the cervix, making them hospitable to the Y sperm.

3. Creating perfectAlkaline pH withThe Right Diet to have a baby boy

The foods you eat can also impact the gender of your child. If you want to have a boy, a diet rich in foods containing sodium and potassium is essential that creates an alkaline womb. The perfect food for this is a banana. Sweet corn, red meat and peaches are also recommended. While you don't want to overdo the sodium, small amounts can be helpful when you are trying to conceive a boy.

For more detailedtips, I would suggest you to readPlan My Baby Prince or Princess eBook by Alicia Pennington to conceive a baby boy.This is a step by step guide detailing 100% safe, natural and effective methods towards baby gender selection with 94% success rate.

Gender Select

How to Select the Gender of Your Baby Naturally
It is surprisingly common for couples to want to predetermine the sex of their child and for obvious reasons, this often occurs in families where there are already more than one child of the same gender. If you would like to select the gender of your baby naturally, there are a number of steps you can take which will increase the odds significantly.

One area you could consider concentrating on is your diet. It is known that women who eat a diet predominantly rich in alkaline foods are more likely to conceive a boy and those who eat acidic foods are more likely to have a girl.

Alkaline foods tend to include nuts, leafy green vegetables, carrots, beetroot, buckwheat, soy and tofu. Acidic foods include beef, chicken, eggs, dairy products and flour. Obviously, it is important to strike a balance between eating foods of the correct pH level and eating a healthy balanced diet which is important for conception. You must therefore explore the nutritional values of the foods which you choose, as it is perfectly possible to have a balanced diet whilst eating predominantly eating an acidic or alkaline diet.

Gender Selection

What Is The Cost Of Gender Selection?
While everyone's life is different, there are still some patterns that most people follow. People grow up, meet someone, fall in love, get married, and have a family. Some people are more relaxed about this than others. More controlling people want to accomplish all of life's patterns by a certain age.

These controlling people will be happy to know that if they are able to afford the cost of gender selection, they can even choose the gender of their child. It is the newest form of fertility technology, and it's one that many affluent couples are choosing.

However, the cost of gender selection, which varies, but is usually thousands of dollars, is something that prohibits many couples from trying out this new technology. The cost of gender selection depends on several factors, and these factors include the doctor, and the overall amount of time that the gender selection process will take.

Some couples think that not only is the cost of gender selection ridiculously high, but it is also not the best idea. These people subscribe to the idea that as long as the child is born healthy, then they could care less about what gender it is. It is also thought that people who want to control the gender of their child are extremely selfish people. These people think more about decorating the baby's nursery in fun colors rather than who the child will be as a human being.

Then, of course, there are also the people that want to choose the gender of their child based on preconceptions about male and female personalities. Boys are generally thought of as being easygoing, and thus easier to take care of. Girls are thought of as challenging, moody, and thus more difficult to bring up.

If you have ever had children, or even known someone who recently had a child, then you probably can relate with some aspect of the gender selection process. While happy with any gender, people usually do have a preference. For example, a couple might want to have a girl so that they can name her after a favorite relative or friend.

Another generalization is that women would rather have girls. This is mostly because it would be fun to decorate the room, and of course the wardrobe for a little girl would be more extensive that it would be with a boy. However, it's important to remember that while girls are fun to dress up, they're not dolls – they're people!

It's also thought that men would love to have a boy over a girl. A son could not only carry on the family name, but could also go into the family business. While this might be true in some cases, men also love it when they have a little girl that they can protect and spoil. While the issue of gender selection is most likely always going to be a controversial topic, it will still be something that some couples are going to continue to choose.

Gender Predictors

6 Ways to Determine the Gender of Your Baby
There are many baby gender predictors on the market these days. If you're looking at trying different methods to find out the sex of your baby before its delivery, remember there is nothing more accurate than actually waiting till your baby is born. None the less, it can be fun trying some of these methods. I'm going to run through a few on them to give you an indication of what is available to you.

Myths/Old Wives Tales

- Let your wedding ring do the testing! Take your wedding ring and tie it on a piece of string over your belly, let the string dangle and if your wedding ring moves back and forth then it indicates you are having a baby boy. If it's in a circular motion then it's a baby girl.

- Is morning sickness telling you something? If you have avoided early morning sickness than it indicates you are having a baby boy. However morning sickness throughout the pregnancy indicates to a baby girl.

- Does the heart rate have the answers if you baby's heart rate is slower than 140bpm then its more likely to indicate a little boy and faster than 140bpm indicates a little baby girl

- How are you carrying? If the mom-to-be is carrying low it's more likely to be a boy whereas high indicates a little girl.

Medical indications

- A morphology ultrasound This would be by far the most popular ways to find out the sex of your unborn baby This type of ultrasound is usually carried out around the 20th week, although this method still isn't 100% accurate it is the most accurate without potentially harming your baby.

- Amniocentesis This type of testing involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid by inserting a needle into the womb via the belly. This type of testing is done for genetic reasons ie diseases but as it comes with a range of risks e.g. miscarriage, it shouldn't be undertaking solely for the purpose of gender selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Gender Predictors!!!?
    I am 4 months pregnant and I am get all excited about discovering the gender of my new baby. But I have to wait until the end of the month to just schedule an ultrasound. I was wondering what are some old wives tales or predictors other mom's used and they were correct???

    • ANSWER:
      None of those things are true. I have 4 boys and all of my pregnancies were different. i carried them all differently. some I was sick, some I wasn't. Some I craved fruit and some I craved salt. The chinese calendar was right wit only one. The only thing that held true for all of them was the heart beat. Once I got to the second trimester their heart rates were 90% of the time under 160. The sex of the baby inside a woman can't effect her physical symptoms. Those old wives tales are just for fun.

  2. QUESTION:
    How far along was you when you got told the sex? and did u ever buy gender predictors from a store?
    Im 12 weeks going in for a ultrasound next week! And whos brought a gender predictor that got a correct guess?

    • ANSWER:
      I was 19 weeks. Some people say those gender predictors are correct but..they have a 50/50 chance of being correct and I wouldn't waste my money on it.

  3. QUESTION:
    Did gender predictors work for you?
    How accurate are the old wives tales, Chinese Gender Calender and such? Has it work or not work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Some were correct for me, while others were wrong.. Here is a great article i found examining the different gender prediction methods and which ones work and which ones don't..

      best of luck to u!

  4. QUESTION:
    What do you think about Chinese Gender Predictors?
    I don't know what to think because I keep getting different answers. Some tell you to use your Chinese age and the lunar month of conception (both are different from the REAL age and month of conception), but some don't tell you to use this. Some say girl, some say boy. I know it's just for fun, but why do I keep getting different results?

    • ANSWER:
      That's exactly it... They're just for fun. All of my predictors told me I was having a girl, and I am having a boy. I don't think there is any real way to predict what you're going to have. But they sure are fun to test out.

  5. QUESTION:
    What are some fun home gender predictors?
    I know only ultra sounds can confirm but this is just for fun, something to do to pass time until I get to find out for sure ya know? Anyone know of some fun tests or at home tests or anything? Thanks. =]

    • ANSWER:
      put a plastic fork on a chair and sit on it, if it breaks its a boy of not its a girl

  6. QUESTION:
    Having a baby: Do you think those Chinese Gender Predictors are accurate?

    I am pregnant with my 3rd baby. I have 2 boys and we are hoping for a girl this time.

    • ANSWER:
      Nope...I am pregnant with my second child, and both times the Chinese Gender Predictor has been wrong....:)

  7. QUESTION:
    Are the Chinese gender predictors really accurate?
    A friend of mine did it and it was right. Was it just luck. I want to know what I'm having but my appointments is still a couple weeks away. Can anybody relate?

    • ANSWER:
      Some people say the gut feeling works. But it was wrong for me... I was soo sure i was having a girl that i didnt even wait to buy "Her" things! ..i gave them all away after my sonogram :)

      Everything pointed to girl - the heart beat - the chinese calendar... but it was all wrong.

      I did however crave orange juice and thats a "boy" craving! Check those out :) Maybe they work best!

      Good Luck!

  8. QUESTION:
    Do those chinese gender predictors really work?
    I have 1 girl who is now 6 and 2 boys..i would LOVE to give her the little sister that she wants which would also make my last child if its a girl...The chinese charts say they are OVER 99% accurate which would mean they work for EVERYONE...is this a myth predictor? some ppl have said it works for them 100%..did it work for you? very curious...if it doesnt work then why does it say over 99% accurate? false info to me...

    • ANSWER:
      It worked for me, I am getting my little boy, but was off for my friend. She wanted a girl and had a boy. I hope it works for you!!

  9. QUESTION:
    How accurate are the gender calendars/predictors?
    Just out of curiosity.. Were these methods accurate at predicting the sex of your baby or accurate on helping you to conceive the gender of choice?

    • ANSWER:
      Those calendars aren't accurate AT ALL. They said my son was a girl and my daughter was a boy. With each of my children I had very vivid dreams about their gender before I even had an ultrasound. I was right both times. I can also predict my friends and family members babies' genders with 100% accuracy. I have a dream what about what the sex of their baby will be and I have always been right. Never once been wrong. I guess it's a gift I have. I've had quite a few friends get pissed off at me because I didn't tell them they were having what they wanted. They always insist that they "know for a fact" they are having boy/girl and they know I'm wrong. Turns out I'm always right and they end up apologizing. Anyway, I wouldn't trust those gender predictors or calendars to be accurate. I know it's hard to wait to find out but really an ultrasound or amnio is your only way of knowing for sure.

  10. QUESTION:
    are the chinese baby gender predictors usually right?
    my sister in law said it was right for her and for 2 of her friends but is it right most of the time?

    • ANSWER:
      I read they are statistically more right than wrong, but they are far from accurate.

      I have 2 and it was right only once.

  11. QUESTION:
    how accurate are the Chinese gender predictors?
    Because it says i'm having a girl, lol, help me to decipher the truth of this thing hahaha

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese gender predictors I have tried it with when I was pregnant with my first two daughters. It was right for my first daughter but wrong for my second. Unfortunately, I put too much faith in it and actually bought all of this "it's a boy" themed rooms....blue, race cars, the whole thing. I wouldn't take it again, unless it was just for fun.
      I am currently pregnant with my third daughter (isn't my husband lucky...going to live with four ladies! haha). I just couldn't help but take another gender predictor test, but this time it was one I bought from a company called GenderMaker. I learned my lesson and didn't start planning the baby room until after my ultrasound appointment, but it ended up being accurate. My results were the same for both the GenderMaker gender predictor test and ultrasound.

      Hope this helps, and don't make my mistake!

  12. QUESTION:
    anyone know any good site for like baby gender predictors or baby sites for pregnant woman that is fun?
    i already know about the chinese baby gender thing

    • ANSWER:
      Try fortunebaby.com which is a great website that is dedicated to gender predictions. It has a lot of different gender predictors including chinese gender chart, old wives tales, and fortunebaby gender predictor as well as many useful tools for pregnant women. I tried fortunebaby gender predictor and it turned out accurate for me and couple of my friends.

  13. QUESTION:
    Just for fun - what are all the gender predictors you know of?
    I am 15-plus weeks, and still just over a month away from my gender ultrasound, so I have been entertaining myself with "predicting" whether it's a boy or a girl. I realize none of this is founded in science and doesn't ACTUALLY predict anything, but it's still fun to see all the old wives' tales. :)

    So, just for fun, what are some that you've heard before to tell whether you're having a boy or a girl? (And did any of them turn out to be true for you?)

    • ANSWER:
      I'm going by one that I heard about: if you crave alot of sugar, it's a girl; salt, its a boy. I cant even eat sugary things right now cuz even a tiny piece hurts my stomach. more salt & cheese please!!

      i still have a long way to go til i find out but i think it's a boy. also because i kinda want a girl & everyone kinda hopes its a girl - its def a boy.

  14. QUESTION:
    Do gender predictors really work?
    Ok so I consider myself spiritual/superstitious or whatever
    but I don't know...
    I took a gender predictor test on babyzone.com (I'm ONLY 8 wks) answering questions based on old wives tales and it predicted I'm having my 3rd boy (hoping for that girl)...
    So what do you guys think?

    • ANSWER:
      They work half the time. ;) Obviously.

  15. QUESTION:
    Did you try the gender predictors online? If so were they right?
    Trying to see if anyones was right or if its absolutely a bunch of bs.

    • ANSWER:
      I use to swear by the chineese lunar calendar but it was wrong with this pregnancy. It said that I am having a girl. Then again though I guess that the ultrasound tech could be wrong and the kid could come out with a vagina...lolololol. It was right with my other kids.

  16. QUESTION:
    gender predictors? anyone have any links to one of these sites?
    ive been hearing of these sites that do old wives tales. anyone try one that turned out to be fairly accurate. i find out at my next appt what it is.

    • ANSWER:
      I did one of the Chinese ones, and it turned out to be right... It was odd, but I wouldn't wage bets on them lol

  17. QUESTION:
    Are baby gender predictors accurate?
    I've heard that chinese calendars are accurate but I've used them to figure out babies of all of my friends and it was wrong a couple of times; I also tried the one at www.justparents.co.uk and I'm not sure there either...

    Doesn't the father's chromosome pretty much decide the gender anyway?

    • ANSWER:
      no. its just entertaining.

  18. QUESTION:
    Are chinese gender predictors accurate?
    I have taken some and they say boy but i do have maybe one or two that say girl.How many of you got an accurate reading from them?

    • ANSWER:
      I have used few different chinese gender chart, and they all gave me different results. This is the one that turned out to be accurate
      http://www.fortunebaby.com/chinesegenderpredictionchart.html

  19. QUESTION:
    pregnancy gender predictors?
    do the online gender predictors work? or is all of it a hoax, im hopping for a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      well theyre honestly only 50/50 chance of being right, i think your instinct is the best judgement short of having a sexing scan, i just had this really strong feeling i was having a girl, and had 2 sexing scans and it is a girl, if you really want to know they are really worth having, plus you get even more pics if your lil angel and its only about £50 you can get one after 16 weeks xx

  20. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the new Gender Predictors that just came out? Is it accurate?
    They say you can take it at 10 weeks and you pee on the stick just as if you were taking an hpt.. I'm only 5 weeks along now but I'm curious if it works or not. My husband and I are debating on letting it be a surprise, as it is our fourth..

    • ANSWER:
      My friend bought one for me after i found out i'm having a boy but i didnt tell her.
      I took the predictor test around 22 weeks...it said i was having a girl and that's clearly not the case on the ultrasound haha.

  21. QUESTION:
    any gender predictors?
    has anyone used any gender predictors that you found to be fairly accurate? if so, what sites were they on?

    • ANSWER:
      My friend used intelligender it cost about 30 bucks but it is sooo not worth it.It is supposed to be accurate 90% from 10 weeks. It said boy and she had a girl. I'd say save your money and wait for your 20 weeks ultrasound. It's the most accurate gender predictor. It might be true for some but it has a 50% chance of being accurate. I did the chinese gender prediction test ( you can find it online it is free) it did work for me but anything you try... don't start your nursery based on that. Ultrasound is the best

  22. QUESTION:
    online gender predictors?
    where is a good and most accurate place i can go ONLINE to test my gender prediction?
    Im so anxious to know!!
    experience from online gender predictors would be nice:)

    • ANSWER:
      There is noway a computer can tell you the gender of your baby, you need to have a scan for that. It is good fun though and there's no harm in having a go just google it. I did and was told it was a girl, well my sonographer says there isn't much doubt that I'm having a boy so... lol.
      Hope this helps and don't worry the day to find out will come soon enough, pregnancy seems to go so slowly when you are waiting for the next stage but when you look back its like OMG where's it gone?
      xxx

  23. QUESTION:
    has anyone here tried one of those gender predictors?
    they work just like pregnancy tests except predict your baby's gender, they retail for 30 dollars at walgreens...would it be a waste of money to buy one? has anyone else bought one and was the prediction right? i'm not poor but i'm also not the richest person and could put the 30 dollars towards something else for the baby if it's too far fetched

    • ANSWER:
      Don't waste your money dear. My friend just used one, it said boy, and her ultrasound a week later said girl. Not worth it, buy some diapers instead. :)

  24. QUESTION:
    Boy or Girl gender predictors?
    Do boy or girl gender predictors work? Is there anything that is able to predict the gender of your baby before an ultrasound?
    serious answers only
    I was just wondering. I want a healthy baby obviously but its fun to prepare for a specific gender

    • ANSWER:
      flip a coin

  25. QUESTION:
    Did 'gender predictors' work for you? (Old wives tales, etc)?
    I'm just curious to know if anyone out there has tried the gender predictors and if the results just seem to be totally random...

    I'm 32 weeks with my first and we don't know what we're having. Friends and family mainly think that I'm having a girl, so I thought I would fool around and see what the online predictors say... I tried the three following sites and have listed their results.

    If you know what you're having (or already had a baby), did they ever work for you? Or if you haven't tried them, check these out and see what they say!

    http://www.babygenderpredictiontest.com/
    Said BOY
    http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/genderpredictor/default.asp
    Said GIRL
    http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html
    said GIRL

    • ANSWER:
      all the old wives tales said I was having a boy, but the chinese gender chart said a baby girl!

      I thought for sure I was having a boy but later found out that I have a beautiful daughter! :)

      I think a lot of it also has to do with what you think you are having. It is obviously going to change your answers and make you think harder in to how you answer the questions :)

  26. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know how accurate are those(chinese) gender predictors?

    • ANSWER:

  27. QUESTION:
    Pregnant : has you tried these gender predictors? were they right in your case?
    14 weeks and 4 days pregnant. i find out the gender at my next appt. and ultrasound at 18 wks...but in the meantime ive been trying some gender predictors FOR FUN...(the waiting game of pregnacy...lol) ive tried the needle and thread predictor as well as the chinese gender calender (which was used in ancient times, when having a boy child was extremely important to their culture) of coarse im not in NEED to know but its fun to take these tests. both said girl for me...what have they predicted for you? and were they predicted current?

    • ANSWER:
      The needle and thread told me girl and the chinese calendar also told me girl. I'm having a boy

  28. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  29. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had any luck with baby gender predictors?
    We don't want to find out with the baby is, but think it is fun to guess. I've went on several baby gender predictor sites and it looks like I have a 75/25 chance of having a girl. My sons say, when they see the ultrasound, that they are having a sister. I'm just wondering if anyone has had success with any of the predictors, that it was right.
    I tried the lunar calender/chinese age at conception and it said it is a GIRL! Also this pregnancy has been totally different than my boys were. I am craving restaurant food, I don't care for restaurant food when not pregnant. My husband says if it is a Girl then that would explain the exspensive cravings.

    • ANSWER:
      YES, if the tummy is more like a ball sticked out,then it is a boy. If it more flatter or more fuller to the side, then it is a girl. If you eat sour during end of prgnancy( 6 months and after) than it is a girl.
      If you eat more sweets towards the end (6 moths and up) then it si a boy

  30. QUESTION:
    Gender Predictors Things?
    What's that gender predictor thing carry high boy or low a girl or something?
    What are fun ways I can predict the sex? I don't want to know exactly I think it will be un guessing though?x

    • ANSWER:
      As a Mum of both a boy and a girl - High bump with no weight gain round hips and bum - boy
      Low bump with weight gain round hips and bum - girl

      Also try this fun test (It's from Greece) Someone hides a knife and a pair of scissors at opposite ends of a couch (without you knowing where each thing is) It shouldn't be in a place you're familiar with because we all have our favourite place to sit at home or at a very familiar house. Then you're invited to sit. Whichever side you choose determines boy or girl. Knife= boy Scissors = girl. Good luck!

  31. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese gender predictor really work?
    I recently checked out a website that I was referred to on this site, and I came across a chinese gender predictor chart. I am just curious whether or not this chart is widely accepted in the world as accurate? I know that it can't be 100% sure but does anybody have an idea of how accurate this tool can be?

    • ANSWER:
      This chart works 50% of the time, and that's about as good as it will get. China actually has laws that prevent people from having more than one child, and most families prefer to have a boy. With that being said, China has more homeless girls than boys and if the Chinese gender predictor chart actually worked, then this issue with so many homeless girls would not be as much of a disaster in China as it is right now. It's nice to believe that you can predict gender based on a date or something like that but this is false. If you want a real prediction you have to get an ultrasound or take matters into your own hands. Technology is getting better every year and you'd be surprised to find out that people can now determine whether they are having a boy or girl on their own. It's probably expensive though.

  32. QUESTION:
    Have you taken a gender predictor test or used the Chinese calender?
    The Chinese calender says it's a girl, the gender predictor urine test claims a boy. I'm so anxious and my 2nd tri ultrasound isn't until 2 weeks. If you hve taken these tests, how was the accuracy for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I used both and both were wrong.

  33. QUESTION:
    Is there anything that matters at the point of conception to determine a baby's gender?
    It is likely that conception occurred about two or three weeks ago. I don't mind whether we have a boy or a girl, but I would be really interested to know the reliability of various gender predictors before the 20-week scan.
    I am 34 years old and my Girlfriend is 33 years old.

    • ANSWER:
      If you had sex a day or 2 before she ovulated, possible girl cause the xx (female) sperm live longer. If you had sex day of ovulation possible boy cause the xy (male) are stronger swimmers. I have read this before in several different places.
      I have also heard but don't know how true it is, that a fast heart beat means girl and a slower one means boy.

  34. QUESTION:
    How accuratre was the chinese calendar baby gender predictor for you?
    Hi I'm 10wks pregnant and I went to the chinese calendar baby gender predictor to see if I was having a boy or a girl according to the calendar it say's I'm having a boy, I already have three girls so I really can't believe that I want to know if anyone had an accurate answer and actually had what the chinese calendar said? I'm not a big believer in that stuff but I heard it's pretty accurate please respond!

    • ANSWER:
      It said im having a girl and I did. I hope your having a boy!

  35. QUESTION:
    Are Gendermaker gender predictor tests easy to use?
    I want to try a gender predictor test, and have heard from friends that they are all complicated to use and it is hard to read the results on most of them. I just want to know if it is the same with Gendermaker, because I have heard some good reviews about it. Is it easy or complicated to take and read?

    • ANSWER:
      I ordered three for myself last week just to make sure the results were consistent. I'm only 9 weeks prego so I still have some time before ultrasound confirmation but according to the gender predictor test I am going to have a girl!

      So, the test is super easy. You need to use your 1st morning urine for the test and after you collect it you have to let it sit for about 2 or 3 minutes. You then use the dropper that they give you with the test to get the correct amount of urine and you take that and put it in the sample window of the test. You get a color chart with the test but it is supposed to turn pink for girl and blue for boy. Mine was pink/magenta colored which is close enough and I didn't really have much problem reading results. You actually get the color change really fast...in about 15 seconds. It is kind of like a pregnancy test in a way, but you don't have that agonizing few minutes that you wait for your results.

  36. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever used a chinese gender predictor and it come out correct?
    im expecting and i look at the chinese gender predictor. has anyone used one and it came out correct?

    • ANSWER:
      Statistically, it would be correct 50 % of the time.

  37. QUESTION:
    does the gender predictor they sell at the pharmacy really work?
    someone told me that at walgreens they sell a gender predictor that is 90% accurate, has anyone here have tried it? and if so, were the results correct or is just a flop?
    thanks in advance

    • ANSWER:
      It's only for fun. I never did it because I figured I didn't want to pay for it - if urine could really predict the sex of the baby, then why didn't doctors use it? I just waited for the ultrasound. I got the results from the ultrasound (a boy) and a friend bought me that thing. She pressured me into taking it for fun and it told me I was having a girl. When baby was born, he was a boy. 0% accurate for me.

  38. QUESTION:
    Anyone else find that the gender varies using Chinese Gender Predictor depending on which website you go on?
    I know it's all in fun but when I try to use the Chinese Gender Predictor, some say girl and some say boy depending on which website I go on.

    I was 33 when we conceived in December 2007. What do you think the gender will be? Any more reliable links would be useful. I know its not accurate but I thought it would be fun to find out before the ultrasound and see if it is correct.

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      It's because some sites use your age at conception and some use your lunar age at conception (it adds two years). The chart is the same but the different age makes a difference.

      Using my actual age, gender is wrong.
      Using my lunar age, the gender is right.

  39. QUESTION:
    Do any of you guys think those online gender predictors or the chinese pregnancy lunar calendar works???

  40. QUESTION:
    Ladies has anyone ever used the IntelliGender baby gender predictor? Was it accurate?
    Can u share personal experiences with me on whether u used a predictor or had a doctor accurately tell u the gender of your baby? How far along were you at time of prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I used this for my second pregnancy, it was a baby shower gift but put it in a cupboard and didn't find it until I was 30+ weeks, by which time I knew already I was having a girl, I did the test anyway for fun, and it did come up girl, how accurate it is I don't know as it has a 50/50 chance of being right. But still was cute although perhaps a bit gimicky.

  41. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender Predictors?
    I've heard the Chinese gender chart is pretty accurate but mostly every girl I know who went by it--had the opposite of wat the chart revealed. If I am currently prego my chart reads Its a Boy but Im really hoping for a girl. Any sure ways of knowing?? Are there any sex positions geared towards having female babies?? Ideally I want a baby girl first. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      It's actually not 50/50 because the rate of girls is about 55% to boys 45%. The book below has a whole chapter on gender myths and predictions like the Chinese Calendar and it explores every one of these myths at length. Other gender myths it discusses are dangling the wedding rig, cracking an egg on your stomach, Drano test and over 15 more.

  42. QUESTION:
    How does the baby gender predictor work?
    So i recently learned about the gender predictor method using a pencil needle and thread. If i am pregnant right now, but had an miscarriage before.. how would it work? Would it show me what i had first (miscarriage) Or would it show what im pregnant with now and then show what i was having before? I know this stuff isnt accurate but its fun to do! :)
    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      It is just for fun and is not accurate in the least bit so it wouldn't really be showing the gender of either but if your going to believe in that stuff I would assume the current babies gender since that's the one that's in your belly.

  43. QUESTION:
    did any gender predictors come to be correct for anybody?

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese gender chart worked for my 3 and my sister's 4, and a couple of friends. I have not yet to see it wrong.

  44. QUESTION:
    Does that chinese lunar calendar, baby gender predictor work?
    How many people have used the chinese lunar gender predictor calendar and had it fail??

    • ANSWER:
      i've used the chinese lunar gender predictor calender and sorry to say that it definitely was a fail . the calender predicted that I was having a boy ,that's what I was hoping for but,when I had the ultra sound done it revealed that I was having a girl .b/c it didn't work for me doesn't mean that it'll be wrong on your prediction ,but remember too get an ultra sound first, b 4 u go clothes shopping.

  45. QUESTION:
    Did anyone do the Chinese gender predictor?
    Did anyone do the Chinese gender predictor and have it turn out true?
    So far my first two pregnancys it has been right. This time it says a boy haha fingers crossed!

    • ANSWER:
      I did and it was right for me. I'm having two boys. My friends said girl and she just had a girl and my sister-in-law's said girl and she had a girl.

Gender Predictor Test

Predicting Your Baby's Gender Using Old Wives Tales

However, keep in mind that these are based on assumptions and have a 50-50 successful prediction rate. So try it out, only for FUN!

The rules that escort sex determination in the old wives tale baby gender guide are very easy to follow and find out. For instance, they say that if an expecting mother looks beautiful, it's a boy and if she loses out on beauty, it is likely to be a girl. Another theory which is highly popular with pregnant ladies is that, if the pregnant belly is satisfactorily round and big and placed high up, the little one hiding inside is a girl. On the other hand, if the belly is relatively smaller and lies low and protruded then chances are that the baby is a boy. A great fun idea is entwined in the Key Test. It is said that if the mother picks up the key from the top, that is the rounder part, then it is a boy and if she picks it up at the elongated bottom portion, then it is a girl. And in case, the mother picks it up from the middle, it definitely calls for celebration - its twins!

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Have you taken a gender predictor test or used the Chinese calender?
    The Chinese calender says it's a girl, the gender predictor urine test claims a boy. I'm so anxious and my 2nd tri ultrasound isn't until 2 weeks. If you hve taken these tests, how was the accuracy for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I used both and both were wrong.

  2. QUESTION:
    Who has heard of GenderMaker gender predictor test to determine if you will have a boy or girl?
    I'm thinking of buying GenderMaker gender test for my friend as part of her present for an early baby shower , but I don't know. Maybe I should just buy a neutral gender one piece suit. Thoughts?? I am single, no kids, so I really don't know what would be a good present for my friend for this occasion.

    • ANSWER:
      That is such a great idea! I am definitely keeping that in mind for the next present I have to come up with for any of my friends. I swear they are all getting pregnant one after another. I guess that's how you know Spring is here! haha. I think getting GenderMaker gender prediction test for your friend is a great idea. I have heard great things about it. You can't go wrong with this present unless your friend has already found out the gender of the baby.

  3. QUESTION:
    Another question about the gender predictor test?
    Sorry i posted earlier a question about if the gender prediction test had to be first morning urine. Well i wasnt patient for tommorow morning (lol) and took the test and came out to im having a girl. Do you think the test HAS to be FMU in order for it to be accurate? Did anyone ever take these tests and was accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      they are random

  4. QUESTION:
    I just tried the gender predictor test,has anyone gotten the wrong result?
    So it's going to be a another boy according the test.I understand the results may not be accurate.I also tried the needle test,that resulted as a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      With my last baby I took one and it said boy and she was a girl. I would not go by that test at all. I didn't even waste my money this time but ultrasound says I am having a boy this time and I found that out at only 13 weeks 5 days. The test is for fun and has a 50 50 chance of being right since you have a 50 50 chance of having one or the other

  5. QUESTION:
    I need help about a gender predictor test?
    I purchased a gender predictor test and was wondering if it has to be your first morning urine? This is my first time using this? i purchased it from gendermaker.com. Did anyone ever take this and was it accurate and did it have to be first morning urine? Thanks everyone.

    • ANSWER:
      FMU read the directions

      I took 2 of them - first one said it was a boy the second one said it was a girl - the kicker? I wasn't ever pregnant

      **Edit: I withheld the fact that your urine cannot determine gender

      Long story as to WHY I took them but yeah they're def. just for entertainment purposes only

  6. QUESTION:
    have you tried the gender predictor test at CVS?
    i just read on ParentsConnect there is a gender predictor text at CVS that tests for testosterone to see if you're having a girl or boy. have any of you tried that? was it right if you did try it? how about the gender predictor online here have you tried that and was it right?

    • ANSWER:
      I bought the intelligender at CVS for 30 bucks and took it at 10-11 weeks and it told me I was having a boy.

      I have actually had several ultrasounds since then and had 2 different sources tell me It's a Girl. Fun test but I don't believe it's reliable.

      After I bought the test I read somewhere that theres no way to pick up the baby sex just by testing your urine. Idk if thats true or not but its definitely something to think about.

  7. QUESTION:
    Has anyone taken the pink and blue gender predictor test and if so did it work?

    • ANSWER:
      I did. I waited until I was 15 weeks and followed the instructions perfectly. it said I was having a girl. 2 weeks afterward I found out I was having a girl! I bought it for my sister who is also pregnant(for fun we already knew she was having a boy) it said boy. I wouldn't go painting the nursery on what it says. Good luck and congrats.

  8. QUESTION:
    What do you think about this 'new' : Gender Predictor test (INTELLI ). It supposed to predicts the sex of your?
    baby at 10 weeks. How long as this been on the market? Sounds gimmicky to me. If it was accurate worked and it's just urine based, wouldn't someone have come up with it a long time ago? And wouldn't doctors use it for finding out gender instead of expensive procedures like ultrasounds? Give me your thoughts please

    • ANSWER:
      I have a friend who used it with all three of her pregnancies. It was right every single time.

      BTW...Dr's don't do ultrasounds to find out the sex. They don't care what gender the baby is. Only that it's a healthy baby. They do it for measurement and for medical reasons. Sometimes you can't even be sure through ultrasound. Had 3 with my daughter and she never showed the goods. We didn't know what we were having. Which was ok with me. I kinda liked that it was a surprise! :)

  9. QUESTION:
    I just took Fortunebaby.com gender predictor test, and they told me I am having a girl!?
    For those who used Fortunebaby.com gender predictor test, what were your results? Just wondering

    • ANSWER:
      I did Fortune Baby test and it said that the baby was a boy. it was Correct

  10. QUESTION:
    Has anyone taken a gender predictor test from the drug store?
    My friend took one of these from CVS for when she was 7 weeks pregnant and again when she was 12 weeks pregnant and both times it said her baby would be a boy, and it indeed was. She said a friend of hers did it and it was wrong. Have you guys taken one? How far along were you? Was it accurate?
    Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      i know tons of people who have taken them and its been right for few but wrong for others, 1 it said girl and 20 week scan showed boy. Then someone it showed boy and scan showed girl. it always says on it that its not 100% accurate

  11. QUESTION:
    Has anyone found a baby gender predictor test to be accurate that I could try?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese prediction calender is the only one that's worked for me. Every other one failed to work, told me I was having a little boy and there is a def. a little girl in my belly. You could try all sorts of them, but I wouldn't paint your nursery by the result. Most websites you buy them from also suggest not making any financial choices [meaning buy all pink stuff if it says girl] because they aren't proven to be correct all the time and they aren't liable if they are wrong.

  12. QUESTION:
    did you use a gender predictor test?
    I wonder about those tests that tell you if you have a girl or a boy, that are about 30 dollars? How accurate are they and at how many weeks?

    • ANSWER:
      I used Fortune baby gender prediction test for both my pregnancies, and it was correct both times!
      They also have useful pregnancy tools. Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    Are Gendermaker gender predictor tests easy to use?
    I want to try a gender predictor test, and have heard from friends that they are all complicated to use and it is hard to read the results on most of them. I just want to know if it is the same with Gendermaker, because I have heard some good reviews about it. Is it easy or complicated to take and read?

    • ANSWER:
      I ordered three for myself last week just to make sure the results were consistent. I'm only 9 weeks prego so I still have some time before ultrasound confirmation but according to the gender predictor test I am going to have a girl!

      So, the test is super easy. You need to use your 1st morning urine for the test and after you collect it you have to let it sit for about 2 or 3 minutes. You then use the dropper that they give you with the test to get the correct amount of urine and you take that and put it in the sample window of the test. You get a color chart with the test but it is supposed to turn pink for girl and blue for boy. Mine was pink/magenta colored which is close enough and I didn't really have much problem reading results. You actually get the color change really fast...in about 15 seconds. It is kind of like a pregnancy test in a way, but you don't have that agonizing few minutes that you wait for your results.

  14. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor Test?
    Just for fun of course but was the Chinese Gender Predictor Test accurate for the sex of your baby?

    • ANSWER:
      it was accurate for me

  15. QUESTION:
    Gender predictor test?
    Has anyone use the gender predictor test that are out now? I know a lot of the drug stores sell it for about .00. They say it is 82% accurate. Just wondering if any one tried, I think it sounds fun, but I don't want to waste ! Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      i would only do it for fun and not base anything on the results, i did those silly old wives tales and tallied up the score, and it turned out that i would have a boy because of what i was feeling and blah blah blah, but i'm actually having a girl =]

      i tried the chinese gender chart and most of them said boys also, until the night before my big pink or blue ultrasound, i tried one on a website [www.babyzone.com] and it said girl lol =]

      there are so many of the old wives tales its not even funny, so you can keep yourself entertained for hours, just don't try the ones that sound ridiculous though, like the draino test, that's just unsafe...and silly

  16. QUESTION:
    Intelligender Gender Predictor Test?
    Has anyone used the Intelligender Gender Predictor Test or knows someone who has? If so, how accurate where the results for you or the person you knew who took it?
    I'm thinking about using it. Its supposedly 90% accurate in lab results but only 82% accurate in the "real world" results.
    I would really love to know what I'm having instead of waiting until my 20th week of pregnancy. It supposedly can be taken as early as 8 weeks gestation and I'm now 13 weeks. The price isn't too bad either!!!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't mind spending .+ on a novelty then get it. I ordered one yesterday. if you look at their "testimonials" you will see it's a pretty mixed bag. i think it will be fun, not reliable.

  17. QUESTION:
    Gender Predictor Test (just for *FUN*)......?
    If you took this test, how accurate was it?

    I'm actually glad I wasted on it. I took it this morning & it said we are having a boy. My husband was disappointed b/c he desperately wants a girl. Since he has it in his mind that we are having a girl, I think it was a good wake-up call for him. So, for me it was worth buying... even it if was just for fun.

    So.... who has taken it and how accurate it (or isn't it)???

    • ANSWER:
      i have not tried this, but i thought you may like some of these!
      here are a few wife's tales about if it is a girl or a boy.
      if you crave Salt = boy, if you crave Sweet = girl.

      If you're left breast is larger = girl, if your right breast is larger = boy.
      if you sleep on your left= a girl, and on the right =a boy.
      If you're clumsy = boy, if you're graceful = girl.
      Soft hands/skin = girl, dry scaly = boy.
      Carrying high = boy, carrying low = girl.

    thanks!

    ps. I ordered one, ok I ordered 2! lol so I will keep you informed on if it was right or not!

    • ANSWER:
      They have a 50/50 chance of being right. There is no way to tell the gender of your child through your urine. They are a waste of money. I personally never bought one, but a lot of people in my birth club did and about half were wrong.

      Try the draino test....much cheaper. You can look it up online, but you do a 50/50 mixture of draino crystals and urine. Depending on the reaction it tells you boy or girl.

  20. QUESTION:
    What kind of gender predictor gender tests are out on the market right now?
    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

    • ANSWER:
      There are so many gender predictor tests out there I don't even know where to start, but I agree with the people above and recommend GenderMaker for you as well. Way easy to read and yeah it is pretty cheap. I'm not so lazy so I'll post a link for you.

    • ANSWER:
      I have blogged about Intelligender and my dealings with the company when they will not answer any questions about the test. They will also not tell you about their so called research. They are many old wives' tales out there for gender prediction and one of them is the "Drano" test which I believe is what Intelligender is using. The book below discusses over 14 gender prediction myths in one chapter and the Drano test is one of them. My thinking is that Intelligender is a waste of

If only it was possible to know the sex of your baby right away, and although there are lots of tests that give you answers, they are not 100% accurate.

  37. QUESTION:
    Anyone ever do one of those gender predictor tests from the store? Was it correct?
    I am just curious if anyone actually buys these and how accurate, if at all, they are.

    • ANSWER:
      Well I wanted to buy one but I couldn't find it in the store. So I looked up online and searched for any other ways you could do it, I found out that if you mix your pee with drano its the same thing. Thats kind of how the pee test works supposably. So I did it like 5 times, it all came out to be a girl. And I went in the next week for a sonogram, and it was a girl. So it worked, or I just got lucky. Its supposed to stay yellow or orange if its a girl and turn green or blue if its a boy. Good luck!

  40. QUESTION:
    gender predictor tests...did it work for you?
    So i did an old wives tale gender predictor test. I'm confused or maybe it is right. But from what i hear a circle means a boy and back and forth is a girl. But when i did mine i got a back and forth, then circle, then back and forth. This is my second pregnancy, and I am having a girl. I tried it on other women and for all of them who had a boy it was back and forth, and for a girl it went in a circle as well. I also did the chinese calender one and it came out a girl. Has anyone tried any gender tests and had them come out right. I know it's just for entertainment but i am just curious.

    P.S i did have an ultrasound so i know it's definetly a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese one was right for me. But as for the other old wives' tales, it was pretty much 50/50.

The only thing u have to make sure you do is put in your chinese age if your born after chinese new year you add 2 years and if its before you add 1 year but the website tells you that. In says it is 80 percent accuret but its really 75 percent ...but hey its more that 50 50 lol have fun :)

  43. QUESTION:
    question about baby gender test?
    i was in the store looking around and i saw this thang that you can do its like a pregnancy test but instead it indicates if you are having a boy or girl...i think its a baby gender predictor or test whatever. but i just wanna know has anyone ever done one and it work? or do they work?

    • ANSWER:
      They claim to be able to tell gender from the urine. There has been extensive research for many years and there is nothing in the urine which can predict with any certainty the gender of a baby. Otherwise they would use them in medical settings. But they don't.

      Surely it's going to "work" for some people, it has a 50/50 shot a being correct. I wouldn't waste my money.

  44. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Drano+Urine, the Ph+urine, or the Bleach+urine gender predictor tests?
    I am 17weeks +5days along, and I'm dying to know if I'm having a girl or boy. Ive read about many different (at home) gender predictors that some people swear by, so I thought Id try them out.
    I used first morning Urine with all of the tests, to make sure my diet wouldn'tt affect the results.
    First I tried the Bleach+urine test. You need a couple ounces of Urine in a cup, then you pour in a cap full of bleach. If it turns brown and foams up like 'Beer' = Boy If it hardly changes in colour, and only bubbles like 'Sprite' = Girl
    Next I tried the Ph+urine test. I used an aquarium Ph tester, and filled the test tube with urine. I put in three drops of the solution. If the result colour is Green = Boy If its yellow or orange = Girl
    I then tried the Drano+urine test, this you need to mix outside due to the fumes. I put two Tbsp of Crystal Drano in a glass jar, and mixed in a couple ounces of urine. After 10-15 seconds if the mixture turns brown = Boy If it hardly changes colour = Girl
    All of these test are only for Entertainment purposes, but I'm curious to see if they were accurate for me!
    I can tell you that my results for all of the tests were the same, a Girl! I go for my ultrasound in a few days, so hopefully I'll find out for sure what I'm having.
    Just wondering if anyone else has tried any of these tests?
    I was just reading the reply about the Chinese Gender chart. I tried this too, and it too came out as 'Girl'

    • ANSWER:
      I would be careful with what I expose my body and child too while pregnant. I am sure you will be able to find out though, you can usually tell by 17 weeks, and I found out I was having a boy at 16. Good luck and be careful!! Congratulations on the baby (girl?)

  45. QUESTION:
    How accurate was the chinese gender predictor for you?
    This is just a bit of fun, I'm not putting any faith in it whatsoever I'm just curious. Did you do the chinese gender prediction test and was it accurate for you?
    I'm 19w2d and mine said boy, I'll know for sure on 15th december =)
    Please no sarcasm I did say this is just for fun.

    • ANSWER:
      It has been accurate for all my friends but I of course had to defy the odds. It said girl and EVERYONE, including my husband also thought it was a girl. So, at the ultrasound when she checked and said "And there's the penis", my husband's jaw almost hit the floor. I had tried telling him that week it was a boy but he just would not listen - mommy is always right!!

Gender Pregnancy

Getting Pregnant With PCOS - Yes you can do it!
PCOS or as its also known, polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the leading causes of infertility in women of childbearing age around the world. Getting pregnant with PCOS is a nightmare as you never know whether you will ovulate this month or not. There is help out there though, and there are things that can be done to achieve getting pregnant with PCOS. Medical help will be available through your GP, or if you're willing to try something a little different, then there are alternative methods which claim to have great success.

PCOS basically means that you have a hormonal imbalance. This imbalance causes the ovaries to malfunction during the production of the the monthly egg. Although the egg may grow each month, it doesn't reach maturity and burst free from the ovary. It will remain on the ovary and become a cyst.

Medical treatment for getting pregnant with PCOS

If you're trying for pregnancy and have PCOS your GP may advise upon a course of Clomid or some similar medication to help you to ovulate. (Clomid or Clomiphene as it's sometimes known, is also used for women having IVF) Clomid will trick your body into making your hormone levels rise, this in turn should stimulate your ovaries into producing and releasing that all essential egg.

Some women describe the whole Clomid process as heart wrenching as there is no guarantee that it will work. Clomid can also come with side effects like mood swings, hot flashes, nausea, tiredness and weight gain.

Your doctor may also recommend a procedure called LOD (Laparoscopic Ovarian Diathermy) This is a treatment that uses a laser to burn the ovaries in the hope that this will repair and correct the hormone imbalance.

Alternative methods to achieve a PCOS pregnancy

There other methods available to work towards healing yourself from PCOS, or if not healing then at least achieving a pregnancy. Being overweight can drastically alter the chances of ovulating, so eating a sensible diet would be a good place to start. Many women swear by acupuncture to relieve PCOS, pregnancy follows. Others use holistic methods to achieve getting pregnant with PCOS.

Gender Predictor Pregnancy

Predicting Baby Gender - Gender Selection Techniques for Influencing Gender of Baby During Pregnancy In order to practice the gender selection techniques for predicting baby gender, the following concepts need to be understood to influence gender of baby during pregnancy:

Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes
Intercourse and Ovulation Timing
Ovulation Predictor Kits
Female Acidity and Diet
Female Orgasms
Sex Positions

Predicting Baby Gender - Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes

Between the male and female, it is the male who determines the gender of baby during pregnancy. The male sperm is made up of two chromosomes: X and Y. The X chromosomes produce girls and the Y chromosomes produce boys. The X chromosomes are larger, slower and live longer. The Y chromosomes are smaller, faster and die quicker.

Predicting Baby Gender - Intercourse and Ovulation Timing

Considering the information about the two chromosomes in male sperm, the timing of intercourse and ovulation become critical in predicting baby gender.

If you want a girlengage in intercourse two to three days before ovulation begins. Sperm lives up to five days in the female body. The extra days will give time for the female sperm to beat the male sperm and wait for the arrival of the egg. If you want a boyengage in intercourse one day before or the day of ovulation. As a result, the male sperm will reach the egg before the female sperm.

Predicting Baby Gender - Ovulation Predictor Kits

In order for predicting baby gender to be even possible, a woman must be ovulating to have a chance of getting pregnant. Purchasing an ovulation predictor kit is a great way to know if you are ovulating or not.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Acidity and Diet

The PH balance inside of females can dictate gender of baby during pregnancy. The more acidic the environment is, the more likely to conceive a girl. Conversely, the more alkaline the environment is, the more likely to conceive a boy. Therefore, the female diet can influence the PH balance and affect predicting baby gender. If a girl is desired, the woman should choose foods such as apples, broccoli and fish.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Orgasms

In conjunction with the PH balance is the opportunity for a woman to orgasm. Surprisingly, whether or not a woman has an orgasm during sexual intercourse can affect gender of baby during pregnancy. When a woman orgasms, the PH balance becomes more alkaline, which is conducive to a boy. Therefore, the woman should avoid having an orgasm altogether. Conversely, if a boy is desired, the woman should have an orgasm just before or at the same time as her male partner.

Predicting Baby Gender - Sex Positions

Believe it or not, the sexual position used during intercourse can influence gender of baby during pregnancy. If hopes are for a girl, focus on shallow penetration positions like the "missionary position". This position will deposit the sperm away from the cervix, therefore giving an advantage to the slower, longer living female sperm. Deep penetration positions, such as rear entry or "doggy-style", can result in a boy. Essentially, the sperm is delivered right to the doorstep of the cervix so the lazy male sperm has less of a distance to travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Gender Predictor- Did it work for you?
    The one I am talking about obviously doesn't predict what your having its just for fun. With almost everyone I have asked were rite I think only one person was wrong but they were born in the very end of a month so it could have be correct although some of the people i asked could have been wrong if they had there baby's before there due date.

    So its the one where you add the mothers age AT conception and the number of the month the baby was conceived. If it is odd= GIRL
    even= BOY if you aren't sure the month you conceived usually you would add 3 months to the due date to get it. For mine I was 19 at conception and the baby was conceived in February so month # 2 19+2=21 which predicts I am having a girl but I wont find out the truth until delivery because I don't know what i am going to have.

    • ANSWER:
      Conceived in November 24+11=35

      I guess it worked for me since I am having a girl!

  4. QUESTION:
    pregnancy gender predictors?
    do the online gender predictors work? or is all of it a hoax, im hopping for a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      well theyre honestly only 50/50 chance of being right, i think your instinct is the best judgement short of having a sexing scan, i just had this really strong feeling i was having a girl, and had 2 sexing scans and it is a girl, if you really want to know they are really worth having, plus you get even more pics if your lil angel and its only about £50 you can get one after 16 weeks xx

  5. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Gender Survey ? Are you Pregnant ? What is/was it?
    Im trying to do a project and see how accurate the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart is...
    What was the EXACT Date or month your child was Concieved ? (years not important)
    What age were you at the date of your conception ?
    Did you have or are you having a boy or girl !?

    Thanks so much !! More Answers the better, Ill post my results when done !

    • ANSWER:
      My first I was 22 years old when I conceived and conceived in July I had a Girl
      My second I was 24 years old when I conceived and conceived in March I had a Girl
      this pregnancy I was 25 years old when I conceived and conceived in November but was unable to find out at the scan the sex of the baby. The chinese gender chart has been right for me with my first two pregnancys but not sure about this one.

  6. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor. Was it right for you? (Just for fun) =]?

    • ANSWER:
      It was correct with my daughter & it says that I'm having another girl this time. We'll see.

  7. QUESTION:
    does anyone know anything about the home gender predictor kits?
    I think it's a fairly new thing. Its a pee test just like a home pregnancy test, except the colors are supposed to indicate the gender of your baby. I was just wondering if anyone knows the percentage of chances of the test being right or if anyone has used one?
    Thanks krude kitty, I figured as much.

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.intelligender.com/

      I think this is what your talking about? It apparently changes orange or green I think to indicate gender, you can use it from 10 weeks pregnant, it has a higher percentage than 50% but they do say it is just for fun, so don't go buying pink or blue!
      I wouldn't bother unless you are well off (money wise) it could be just a waste of money, good luck, congratulations & I hope you have a happy and very healthy 9 months ahead of you.

    I'm confused about the chinese gender predictor?
    I did this little gender predictor here: http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/genderpredictor/ and according to that I'm having a boy. But I'm confused. The gender of the baby comes from the dad (if he gives you an X or Y chromosome), right? So how is the mother's age and month of conception supposed to tell you what the baby is when it has nothing to do with it?? Yes I know that the gender predictor is just for fun, lol...

    I'm thinking about using it. Its supposedly 90% accurate in lab results but only 82% accurate in the "real world" results.
    I would really love to know what I'm having instead of waiting until my 20th week of pregnancy. It supposedly can be taken as early as 8 weeks gestation and I'm now 13 weeks. The price isn't too bad either!!!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't mind spending .+ on a novelty then get it. I ordered one yesterday. if you look at their "testimonials" you will see it's a pretty mixed bag. i think it will be fun, not reliable.

  14. QUESTION:
    did the chinese gender predictor work for you?
    did it work for all of your pregnancies? It tells me im going to have a girl *im hoping for a girl* and i went back to when i conceived my other children to check it out and it was right for my son but wrong for my daughter and it was right for my sister in law..i just wanna have some fun with it,what did it tell you? =)

    • ANSWER:
      Yes maam. Both of my living children it was right on with. I had a set of twins that died at birth, it said it was a girl, and ended up with a boy/girl so it was still 1/2 right.

      It says I'm girl bound this time too........... My son will never get to use the bathroom mirror again lol

    I was just wondering for who the chinese lunar calender worked and for who it didn't. We are TTC and according to the calendar if i conceive now thru november I'd have a boy. We'd be happy either way but are hoping for a girl. I tried the calendar for everybody i could think of and it was right. What are your experiences?
    Just wondering...
    Here's the calendar:
    http://www.holodeck.com/pregnancy/chinese-cal.html

    Thanx :o )
    Supposedly you have to check it with your chinese age (i think it's your age plus 1 year because they count your age from when you are in your mom's womb?!... something like that)
    So I am born in June 82 and I'm now 27 years old, but would be 28 in chinese age... It still would be a boy for me...

    • ANSWER:
      Well I conceived in July of 2008 and according to the calendar my daughter is supposed to be a boy.

  29. QUESTION:
    question about baby gender test?
    i was in the store looking around and i saw this thang that you can do its like a pregnancy test but instead it indicates if you are having a boy or girl...i think its a baby gender predictor or test whatever. but i just wanna know has anyone ever done one and it work? or do they work?

    • ANSWER:
      They claim to be able to tell gender from the urine. There has been extensive research for many years and there is nothing in the urine which can predict with any certainty the gender of a baby. Otherwise they would use them in medical settings. But they don't.

      Surely it's going to "work" for some people, it has a 50/50 shot a being correct. I wouldn't waste my money.

  32. QUESTION:
    has anyone here tried one of those gender predictors?
    they work just like pregnancy tests except predict your baby's gender, they retail for 30 dollars at walgreens...would it be a waste of money to buy one? has anyone else bought one and was the prediction right? i'm not poor but i'm also not the richest person and could put the 30 dollars towards something else for the baby if it's too far fetched

    • ANSWER:
      Don't waste your money dear. My friend just used one, it said boy, and her ultrasound a week later said girl. Not worth it, buy some diapers instead. :)

  33. QUESTION:
    gender prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      google chinese pregnancy calender and it should come up. My prediction was wrong it said a boy and im having a girl

  34. QUESTION:
    Help me predict the gender?
    I, of course, will be happy with either sex but I do have a certain gender in mind! I know exactly when I got pregnant as I know my body very well and we were only able to make love once during that cycle. I know that there is no "for sure" way to tell other than ultrasound but I would like to know the thoughts of others just for fun! I find out in 2 days depending on if the baby cooperates. Anyway, here is what happened:
    I have a 28 day cycle and my LMP was Jan 12th. We made love missionary position on Jan 21st and I had the most abundant cervical mucus I have ever seen! I had fertile cm the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th and it dried up on the 25th. I know for a fact that I ovulated on the 25th due to basal body temping, opk's and the drying up of the cervical mucus. Overall, I am very in-tune with my body. So, I made love 4-5 days before I ovulated. Now on to the pregnancy details- I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I had the worse morning sickness I have ever heard of! I was throwing up 7 to 10 times a day until the 12th week and lost 15 lbs. The sickness for the most part passed but I still throw up about once a week. I am just now starting to gain weight and starting to show just a little bit, I have to use a rubber band to get my pants to button. I hardly have any cravings but if I do, I guess they are all for sweet types of food. Truth is that I hardly feel pregnant and if it wasnt for getting to hear the heartbeat I would doubt it all together! Oh, and even at 7 weeks the heartbeat was really strong and according to the doc, it was fast! Well that pretty much sums it up:) Like I have stated, I know that none of the details really mean much of anything but I like to day dream! Additionally, the chinese gender predictor states my baby will be a girl but how accurate can that be? Please share with me what you think the gender may be!

    • ANSWER:
      I am a firm believer in the Shuttles Method for conceived a boy or girl. I already had a girl and used this method wanting a boy and it worked for me! Going by the information you gave me I firmly believe you are carrying a baby girl. Why? Here's why:

      When trying for a girl it is said to not have sex within 3 days of ovulation. You had sex 4-5 days before ovulation and this favors a girl dramatically because boy sperm die off quickly.. you had 4-5 days after having sex before you ovulated... girl sperm live a lot longer.. by the time the sperm reached the egg It is most likely that all the boy sperm had died leaving a girl sperm to penetrate the egg.

      So in all fun I to sum it up I really, really feel like your gonna have a baby girl. If the baby cooperates please let me know when you find out!! I'd love to know if the baby is a girl!! Congrats on the pregnancy!

  35. QUESTION:
    Did you find out the gender of your baby? ( B.Q., too! )?
    This is my first, and I really want to find out the gender as soon as possible!
    I'm more of a planner and control freak, so I like to know everything and have the nursery prepared and everything lol

    How about you guys? Do you want to find out, or did you already find out with your baby?

    I'm in a more complicated dilemma since my hubby wants it to a be a surprise; he says it'll give us something to anticipate for the pregnancy, which I agree, but then that means a three months' worth of yellow and green onesies ;)

    What would you do?

    B.Q. Does the Inteligender Gender Predictor work?? If you or someone you know has used it, can you tell me if it worked for them or not and if it was worth the price ( I heard they can be around or so )

    Thank you so much!

    --Kate

    • ANSWER:
      I am a planner too and want to know everything before I should know it. But to be perfectly honest, it's actually exciting and something to look foward to when you get to know at your 20 week ultrasound. Sure, you can get the gender predictor test but it isn't 100% and why do you need to know at 10 weeks anyways. I found that week 20 to week 30 were rather boring weeks. All that goes in is more movement, more growth, and the glucose test. Between the time you find out/have first dr. appointment (12 weeks) to about 20 weeks - there's a lot of stuff happening that is exciting. You are still on a high from being pregnant, you start to show, you start wearing maternity clothes, and you can do a little baby shopping. After 30 weeks, you'll nest and finish up getting what you need, have baby showers, pack your hospital bags, take birthing classes, etc. It's just an exciting time.
      Wait until 20 weeks to find out the gender - it's much more worth it AND exciting!!!!

  36. QUESTION:
    pregnancy body changes if i have a boy?
    well i might be pregnant and i did this online baby gender predictor that calculates by my birth day and month when i concieved and it said i would have a boy and if i do i want to know what my belly would look like because they say when you have a boy you get really big and i have a tall skinney frame....

    • ANSWER:

  37. QUESTION:
    Was gender prediction accurate for you?
    Ok so i am obsessed lol. I have an ultrasound in about a week to find out the sex of our third and final baby. We are really hoping for a boy this time as we have two little girls right now. So, I tried those gender prediction quizzes online because this pregnancy is so different then both my girls were. Every single one says 90% boy! I hate it because i dont want to get my hopes up and i know i should have just stayed away but curiousity killed the cat and its killing me too! lol. SO how many of you had the same kind of outcome on the gender predictors and it ended up being true?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a gender prediction kit you can buy at Wallgreens. It's kind of expensive though, but if it puts your mind at ease, why not. Hope it's a boy! I knew a couple that had five girls trying to have a boy! Good Luck!

  38. QUESTION:
    Did 'gender predictors' work for you? (Old wives tales, etc)?
    I'm just curious to know if anyone out there has tried the gender predictors and if the results just seem to be totally random...

    I'm 32 weeks with my first and we don't know what we're having. Friends and family mainly think that I'm having a girl, so I thought I would fool around and see what the online predictors say... I tried the three following sites and have listed their results.

    If you know what you're having (or already had a baby), did they ever work for you? Or if you haven't tried them, check these out and see what they say!

    http://www.babygenderpredictiontest.com/
    Said BOY
    http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/genderpredictor/default.asp
    Said GIRL
    http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html
    said GIRL

    • ANSWER:
      all the old wives tales said I was having a boy, but the chinese gender chart said a baby girl!

      I thought for sure I was having a boy but later found out that I have a beautiful daughter! :)

      I think a lot of it also has to do with what you think you are having. It is obviously going to change your answers and make you think harder in to how you answer the questions :)

  39. QUESTION:

    are the old wives tales true? im anxious to know what i am having?
    i am 15 weeks. i get to find out the gender at the end of april BUt am SO anxious ..... waiting sucks lol

    what symptoms did YOU experience during your pregnancy, and what did you have? did any of the wives tales hold true to what they say?

    was the chinese gender predictor right for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I have three girls and are 33 weeks pregnant with my fourth..I too found the old chinese gender prediction and read all the stats that it was thousands of years old and was 90+ right..it said This time I would have a Boy (which was our hope)..Guess what...Found out at our 20 week scan,,another Girl!!
      Which was later confirmed with our 3d scan too.
      Of course we're not disappointed..a healthy baby is enough for us but as someone who too loved taking all the fun prediction tests..im afraid until you get that scan confirmation...it's anybody's guess!!
      Good luck with your pregnancy! xx

      Good luck!!

  42. QUESTION:
    Chinese calendar, baby predictor - was it correct for you?
    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if any of you, whether pregnant or already mothers, ever looked at that Chinese gender prediction chart and if it was correct in predicting the gender of your pregnancies?

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!

      My husband and I are also planning to have a baby soon.
      I also have the same question. I know many people that say it has worked for them and others who say it didn't. But I heard the trick is that you must use your chinese age, which is 2 years old then your age.

      Best Wishes

  43. QUESTION:
    Could Old Wives Tales Be True?
    This might sound silly, but have you heard of the Old Wives Tale about the "Ring on the String Gender Predictor"? It is said that if you place the ring (held by a string) over a pregnant woman's hand or belly, and it moves in a circle, it's a girl. If it moves side to side, it's a boy. Well, after several negative pregnancy tests, and seeing periods (some irregular, some regular), I tried this just for laughs. Last month I tried it over my stomach, and my hand and nothing happened. Then I tried it over my boyfriend's stomach and back while he was sleeping. It was crazy! The ring started swinging from side to side (I was holding my hand very still)! A few days ago, I decided to try it on myself again with my hand very still. This time the ring started swinging very,very fast! I'm wondering could this be a pregnancy predictor as well? Or, just an "Old Wives Tale"?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you will find that the ring on the string thing as you put it, will also move on a plain surface such as a table or floor.....
      Yes it does move, sometimes circular, sometimes from side to side...
      Some people use this as a type of pendulum in conjunction with a home made Ouija board which in turn moves. In this scenario, you can actually feel the magnet force that moves the pendulum as you hold it above the letters..
      By this, I'm not telling you to go ahead and try this, especially if you don't know what you are doing as it is extremely dangerous for the inexperienced....but the fact is..it does work....take care.

  44. QUESTION:
    What are the strangest gender predictors and/or old wives tales you have ever heard?
    I am just curious. I am 15 weeks 3 days. My first pregnancy, everyone told me about all these different wives tales. I actually did a few of them HaHa
    First the heart rate thing: Anything over 140 it's a girl and below is a boy
    Second: Pee in Drano, if it turns brown means boy, green means girl
    Third: Pencil on a string; wedding band on a string

    Also I had a lot of heartburn but my baby wasn't born with a lot of hair. LOL I had a boy even though the heart rate was borderline and the drano did turn green.

    Got any more strange "old wives tales" you would like to share? Did anyone actually go as far as trying them? And were they correct? This is just for fun BTW!! :)

    Congrats on all those who are pregnant and baby dust to all that are TTC!! :)
    I am hoping for a girl!!!

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the drano test and it turned brown. YAY! We want a baby boy so bad. Oh and im carrying way out front.

      Ive heard that boys give beauty and girls take it away. If you think you look better now than you did before conception .. its a boy. If you feel like you look worse .. girl.

      My grandma says if you can tell your pregnant from the back its a girl. If you can look at the back of a pregnant woman and not know her condition until she turns around .. its a boy.

      Good luck! Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

  45. QUESTION:

Gender Predictor Pregnant

Predicting Baby Gender - Gender Selection Techniques for Influencing Gender of Baby During Pregnancy In order to practice the gender selection techniques for predicting baby gender, the following concepts need to be understood to influence gender of baby during pregnancy:

Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes
Intercourse and Ovulation Timing
Ovulation Predictor Kits
Female Acidity and Diet
Female Orgasms
Sex Positions

Predicting Baby Gender - Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes

Between the male and female, it is the male who determines the gender of baby during pregnancy. The male sperm is made up of two chromosomes: X and Y. The X chromosomes produce girls and the Y chromosomes produce boys. The X chromosomes are larger, slower and live longer. The Y chromosomes are smaller, faster and die quicker.

Predicting Baby Gender - Intercourse and Ovulation Timing

Considering the information about the two chromosomes in male sperm, the timing of intercourse and ovulation become critical in predicting baby gender.

If you want a girlengage in intercourse two to three days before ovulation begins. Sperm lives up to five days in the female body. The extra days will give time for the female sperm to beat the male sperm and wait for the arrival of the egg. If you want a boyengage in intercourse one day before or the day of ovulation. As a result, the male sperm will reach the egg before the female sperm.

Predicting Baby Gender - Ovulation Predictor Kits

In order for predicting baby gender to be even possible, a woman must be ovulating to have a chance of getting pregnant. Purchasing an ovulation predictor kit is a great way to know if you are ovulating or not.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Acidity and Diet

The PH balance inside of females can dictate gender of baby during pregnancy. The more acidic the environment is, the more likely to conceive a girl. Conversely, the more alkaline the environment is, the more likely to conceive a boy. Therefore, the female diet can influence the PH balance and affect predicting baby gender. If a girl is desired, the woman should choose foods such as apples, broccoli and fish.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Orgasms

In conjunction with the PH balance is the opportunity for a woman to orgasm. Surprisingly, whether or not a woman has an orgasm during sexual intercourse can affect gender of baby during pregnancy. When a woman orgasms, the PH balance becomes more alkaline, which is conducive to a boy. Therefore, the woman should avoid having an orgasm altogether. Conversely, if a boy is desired, the woman should have an orgasm just before or at the same time as her male partner.

Predicting Baby Gender - Sex Positions

Believe it or not, the sexual position used during intercourse can influence gender of baby during pregnancy. If hopes are for a girl, focus on shallow penetration positions like the "missionary position". This position will deposit the sperm away from the cervix, therefore giving an advantage to the slower, longer living female sperm. Deep penetration positions, such as rear entry or "doggy-style", can result in a boy. Essentially, the sperm is delivered right to the doorstep of the cervix so the lazy male sperm has less of a distance to travel.

  6. QUESTION:
    How does the baby gender predictor work?
    So i recently learned about the gender predictor method using a pencil needle and thread. If i am pregnant right now, but had an miscarriage before.. how would it work? Would it show me what i had first (miscarriage) Or would it show what im pregnant with now and then show what i was having before? I know this stuff isnt accurate but its fun to do! :)
    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      It is just for fun and is not accurate in the least bit so it wouldn't really be showing the gender of either but if your going to believe in that stuff I would assume the current babies gender since that's the one that's in your belly.

  7. QUESTION:
    has anyone used the Chinese gender predictor calender?
    I am trying to get pregnant and I want a girl. Has any one ever used the Chinese gender predictor calender if so did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      You have to follow it correctly. Go with your Chinese birthday year. If you where born before Chinese new year your age will be the same if you were born after Chinese new year add a year more to you age. Take your age and month of conception which it has to be two weeks after your first day of your last period. If your lmp was the 20th of June then your conception month is July...

      But it's only for entertainment. But I tried after I gave birth to my daughter. And tried it with my sisters and brothers it came out correct.

  8. QUESTION:
    have any of you used the gender predictor they sell at the drug store?
    i am 2 months pregnant with my 4th child and i am super anxiious to find out wheather im having a boy or a girl. I want to try the gender predictor but i wanted to find out if people actually had luck with it first. I'm pretty skeptical.

    • ANSWER:
      Those things are a ripoff, fake, fraud, waste of money.

      They are only 50/50 chance of being right which is the same as guessing.

  9. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Gender predictor chart really work?
    Im curious to know because my friend just got pregnant and cant wait to know the gender of her baby, but we are sceptical about it. So i wanted to know if anyone you know or if you have tried it and how accurate it worked for you. THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      With my first, it predicted a boy and it was right :)

      With my second, it predicted another boy - but I had a girl :)

      Its not accurate at all, its just a bit of fun. Its easy for people to say its accurate - because really, the chart has a 50% chance of being right which is quite a high chance.

      But definitely don't go rushing out for pink if it says girl, or blue if it says boy - wait for the scan :)

      I totally understand how she feels though! I did so many gender prediction tests online, and I literally couldn't sleep the night before my 20 week scan (both pregnancies) :)

      Edit: What about people who have twins, one boy and one girl - the chart must be completely wrong for them!

  10. QUESTION:
    What kind of gender predictor gender tests are out on the market right now?
    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

    • ANSWER:
      There are so many gender predictor tests out there I don't even know where to start, but I agree with the people above and recommend GenderMaker for you as well. Way easy to read and yeah it is pretty cheap. I'm not so lazy so I'll post a link for you.

  11. QUESTION:

    My friend took one of these from CVS for when she was 7 weeks pregnant and again when she was 12 weeks pregnant and both times it said her baby would be a boy, and it indeed was. She said a friend of hers did it and it was wrong. Have you guys taken one? How far along were you? Was it accurate?
    Thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah I had a gender prediction test that said I was going to have a boy. Well it was sure wrong im having a girl! Your baby can only be a boy or a girl so the gender prediction stuff has a 50% chance of being right. Hey you could ask me what you are having & I could tell you that you were having a girl. That's about how accurate those things are. I also knew someone that went online & both a gender predictor test for 0 said she was having a girl & she is having a boy now....All that stuff is so stupid.

    Chinese Gender Predictor?
    Has anyone found success with this? Just wondering about it's accuracy... it has been correct for all my friends and family, for reals! I am 33 weeks pregnant and want to know the gender... the baby was hiding during my 18 week ultrasound and so we couldn't tell the sex... and my doctor won't order another ultrasound because everything is proceeding as per normal (thank God). So, how many people consulted the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar, and how many of those found correct results? Just curious.... thanks for you help.
    Mine says a girl by age of conception (31 and conceived in October), but it says a boy by lunar age (age at conception plus two). Aaaaargh!

    • ANSWER:
      it was right for my mom and my aunts.
      i heard it works,
      Hopefuly it does if so im having a girl :]

  25. QUESTION:
    The chinese gender predictor is REAL!!?
    My four friends are pregnant and I was putting their dates on the chinese gender predictor and it guessed it RIGHT!! ALL OF THEM!!! I just found out I´m pregnant and it said I was having a BOY!!! Have you tried it and guessed it right???

    • ANSWER:

  26. QUESTION:
    pregnant??
    I just found out that I am expecting, Well my last period was 9/20. It was only for one day. That would make me 4 weeks, has anyone else found out this early by a hpt and confired by the doc? Also, has anyone done the gender predictor and it been correct?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, I found out within about 25 days from my last period and if you get a positive home test, a doctor can certainly confirm it by then, too. But, if your last period was only one day, you might consider the possibility that it wasn't a real period... there is a chance that you were pregnant before that last time you bled.

      Oh, and no gender predictors actually work. They are just myths. They are guaranteed right about 50% of the time - beyond that, it's just coincidence.

  27. QUESTION:
    ancient Chinese callender gender predictor?
    tell me what u think of this ...true or false? and if your pregnant and already know what your having could you please go to the link and see if the Chinese gender predictor was accurate on you? thank you for your time...have a good day!!!

    http://www.fortunebaby.com/chinesegenderpredictionchart.html

    • ANSWER:
      Its not accurate. Any gender predictor will be around 50% right, so many of the people you talk to will say it works. You could guess yourself on a hunch what you're having, and it would be as accurate as any type of calendar or anything. Its all just chance.

  28. QUESTION:
    Can anyone recommend a good baby gender prediction test for me?
    I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I have too many weeks to go until my ultrasound appointment to find out the sex of my baby. Can anyone recommend a gender predictor test? I have heard a few in passing, but do not know what is best.

    • ANSWER:
      Congrats on your soon to be bundle of joy! If only it was possible to know the sex of your baby right away, and although there are lots of tests that give you answers, they are not 100% accurate. If I had to pick one, the one that comes to mind is GenderMaker. I have heard about it a few times and it has been good things. Just don't rely on those tests too much. They should only be taken for fun.

  30. QUESTION:
    CRYSTAL DRANO GENDER PREDICTOR?
    I am 18 weeks pregnant and have tried a crystal drano to predict the gender of my unborn baby. My urine changed into dark bown. Does it mean I am having a boy? By my doctor told me at 13 weeks that my baby looks like a girl. I am very confused!

    • ANSWER:
      This is a total old wives tale, and cannot be relied on. it is also dangerous, due to the fumes and the chance of spilling that on your skin. You cannot tell gender at a 13 week ultrasound, but you can tell at 18 weeks. Go get an ultrasound to tell for sure.

  31. QUESTION:
    does that gender predictor thing really work?
    okayyy so im pregnant with my first and suppper happpy!

    im 14 weeks and 4 days and even though we dont know the sex yet we wanna see if we can find out sooner even just for fun to get ready.

    thanks!

    ps. I ordered one, ok I ordered 2! lol so I will keep you informed on if it was right or not!

    • ANSWER:
      They have a 50/50 chance of being right. There is no way to tell the gender of your child through your urine. They are a waste of money. I personally never bought one, but a lot of people in my birth club did and about half were wrong.

      Try the draino test....much cheaper. You can look it up online, but you do a 50/50 mixture of draino crystals and urine. Depending on the reaction it tells you boy or girl.

    • ANSWER:
      I have blogged about Intelligender and my dealings with the company when they will not answer any questions about the test. They will also not tell you about their so called research. They are many old wives' tales out there for gender prediction and one of them is the "Drano" test which I believe is what Intelligender is using.

    urine gender predictor?
    i am about 11 weeks pregnant and last night someone told me about a gender test that you can take starting at 10 weeks. they said you can buy it at walgreens and its a urine test that turns colors (pink or blue) and is supposed to be 99.9 % accurate. has anyone heard/taken one of these tests? i was told it costs 30 dollars so i am trying to see if others have had success before i waste my money.

    • ANSWER:
      There is no way that a test can tell you if you are having a boy or girl. Just another scam to make money. Besides as 16 weeks your doctor can do an ultrasound and tell you for sure!

    Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar???
    I don't trust it's results, but I need to admit it is fun when you are pregnant and you are courious about the gender of your baby and you play around trying to guess what you are having, what it bothers me about those calendars is that one tells you one sex and another calendar tells you the opossite, Like I said brfore I don't trust its results, but if they are all Chinese Calendar, shouldn't all of them come up with the same result, if they are based on the same criteria to determine the sex of your baby? I was just wondering.

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the same thing and it always told me I was having a boy. I even found one that would predict the gender based on the day of delivery. Hello, by the time you deliver most people have had an ultrasound to determine the gender. But mine always said boy and I have the most beautiful baby girl so you can't always trust them.

  42. QUESTION:
    was your intuition about the gender correct?
    I have a strong feeling it's a girl. I also "knew" before I took a test that I was pregnant. So I guess we'll see if my intuition is right again...

    also, did you try any old wives tales like the needle and string?

    or the chinese gender predictor?

    • ANSWER:
      myself I used the needle on a string over the belly..it worked everytime...

      infact with my thrid said it was a girl by ultrasound and the thread and needle said boy...i trusted my needle..and surprise it was a boy..later indicated on the ultrasound

  44. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the Intelligender Baby Gender predictor kit?
    If so, were the results accurate?

    If not, and you are currently pregnant, is this something you would consider trying?

    http://www.intelligender.com/index.htm

    My 3D/4D ultrasound is tomorrow, so I hoping my baby will not be too shy, but I am thinking about this test as a backup. I am very anxious to know what I am having.
    I had my ultrasound and the sonographer was 100% positive it is a boy! I don't have a trained eye, but there was no denying it, so no gender test for me. Thanks again to all who answered.

    • ANSWER:
      I have not used it but i wanted to until I found out that it isnt really over 90% it is more like 50% and I can do that. A part of me still really wants to try it but I want more people to say if it worked or not. It is driving me crazy not knowing. What did your ultrasound say?

Gender Predictor Quiz

The Indispensable Took For The Medical Field: A Baby Ultrasound
To track the progress of an unborn child, doctor's have utilized a baby ultrasound for photographic documentation which they use for analysis. From simple tasks like detecting the sex of the fetus to identifying medical risks or anatomical abnormalities, an ultrasound machine is an indispensable tool for this field. It works by using high frequency sound waves which a human is unable to hear by a mechanism called the transducer and this provides an image of the stomach and it's contents. The image you see is actually just the collection of echos. Not only can the doctor view the baby but it can also see the amniotic sac, ovaries and placenta.

When images of these areas are needed most baby ultrasound machines require a gel like substance to be rubbed on the abdomen. This is the medium that helps give a clearer picture of what's inside and allows the mechanism to smoothly glide across the stomach and collect echos.
A baby ultrasound is used for all women that have entered the 20 week gestation phase. This is to check on the status of the baby. They can tell if the baby is growing at an average rate and if the placenta is in the right condition. This is often the first time the parents might be able to find out the gender of their unborn child. The first ultrasound is usually the most exciting.

The photos that are taken are used for two reason. The doctors can take the photos and give them an in depth look for an possible or foreseeable problems they see. The photo also provides as the baby's first photo and a keepsake for the families to take home while they wait for their baby's arrival.

There are no harmful side effects from using a baby ultrasound and there is little you have to do to prepare for your ultrasound. The requests that women often receive from their doctors is to drink plenty of water prior to the examination so the bladder is full. This provides a clearer picture.

The baby ultrasound was released into this field in the last 1950s and has become an innovative tool for monitoring the fetus and the health of the mother during gestation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    13 weeks and took intelligender?
    I was wondering if any of you took intelligender and what results did you get...Did it guess right for you....I took one this morning and got girl results...I do have a feeling it might be a girl...What you guys think...I also took so many gender predictor quiz and got on every single thing girl....Am i really gonna have a girl or is this all bunch bs.....I also have in 2 months ultrasound to see what it is...cant wait

    • ANSWER:
      Those tests are just for fun. Every test I've taken online tells me girl also, but I have 3 boys so I don't really believe it. You won't know anything for sure until you push out that babby, because even an ultrasound can be wrong.

  2. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction chart?
    I am trying to use this Chinese gender prediction chart. Yes I know it's a little silly but a lot of people say it worked for them. But some websites and people are saying you have to add on one year to your actual age for it to get your Chinese age- so that the chart will work correctly. When I use my normal age it says I'm having a boy. When I add one year it says I'm having a girl. When I do gender quiz'z (where you type in your date of birth and the Chinese predictor works it out for you) it says girl... I am confused lol

    • ANSWER:
      me and my friend used one where you enter your year of birth and it works it out for you and i was 24 when i got preg and it said my conception age was 25 but give it a go you dont have to worry about adding years! oh they were both right!

Gender Predictor Chinese Lunar Calendar

Moon Calendar: Lunar Phases One of the most widely used moon calendar is the Islamic calendar or also known as the Hijri calendar. The calendar consists of 12 months, based on the typical system of the lunar year. The Islamic calendar structure has one schematic theory that is the calendar is not connected to the seasons thus separating every solar year of about 11 to 12 days. Upon the drift, the calendar will return to its position it once held during the solar year specifically every 33 recorded years of the Islamic time. This Hijri calendar was predominantly used during the ancient years for religious reasons. Due to the vast modernization and great influence of other religious calendars, it is now only a reference for Islamic followers. Apart from the Hijri calendar, the moon calendar of other types is categorized as the lunisolar calendars. Lunisolar implies that the months are arranged systematically on a lunar rotation but the intercalary months are included into the cycle to bring them lunar arrangement into harmonization with the solar year. As there are roughly 12 synodic months or also referred to as lunations within one solar year, the interval of 354.37 days is often labeled as the lunatic year. Examples of the lunisolar calendars are the Hebrew, Chinese, Hindu and other relic ones used during the ancient times. These calendars have uneven number of months within a year considering a year cannot be perfectly divisible by an exact figure hence the seasons would eventually drift year by year. There are also moon calendar that are regulated by the yearly natural occurrences. The events are affected by the lunar rotations and the solar cycle. One obvious example is the Banks Islands calendar that includes three months during the course when palolo worms mass on the beaches. Due to the fact that the palolos' reproductive cycles are synchronized with the moon, these events often take place during the final period of the lunar month. In respect to every different type of calendars, they do differ in the first day of the month. For instance, the Chinese calendar fixes the day when the astronomical new moon appears to be the first day of the month. The length of the month also varies, to the extent that some religions conduct observations to fix the date.

    • ANSWER:
      I am 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant, due nov. 8 and am very sceptical about predicting the gender of a baby without the aid of an ultrasound technician, but honestly I have tried the lunar predictor and it said i was having a girl and sure enough i will be having another little girl in my house hold. A couple friends of mine are due within weeks of me and all are having girls, and we are all the same age pretty much just months apart. I will tell you its pretty accurate but i would still trust the ultrasound before i start to set up for a boy or girl. Congratulations, Good Luck to you and your wife and your soon to be new baby. Hope this helps some. These sites have some more wife'stales and comments from others who are preparing for a new baby, hope the help.

Gender Predictor Gender Predictor

New Technologies: Baby Gender Predictors Of Modern Time
It is natural for expectant parents to get curious about their baby's gender. Long ago, choosing baby gender was high impossible. It was so impossible that parents who wanted to influence their baby's gender had to do crazy things such as tying the left testicle in the hope of producing sons. Parents had to settle for baby gender predictors or wait tediously until the official ultrasound results arrive and then that's the only time they can start buying pillows or pink mittens and the like. To date; however, technology finally makes it possible for parents to choose baby gender. Choosing baby gender was made possible when the first test-tube baby was born in 1978. Below are some modern ways which you may consider in choosing baby gender.

Selective abortion Selective abortion is said to be one of the crudest way to choose baby sex. In this case, the mother takes an amniocentesis, which is an early-pregnancy examination which screens genetic diseases. The process can also determine the gender of the fetus. If the sex is not what the parents aspire for, the mother aborts the pregnancy. This technique is clearly not supported by Christian countries.

Method by Ericsson Another method which is now available to moms is that which was developed in the 1970s by Ronald Ericsson, PHD a geneticist. Like the other methods, this technique had its share of drawbacks as well as ethical considerations. The method revolves around the idea that X chromosomes (female) are larger and denser than Y chromosomes (male). The fast swimming male sperms are separeted from the slow swimming female sperms through a human serum which serves as a filter. Given this, pregnant women are inseminated with a higher number of sperm in favor of the couple's desired gender. This process is relatively affordable and was not proven to be medically invasive; however, it is said to fail in three out of ten cases.

Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) This technique is said to be more successful as compared to the one proposed by Ericsson. This method was originally developed to screen for sex-linked genetic diseases. This includes muscular dystrophy and hemophilia which disproportionately affects boys. The pre-implantation method can be done through vitro fertilization the process wherein the woman's eggs are removed from her ovaries and fertilized with her partner''s sperm through surgery. In the IVF procedure, the fertilized embryos are brought back to the uterus of the women but with PGD, one or two cells are taken from each embryo. The doctors analyze these cells and then they detect the sex of your baby. The process is said to be almost 100 percent accurate. The preferred embryos are then used in he IVF process and those which are not chosen are either donated to research institutions or to other couples.

MicroSort - This is said to be one of the most promising techniques to tell baby gender. The sperm is stained using a special dye and is run through a machine which distinguishes female DNA from male DNA in the sperm and sorts out the favored gender. After, the women is inseminated with the sperm which carries the chromosomes of her choice. This technique has been in clinical trials since 1993. It was first made available to couples who have a history of sex-linked diseases. It quickly expanded and was made accessible to people who wanted to choose their baby's gender.

Choosing baby gender is now right in your fingertips. Before finally taking any of these methods, make sure that they do not go against any religious or social beliefs and ethics.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Gender predictor?
    Ok I would really like a girl this time and have took one of them gender tests things on a few differnt web sites.

    I know I am sad but also talked to a few differnt physics whp said I am having a boy but these web sites say it's a girl. i hear people rave about the chinese gender predictor and is nealy always right.

    I know I sound really stupid but im just trying every thing to find out early lol

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese gender predictor said I'm having a boy.

      Went to the doctor on Friday and found out I'm having a boy!

      Yay!!

  2. QUESTION:
    Gender Predictor?
    Ok, if I am 34 yrs.old now -34 day of conception and my B-DAY is in October, do I put 35 yrs.old at age of conception on the chinese gender predictor? It states in a paragraph you add a year if ????????????? I conceived in Feb.

    • ANSWER:
      For some of them you're supposed to put how old you will be when you give birth and the month you conceived in. For Example : I was 18 at the time I conceived- I conceived in January and my birthday isn't until December,so i'll still be 18 when I give birth in October. So i'd put my age as 18 and January as the month I conceived in-it says i'm supposed to have a girl so we'll see how accurate it is,lol! I'll find out May 13th..I hope it is right,though!
      Hope this makes sense!

  4. QUESTION:
    What kind of gender predictor gender tests are out on the market right now?
    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

    • ANSWER:
      There are so many gender predictor tests out there I don't even know where to start, but I agree with the people above and recommend GenderMaker for you as well. Way easy to read and yeah it is pretty cheap. I'm not so lazy so I'll post a link for you.

  5. QUESTION:
    Anyone else find that the gender varies using Chinese Gender Predictor depending on which website you go on?
    I know it's all in fun but when I try to use the Chinese Gender Predictor, some say girl and some say boy depending on which website I go on.

    I was 33 when we conceived in December 2007. What do you think the gender will be? Any more reliable links would be useful. I know its not accurate but I thought it would be fun to find out before the ultrasound and see if it is correct.

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      It's because some sites use your age at conception and some use your lunar age at conception (it adds two years). The chart is the same but the different age makes a difference.

      Using my actual age, gender is wrong.
      Using my lunar age, the gender is right.

  6. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  7. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese gender predictor really work?
    I recently checked out a website that I was referred to on this site, and I came across a chinese gender predictor chart. I am just curious whether or not this chart is widely accepted in the world as accurate? I know that it can't be 100% sure but does anybody have an idea of how accurate this tool can be?

    • ANSWER:
      This chart works 50% of the time, and that's about as good as it will get. China actually has laws that prevent people from having more than one child, and most families prefer to have a boy. With that being said, China has more homeless girls than boys and if the Chinese gender predictor chart actually worked, then this issue with so many homeless girls would not be as much of a disaster in China as it is right now. It's nice to believe that you can predict gender based on a date or something like that but this is false. If you want a real prediction you have to get an ultrasound or take matters into your own hands. Technology is getting better every year and you'd be surprised to find out that people can now determine whether they are having a boy or girl on their own. It's probably expensive though.

  8. QUESTION:
    Have you taken a gender predictor test or used the Chinese calender?
    The Chinese calender says it's a girl, the gender predictor urine test claims a boy. I'm so anxious and my 2nd tri ultrasound isn't until 2 weeks. If you hve taken these tests, how was the accuracy for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I used both and both were wrong.

  9. QUESTION:
    Are Gendermaker gender predictor tests easy to use?
    I want to try a gender predictor test, and have heard from friends that they are all complicated to use and it is hard to read the results on most of them. I just want to know if it is the same with Gendermaker, because I have heard some good reviews about it. Is it easy or complicated to take and read?

    • ANSWER:
      I ordered three for myself last week just to make sure the results were consistent. I'm only 9 weeks prego so I still have some time before ultrasound confirmation but according to the gender predictor test I am going to have a girl!

      So, the test is super easy. You need to use your 1st morning urine for the test and after you collect it you have to let it sit for about 2 or 3 minutes. You then use the dropper that they give you with the test to get the correct amount of urine and you take that and put it in the sample window of the test. You get a color chart with the test but it is supposed to turn pink for girl and blue for boy. Mine was pink/magenta colored which is close enough and I didn't really have much problem reading results. You actually get the color change really fast...in about 15 seconds. It is kind of like a pregnancy test in a way, but you don't have that agonizing few minutes that you wait for your results.

  10. QUESTION:
    does the gender predictor they sell at the pharmacy really work?
    someone told me that at walgreens they sell a gender predictor that is 90% accurate, has anyone here have tried it? and if so, were the results correct or is just a flop?
    thanks in advance

    • ANSWER:
      It's only for fun. I never did it because I figured I didn't want to pay for it - if urine could really predict the sex of the baby, then why didn't doctors use it? I just waited for the ultrasound. I got the results from the ultrasound (a boy) and a friend bought me that thing. She pressured me into taking it for fun and it told me I was having a girl. When baby was born, he was a boy. 0% accurate for me.

  11. QUESTION:
    How accuratre was the chinese calendar baby gender predictor for you?
    Hi I'm 10wks pregnant and I went to the chinese calendar baby gender predictor to see if I was having a boy or a girl according to the calendar it say's I'm having a boy, I already have three girls so I really can't believe that I want to know if anyone had an accurate answer and actually had what the chinese calendar said? I'm not a big believer in that stuff but I heard it's pretty accurate please respond!

    • ANSWER:
      It said im having a girl and I did. I hope your having a boy!

  12. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever used a chinese gender predictor and it come out correct?
    im expecting and i look at the chinese gender predictor. has anyone used one and it came out correct?

    • ANSWER:
      Statistically, it would be correct 50 % of the time.

  13. QUESTION:
    How does the baby gender predictor work?
    So i recently learned about the gender predictor method using a pencil needle and thread. If i am pregnant right now, but had an miscarriage before.. how would it work? Would it show me what i had first (miscarriage) Or would it show what im pregnant with now and then show what i was having before? I know this stuff isnt accurate but its fun to do! :)
    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      It is just for fun and is not accurate in the least bit so it wouldn't really be showing the gender of either but if your going to believe in that stuff I would assume the current babies gender since that's the one that's in your belly.

  14. QUESTION:
    Ladies has anyone ever used the IntelliGender baby gender predictor? Was it accurate?
    Can u share personal experiences with me on whether u used a predictor or had a doctor accurately tell u the gender of your baby? How far along were you at time of prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I used this for my second pregnancy, it was a baby shower gift but put it in a cupboard and didn't find it until I was 30+ weeks, by which time I knew already I was having a girl, I did the test anyway for fun, and it did come up girl, how accurate it is I don't know as it has a 50/50 chance of being right. But still was cute although perhaps a bit gimicky.

  15. QUESTION:
    Does that chinese lunar calendar, baby gender predictor work?

  18. QUESTION:
    how reliable is the chinese gender predictor?
    We were told at my 20 week scan that we are having a girl (the sonographer said she was 99% certain its a girl) but the chinese gender predictor says we are having a boy!
    Just wondered what everyones thoughts were on it and how reliable people think it is?

    • ANSWER:
      It's about 50/50... lol.
      It was wrong with my first, right with my second and says we're having a boy this time... We didn't know with any of them what we were having.

  19. QUESTION:
    has anyone used the Chinese gender predictor calender?
    I am trying to get pregnant and I want a girl. Has any one ever used the Chinese gender predictor calender if so did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      You have to follow it correctly. Go with your Chinese birthday year. If you where born before Chinese new year your age will be the same if you were born after Chinese new year add a year more to you age. Take your age and month of conception which it has to be two weeks after your first day of your last period. If your lmp was the 20th of June then your conception month is July...

      But it's only for entertainment. But I tried after I gave birth to my daughter. And tried it with my sisters and brothers it came out correct.

    • ANSWER:
      Those things are a ripoff, fake, fraud, waste of money.

      They are only 50/50 chance of being right which is the same as guessing.

    worried about the chinese gender predictor?
    me and my boyfriend are ttc child number two. i checked the chinese gender predictor and it says if i have sex this month it will be a girl. and we are trying to have a girl since we already have a boy. but according to the calender it says if i want a girl and dont concieve in january i will have to wait till april to concieve a girl! this predictor was right with my son and claims to be 93 percent accurate so im worried. should i believe the gender predictor or no?

    The chinese gender predictor says I am having a boy but I want a girl, has it ever been wrong?
    My friend just introduced me to the Chinese gender predictor web site and it says I am having a boy but I very much want a girl. I want to know if the Chinese gender predictor has ever been wrong before because my friend says it has never been wrong for any of her 4 kids! Please let me know! Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      they are mostly wrong, You shouldnt depend on a chinese predictor to tell you what sex you will have.
      the only thing thats close to telling you the sex of your baby is a ultrasound and even sometimes they are wrong.
      And sorry to say but most of the time you get the opposite of what you want.
      Try not to think about what sex you want, try think about all the positives of each sex so your not disappointed if you dont get what you want and be happy with a healthy baby no matter what sex.
      I was in the same situation when i was pregnant with my 2nd. I already have a 3 yr old boy and he wasnt planned but when i started planning for my second of course i wanted a girl to complete my family. I think a stressed way too much about how to have a girl, checking the internet for stupid little things to do or eat to increase my chances. it was so silly because its all bull. i lost my baby at 8 weeks so im not sure what sex it was but i think the stress didnt help.
      Seriously try not to stress, just think about all the good things with both sex
      good luck

  26. QUESTION:
    How accurate was the chinese gender predictor for you?
    This is just a bit of fun, I'm not putting any faith in it whatsoever I'm just curious. Did you do the chinese gender prediction test and was it accurate for you?
    I'm 19w2d and mine said boy, I'll know for sure on 15th december =)
    Please no sarcasm I did say this is just for fun.

    • ANSWER:
      It has been accurate for all my friends but I of course had to defy the odds. It said girl and EVERYONE, including my husband also thought it was a girl. So, at the ultrasound when she checked and said "And there's the penis", my husband's jaw almost hit the floor. I had tried telling him that week it was a boy but he just would not listen - mommy is always right!!

  27. QUESTION:
    Who has heard of GenderMaker gender predictor test to determine if you will have a boy or girl?
    I'm thinking of buying GenderMaker gender test for my friend as part of her present for an early baby shower , but I don't know. Maybe I should just buy a neutral gender one piece suit. Thoughts?? I am single, no kids, so I really don't know what would be a good present for my friend for this occasion.

    • ANSWER:
      That is such a great idea! I am definitely keeping that in mind for the next present I have to come up with for any of my friends. I swear they are all getting pregnant one after another. I guess that's how you know Spring is here! haha. I think getting GenderMaker gender prediction test for your friend is a great idea. I have heard great things about it. You can't go wrong with this present unless your friend has already found out the gender of the baby.

  28. QUESTION:
    Did anyone try Fortunebaby gender predictor?
    I wanted to try fortune baby gender predictor. I am 10 weeks pregnant, and can't wait to know the gender of the baby. They have very good reviews. I was wondeing if any of you tried it and was it accurate?

    • ANSWER:

  29. QUESTION:
    Have you ever used the chinese lunar calendar gender predictor and got a false result?

    • ANSWER:
      Everyone i know whos used (incl. me) its been right for. But who knows. There is this thing called the intelligender test, i heard its really really accurate

  30. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl?? Trying to find out how accurate the Chinese Gender Predictor is always right?
    Ok, so i have looked at the chinese gender predictor and it says boy. Has anyone had the predictor say one thing and have the opposite? I really want a girl, I already have a son, so i was just wondering if this was always right.lol...

    • ANSWER:
      it was wrong for me lol it told me boy and i'm having a baby girl

  31. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Gender predictor chart really work?
    Im curious to know because my friend just got pregnant and cant wait to know the gender of her baby, but we are sceptical about it. So i wanted to know if anyone you know or if you have tried it and how accurate it worked for you. THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      With my first, it predicted a boy and it was right :)

      With my second, it predicted another boy - but I had a girl :)

      Its not accurate at all, its just a bit of fun. Its easy for people to say its accurate - because really, the chart has a 50% chance of being right which is quite a high chance.

      But definitely don't go rushing out for pink if it says girl, or blue if it says boy - wait for the scan :)

      I totally understand how she feels though! I did so many gender prediction tests online, and I literally couldn't sleep the night before my 20 week scan (both pregnancies) :)

      Edit: What about people who have twins, one boy and one girl - the chart must be completely wrong for them!

  32. QUESTION:
    I need help about a gender predictor test?
    I purchased a gender predictor test and was wondering if it has to be your first morning urine? This is my first time using this? i purchased it from gendermaker.com. Did anyone ever take this and was it accurate and did it have to be first morning urine? Thanks everyone.

    • ANSWER:
      FMU read the directions

      I took 2 of them - first one said it was a boy the second one said it was a girl - the kicker? I wasn't ever pregnant

      **Edit: I withheld the fact that your urine cannot determine gender

      Long story as to WHY I took them but yeah they're def. just for entertainment purposes only

  33. QUESTION:
    How accurate was the chinese baby gender predictor chart for you?
    My friend swears it has worked for everyone she knows. Was it accurate in predicting the gender for your little one?

  34. QUESTION:
    i want to conceive a girl next month in october. a friend told me about the chinese lunar gender predictor. ?
    i did it and it says i;m having a girl. what do you guys think about the chinese lunar gender predictor. is it true or false.

    • ANSWER:
      all i can suggest is choosing your time to have intercourse depending on your menstrual cycle......apparently the timing of sex can help choose the gender of the baby. Boy sperm is faster at swimming although isn't as strong so dies quicker but reaches further up the fallopian tube than female sperm so if you were trying for a boy then try intercourse day of ovulation......if you are trying for girl, well female sperm swims slower but lives longer so have sex 2-3 days before ovulation then have none after this time. This of course is to try and time the point where the sperm and egg meet. But personally if you want my advice, just be happy as long as you have a healthy baby, regardless of sex. I'm 12 weeks and just had scan a few days ago and assuming everything would be fine as i have 2 kids already, we were shocked to learn tht the baby has swelling on the brain and because there is so much, i have 50 50 chance of a downs sydrome baby. Just hope and pray for a healthy baby rather then the sex, and if it is a girl then treat it s a bonus. Hope this helps and good luck xx

  35. QUESTION:
    have you tried the gender predictor test at CVS?
    i just read on ParentsConnect there is a gender predictor text at CVS that tests for testosterone to see if you're having a girl or boy. have any of you tried that? was it right if you did try it? how about the gender predictor online here have you tried that and was it right?

    • ANSWER:
      I bought the intelligender at CVS for 30 bucks and took it at 10-11 weeks and it told me I was having a boy.

      I have actually had several ultrasounds since then and had 2 different sources tell me It's a Girl. Fun test but I don't believe it's reliable.

      After I bought the test I read somewhere that theres no way to pick up the baby sex just by testing your urine. Idk if thats true or not but its definitely something to think about.

  36. QUESTION:
    does anyone know anything about the home gender predictor kits?
    I think it's a fairly new thing. Its a pee test just like a home pregnancy test, except the colors are supposed to indicate the gender of your baby. I was just wondering if anyone knows the percentage of chances of the test being right or if anyone has used one?
    Thanks krude kitty, I figured as much.

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.intelligender.com/

      I think this is what your talking about? It apparently changes orange or green I think to indicate gender, you can use it from 10 weeks pregnant, it has a higher percentage than 50% but they do say it is just for fun, so don't go buying pink or blue!
      I wouldn't bother unless you are well off (money wise) it could be just a waste of money, good luck, congratulations & I hope you have a happy and very healthy 9 months ahead of you.

  37. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Gender Predictor...?
    Hi there, I was just wondering how accurate the Chinese baby gender predictor was?

    Have any of you had experience with it, or know someone who has - and was it right or wrong?!

    I'm very interested in this sort of thing!! Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      In Aug. 2006 I had a MC, and the following year we wanted another baby. So I found the Chinese predictor and it said if we conceived in April it would be a boy, we already have a daughter.

      In Aug. 2007 we went for the 20 week ultrasound and it was a BOY. There were 9 babies born into our family last year and every single one was right.

      It really didn't matter what sex the baby was just as long he or she came out healthy :)

      It was right on for me and my sis in law. You just have to make sure you use your chinese age. It's different than the age you consider yourself. A good website will have an age converter.

  39. QUESTION:

Gender Predictor

Easy Three Step Technique Successfully Predicts Gender of Baby
Just last week my friend Karen told me that she had successfully chose the gender of her baby. This surprised me, because Karen is still pregnant! I thought she was joking at first, but she was serious. She had used an easy three-step system to choose the gender of her baby during her pregnancy. I thought it was too good to be true so I decided to start doing some research. It turns out the company that created this system has helped over 10,000 women choose the gender of their baby so far.

Why would you want to do this? See, many pregnant women are put under extreme tension and stress during pregnancy. The variations in hormone and neurotransmitter profiles cause an influx of stress hormones, causing a constant, gnawing tension. This can be worsened by external stresses and pressures, such as having to choose a name for a baby. You see, most families already know what they want to name their child... the only problem is they have to choose a boy name and a girl name because they don't know what gender the baby will be! These types of decisions are almost impossible if you don't know the gender.

Mothers-to-be who have used this system attest to the fact that it took off almost all of the pressure, and made it easy for them and their husband to decide on a name. According to one, Tracy from New Jersey: "Once I knew that I was going to have a girl, all kinds of beautiful, perfect baby girl names just kept moving through my mind. We decided on Kimberly's name after only four days. Picking my baby's gender was almost like a miracle!". It seems Tracy's testimony is not uncommon with this new gender predictor system; maternity forums are overflowing with rave reviews about this product. I really would not be surprised if Oprah was the next person to endorse it. The reason it is such a breakthrough can also be attributed to two other factors: it's 100% natural and has a 95% success rate. I was absolutely flabbergasted that a natural technique like this could work so much of the time. But I guess the proof is in the pudding.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Gender predictor?
    Ok I would really like a girl this time and have took one of them gender tests things on a few differnt web sites.

    I know I am sad but also talked to a few differnt physics whp said I am having a boy but these web sites say it's a girl. i hear people rave about the chinese gender predictor and is nealy always right.

    Has any one eles done one of these and got negative results. Or is it just me wishful thinking.
    I know I sound really stupid but im just trying every thing to find out early lol

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese gender predictor said I'm having a boy.

      Went to the doctor on Friday and found out I'm having a boy!

      Yay!!

  2. QUESTION:
    Gender Predictor?
    Ok, if I am 34 yrs.old now -34 day of conception and my B-DAY is in October, do I put 35 yrs.old at age of conception on the chinese gender predictor? It states in a paragraph you add a year if ????????????? I conceived in Feb.

    • ANSWER:
      For some of them you're supposed to put how old you will be when you give birth and the month you conceived in. For Example : I was 18 at the time I conceived- I conceived in January and my birthday isn't until December,so i'll still be 18 when I give birth in October. So i'd put my age as 18 and January as the month I conceived in-it says i'm supposed to have a girl so we'll see how accurate it is,lol! I'll find out May 13th..I hope it is right,though!
      Hope this makes sense!

  3. QUESTION:

    ok so you know those chinese gender predictor for your baby that goes by your age and the month you concieved? well all the ones i found start off at the age 18... can anyone find me one that has the age 16 on it please?

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.justparents.co.uk/pregnancy/tools/gender-predictor.html

      this will let you choose your age and it does go to 16

  4. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  5. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese gender predictor really work?
    I recently checked out a website that I was referred to on this site, and I came across a chinese gender predictor chart. I am just curious whether or not this chart is widely accepted in the world as accurate? I know that it can't be 100% sure but does anybody have an idea of how accurate this tool can be?

    • ANSWER:
      This chart works 50% of the time, and that's about as good as it will get. China actually has laws that prevent people from having more than one child, and most families prefer to have a boy. With that being said, China has more homeless girls than boys and if the Chinese gender predictor chart actually worked, then this issue with so many homeless girls would not be as much of a disaster in China as it is right now. It's nice to believe that you can predict gender based on a date or something like that but this is false. If you want a real prediction you have to get an ultrasound or take matters into your own hands. Technology is getting better every year and you'd be surprised to find out that people can now determine whether they are having a boy or girl on their own. It's probably expensive though.

  6. QUESTION:
    Have you taken a gender predictor test or used the Chinese calender?
    The Chinese calender says it's a girl, the gender predictor urine test claims a boy. I'm so anxious and my 2nd tri ultrasound isn't until 2 weeks. If you hve taken these tests, how was the accuracy for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I used both and both were wrong.

  7. QUESTION:
    How accuratre was the chinese calendar baby gender predictor for you?
    Hi I'm 10wks pregnant and I went to the chinese calendar baby gender predictor to see if I was having a boy or a girl according to the calendar it say's I'm having a boy, I already have three girls so I really can't believe that I want to know if anyone had an accurate answer and actually had what the chinese calendar said? I'm not a big believer in that stuff but I heard it's pretty accurate please respond!

    • ANSWER:
      It said im having a girl and I did. I hope your having a boy!

  8. QUESTION:
    Are Gendermaker gender predictor tests easy to use?
    I want to try a gender predictor test, and have heard from friends that they are all complicated to use and it is hard to read the results on most of them. I just want to know if it is the same with Gendermaker, because I have heard some good reviews about it. Is it easy or complicated to take and read?

    • ANSWER:
      I ordered three for myself last week just to make sure the results were consistent. I'm only 9 weeks prego so I still have some time before ultrasound confirmation but according to the gender predictor test I am going to have a girl!

      So, the test is super easy. You need to use your 1st morning urine for the test and after you collect it you have to let it sit for about 2 or 3 minutes. You then use the dropper that they give you with the test to get the correct amount of urine and you take that and put it in the sample window of the test. You get a color chart with the test but it is supposed to turn pink for girl and blue for boy. Mine was pink/magenta colored which is close enough and I didn't really have much problem reading results. You actually get the color change really fast...in about 15 seconds. It is kind of like a pregnancy test in a way, but you don't have that agonizing few minutes that you wait for your results.

  9. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever used a chinese gender predictor and it come out correct?
    im expecting and i look at the chinese gender predictor. has anyone used one and it came out correct?

    • ANSWER:
      Statistically, it would be correct 50 % of the time.

  10. QUESTION:
    does the gender predictor they sell at the pharmacy really work?
    someone told me that at walgreens they sell a gender predictor that is 90% accurate, has anyone here have tried it? and if so, were the results correct or is just a flop?
    thanks in advance

    • ANSWER:
      It's only for fun. I never did it because I figured I didn't want to pay for it - if urine could really predict the sex of the baby, then why didn't doctors use it? I just waited for the ultrasound. I got the results from the ultrasound (a boy) and a friend bought me that thing. She pressured me into taking it for fun and it told me I was having a girl. When baby was born, he was a boy. 0% accurate for me.

  11. QUESTION:
    Anyone else find that the gender varies using Chinese Gender Predictor depending on which website you go on?
    I know it's all in fun but when I try to use the Chinese Gender Predictor, some say girl and some say boy depending on which website I go on.

    I was 33 when we conceived in December 2007. What do you think the gender will be? Any more reliable links would be useful. I know its not accurate but I thought it would be fun to find out before the ultrasound and see if it is correct.

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      It's because some sites use your age at conception and some use your lunar age at conception (it adds two years). The chart is the same but the different age makes a difference.

      Using my actual age, gender is wrong.
      Using my lunar age, the gender is right.

  12. QUESTION:
    Ladies has anyone ever used the IntelliGender baby gender predictor? Was it accurate?
    Can u share personal experiences with me on whether u used a predictor or had a doctor accurately tell u the gender of your baby? How far along were you at time of prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I used this for my second pregnancy, it was a baby shower gift but put it in a cupboard and didn't find it until I was 30+ weeks, by which time I knew already I was having a girl, I did the test anyway for fun, and it did come up girl, how accurate it is I don't know as it has a 50/50 chance of being right. But still was cute although perhaps a bit gimicky.

  13. QUESTION:
    How does the baby gender predictor work?
    So i recently learned about the gender predictor method using a pencil needle and thread. If i am pregnant right now, but had an miscarriage before.. how would it work? Would it show me what i had first (miscarriage) Or would it show what im pregnant with now and then show what i was having before? I know this stuff isnt accurate but its fun to do! :)
    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      It is just for fun and is not accurate in the least bit so it wouldn't really be showing the gender of either but if your going to believe in that stuff I would assume the current babies gender since that's the one that's in your belly.

  14. QUESTION:
    Does that chinese lunar calendar, baby gender predictor work?

  15. QUESTION:
    Did anyone do the Chinese gender predictor?
    Did anyone do the Chinese gender predictor and have it turn out true?
    So far my first two pregnancys it has been right. This time it says a boy haha fingers crossed!

  16. QUESTION:
    how reliable is the chinese gender predictor?
    We were told at my 20 week scan that we are having a girl (the sonographer said she was 99% certain its a girl) but the chinese gender predictor says we are having a boy!
    Just wondered what everyones thoughts were on it and how reliable people think it is?

    • ANSWER:
      It's about 50/50... lol.
      It was wrong with my first, right with my second and says we're having a boy this time... We didn't know with any of them what we were having.

  17. QUESTION:
    has anyone used the Chinese gender predictor calender?
    I am trying to get pregnant and I want a girl. Has any one ever used the Chinese gender predictor calender if so did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      You have to follow it correctly. Go with your Chinese birthday year. If you where born before Chinese new year your age will be the same if you were born after Chinese new year add a year more to you age. Take your age and month of conception which it has to be two weeks after your first day of your last period. If your lmp was the 20th of June then your conception month is July...

      But it's only for entertainment. But I tried after I gave birth to my daughter. And tried it with my sisters and brothers it came out correct.

  23. QUESTION:

    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

  26. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Gender predictor chart really work?
    Im curious to know because my friend just got pregnant and cant wait to know the gender of her baby, but we are sceptical about it. So i wanted to know if anyone you know or if you have tried it and how accurate it worked for you. THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      With my first, it predicted a boy and it was right :)

      With my second, it predicted another boy - but I had a girl :)

      Its not accurate at all, its just a bit of fun. Its easy for people to say its accurate - because really, the chart has a 50% chance of being right which is quite a high chance.

      But definitely don't go rushing out for pink if it says girl, or blue if it says boy - wait for the scan :)

      I totally understand how she feels though! I did so many gender prediction tests online, and I literally couldn't sleep the night before my 20 week scan (both pregnancies) :)

      Edit: What about people who have twins, one boy and one girl - the chart must be completely wrong for them!

    worried about the chinese gender predictor?
    me and my boyfriend are ttc child number two. i checked the chinese gender predictor and it says if i have sex this month it will be a girl. and we are trying to have a girl since we already have a boy. but according to the calender it says if i want a girl and dont concieve in january i will have to wait till april to concieve a girl! this predictor was right with my son and claims to be 93 percent accurate so im worried. should i believe the gender predictor or no?

I want to know if the Chinese gender predictor has ever been wrong before because my friend says it has never been wrong for any of her 4 kids! Please let me know! Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      they are mostly wrong, You shouldnt depend on a chinese predictor to tell you what sex you will have.
      the only thing thats close to telling you the sex of your baby is a ultrasound and even sometimes they are wrong.
      And sorry to say but most of the time you get the opposite of what you want.
      Try not to think about what sex you want, try think about all the positives of each sex so your not disappointed if you dont get what you want and be happy with a healthy baby no matter what sex.
      I was in the same situation when i was pregnant with my 2nd. I already have a 3 yr old boy and he wasnt planned but when i started planning for my second of course i wanted a girl to complete my family. I think a stressed way too much about how to have a girl, checking the internet for stupid little things to do or eat to increase my chances. it was so silly because its all bull. i lost my baby at 8 weeks so im not sure what sex it was but i think the stress didnt help.
      Seriously try not to stress, just think about all the good things with both sex
      good luck

  31. QUESTION:
    does anyone know anything about the home gender predictor kits?
    I think it's a fairly new thing. Its a pee test just like a home pregnancy test, except the colors are supposed to indicate the gender of your baby. I was just wondering if anyone knows the percentage of chances of the test being right or if anyone has used one?
    Thanks krude kitty, I figured as much.

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.intelligender.com/

      I think this is what your talking about? It apparently changes orange or green I think to indicate gender, you can use it from 10 weeks pregnant, it has a higher percentage than 50% but they do say it is just for fun, so don't go buying pink or blue!
      I wouldn't bother unless you are well off (money wise) it could be just a waste of money, good luck, congratulations & I hope you have a happy and very healthy 9 months ahead of you.

      It was right on for me and my sis in law. You just have to make sure you use your chinese age. It's different than the age you consider yourself. A good website will have an age converter.

  35. QUESTION:
    How accurate was a Chinese Gender Predictor for your baby?
    According to the chart, I am supposed to have a boy.....

    Was the chinese gender predictor right for you?
    It was right with my first two girls and I just calculated it and it said I would have a boy. So I'm hoping it's right again! :) Just for fun, was it right for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Nope - but my nanna tried the ring on a string test - put your wedding ring on a piece of string and hold it over your bump, it swings one ways its a girl the other a boy. I tried with my last and it was right - when even the ultrasound was wrong. Did it with this pregnancy and says boy...we shall see.

  39. QUESTION:
    I need help about a gender predictor test?
    I purchased a gender predictor test and was wondering if it has to be your first morning urine? This is my first time using this? i purchased it from gendermaker.com. Did anyone ever take this and was it accurate and did it have to be first morning urine? Thanks everyone.

    • ANSWER:
      FMU read the directions

      I took 2 of them - first one said it was a boy the second one said it was a girl - the kicker? I wasn't ever pregnant

      **Edit: I withheld the fact that your urine cannot determine gender

      Long story as to WHY I took them but yeah they're def. just for entertainment purposes only

  40. QUESTION:
    i want to conceive a girl next month in october. a friend told me about the chinese lunar gender predictor. ?
    i did it and it says i;m having a girl. what do you guys think about the chinese lunar gender predictor. is it true or false.

    • ANSWER:
      all i can suggest is choosing your time to have intercourse depending on your menstrual cycle......apparently the timing of sex can help choose the gender of the baby. Boy sperm is faster at swimming although isn't as strong so dies quicker but reaches further up the fallopian tube than female sperm so if you were trying for a boy then try intercourse day of ovulation......if you are trying for girl, well female sperm swims slower but lives longer so have sex 2-3 days before ovulation then have none after this time. This of course is to try and time the point where the sperm and egg meet. But personally if you want my advice, just be happy as long as you have a healthy baby, regardless of sex. I'm 12 weeks and just had scan a few days ago and assuming everything would be fine as i have 2 kids already, we were shocked to learn tht the baby has swelling on the brain and because there is so much, i have 50 50 chance of a downs sydrome baby. Just hope and pray for a healthy baby rather then the sex, and if it is a girl then treat it s a bonus. Hope this helps and good luck xx

  41. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese gender predictor accurate for any of you?
    Mine said I was having a boy but I really dont know yet. The ultra sound tech said boy the girl the boy then girl. That's why I am unsure.

    • ANSWER:
      It's creepy, but it was. I used it to predict the sex of three of my friends' babies and it was right. I even checked it for my mom when she had my sister and I and it was eerily accurate.

  42. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor worked for you?
    Surprisingly it worked for me, I got a girl.

    What about you?

  43. QUESTION:
    Opinions on Chinese gender predictor and intelligender test plz?
    I'll be 14 weeks in a few hours . I kinda think it's a boy . I been callin it him this whole time . My dad wants a boy n the baby's dad wants a boy so it would only fit . I want a girl lol . Boy I was wondering how accurate these things r in ur opinion. And if anyone has had past experiences with them (being negative or positive) .

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese Gender told me I was having a boy. The Intelligender test, [took at 15w] came up green which means boy. So I believed I was going to have a boy! Guess what.. I'm having a girl!!!! Yes they were both wrong! Lol you will have whatever God gives you (: Congratulations !!

  44. QUESTION:
    Another question about the gender predictor test?
    Sorry i posted earlier a question about if the gender prediction test had to be first morning urine. Well i wasnt patient for tommorow morning (lol) and took the test and came out to im having a girl. Do you think the test HAS to be FMU in order for it to be accurate? Did anyone ever take these tests and was accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      they are random

  45. QUESTION:
    Anyone ever do one of those gender predictor tests from the store? Was it correct?
    I am just curious if anyone actually buys these and how accurate, if at all, they are.

    • ANSWER:
      Well I wanted to buy one but I couldn't find it in the store. So I looked up online and searched for any other ways you could do it, I found out that if you mix your pee with drano its the same thing. Thats kind of how the pee test works supposably. So I did it like 5 times, it all came out to be a girl. And I went in the next week for a sonogram, and it was a girl. So it worked, or I just got lucky. Its supposed to stay yellow or orange if its a girl and turn green or blue if its a boy. Good luck!

  2. QUESTION:
    Intelligender Boy or Girl Predictor Kit Users? Your opinions?
    I recently went to the doctor on tuesday june 16 trying to find out the sex of my baby. It would not uncross its legs, so we don't know the sex of the baby. However, ever since I found out I was pregnant I just had this really strong gut feeling that I was having a boy. Like I just know that its a boy, whether I see anything or not.

    Since I couldn't see anything on tuesday, I went to my local Wal Greens and bought the Intelligender Boy or Girl Gender Predictor Kit. Well I took it, and it said a boy also. However, I was just wondering how accurate it is. I read on the box its 90% for lab test and like 80% worldwide, but I would like those of you who used it, your opinions on whether or not I should believe it. I would really like to know what it is so that I can at least kind of personalize its nursery and wardrobe.

    Thanks,
    Heather.

    • ANSWER:
      I just read an article somewhere that they are putting together a class-action lawsuit by parents who were told the wrong gender, and the test is not as reliable as it says it is. Google it, you will find lots of upset parents.

    the nt tech. nurse she said it was a boy because she saw a sack...

    • ANSWER:
      I found out at the same time at my NT ultrasound... they said boy and he definitely is a boy. but i would NOT buy ANYTHING yet... i have seen numerous pictures where it shows "a boy" and it ends up being a girl. When a girl is developing the labia can swell and look like it's a boy when in fact, it's a girl. I know it's excited, but you really should wait it out. Good Luck!

I wanted to wait till birth but then we agreed on me teasing him...any ideas how to tease him when the time comes?

    • ANSWER:
      I dreamt of a baby boy in my dream while I was pregnant. I decided to not believe it bc I wanted a girl. But sure enough I delivered a beautiful little Boy!!! So I say your probly having a girl :)

  13. QUESTION:
    Anyone else find that the gender varies using Chinese Gender Predictor depending on which website you go on?
    I know it's all in fun but when I try to use the Chinese Gender Predictor, some say girl and some say boy depending on which website I go on.

    I was 33 when we conceived in December 2007. What do you think the gender will be? Any more reliable links would be useful. I know its not accurate but I thought it would be fun to find out before the ultrasound and see if it is correct.

    Thanks

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      It's because some sites use your age at conception and some use your lunar age at conception (it adds two years). The chart is the same but the different age makes a difference.

      Using my actual age, gender is wrong.
      Using my lunar age, the gender is right.

  14. QUESTION:
    Wanna play a game?Boy or Girl?
    Hey ya'll I have tried several different ways to find out if Im having a boy or girl.Just as a way to have some fun today if your bored play along.

    String and ring test-Boy
    Morning sickness test-Girl
    Carrying high or low(for me low)-boy I am only 19 weeks though and no baby bump but thats where its kickin is low.
    Sweet or sour-Really niether is a craving for me but I have been loving salt lately.Right before I found out I was pregnant I drank within a day a lemon bottle with lemon juice in it.Dont know if it was a craving or not really just sounded good at the time,Im guessing result would be-Boy
    Chinese Gender Predictor-Boy
    Heart rate is lower than 140bpm its a boy-Mine has a heart beat of 158bpm-Girl
    The Mayan tale even is girl odd is boy-odd says Boy
    Increased acne-(no acne)so guessing Boy

    Thats all I have tried what have you tried?

    Just for the record the Mayan Tale and the Chinese Baby Gender predictor worked for my first born son lets see if they are both right this time!!!

  15. QUESTION:

    i was wondering if anyone out there has used the chinese gender predictor chart?? if so, was it correct and how many children did you use it with and it ended up right or wrong? i always had a feeling which gender i was having ( pregnant for the 3rd time) and have been right everytime so far :) i go to the doc next monday for a ultrasound and just excited to see if its a boy or girl. the gender predictor chart says im having a boy and thats what i thought too so we'll see!!

    • ANSWER:

  16. QUESTION:
    How accuratre was the chinese calendar baby gender predictor for you?
    Hi I'm 10wks pregnant and I went to the chinese calendar baby gender predictor to see if I was having a boy or a girl according to the calendar it say's I'm having a boy, I already have three girls so I really can't believe that I want to know if anyone had an accurate answer and actually had what the chinese calendar said? I'm not a big believer in that stuff but I heard it's pretty accurate please respond!

    • ANSWER:
      It said im having a girl and I did. I hope your having a boy!

  17. QUESTION:
    Another boy or girl question, chinese gender prediction?
    I know it is all old wives tales and what not, but im struggling to make to to my sexing scan and the intrigue is driving me nuts lol. Just wondered if any of you have tried a chinese gender predictor and if it was correct for you, assuming you know the sex. If you havent tried one and know the sex of your baby could you test it out for me and let me know if it is right or not.

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html <<< Link to predictor :D

    I know none of this is fact, im just having fun with it! Ive been told people find this calculator quite accurate ;)

    • ANSWER:
      With my first it was right.
      My second it was wrong, BUT when looking back at when I conceived it was believed to be right on my birthday. So if I go by the age 24 it is wrong, and if I go by 25 it is right.
      With this one it was right.

      I use to Google baby gender quizes, and fill them out to see what I was having. They were so much fun!

  18. QUESTION:
    how reliable is the chinese gender predictor?
    We were told at my 20 week scan that we are having a girl (the sonographer said she was 99% certain its a girl) but the chinese gender predictor says we are having a boy!
    Just wondered what everyones thoughts were on it and how reliable people think it is?

    • ANSWER:
      It's about 50/50... lol.
      It was wrong with my first, right with my second and says we're having a boy this time... We didn't know with any of them what we were having.

  19. QUESTION:
    My cravings are salty food, meat, ripe mango, butter...I checked with Fortune Gender predictor, it said girl,?
    I checked with chinese, it said boy, i checked it Lunar it said girl again. My skin doesnt look too good, at times it glows like anything. I have hairfall. Had morning sickness for one week. Not now. I am 4 weeks Preggie. Could anyone tell me the Gender of my baby. Its the second one...and I am just too curious to know!!! :)

    • ANSWER:
      Oh! Grow up! The gender of your child has nothing to do with what you eat or fake calendars.

  20. QUESTION:
    Just for fun...do you think I'm having a boy or girl?
    A little fun to the pregnancy section...as a regular here, I've come across some really sad and hard to deal with issues others are contending with. So, is this a boy or girl? Here's the info:

    I've had only mild nausea, and it ended before 6wks
    I'm not showing yet when standing up - 16wk 5d along
    Bled and cramped for the first 10 weeks
    Cravings: bean burritos, steaks, honey wheat bread and potato chips
    Having to avoid: milk
    Lost 20lbs, and still haven't gained any weight
    Previous pregnancies: 2; 1st was twin boys, 2nd was a singleton girl
    Gender predictors I've come across have said both boy and girl...so there's no clear consensus among them.

    Haven't had the ultrasound yet where they determine if it's a boy or girl, so I don't really know either...but what do you think? Boy or girl???

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know. Intuitively, I said girl, but I'm not a psychic.

      Aside from that, the cravings for bean burritos & steak might be saying you need more iron. So, that would be beans, molasses, maybe nuts, but I'm not sure, spinach. Also, I think to get full benefit from both iron & calcium, you're supposed to eat them at separate meals. Otherwise, they can interfere with each other's absorption. You might want to check some nutrition charts & food labels for both iron-rich & calcium-rich food, & then read up on food combos from some experts. You didn't ask, so it's just a thought based on your cravings.

  21. QUESTION:
    have any of you used the gender predictor they sell at the drug store?
    i am 2 months pregnant with my 4th child and i am super anxiious to find out wheather im having a boy or a girl. I want to try the gender predictor but i wanted to find out if people actually had luck with it first. I'm pretty skeptical.

    • ANSWER:
      Those things are a ripoff, fake, fraud, waste of money.

      They are only 50/50 chance of being right which is the same as guessing.

  22. QUESTION:
    Did Chinese Gender Predictor work for you?
    I have a 9yr. old, twin 3yr olds, and a 1yr old, all BOYS, and 1 girl on the way, the chinese gender predictor was right for me but BACKWARDS, it said I was having girls with my boys and i was having a boy but it's a girl, crazy huh? how did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It was accurate for me. This is the chinese gender chart that I used.

  23. QUESTION:
    Gender predictor?
    Ok I would really like a girl this time and have took one of them gender tests things on a few differnt web sites.

    I know I am sad but also talked to a few differnt physics whp said I am having a boy but these web sites say it's a girl. i hear people rave about the chinese gender predictor and is nealy always right.

    Has any one eles done one of these and got negative results. Or is it just me wishful thinking.
    I know I sound really stupid but im just trying every thing to find out early lol

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese gender predictor said I'm having a boy.

      Went to the doctor on Friday and found out I'm having a boy!

      Yay!!

  24. QUESTION:
    worried about the chinese gender predictor?
    me and my boyfriend are ttc child number two. i checked the chinese gender predictor and it says if i have sex this month it will be a girl. and we are trying to have a girl since we already have a boy. but according to the calender it says if i want a girl and dont concieve in january i will have to wait till april to concieve a girl! this predictor was right with my son and claims to be 93 percent accurate so im worried. should i believe the gender predictor or no?

    • ANSWER:
      I really don't think it could be very accurate. If it does happen to be right, it's just coincidence. I hope you get your little girl!

  25. QUESTION:
    Did you have worse morning sickness with your girl or your boy?
    I have a boy and a girl and it seemed like I had a horrible time with the puking with my boy than my girl. This time wasn't as bad as with my son either so I am hoping this one is a girl. The chinese gender predictor says girl but I have heard those things aren't always the best with accuracy. So is it true that boys tend to make you sicker? What was your experience?
    Ohhh Landons Momma just wait girl, i didn't get any sickness until about 6 and a half weeks! I felt great until then! I hope you don't get it though!

    • ANSWER:
      Im having a girl..and I never even had any sickness

  26. QUESTION:
    What kind of gender predictor gender tests are out on the market right now?
    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

    • ANSWER:
      There are so many gender predictor tests out there I don't even know where to start, but I agree with the people above and recommend GenderMaker for you as well. Way easy to read and yeah it is pretty cheap. I'm not so lazy so I'll post a link for you.

  27. QUESTION:
    whats your guess...boy or girl?
    just for fun what do you think i am having based on the following

    16.5 week heart rate 165
    no morning sickness whatsoever to date
    biggest craving is for sour and salty foods
    starting to get a bump ...seems like i'll be carrying low
    three early pregnancy dreams of having a baby boy

    so what's your guess?
    i will be finding out on June 22nd and It feels like its going to take forever

    chinese gender predictor says boy and another thing is that i have a strong food aversion to pizza or pasta

    • ANSWER:
      Boy. I had an aversion to pizza too. Couldn't even be around it. Especially while it was in the oven. And I had a boy. Although everybody and every pregnancy is different. So you will just have to wait til he comes. Sounds like you really want a boy though. So that's what I hope it is for you!

  28. QUESTION:
    Gender preditor kit...did you try it?
    I was wondering how many of you bought the boy or girl gender predictor kit. If you did were the results correct? I might do it just for fun even though I know it is not 100 % correct. But I am still not sure because is kind of expensive.

    • ANSWER:
      mine was way more than !! it said inconclusive

  29. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese gender predictor accurate for any of you?
    Mine said I was having a boy but I really dont know yet. The ultra sound tech said boy the girl the boy then girl. That's why I am unsure.

    • ANSWER:
      It's creepy, but it was. I used it to predict the sex of three of my friends' babies and it was right. I even checked it for my mom when she had my sister and I and it was eerily accurate.

  30. QUESTION:
    What do you think...Boy or Girl!?
    Finally, my gender ultrasound is this Tuesday...only 2 more days to go!!! I am 18.5 weeks along. We are so so so excited! What do you guys think...boy or girl? I know it would just be a guess, but its fun for me to hear anyhow and I will post the results on Tuesday...woo hoo!

    Some info about me (old wives tales info):
    Baby's heartbeat: 147-153
    Baby is sitting low and out front
    Craving sweets and fruit
    Hubby and I both have a "boy" feeling
    I have 3 sisters, hubby has 1 brother & 1 sister
    Pregnancy is going great - I feel great other than some tiredness
    Baby is VERY active! I can already feel him/her from the outside and started feeling the baby every day at 16.5 weeks

    Every single online gender predictor says "girl" - no joke...I've done like 12 of them. What do you think? Thanks for guessing!!!
    Thanks everyone! We "secretly" were always hoping for a girl, but have thought "boy" since we saw the baby jumping all around on the 11 week ultrasound. So we've been thinking boy for 7 weeks now and are starting to get used to the idea. Honestly I would be thrilled (suprised but thrilled) if the baby is a girl, but still very happy if we find out it is a boy. I am so excited I want to go to sleep and not wake up till Tuesday!

    • ANSWER:
      wow your pregnancy sounds Exactly like mine, not even kidding. the babys heartbeat at 19w was 149, has been sitting low the entire time, i always wanted fruit and anything sour, i have 2 sisters, the only problem i had was morning sickness, and my baby was active from the start, and online predictors all said girl for us but guess what? were having a baby boy =]
      judging by your description and my experience i vote boy. congrats on your pregnancy!

  31. QUESTION:
    Opinions on Chinese gender predictor and intelligender test plz?
    I'll be 14 weeks in a few hours . I kinda think it's a boy . I been callin it him this whole time . My dad wants a boy n the baby's dad wants a boy so it would only fit . I want a girl lol . Boy I was wondering how accurate these things r in ur opinion. And if anyone has had past experiences with them (being negative or positive) .

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese Gender told me I was having a boy. The Intelligender test, [took at 15w] came up green which means boy. So I believed I was going to have a boy! Guess what.. I'm having a girl!!!! Yes they were both wrong! Lol you will have whatever God gives you (: Congratulations !!

  32. QUESTION:
    have you tried the gender predictor test at CVS?
    i just read on ParentsConnect there is a gender predictor text at CVS that tests for testosterone to see if you're having a girl or boy. have any of you tried that? was it right if you did try it? how about the gender predictor online here have you tried that and was it right?

    • ANSWER:
      I bought the intelligender at CVS for 30 bucks and took it at 10-11 weeks and it told me I was having a boy.

      I have actually had several ultrasounds since then and had 2 different sources tell me It's a Girl. Fun test but I don't believe it's reliable.

      After I bought the test I read somewhere that theres no way to pick up the baby sex just by testing your urine. Idk if thats true or not but its definitely something to think about.

  33. QUESTION:
    Any way to predict the gender of my baby?
    I know it sounds silly but I'm going crazy not knowing what I'm having! I'm only 9 weeks so I have a ways to go before I find out, but I was wondering if there were any signs people had that made them believe they were having a boy or a girl? The chinese chart gender predictor told me I'm having a boy but I have a hard time believing that every woman my age that concieved in june is having a boy aswell.

    • ANSWER:
      You can't, you'll have to wait for an ultrasound.

  34. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl sway? + old wives tales?
    First, I KNOW nothing is certain and can't "make" me have a boy or a girl. I'm just wondering if possibly I swayed or am leaning towards one or the other.

    1. Conception was September 6th, the day before my husbands birthday. Lots of sweets and dairy food was consumed around that time
    2. Waxing moon.. which sways girl
    3. I'm a smoker (or was :P .. I quit the day I found out)
    4. Chinese gender predictor says it'd be a girl with no boy within 4+ months both ways
    5. Wedding ring goes in a strong circle no matter who holds it.. did it over and over again
    6. Morning sickness is SO unlike my previous pregnancy. I'm sick all of the time.
    7. Both of our families go Boy-Girl for about 2 or 3 generations.
    8. My son.. who's a HUGE momma's boy.. is now distancing himself from me in the past week or so. Unlike anything he's ever done, He's usually attached to my hip.. but now he is rebelling and clinging more towards daddy (which is super unusual.. but daddy is pleased :P ) .. Same with my nephew who's 3.
    9. Regarding the actual BD, I'm 90% sure it was missionary or from behind with no O. Then fell asleep afterwards with out jumping and dumping.

    And finally.. I just FEEL like it's a girl. I'm not sure if it's because I want it that much and I'm making myself thing it.. It just doens't feel like my previous pregnancy where I had my little boy.

    For the record, I'm married, and we provide for our 2 1/2 y/o son. I will be happy as long as he or she is healthy and happy, of course. I just always pictured having 2 kids and I'd love a little girl to complete our family.

    • ANSWER:

  35. QUESTION:

  36. QUESTION:
    what do you think about gender predictor chart?
    i am 23 and i think i concieved in june ( i dont know bc i never got my postpartum menstrual and my OB told me i am more or less 8w5d) and i have looked up (for fun) the chinese gender chart and some told me girl and the other boy so now i dont know which to follow anyways the majority told me girl... was it correct for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It told me I was having a boy, I'm having a girl.

      They are fun to play around with, but far from accurate.

  37. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor?
    With the Chinese Gender Predictor, when it asks for your age at time of conception and conception month, do you base it off of your LMP or the month you ovulated? I was 27 when I got pregnant and my period was the end of January so my ovulation was in Febuary. I'm almsot 13 weeks and the sonogram shows a girl, but the predictor says a boy. The sonographer said the baby may not be developed enough and it may actually be a boy. What is everyones opinion? Thanks all!

    • ANSWER:
      You are supposed to use the month you ovulated. I used this chinese gender chart
      http://www.fortunebaby.com/chinesegenderpredictionchart.html

  38. QUESTION:
    Can you tell if this is a boy or girl??????????
    I am 28 weeks now and my baby is extremely active. When I was pregnant with my daughter, she was never this active. When I went for an ultrasound, this baby was very active and the dr thinks that's a girl, however, my gynecologists thinks I'm carrying this baby too low for it to be a girl. Plus, she made me sign a circumsician form, just in case it was a boy. She said girls aren't as active in the womb as boys are. Also, when I did the needle and thread old wives tale, it showed boy. I also did the Chinese gender predictor and it showed a boy. I know these aren't reliable but, I've had so many people tell me that they carried their sons the way I'm carrying this one and with the dr even questioning it, it makes me wonder. Can you look at this and tell me what you think?? Oh by the way, the dr that did the ultrasound did write "girl" on the ultrasound however he told me to keep all tags on the clothes I bought. What do you think?

    http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc158/kleighwickham/image003.jpg

    • ANSWER:
      I truly cannot tell with this picture. I'm having a boy and my picture was very clear. No mistaken his wee wee.

    Hie, m 5 months pregnant. I have heard about Chinese gender predictor, need to know more about it,pls advice?
    Hi friends, m born on 24th march 1985, my first day of last menstrual period was on 27th sept 2010 and my due date is on 4th july 2011. M very excited to know whther my baby is a boy or girl, i have heard about Chinese gender predictor, my friends has told tht its very funny ..still i want to give a try..pls guide..thnks in advance......

    • ANSWER:
      Actually a MUCH MORE accurate way to find out the babies gender is ultrasound.

  40. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor calculator work for ?
    Based on that it said im having a girl. I already have a girl and im reallllly hoping for a boy. Did it work for you? Or was it wrong?

    • ANSWER:

  41. QUESTION:
    boy or girl any urine test that can show soon?
    im curious to know if they're is any urine test for gender predictor that is accurate and would tell me if im having a boy or girl. has anyone used one and it worked how much are they and are they accurate and how far along do you have to be?
    it dont matter to me i just want a healthy baby , but i would like to know so i can buy pink or blue

    • ANSWER:
      There's an old wifes tale test that involves draino. However, it is dangerous and doesn't work. I've tried it with mine and had different reslults ~ I have all boys.
      Other than that there is no test that will tell you the gender of your baby with out ultrasound or amnio.
      Good luck with your baby and don't worry. God will give you the gender that suits you best right now.

  42. QUESTION:
    I just tried the gender predictor test,has anyone gotten the wrong result?
    So it's going to be a another boy according the test.I understand the results may not be accurate.I also tried the needle test,that resulted as a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      With my last baby I took one and it said boy and she was a girl. I would not go by that test at all. I didn't even waste my money this time but ultrasound says I am having a boy this time and I found that out at only 13 weeks 5 days. The test is for fun and has a 50 50 chance of being right since you have a 50 50 chance of having one or the other

  43. QUESTION:
    Did anyone have a "gut instinct" or maternal instinct on their baby's gender and were right?!?
    I have a feeling, a strong feeling, that I am having a girl. I am 11 weeks. I have one girl now who is almost 4, so I would like to have a boy this time around. Of course, I will be happy with either. And my little one wants a sister.
    I don't know why I feel like it's a girl. The chinese gender predictor says boy. Most old wives tales point to boy, but it's just a feeling. Anyone have any stories about their instincts being right or wrong??

    • ANSWER:
      Believe in yourself! you might be having a girl. It's that motherly instinct, after all...

  44. QUESTION:
    Does any one believe in the Chinese Baby Gender Predictor?
    I have seen a couple different ones, one said it goes by the mothers age at conception and one said it goes by the age when giving birth, so that right there makes me a little skeptical. I dont know what to think. The majority of the ones say that Im having a girl but really want a boy ... So I dont know... maybe I just dont want to believe it....

    What do you think?

    • ANSWER:

  45. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor?! Did it work for you?!?
    I've seen a lot of gender predictors online...and most of them all say boy (still dont know what i'm having)..although many of these sites are inaccurate. I tested the theory with my mom and my siblings and most of the sites were incorrect...until I found THIS site...it matched all my four siblings and I correctly and its the only site that said i'm having a girl instead of a boy! Just curious if other people (who have kids, or know what they are having) would go to this link and see if it worked and was accurate for them...I would love to know if i really had a good chance of it being a girl...cause i figure if EVERY person who goes to this site gets accurate results then maybe it does work after all...

    http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    ps. I really don't care what i'm having, boy or girl i'll still be really happy! Its just so fascinating and I can't wait to find out!
    Just an FYI make sure you put in the date you CONCEIVED! not your last period! I know a lot of people put in their last period and that makes it incorrect...
    Haha thanks to all that took it...

    • ANSWER:
      Wrong for all three of my children.

Gender Predictor Boy Or Girl

Predicting Baby Gender - The Way to Pick Boy or Girl for Your Future Infant
Have you ever considered the possibilty of predicting baby gender. Perhaps there is a certain gender you are really hoping for. With gender selection techniques, you are able to make it more favorable for you to get the gender of your dreams.

These approaches are centered around the truth that the sperm who carry Y chromosomes (that are essential for a little boy) are quite different from the semen that carry the X chromosome (which are necessary for a little girl). By realizing these variations, and selecting the right strategies, you're creating an environment exactly where one kind of sperm can outperform the other and get to the primary location very first. Let's take a look at what it is possible to do.

The right Diet plan
Y sperm demand an enivornment that's alkalai in nature, although X sperm need to have far more acid. The PH levels of your body establish how thick the cervical discharge is and no matter whether or not the needed sperm is going to be able to get by way of successfully. As a way to have a little girl, you'll want to consume a diet which is wealthy in calcium and magnesium. To be able to have a male, a diet plan wealthy in potassium and sodium is needed.
The correct Time
The timing of when you have intercourse can greatly affect predicting baby gender. Since the Y semen must reach the egg as speedily as probable, it really is required to time sex to the day that you simply ovulate to enhance your chances of having a son. They are going to be able to reach the ovum even though they are still viable.

But to be able to have a female, you have to give the Y semen time to die off, allowing the a lot more sturdy X semen behind. This means that you will must time sex to roughly two to three days before ovulation. This gives the X semen much more than enough time to reach the egg.

The correct Position
The position you pick for sexual intercourse may also decide predicting baby gender. The Y semen have to reach their destination in as small time as achievable. Consequently they need to be presented as close to the cervix as feasible, shortening the trip they must take to the egg. Positions that permit for deep penetration are ideal.

As a way to have a little girl, you have to make it more challenging for the Y semen to reach their goal on time. Which means that positions where shallow penetration is achieved are required. The semen will likely be deposited farther away from the cervix, providing the X semen the chance they need to reach the egg, and permitting the Y semen to die off.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl?? Trying to find out how accurate the Chinese Gender Predictor is always right?
    Ok, so i have looked at the chinese gender predictor and it says boy. Has anyone had the predictor say one thing and have the opposite? I really want a girl, I already have a son, so i was just wondering if this was always right.lol...

    • ANSWER:
      it was wrong for me lol it told me boy and i'm having a baby girl

  2. QUESTION:
    Intelligender Boy or Girl Predictor Kit Users? Your opinions?
    I recently went to the doctor on tuesday june 16 trying to find out the sex of my baby. It would not uncross its legs, so we don't know the sex of the baby. However, ever since I found out I was pregnant I just had this really strong gut feeling that I was having a boy. Like I just know that its a boy, whether I see anything or not.

    Since I couldn't see anything on tuesday, I went to my local Wal Greens and bought the Intelligender Boy or Girl Gender Predictor Kit. Well I took it, and it said a boy also. However, I was just wondering how accurate it is. I read on the box its 90% for lab test and like 80% worldwide, but I would like those of you who used it, your opinions on whether or not I should believe it. I would really like to know what it is so that I can at least kind of personalize its nursery and wardrobe.

    Thanks,
    Heather.

    • ANSWER:
      I just read an article somewhere that they are putting together a class-action lawsuit by parents who were told the wrong gender, and the test is not as reliable as it says it is. Google it, you will find lots of upset parents.

      I would save my money, and wait until the next ultrasound.

  3. QUESTION:
    Who has heard of GenderMaker gender predictor test to determine if you will have a boy or girl?
    I'm thinking of buying GenderMaker gender test for my friend as part of her present for an early baby shower , but I don't know. Maybe I should just buy a neutral gender one piece suit. Thoughts?? I am single, no kids, so I really don't know what would be a good present for my friend for this occasion.

    • ANSWER:
      That is such a great idea! I am definitely keeping that in mind for the next present I have to come up with for any of my friends. I swear they are all getting pregnant one after another. I guess that's how you know Spring is here! haha. I think getting GenderMaker gender prediction test for your friend is a great idea. I have heard great things about it. You can't go wrong with this present unless your friend has already found out the gender of the baby.

  7. QUESTION:
    Boy or Girl accuarcy at 12 1/2 weeks gestation?
    @ 12 weeks 4days gestation i had an nt ultrasound and i asked the nurse if she was abe to see the gender yet and she said it was a boy, i just wonder if i should start thinking boy and get boy stuff yet or wait till my 20 week ultz in july..i also bought a boy/girl gender predictor @ target the urine test kit and it looks like it also said boy...i was hopeing for girl but boy will due fine..lol... has any one been miss read at a nt ultz at 12 1/2 weeks ? should i just consider boy and stick with it ?
    the nt tech. nurse she said it was a boy because she saw a sack...

    • ANSWER:
      I found out at the same time at my NT ultrasound... they said boy and he definitely is a boy. but i would NOT buy ANYTHING yet... i have seen numerous pictures where it shows "a boy" and it ends up being a girl. When a girl is developing the labia can swell and look like it's a boy when in fact, it's a girl. I know it's excited, but you really should wait it out. Good Luck!

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html <<< Link to predictor :D

    I know none of this is fact, im just having fun with it! Ive been told people find this calculator quite accurate ;)

    • ANSWER:
      With my first it was right.
      My second it was wrong, BUT when looking back at when I conceived it was believed to be right on my birthday. So if I go by the age 24 it is wrong, and if I go by 25 it is right.
      With this one it was right.

      I use to Google baby gender quizes, and fill them out to see what I was having. They were so much fun!

  15. QUESTION:
    Just for fun...do you think I'm having a boy or girl?
    A little fun to the pregnancy section...as a regular here, I've come across some really sad and hard to deal with issues others are contending with. So, is this a boy or girl? Here's the info:

    I've had only mild nausea, and it ended before 6wks
    I'm not showing yet when standing up - 16wk 5d along
    Bled and cramped for the first 10 weeks
    Cravings: bean burritos, steaks, honey wheat bread and potato chips
    Having to avoid: milk
    Lost 20lbs, and still haven't gained any weight
    Previous pregnancies: 2; 1st was twin boys, 2nd was a singleton girl
    Gender predictors I've come across have said both boy and girl...so there's no clear consensus among them.

    Haven't had the ultrasound yet where they determine if it's a boy or girl, so I don't really know either...but what do you think? Boy or girl???

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know. Intuitively, I said girl, but I'm not a psychic.

      Aside from that, the cravings for bean burritos & steak might be saying you need more iron. So, that would be beans, molasses, maybe nuts, but I'm not sure, spinach. Also, I think to get full benefit from both iron & calcium, you're supposed to eat them at separate meals. Otherwise, they can interfere with each other's absorption. You might want to check some nutrition charts & food labels for both iron-rich & calcium-rich food, & then read up on food combos from some experts. You didn't ask, so it's just a thought based on your cravings.

  16. QUESTION:
    have any of you used the gender predictor they sell at the drug store?
    i am 2 months pregnant with my 4th child and i am super anxiious to find out wheather im having a boy or a girl. I want to try the gender predictor but i wanted to find out if people actually had luck with it first. I'm pretty skeptical.

    • ANSWER:
      Those things are a ripoff, fake, fraud, waste of money.

      They are only 50/50 chance of being right which is the same as guessing.

  17. QUESTION:
    worried about the chinese gender predictor?
    me and my boyfriend are ttc child number two. i checked the chinese gender predictor and it says if i have sex this month it will be a girl. and we are trying to have a girl since we already have a boy. but according to the calender it says if i want a girl and dont concieve in january i will have to wait till april to concieve a girl! this predictor was right with my son and claims to be 93 percent accurate so im worried. should i believe the gender predictor or no?

    • ANSWER:
      I really don't think it could be very accurate. If it does happen to be right, it's just coincidence. I hope you get your little girl!

  19. QUESTION:
    Did you have worse morning sickness with your girl or your boy?
    I have a boy and a girl and it seemed like I had a horrible time with the puking with my boy than my girl. This time wasn't as bad as with my son either so I am hoping this one is a girl. The chinese gender predictor says girl but I have heard those things aren't always the best with accuracy. So is it true that boys tend to make you sicker? What was your experience?
    Ohhh Landons Momma just wait girl, i didn't get any sickness until about 6 and a half weeks! I felt great until then! I hope you don't get it though!

    • ANSWER:
      Im having a girl..and I never even had any sickness

  20. QUESTION:
    What kind of gender predictor gender tests are out on the market right now?
    First time pregnant and want to know if I'm gonna have a girl or boy already! My husband wants to wait and have the gender be a surprise, but I just cannot wait! I have never done this before so I wanted to know if anyone could recommend me a fast/easy test. Cheap would be a plus. =)

    • ANSWER:
      There are so many gender predictor tests out there I don't even know where to start, but I agree with the people above and recommend GenderMaker for you as well. Way easy to read and yeah it is pretty cheap. I'm not so lazy so I'll post a link for you.

  21. QUESTION:
    whats your guess...boy or girl?
    just for fun what do you think i am having based on the following

    16.5 week heart rate 165
    no morning sickness whatsoever to date
    biggest craving is for sour and salty foods
    starting to get a bump ...seems like i'll be carrying low
    three early pregnancy dreams of having a baby boy

    so what's your guess?
    i will be finding out on June 22nd and It feels like its going to take forever

    chinese gender predictor says boy and another thing is that i have a strong food aversion to pizza or pasta

    • ANSWER:
      Boy. I had an aversion to pizza too. Couldn't even be around it. Especially while it was in the oven. And I had a boy. Although everybody and every pregnancy is different. So you will just have to wait til he comes. Sounds like you really want a boy though. So that's what I hope it is for you!

  22. QUESTION:
    Gender preditor kit...did you try it?
    I was wondering how many of you bought the boy or girl gender predictor kit. If you did were the results correct? I might do it just for fun even though I know it is not 100 % correct. But I am still not sure because is kind of expensive.

    • ANSWER:
      mine was way more than !! it said inconclusive

  23. QUESTION:
    What do you think...Boy or Girl!?
    Finally, my gender ultrasound is this Tuesday...only 2 more days to go!!! I am 18.5 weeks along. We are so so so excited! What do you guys think...boy or girl? I know it would just be a guess, but its fun for me to hear anyhow and I will post the results on Tuesday...woo hoo!

    Some info about me (old wives tales info):
    Baby's heartbeat: 147-153
    Baby is sitting low and out front
    Craving sweets and fruit
    Hubby and I both have a "boy" feeling
    I have 3 sisters, hubby has 1 brother & 1 sister
    Pregnancy is going great - I feel great other than some tiredness
    Baby is VERY active! I can already feel him/her from the outside and started feeling the baby every day at 16.5 weeks

    Every single online gender predictor says "girl" - no joke...I've done like 12 of them. What do you think? Thanks for guessing!!!
    Thanks everyone! We "secretly" were always hoping for a girl, but have thought "boy" since we saw the baby jumping all around on the 11 week ultrasound. So we've been thinking boy for 7 weeks now and are starting to get used to the idea. Honestly I would be thrilled (suprised but thrilled) if the baby is a girl, but still very happy if we find out it is a boy. I am so excited I want to go to sleep and not wake up till Tuesday!

    • ANSWER:
      wow your pregnancy sounds Exactly like mine, not even kidding. the babys heartbeat at 19w was 149, has been sitting low the entire time, i always wanted fruit and anything sour, i have 2 sisters, the only problem i had was morning sickness, and my baby was active from the start, and online predictors all said girl for us but guess what? were having a baby boy =]
      judging by your description and my experience i vote boy. congrats on your pregnancy!

  24. QUESTION:
    Opinions on Chinese gender predictor and intelligender test plz?
    I'll be 14 weeks in a few hours . I kinda think it's a boy . I been callin it him this whole time . My dad wants a boy n the baby's dad wants a boy so it would only fit . I want a girl lol . Boy I was wondering how accurate these things r in ur opinion. And if anyone has had past experiences with them (being negative or positive) .

  25. QUESTION:
    have you tried the gender predictor test at CVS?
    i just read on ParentsConnect there is a gender predictor text at CVS that tests for testosterone to see if you're having a girl or boy. have any of you tried that? was it right if you did try it? how about the gender predictor online here have you tried that and was it right?

    • ANSWER:
      I bought the intelligender at CVS for 30 bucks and took it at 10-11 weeks and it told me I was having a boy.

      I have actually had several ultrasounds since then and had 2 different sources tell me It's a Girl. Fun test but I don't believe it's reliable.

      After I bought the test I read somewhere that theres no way to pick up the baby sex just by testing your urine. Idk if thats true or not but its definitely something to think about.

  26. QUESTION:
    Any way to predict the gender of my baby?
    I know it sounds silly but I'm going crazy not knowing what I'm having! I'm only 9 weeks so I have a ways to go before I find out, but I was wondering if there were any signs people had that made them believe they were having a boy or a girl? The chinese chart gender predictor told me I'm having a boy but I have a hard time believing that every woman my age that concieved in june is having a boy aswell.

    • ANSWER:
      You can't, you'll have to wait for an ultrasound.

  27. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl sway? + old wives tales?
    First, I KNOW nothing is certain and can't "make" me have a boy or a girl. I'm just wondering if possibly I swayed or am leaning towards one or the other.

    1. Conception was September 6th, the day before my husbands birthday. Lots of sweets and dairy food was consumed around that time
    2. Waxing moon.. which sways girl
    3. I'm a smoker (or was :P .. I quit the day I found out)
    4. Chinese gender predictor says it'd be a girl with no boy within 4+ months both ways
    5. Wedding ring goes in a strong circle no matter who holds it.. did it over and over again
    6. Morning sickness is SO unlike my previous pregnancy. I'm sick all of the time.
    7. Both of our families go Boy-Girl for about 2 or 3 generations.
    8. My son.. who's a HUGE momma's boy.. is now distancing himself from me in the past week or so. Unlike anything he's ever done, He's usually attached to my hip.. but now he is rebelling and clinging more towards daddy (which is super unusual.. but daddy is pleased :P ) .. Same with my nephew who's 3.
    9. Regarding the actual BD, I'm 90% sure it was missionary or from behind with no O. Then fell asleep afterwards with out jumping and dumping.

    And finally.. I just FEEL like it's a girl. I'm not sure if it's because I want it that much and I'm making myself thing it.. It just doens't feel like my previous pregnancy where I had my little boy.

    For the record, I'm married, and we provide for our 2 1/2 y/o son. I will be happy as long as he or she is healthy and happy, of course. I just always pictured having 2 kids and I'd love a little girl to complete our family.

  30. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor?
    With the Chinese Gender Predictor, when it asks for your age at time of conception and conception month, do you base it off of your LMP or the month you ovulated? I was 27 when I got pregnant and my period was the end of January so my ovulation was in Febuary. I'm almsot 13 weeks and the sonogram shows a girl, but the predictor says a boy. The sonographer said the baby may not be developed enough and it may actually be a boy. What is everyones opinion? Thanks all!

    • ANSWER:
      You are supposed to use the month you ovulated. I used this chinese gender chart

  31. QUESTION:
    Can you tell if this is a boy or girl??????????
    I am 28 weeks now and my baby is extremely active. When I was pregnant with my daughter, she was never this active. When I went for an ultrasound, this baby was very active and the dr thinks that's a girl, however, my gynecologists thinks I'm carrying this baby too low for it to be a girl. Plus, she made me sign a circumsician form, just in case it was a boy. She said girls aren't as active in the womb as boys are. Also, when I did the needle and thread old wives tale, it showed boy. I also did the Chinese gender predictor and it showed a boy. I know these aren't reliable but, I've had so many people tell me that they carried their sons the way I'm carrying this one and with the dr even questioning it, it makes me wonder. Can you look at this and tell me what you think?? Oh by the way, the dr that did the ultrasound did write "girl" on the ultrasound however he told me to keep all tags on the clothes I bought. What do you think?

    im curious to know if they're is any urine test for gender predictor that is accurate and would tell me if im having a boy or girl. has anyone used one and it worked how much are they and are they accurate and how far along do you have to be?
    it dont matter to me i just want a healthy baby , but i would like to know so i can buy pink or blue

    • ANSWER:
      There's an old wifes tale test that involves draino. However, it is dangerous and doesn't work. I've tried it with mine and had different reslults ~ I have all boys.
      Other than that there is no test that will tell you the gender of your baby with out ultrasound or amnio.
      Good luck with your baby and don't worry. God will give you the gender that suits you best right now.

  35. QUESTION:
    Did anyone have a "gut instinct" or maternal instinct on their baby's gender and were right?!?
    I have a feeling, a strong feeling, that I am having a girl. I am 11 weeks. I have one girl now who is almost 4, so I would like to have a boy this time around. Of course, I will be happy with either. And my little one wants a sister.
    I don't know why I feel like it's a girl. The chinese gender predictor says boy. Most old wives tales point to boy, but it's just a feeling. Anyone have any stories about their instincts being right or wrong??

    • ANSWER:
      Believe in yourself! you might be having a girl. It's that motherly instinct, after all...

  36. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor?! Did it work for you?!?
    I've seen a lot of gender predictors online...and most of them all say boy (still dont know what i'm having)..although many of these sites are inaccurate. I tested the theory with my mom and my siblings and most of the sites were incorrect...until I found THIS site...it matched all my four siblings and I correctly and its the only site that said i'm having a girl instead of a boy! Just curious if other people (who have kids, or know what they are having) would go to this link and see if it worked and was accurate for them...I would love to know if i really had a good chance of it being a girl...cause i figure if EVERY person who goes to this site gets accurate results then maybe it does work after all...

    http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    ps. I really don't care what i'm having, boy or girl i'll still be really happy! Its just so fascinating and I can't wait to find out!
    Just an FYI make sure you put in the date you CONCEIVED! not your last period! I know a lot of people put in their last period and that makes it incorrect...
    Haha thanks to all that took it...

    • ANSWER:
      Wrong for all three of my children.

  37. QUESTION:
    did you use a gender predictor test?
    I wonder about those tests that tell you if you have a girl or a boy, that are about 30 dollars? How accurate are they and at how many weeks?

    • ANSWER:
      I used Fortune baby gender prediction test for both my pregnancies, and it was correct both times!
      They also have useful pregnancy tools. Good luck!

  38. QUESTION:
    Gender predictor? Does it work for you?
    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone who has kids can try this neat predictor and tell me if it works for you. It says im having 4 kids, boy-girl-girl-boy...:D Can you try it and tell me what it says for you and if its right? Thanks!

    A thin necklace or thread will work just fine.
    A ring that has a little weight to it. Material doesn’t matter, or even a round flat washer will work.
    Flat surface.

    Thread the ring with the necklace etc. Holding the unclasped necklace with your thumb and pointer finger so it can move freely.
    Lay your wrist palm side up on a flat surface “table, washing machine, car, etc”
    Dangle the ring over your wrist without touching but still close to your wrist “ ” I always have my other elbow resting firmly on the table while doing this. Do not move either arm until this is done.

    The ring should start making a circular motion. Above your wrist, yes you are doing it right. Sometimes it may do this for several seconds.

    Then you will notice it will start going in a certain direction “ either “ swinging across your wrist which means a GIRL or from elbow to fingertip which means a BOY. Sometimes it will swing for quite a few seconds.

    Ok so lets say yours went across your wrist from left to right, right to left either way it’s a GIRL.. ok keep holding it very still and if you are having another baby it will start making that circle motion again like it did in the beginning .

    Each time it starts a new circle it means another baby… so lets say this time it goes up and down your wrist.. Ok that means a BOY.
    You keep doing this process until the ring comes to a almost complete stop and sometimes will just hang and bob a little.
    That’s all there is to it! It will not only say the sex of your children but even the order you would have them.

    Now I must tell you this as I feel it is only right but it does show all miscarriages, abortions or still births.
    So keep that in mind if you have already had a couple children and lets just say you had 2 miscarriages at some point and are now doing this.

    Keep in mind that what ever the birth order showed you while doing this will show the babies you lost.

    So you have lost 2 and your test shows Girl, Girl, Boy, Boy, you would know that your next baby would be a boy since you already had/lost the first 2.

    This is all there is to it and it really does work! Not sure how it works but it does. You can do it on anyone at any age too!

    What It Means?

    Circle =‘s another baby
    Across wrist =‘ a GIRL
    Up & Down arm =‘ BOY
    If it doesn’t do anything but just hang and not move =‘s No children

    It says I will have boy. Girl girl boy. I have a son currently so so. Far
    it's correct for me!

    • ANSWER:
      WOW.. im pregnant with a boy and it showed a boy i also just done it on my mum and there is only 3 of us here but it show up all 6 the two miscarriages that she didnt know the sex of and one still birth that she did know was a girl and it done it in the correct order !
      really freaky me and my mum are here baffled.. thanks for this x

  39. QUESTION:
    have you ever had an instinct about what you were having, (boy or girl), and been wrong?
    i have read about women saying, I just KNOW that it is a ..., and that they were right. when i was pregnant with my son, i had a feeling that i was having a boy, and turns out, he is! with my current pregnancy, from the beginning, i just knew that it was a girl. my pregnancy has been completely different from my pregnancy with my son, and i even have a name ready for a little girl. i have not bought any clothes, but my mother in law does have a big bag of beautiful little girls clothes passed down from older grandchildren that she has been saving for me. almost everyone has been calling the baby "she", even my almost 3 year old son. i am carrying like a girl, and all the "gender predictors" online say its a girl. but the ultrasound says its a boy! could i really be that clueless? honestly the "penis" does not look anything like what my son's did in his ultrasound. i am so confused, of course i will love my baby, regardless, even if it comes out with a tail! lol but am i crazy for not believing that it is a boy?

    • ANSWER:
      I thought it was a boy and it turned out to be a girl. We had them check it three times. Maybe you could wait a few more weeks and go get a 4D ultrasound?

  40. QUESTION:
    gender predictor, and how many kids you will have?
    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone who has kids can try this neat predictor and tell me if it works for you. It says im having 4 kids, boy-girl-girl-boy...:D Can you try it and tell me what it says for you and if its right? Thanks!

    Thank You again and I hope you have fun with this.

    • ANSWER:
      well... I have one girl so far...

      I did this, and I swung sideways first for girl
      and then did a circle
      and then went up and down for a boy.

      But I really want 3 babies. So, where is my third?! :(

  41. QUESTION:
    Is this gender predictor right for any of you?
    I found a gender predictor site that does all the work for you! Just put in the dates and it will calculate boy or girl for you. I was wondering if this one worked for anyone? (Try it out)
    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html
    La Vie Boheme, it is just for fun. It's supposed to be the chinese calendar, so lunar calendar. And it's not just the mother's age, but the mother's age in combination with the conception month. And it only needs to be exact if it is the very beginning or very end of the month because that can affect the lunar month.

    • ANSWER:
      Said I am having a boy which is what I think but I don't know =]

  42. QUESTION:
    Question about the 'carrying high or low' gender predictor?
    My baby is RIGHT below the belly button & im currently 16 weeks..is it possible that even though the baby is considered to be low, that i could end up with a girl? Id like to know if anyone else carried a boy high, or a girl low?

    • ANSWER:
      i'm carrying high-er this pregnancy--and its a girl. but i'm still not carrying very high, just higher than i did with my son. with my son i carried very low...
      i don't think its an accurate way to tell but its fun and something to do. its interesting to see which ones are true for me....

  43. QUESTION:
    Did the Chinese Gender Predictor give you accurate results?
    I am 13 weeks and anxious to find out if I am having a boy or girl. Did it work for you? I know this isn't 100% but I just want to know.

    http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm

    • ANSWER:
      Your link is wrong, but this link was right for both my two now, and my sisters three kids. I am unsure if it will be this time, I'll find out in Jan.

  44. QUESTION:
    What do you think you are having...boy or girl?
    I am a victim of old-wives tales!!! I love them! So, when I take gender-predictor quizzes and look at old-wives tales, it says I will be having a girl. The Chinese Birth Calendar says I will be having a boy. I will be happy either way, but I just enjoy the excitement of the guessing game...even though it's a 50/50 shot!!
    What do you think you are having?
    For those who know already, what did you think versus what you will be having or had?
    I find out on 7/14/08 and I am so thrilled (I'm currently 17 wks, 3 days)!!!
    Oh, I forgot to say what I think I am having...a girl!! Even w/out the old-wives tales, I still feel that way! We'll see! Again, I will be just as happy with a boy! I am just too thrilled to be having a baby!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh goodness...I was convinced I was having a girl!! According to the pencil test and ring test I should be having a girl, but according to the ultrasound where I saw a little pee pee and two testicals...IT'S A BOY! I was a little bummed at first (but I didn't let anyone know because) because I had my heart set on a little girl, etc. but now I can't wait for my little man to get here and I feel silly for ever having gotten upset over something like that!

  45. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Drano+Urine, the Ph+urine, or the Bleach+urine gender predictor tests?
    I am 17weeks +5days along, and I'm dying to know if I'm having a girl or boy. Ive read about many different (at home) gender predictors that some people swear by, so I thought Id try them out.
    I used first morning Urine with all of the tests, to make sure my diet wouldn'tt affect the results.
    First I tried the Bleach+urine test. You need a couple ounces of Urine in a cup, then you pour in a cap full of bleach. If it turns brown and foams up like 'Beer' = Boy If it hardly changes in colour, and only bubbles like 'Sprite' = Girl
    Next I tried the Ph+urine test. I used an aquarium Ph tester, and filled the test tube with urine. I put in three drops of the solution. If the result colour is Green = Boy If its yellow or orange = Girl
    I then tried the Drano+urine test, this you need to mix outside due to the fumes. I put two Tbsp of Crystal Drano in a glass jar, and mixed in a couple ounces of urine. After 10-15 seconds if the mixture turns brown = Boy If it hardly changes colour = Girl
    All of these test are only for Entertainment purposes, but I'm curious to see if they were accurate for me!
    I can tell you that my results for all of the tests were the same, a Girl! I go for my ultrasound in a few days, so hopefully I'll find out for sure what I'm having.
    Just wondering if anyone else has tried any of these tests?
    I was just reading the reply about the Chinese Gender chart. I tried this too, and it too came out as 'Girl'

    • ANSWER:
      I would be careful with what I expose my body and child too while pregnant. I am sure you will be able to find out though, you can usually tell by 17 weeks, and I found out I was having a boy at 16. Good luck and be careful!! Congratulations on the baby (girl?)

Gender Predictor Calender

Can You Really Choose Your Baby's Gender?
Gender selection of children is a controversial topic, particularly in terms of genetic therapy and the ethics of picking the sex of your child. While there certainly have been advances in the field of genetics, there are actually some natural and completely ethical things that you can do that will increase the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child. While no method is 100% accurate, if you are determined to have a boy or a girl, there are a few things that can be done to significantly increase your chances of conceiving the gender of your choice. Remember, the most important thing is to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do want to try to pick the gender of your child, it is possible. Here's what you need to know.

Differences in Sperm

The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, while the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y sperm are faster, smaller, more agile but they do not last as long as the "girl" sperm. The X sperm are bigger and move quite slowly. In addition to their overall speed, they have different preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does better in an acidic environment while the Y sperm prefer an alkaline environment.

How These Differences Affect Conception

Now that we have established the differences between the sperm that carry different chromosomes, it is important to understand how these differences can be used for natural gender selection. Once you have this information, you can begin trying to conceive a child that will be a specific gender.

If you want to have a boy, the timing is crucial. Since these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your intercourse as closely to ovulation as possible. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg before the X sperm do, increasing the chances that you will have a boy.

If you want to have a girl, you need to give the X sperm plenty of time to reach the egg. Since they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a few days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X sperm behind. They will have the time needed to travel up through the cervix to reach the egg and fertilize it.

  6. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Gender Predictor Calender?
    I have asked several of my firends and family memebers and all of them except one was accurate in determining was gender they were having or had. I was just curious on everyone else?
    oops I forgot to add the link if you guys want to check it out...

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html
    Thats right Sprout... I have know about this and I forgot to mention it... Thanks for bring it up... SO if anyone that says it was wrong try what Sprout mention and see if this changes the gender....

    • ANSWER:
      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  13. QUESTION:
    would you rather have.........????? & chinese calender predictor?
    ok so........ i have a beautiful daughter and me and my hubby are ttc and i was just wondering if you have a girl first what did you want or what do you want next or vice versa i think i would prefer another baby girl..... i know healthy baby is the most important thing that's my # 1 priority........ also those of you that used the chinese baby gender predictor did it work for you??? because i know people who swear that it works.........and 1 more question if my hubby has 4 sisters and he is the only boy are we more likely to have girls?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese chart was accurate for my first two kids. Its hard for many women to pinpoint conception which can put the accuracy off.

      A man's ability to pass on the sex of the baby can be inherited. If their father produced ten kids with only one being a boy, chances are that only boy will produce lots of girls too! You also see this in animals. Male cows, horses, goats, etc who pass on mostly female genes are favorable and those genes are kept in the line. Those that tend to throw the most females will most likely have sons who do the same. This tendency shows up ONLY in the males, not in females as the male chooses the gender.

  14. QUESTION:
    Pregnant : has you tried these gender predictors? were they right in your case?
    14 weeks and 4 days pregnant. i find out the gender at my next appt. and ultrasound at 18 wks...but in the meantime ive been trying some gender predictors FOR FUN...(the waiting game of pregnacy...lol) ive tried the needle and thread predictor as well as the chinese gender calender (which was used in ancient times, when having a boy child was extremely important to their culture) of coarse im not in NEED to know but its fun to take these tests. both said girl for me...what have they predicted for you? and were they predicted current?

    • ANSWER:
      The needle and thread told me girl and the chinese calendar also told me girl. I'm having a boy

  15. QUESTION:
    gender predictor tests...did it work for you?
    So i did an old wives tale gender predictor test. I'm confused or maybe it is right. But from what i hear a circle means a boy and back and forth is a girl. But when i did mine i got a back and forth, then circle, then back and forth. This is my second pregnancy, and I am having a girl. I tried it on other women and for all of them who had a boy it was back and forth, and for a girl it went in a circle as well. I also did the chinese calender one and it came out a girl. Has anyone tried any gender tests and had them come out right. I know it's just for entertainment but i am just curious.

    P.S i did have an ultrasound so i know it's definetly a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese one was right for me. But as for the other old wives' tales, it was pretty much 50/50.

    ill be 16 on august 14
    yeah im young :[
    but doesnt mean i wont make a good parent

    • ANSWER:
      You will be a great parent! But I have to say that if the chinese predictor actually worked, the chinese would actually not be conceving little girls to throw away like they do. The have so many little girls in orfiniges and just thrown away like dogs. Chinese always prey for boys and do their best to have boys so that when they grow up the boys will take care of their parents financially, if the Calendar actually worked, why are they still having little girls and throwing them away and sometime kill them because their goverment only permits one child per family. Read about it and you can learn alot from them. Its cruel but its also rellity.

      A will go with whatever God tends for me to have.

      Best of luck to you and your baby.

    Chinese Lunar calendar gender predictor?
    I was just wondering for who the chinese lunar calender worked and for who it didn't. We are TTC and according to the calendar if i conceive now thru november I'd have a boy. We'd be happy either way but are hoping for a girl. I tried the calendar for everybody i could think of and it was right. What are your experiences?
    Just wondering...
    Here's the calendar:
    http://www.holodeck.com/pregnancy/chinese-cal.html

    Thanx :o )
    Supposedly you have to check it with your chinese age (i think it's your age plus 1 year because they count your age from when you are in your mom's womb?!... something like that)
    So I am born in June 82 and I'm now 27 years old, but would be 28 in chinese age... It still would be a boy for me...

Gender Predictor Calculator

Baby gender selection a brief
Baby gender Selection techniquegives a great freedom to couples to plan their families as they deem it suitable. With advances in science, gender selection is fast becoming an affordable option for families around the world.

Scientific methods of baby gender selection

Selective abortion: An unfortunate use of science in which the gender of the foetus is determined through amniocentesis and gender selection is done by aborting the pregnancy if the foetus is not of the desired sex. This practice is majorly in vogue in countries where male child is preferred due to various socio-economic reasons.

Microsort: As of now, it is an expensive technique but future holds great promise. Baby gender selection is done scientifically by separating the male and female producing sperms. They are then employed to fertilize eggs by utilizing IVF (in vitro fertilization) or IUI (intrauterine insemination).

PGD or Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis: In this method of gender selection the gender of the embryo is determined before placing it in uterus for further development. This method is pretty controversial and is banned in many countries due to the legal, moral and ethical ramifications of the entire process.

There are also various natural methods that are practised throughout the globe to achieve baby gender selection.

Natural methods of baby gender selection

Diet: The proponents of this theory advocate having a monitored and regulated diet to achieve effective gender selection. A diet rich in magnesium and consisting of less than 2000 calories is said to increase the chances of conceiving a healthy baby girl while sodium, potassium and calories in excess of 2000 are said to produce baby boys.

Timing: This theory is based on the fact that the longevity and speed of male and female sperms vary considerably. So you can plan your intercourses so that the sperms of the chosen gender dominate when eggs are made available for fertilization. This involves keeping track of the ovulations and planning intercourses accordingly.

Ph Levels: Ph levels of the body are said to determine the gender of the baby. High alkaline levels are said to be conducive for conceiving a male child so intercourse can be planned accordingly.

  9. QUESTION:
    are height predictor calculators true? will i be close to this predicted height?
    i found this height calculator on a website and it said i would be 6 foot and im 17 right now im 5'10 and my parents height is my mom is 5'8 and my dad is 5'11 is this calculator true? heres the website i got it from http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welcome/height_predictor_results.html?start=1&gender=1&momft=5&momin=8&dadft=5&dadin=11&Submit=Calculate+Height

    • ANSWER:
      Is it the one where you just list you parents height and then it calculates? I mean those stuff are just predictors like when a child ages their growth charts are constantly being adjusted at 5 they'll grow to be 6'7" and then suddenly measured again at 10 they'll end up at 6'3." There's no real way to predict that, according to the calculator I'm suppose to be 5'11" max but I'm 6'1 so oh well.

  10. QUESTION:
    I want to see how accurate this gender predictor was for you?
    Since you are doing this with baby's you already have, make sure you enter the age you were when you concieved not when the baby was born or how old you are now. And obv. if you don't remember what month you concieved in count back from the bday (less if they were born early!)

    i really just want to see how accurate it is THANKS!.

    http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx
    well from what you all said it got 9 out of 13 of your answers right. Last time with our daughter it was correct and it's tell us girl again; which I've been suspecting so well see. But all in all that is 10 out of 14 correct!

    • ANSWER:
      I did this before my baby was born and it was accurate. I did a couple of different ones and they all were right on the money. When I went for my ultrasound and they asked me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby I said " i already know" and I told them and I was right...lol... but i mean it's a 50/50 chance anyways so it's easy to guess it right.

  11. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictors!!?
    Do you think they work?I have been to a few and I got different answer at a few of them.I found one that seems to be pretty accurate. According to this I'm having a girl.!! I have entered in a few of the mothers I knows information as well as my own and it was all accurate. Can you guys test it out for me so I know it its right. I don't want to get my hopes up. lol
    http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know what I'm having yet, but the chart doesn't really say what to do if your conception date was February 29th...since there's no such date most of the time, I could end up going either way depending on whether they count it as February or March.

  12. QUESTION:
    Another boy or girl question, chinese gender prediction?
    I know it is all old wives tales and what not, but im struggling to make to to my sexing scan and the intrigue is driving me nuts lol. Just wondered if any of you have tried a chinese gender predictor and if it was correct for you, assuming you know the sex. If you havent tried one and know the sex of your baby could you test it out for me and let me know if it is right or not.

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html <<< Link to predictor :D

    I know none of this is fact, im just having fun with it! Ive been told people find this calculator quite accurate ;)

    • ANSWER:
      With my first it was right.
      My second it was wrong, BUT when looking back at when I conceived it was believed to be right on my birthday. So if I go by the age 24 it is wrong, and if I go by 25 it is right.
      With this one it was right.

      I use to Google baby gender quizes, and fill them out to see what I was having. They were so much fun!

  13. QUESTION:
    What is your babys sex and...?
    I am pregnant with #4...my oldest is 7 and shes a girl..and then i have 2 boys. I am hoping and have my fingers crossed this one will be a girl as well.

Gender Predictor Chart

The Shettles Method For Choosing Your Baby's Gender or Sex: Does It Work? If So, How?
If you've found this article, you probably know at least a little bit about Dr. Shettle's methods of choosing the sex / gender of your baby and are wanting to know it really works before you go through all the trouble of following it. This article will briefly go over how and why the shettles method works. It will also discuss where it is a bit flawed (and leaves too much room for error) and provides tips on how you can overcome these shortcomings.

Shettles' Theory Explained In A Nutshell: No one can deny that there are two types of sperm: X (which comes from the mother) and Y (which comes from the father.) If the X sperm reaches and fertilizes the egg first, the couple will have a girl baby. If the Y sperm gets to and fertilizes the egg first, then the couple would conceive a baby boy.

The basis of Shettles' theory is that the X and Y sperm have inherent differences. The girl sperm (X) are said to be slower, but much stronger, and able to survive in a hostile vaginal environment for up to four days without weakening and dying off. The boy (Y) sperm on the other hand are said to be very fast moving, but to balance out nature, they are also much weaker dying off pretty rapidly in the vaginal tract.

With a bit of planning and calculation though, you can use these characteristics to your advantage. Below, I will discuss how and will also explain where there is room for error and what you can do to avoid the common mistakes which will effect your results.

Know When You Ovulate And Time Conception Based On Which Gender You Want: We now know that the girl sperm are very long lasting and that the boy sperm die off quickly. So, if you want a baby girl, you need to conceive well before you ovulate (optimally 3 days before) and then you need to stop trying. Doing so will allow the boy sperm time to die off before the egg is ready to be fertilized.

If you want a boy, you should have intercourse on the day of or after ovulation (and no earlier.) This will allow the boy sperm to be viable and present as the egg is released.

Obviously, knowing exactly when you ovulate is of the greatest importance. If you are off, even slightly, all of your work and planning could be for nothing. Some of the methods used to predict ovulation are basal temperature and cervical mucus readings and therein lies the problem. These methods leave way too much room for error and many women (myself included) have trouble interpreting the results.

I had much higher success using ovulation predictor kits, but had trouble with urine models. I just was not getting a positive results. A friend of mine gave me a saliva predictor and it made all of the difference. You can see even small changes and this gives you a heads up that ovulation is approaching. They are reusable and inexpensive.(Turns out, I was ovulating very late in my cycle and not on the typical day 14 as I thought. Once I knew this, I was able to adjust.)

Use Intercourse Positions That Will Favor Having The Son Or Daughter You Want: If you want a boy, you will obviously want to give this vulnerable and weaker sperm the shortest trip to the egg as is possible. To do this, you should use sexual positions that place the sperm as close to the egg / cervix as you can manage. For most, this is deep penetration.

If you are trying for a girl, you should use shallow penetration, as this will give the boy sperm a longer, more strenuous trip (and the girl sperm will have no problem with this.) Of all of the shettles activities, this one is the easiest to achieve with the least room for error.

Alter PH And Acidity Depending On Whether You Want A Boy Or A Girl: So, hopefully by now we know that the girl sperm thrive just fine in a highly acidic (hostile) environment, while the boy sperm really struggle.

So, if you want a daughter, you should create the highest, most acidic PH that you can manage. If you want a boy, you'll need to be proactive to bring your PH down (usually pretty significantly as many women are naturally a bit acidic.)

The problem here is that most women have no idea where they fall on this scale. So, they are kind of flying in the dark or shooting blind. But, you can easily find out where you are by using PH testing strips that you can get in online or at a health food store. Once you know where you fall on the acidity scale, you can then make the necessary changes and complete the necessary action to get where you need to go.

You can change your acidity by following a specific diet and consuming and avoiding certain foods (again depending on which gender you are going for.) You can also douche with specific solutions depending on where your reading was. (Using both methods is the fastest way to do this, but you can do it through food only if you are opposed to douching.)

And, you can monitor your results (and see how much further you have to go) by continuing to test with the strips until you reach your ideal level.

So, What's The Verdict?: So, does shettles work or not? I believe that it does. It did for me and for many people that I know. However, there is a lot of room for error. Luckily, there are tools and methods that allow you to gauge what you need to do (and how well you are doing it) correctly. If you can maximize your efforts every step of the way, then I believe that this tactic does greatly increase your chances of having the gender that you want.

I've put together a couple of sites which I hope will take the guess work out of naturally choosing your baby's sex via the shettles method. I've provided step by step instructions and links to resources for the food lists, douche recipes, and PH testing strips mentioned in this article.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  2. QUESTION:
    what do you think about gender predictor chart?
    i am 23 and i think i concieved in june ( i dont know bc i never got my postpartum menstrual and my OB told me i am more or less 8w5d) and i have looked up (for fun) the chinese gender chart and some told me girl and the other boy so now i dont know which to follow anyways the majority told me girl... was it correct for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It told me I was having a boy, I'm having a girl.

      They are fun to play around with, but far from accurate.

  3. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Gender predictor chart really work?
    Im curious to know because my friend just got pregnant and cant wait to know the gender of her baby, but we are sceptical about it. So i wanted to know if anyone you know or if you have tried it and how accurate it worked for you. THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      With my first, it predicted a boy and it was right :)

      With my second, it predicted another boy - but I had a girl :)

      Its not accurate at all, its just a bit of fun. Its easy for people to say its accurate - because really, the chart has a 50% chance of being right which is quite a high chance.

      But definitely don't go rushing out for pink if it says girl, or blue if it says boy - wait for the scan :)

      I totally understand how she feels though! I did so many gender prediction tests online, and I literally couldn't sleep the night before my 20 week scan (both pregnancies) :)

      Edit: What about people who have twins, one boy and one girl - the chart must be completely wrong for them!

  14. QUESTION:

    and how exactly is it supposed to work lol

    • ANSWER:
      I wondered the same thing!

      I am 17 weeks right now and finding out the gender on November 3rd at my next ultrasound!

      However in the mean time I have been taking online tests, and quizes, looking up old wives tales, using chinese gender charts...you name it...trying to guess what the baby might be!

      Of course if you ask 100 people , half of them will say certain old wives tales applied to them, others will say they had the opposite sex of what the old wives tales predicted!

      Same with the gender calander ...its only ever going to be 50% accurate! The ones I have all checked say Im having a girl....I guess we will wait and see on November 3rd :)

  15. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese gender predictor really work?
    I recently checked out a website that I was referred to on this site, and I came across a chinese gender predictor chart. I am just curious whether or not this chart is widely accepted in the world as accurate? I know that it can't be 100% sure but does anybody have an idea of how accurate this tool can be?

    • ANSWER:
      This chart works 50% of the time, and that's about as good as it will get. China actually has laws that prevent people from having more than one child, and most families prefer to have a boy. With that being said, China has more homeless girls than boys and if the Chinese gender predictor chart actually worked, then this issue with so many homeless girls would not be as much of a disaster in China as it is right now. It's nice to believe that you can predict gender based on a date or something like that but this is false. If you want a real prediction you have to get an ultrasound or take matters into your own hands. Technology is getting better every year and you'd be surprised to find out that people can now determine whether they are having a boy or girl on their own. It's probably expensive though.

  16. QUESTION:
    Was the Chinese gender chart predictor right with you?

  17. QUESTION:

  19. QUESTION:
    chinese gender predictor chart....true?
    anyone have it predict and be true?? i went to the site it said im having a girl but then i heard ur supposed to add a year or 2 onto your age....well im 20 y/o...21 in may. i concieved around march 4-6...my question is how old should i put in the chart for the "lunar" years or watever, everyone says im having a boy but this site that EVERYONE swears by says girl. thanx!

    • ANSWER:
      I checked for my Mum and it was right for all 3 of us kids, then I checked for me and it was right about my girls.
      Then my cousin fell pregnant and I checked for her and it said boy and she did indeed have a boy. We were all really annoyed because she didn't find out via ultrasound she made us all wait!!
      So because it has a good track record with my family I used it to try and conceive a boy and yep I'm currently 36w pregnant with a little boy!!!

      The chart I used you put your actual age at the month of conception.

      Its all a bit of fun really, nothing can ever really give you a definite until you give birth and see with your own eyes whether or not there's girly bits or boy bits :-)

  20. QUESTION:

    Chinese gender chart?
    Have any of youhad any luck with the Chinese gender predictor chart? I know these things are usually just for fun, but I'm curious.

    My husband and I are just about ready to start trying for baby #1 next month, and according to the chart, we would have a boy. I think you're supposed to use the chart according to your LUNAR age though, so when I check according to my LUNAR age, it still says we'll have a boy.

    Just wondering how accurate this was for you! Thanks!
    Cool! Yeah, I don't really subscribe to this stuff either, but it can be a spooky coincidence! I've heard that this is surprisingly accurate. So, if we concieve next month we can likely look forward to a baby boy. I hope

    • ANSWER:
      The one on iVillage is accurate for me and my whole family! I really don't believe in that stuff though.. but it is a creepy coincidence.

  24. QUESTION:

  26. QUESTION:
    chinese gender predictor charts?
    i have tried a couple of these online and seem to get a mix of answers some say boy and some say girl just wondering if you tried them and how accurate you found them. and a reliable one to try?

    • ANSWER:

  27. QUESTION:
    are the birth charts gender predictor any accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the Chinese birth chart and it has gotten it right for both my pregnancies. However, in my opinion, their accuracy is only 50% and my results are a complete fluke! There is no accurate way to tell the gender of your baby until it is born as even ultrasounds can be read incorrectly!

      Good luck!

The chinese chart gender predictor told me I'm having a boy but I have a hard time believing that every woman my age that concieved in june is having a boy aswell.

      You can't, you'll have to wait for an ultrasound.

  29. QUESTION:

  30. QUESTION:
    Baby gender predictor charts...what do you guys think of them?
    I am 7 weeks pregnant and visited 9 different websites that predict the baby's gender based on age and month of conception. (I am 21 with conception in January.) The majority of the results say boy, but one website I have visited for years since I was pregnant with my now 5 year old son, BabyZone.com, says it is going to be a girl. Three websites said girl, five websites said boy, and one website said based on the month it would be a boy...but based on my age I am 92% likely to have a girl. Does anyone have an opinion on those things? And when they say "conception" does it mean the night we were intimate, or the first day of my last period? Since the month and year did change between LMP and "conception".
    We tried the ring on a necklace thing (old wives tale) and it said girl, and we conceived after I ovulated, if that matters. It doesn't matter to me what the gender is, we are excited for either, just wanted some opinions. Thanks everyone!

    • ANSWER:
      I think that they have no bearing whatsoever on what you will have, because there's no way for them to know which gender chromosome from your partner reached the egg first. The only reason it is accurate for a lot of people is because 50/50 is a pretty decent percentage.

    • ANSWER:
      Don't be ridiculous! Enter anything.

      It has exactly the same chance of being correct as I do if I make a wild guess. 50%.

      It isn't even Chinese. It was invented by some bored staff on an American parenting magazine! The institute they say the original is held in doesn't exist. It's nonsense.

      The Chinese Gender chart has a 50/50 chance of being right. For my mother it was right for all 3 of her children, it was right for all of my cousins, and it was right for me. But for others it's wrong.

  39. QUESTION:
    Is the chinese gender predictor accurate in determing your babys sex?
    If so how does it work, I am 28 so whats my lunar age? my bday is aug 31st. If the month conceived was this month what would my babys sex be? (according to the chart)?

    • ANSWER:

    • ANSWER:
      1. Girl
      2. 130-140
      3. No
      4. NA
      5. No
      6. NA
      7. No
      8. NA
      10. Yes (both)
      11. high?
      12. 4
      13. Yes
      14. I was sure we were having a boy! :)
      15. NA

  45. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender Predictor, Was it right for your baby?
    This method has proven right for almost everyone I know that had a baby. Was yours right? Pls count back from the "month" you conceived your baby, and "how old" you were at the time.

    If the month and your age adds up to an even #, baby is a boy.
    If the month and your age adds up to an odd #, baby is a girl.

    Example:
    Age 30, Conceived in January. 30 + 1 (for Jan) is 31, Odd = Baby Girl
    Age 20, Conceived in February, 20 + 2 (for Feb) is 32, Even = Baby Boy

    Was yours correct? Pls give testimonial so I see how close this is.. The Chiinese Gender Chart is confusing and hard to rely on.

    • ANSWER:
      No it wasn't right for me. I was 20 and conceived in February which equals 22 and should mean I'd have a boy but I had a little girl. :)

      EDIT: Eibhlinn: this is just for fun. I'm sure no one really believes in it, geez.

Gender Predictor Chinese Calendar

How To Choose The Gender Of Your Baby By Ashley Spencer - A Review
How To Choose The Gender Of Your Baby, by Ashley Spencer is a popular book, the contents of which are rather self-explanatory! There is a great demand for information to help couples to choose the sex of the baby they are hoping to conceive. Very often, couples do not "admit" to really wanting a boy or a girl but tend to give the stock answer that "it doesn't matter as long as the baby is healthy".

In times gone by, there quite simply didn't need to be the emphasis on choosing whether or not to have a girl or boy. Families were naturally larger and the odds were stacked against having several children of the same sex. Nowadays, with the average family consisting of two or three children, the odds are much higher that you might have all same-sex children.

Options for couples who are looking for information on how to choose the gender of your baby are quite limited really. Expensive gender selection clinics are only available in certain parts of the world and the costs are quite prohibitive. In addition, the procedure often involves the couple spending time away from home (difficult if you have young children) and a pregnancy cannot be guaranteed.
Other options include rather dubious techniques based around astrology, old wives tales and hearsay and for obvious reasons, these are shunned by most couples.

How To Choose The Gender Of Your Baby by Ashley Spencer fills the gap in the market. The style it is written in is easy to understand, yet authoritative and informative. Ashley has helped around 12,000 couples conceive a baby of their chosen sex, claiming an impressive success rate of almost 95%. What started off as a personal quest quickly spread by word of mouth and eventually, Ashley condensed her methods into a book. By harnessing all the successful elements of existing methods (such as Shettles, Ericson, Jonas and the Microsorting Method) she has put together a comprehensive, yet easy to understand 3 Step Plan, having tried hard to cut out the "dross" and concentrate on the important elements.

The three steps on which her book is based on are

1. Timing and pH levels

2. Dietary adjustments

3. Assigning specific intercourse positions, techniques and methods

What she does do is outlaw many of the older, less effective and, some would say, dubious techniques which still abound on many websites and all of the methods she advocates in her book are based on scientific principles.

A couple of things I particularly like about How To Choose The Gender Of Your Baby, by Ashley Spencer are the real-life testimonials, often accompanied by photos or even videos and the free mini course which she offers if you register your name and email address on the website. Ashley puts a lot of emphasis on her testimonials and confirms that they are all genuine. The email course is simple to understand and will give you lots of guidance even if you are not wanting to buy the book.

To see details of this fully guaranteed, comprehensive risk-free method please visit Pick Your Baby's Gender. Rather than being one of the many couples who leave matters to chance, take control and be proactive. How To Choose The Gender Of Your Baby by Ashley Spencer is certainly worthy of consideration.

    Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar???
    I don't trust it's results, but I need to admit it is fun when you are pregnant and you are courious about the gender of your baby and you play around trying to guess what you are having, what it bothers me about those calendars is that one tells you one sex and another calendar tells you the opossite, Like I said brfore I don't trust its results, but if they are all Chinese Calendar, shouldn't all of them come up with the same result, if they are based on the same criteria to determine the sex of your baby? I was just wondering.

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the same thing and it always told me I was having a boy. I even found one that would predict the gender based on the day of delivery. Hello, by the time you deliver most people have had an ultrasound to determine the gender. But mine always said boy and I have the most beautiful baby girl so you can't always trust them.

    Supposedly you have to check it with your chinese age (i think it's your age plus 1 year because they count your age from when you are in your mom's womb?!... something like that)
    So I am born in June 82 and I'm now 27 years old, but would be 28 in chinese age... It still would be a boy for me...

    • ANSWER:
      Well I conceived in July of 2008 and according to the calendar my daughter is supposed to be a boy.

  16. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor?
    Has anyone found success with this? Just wondering about it's accuracy... it has been correct for all my friends and family, for reals! I am 33 weeks pregnant and want to know the gender... the baby was hiding during my 18 week ultrasound and so we couldn't tell the sex... and my doctor won't order another ultrasound because everything is proceeding as per normal (thank God). So, how many people consulted the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar, and how many of those found correct results? Just curious.... thanks for you help.
    Mine says a girl by age of conception (31 and conceived in October), but it says a boy by lunar age (age at conception plus two). Aaaaargh!

  18. QUESTION:
    Chinese Sex Gender Birth Predictor...Is it real?
    I was recently surfing the web and I happened to come across a wonderful website called stumbleupon.com. Its amazing check it out. Anyway, as I was stumbling, I came ascrosss an ancient Chinese gender chart. Now on this chaart it (supposedly) tells you (by age of the mother t conception and month of conception) what gender your baby will be. Now I really want to have a boy and by the looks of this chart I only have untill the end of this month to get pregnant or else I will only get pregnant with girls for the rest of the year. I really dont care either way if I have a boy or girl any baby is a gift from God. I just wanted to know If anyone else thinks this chart is true...so check it out and let me know what you think.
    babymed.com/tools/other/chinese_gender_calendar/Chart.aspx
    I also looked at the cahrt to figure out if it was true for my mother (who has 2 kids me and my little brother) and it turned out to be right

    • ANSWER:
      I asked this question about this time last year when I was pregnant and saw the Chinese gender chart. It turned out to be wrong, I was supposed to have a boy.
      Gender has nothing to do with a Chinese chart. Obviously there is no way that the chart could see into everyone's sperm in the world and always be correct. Since there are only two choices for gender, it is always fifty-fifty, no matter what. It's just like any other old wives tales. The gender of a child is decided by which type of sperm fertilizes with the egg. And I hate to say it, but if this thing were true, there wouldn't be any women in China trying to conceive during the months that would produce girls. And with the amount of abortions there are over there, and the amount of women getting pregnant over and over until they have sons instead....the chart isn't something to take seriously.

  19. QUESTION:
    HOW ACCURATE HAS THE CHINESE LUNAR GENDER PREDICTOR BEEN FOR MUMS AND MUMS TO BE?? REALLY CURIOUS TO KNOW?
    I am expecting my 2nd child and would love to have a girl, as I already have a beautiful son, I tried the chinese lunar calendar and it said I would be having a girl. I know its down to chance, but I wanted to see if anyonelse found and any accuracy in this at all?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on which one you look at, somehow they're not all the same, though you think they would be. The one I looked at was on the money with both of my kids, but not for all my friends. Lol.
      Good luck!

  20. QUESTION:
    How do you use the chinese calendar for predicting the gender of a baby?
    I have gone to several websites to do the chinese predictor but some of vauge directions, like take age and month you conceived and then some say to add 9 months to your age when you concieved and then cross refrence with the month you conceived. Does any one know how you are supposed to do it because i am getting to different answeres.

    • ANSWER:
      how about this......don't (none of the so-called predictors work anyway)...just be happy whatever the baby's sex is and hope that it is healthy

  21. QUESTION:
    Chinese calendar, baby predictor - was it correct for you?
    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if any of you, whether pregnant or already mothers, ever looked at that Chinese gender prediction chart and if it was correct in predicting the gender of your pregnancies?

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!

      My husband and I are also planning to have a baby soon.
      I also have the same question. I know many people that say it has worked for them and others who say it didn't. But I heard the trick is that you must use your chinese age, which is 2 years old then your age.

      Best Wishes

  22. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Lunar gender predictor work?
    This test has worked for me in the past, but I hear from many women that it was wrong for them. Perhaps they are forgetting to put their chinese age (add a year)? If you go to these websites and try; www.babygenderpredictiontest.com, or www.bounty.com/pregnancy/GenderGuesser, or www.select-baby-gender.com/chinese-lunar-calendar.aspx see what you get.
    I personally prefer the www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred as you have to enter your time zone as well. See how you go as I am interested in the results.

    • ANSWER:
      That's awesome! I did it before but I didn't know you had to add a year and all that good stuff. It was right this time. I had a boy. Thanks for putting that on here!

  23. QUESTION:
    baby gender myths that really work?

But anyways the heart beat was a little fast, over 140, and when I did the wedding ring myth it said it was a girl, but then I did the chinese gender predictor calendar thing, but it said I was having a boy. So like I said before I was wanting to know if anybody had any luck with any myths, and if so can you tell me what they were so I can try. Thank you so much!

  27. QUESTION:
    Has anyone else had a feeling your baby is a certain sex and actually been right?
    Ever since i got pregnant I've always thought that it was a girl. Most of the myths and the chinese gender predictor calendar point to a girl lol has anyone else just known what their baby was and been right about it? I dont have my ultrasound to find out if its a boy or girl till April 18th so i was just wondering what other people have experienced. I just have this very strong feeling that im going to have a girl

    • ANSWER:
      my hubby and I always thought we were having a boy and we did. found out at birth. Can't wait to find out with this one I WANT THE GIRL NOW

  28. QUESTION:
    I'm nine weeks pregnant and so curious to know if the chinese calendar really works! just for fun!?
    The chinese gender predictor says i'm having a girl! My last period was in october 19 but I conceived in november and my age in conception was 19. I read what other woman experienced and one said, " if you have your LMP and the the month of conception in two different months then you should use the month where you had your LMP as the the month you conceived! so in that case it would be a boy! so now i'm confused! but does anyone have any experiences they like to share, or if the chart really worked for them or not.
    By the way i'm happy with what ever comes.

    just for fun!!!
    Thanks!!

    Gender predictor Using Lunar Calendar.?
    Hi,

    My wife is 25 weeks pregnant now and i am very curious to know the baby gender. While exploring i found one Chinese Lunar link which predicts exactly perfect for those who had baby. I would like to know if this works for u as well. Please try this and let me know.

    Thanks
    GuruS

    • ANSWER:
      I used a chinese gender chart, but it was wrong for me. If you want an accurate gender predictor, try fortunebaby.com, i used their gender prediction test and it was right.

  30. QUESTION:
    Im 4 months pregnant and everyone is telling me is a girl?
    because of the way my belly is. I also did the gender predictor and chinese calendar and they all say girl. Are all these are true should I beleive it

    • ANSWER:
      The only way to know for certain is to have the baby. I only say that because my brother was "a girl" based on ultrasounds and everything until he was born, and whoops, he was a boy and my mom's heart was broken (she already had a boy). Anyway, by the belly thing, do you mean like you are carrying the baby high/low or something? I've heard that but it's not 100%. You can believe them or in about a month an ultrasound should be able to tell you. Either way, congratulations!

  31. QUESTION:
    21 Year Olds and the Chinese Conception Calendar!!?
    ...Hello there! Have been inspired by a fellow yahoo answerer to ask this question, maybe for a bit of validity, maybe just to see how accurate this method has proven for some of you ladies out there :]

    I was pregnant aged 21 with my little girl.. I have to admit, I was referred to checking the chinese gender calendar for a bit of fun before I knew what I was having, and it proved right in my case. I was REALLY surprised though that this calendar depicted that nearly ALL women aged 21 when they fell pregnant, would have a little girl unless they conceived in January. Ha!? How can this be possible I hear you say?!

    ...I would love to see how many of you were pregnant at 21 and proven right/ wrong by this calendar. Also, feel free to tell me your experiences with this "predictor", regardless of your age!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this calender is only just for fun, but I believe it to be very accurate. When I was 19 it said I'd have a boy and that is what happen. The second time I was 25 and it said that I was having a girl and that is what I got. Every time someone I know gets preggers, I refer to it and every single time with out fail it is correct. It may just be a fluke, I don't know. I'm sure that its not right for everybody though.

  32. QUESTION:
    When you were pregnant did you know what you were having before an ultra sound confirmed the gender?
    Everyone is telling me I'm having a boy. I took that chinese calendar baby gender predictor (for fun) and it also says boy. I just kinda get a boy vibe from it, I thought it was a boy before anyone said it was, I know a lot of mothers have no clue and even more of them want the opposite of what they want. I would LOVE a girl (id be ecstatic) but I just kind of think I'm having a son. How many of you could tell what your baby was going to be? Did any of you think you would have a boy and it turned out to be a girl? (Or vice versa?) Please no rude answers, every time I ask a harmless question a few *ss holes leave me messed up rude as hell answers.

    • ANSWER:
      I took fortune baby gender prediction test in my first trimester, and it said i am having a girl, and my 20 wk ultrasound confirmed it! i was very skeptical at first, but now i know it works, couple of my friends used that test too. Good luck!

  33. QUESTION:
    baby gender predictor?
    does anyone believe in the chinese lunar calendar baby predictor? if so.. how accurate was it for you?

    according to it, i am having a boy but dont find out until 11th june

    • ANSWER:
      I believe it. I hope it will be right for me. It says Im havin a boy too and I reli want a boy! Find out on thursday!

  34. QUESTION:
    Baby gender predictor?
    Has anyone ever use the chinese lunar calendar where it predicts if your going to have a boy or girl, and did it work for you. If not then give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

    http://www.babygenderprediction.com/chinese-gender-chart.html

    • ANSWER:
      Its just something fun based on myths. Some can be true for you and some not, just depends on the person Iguess. It was right for 2 out of 3 of my kids. If you are over 20 weeks along...if you belly is high its most likely a girl, low its most likely a boy, thats always worked for me and people i know. Good luck!

  35. QUESTION:
    Old wives tales or not?
    I'm 6 weeks pregnant with #2 and my husband and i are really hoping for a boy this time. So far I've had no symptoms and have felt great. I hear that if you don't have morning sickness then it means you're having a girl ( I also didn't have any morning sickness with my 1st and I had a girl)
    And the chinese gender predictor calendar says I'm having a girl. Do you think this means that our chance of having a boy now is next to none?

    • ANSWER:
      I am 20 weeks pregnant and have had lots of morning sickness, infact I still get a little sick from time to time.......it's a girl by the way.

      Don't believe all those old wives tales and such, each and every pregnancy is different. You could be on #6, with 3 girls and 2 boys and still experiencing different things that you hadnt with the first 5, it really doesnt make a difference. Or even experience the same things as you did with your daughter and it end up being a boy.

      The only way to know for sure what it is, is to wait until it makes its way into the world.

      Congrats on the new baby!!

  36. QUESTION:
    Do you get annoyed with old wives tales?!?
    I do, I mean its 2010 for Heaven's Sake!

    I really want to scream next time I get told "ooh you're carrying low, its a girl!" or "you're craving chocolate?! Must be female!!" (what happens if you crave both sweet AND spicy foods?!?) or "Heartburn? Your baby will have lots of hair!!" (umm no its the pressure of the uterus against the stomach and the softening of the ring of muscle at the top of stomach due to the effects of progesterone allowing stomach acid to escape into the oesophagus, actually . . . .)

    I know you always get people who say "well it worked for me!" but thats because you have a 50% chance of being "right" either way and lets face it, 50% is good odds!

    I find this is worst of all with older women, perhaps because in their day not much was known or explained to them about pregnancy and childbirth. My husband's mother is the worst for these silly myths and she admits that although she had three kids she knows absolutely nothing about the facts of pregnancy. My own mum isn't much better - she really doesn't understand how the mechanics of pregnancy "work", despite having two children herself.

    Does anyone else feel like me - that they want medical facts and figures, not fairytales? Or do some people find old wives' tales comforting, because perhaps they are easier to understand than medical terminology, and they trust their aunties, mums and grannies more than they trust doctors and midwives?

    The only thing that has "worked" so far for me is the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar (boy last time, girl this time), but that doesn't mean I see it as anything other than a bit of fun and a lucky coincidence.

    It baffles me!
    It scares me silly that people beleive them! I can almost excuse it in my mum because of her age and her generation but hubby's mother is much younger and still beleives them!! She says she "doesn't want to know" the medical facts about pregnancy and prefers to rely on myths, old wives tales and "what happened to my friend". I'm sorry but that just scares the crap out of me, I need to be informed lol.

    I guess maybe women in the pre-internet days didn't have the opportunity to educate themselves as much as they do now, I'm not sure . . . but I see no excuse for young women today to beleive these fairytales . . .

    • ANSWER:

  37. QUESTION:
    Did this baby gender predictor work for you?
    Check out this website, and tell me if it was accurate for you!
    This Chinese lunar calendar is supposed to predict your baby's gender based on your age at conception, and the month you conceived. It was accurate for me and everyone I have sent it to.

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    • ANSWER:
      yes- with both my pregnancies! With my second I was convinced i was having a boy- but the chinese calendar said GIRL- and i insisted boy- and then at my ultrasound it was confirmed a girl- and what do you know I had another girl. So it was correct for both of my kids. It also was correct with my cousins son- and both of my sisters 3 kids- I've also read/heard that the chinese calendar thing is about 99% accurate!

  38. QUESTION:
    Babys gender?
    I am expecting my third baby. I have 2 boys and am hoping to have a girl this time. I used an ovulation calendar that tells you how to achieve girls or boys. Has anyone else used this? did it work? Has anyone tried the chinese gender predictor? did that work? I heard it is pretty accurate but was curious.

    • ANSWER:
      The sperm determines the sex of the baby. Sperm that produces boy babies is faster but doesn't live as long as the slower sperm that produces girl babies. The theory is that if you have sex a couple of days before ovulation that you will have a girl baby because all the boy sperm will be dead. Of course, this only works if you ovulate at the same time every month. Otherwise, you could ovulate early and the faster boy sperm would be the one to fertilize your egg.

  39. QUESTION:
    For those of you who have had children or are pregnant and know the sex of your baby?
    Use the chinese gender predictor and let me know if it was correct for you : )

    http://chinese-baby-calendar.info/

    http://www.babygenderprediction.com/chinese-gender-chart.html

    Either of these work.

    This has worked for 3 of my friends so I just want to see if it works for anyone else : )

      I used this chinese gender chart, it was correct for me!

    or
    http://www.babymed.com/chinese-gender-and-sex-calculator-calendar

    They are somehow similar but not completely!

    • ANSWER:
      only an ultra sound can tell you what you are having and even they can be wrong. i checked 2 different birth charts as a joke last time i was pregnant, one said boy one said girl. i had a boy.

  41. QUESTION:
    Are baby gender predictors accurate?
    I've heard that chinese calendars are accurate but I've used them to figure out babies of all of my friends and it was wrong a couple of times; I also tried the one at www.justparents.co.uk and I'm not sure there either...

    Doesn't the father's chromosome pretty much decide the gender anyway?

    • ANSWER:
      no. its just entertaining.

  42. QUESTION:
    Have you ever Taken tests online....?
    And seen the Gender predictor saying what your baby is?
    or have you tried out the Chinese calendar?
    Was it right?
    For me it was wrong!
    All signs pointed toward a boy but at my recent ultrasound it shows a Girl!!! =)

    • ANSWER:
      I did, I tried Fortune baby gender prediction test, and it was right for me, and the webiste is fun and has a lot of useful information for pregnant women. Check it out.

  43. QUESTION:
    What do you think you are having...boy or girl?
    I am a victim of old-wives tales!!! I love them! So, when I take gender-predictor quizzes and look at old-wives tales, it says I will be having a girl. The Chinese Birth Calendar says I will be having a boy. I will be happy either way, but I just enjoy the excitement of the guessing game...even though it's a 50/50 shot!!
    What do you think you are having?
    For those who know already, what did you think versus what you will be having or had?
    I find out on 7/14/08 and I am so thrilled (I'm currently 17 wks, 3 days)!!!
    Oh, I forgot to say what I think I am having...a girl!! Even w/out the old-wives tales, I still feel that way! We'll see! Again, I will be just as happy with a boy! I am just too thrilled to be having a baby!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh goodness...I was convinced I was having a girl!! According to the pencil test and ring test I should be having a girl, but according to the ultrasound where I saw a little pee pee and two testicals...IT'S A BOY! I was a little bummed at first (but I didn't let anyone know because) because I had my heart set on a little girl, etc. but now I can't wait for my little man to get here and I feel silly for ever having gotten upset over something like that!

A couple friends of mine are due within weeks of me and all are having girls, and we are all the same age pretty much just months apart. I will tell you its pretty accurate but i would still trust the ultrasound before i start to set up for a boy or girl. Congratulations, Good Luck to you and your wife and your soon to be new baby.

Gender Prediction Conception Date

Pregnancy Due Date Calculator Is A Very Practical Tool
There are a lot of important dates during the lead up to pregnancy as well as through the pregnancy term itself. A number of different charts and systems can be used to monitor the key dates during pregnancy, including online forms and charts which can be printed as a permanent record.

A popular and practical tool for monitoring key dates is a Pregnancy Due Date Calculator, often called simply a Pregnancy Wheel. The Pregnancy Wheel is made up of two circular plastic discs, which measure 114mm in diameter, or just over 4. One disc has the months of the year printed around the perimeter and the other disc is divided into the 42 week cycle with notations for the key dates during pregnancy.

The first key date shown on the Pregnancy Wheel is the first day of the last period, this represents the start of the first week of the 42 week cycle. The next date shown is the date of conception followed by the date of the first missed period. The GP will use these dates to determine the anticipated date of birth.

The Pregnancy Due Date Wheel also notates the first sixteen weeks following conception as the most likely term that a miscarriage could take place, also highlighting the key dates in each of the four week cycles. This takes the pregnancy through to the earliest possible quickening, the stage when fetal movement can be noticed, one of the most exciting stages of pregnancy when a new life can be felt.

Dates can be read off the Pregnancy Date Wheel right up to the forecast date of birth, which is usual between 36 and 40 weeks after the date of conception. This handy and compact tool is easy to use and can often be found at pharmacies and medical facilities. The Pregnancy Wheels are also used as promotional gifts by large companies who supply the health industry, the wheels are printed with their logo and information on their brands. Paper and card versions can often be found online and at pharmacy stores.

The comments and dates on Pregnancy Due Date Wheels, and in this article, should be used as a guide only, they refer to the Pregnancy Date product and are in no way intended to be used as advise. It is important to consult a GP or other health professionals for the important advice and care needed during pregnancy.

    My eldest sister, 35, is FINALLY pregnant with her first child. She's 14 weeks. We're chatting online and are trying to find all the silly gender prediction tests. We've done the one about the heart rate. The baby is at 159, so in theory, it would be a girl. We did the Chinese test based off her conception date, and it said boy. lol Other than the "string" test, what other fun tests could we use to predict the gender of her baby?

  8. QUESTION:
    Problem with my due date and LMP?!?
    On july 2nd i had an ultrasound that said I am 9w1d. I was given a due date of Feb. 3rd, 09.If i go back on a calendar, this means conception was around April 26-29th. (Which sounded right to me) But, if i go on one of those conception date things, and put in my due date it says May 13th was conception. BUT that would not put me at 9w1d on July 2nd. Confused?? My LMP was about Ap. 15th-20th. I am trying to figure this out for one of those gender prediction thingys. My question is this, should I go by the conception date predictor, or counting back on the calendar. I am 15W1D today. Sounds silly, but I am just curious. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If your periods are typically regular, I vote that you conceived around the 26th-29th. Those are the usual fertile cycles following the period. The gestation period accounts for the variances.

    #1 says:

  11. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy Advice.. Superstition, old wives tales, etc?
    Am currently about 7wks with my first midwife appointment next week.

    I want to tell my family after 12 weeks because of the whole bad luck/miscarriage business. I also know about the whole pram thing... I want to start buying things but when is best to wait until? (I have started saving aswell for anything else I may need) And are there any other superstitions etc?

    Also is there any way of telling gender before 18 weeks without an accurate conception date? I know which week it was but not the day as we have sex daily... Also has anyone found the Chinese gender prediction to be accurate? Uhh and is there anything else I need to know..

    Oh I take extra vitamins etc so know about that
    Do smoke and am not looking to give up but have cut down.
    Don't drink and have given up smoking weed as well

    So no lectures on health please as I am fully aware of things like that. Thanks in advance x :)
    Please don't give me the "if I loved my baby" I'd give up smoking. I love my baby don't insult me by suggesting I don't. I studied health and social care for years so I am well aware of the fact surrounding smoking and studies have shown smoking lowers birthweight.. (I smoked approx 10-15 before I found out and smoked weed and now I have less than 10 a day and no longer smoke weed). I do not smoke in the house and neither does anyone else so when the baby is born it will not be exposed to smoke. Hope this doesn't come across as too aggressive.

    • ANSWER:
      the chinese gender was wrong for me. Although the gold necklace over the palm worked for me. Cut down on coffee if you drink or tea or sugarly drinks. Get decent nutrition. Can't say too mcuh else other than you should quit ... but you know that so I'm out.

Gender Predictions

Boy Or Girl: Fun Ways Of Guessing Baby Gender It is absolutely normal for parents to get very anxious about their baby's sex. Some favor for a girl while others hope it's a boy this time. Nowadays, there are many ways for guessing baby gender. Of course, the most accurate and highly advised of which are medical processes like the ultrasound which can be perfromed after the 20th week of your pregnancy. Baby gender predictions are said to be more accurate based on the assumption of science. However, if you can't wait and you want to keep it a bit fun (though not necessarily available), there are a few old wives tales which claim to help couples in guessing baby gender. Below, we have listed down some of these tips.

High or low It is believed that how you carry your baby in your tummy is one of the best ways to guessing baby gender. If you're carrying it low, you are most likely to have a boy. Otherwise, if you are carrying it high, there is a big possibility of having a girl. This belief is argued by Science. Science claims that how you carry a baby does not have anything to do with baby gender. Rather, it is determined by factors like the position of the baby, your uterine tone and your muscles.

The urine says it Another baby gender prediction tip is through your urine sample. All you have to do is take a sample of your urine and mix it with Drano. After mixing your urine with Drano, check your urine color. If it turns out brownish, brown, black, blue orr bluish yellow, you will have a boy. On the other hand, if your urine looks blue, greenish brown, green or does not change at all, you are more likely to have a girl.

Heartbeat - The heartbeat is another way which can help you in guessing baby gender. It is believed that the fetal heartbeat is different among boys and girls. If you get a fetal heartbeat above 140, you will have a girl. If it is below 140, you will have a boy. Science, once again, argues with this belief. Science posts it that a baby's heart rate does not have anything to do with gender until the baby is born.

What you crave for It is said that your craving is based on the gender of your baby. If you crave for chocolates and other sweet pastries, you are more likely to have a girl. On the otther hand, craving for lemon juice and other sour cravings is an indication that you will have a boy.

Weight gain This does not refer to the mother. People believe that if your husband puts on weight while you are pregnant, you will have a girl. Otherwise, if he stays fit and does not gain any weight at all, you will have a boy.

Keep in mind that all the tips written above does not have any scientific basis. The best way to find out about your baby's gender is by taking an ultrasound exam.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Gender predictions...?
    Okay I know there is no way to predict the gender until you see the ultrasound but I want to know FOR FUN and from your pregnancy experiences what you think mine will be. I go to find out what Im having Feb. 8. I will be 16 weeks Friday and have gained no weight. I went to the doctor last week and I have LOST 3 lbs. The heartbeat was at 150. My cravings have been steak, ham sandwiches, lemons, cheese & saltine crackers, salad with italian dressing (because of the sourness of it.) & milk! So what do you predict????
    We are hoping for a boy but will defaintely be happy with whatever we are blessed with! I had nausea in weeks 7 & 8 & 14...other than that I havent been sick!

    • ANSWER:
      Do you have morning sickness. I didn't have any with my daughter. I craved Pickles because they were sour with her too. Try this old wife's tale. Hang a from a string if it swings back and fourth then it is a girl if it goes in circles its a boy. When I was pregnant with my little girl it went side to side.

      Try some of these fun and exciting wife's tales in predicting gender.

      http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/genderoldwivestales.asp

      You will have a boy if:

      •baby’s heart rate is under 140 beats per minute.
      •you are carrying low and in front
      •your urine is bright yellow
      •your right breast is bigger than your left
      •you don’t experience any morning sickness in the first trimester

      You will have a girl if:

      •baby’s heart rate is faster than 140 beats per minute
      •you are carrying high and all over
      •your urine is clear
      •your left breast is bigger than your right
      •you sleep on your right side

  4. QUESTION:
    How accurate are gender predictions with ultrasound?
    I recently got an ultrasound at 17 weeks 6 days (basically 18 weeks). I was told that I'm having a girl and the lady sounded VERY confident it was a girl and even pointed out the labia (and took an u/s picture and gave it to me labeled "girl parts!", haha). I just wanted to know how accurate these predictions are before I go out and buy baby girl clothes and stuff. I'm excited either way, though :)

    • ANSWER:
      hey i am a diagnostic medical sonographer...or ultrasound tech for short, it sounds so fancy the other way !! anyways, anytime between 17-20 weeks are when the external genitals are seen. i can NOT lie and say that ultrasound it 100% accurate, because we ALL know that it is not... it sometimes is easy to mistake and call a boy baby a girl at this stage, but if your tech seemed experienced, and seemed like she knew what she was doing, then i would say its a girl !! especially if she could point out the labia to you. take it easy and start buying some pink !!
      if you are still really unsure, try buying some yellows, and greens too just in case... the neutrals never fail !! good luck and congrats !

  5. QUESTION:
    How accurate are gender predictions from ultrasound in 20th week?
    i did ultrasound at 19w 4days, and the radiologyst said i'm having a baby girl. when i asked how sure she is, she showed me 3 lines and said that is her labia. is it possible that it's still wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible that it is wrong, it's never 100% accurate. You won't truly know what you're having until birth. With that said, an experienced tech is usually very accurate. If they clearly saw the "3 lines" then it's definitely a VERY high chance of it being a girl. If there is a little bulge and it is very clear then there is a VERY high chance of it being a boy. But like i said, they have been wrong, it does happen quite a bit, just not enough to be a real concern. Mine had the 3 lines too!!! I don't know what i'll do if it comes out with a little weiner!!! i guess he'd wear alot of pink!!

  6. QUESTION:
    do gender predictions worked in your pregnancy?
    im 18 weeks pregnant and im so anxious to know what im having!! all online predictions tell me im having a girl, like the chinesse calendar, some quiz about my pregnancy like how i carry my belly, my cravings etc i want to know if this old wives tales worked for you! i so want a girl!! so ill be so happy if theyre right for me, i have a 3 year old son already so we would love to have the lil princess!

    • ANSWER:
      Get an ultrasound. That will be 100% effective at predicting gender.

  7. QUESTION:
    if you have ever done gender predictions online?
    did the dates of you and your mates and your child's birthday come to be accurate for your child's gender?

    • ANSWER:
      I tried several, and they were all correct. My sis-in-law is prego now and we played around with them before she found out what she was having- and they were all correct as well.

  8. QUESTION:
    i was wondering if anyone has tried gender predictions?
    like the drano, wedding ring, heart rate, chinese gender prediction, or old wives tales and have all of them be right and which ones they used?

    • ANSWER:
      I used the chinese gender chart, and it was right on the money! I'd bet money I was having a boy, I just knew I was, and had a little girl, just like the chart said.

      Some people get different answers as they miscalculate their age when conceiving, and it doesn't work all the time. However, we asked around on both sides of our families and found it accurate on everyone except maybe 2 people.

      Good luck!

  9. QUESTION:
    Any Old Wives Tales For Baby Gender Predictions?
    I am five months pregnant and due to have an ultrasound done to determin the sex of the baby in a couple of weeks, but first I thought it would be fun to try out some old wives tales for gender prediction to see if they might be correct. Does anyone know of any?

    • ANSWER:
      I YOUR HAVING A GIRL NOW QUIT 2POINTS

  10. QUESTION:
    On the chinese gender predictions it ask what age of conception. Is that your age when got pregnant or when?
    baby is born? Has this been right for anyone else?

    • ANSWER:
      when you became pregnant.....

  11. QUESTION:
    Have any of you tried Madame Zaritska gender predictions? Were they correct?
    Haha...so this lady is crazy! She predicts HUGE babies for everyone...I don't believe in any of this stuff or the wives tales but I was just curious to see how her predictions panned out for everyone.

    • ANSWER:
      I just did it because I had never heard of it. I'm only 23 weeks but she's already wrong, i'm not having a girl i'm having a BOY!

    Does anyone believe in that chinese calendar gender predictions?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, for both my pregnancies it said boy and both are girls. For my sister it said girl and she had a boy. So I don't think it's accurate, but some people swear by it.

  15. QUESTION:
    Did your gender prediction work when you were pregnant?
    I know this is so superstitious but I am 6 weeks pregnant and searching online for different gender predictions and they all say I am having a girl. The problem is I want a boy lol. Just curious for some personal experiences. Were the predictions right for you? Also is the carrying high (girl) or low (boy) work?

  17. QUESTION:
    Gender predictions please?
    I'm currently 14 weeks and 3 days. On my last doctors visit, the baby's heartbeat registered around 160. That was around 12 weeks. I heard the heartbeats slows the further the baby progresses in it's development, but at what rate, I'm unsure. According to the old wives tale (I know it's not proven scientifically), gender predictions can be made based on the bpm.

    So going with that, anyone have predictions as to whether it sounds more like it's a girl or a boy? (: I'm just curious.

    • ANSWER:
      My daughters was between 155-160 something the whole time.. My sons has been lower ..140's. Ive read the old wives tales and thats what they say 160 a girl 140 a boy! so mines been right! :)

      Its a boy!!! hehhe Congrats! I've heard that if you've broken out during pregnancy that its a girl because shes taking all your beauty and if you haven't broke out then your having a boy. Lol! Good Luck and congrats either way!!!

      Come back tomorrow and let us baby crazed women know!!! :)

  19. QUESTION:
    how accurate are gender predictions from ultrasound?
    doc said legs were closed and he is 70 percent sure a..girl

    was he jsut covering himself incase he was wrong (is it the usual stats?)

    ???

    • ANSWER:
      They're more likely to be wrong if they say girl then boy (when they tell you it's a boy, they are actually seeing something, with a girl there's nothing, they might've just missed it)

      If the doc has told you he's only 70 percent sure, I wouldn't fill up the room with pink just yet.

  20. QUESTION:
    Question about gender predictions?
    Have you ever heard of the Chinese Conception Chart? It supposedly determines the sex of the baby based on the Mother's Age and month of conception.

    How accurate do you believe this chart is?? or is it another prediction myth?

    Thank you for your opinions.

    • ANSWER:
      Myth,only a scan will determine the sex of a child,science not hocus pocus

  21. QUESTION:
    how correct is ultrasound gender prediction ?
    I am 30 weeks pregnant. I had my 2nd u/sound two days back. This time I ask about baby's gender. The technician said that its baby girl. But I am feeling like its a boy b/cause baby is very active. I have four year old doughter, this time my pregnancy is different from last time. And also my doughter wants a baby brother. I only want to know are these predictions 100% correct? can anyone help me ?

    • ANSWER:
      They aren't 100%, they are more likely to be right when telling you it's a boy than telling you it's a girl. If you think it's a boy you might just have to wait another 10 weeks to find out.

  22. QUESTION:
    Is gender prediction possible when trying to have a baby?
    I have a 3 year old son and I've been really wanting to have a baby girl. Is there anything we can do to have a girl that actually works? I've heard about the gender prediction calandar. Does it work and how do I go about it?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think the calender works. But there are some methods that could make your odds a little better. They say that boy sperm are fast but weak and die quickly. Girls are supposed to swim slow but live longer. So timing conception with ovulation is crucial. Also, they say the acidity levels in your vagina matter. There is a book out there, think it is called Choosing the gender of your Baby. But not sure. I have three girls (none planned) and am pregnant with ???? This one was planned crossing fingers it is a boy.

  23. QUESTION:
    How effective are these online gender prediction tests?
    I know its a bit of a trivial question but have any of you taken these online gender prediction tests or used the chinese charts etc to predict whether your having a boy or girl and did they turn out to be accurate?
    Im only about 6 weeks pregnant but I am so excited and dying to know if its a boy or girl, and besides, my husband and I have a bet going :)

    Like I said, not a serious question, just curious.

    Thanks!

  24. QUESTION:
    Gender predictions in pregnacy...opinions?
    I am 19 weeks with my third child, I have took 2 gender prediction tests for fun before I get my ultra sound, one was a urine based test that turned pink for a girl and the other was based on dates of birth of me and my husband and predict a boy. Both tests say they are 99% accurate so it will interesting to find out which is right! Anyone else had any similar experience??
    Thanks folks, I get my ultrasound next week so hopefully find out then :) I am due 3rd August :)

    • ANSWER:
      All those gender prediction things are rubbish and were all wrong for me. Only an ultrasound can determine the sex of your baby.

  25. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese gender prediction calculator?
    I just discovered the chinese gender prediction calender online, it says it's over 90% accurate, and now I am worried because it says i'm having a girl. This is my first child and I wanted it to be a boy, badly. Please tell me that this (over 90% accurate) thing is bull.

    • ANSWER:
      It's 50%. It's basically a guessing game. There are only two choices, so that gives it a 50/50 chance of being right.

  26. QUESTION:
    Did those gender prediction tests work for you in determining your baby's gender?
    I really want a boy but all those (old wives tales) online gender prediction test say that I am having a girl. 2 psychics told me I'm having a boy. Some friends predict it's a girl. I'm just 12 weeks and it is too early to tell but I am just so excited to know! Did you have an intuition on what your baby's gender will be? Did those online tests work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      People who cannot see your baby or check its chromosomes cannot tell what gender it is.

  27. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese calendar predictions actually work for the gender of your baby?
    Just curious =)

    What are some other fun gender prediction tests?
    My eldest sister, 35, is FINALLY pregnant with her first child. She's 14 weeks. We're chatting online and are trying to find all the silly gender prediction tests. We've done the one about the heart rate. The baby is at 159, so in theory, it would be a girl. We did the Chinese test based off her conception date, and it said boy. lol Other than the "string" test, what other fun tests could we use to predict the gender of her baby?

  29. QUESTION:
    Ultra sound and accurate gender predictions.?
    I just had an ultra sound done at 24 weeks and the tech said she was pretty sure it was a girl....she said she couldn't see that area straight on, but that she usually doesn't say anything unless she really felt she could tell the sex. How accurate were your ultra sound "predictions"? And please say whether it was for a girl or boy. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      hello whalelvr72 i am a very proud father of four, in two weeks will be five. now everytime and i do mean everytme my wife and i had the ultrasounds done I was the one who told the tech's and my wife what the gender of the baby was because they also like your tech's told you they were'nt sure of the gender and they probably were right. but those things can be tricky, make sure they move that wand around slow sometimes those people come in to their job with crap on their mind and try to do halfass work. so next time you go make sure YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND do like told you. Oh yeah and yes my predictions were very very correct my oldest is a girl and i was correct my two middle kids are boys correct once again and my baby is a girl and yes once again and in two weeks we're having another boy. I guess what i am trying to say is don't rely on those people, keep YOUR eyes on that screen they work dont they (smile) it's your baby not theirs. hope this helped God bless you and yours.

      NO! You'll find out between 18-20 weeks when you get your ultrasound...I knows your excited to find out...but they are not reliable.

  31. QUESTION:
    Do the lunar calanders and old wives tales really work on gender prediction?
    I am four weeks and six days pregnant with my third child. I have two wonderful boys and I would love to have a daughter to pass on my grandmothers name. All the old wives tales and the lunar calander say I'm having a girl! The lunar calander was correct with both my boys and all my symptoms with this pregnancy are very different than with my two boys. Is their any truth to these methods of gender prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think they are scientifically proven to be accurate, but I do enjoy reading them. All of the old wives' tales and the Lunar calendar said I was having a girl. Now I have a 1 year old little girl! With this pregnancy, all of my symptoms are still the same which would point to a girl, and the Lunar calendar says I am having another girl. So we will see if its all true this time too! I've heard there is a gender prediction kit you can buy from pharmacies that is suppose to be very accurate, but they are around so I'm not wasting my money...

  32. QUESTION:
    has anyone taken that gender predictions kit that costs 35$ and its suppose to tell you what you r having?

    • ANSWER:
      That is a waste of money my son god mother paid for the test and it said she was having a boy and she had another girl, so don't spend ur money on that just wait for the ultrasound.

  33. QUESTION:
    what would happen if someone isnt pregnant and they took a gender prediction test?
    There is a question about someone in my family's pregnancy...she took a gender prediction test and claims she is 10 weeks pregnant....now if she took this gender prediction test what would it look like if she wasnt really pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      me having never taken one i would probably say it would come out inconclusive because it would have to go of the hormones in the body thats what i think anyway lol

  34. QUESTION:
    how accurate is an ultrasound for gender predictions?
    i had an ultrasound at around 24 weeks, the image wasnt exactly clear and the baby kept moving around ALOT. the technician took along time to take the measurements because of that and she said she couldnt tell if it was a boy or girl. at one point i thought i saw the babies butt and i didnt see a penis so i told her that i thought it was a girl, she looked at the screen and said that she thought i was right. i am just curious to know on average how accurate is a gender prediction from an ultrasound. AND i am thinking the prediction i got would be alot less accurate because it wasnt very clear, what do you think? :)

    • ANSWER:
      They are usually pretty accurate but they have been wrong many times. Ecspecially if the baby was moving around a lot. I would ask for another ultrasound to be for sure.

  35. QUESTION:
    2 different ultrasounds, 2 different gender predictions?
    I had an ultrasound last friday just to make sure I had the correct level of amniotic fluid. I was 17 weeks 1 day pregnant and she told me it was a girl. She said that she could see a black hole with three little white lines and that was her labia? They did this ultrasound at the hospital.
    Yesterday, at 18 weeks I went to the doctor and the lady that did the ultrasound said that she couldn't get it to open it's legs so that she could get a clear view. She kept pushing on it trying to get it to move and then proceeded to show me the "penis" that she found. Needless to say I didn't see it. She seemed to be in a really big rush.
    So now I have been told by to different people, two different genders. Has anyone ever had this happen? I don't know which one to believe. It doesn't really matter to me whether it's a boy or girl but I just want to be able to prepare a little. How accurate are the predictions if you get a 3D/4D ultrasound done?

    • ANSWER:
      I would get a another ultrasound, I am sure they have those ultrasound places in your area and it shouldn't be more than 75.00. When you go I would ask them to see the gender in 4d which should be pretty cut and dry! Good Luck. I am sorry you had to deal with that!

  36. QUESTION:
    Any personal experience with heart beat gender prediction?
    I had ultra sounds twice so far. 1 the 1st day and 3 different ones the 2nd by 3 different people. All were around 175. I know that over 140 is a girl. I really want a girl. I am 12 weeks and 5 days. I know alot of the gender prediction myths are untrue including the high and low one. I was wondering if anyone had experiences that their baby's heartbeat turned out to be the right prediction.

    • ANSWER:
      As early into your pregnancy as you are, the heart beat predictions would be wrong. When the fetus is that small the heart beat will always be fast. It will start to drop as the baby gets bigger. When I was nine weeks, the heart beat was 172, and at 30 weeks it was 136 (I don't know what I am having). You will have to wait for your 20 week ultrasound to be sure about the gender.

      Also, my sister has two girls...the first always had a fast heartbeat, and her second was always low...so I would say this is just for fun when making predictions.

  37. QUESTION:
    Which is the best Gender Prediction Calendar out there?
    Does it really work out ? Is it accurate in gender prediction? Please let me know your respond if you have tried these gender prediction calendars?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly... None of them work, Ive had so many people tell me "oh ya this one is awesome!" only to have my next friend say "well that thing didn't work for me..."

      The best way to know is just to wait for at least the 16 week (I know its terrible not to know) sometimes at 16 weeks they can tell you (his/hers stuff begins to grow at about week 10 but isn't visible)

      Most doctors will have you wait till 18-22 weeks though (this gives you a better chance of seeing for sure)

      And keep in mind that even Ultrasounds don't work all the time, if the baby doesn't cooperate than sometiems you cant see at all, and sometimes they are wrong (my mom thought I was a boy till the 2nd ultrasound because the first ultrasound tech said I was a boy)

      There are wives tales "if you want sweet things its a girl, sour and salt means its a boy" or " if your holding your baby low in your body its a boy, higher up its a girl"....

      In all honesty there is no way to be 100% sure unless you get a level 2 Ultrasound at about week 24 or on...

      Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

  38. QUESTION:
    Myths on baby gender predictions?
    Drino mixed in a glass jar with urine to find out babys sex what is that how does it work and how far must you be to do it?

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn't work. There is no predictor of the babies sex chemically. The only way to know is to wait til he/she is old enough and get an ultrasound. If you suspect you may be pregnant, then you shouldn't be playing with drano or other cleaning chemicals.

  39. QUESTION:
    How many of you had incorrect gender prediction?
    I was wondering how many of you did the gender prediction tests like the ring on the string,drano tests,heart rate tests, etc. And you passed the tests with it being a boy and you had a girl or it said girl and you had a boy!? Just curious...all of mine point to a boy, but i wont find out until jan 3rd!!

    • ANSWER:
      my sister actually had an ultrasound and was given the wrong gender.

      i had no ultrasounds on advice of physician, and so used heart rate and fetal positioning and was sure our second was a girl. so sure I actually said, "A boy, are you sure?" when i delivered.

  40. QUESTION:
    Gendermaker gender prediction test boy or girl?
    I heard about this gender prediction test, its called Gendermaker, did anyone try it? They say if it’s a girl, the results will turn pink, and if it’s a boy, it will turn blue. I wonder how accurate this test is, I am usually kind of skeptical about these kinds of tests, but this one seems like it could be fun.

    • ANSWER:
      I tried gendermaker test, it turned pink for me, and it was actually right, I am having a little girl!

  41. QUESTION:
    were you right with your gender predictions?
    i am only 4 weeks :) but i am almost positive we are having a boy, i just have this gut feeling nothing else just i have this feeling, did anyone else have this, were you correct!!

    p.s chinese lunar calender says girl so lets see who right haha

    • ANSWER:
      I just had a feeling I was having a boy and it turned out to be correct. I found out at my anatomy scan at 19 weeks 3 days that I was, in fact, having a boy.

  42. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the over the counter gender prediction kits when preggo?
    I am so anxious to find out the sex of my baby. I am considering taking the gender prediction test, but I'm not sure how accurate these tests are. Any personal experiences??

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could take the test. but no matter what there is a 50/50 chance of it being correct... and if it were correct, Id think it was just coincidence. Id maybe take it for fun, but don't count on the results.

  43. QUESTION:
    Was your gender prediction, feeling, chinese calender or anything right?
    I think Im having a boy. My husband thinks Im having a boy. Is it a feeling well... Kinda not really but it's a guess.

    The Chinese calender says girl. Everyone in my family and his says we are having a girl.

    I am carrying low. I crave spicy foods, veges and meat!

    We find out on Friday. Just curious what was right/wrong when it came to your gender predictions.

    XO and belly pats!

    • ANSWER:
      I thought boy for my hubby and I. He thought girl and so did both of our families. I crave cheese and lemons (not together) like crazy! I usually love sweet stuff but didn't want it. I even told me hubby that if this baby is a girl then I'm putting all those old wives tales to shame for sure! Well, we went for the ultrasound a week and half ago and it's a boy! I honestly would have been happy either way! The chinese calendar said girl too! So just because the world thinks one way doesn't mean that's what you'll have :) It's all just silly guessing! haha! Good luck on Friday! Can't wait to hear what you're having! Best wishes!

  44. QUESTION:
    How accurate is gender prediction at 10-11 weeks?
    I had an ultrasound today, and I'm 10 wks and 4 days along. The ultrasound tech said that she thinks this is a boy because she "saw something". This would be our 3rd boy! I definitely saw some kind of nub too, but I'm wondering how accurate this is. I was SO hoping for a girl this time around since this is definitely our last pregnancy. Anyone have an early guess at gender prediction that ended up being correct?
    By the way, I'm really not that shallow, if this is another boy, of course we will be thrilled.

    • ANSWER:
      Not at all accurate, all babies at 10-11 weeks have the same genitals regardless of their true sex.

      Seriously, at 10-11 weeks the clitoris is just as big and as prominent as what will be the penis - same tissue same thing really.

  45. QUESTION:
    3 line sign rule for gender prediction of female?
    How accurate is the "3 line sign/ rule" in the gender prediction on an ultrasound? My ultrasound tech pointed out the lines in my 2nd ultrasound @ 13 weeks. I am hoping her prediction that im having a girl, was accurate. Please let me know ur experience with this myth!

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know but, good luck! x

Gender Prediction Quiz

5 Steps to Detect Yours Babys Gender - Baby Gender Quiz
Are you pregnant and still wondering whether to paint your infant's nursery in pink or blue? This is a common confusion faced by most expecting moms which seem hard to get resolved until the baby is born. But believe it or not, apart from ultrasounds and medical tests there are ways to find out your baby's sex before he/she is born through natural and fun ways. Take the baby gender quiz to determine the sex of your baby hiding inside your belly and get down to a more precise booty shopping for the little one before he/she arrives. Although not 100% accurate, in most cases they have been seen to come up with astonishingly accurate results.
The old wives tale offers a fun quiz for the parents to determine whether the baby-in-waiting is a boy or a girl. Some questions of the baby gender quiz are as follows- Q- Is your pregnant belly positioned high or low?
If the answer to this question is high, then you have fair chances of giving birth to a girl. In case your belly lies low, a boy might be the one waiting to pop out.
Q-What kind of food do you crave for sweet or salty?
If you have developed a liking for sweet foods, then you might be carrying a baby girl and if your taste has shifted to salty foods, in all likelihood the scales are heavier towards a boy child.
Q- What is the heartbeat rate of your baby?
It is more likely to be a girl child, if the rate is over 140 bpm and a boy if the rate lies below 140.
Q- What is the shape of your leg during the pregnancy term?
If your legs gain weight then it's a boy and if they stay in shape, it's a girl.
Q What is the profile of your face during pregnancy?
The old wives tale have it that if you have a well rounded and full face, most likely you are carrying a girl. However, if your face has become leaner, there might be a boy inside.
The baby gender quiz, although not fully accurate, can give you a fair idea of the sex of the baby-in- the- making. If you have taken the quiz and have been able to conceptualize the gender to some extent, then go ahead and start painting the nursery for your yet to arrive bundle of joy in pink or blue- whichever you think fit.

  4. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction chart?
    I am trying to use this Chinese gender prediction chart. Yes I know it's a little silly but a lot of people say it worked for them. But some websites and people are saying you have to add on one year to your actual age for it to get your Chinese age- so that the chart will work correctly. When I use my normal age it says I'm having a boy. When I add one year it says I'm having a girl. When I do gender quiz'z (where you type in your date of birth and the Chinese predictor works it out for you) it says girl... I am confused lol

    • ANSWER:
      me and my friend used one where you enter your year of birth and it works it out for you and i was 24 when i got preg and it said my conception age was 25 but give it a go you dont have to worry about adding years! oh they were both right!

  5. QUESTION:
    have any of the old wives tales or other gender prediction quizes every proven to be true for anyone?
    i used to do these all of the time with my last pregnancy.. but i got different answers depending on the test.. does anyone believe in those quizes? I know some of them can't be proven, like saying that girls steal your looks so you look worse when pregnant with a girl.. but what about the heart rate? does anyone know if its actually true that a girl's heart rate is faster than a boys? and what about any of the other sayings? im just so anxious to know what im having!
    by the way, im only asking and doing these quizzes for fun.. so please remember that before you give sarcastic answers!

    • ANSWER:
      I had some fun with these too, but not one was accurate lol. I did the chinese gender chart and it predicted girl when I'm having a boy. As for your looks getting worse with a girl, well in my opinion my looks kind of worsened-very swollen feet and ankles, face breakouts and pale. And the heart rate being faster for girls...my boys heart rate was around 175 for the longest time, but every baby's HR is high in the beginning and gradually gets a little lower toward the end of the pregnancy. I was very anxious too before I found out it drove me nuts! Have fun with the games, and don't go too crazy before your big U/S!

Everyone is different so its hard to go by any of that though. Good luck with your pregnancy.

  12. QUESTION:
    Boy/Girl - Am i wrong to think like this?
    Ok girls.. i dont know why but yday night i didnt get sleep thinking what baby i would have? boy?? or girl?? .. i am just 5W2D ; but suddenly i started thinking about the gender of my baby.

    I took this gender prediction quiz at midnight... some said girl some said boy!!

    in my home i have sisters no bro's.. so my mom would like to have a grandson.. yday i found that i too would like to have a son... the previous days i was thinking that it would be great to have a girl just like me or my mom..

    but yday night this stuff drove me nuts.....
    today morning im just fine and better....

    • ANSWER:
      no, you are not wrong to think about the gender but just remember you got a 50/50 chance at whatever gender - girl or boy.

      i have always wanted boys. not that i wouldnt have loved a daughter but ever since i was young i wanted boys (i want to be the only girl in the home :) - lol and i was sexually molested as a young girl that i didnt want that to happen to my daughter - i know it can happen to boys too but...i dont know)

      one day i started crying saying "what if i have a girl. what if i am wrong and this baby inside of me isnt a boy?" i relaxed and knew whatever i had i would be happy.

      God is granting me with a boy. Thankfully.

      Just relax. Things will work out according to His plans

  13. QUESTION:
    Where the old wives tale predictions accurate in your pregnancy?
    I am 21 weeks, everyone told me that I was having a girl. While at work I research stuff on pregnancy so that I am aware of what is going on and what I should expect. I took prediction test to try to predict what I was having ( I did this for fun and to pass time) The result would always be that I am having a boy. But my family members and my close friends would say that they feel it is a girl. They though I was having a girl because my hair slightly fell out. I had no morning sickness, but they felt I was having a girl. I found out at 19 weeks that it was a boy. I wanted to know did anyone else like me try to take gender prediction quizes and get accurate results on the sex of their baby?

    • ANSWER:
      well according to the Chinese calendar I should be the mom to 4 little boys but...I have 4 girls. People kept saying my first daughter would have lots of hair because of the heartburn I had..she was bald until she was over a year old. My 2nd daughter I had no heartburn with and she had a head of hair like you wouldn't believe. My husbands grandmothers kept telling me I was having a boy because or how I carried...once again I had girls. Then with my last pregnancy I had such wonderful skin and no morning sickness and everyone knew for certain I was having a boy...she's a GIRL! Oh and according to the heartbeat rates 2 of my girls should have been boys lol. The old wives tales are fun but if they worked for you it was just a coincidence.

  14. QUESTION:
    Please take this quiz on baby gender and tell me if it was right or wrong?
    My results say that I have a 65% chance of having a girl, and my ultrasound says I am. That's a pretty good prediction! I'm curious to know if it is right for all you other ladies.

    Please post your results and tell us if it was right or wrong:

  15. QUESTION:
    4 weeks pregnant with question?
    I am four weeks pregnant and feeling pressure in my abdomen...this is my second so I am wondering if maybe itsz just because I can feel things sooner...aslo I have trouble sleeping at night any suggestions. In my first pregnancy I breastfed...ever once in a whiloe I get that tingle from let down is that normal. And in my first pregnancy, I did all those gender prediction quizes and calenders...they were all boy which is what I had. This time they all say girl, has any one else had luck with these tests?

    • ANSWER:
      I think its just your uterus muscles already streching. I know mine have been going off like crazy and I am not 8 weeks and feel like I look like I am more like late three months pregnant. Also with my son I did the chinese calander thing, and it said he was a boy and was right, for this one it said that its a girl...and I have another 10 or so weeks to find out if it is or not. I hope it is a girl though lol.

Gender Prediction Tests

Does High Estrogen Levels (Or Changes In Levels) Affect Or Influence Your Baby's Gender Or Sex When You Conceive?
I was recently asked if having high levels of estrogen make you more likely to conceive a boy or a girl. This is a pretty loaded question. Obviously, being on any type of hormone replacement therapy is counter to attempting to become pregnant. And different women have different levels that are going to be "normal" or typical for them. However, when the estrogen in your body is naturally rising, this does provide some indications that you are in a certain point in your reproductive cycle. And having intercourse and attempting to conceive at different points in your reproductive cycle makes you slightly more or less likely to conceive one gender over another. I will discuss this more in the following article.

Estrogen Levels And How They Change As You Approach Ovulation: During and after ovulation is the time period where most women are at their most fertile. And estrogen levels do come into play here. Obviously, when you're trying to get pregnant, knowing when ovulation is approaching is quite important so you will know when to have intercourse. People will often attempt to gauge this by taking their basal body temperature (or bbt.) And, if you're using this method, you probably already know that you're looking for a spike or a quick rise in your temperature.

Often, right before this happens, your estrogen levels are rising and are generally high and your temperature is lower and steady. As ovulation approaches and eventually happens, progesterone levels, and temperatures, begin to rise.

Estrogen Levels and Cervical Mucus: The consistency and texture of cervical mucus is another way that people attempt to gauge their fertility and conception times. As the estrogen levels begin to rise in anticipation in ovulation, you will often see the cervical mucus become more abundant. It will also become less cloudy, more clear and slippery, and may take on more of an egg white appearance.

This is what most people are looking for to tell them that ovulation is approaching. While the cervical mucus and taking your bbt are preferable to guessing, I feel that using a saliva or urine ovulation predictor is a much more reliable way to pinpoint your ovulation. It leaves much less to chance and requires much less guessing.

Ovulation Times And How They Affect Whether You Conceive A Boy Or A Girl: Knowing when you ovulate is only the beginning if you're trying to conceive one specific gender. Because having intercourse before ovulation actually happens makes you more likely to get a girl baby. In this case, seeing the surge of the basal body temperature might be a bit too late if you want a daughter. Likewise, when you see the thinner and more slippery cervical mucus, this could mean that ovulation has already happened. Again, this is too late if you want a girl.

Ovulation predictors (especially saliva) give you a wider window to work with. You may also want to look at your acidity and PH as these things can also affect your baby's gender. In my opinion, these criteria are much more important in determining whether you conceive a girl or boy baby than estrogen levels. These levels can certainly tell you where you are in your cycle, but it's the action that you take at this time that really matters rather than the levels themselves.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How effective are these online gender prediction tests?
    I know its a bit of a trivial question but have any of you taken these online gender prediction tests or used the chinese charts etc to predict whether your having a boy or girl and did they turn out to be accurate?
    Im only about 6 weeks pregnant but I am so excited and dying to know if its a boy or girl, and besides, my husband and I have a bet going :)

    Like I said, not a serious question, just curious.

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      i done it for fun at the start of my pregnancy and it predicted that i would have a baby girl ive had a few scans that confirm this and also had 2 4d scans which said girl. im due tomorrow so shall see very soon if its correct lol c

  2. QUESTION:
    Did those gender prediction tests work for you in determining your baby's gender?
    I really want a boy but all those (old wives tales) online gender prediction test say that I am having a girl. 2 psychics told me I'm having a boy. Some friends predict it's a girl. I'm just 12 weeks and it is too early to tell but I am just so excited to know! Did you have an intuition on what your baby's gender will be? Did those online tests work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      People who cannot see your baby or check its chromosomes cannot tell what gender it is.

  3. QUESTION:
    What are some other fun gender prediction tests?
    My eldest sister, 35, is FINALLY pregnant with her first child. She's 14 weeks. We're chatting online and are trying to find all the silly gender prediction tests. We've done the one about the heart rate. The baby is at 159, so in theory, it would be a girl. We did the Chinese test based off her conception date, and it said boy. lol Other than the "string" test, what other fun tests could we use to predict the gender of her baby?

    • ANSWER:
      http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html

  4. QUESTION:
    Do you believe the gender prediction tests are true?
    I did the chinese gender prediction test and it said I am having a girl. I checked it to see if it was correct when I had my little boy and it was right. Have you done this test and do you think it really works?
    I don't think they work either. Yeah um, that woman who commented on my boobs is a complete tool.
    I apologize for calling her/him a tool. Maybe he/she just needs a little extra attention.

    • ANSWER:
      Well, the odds are 50/50 so half the time I guess the Chinese test is right! lol

      I've heard lots of old wives tales about how to predict the sex of your baby and I've tried them all.

      1. You can tell by the heart rate: Not true because I've had 4 children now and sometimes the heart rate was fast, sometimes slow, and it didn't matter the gender.
      2. You can tell by how you carry: Not true, because I've carried all my babies (2 boys and 2 girls) the same way.
      3. You can tell by how sick you are: Also not true because I'm sick 24/7 with all of my pregnancies!

      The only thing I've found to be true "for me" is that when I was pregnant with my girls I gained weight in my face. I kind of looked a little puffier. This did not happen at all with my boys. This was also true for my three sisters who have all been pregnant. Two of them had all boys and they never gained weight in the face. The one who had a girl DID.

      Have I stumbled onto something? My theory is that a baby girl might affect her mother's weight because being female she shares the same hormones and has more fat for her body weight than a boy.

  5. QUESTION:
    ) Old wives tales pregnancy symptoms vs. gender prediction tests, what is your take on this?
    What have been your experiences with either the old wives tales about pregnancy symptoms of the gender prediction tests. What has been the most accurate for you?

    • ANSWER:
      When I was pregnant, my pregnancy symptoms were all over the place so it was difficult for me to really use the old wives tales. My baby boy (just found out!) I carried low but the heartbeat was pretty fast. So I wasn't sure what I was having at the time. Then I took a gender predictor test called GenderMaker that a friend of mine recommended and the results said it would be a boy, and it was right! So for me the gender prediction tests are way better.

  6. QUESTION:
    what do you think about online gender prediction tests?
    I was just wondering if anyone has ever used these tests and if the results were accurate. I know the only way to really know is by ultrasound. I am just wanting to know what some peoples results were.

    • ANSWER:
      I think there just fun to play around with.

  7. QUESTION:
    Home gender prediction tests that are just for fun?
    I know that the gender test you can take at home has some accuracy yet it is just for fun. I am thinking of trying it before my ultrasound apt when we find out what we are having! Something silly to do! Have you ever tried this? was it right? just wondering!

    • ANSWER:
      The one at Walgreen's is and said it's about 82% accurate. I would try one just for fun, why not? I don't think I can try one because I am having fraternal twins and unless they are the same sex it probably wouldn't work. The colors would mix and turn black or something lol. I can hopefully find out what they are next month! Congrats and have fun!

  8. QUESTION:
    OK Moms I need your help w/ fun gender prediction tests?
    I am currently 7weeks & 2 days. I am planning on doing the Intelligender test but obviously I have to wait a few more weeks for that, so I found a couple others I am thinking of trying the Red Cabbage test and the Baking Soda test.

    Any of you know any other fun/cute ideas?

    Did you take the Cabbage or Baking Soda tests? At what week and did it turn out accurate??

    Thanks for your help!

    • ANSWER:

  9. QUESTION:
    What are some popular home gender prediction tests? Do they work?
    My doctor doesn't want to schedule too many ultrasounds, and I really, REALLY want to know what I'm having, i saw some things online that said you can do a home test, but it didnt say what kind of tests you can try. I do know that its not a definite thing, but i would really like some clues as to what im having

    • ANSWER:
      as your tummy grows, if it hangs low its a boy, if you tummy in perked up a bit its a girl, its wat all moms were telling me before i even had an ultrasound, and my tummy hung a little low and it was a boy

  10. QUESTION:
    Did you do gender prediction tests when you were pregnant?
    Were they accurate? How about old wives tales?

    • ANSWER:
      Every single one I've heard has been split 50/50, so while we don't find out the gender until Thursday, nothing is pointing to the same answer. So, there's no way of knowing which half of the old sayings are going to be right just yet!

      It is fun, though, to see what the wives tales say (actually - here's a fun quiz I found one day: http://www.fortunebaby.com/GenderPredictorQuiz.html ) You can also google the Chinese conception calendar. That says boy for us, and most of my family is saying boy, and I've dreamed it's a boy (though secrectly I'm hoping it's a girl). Guess we'll see in a few days! :)

      Good luck to you!!

  11. QUESTION:
    I have been looking into gender prediction tests for a friend. How do they work?

    • ANSWER:
      I used fortune baby gender prediction test, its an online gender predictor, they calculate the gender of your baby based on your dates of birth, and biological changes in your body. Check it out, it was accurate for me.

  12. QUESTION:
    Are gender prediction tests really accurate?
    I read that they are about 90% accurate but I find it hard to believe. Has anyone used one before? I would prefer answers only if you have used it and had your baby already please... Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      The gender prediction tests that are OTC have about an 80% accuracy rate, not the 90% that is claimed. Waste of your money. Slightly less accurate than a single ultrasound which is about 85% accurate. In most countries where this product has been available, it has been rated poorly by users.

  13. QUESTION:
    Im 9 wks prego and i took one of those gender prediction tests?
    the out come was a boy i was seeing how accurate these results are. anyone else use one...it was a intelligender one

  16. QUESTION:
    Gendermaker gender prediction test boy or girl?
    I heard about this gender prediction test, its called Gendermaker, did anyone try it? They say if it’s a girl, the results will turn pink, and if it’s a boy, it will turn blue. I wonder how accurate this test is, I am usually kind of skeptical about these kinds of tests, but this one seems like it could be fun.

    • ANSWER:
      I tried gendermaker test, it turned pink for me, and it was actually right, I am having a little girl!

  17. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction tests?
    Do you think that these gender prediction tests actually work, how can you tell what sex you are having by your age and the month you conceived?
    I was just looking at a website out of curiosity and they wanted 50 pounds to predict your babys gender, I wonder how many people have done it?
    I did not!

    • ANSWER:
      They are fun, only if they are free. We tried to play those, even one with the pencil the day before I delivered my son. It told me that I was having a girl. It is a 50/50 shot at getting it right. Just enjoy them for what they are, entertainment. It really had fun when I was carrying the twins.

  18. QUESTION:
    Have you tried the urine gender prediction tests? Did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      i have herd they are not accurate and my friend took on and it said she would have a baby boy and it turned out to be a baby girl. it all depends i guess? i wouldn't waste my money, just wait to get an ultra-sound

  19. QUESTION:
    Did you use any "gender prediction tests" and if so how accurate were they?

    What about the Chinese Gender Prediction test which is supposedly 90% accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi. I tried them all, I was only doing it for ''entertainment purposes'' until my big ultrasound. I did the crystal drano test which said 'boy', the intelligender which also said 'boy', the bleach test which said 'girl' and the red cabbage test which said 'girl'. Well.. 2 out of the 4 tests had to be right because I had a 50/50 percentage! lol. The drano and intelligender were right, I am indeed having a little boy.

      The chinese lunar calendar with both the lunar age and regular age, were both incorrect with girl predictions.

      Even the old wives heartrate myth was inaccurate.. my boy has a high heartrate.

      Everything is 50/50, just for fun you can try it, but don't base anything off of the results. Wait until your ultrasound.. I didn't even believe my 1st ultrasound until I saw a penis 4 times on 4 different ones, then I was like ''ok, it's definitely a boy'' lol. It's all genetics, look into your Husbands' family history. There is only 1 girl out of 20 boys in my Husbands family, so basically our odds of having a boy were strong due to strong male genetics.

      Best of luck to you.

  20. QUESTION:
    Baby gender prediction tests...?
    I want to try some baby gender prediction tests. do yall know of any i can try and how does it work? im 10weeks prego with #3 and im super excited to give it a whirl this pregnancy because i just waited for the ultrasounds last time this time i wanna tally scores and see which ones work lol im sure they are super fun! thanks yall in advance <3

    • ANSWER:
      When I was first pregnant with my daughter a friend of mine had me take my necklace off and put my engagement ring on it. I held it over my tummy and it moved in a circular motion which is supposed to mean girl. I already had a feeling she was a girl and it was right.

      This time, I tried it again and it swings back and forth which means boy. I already have a feeling its a boy and this suggests it too, but I have a long time to go until my ultrasound.

      Most of the Chinese gender predictors were wrong with my previous children. I've tried the quizzes (does your hair grow faster, do you have heartburn, are you carrying high/low, etc.) and they all say boy but they're just for fun.

  21. QUESTION:
    Gender Prediction Tests?
    Anyone know of any home done gender prediction tests? I know they're not really reliable.but I figured they could be fun...thanks(:
    (like the baking soda test & such...not the store bought ones(: )

    • ANSWER:
      there is one by Intelligender that I bought at Walgreens. Not sure of how reliable it is (probably not very,) but I'll find out if it just happened to be right soon. It was fun to take even if it was wrong.

  22. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl baby gender prediction test by Gendermaker?
    I just ordered Gendermaker gender prediction test, and wanted to see if anyone else used it before? I usually dont believe this kind of tests, but I came across their site and see that they have money back guarantee if the test is wrong, so I figured I have nothing to lose, plus they have a cool promotion now, they give you free Amex card. Did this test work for anyone else?

    • ANSWER:
      I used Gendermaker and it was right for me. It turned pink right away,and my doctor confrimed recently that I am having a girl

  23. QUESTION:
    Gender Prediction Tests? Accurate or a Waste?
    I'm really excited to find out the gender. I'm 13 weeks and 4 days pregnant today and I seriously can't wait until my ultrasound.
    So I've been doing the old wives tales for fun, and I find some really funny.
    I'm hoping to have a BOY for my first baby, and I'm just going to explode if I don't find out soon. This is so exciting and the wait seems like forever.

    So, I've obviously heard about gender prediction tests and I figured I should give one a shot. I mainly want to do it so that I can say I've tried everything, and just for fun. But I really want to know if they're accurate at all. I've read about a lot of women saying it worked for them, so I'm hoping to try and have it be right for me.
    How accurate were they for you?
    Can I buy one at Shopper's Drug Mart, or can I only buy them online?

    Any other advice would be nice. But, I'm only do all this for fun, so you don't have to get all serious and tell me what I'm doing is stupid. It definitely passes the time and I enjoy them a lot. My husband also gets a kick out of all the old wives tales too.

    -Thanks
    Oh, and if anyone has any place I can physically buy a Gender Prediction test, that would be helpful too.
    The wedding ring on is if it swings back and forth, it's a boy. If it goes in a circular motion it's a girl. I did this one last night. My husband gave me the weirdest look when he saw what I was doing.
    Kevin, you're an idiot. Seriously, I'm doing this for fun, I really don't care if I comes up wrong. Just you posting pisses me off.

    • ANSWER:
      haha, my mom tried an old wives tale on me but because im not aloud to know the sex until my baby shower where me and my boyfriend will find out together as a surprise i had to close my eyes, and so did my boyfriend lol. What she did was take a wedding band, and put it on a string and let it hang over the belly. if it goes left and right, its one thing, if it goes up and down its another, but i cant remember which is which and my mom refuses to tell me because she thinks i peeked lol. But its all good, I hope this helps lol and enjoy your fun :)

  24. QUESTION:
    gender prediction tests all say girl but ultrasounds say boy?
    Starting to wonder.. I am due in 2 weeks and my husband and I were kidding around and took all kinds of gender prediction tests online today and they all say girl.. we did these before our first ultrasound and they also said girl. We have now had two ultrasounds and one 3d ultrasound and they all said boy! so nervous our little boy is gunna turn out to be a girl(only because we already have everything!!) anyone else experience this??
    It's not that I TRUST gender predictors over ultrasounds.. it's just kinda crazy.. I'm not under serious hyperventilation right now or anything I was just asking for experiences..

    • ANSWER:
      Go with the ultrasound. The tech can see his little boy parts the gender prediction tests cannot. I took several of those too and they all said girl and my little guy is ALL boy.

  25. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction tests, are they really accurate?
    my friend who has 2 kids used a test for both of them and it was correct, but im still unsure. and also when is the earliest that I can take it??

    • ANSWER:
      NO, they are not accurate. The tests base it on the ph of your pee. Like, if you drink tons of cranberry juice it makes it more acidic and says its a girl, more basic it says boy. it always has a 50/50 chance of being right so thats how theyre able to cheat people out of money.

  26. QUESTION:
    has anyone done the intelligender boy or girl gender prediction test?
    Hi Everyone, I am 12 weeks pregnant and I bought 2 IntelliGender boy or girl Gender prediction test at the chemist and did one at 9 weeks and the other this week (week 12), both tests came up 'BOY'.

    I was just wondering if anyone else has done the test & how they feel about it, was it accurate for you?

      i haven't. but i had a friend that did... it said girl, but she is having a boy. so who knows!?!?

  27. QUESTION:
    Gender Prediction tests?
    Has anyone ever taken an at home gender prediction test using your urine to see if the baby is a boy or girl? or known of anyone else taking one? I took one this morning and I was curious about how accurate they really are. I'd be happy to hear your experience with one.
    okay well if it just uses my dna then surely it would say it was a girl right? but it said it was a boy...
    I'll be havin an ultrasound done in a week and a have to find out the gender but curiousity got the best of me =)

    • ANSWER:
      It is impossible to tell a babies gender through a urine test. The only thing that is in your urine is the babies hormone level (which has nothing to do with the sex) and YOUR dna, not your babies! It is a scam to make money and you fell for it.

  28. QUESTION:
    Have you used any gender prediction tests online, and which ones worked for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I used few ones, and the one that was correct for me is fortunebaby.com
      A friend of mine used fortune baby when she was trying to conceive a boy, and it turned out correct for her, I used it when I was pregnant, it said i am having a girl, and i had a girl! I also tried chinese gender chart, and old wives tales.

  29. QUESTION:
    what would happen if someone isnt pregnant and they took a gender prediction test?
    There is a question about someone in my family's pregnancy...she took a gender prediction test and claims she is 10 weeks pregnant....now if she took this gender prediction test what would it look like if she wasnt really pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      me having never taken one i would probably say it would come out inconclusive because it would have to go of the hormones in the body thats what i think anyway lol

  30. QUESTION:
    How many of you had incorrect gender prediction?
    I was wondering how many of you did the gender prediction tests like the ring on the string,drano tests,heart rate tests, etc. And you passed the tests with it being a boy and you had a girl or it said girl and you had a boy!? Just curious...all of mine point to a boy, but i wont find out until jan 3rd!!

    • ANSWER:
      my sister actually had an ultrasound and was given the wrong gender.

      i had no ultrasounds on advice of physician, and so used heart rate and fetal positioning and was sure our second was a girl. so sure I actually said, "A boy, are you sure?" when i delivered.

  31. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried Gendermaker gender prediction test and was it accurate for you?
    I am 8 weeks pregnant. I was searching the internet for fun gender prediction tests, and came across gendermaker gender prediction test. I was wondering if anyone else used, and was it accurate. They offer money back guarantee, so i guess there is nothing to lose but i am curious to know how accurate this test is. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could take the test. but no matter what there is a 50/50 chance of it being correct... and if it were correct, Id think it was just coincidence. Id maybe take it for fun, but don't count on the results.

  33. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction...?
    I have seen various gender prediction charts & tests all over the internet & was wondering which you feel are the best?? Thanks
    I have used the chinese gender chart too & it has said boy, my first was a boy, girl, my second was a girl & girl my 3rd was a boy... it is now saying girl... I hope thats right!!

    • ANSWER:
      They are all just for fun or entertainment, but for me the most accurate or coincidental have been the chinese gender prediction charts, I am in my 3rd pregnancy with my 3rd boy and it has predicted boy everytime but you have a 50/50 shot either way.

  34. QUESTION:
    Is there an accurate over the counter gender prediction test?
    I want to find out the sex of my baby and my husband doesn't. Are any of these tests real or a scam? any good ones that you would recommend?

    • ANSWER:
      The only way to know the sex of the baby is to go and get an ultrasound. There are doctors that specialize in gender determination if your doctor wont allow you to get another ultrasound. Around here they are 0, for 30 mins and they record the whole thing, which is neat.

  35. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever took the gender prediction test, intellegender?
    I was wondering if anyone has took the intellegender gender prediction test and if the test was proved to be right or wrong. People with experiences would be great! I am 16 weeks pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      My friend took the test and it said girl and she is having a little boy, We went to the 3d 4d ultrasound place with her yesterday and the couple who own the business said SO MANY people come in and say? Oh I know I am having this I took the intellgender test, And they said usually the intellgender test was wrong.
      My friend was 16 weeks as well when she took her's.

      My other friends test turned green for boy and she had a girl.

  36. QUESTION:
    How well do gender pediction tests work? (pregnancy)?
    I took a gender prediction test and it said I'm having a boy. I actually took 3 tests and they all said It's a Boy. Have you ever taken one before and was it right?
    this is my 3rd pregnancy. i already have a girl and a boy so really it dont matter if its a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      From what I've heard and other women who have taken them...they're just like any other old wives tale. It's a 50/50 chance that it's right.
      Some women it's been right but others it hasn't. I wouldn't go out and buy all boy stuff based solely on that.
      Good luck and congrats!!

  37. QUESTION:

Gender Prediction Test

Guessing the gender of baby
Nature, it seems, is a big fan of surprises. While each living day is a miracle, there is so much uncertainty inbuilt in everyday life, that almost all cultures have started believing in the concept of destiny and fate. Perhaps, this is nature's way of adding a bit of spice in our otherwise mundane existence.

There cannot be a single couple who have not spent hours wondering about the baby's gender during the term of the pregnancy. Many castles are built making the child a sports star or beauty queen months before they were born. This has led to many scientific and unscientific gender prediction techniques.

1) One old wives' tale instructs adding the urine of the pregnant mother to a cup of Drano. According to this technique, dark color of the solution indicates a baby girl. However, if the color remains unaffected, start thinking cute names for a baby boy.

2) Another one of these says that if the pregnant mother craves for fatty and sweet things like cakes and pastries, it ought to be a baby girl behind the cravings. But, if the mother gets rid of the sweet tooth and wants tangy and spicy food, it has to be a baby boy.

3) While the above mentioned gender prediction techniques are just fun tips with no rational basis, medical science has advanced considerably. Now, all it takes is a visit to an ultrasound center to know your yet-to-be-born baby gender. According to medical science, 16 weeks into pregnancy the fetus is developed enough to show gender specific characteristics. Ultrasound waves are targeted on the fetus which reflects them back. These reflected waves are analyzed by the computer to create images on the screen, which are studied by experts to know the gender, growth rate and the due date of the baby. This method comes with a high success rate and is acknowledged worldwide.

4) Nowadays, several gender prediction kits are available online and in medical stores which can compute the fetal chromosomes and DNA in blood sample to safely predict the gender of the baby from the safe confines of the home.

    • ANSWER:
      I used it and it was really accurate for me. Mine turned really dark green. Dont read the results after the 10 min mark though, it will change in color after a few mins. For a girl it will be orange no mistaken. For a boy it can be any where from amber to dark in color. If it looks green in any way count it as a boy

I took my GenderMaker test today and it stated that I am going to have a girl. I read the reviews and almost all are positive. Do all these "old-wives" tales work for you all or should I trust GenderMaker?

    • ANSWER:
      I took the Gender test with all three of my kids......They were right for all three!!! I love those test and believe in them very much!!!!

      I dont believe in old wives tales. I broke out with all three of my kids...The old wives tales says it you have a girl she will stela your beauty so you will break out..I think I broke out more with my son than I did with my girl...I am also carrying my son very high and I carried my girls low....none of the old wives tales were right for me!!!!

      The one thing that did also work for all three of my babies was the string trick...I used my wedding band and a strand of my hair and held it above my belly.....If it went in a cirlce it was a girl a straight line was a boy....that worked!!!

    I wanted to ask if anyone used gendermaker gender prediction test?
    i read many good reviews about gendermaker test, and wanted to give it a try. Did anyone use, and how was your experience with the test? Thanks in advance for your answers.

    • ANSWER:
      It is a SCAM, don't waste your money! It is IMPOSSIBLE to tell the gender of a baby using urine. The only reason these things are allowed to be sold is because they have a 50% chance of being correct as someone can only have either a boy or girl. The ONLY way to tell what you're having before giving birth is to get an ultrasound. Don't waste your money on these products, urine cannot tell the gender of a baby.

  27. QUESTION:
    Is there an accurate over the counter gender prediction test?
    I want to find out the sex of my baby and my husband doesn't. Are any of these tests real or a scam? any good ones that you would recommend?

    • ANSWER:
      The only way to know the sex of the baby is to go and get an ultrasound. There are doctors that specialize in gender determination if your doctor wont allow you to get another ultrasound. Around here they are 0, for 30 mins and they record the whole thing, which is neat.

  28. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Intelligender at home gender prediction test?
    And was it right or wrong? Im 8 weeks now and you can take the test at 10 weeks..I am wondering if I should spend on the test or just wait for an ultrasound..i have heard alot of BAD things about the test lately..

    • ANSWER:
      I asked the same thing and did some research online. I found out the test is a pain, I figured it would be peeing on a stick like hpts, but no there are several steps you have to take with your first a.m. pee, and alos that its often wrong and they do not make good on the money back guarantee, just accuse you of doing it wrong. So I just waited on the ultrasound.
      It could be fun if you don't mind literally pissing away 30 dollars.

  29. QUESTION:

I know the fumes are dangerous yada yada, I took precautions Please no rude comments just tell me your story. =)

    • ANSWER:
      at first I thought I read this wrong like "anyone ever tried drano pregnancy test?" I was like WTF?! hah sorry wandering mind and all.

    i took the intelligender prediction test it clearly said girl it was very orange and i was wondering if anyone had taken it and had an ultra sound to confirm its results.its suppose to be 90% accurate.

    • ANSWER:
      I took the test and it was right for me, but you have to follow the test exactly!! Some people don't use first morning pee and that's why they're test isn't correct. I had a friend a week behind my due date take the test and it was correct for her as well. As long as you follow the directions I've found it to be correct. We're both about to have baby boy's the first week of October! Good luck!

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, I used it and it worked for me, first I thought it said I was having a girl, then when I went back and read it you have to use your lunar age, which is your age at conception plus 9 months, so that changed my age and then it said boy, sure enough I am having a boy!

Gender Prediction Chinese Calendar

Want To Have A Boy? Try These Techniques
Natural gender selection has been practiced for centuries and while there are plenty of Old Wive's Tales, some of them are actually grounded in scientific fact. Naturally, there is no 100% guarantee that following these techniques will result in having a child be the gender you want, they can increase the likelihood that you will.
If you are trying to have a boy, it is important to remember that the sperm that carry the Y chromosome, the one responsible for determining the male gender, are much different than the sperm that carry the X chromosome, or the one that is responsible for determining the female gender.
The Y sperm are smaller and more agile, and they can reach the egg much quicker. However, they don't live as long as the X sperm do and they have some limitations when it comes to dealing with the PH of your body. Let's look at the factors that can assist the Y sperm in reaching the egg first, resulting in a boy. Your PH Balance and Your Diet
Y sperm require a PH balance that is more alkalai than acidic. This means that you will need to adjust your diet somewhat. Foods that are rich in potassium and sodium are ideal if you are trying to have a boy. This includes foods like red meat, bananas, peaches and sausage.
Getting Your Timing Right
Timing is crucial if you want the Y sperm to reach the egg before the X sperm do. This means that you will need to schedule intercourse as closely as possible to the day that you ovulate. The egg is viable for a period of 24 hours, and this will give the Y sperm enough of a chance to reach the egg while they are still viable as well.
Choosing the Right Position
The position that you choose also affects how quickly the Y sperm will reach the egg. It is important to use a position that will allow for deep penetration and the man must orgasm as closely to the neck of the cervix as possible. Positions that allow for this include woman dominant, or woman on top as well as doggy style or rear entry.
Other Factors
Interestingly enough, if a woman orgasms before a man does, it increases the chances of having a boy. This is due to the fact of the secretions within the vagina that occur during an orgasm. They shift the balance of the PH to more alkaline, allowing the Y sperm the perfect environment they need to make it through the cervix.
What to Remember
Again, there is no 100% guarantee that you will be able to conceive a boy using these methods, but it does increase your chances significantly. No matter what gender your child ends up being, the important thing is that they are healthy. It's fun to try and naturally select the gender of your child, but at the end of the day there are many different factors that will ultimately decide their sex.

  7. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction calendar ... Just curious!?
    I'm newly pregnant with baby number three. I have two boys. Just for fun, I went to a web site with the Chinese calendar that predicts your baby's gender. I put in the required info and it came up saying my baby should be a girl. Just to "test" its accuracy, I put in the info to check what it said for my other two. It said both of them should have been girls, too. Hmm... I wonder if that means this one will be a boy as well!

    Anyone else have a similar situation? Have you gotten any correct responses using those calendars?

    I know the best way to find out the baby's gender is by ultrasound, but I'm not going to be due for one of those for a while! Can't wait!
    Wait. I just used a different web site and it got my first two right (both boys) and it says for this one that it's a girl... Week 20 can't get here fast enough!!

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me 3 times....

      1st- 18 when conceived in may = boy
      2nd- 20 when conceived in july = boy
      3rd- 22 when conceived in october = girl

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, they were wrong for both of my children. It's more for fun.

  11. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar? Has it came out true to you?
    Ever since I found out about my pregnancy I am so curious to what my baby is. I think about it everyday. I have done some research to see if I can find out before that 20 weeks ultra sound what i'm having (i'm just 10 weeks). I looked into the old wives tales, and looked at a dozen Chinese Calendars, but i'm still not convinced. If you know about this, what are the symptoms of having a boy and what are symptoms for girls?
    How do you really read the Chinese Calendar? Some say currant age and month when baby was conceived,

    and some age when the baby is born, and conception. So it confuses me.

    • ANSWER:
      the calender was wrong on both of mine but hey you have a 50/50 chance of it being right for you right lol good luck and congrats

  13. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar and if ever, did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It is not really something that you can go by. That's kind of like if you eat certain things you will have a girl. I don't believe in it. I think it is just coincidence. I just recently looked back at it, and going by my age and all when I got pregnant I should have a boy and that is what I had. But like I said, it's just coincidence. Good luck though.

  14. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Lunar Calendar gender prediction, really???
    Like the one found at http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm? I tried it, and it says I'm having a girl this time (still have several months to wait before an ultrasound will hopefully be able to tell). I checked it with my previous 5 pregnancies, and it was 100% accurate for them. What are the chances that it will be as accurate this time around? Anyone else had such good results?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think it's really accurate because I went to 7 different websites trying the gender prediction test and 4 of the websites said that I was having a girl and 3 said that I was having a boy.

  15. QUESTION:
    Have any of you ever done the chinese lunar calendar gender prediction?

  20. QUESTION:
    chinese gender prediction calendars...?
    have any of you used a chinese gender prediction calendar before you found out the sex of your baby? i have looked at a few and they all say that if i conceived this month, i will have a boy, and if i didn't, and i conceive in the next 3 months, it will be a girl.

    just wandering how accurate you think these things are, i don't mind what gender baby i have as long as it's a healthy baby, but i was just curious to see if they all said the same.
    i had a look at the webwomb.com calendar and it said the same as the others i looked at. if i conceived this month, i would have a boy, and the next 3 months, i would have a girl :)

    • ANSWER:
      I have been looking at this also. It is right for my son. I am pregnant now, 4 weeks and 3 days. It says this one will be a girl. We will have to wait till my 20 week scan to find out. I know people who it works for and who it doesn't. Its just a myth. Its not to be taken seriously.

      Just went onto webwomb.com and it says a boy. So one says a girl and one says a girl lol.

  21. QUESTION:
    Does anyone believe in that chinese calendar gender predictions?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, for both my pregnancies it said boy and both are girls. For my sister it said girl and she had a boy. So I don't think it's accurate, but some people swear by it.

    chinese calendar and gender predicition?
    Has anyone tried the chinese calendar method or any other method for gender prediction?? and has it worked with you..??

    • ANSWER:
      Worked in 3 of my 4 pregnancies... but then again, with a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong, I can't say I recommend relying on it!

      We did not find out the sex of our babies, except for the last (our 3rd boy in a row!). I think it's fun to be surprised at the end... but with so much technology and grandmas drooling over which baby clothes to buy, I can see why not many people go this route. Nonetheless, it is still fun!

    chinese lunar calender/gender prediction?
    http://www.parentingweekly.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm

    How many of you used the fabled Chinese Lunar Calender to predict your child's gender and it was CORRECT??? Above is a link to the site if you haven't done it yet BUT ALREADY know the sex of your baby. I want to see just how right it is.

    P.S. You can always look up your dates for a baby that's already here, say your firstborn or something just to see.

    My 20-week ultrasound is Tuesday anyway, but i'm just so curious. The anticipation is killing me! tee hee ;o) My firstborn is a bouncing baby boy. He's 18 months already! Time flies. He will be 23 months when the baby is born.

    Thanks for your input ladies!

  33. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction?
    Go to this site see if it works. Don't try with the othersites since they don't explain that you have to add 9 months to your age at conception. Please tell me your results was it accurate. It was with my last two but we aren't finding out the sex on this one and i'm curious how accurate it is.

    http://www.parentingweekly.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm
    Love my angel: I'm not a moron i can read that... Don't worry i'm not going out and buying boy stuff just cause it says i'm having a boy.

    • ANSWER:

  35. QUESTION:
    How old was I when I had my baby? (kind of tricky??)?
    Okay, my birthday is on August 31st, but I had my baby on August 27th. I'm wondering if I should put that I was 19 when I had my kid or should it be 20 since I was turning 20 four days after I had him anyway? (this is for the Chinese Calendar gender prediction table). I was wondering what I should really put....in my opinion I was 20???? (technically 19, but turning 20 four days later would count...right??).

    Thanks all for your answers :D

    • ANSWER:
      I've got an easier way:

      Use this website, you just put in your birthday and the conception date and they will calculate everything for you! It only works if you use your lunar age and the lunar month of conception (which this site does for you!)

  36. QUESTION:
    I finally had my baby!?
    Hi to my contacts and anyone else in preg & parenting section. My baby finally arrived, 11 days overdue, and I went into labour spontaneously the day before I was booked for induction.

    Anyway... I had a little boy (the Chinese gender prediction calendar was wrong!) weighing 7lbs 9ozs. We've named him Daniel.

    I've now experienced both a natural labour and an induced labour and I can definitely say that neither one was more or less painful than the other.

    Just to make this a question so it doesn't get deleted... Has anyone else had their baby very recently, or due in the next few days?
    Yes, Dan for short! Not so keen on Danny but I guess he'll decide for himself when he's old enough. x

  37. QUESTION:
    Does anybody believe in gender prediction?
    My Mom swears by the Farmer's Almanac's ability to predict what sex my baby will be. There is also the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Anybody else believe in these?

    • ANSWER:
      I do. For my first pregnancy, the Chinese Lunar calendar said that i will be having a girl, and i did. We planned the second one, a boy is what we had in mind, and we did. My second is a boy. But also, there are different calendars out there. I went by the one on BabyZone.com

  38. QUESTION:
    gender prediction just to play a little bit?
    I been looking around the chinese calendar because my husband and me are thinking of having a baby next year, but i been looking and the thing that my age right now is 24 and it says that to conceived at age 25 in october to have a boy but my birhtday is on October 31 does anyone know how to get the results if my birthday is in the same month as what my age is asking in the calendar

    • ANSWER:
      According to the chinese gender predictor, to conceive a boy at age 25, you need to conceive in the months of Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., or Dec. that you are 25.

      So, the way I understand it is if you turn 25 on Oct 31, 2010 and want a boy, you would need to ttc in the months of Nov., Dec, 2010 and Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., and Oct. of 2011 (those are the months you would be 25).

      The chinese gender predictor was right for our first girl, but wrong for our second, so good luck with that! It has a 50% chance of being right!

  39. QUESTION:
    Intelligender and Chinese Prediction calender?
    Hey all, I'm only 7w4d Pregnant but I picked up the Intelligender test to try at 10 weeks just for fun!

    What are your experiences with them, have they been correct for you?

    Also, How about the Chinese prediction calenders. Your suppose to follow your age, and then go across the board to your conception month. Now when I first tried this I was 21 Just 2 weeks ago, said it was a "girl" I recently turned 22 and now it says boy. Do I go by the age I was when I fist found out I was pregnant or what? and was this accurate for you?

    I'm obviously not going to go out and buy a bunch of pinks or blues based on the reading from Intelligender or the gender calendar, I just think It's really fun to think about!

    Thanks :D

    • ANSWER:
      Never tried the Intelligender, I want to too only 5w5d right now though lol, as for Chinese calendar you go by your Chinese Lunar Age, I just turned 27 in May but according to my Lunar age I am 28, it says I am having a boy, if all goes well I hope it's true. I had a girl when i was 23 and it said I was having a girl.

  41. QUESTION:
    At home gender prediction test....?
    Has anybody taken one of those at home gender prediction tests? When were you able to take it and was it right? Why did you decide to take it?

    I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I kinda want to take one for fun but was wondering how accurate they really are. Everyone says I'm going to have a boy and that would be great but I was just curious. Also the Chinese Lunar Calendar says it'll be a boy too. In some ways I want a girl and in some ways I want a boy. So I'd be happy either way... I was just curious if I could even take the result as a hint or not. :)

    • ANSWER:
      The at home gender test you can take at any point past 10 weeks. the genitals dont need to be formed, as the test is done by hormones not by seeing if the baby has this or that down there.
      the chinese test is pretty awesome. most people i know, it was right for :-)
      good luck.

  42. QUESTION:
    How accurate are these Chinese calendars?

    http://pregnancyandbaby.sheknows.com/pregnancy/baby/Chinese-conception-gender-chart-9.htm

    Can anyone else tell me who has had a child if these predictions are accurate? I thought this was fun. I don't care what the baby is as long as it's healthy. I'll find out at the end of next week, can't wait. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      it was right with my first 2 babies so I'm praying it's right with this one!!!!

  43. QUESTION:
    Which Chinese Baby Gender Chart is the right version?!?!?
    There are so many different kinds online. I googled "chinese baby gender chart" and hit "images" and there are like, 10 of them, some with the same info and some that have completely different gender predictions. ALL say they are one that was found buried in Beijing! If you have gotten an accurate prediction, which chart did you use? I know you are supposed to add 2 years to your western age between Chinese New Year (2/7/08) and your birthday, then only add 1 year after your birthday to calculate lunar age. I just need to know which friggin calendar is the right one? THANKS!

    • ANSWER:
      None of them. The gender of your baby will have nothing to do with how old the mother was and what month it was when she conceived. The baby's gender is solely determined by whether a XX or XY sperm reached the egg first.

  44. QUESTION:
    Does anybody know how to calculate lunar, help?
    i want to implement a gender prediction program based on chinese calendar the problem is that i need to calculate the lunar age of an individual. whats the formular

    • ANSWER:
      If you want calculations for the position, physical ephemeris, configuration etc of the moon, sun, planetary bodies the US Naval Observatory site can provide a lot of it online. http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php

      If you can't find it there or you want to be able to do it without going online you might purchase the MICA software available there, which is fare more comprehensive.

Gender Prediction Quizzes

Predicting Your Baby's Gender Using Old Wives Tales
Pink or blue? This question seems to play in every expecting mother's mind, always. Scientifically, there are medical ways in which the sex of a baby can be determined before it is born. This can require you to go through some medical tests which are performed at the end of specific weeks. Alternatively, you can rely on the old wives tale baby gender determining questions, the answers to which can be a fun way to find out the sex of the child that you are carrying inside you.

Although considered by some overly scientific minds to be not a precise and reliable source, the old wives tale baby gender determination is recommended by many mothers who have been successful in determining the sex with its help. It is more a matter of faith than scientific precision and can be tried out if you are in the mood of predicting the sex of your baby through natural way. However, keep in mind that these are based on assumptions and have a 50-50 successful prediction rate. So try it out, only for FUN!

The rules that escort sex determination in the old wives tale baby gender guide are very easy to follow and find out. For instance, they say that if an expecting mother looks beautiful, it's a boy and if she loses out on beauty, it is likely to be a girl. Another theory which is highly popular with pregnant ladies is that, if the pregnant belly is satisfactorily round and big and placed high up, the little one hiding inside is a girl. On the other hand, if the belly is relatively smaller and lies low and protruded then chances are that the baby is a boy. A great fun idea is entwined in the Key Test. It is said that if the mother picks up the key from the top, that is the rounder part, then it is a boy and if she picks it up at the elongated bottom portion, then it is a girl. And in case, the mother picks it up from the middle, it definitely calls for celebration - its twins!

The old wives tale baby gender determination is an age old theory which has been relied upon by mothers and grandmothers and it still continues to be a fun guide for trendy moms who are expecting.

    I'm into the gender prediction quizzes. Tonight I took 6 quizzes, and 4 said it's a boy. Obviously I'm not basing everything on this, but every one of my husband's cousins had boys born first. What do you think?

    PS: 15 1/2 wks pregnant, I will find out sometime in March.

    • ANSWER:
      Don't pay too much attention to those they are basically fun little guessing games.

  6. QUESTION:
    Was gender prediction accurate for you?
    Ok so i am obsessed lol. I have an ultrasound in about a week to find out the sex of our third and final baby. We are really hoping for a boy this time as we have two little girls right now. So, I tried those gender prediction quizzes online because this pregnancy is so different then both my girls were. Every single one says 90% boy! I hate it because i dont want to get my hopes up and i know i should have just stayed away but curiousity killed the cat and its killing me too! lol. SO how many of you had the same kind of outcome on the gender predictors and it ended up being true?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a gender prediction kit you can buy at Wallgreens. It's kind of expensive though, but if it puts your mind at ease, why not. Hope it's a boy! I knew a couple that had five girls trying to have a boy! Good Luck!

  7. QUESTION:
    Anyone have their own accurate wives tales for gender prediction?
    I have been to the doctor 3 times to find out the baby is facing the wrong way. i am becoming dissapointed. I am 5 months pregnant and do not have anything for my child. I looked online and took quizzes and the result is always 50/50...that sucks. I was wondering if anyone has experienced that the wives tales were true or any of their own.

    Im am carrying low, craves fruits, heart beat at 171, no morning sicknesss(my mom didnt have any either and she had girls), im not really showing,

    • ANSWER:
      No. That's all they are. Tales! I'm carrying low. I crave salty food and can barely stand chocolate. Heartbeat is in the 130's-140's. Chinese gender chart said I was having a boy. I'm having a girl! Got a great shot of her parts at my 21 week ultrasound!

  8. QUESTION:

  9. QUESTION:
    Silly question about gender prediction....?
    Every pregnancy website i go to..... has had a section on predicting babies gender, quizzes, old wives tales ect..... My question is who has taken these silly quizzes and what did they predict and what did you end up having? or what did ultrasound show??? I'm just curious, because i dont believe these things work, but some people swear these things are accurate. So if you could kindly share your thoughts!!! because everyone of those quizzes and old wives tales i've tried (out of curiousity and boredom) has predicted a girl... no rudeness please....... its not necessary.
    lol yes its really hard!!! i want to know sooooooo bad, and i really want a girl. but....... everyone i know is having a little girl so i think im going to be the rebel and have a boy. but all these things keep saying girl which again makes me think yeah right your having a boy i just know it lol......... everyone says they want me to have a girl ima have a boy thats what i think.

    • ANSWER:
      I was convinced that i was having a hermaphrodite because about half of the wives tales said boy, and half said girl. I am having a boy here, and as I got further into the pregnancy, more and more of the boy wives tales seem to be true, but I could be just imagining it becaue I already know the sex too.

      it's hard to wait for the ultrasound/birth isn't it?

  10. QUESTION:
    gender prediction question?
    I am 22 weeks along. I was wondering if any of you know any reliable gender prediction method. I know most of those are old wives tales. My ultrasound date is a bit far but I wanted to check for fun if there are any myths/quizzes that were correct for you! I would try them to see if these myths or tests or any other methods are correct. Thanks for taking the time to answer

    • ANSWER:
      Most all the myths are just that and are not going to apply to everyone. The only reason people believe in them is b/c they have a 50/50 chance of being right. The Chinese lunar thing claimed I would be having a girl and I am not and the hair on my legs has actually stopped growing, not growing faster like they say happens with a boy. The only way to know quickly and for sure besides ultrasound is the the pink or blue test.

  11. QUESTION:
    Just for fun... Boy or Girl?
    We will be finding out what we are having in a few weeks, I am currently around 15 weeks. Just curious to see what other moms think I am having. I have done “gender prediction quizzes” on probably every website that has one. Every single one of
    said girl, but I still don’t believe them. Most are just made for fun anyways. Chinese calendar says boy.

    Cravings: Pineapple, OJ, all other fruits too. Anything starchy (Potatoes, pasta, etc) or Acidic.
    Carrying: right in the middle no extra weight anywhere else… yet. Lol.
    Rings over belly on a string: side to side
    No Acne, my hair has body (for once), felt blah for a couple weeks but other than that no morning sickness.

    That’s all I can think of right now… Just lemme know what you think!  THANK YOU!!
    OH YEAH, Thanks! Beats per minute=156!

    • ANSWER:
      My guess is Boy! mainly on the cravings and no morning sickness. but im having a girl and didnt have morning sickness either.

      whats the heart beat per min.?

      My little girls heartbeat was 156 bpm 4 out of 5 visits!

  12. QUESTION:
    Before you found out the gender??
    Did you take any online gender prediction tests for fun and most of them said, "You're having a boy/girl!" Did they come out to be true? I am just curious because I have my ultrasound this Friday and have been doing online quizzes for fun and most of them said I'm having a boy...

    • ANSWER:
      I did, they said I was having a girl. I am really having a boy but it was fun anyway! Congrats to you!!

  13. QUESTION:
    Boy or Girl?? Just for fun...?
    At my 20 week scan on Tuesday (20w+2) my babies measurements are:

    Head circumference 167mm

    Abdominal circumference 144mm

    Thigh bone length 33mm

    The babies heartbeat is 34 beats per minute at last check.

    I wouldn't say I have had any craving yet but I am loving Chewits and Starburst etc... along with anything salty like crisps.

    Since the 12 week scan I have only put on 4 or 5 pounds and it all seems to be on my small bump and my chest.

    Chinese gender prediction charts tell me I'm having a boy whereas quizzes tell me Im more likely to have a girl.

    My mum showed her copy of my scan pic to her friend at work (nurses in a hospital) and they all separately said "ooh it's a boy"
    Their reason was a dark patch on the abdomen. Apparently one way to tell the sex if the umbilical cord is blocking the essential area is to look for dark patches - 2 in a girl which are her ovaries and 1 in a boy.

    I said that the dark patch could just be a full bladder...

    Here's the picture in question...

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/40451787@N05/?saved=1

    So bringing together all of your knowledge of ultrasounds and old wives tales can I have you best guesses??

    Thanks!
    Edit - Thanks Sxenerdx! I'm afraid it's against my hospitals policy to tell us the sex so it's all a guessing game for me.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm going to say ... Boy!! Are you going to tell us soon?! : )

      Congrats on your pregnancy. He looks like he's going to be a cutie ; )

      Edit- Serious? That is the dumbest policy!!! I hope I am right! LOL. Did you want a boy or girl?

  14. QUESTION:
    What are your favorite...?
    gender prediction websites? Of course they are just for fun (so no answers about not believing in them) I just wanted to know what most women trust in and if the website was right or wrong for them! There are tons of old wives tale quizzes that are fun!
    As I said....they are obviously just for fun! I was just asking peoples favorites but thanks for the negativity!

  15. QUESTION:
    how tall do you think i'll be?
    k, so, since i was 13, i've been super insecure about my height.
    i've always been taller than everyone else in my class.
    i've taken online height prediction quizzes, they all say i'll be 5'11-6'.
    so here's some things you might need to know about me.

    age: 15.
    gender: female.
    current height: 5'11.
    i'm not sure how much i weigh.
    i just turned 15 a couple weeks ago. i measure myself everyday, it's an OCD thing.
    i just measured myself again, and it says i'm 5'11 now. two weeks ago, i was 5'10.
    i know i should learn to just deal with being tall, since i clearly can't do anything to change it. but it's easier said than done.
    my mom is 5'10, and my dad is 6'3.
    I know that those online height calculators aren't always accurate. So, tell me your thoughts, & how tall you think i'll be? I can only hope i'm done growing.
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      It really matters with the way you are. How often do you grow, if you remember. I know I grow about an inch every year. I'd have to say maybe 6'-6'1 at the most. Don't drink milk lol

Gender Predict

Predicting Baby Gender - The Way to Pick Boy or Girl for Your Future Infant
Have you ever considered the possibilty of predicting baby gender. Perhaps there is a certain gender you are really hoping for. With gender selection techniques, you are able to make it more favorable for you to get the gender of your dreams.

These approaches are centered around the truth that the sperm who carry Y chromosomes (that are essential for a little boy) are quite different from the semen that carry the X chromosome (which are necessary for a little girl). By realizing these variations, and selecting the right strategies, you're creating an environment exactly where one kind of sperm can outperform the other and get to the primary location very first. Let's take a look at what it is possible to do.

The right Diet plan
Y sperm demand an enivornment that's alkalai in nature, although X sperm need to have far more acid. The PH levels of your body establish how thick the cervical discharge is and no matter whether or not the needed sperm is going to be able to get by way of successfully. As a way to have a little girl, you'll want to consume a diet which is wealthy in calcium and magnesium. To be able to have a male, a diet plan wealthy in potassium and sodium is needed.
The correct Time
The timing of when you have intercourse can greatly affect predicting baby gender. Since the Y semen must reach the egg as speedily as probable, it really is required to time sex to the day that you simply ovulate to enhance your chances of having a son. They are going to be able to reach the ovum even though they are still viable.

But to be able to have a female, you have to give the Y semen time to die off, allowing the a lot more sturdy X semen behind. This means that you will must time sex to roughly two to three days before ovulation. This gives the X semen much more than enough time to reach the egg.

The correct Position
The position you pick for sexual intercourse may also decide predicting baby gender. The Y semen have to reach their destination in as small time as achievable. Consequently they need to be presented as close to the cervix as feasible, shortening the trip they must take to the egg. Positions that permit for deep penetration are ideal.

As a way to have a little girl, you have to make it more challenging for the Y semen to reach their goal on time. Which means that positions where shallow penetration is achieved are required. The semen will likely be deposited farther away from the cervix, providing the X semen the chance they need to reach the egg, and permitting the Y semen to die off.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    When's the best time to get an ultrasound to predict gender?
    I am hoping to have a gender predicting ultrasound around 18 weeks. Some people suggest waiting up until 20 weeks. I was wondering if anyone had gone to get an ultrasound at around 18 weeks, and it turned out to be the opposite gender. My mother had one about 20 years ago, and said that my sister was going to be a boy. She was quite surprised when she turned out to be a girl at birth!

    • ANSWER:
      While I've also heard that it's best to wait until 20 weeks instead of 18, the technician had no problems determining both my children's genders at 18 weeks (and for the first ultrasound I was morbidly obese, which makes everything so much harder for the ultrasound).

      That ultrasound is supposed to be about checking the baby's health and development, so it's best not to delay just for gender determination.

  2. QUESTION:
    Anyone know of a good way to predict gender?
    Just for fun... Old wives tales? Something that you did and was right about the gender? Other than ultrasound or amnio, is there a way to "predict" what sex the baby will be? ;)

    • ANSWER:
      I heard something before about peeing in draino, or something like that. I wish I could remember. It turns a certain color depending on the sex. Everyone I know that has tried it, it worked.

  3. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  4. QUESTION:
    How can you predict the gender of a baby while pregnant?
    My mom is pregnant and I was wondering if there were any special ways to predict a baby's gender before the sonogram at 5 months. This is just for fun, so don't say anything like "Go to the doctor". Thanks! I'll pick best answer in a few hours!

    • ANSWER:
      Some old wives tales that proved true for me:
      if you crave sweets its a girl
      (if you crave meats boy)
      if you get acne and your hair just will not behave, its because your daughter is taking all of your beauty.
      Also you can google a Chinese prediction calendar, that has worked for me and all of my friends.

      All this stuff if just for fun so I wouldn't go crazy with buying gender specific stuff until you see parts on a sonogram.

  5. QUESTION:
    What Tricks have you tried to predict the Gender?
    We all know that there are hundreds of ways to "predict" the gender of your unborn baby before getting an ultrasound.

    The wedding ring trick is one of them.

    One that I've tried is the Chinese gender predictor- apparently I'm going to have a girl-- But I don't want to buy into it, just yet.

    Are there any tricks that you've tried, and they've actually come out to be true?

    • ANSWER:
      I've tried the chinese gender thing and i'm supposed to have a girl too.....cant wait to find out...I hope its a girl

      theres also the babys heart rate.....low heart rate its a boy higher heart rate its a girl....my babys was only 120 :( but who knows....I guess I'll find out later!

  6. QUESTION:
    Can they really predict the gender with a take home test before the ultrasound?
    I was in the grocery store yesterday looking at pregnancy take home tests (baby dust to me!) when I saw a test that said Predict the Gender: Boy or Girl! Can this be accurate at all? It was worth around .

    • ANSWER:
      www.intelligender.com

      I was thinking of getting one just for fun. you have to be at least 10 weeks along. the website has FAQ's. It also says in clinical tests it is 90% accurate.

  8. QUESTION:
    Were you able to predict the gender of your baby?
    I think I'm going to have a boy. The first time I thought I was going to have a girl, and I was right. Do you think some women are intuitive enough to predict their baby's gender? Were you able to predict your baby's gender? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, with both of my children I dreamed I was pregnant and delivered a boy/girl. This always happened right before I found out I was pregnant. The first time I dreamed I had a girl, and I did. Then the second time I dreamed I had a boy, and I did. I am pregnant again, and this time I dreamed I had a boy and a girl, so I really praying this one isn't correct lol. I order my babies one at a time :)

  9. QUESTION:
    How to predict gender of a baby during pregnency?
    Any reliable method to find the gender of a baby during prgnency?

    • ANSWER:
      Absolutely not. Other than when you can actually see the genitalia in an ultrasound/sonogram, there is no way to predict gender of an infant.

  10. QUESTION:
    Anyone know some old wives tales to predict gender?
    I was wanting to hear some old wives tales on predicting gender, just if you know a few. Also, please include if you have actually done them yourself and if they have actually worked.

    • ANSWER:
      I have done the string test and have looked at the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Both have been accurate for both of my children. The string test is where you tie a string on a needle and then stick the needle in a pencil eraser. Then you hold the needel and let the pencil dangle above your wrist. The pencil will start circling and then straighten out. If it goes across your wrist (left and right) it is a boy. If it goes up and down on your wrist, it is a girl. It can actually tell you the sex of the kids you have now and what the sex of the one you are carrying. The pencil will circle between each kid. For example, when I did it, it started circling, then went up and down, circled again, went left to right, circled again, and then went up and down. I currently have a girl, boy, and now it says girl again. The Chinese Lunar calendar takes your age at conception and month you conceived to figure out the sex.

  11. QUESTION:
    How can we predict the gender of our baby?
    My fiancee is pregnant. I have found a method of predicting the sex of our baby, called the Chinese Gender Prediction Chart. This is supposedly over 90% accurate. The only problem is, the ages start at 18, I have never seen a chart that includes ages before 18. My fiancee was 17 at conception. Anyone know of any charts that include minors?

    Thanks! Have a good day!!!
    According to Angel Eye's link, its gonna be a boy! We were hoping for a girl...

    Oh well, we'll love it all the same!!!

    • ANSWER:
      here is a site where you type in the date of conception and the mothers date of birth, then it will tell you your babies sex.

    Chinese calendar to predict your babies gender?
    I was looking at the Chinese calendar to predict my babies gender, how accurate do you think the calendar is?

    • ANSWER:
      You know, it was accurate with my first one. But this one I'm pregnant with.......when we first found out we were pregnant we looked at the calendar and it said we were going to have a girl for the rest of the year, but then yesterday I went back and it said BOY for the two months I conceived around so I'm not really sure if there is just more than one calendar or what, I know I didn't read it wrong !

  15. QUESTION:
    Can heart rate taken during an ultrasound predict gender?
    I read online that if your baby has a heart rate above 160 it's very likely it's a girl. Is there any truth to this?

    • ANSWER:
      Well that's just another one of those superstitions. By my baby's heart rate a few people told me it would be a girl but it was a he. There is no sure way to know until you do the ultrasound to find out the gender and even then it's not always that positive.

    If you're interested, how much would you pay for it?

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds interesting, but I wouldn't get it to actually try to predict the gender. Maybe just out of interestin the myths/wives tales.

  18. QUESTION:
    Has anyone that used the Chinese Birth Chart to Predict Gender had it be Wrong?
    I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with my second child. I am having a completely different pregnancy with this one than the first. I am anxious to find out gender. I looked at the Chinese Birth Chart and it says Boy. It was correct with my daughter. Anyone ever find it wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      The chart told me girls both times, and they are each little boys.
      But the wedding band thing worked for me both times. I tied a piece of my hair to my wedding band and dangled it over my belly and it began to swing back and forth (which means boy). If it begins to make a circular motion than it means girl.
      I don't think any of those "wives tales" or whatever work, but for fun we decided to try out a few for my pregnancies and see which ones were right.

I'm only 9 weeks so I have a ways to go before I find out, but I was wondering if there were any signs people had that made them believe they were having a boy or a girl? The chinese chart gender predictor told me I'm having a boy but I have a hard time believing that every woman my age that concieved in june is having a boy aswell.

      You can't, you'll have to wait for an ultrasound.

    I would like to know if there are any books, website, or any zodiac expert that could make a prediction on what gender my baby will be, based on my zodiac &/or Birthday. I'm a Cancer born on 7/15, BTW.

    • ANSWER:
      As far as I know, there is no astrological way to predict the gender of your baby with any accuracy at all. If there is, I imagine it's some greatly held secret, because it seems that no legitimate astrologers would ever tell you they know the gender of your baby for sure.

    Predict Baby Gender? How can i make this happen people? Im hoping their is some actual way!?
    You guys already know why i would want to know something like this. I already have a son and i want to predict baby gender for the next one, I want a girl. im looking for something easy that my husband wouldn't notice because he wants another boy. So please don't spam me i just want good quality responses!

    • ANSWER:
      Hey Linda, Your in luck because their are actually a few methods that are extremly easy to test out and all natural. Trust me i understand that to Predict Baby Gender is extremely important when trying to create a family balance. I myself just gave birth to my 2nd child and it was our second boy, and yes we wanted both boys and with actually implenting these methods we got the results we seeked. Now many people will say its virtually impossible and yes that is true when using expensive medical products and other artificial methods.

      Here is 1 Natural Method to predict baby gender:

      Timing & PH Levels

      There are certain (short) periods of time when a woman is more likely to conceive either a boy or a girl. This is dependent on what a woman's natural acidity or alkalinity levels are. Basically, it works like this:

      If a woman's PH level is predisposed to be highly acidic, she is more likely to have a girl. This is due to high acid levels killing off high numbers of male (Y Chromosome sperm) sperm, but leaving female (X Chromosome sperm) sperm unaffected.

      if a woman's PH level is predisposed to be highly alkaline, she is far more likely to have a boy. This is in large part due to the fact that high alkaline levels are harmful to female sperm, but harmless to male sperm. Ovulation timing is a critical factor as well. The good news is...it's easy to know when you are ovulating. I'll show you how.

  23. QUESTION:
    can anyone predict gender of the fetus with the heart beat?
    Am 8 weeks pregnant my baby's heart rate is 149 per minute,with this can anyone guess my baby's gender

    • ANSWER:
      The old wives tale suggest that fetal heart rates above 140 bpm are a sure sign it's going to be a girl and fetal heart rates below 140 bpm mean it's a boy. This "theory" is based on the fact that girls have higher metabolisms than boys, unfortunately there is no statistical proof to verify this tale and in fact the evidence indicates that there is no relationship between heart rate and sex.

  24. QUESTION:
    How did you predict what gender your baby would be?
    This is Just for fun...
    Did you have a dream, did you base it on science, did you have some other way of guessing, and where you right?

    • ANSWER:
      With my first pregnancy, I did have one dream that I was having a little girl. I bought clothes for both though just to be on the safe side. One day when I was going through all I needed to still get, it just hit me~~~I was having a girl! This is long before my ultra-sound was done, and sure enough, a girl!
      Now my second pregnancy, I was so mad and all around moody, plus carrying lower, so I at first figured I was having a boy. I was sorting through baby clothes to find my newborn items, and again it just hit me super hard "What am I doing? I'm having another girl". Again before ultra-sound, again 100% accurate! Sometimes mothers intuition can be the best guide!

They are now 3 and 5. (YES I USED BIRTH CONTROL AND IT DIDNT WORK) Happy it didn't though. I am excited that I am pregnant again. They even refer to the baby as their sister.

    Any other ways to predict a babys gender before 20 week scan?
    I am only 8 weeks pregnant and have looked at that chinese gender chart.... that says I should be having a boy.
    I have also tried that chart out on about 8 or so of my friends who have had or having a baby and it was correct for all of them also.

    I am not far gone enough to try any of those old wives tales with te wedding rings etc so does anyone know of any other charts or anything (just for fun i know) that may help me determine the gender?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese gender chart was right for my daughter and i was sure i was going to have another girl this time as it said girl but its most definantly a boy!

      Once you have had your 12 week scan have a browse online for the nub theory, know a lot more people who have been predicted correct using that theory but you do need a 12 week scan pic

We have 2 daughters already.We both guessed girl with our second & were correct, while with our first we both said boy and it was a girl. So I'm truly not sure this time around!

    So in the weeks prior to finding out your babies gender.. did you guess the right/wrong gender? or did you have no clue at all?

    Just curious :) Thanks!

    • ANSWER:

    • ANSWER:

  33. QUESTION:
    Did you do the ring over the belly test to predict the gender?
    What I'm referring to is where you tie a string to a ring and hold it over your belly (or your wrist) to see if you're having a boy or a girl. Supposedly, if it goes in circles it's a boy. If it goes back and forth it's a girl. I know it's a wives tale, but just for fun (amuse me), did you do it? And, was it accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      I did do that when I was pregnanat with my son (just for fun). It turned out to be accurate, but as the previous answerer stated I had a 50/50 shot. I wouldn't actually put too much stock in it.

  34. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      hate to burst every one's bubble
      i'm carrying low and all out in front (should be a boy)
      baby moves a practically all the time
      and the Chinese gender chart says it's a boy

      but she is definitely a girl

      ultrasounds are the only non-speculative way of determining gender
      well i have also heard that an Amniocentesis can tell as well but i'm not sticking a needle in my belly for a bunch of test results that are commonly false positives

  35. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the Chinese Gender Chart to predict the sex of your baby, and did it work?
    I'm only 7 weeks along but really want to have a girl...I just checked, and it says that since I conceived in September and am 26 years old, it will be a girl. I checked other people's (when friends conceived their babies, when my mom conceived myself and my brother), and it seems to be pretty accurate.

    Anyone try it?

    • ANSWER:
      I tried it too, I really wanted a girl, and confirmed at 20 weeks that it is a girl!! But I really do believe its just a coincidence. But it does make you feel better!! I was very nervous up until I went for my appt, but just be happy with a healthy baby!!!

  36. QUESTION:
    Did you correctly predict the gender of your first child?
    Either while you were trying to get pregnant or when you first found out you were pregnant did you know whether you were having a boy or a girl? Did you just get that feeling?

    • ANSWER:
      I just absolutely knew as soon as I thought I was pregnant that I was having a girl. I knew for a few weeks, then decided that I was pregnant with a boy. I knew I was having a boy but something inside me said girl. So I was so up in the air and not too surprised when I found out. I am almost 20 weeks pregnant with a boy.

  37. QUESTION:
    I have heard that you can predict the gender of your child based on how fast their heart beats? True or False?
    I am 14 weeks pregnant and have a doctor's check up today...and will hear the heart beat. I have decided not to learn the gender but am curious if anyone has found this to be true. My daughter's heart rate was 155 the entire pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      I've seen it to be mostly true but you know of course that every pregnancy is different.

      I'd be kind of anxious to find out, but hopefully it will be an interesting and fun experience to keep guessing. Have fun at your appointment today!

  38. QUESTION:
    can the chinese calendar really predict the gender of your baby?

    Like if your carrying low youll have a boy?

    • ANSWER:
      I've read a lot and I've been told a lot. Here is what I've been told so far:

      If you can't tell your pregnant from the back side of you-its a girl
      If your feet are warmer than usual-its a girl
      If your craving orange juice-its a girl
      If the hair on your legs grow faster than usual-its a boy
      If there is more activity going on inside your tummy with the baby moving-its a girl
      If you stick straight out-its a girl
      If your just boobs and belly-boy
      If you feel sexier-its a boy
      If you feel ugly-its a girl
      If you crave fruits-its a girl
      If you crave sweets-its a girl
      If you crave spicy food-its a girl
      If you crave sour and bitter foods- its a boy
      LOL. i could go on. The list is endless. But the most positive way to find out is when the baby is born. I have my hopes up now for my ultrasound on Dec. 10th. YAY me! This is my first and I can't wait any longer!

  42. QUESTION:
    I am 23 weeks pregnant, not finding out gender. Did anyone predict gender by how they were carrying. I am?

    By true love I mean real, romantic love that just happens.
    I mean we label ourselves straight/gay/bi based on sexual preference.. but can we predict who [which gender/race/etc] we will fall for?
    Can we predict it to the point that we should label ourselves and put restrictions? Or should we not put restrictions on the unknown? (is it unknown?)
    [[neil]] that answers the first part :)

    • ANSWER:
      No.

      Also since I assume this is the underlying question, I don't think you can choose who you love.

  44. QUESTION:
    Did the needle trick predict the gender of your Baby?
    Did it work for you? It has so far for me. Mine says B-B-B-G-B-B. I have two boys and am pregnant with a boy according to the ultrasound. Needle says the same thing on my husbands wrist. I know it's just for fun, and was wondering if it worked for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Yeah it worked for me. There is also one that I was told about where it predicts all the living children that you will have (meaning it doesn't coun't miscarriages). You thread a string through the eye of a needle and then stick it straight through the top of the middle of the eraser on the end of a nice sharp pencil and then hold it up over the palm of your hand as steady as you can. If it goes around in a circle then it is a girl and if it goes back and forth it means boy. It will stop swinging, pause a bit and start up again for the next child. It is all fun and games but it is cool none the less because I did it while I was pregnant with my second child and I tried it again last week..... it goes, B - B - G - B - G - G..... 6 children which is awesome and it was at least correct with the first 2 that I've had... I hope it is right about the next one becase I'm dying to have a girl. Also if you stop and do it over again it will start from the beginning.

  45. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used Ancient Chinese Birth Gender Chart to predict the sex of their baby?
    Here is a link to the one I have found http://mypage.direct.ca/j/jfeng/gender.htm

    Has anyone had an accurate result?

    Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      I used this was both of my children and coincidentally it was correct, both times. I also did this for 6 other people where only 1 of 6 was incorrect. It's a 50/50 chance, I'm not sure if it IS real.

Gender Prediction Calendar

When To Get Pregnant With A Girl Baby
I'm often asked to help a moms-to-be to pinpoint the optimal time in their fertility cycle to conceive a girl baby. Many assume that I'm going to give them a day in the month based on when their menstrual cycle started or ended. Some actually ask for the optimal time during the day (an actual time like 9:00 am or 11:00 pm.) And some think that I'll give them a day based on astrology, gender prediction calendars, or phases of the moon or the seasons. Although all of these things can be fun, they aren't based on science and they aren't what I use to gauge when is the best time for a woman to conceive a girl. I'll explain this more in the following article.

If You Want A Girl, The Timing Is Actually Based On How To Get The Y (Boy) Sperm Out Of The Running: People often assume that the timing needed to get a girl baby is based on the characteristics of the X (girl producing) sperm. This is sort of true, but what matters most is undermining the characteristics of the Y (boy producing) sperm. Specifically, their weakness comes into play. The Y sperm is technically weaker, more vulnerable, and quicker to die off. This is an advantage that you can't afford to ignore.

Luckily, the X (girl) sperm don't have these problems. They are slower, but in terms of life span, they are the big winner. So, conceiving earlier in the fertility cycle works out well for them because they aren't compromised by hanging out until the egg is ready. Boy sperm on the other hand have a very short time frame to work with. So, you can easily conceive 3 4 days before ovulation and be reasonably confident that a good deal of the Y sperm will have died off before the sperm fertilizes the egg, increasing your chances that it will be an X (girl) that ultimately completes the assignment.

The Importance Of Absolute Accuracy: Obviously, even being a day off can be a factor here. So, you have to know for sure when you are going to ovulate. And, this can be tricky when producing girl babies. If you are going for a boy, you really only need to know when you've ovulated after the fact. This is easier to gage. But, in this scenario, in a sense, you need to be able to see into the future for complete success.

And, that's why I don't advocate the guessing games that we sometimes play with our ovulation. Just counting forward two weeks from your last period just often isn't good enough. Nor is taking your temperature or trying to "read" your cervical mucus. For women trying to conceive a girl, I really like the saliva ovulation predictors because the slide and instructions will teach how to tell that ovulation is approaching. In fact, most will show you examples beginning seven days out. And, you can test often during the day (not just in the morning) to check on any changes.

Speaking of the morning (or the night,) I believe that the time of day doesn't really matter. You're really only worried about figuring out when that 3-4 day prior window is. It doesn't really matter when this occurs. But, when it does, you just act as quickly as you can.

Additional Tips For Getting A Girl Baby: Timing is probably the most important factor, but there are others. You'll also want to become as acidic as you can with the highest PH that you can manage before you hit your window. So, depending on when you had your last period, you'll hopefully have one cycle to achieve this. The reason for this is that a high PH is another factor that gets rid of Y sperm. You can also try for shallow penetration when you have intercourse because this too makes it harder on the Y's.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Which is the best Gender Prediction Calendar out there?
    Does it really work out ? Is it accurate in gender prediction? Please let me know your respond if you have tried these gender prediction calendars?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly... None of them work, Ive had so many people tell me "oh ya this one is awesome!" only to have my next friend say "well that thing didn't work for me..."

      The best way to know is just to wait for at least the 16 week (I know its terrible not to know) sometimes at 16 weeks they can tell you (his/hers stuff begins to grow at about week 10 but isn't visible)

      Most doctors will have you wait till 18-22 weeks though (this gives you a better chance of seeing for sure)

      And keep in mind that even Ultrasounds don't work all the time, if the baby doesn't cooperate than sometiems you cant see at all, and sometimes they are wrong (my mom thought I was a boy till the 2nd ultrasound because the first ultrasound tech said I was a boy)

      There are wives tales "if you want sweet things its a girl, sour and salt means its a boy" or " if your holding your baby low in your body its a boy, higher up its a girl"....

      In all honesty there is no way to be 100% sure unless you get a level 2 Ultrasound at about week 24 or on...

      Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

  2. QUESTION:
    Is this gender prediction calendar correct?
    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    That is a link to the Gender Prediction Calendar.

    Would you take a look and it and tell me if it
    correctly predicts the gender of the baby, if
    you are a mom?

    For example, if you have a kid, check to see
    if the calendar is right.

    I want to know how accurate it is.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how you look at it . . . it predicts a boy for me . . . and I did have a boy AND A GIRL! Doesn't take into account multiple births.

      It is just for fun and with no real accuracy. It would be just as accurate to put 25 pink papers and 25 blue papers into a hat and pull them out one at a time.

  3. QUESTION:

    If so, did you find that the prediction was accurate? Just curious : )

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me and co worker... WE are due like a week apart! I'm having a boy and shes having a girl!

  11. QUESTION:
    Many people here said the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar was not accurate for them…?
    On the other hand, Chinese people claim that it's 99% accurate.
    It just came up to me that maybe those who said it was wrong for them were calculating their age using the Georgian Calendar rather than the Chinese Calendar.

    Use this link: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html

    Is it still not accurate for you / for the people you know?

    Note: I'm not trying to prove the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar right or wrong, but the thought of the Georgian age versus the Chinese age just occurred to me.
    It would be fun if you try the link I have provided and get back to me on what you have found. Enjoy it.
    I asked this question in the morning and got some really good answers. I'd love to read more, however. This is why I have posted it again.

    Is the Chinese Calendar Gender Prediction Accurate?
    What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't put much stock in those calendars but I do believe in the level of acid can help determine the sex. They say girls can with stand more acid verus boy sperm that can not.

  13. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Lunar Calendar gender prediction, really???
    Like the one found at http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm? I tried it, and it says I'm having a girl this time (still have several months to wait before an ultrasound will hopefully be able to tell). I checked it with my previous 5 pregnancies, and it was 100% accurate for them. What are the chances that it will be as accurate this time around? Anyone else had such good results?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think it's really accurate because I went to 7 different websites trying the gender prediction test and 4 of the websites said that I was having a girl and 3 said that I was having a boy.

  14. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar and if ever, did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It is not really something that you can go by. That's kind of like if you eat certain things you will have a girl. I don't believe in it. I think it is just coincidence. I just recently looked back at it, and going by my age and all when I got pregnant I should have a boy and that is what I had. But like I said, it's just coincidence. Good luck though.

  15. QUESTION:
    From your experience, how accurate is the Chinese Calendar Gender prediction (of baby)?
    And how do i get my chinese age? or is my american age okey?

  16. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction calendar ... Just curious!?
    I'm newly pregnant with baby number three. I have two boys. Just for fun, I went to a web site with the Chinese calendar that predicts your baby's gender. I put in the required info and it came up saying my baby should be a girl. Just to "test" its accuracy, I put in the info to check what it said for my other two. It said both of them should have been girls, too. Hmm... I wonder if that means this one will be a boy as well!

    Anyone else have a similar situation? Have you gotten any correct responses using those calendars?

    I know the best way to find out the baby's gender is by ultrasound, but I'm not going to be due for one of those for a while! Can't wait!
    Wait. I just used a different web site and it got my first two right (both boys) and it says for this one that it's a girl... Week 20 can't get here fast enough!!

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me 3 times....

      1st- 18 when conceived in may = boy
      2nd- 20 when conceived in july = boy
      3rd- 22 when conceived in october = girl

  21. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar? Has it came out true to you?
    Ever since I found out about my pregnancy I am so curious to what my baby is. I think about it everyday. I have done some research to see if I can find out before that 20 weeks ultra sound what i'm having (i'm just 10 weeks). I looked into the old wives tales, and looked at a dozen Chinese Calendars, but i'm still not convinced. If you know about this, what are the symptoms of having a boy and what are symptoms for girls?
    How do you really read the Chinese Calendar? Some say currant age and month when baby was conceived,

    and some age when the baby is born, and conception. So it confuses me.

    • ANSWER:
      the calender was wrong on both of mine but hey you have a 50/50 chance of it being right for you right lol good luck and congrats

    Chinese Gender Prediction Calendars?
    Does anybody know as to why the chinese gender calendars give different genders on different sites? Some will say BOY and some will say GIRL.

  25. QUESTION:
    curious about gender prediction?
    I'm looking at a gender prediction calendar and it has been freaking right for 6 of the 7 babies I've checked the gender of. I'm beginning to think it really works. I need to try some more on it though. Tell me your age you were at conception, the month you conceived in, and the gender of that child. I want a girl and if it's right it's telling me that to conceive this month I'd get another boy.

    • ANSWER:
      Hate to disappoint you but there are two versions online (one chinese calendar is exactly the opposite of the other)....who knows which is the right/accurate one.

  26. QUESTION:
    chinese gender prediction calendars...?
    have any of you used a chinese gender prediction calendar before you found out the sex of your baby? i have looked at a few and they all say that if i conceived this month, i will have a boy, and if i didn't, and i conceive in the next 3 months, it will be a girl.

    just wandering how accurate you think these things are, i don't mind what gender baby i have as long as it's a healthy baby, but i was just curious to see if they all said the same.
    i had a look at the webwomb.com calendar and it said the same as the others i looked at. if i conceived this month, i would have a boy, and the next 3 months, i would have a girl :)

    • ANSWER:
      I have been looking at this also. It is right for my son. I am pregnant now, 4 weeks and 3 days. It says this one will be a girl. We will have to wait till my 20 week scan to find out. I know people who it works for and who it doesn't. Its just a myth. Its not to be taken seriously.

      Just went onto webwomb.com and it says a boy. So one says a girl and one says a girl lol.

  27. QUESTION:
    Does anyone believe in that chinese calendar gender predictions?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, for both my pregnancies it said boy and both are girls. For my sister it said girl and she had a boy. So I don't think it's accurate, but some people swear by it.

  30. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction?
    Go to this site see if it works. Don't try with the othersites since they don't explain that you have to add 9 months to your age at conception. Please tell me your results was it accurate. It was with my last two but we aren't finding out the sex on this one and i'm curious how accurate it is.

    http://www.parentingweekly.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm
    Love my angel: I'm not a moron i can read that... Don't worry i'm not going out and buying boy stuff just cause it says i'm having a boy.
    We (by we i mean my husband) decided that we aren't going to find out and it's killing me i'm 30 weeks and want to know so bad. I can't convince him to find out.

      it was right!! i tried this before but didnt add the 9 months and it was wrong.

  32. QUESTION:
    chinese calendar and gender predicition?
    Has anyone tried the chinese calendar method or any other method for gender prediction?? and has it worked with you..??

    • ANSWER:
      Worked in 3 of my 4 pregnancies... but then again, with a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong, I can't say I recommend relying on it!

      We did not find out the sex of our babies, except for the last (our 3rd boy in a row!). I think it's fun to be surprised at the end... but with so much technology and grandmas drooling over which baby clothes to buy, I can see why not many people go this route. Nonetheless, it is still fun!

    For those of you who already know what you are having, was the prediction on the chinese calendar correct? Not the calculator but the calendar.

  35. QUESTION:
    Does anybody believe in gender prediction?
    My Mom swears by the Farmer's Almanac's ability to predict what sex my baby will be. There is also the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Anybody else believe in these?

    • ANSWER:
      I do. For my first pregnancy, the Chinese Lunar calendar said that i will be having a girl, and i did. We planned the second one, a boy is what we had in mind, and we did. My second is a boy. But also, there are different calendars out there. I went by the one on BabyZone.com

    At home gender prediction test....?
    Has anybody taken one of those at home gender prediction tests? When were you able to take it and was it right? Why did you decide to take it?

    I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I kinda want to take one for fun but was wondering how accurate they really are. Everyone says I'm going to have a boy and that would be great but I was just curious. Also the Chinese Lunar Calendar says it'll be a boy too. In some ways I want a girl and in some ways I want a boy. So I'd be happy either way... I was just curious if I could even take the result as a hint or not. :)

    • ANSWER:
      The at home gender test you can take at any point past 10 weeks. the genitals dont need to be formed, as the test is done by hormones not by seeing if the baby has this or that down there.
      the chinese test is pretty awesome. most people i know, it was right for :-)
      good luck.

  38. QUESTION:
    gender prediction just to play a little bit?
    I been looking around the chinese calendar because my husband and me are thinking of having a baby next year, but i been looking and the thing that my age right now is 24 and it says that to conceived at age 25 in october to have a boy but my birhtday is on October 31 does anyone know how to get the results if my birthday is in the same month as what my age is asking in the calendar

    • ANSWER:
      According to the chinese gender predictor, to conceive a boy at age 25, you need to conceive in the months of Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., or Dec. that you are 25.

      So, the way I understand it is if you turn 25 on Oct 31, 2010 and want a boy, you would need to ttc in the months of Nov., Dec, 2010 and Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., and Oct. of 2011 (those are the months you would be 25).

      The chinese gender predictor was right for our first girl, but wrong for our second, so good luck with that! It has a 50% chance of being right!

    How many of you used the fabled Chinese Lunar Calender to predict your child's gender and it was CORRECT??? Above is a link to the site if you haven't done it yet BUT ALREADY know the sex of your baby. I want to see just how right it is.

    P.S. You can always look up your dates for a baby that's already here, say your firstborn or something just to see.

    My 20-week ultrasound is Tuesday anyway, but i'm just so curious. The anticipation is killing me! tee hee ;o) My firstborn is a bouncing baby boy. He's 18 months already! Time flies. He will be 23 months when the baby is born.

    Thanks for your input ladies!

  45. QUESTION:
    I finally had my baby!?
    Hi to my contacts and anyone else in preg & parenting section. My baby finally arrived, 11 days overdue, and I went into labour spontaneously the day before I was booked for induction.

    Anyway... I had a little boy (the Chinese gender prediction calendar was wrong!) weighing 7lbs 9ozs. We've named him Daniel.

    I've now experienced both a natural labour and an induced labour and I can definitely say that neither one was more or less painful than the other.

    Just to make this a question so it doesn't get deleted... Has anyone else had their baby very recently, or due in the next few days?
    Yes, Dan for short! Not so keen on Danny but I guess he'll decide for himself when he's old enough. x

    • ANSWER:
      *****~CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS~*****

      I'm so pleased for you i cant wait to hold my little one but still ages away from being able to do so :(

      im wishing you all well and hope you enjoy him as they grow so fast, blink and you'll miss it :)

Gender Prediction Calculator

Pregnancy Due Date Calculator Is A Very Practical Tool
There are a lot of important dates during the lead up to pregnancy as well as through the pregnancy term itself. A number of different charts and systems can be used to monitor the key dates during pregnancy, including online forms and charts which can be printed as a permanent record.

A popular and practical tool for monitoring key dates is a Pregnancy Due Date Calculator, often called simply a Pregnancy Wheel. The Pregnancy Wheel is made up of two circular plastic discs, which measure 114mm in diameter, or just over 4. One disc has the months of the year printed around the perimeter and the other disc is divided into the 42 week cycle with notations for the key dates during pregnancy.

The first key date shown on the Pregnancy Wheel is the first day of the last period, this represents the start of the first week of the 42 week cycle. The next date shown is the date of conception followed by the date of the first missed period. The GP will use these dates to determine the anticipated date of birth.

The Pregnancy Due Date Wheel also notates the first sixteen weeks following conception as the most likely term that a miscarriage could take place, also highlighting the key dates in each of the four week cycles. This takes the pregnancy through to the earliest possible quickening, the stage when fetal movement can be noticed, one of the most exciting stages of pregnancy when a new life can be felt.

Dates can be read off the Pregnancy Date Wheel right up to the forecast date of birth, which is usual between 36 and 40 weeks after the date of conception. This handy and compact tool is easy to use and can often be found at pharmacies and medical facilities. The Pregnancy Wheels are also used as promotional gifts by large companies who supply the health industry, the wheels are printed with their logo and information on their brands. Paper and card versions can often be found online and at pharmacy stores.

The comments and dates on Pregnancy Due Date Wheels, and in this article, should be used as a guide only, they refer to the Pregnancy Date product and are in no way intended to be used as advise. It is important to consult a GP or other health professionals for the important advice and care needed during pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Hi. How to calculate age for chinese gender prediction calculator?
    Hi, my wife born in 03.april 1991 , so what is her age in feb 2012 for chinese gender prediction calculator. when for jan 2012 it shows 21 and after feb 2012 it shows 22 . how ?. so please suggest me .

    • ANSWER:
      Don't bother. I predict you're having a girl.

      My guess is just as good as theirs - i.e. it's right 50% of the time.

  2. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese gender prediction calculator?
    I just discovered the chinese gender prediction calender online, it says it's over 90% accurate, and now I am worried because it says i'm having a girl. This is my first child and I wanted it to be a boy, badly. Please tell me that this (over 90% accurate) thing is bull.

    • ANSWER:
      It's 50%. It's basically a guessing game. There are only two choices, so that gives it a 50/50 chance of being right.

  3. QUESTION:
    Is there a Chinese gender prediction calculator for mothers that are 17?
    For the Chinese gender predictor calculator it only goes from 18 to like 45. I'm 17! and the month of conception is march...

    • ANSWER:
      You have the same dates as me. I am 17 and conceived in March. I turn 18 on June 20th. I wish there was one for moms to be who are 17 but unfortunately there isn't. Congrats on the baby.

  4. QUESTION:
    does the chinese gender prediction calculator work?
    i have a boy and i want another boy,i have conceived but the calender says its a girl,now i am a bit worried,which calculator is the best?

    • ANSWER:
      It was right with my first son..But this baby it said girl and its a boy. So its just 50/50

  5. QUESTION:
    Hi. I am 24 weeks pregnant. I was trying this Chinese gender prediction calculator.?
    My DOB is 10th of April 1985. I conceived in Feb 2009. At that time I was 23 years, but became 24 years in April. When I enter my age in the Chinese calculator, should I enter 23 years or 24 years? I am confused!!

    • ANSWER:
      I think if your birthday is between Jan and Feb you should use your real age but if its after Feb then you should add one year to your age..so I think you should put 24 years. I found a calculator that told me this info and mine came out correct..I tried 3 others and they said the same thing..I found this on baby2see.com:

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  6. QUESTION:
    is china calculator orchart is true for gender prediction?if yes how the chines age calculate with indian age?

    • ANSWER:
      is china calculator orchart is true for gender prediction?
      I don't know.

      how the chines age calculate with Indian age?
      I don't know about indian age.that you have to ask someone else. as for the Chinese age, we count from the day the fetus was formed in mother's womb. so when the baby was born, that baby was considered one year old even though it is just 9 months pregnancy.

  7. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Prediction test, need help?
    Okay, so you trolls and people who don't believe I can handle being at parent or think I am stupid..
    I'm sixteen and pregnant.
    I'm not going to explain my whole story to you, but I was on the pill and there were condoms involved so this was just a random event of fate. I'm still in school, grade A student, and I plan on going to college, my family is also well financed, so hush.

    But anyways, I wanted to use the Chinese lunar calender test:(http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm)

    but I'm younger than the age on there. The age starts at 18, so how do I use it since I'm sixteen?

    thanks for anyone that helps!
    obviously it will be a boy or a girl, no need to be an asshole about it.

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations! and if you're ready then more power to you. I wouldn't have been ready at that age, but then again, i'm 22 and I hardly feel ready now (due August 1st!)

      I found a couple that say they work for your age, but they don't show the actual chart. That's really all I could find, but they all use the Lunar calendar. If you google search for Chinese Gender Predictor Age 16 quite a few things pop up.
      Good luck and let us know what it says! :)

It was correct for my pregnancy, but it was a 50/50 shot. Wanting to get prego again and just wandering about its accuracy.

    • ANSWER:
      No it was not... It predicted a girl for me and I'm having a boy =) It is really a fun thing which has only 50/50 shot.....

  17. QUESTION:
    how tall do you think i'll be?
    k, so, since i was 13, i've been super insecure about my height.
    i've always been taller than everyone else in my class.
    i've taken online height prediction quizzes, they all say i'll be 5'11-6'.
    so here's some things you might need to know about me.

    age: 15.
    gender: female.
    current height: 5'11.
    i'm not sure how much i weigh.
    i just turned 15 a couple weeks ago. i measure myself everyday, it's an OCD thing.
    i just measured myself again, and it says i'm 5'11 now. two weeks ago, i was 5'10.
    i know i should learn to just deal with being tall, since i clearly can't do anything to change it. but it's easier said than done.
    my mom is 5'10, and my dad is 6'3.
    I know that those online height calculators aren't always accurate. So, tell me your thoughts, & how tall you think i'll be? I can only hope i'm done growing.
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      It really matters with the way you are. How often do you grow, if you remember. I know I grow about an inch every year. I'd have to say maybe 6'-6'1 at the most. Don't drink milk lol

Gender Prediction Calendars

When Can I Conceive A Girl Baby?
I often write about and have a few blogsoutlining naturally becoming pregnant with a baby girl or daughter. One of the most common questions that I'm asked is "when is the best time to conceive a girl?" or "when can I become pregnant with a girl baby?" I'll answer these questions in this article as well as outline some other considerations you should address if you are trying to conceive a baby and you want it to be female.

Your Fertility Window For A Girl Baby: Most people understand that there is about a five day period when you are most likely to become pregnant. You may already know this, but I'll briefly go over the timing of conception. Your egg is released (ovulation) during one day during your menstrual cycle. When your partner's sperm chromosomes successfully fertilize this egg, you become pregnant. But, which chromosome (X or Y) ends up doing the job will determine which gender you conceive. And, these sperm cancan live in your vaginal tract for various lengths of time. (Girl (or X chromosome sperm) can live for much longer than the Y (or boy) chromosome sperm.)

This is why timing your conception is so important. If you are a little bit late, or a little bit early, then the sperm will have died off by the time the egg is ready to be fertilized.

Why Knowing When You Ovulate Is Vital For Conceiving A Girl (And How ToBest Accomplish This:) Since timing is soimportant for pregnancy, it's vital that you know exactly when your egg is ready to be fertilized. There are many ways toaccomplish this, but, in my opinion, some ways are far superior to others. I never had any luck with the basal temperate or cervical mucus monitoring. These things leave too much room forincorrect interpretation. I believe ovulation predictor kits are much better and I prefer saliva over urine. I believe that the saliva kits are second to none for accuracyand you can reuse them over and over which makes them much more cost effective and convenient because you never have toworry about running out of the stickstheway thatyou do with the urine variety.

So, What Are The Very Best Days To Get Pregnant With Or Conceive A Girl Baby?: Well, the girl sperm are very hardy, but the boy sperm are not. And, your best case scenario is to make sure that all of the boy sperm are out of your vaginal tract when your egg can be fertilized. The best way to accomplish this is to conceive three days before you actually ovulate. This is enough time for most boy sperm to make their grand exit. However, precise timing is vital here. Being even a little bit late here can throw this whole thing off. So, as I said above, make sure you have a very reliable way to know when ovulation is coming and plan to conceive before this.

Other Considerations: Timing your conception correctly is important when you are trying to conceive a girl, but there are other things you can do to raise your chances even higher. You'll also need to raise your vaginal PH and acidity because doing so creates a hostile environment for boy sperm. Using shallow penetration sexual positions can also give the boy sperm a longer, more difficult trip. It's important to address all of these things because doing so will give you pretty good odds (said to be over 90%) for being successful.

Conceive A Girl is a website I put together to offer step by step instructions, hints, tips, and resources for couples wishing to conceive a baby girl. You'll find resources for changing your PH, predicting your ovulation, and using the correct intercourse positions. Take a look if you like at http://conceive-a-girl-baby.com/

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Which is the best Gender Prediction Calendar out there?
    Does it really work out ? Is it accurate in gender prediction? Please let me know your respond if you have tried these gender prediction calendars?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly... None of them work, Ive had so many people tell me "oh ya this one is awesome!" only to have my next friend say "well that thing didn't work for me..."

      The best way to know is just to wait for at least the 16 week (I know its terrible not to know) sometimes at 16 weeks they can tell you (his/hers stuff begins to grow at about week 10 but isn't visible)

      Most doctors will have you wait till 18-22 weeks though (this gives you a better chance of seeing for sure)

      And keep in mind that even Ultrasounds don't work all the time, if the baby doesn't cooperate than sometiems you cant see at all, and sometimes they are wrong (my mom thought I was a boy till the 2nd ultrasound because the first ultrasound tech said I was a boy)

      There are wives tales "if you want sweet things its a girl, sour and salt means its a boy" or " if your holding your baby low in your body its a boy, higher up its a girl"....

      In all honesty there is no way to be 100% sure unless you get a level 2 Ultrasound at about week 24 or on...

      Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

  2. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Prediction Calendars?
    Does anybody know as to why the chinese gender calendars give different genders on different sites? Some will say BOY and some will say GIRL. If its the same calendar that they use that was burried over 700 years ago in the tomb then surely they should all come out with ONE SAME GENDER! what do u think??

    • ANSWER:

  3. QUESTION:
    chinese gender prediction calendars...?
    have any of you used a chinese gender prediction calendar before you found out the sex of your baby? i have looked at a few and they all say that if i conceived this month, i will have a boy, and if i didn't, and i conceive in the next 3 months, it will be a girl.

    just wandering how accurate you think these things are, i don't mind what gender baby i have as long as it's a healthy baby, but i was just curious to see if they all said the same.
    i had a look at the webwomb.com calendar and it said the same as the others i looked at. if i conceived this month, i would have a boy, and the next 3 months, i would have a girl :)

    • ANSWER:
      I have been looking at this also. It is right for my son. I am pregnant now, 4 weeks and 3 days. It says this one will be a girl. We will have to wait till my 20 week scan to find out. I know people who it works for and who it doesn't. Its just a myth. Its not to be taken seriously.

      Just went onto webwomb.com and it says a boy. So one says a girl and one says a girl lol.

  4. QUESTION:
    Is this gender prediction calendar correct?
    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    That is a link to the Gender Prediction Calendar.

    Would you take a look and it and tell me if it
    correctly predicts the gender of the baby, if
    you are a mom?

    For example, if you have a kid, check to see
    if the calendar is right.

    I want to know how accurate it is.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how you look at it . . . it predicts a boy for me . . . and I did have a boy AND A GIRL! Doesn't take into account multiple births.

      It is just for fun and with no real accuracy. It would be just as accurate to put 25 pink papers and 25 blue papers into a hat and pull them out one at a time.

  5. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the chinese gender prediction calendar?
    I know it is just for fun, but I was wondering if you have ever done it for your pregnancies and it ended up being right???

  6. QUESTION:
    Do you think the chinese baby gender prediction calendar is accurate?

  7. QUESTION:
    Does anyone else believe in the Ancient Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar?

I want a girl and if it's right it's telling me that to conceive this month I'd get another boy.

    I'm newly pregnant with baby number three. I have two boys. Just for fun, I went to a web site with the Chinese calendar that predicts your baby's gender. I put in the required info and it came up saying my baby should be a girl. Just to "test" its accuracy, I put in the info to check what it said for my other two. It said both of them should have been girls, too. Hmm... I wonder if that means this one will be a boy as well!

    Anyone else have a similar situation? Have you gotten any correct responses using those calendars?

    I know the best way to find out the baby's gender is by ultrasound, but I'm not going to be due for one of those for a while! Can't wait!
    Wait. I just used a different web site and it got my first two right (both boys) and it says for this one that it's a girl... Week 20 can't get here fast enough!!

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me 3 times....

      1st- 18 when conceived in may = boy
      2nd- 20 when conceived in july = boy
      3rd- 22 when conceived in october = girl

  17. QUESTION:
    Many people here said the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar was not accurate for them…?
    On the other hand, Chinese people claim that it's 99% accurate.
    It just came up to me that maybe those who said it was wrong for them were calculating their age using the Georgian Calendar rather than the Chinese Calendar.

    Use this link: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html

    Is it still not accurate for you / for the people you know?

    Note: I'm not trying to prove the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar right or wrong, but the thought of the Georgian age versus the Chinese age just occurred to me.
    It would be fun if you try the link I have provided and get back to me on what you have found. Enjoy it.
    I asked this question in the morning and got some really good answers. I'd love to read more, however. This is why I have posted it again.

    • ANSWER:
      It's right for me. She was a girl!

  18. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar and if ever, did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It is not really something that you can go by. That's kind of like if you eat certain things you will have a girl. I don't believe in it. I think it is just coincidence. I just recently looked back at it, and going by my age and all when I got pregnant I should have a boy and that is what I had. But like I said, it's just coincidence. Good luck though.

  19. QUESTION:
    From your experience, how accurate is the Chinese Calendar Gender prediction (of baby)?
    And how do i get my chinese age? or is my american age okey?

    • ANSWER:
      so far it has been right for all 4 of my pregnancies: boy, girl, boy, boy

  20. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Lunar Calendar gender prediction, really???
    Like the one found at http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm? I tried it, and it says I'm having a girl this time (still have several months to wait before an ultrasound will hopefully be able to tell). I checked it with my previous 5 pregnancies, and it was 100% accurate for them. What are the chances that it will be as accurate this time around? Anyone else had such good results?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think it's really accurate because I went to 7 different websites trying the gender prediction test and 4 of the websites said that I was having a girl and 3 said that I was having a boy.

  21. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar? Has it came out true to you?
    Ever since I found out about my pregnancy I am so curious to what my baby is. I think about it everyday. I have done some research to see if I can find out before that 20 weeks ultra sound what i'm having (i'm just 10 weeks). I looked into the old wives tales, and looked at a dozen Chinese Calendars, but i'm still not convinced. If you know about this, what are the symptoms of having a boy and what are symptoms for girls?
    How do you really read the Chinese Calendar? Some say currant age and month when baby was conceived,

    and some age when the baby is born, and conception. So it confuses me.

    • ANSWER:
      the calender was wrong on both of mine but hey you have a 50/50 chance of it being right for you right lol good luck and congrats

  22. QUESTION:

    My Mom swears by the Farmer's Almanac's ability to predict what sex my baby will be. There is also the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Anybody else believe in these?

    • ANSWER:
      I do. For my first pregnancy, the Chinese Lunar calendar said that i will be having a girl, and i did. We planned the second one, a boy is what we had in mind, and we did. My second is a boy. But also, there are different calendars out there. I went by the one on BabyZone.com

  34. QUESTION:
    At home gender prediction test....?
    Has anybody taken one of those at home gender prediction tests? When were you able to take it and was it right? Why did you decide to take it?

    I'm 12 weeks pregnant and I kinda want to take one for fun but was wondering how accurate they really are. Everyone says I'm going to have a boy and that would be great but I was just curious. Also the Chinese Lunar Calendar says it'll be a boy too. In some ways I want a girl and in some ways I want a boy. So I'd be happy either way... I was just curious if I could even take the result as a hint or not. :)

    • ANSWER:
      The at home gender test you can take at any point past 10 weeks. the genitals dont need to be formed, as the test is done by hormones not by seeing if the baby has this or that down there.
      the chinese test is pretty awesome. most people i know, it was right for :-)
      good luck.

  35. QUESTION:
    gender prediction just to play a little bit?
    I been looking around the chinese calendar because my husband and me are thinking of having a baby next year, but i been looking and the thing that my age right now is 24 and it says that to conceived at age 25 in october to have a boy but my birhtday is on October 31 does anyone know how to get the results if my birthday is in the same month as what my age is asking in the calendar

    • ANSWER:
      According to the chinese gender predictor, to conceive a boy at age 25, you need to conceive in the months of Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., or Dec. that you are 25.

      So, the way I understand it is if you turn 25 on Oct 31, 2010 and want a boy, you would need to ttc in the months of Nov., Dec, 2010 and Feb., Mar., June, Aug., Sept., and Oct. of 2011 (those are the months you would be 25).

      The chinese gender predictor was right for our first girl, but wrong for our second, so good luck with that! It has a 50% chance of being right!

    chinese calendar and gender predicition?
    Has anyone tried the chinese calendar method or any other method for gender prediction?? and has it worked with you..??

    • ANSWER:
      Worked in 3 of my 4 pregnancies... but then again, with a 50/50 chance of being right or wrong, I can't say I recommend relying on it!

      We did not find out the sex of our babies, except for the last (our 3rd boy in a row!). I think it's fun to be surprised at the end... but with so much technology and grandmas drooling over which baby clothes to buy, I can see why not many people go this route. Nonetheless, it is still fun!

  42. QUESTION:
    chinese lunar calender/gender prediction?
    http://www.parentingweekly.com/pregnancy/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm

    How many of you used the fabled Chinese Lunar Calender to predict your child's gender and it was CORRECT??? Above is a link to the site if you haven't done it yet BUT ALREADY know the sex of your baby. I want to see just how right it is.

    P.S. You can always look up your dates for a baby that's already here, say your firstborn or something just to see.

    My 20-week ultrasound is Tuesday anyway, but i'm just so curious. The anticipation is killing me! tee hee ;o) My firstborn is a bouncing baby boy. He's 18 months already! Time flies. He will be 23 months when the baby is born.

    Thanks for your input ladies!

    • ANSWER:
      From vast experience, and many scientific studies, it's a fact that the Chinese Lunar Calendar is mostly 50% accurate.

      But, so is flipping a coin.
      Congrats on being a mother.
      Did you know that 1/2 of all parents are women?

  43. QUESTION:
    do gender predictions worked in your pregnancy?
    im 18 weeks pregnant and im so anxious to know what im having!! all online predictions tell me im having a girl, like the chinesse calendar, some quiz about my pregnancy like how i carry my belly, my cravings etc i want to know if this old wives tales worked for you! i so want a girl!! so ill be so happy if theyre right for me, i have a 3 year old son already so we would love to have the lil princess!

    • ANSWER:
      Get an ultrasound. That will be 100% effective at predicting gender.

  44. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese calendar correct for you?
    For those of you who already know what you are having, was the prediction on the chinese calendar correct? Not the calculator but the calendar. For those who haven't used one or seen one, it is a gender prediction chart, you go by your age at conception and the month of conception, please check it out and let me know if it was correct for the gender of your baby. chinesebirthcalendar.org. It was correct for my pregnancy, but it was a 50/50 shot. Wanting to get prego again and just wandering about its accuracy.

    • ANSWER:
      No it was not... It predicted a girl for me and I'm having a boy =) It is really a fun thing which has only 50/50 shot.....

  45. QUESTION:
    I finally had my baby!?
    Hi to my contacts and anyone else in preg & parenting section. My baby finally arrived, 11 days overdue, and I went into labour spontaneously the day before I was booked for induction.

    Anyway... I had a little boy (the Chinese gender prediction calendar was wrong!) weighing 7lbs 9ozs. We've named him Daniel.

    I've now experienced both a natural labour and an induced labour and I can definitely say that neither one was more or less painful than the other.

    Just to make this a question so it doesn't get deleted... Has anyone else had their baby very recently, or due in the next few days?
    Yes, Dan for short! Not so keen on Danny but I guess he'll decide for himself when he's old enough. x

Gender Of The Baby

Choosing the gender of the baby before birth
Determining the gender of the unborn has since always kept the soon-to-be parents curious throughout the gestation period. Right from the witch doctors and occult gurus of medieval and ancient times to the modern day infertility doctors, influencing the gender of the baby remained a challenge of late. But, still the vagaries remain intact and baby gender selection remains dicey. However, the good news is that with advancement in medical science and technology it is actually possible to decide and determine the gender of your unborn child with increasing accuracy.

Why baby gender selection?

There can be multiple reasons for couples resorting to gender selection. It may be because of emotional fulfillment and the idea of having a balanced family or it might be due to certain medical reasons. For instance, there are several chromosomatic mutations that are gender specific and couples may decide to thwart its propagation by avoiding a particular sex. And, then there are cases when couples want to just have a single child. In such cases, it makes sense to allow them to exercise their options and choose the gender of the baby.

There are many old wives' tales and rituals surrounding baby's gender selection. However, these methods are like wild goose chases and their success rates are anybody's guess. A more prudent approach is consulting with infertility doctors who can come up with more scientific and advanced techniques.

A very effective and functional technique is making PGD which is the abbreviated form of Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis.

PGD for baby gender selection

PGD is a very sophisticated technique that is used with IVF. During a regular IVF procedure when the embryo is three days old, some cells are removed or added using a tiny surgical needle. The next step involves evaluating the genetic makeup of the embryos using techniques such as gene amplification and chromosome analysis. Later, the desired embryos are transferred to the uterus of the female for carrying out the regular course of pregnancy. And, the expected parents can look forward to their bundle of joys. Having the power of determining your baby's gender in advance is truly a boon, thanks to the medical advancements.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    probability of having the same gender of baby 3 times in a row?
    I have two little boys and just found out I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby. I've heard that after you've had the same gender twice in a row, your chances for baby #3 being the same gender goes up ... is there any truth to this?? I'm starting to think my husband can only make little boys! haha
    could it be that my husband's sperm contains more male than female?

    • ANSWER:
      False. Genetics tell us that there is the exact same chance of having a boy then having a girl, even if the baby already has 3 brothers. Every time, the chance of the baby being a girl or a boy is exactly the same. Don't get it? Try drawing it out. Draw 1 big square and divide it in to 4 (two boxes ontop, two on the bottom). Inside 2 boxes, write XX, the genotype for a girl. In the other you write XY, the genotype for boys. Use a spinner, or just choose at random what sex the baby is. As you can see, Its kind of a 50/50 chance. If you really want a girl and have overlooked the possibilities/ consequenses, you may want toask yourdoctor about getting the baby's sex changed.

  2. QUESTION:
    What gender baby am I most likely to have?
    Okay my mom had three girls in her previous marriage, the she had me and my little brother when she got with my dad. My dad and his two brothers have only boys. My Girlfriend's mom has two boys and one girl. My girlfriend was from her first marriage, and her two brothers from her second marriage. Can any of this info help determine what the gender of my baby will be?

    • ANSWER:
      The gender is decided by the sex of the sperm that reaches the egg first. I've never heard of men creating more male or female sperm than the other.
      In short, there is absolutely no way to predict it.

  3. QUESTION:
    what are some fun ways to tell husband what gender baby is?
    I was wanting to know if anyone had any fun ideas about telling husband gender of baby. I have to go next Tuesday for my gender only sonogram. And next Sat. I am going on vacation and he wanted me to surprise him there but I have no idea what to do that would be fun. And we are going to the beach if that helps. I have been searching and brainstorming like crazy and nothing pops out at me that I like. What are some of your ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      I would right down on a pice of paper..."Its a Boy!" or "Its a Girl" and then dig that paper into the sand and then make a big heart around were you dug the paper and then call your husband and have him dig for the paper.... Tell him in this heart he will find who his baby is going to be. And it would be interesting I think to see how he would start diging the heart and searching for the peice of paper to find out if its a boy or a girl :) Good luck! ♥Lucky

  4. QUESTION:
    What is the probability of adult male twins having the same gender baby?
    My husband is a fraternal twin. His twin brother just had a baby boy, and I was wondering if my husband has a higher probability of having a boy also.

    • ANSWER:
      Well, the sperm decides the gender of the baby, and they have never done a conclusive study on whether men produce an equal number of male/female producing sperm, or whether they tend to produce more of one or the other, and therefore don't know whether there is actually a 50/50 chance for either sex or not. But, you are asking about fraternal twins, not identical. Fraternal twins are the result of two eggs and two sperm and therefore have no more in common than two brothers born years apart, so, your brother-in-law's child is no indication of the sex of child you will have.

  5. QUESTION:
    How can I determine what gender baby I'm having in the future?
    Well, I'm 14, and I most certainly am not having a baby right now. Lot's of people think that I'll have a boy baby when I grow up. Are there any tricks or whatever that you could do to determine what sex your first child will be?

    • ANSWER:
      My wife gynaecologist told us, during planning of baby time, weeks or months before even having sex, the couple can plan in such a way to push the possibility of having the planned gender well:

      If husband eat more acidic food, like sour food, meat, etc; and the wife more of vegetables (the opposite of husband eat), then more likely the gender of the baby can be male.

      And vice versa. I tried this method, and it worked, I had 4 boys consecutively.

  6. QUESTION:
    Does opposite symptoms in the second/third pregnancies mean opposite gender baby?
    I used to look tired and ugly with my first pregnancy - a boy (used to crave salty food and used to detest non veg) and now in this pregnancy I am looking good with clear and bright skin and i love spicy food and crave loads of meat (especially beef). Does this mean I am going to get the opposite sex? Just curious. what have ur experiances been? My cousin had same symptoms in both pregnancies and got the same sex baby.

    • ANSWER:
      I would have to say no, from experience.
      I have three sons, and now pregnant with a girl, yet my pregnancies have all been different, from my cravings, to the way I carry them, to levels of morning sickness. No two pregnancies will be identical.

  7. QUESTION:
    Did you know what gender baby you were having before the doctor told you?
    I'm wondering because I really think I'm having a boy, but I won't know until the ultrasound of course. Did you know what you were having before the u/s or were you completely wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      I knew what I was having because I had CVS done at 9 weeks. I was a late bloomer Mom and wanted to know my baby was OK. Here's the bummer~~the ULTRASOUND TECH, who told me she'd been doing them for 11 yrs. was WRONG! She told me, "Look! there's the big placenta! The there's the bigger umbilical cord...you're having a GIRRRL!!!! I began to laugh hysterically...because CVS is a genetic test and not wrong...so I asked her if she was really sure or just maybe sure....and she told me, "Nope! It's a girl!" I told her that if it was, I was gonna be rich because I'd had genetic testing that told me I was having a son! All she would say is, "OHHH." My SON was born healthy and happy and that BIG cord...was his large penis...even in utero! HA! HA! HA!
      So do not bank on the ultrasound tech....My girlfriend decorated here nursery PINK for her baby girl and HE was born and they had to change the whole nursery. Just be happy that you are pregnant and hopefully healthy! That baby will love you no matter what....and you will love it back.
      BTW, after waiting 39 yrs for my baby to find out it was a BOY I was devistated....not that I didn't want a boy...I just always thought I'd have a girl first (who knows why). God knows just what you need! Boys love their Moms!!!!! They love their Moms forever!!! I got used to what I'd dress my son in...and the thought of what we'd do together, and it's been the best match up! I got exactly what I needed!
      Good luck to you! Just be happy!

  9. QUESTION:
    Is it ok to call your best friend of the opposite gender baby in 6th grade?

    • ANSWER:
      Eh, in general it's kind of sending mixed messages, it's going into stereotypical relationship petnames. It could backfire if he likes you or if you don't want to send him signals that you like him.

      But it does depend on the friendship. If you guys joke around a lot and you know he won't take it the wrong way then whatever.

  13. QUESTION:
    Do over the counter baby gender test from drug stores really work?
    I want to know the sex of my unborn baby as soon as possible, Ive seen thoes test you can buy at wallgreens that claim they can predict the gender of your expected baby. I want to know if they work so that I dont go months thinking its a boy/girl and the answer is wrong, and I also want to start buying baby clothes.

    • ANSWER:
      No. They say they have a "50%" chance only because you are either going to have a boy or a girl. There is no in between. But it's totally random. Men can take those tests too and get "boy" or "girl"..

    Does craving for sweets means you will be having a baby girl?
    I crave fo chocolates and sweets everyday. I do keep eating fruits, salads & non-veg items also. I am just curious and just for the fun of it want to know does this menas i am going to ahve a baby girl.
    Also how many of you who have guessed that you might have a particular gender baby and turned out right?

    • ANSWER:
      I am a very big believer in that the mother can usually guess what she is having. This does not mean that she can will a baby to be one or the other but deep down they rarely get it wrong. As for all the wives tales? When I was pregnant I got onto a website which had over 100 different wives tales. I completed the 100 questions to be told 93% I was having a girl! And you guessed it I now have a beautiful son. My thoughts were that he was a boy. I find the wives tales and guessing is so much fun and the theories crack me up but the only way to be sure what you are having is to have a look when your baby is born. Scans are very very accurate these days but even they can be wrong. Have a look if you can find the website on the internet it was a good laugh anyway.

    Is the thread and needle test correct for baby gender?
    Has anyone done the thread and needle test, or ring and necklace test, to find out the gender of you baby? It's supposively an old wives tale. Who believes it?

    • ANSWER:
      It was done to me in my first pregnancy, said girl and was correct. Now with baby number 2 it says boy, I had an ultrasound at 17 weeks and was told it was a girl. I still believe the needle tho( that & cause a psychic told me lol here comes the thumbs down), I still think its a boy. I believe it, I did it to my mom, she has 5 kids. And the needle was correct. It said girl, boy, girl, girl, girl and stopped moving. Its always correct when you do it on women who are done having babies.
      Its fun to do!

  19. QUESTION:
    What does sex position have to do with baby gender ?
    First of all my husband and I want a baby boy !! I heard yesterday that the position a couple has sex in when they concieve is a big factor in the baby gender .. Missionary position for a gi and "doggie style" for a boy !! My husband and I did it missionary (yeah I know TMI sorry) so does that mean our chances are higher of having a girl ? Has anyone ever did it missionary and had a boy or "doggie style" and had a girl ?? Please answer :) thanks

    • ANSWER:
      That is a huge MYTH. The position you are in when you have sex will not determine the gender of your baby. The only thing I've ever read that made sense to me about how to get one gender ove another has to do with timing. I don't know for sure if it's true, but supposedly male sperm swim faster than female sperm, but they also die sooner, so to have the best chance of getting pregnant with a boy you need to have sex right on the day you ovulate. If you want a girl you should have sex before you ovulate.

  20. QUESTION:
    Can anyone recommend a good baby gender prediction test for me?
    I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I have too many weeks to go until my ultrasound appointment to find out the sex of my baby. Can anyone recommend a gender predictor test? I have heard a few in passing, but do not know what is best.

    • ANSWER:
      Congrats on your soon to be bundle of joy! If only it was possible to know the sex of your baby right away, and although there are lots of tests that give you answers, they are not 100% accurate. If I had to pick one, the one that comes to mind is GenderMaker. I have heard about it a few times and it has been good things. Just don't rely on those tests too much. They should only be taken for fun.

    Hi,

    I have read on internet about the Shettle's Method of Gender Selection and tried also.
    I am due at 5th October and gender of baby doesn't matter for me, I just want a healthy baby but just for fun I tried.

    Wanted to know, Is there anybody who has also tried this method and selected their's baby's gender successful.

  22. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried a Chinese baby gender calculator?
    My husband and I don't want to officially find out the gender of our baby, but I tried a Chinese baby gender chart on the internet just for fun. It said I was having a boy. Has anyone tried this method of gender calculator and found that it was right?
    Just Google Chinese gender calculator if you want to try it.
    As for the person who just called me ridiculous, I bet you believe in things that some people would think are stupid, so don't judge, I never said I believe it, I'm just curious.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes! I'm expecting a baby boy in November, I conceived in February and I'm 20 so it's correct for me!!!

      Ps. I don't think it's ridiculous either, sometimes if you don't want to know what gender your baby is, but you like the idea of using different methods to guess (just for fun - as you said) then it can make you even more excited about finding out when he or she is born!!!

  23. QUESTION:
    Any recommandation for 3D-4D ultrasound centers in South bay, CA for Baby gender determination?
    I am 14 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy and i want to know the gender of my baby earliest. CAn any one tell me the which are the good/Accurate centers for 3d-4d in south bay CA near Fremont area? I have seen some sites telling after 15 weeks they can tell the gender. Any suggestions for the good centers?

    • ANSWER:
      I called The Ohio State perinatologists just today, because I'm having a level 2 US tomorrow and I was unsure if I should try to find out the baby's gender due to the genital formation.
      She said with a level 2 machine even, 16 weeks is the EARLIEST. These folks know what they are doing, using state of the art equipment. She said any earlier than that is just a guess, 50-50.
      Save your money and wait until your 18 weeks because you may not get an accurate reading.

    Ladies has anyone ever used the IntelliGender baby gender predictor? Was it accurate?
    Can u share personal experiences with me on whether u used a predictor or had a doctor accurately tell u the gender of your baby? How far along were you at time of prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I used this for my second pregnancy, it was a baby shower gift but put it in a cupboard and didn't find it until I was 30+ weeks, by which time I knew already I was having a girl, I did the test anyway for fun, and it did come up girl, how accurate it is I don't know as it has a 50/50 chance of being right. But still was cute although perhaps a bit gimicky.

  25. QUESTION:
    Baby number 3 Gender/sex?
    Okay I'm pregnant with my 3rd. I have a 5 yr old daughter and a 3 year old son. I'm hoping for some guesses on gender of baby number 3.????? I have plenty of details to give in order to help you choose what gender baby might be. So with my Daughter my pregnancy was a breeze no morning sickness at all. She was due 3/18/03 had her on 3/15/03. Alright with my son I had all day nausea and vomiting til 12 weeks. He was due July 4th. 05 Had him July 1st. 05. Seems they both came 3 days early. Now I'm on baby number 3. This time I had more intense all day nausea and vomiting until 14 weeks. I already had names picked out for either gender. Lilly and Zachary. I keep seeing the name I picked out for a girl every where. I mean even street signs and cartoons my daughter watches. I feel deep inside I'm having a boy but I felt that way with my daughter too. My dreams have mostly been about the baby being a girl. I don't crave anything differently than usual except I get a craving for Starbucks cappuccino. I never drink coffee products though. I craved kit kats with Daughter and cherries with Son. I don't care what gender is but my Daughter really really wants a sister now. So it will about a week before I know what baby is. So i'm bored and want to waste time on here asking strangers what they see me having or have any thing in common to relate with me. Take a guess I want to see if I get a popular answer and if it hols true..I wll post what i'm having when I find out so keep in check.
    Okay I should also mention My due date July 5th which is a day after the due date I had with my son. So number 3 might be born on my sons bday. Either way they are most likely going to share birthday parties might be co ed bdays.
    At 17 weeks we have a place called fetalfotos that you can go to and get a ultrasound for gender check for 75 dollars.
    Okay Im back its a boy

    • ANSWER:
      I'm going to say you're having another boy. Just a guess...

  26. QUESTION:
    Trans Gender baby?
    Has anyone heard about the trans gender female to male in the USA that is having a baby. I am not for or against it. I dont think you can judge a family unless you know them. IU was just wondering what others thoughts on this was.

    I Do think that every relationship should have the choice to have a baby no matter what the situation. As long as that baby is made in love and can depend oin the lave and surport of its parents. But then I also think of the problems growing up for the baby. It is all in the news so it will alwasy be rememebrd. She will forever be known as the baby thats dad is its mum. Not sure if that good.

    But if you look at it from the other side, if it was a trans gender male to female and she decided to have a baby and use her sperm, (if she had not had the full opp thaat is.) would people think anything of it.

    Your thoughts would be greatful. But no bitchy comments please.

    • ANSWER:
      I think you've pretty much made all the right points here. As long as it is loved and cared for and doesnt suffer then nobody has the right to complain.

      There is, of course, the moral issue of what will happen when the child grows up but these days a lot more is understood and accepted - and if the parents have any sense they will prepare for this in any way they can by making their child stronger. But then it woun't be seen any different as the childs parent becoming a male after the child was born - because technically (to me anyway) she is still female until she has the complete sex change operation.

      But yes it would be looked at differently if it were a male to female giving sperm, because then they would not be carrying the baby.

      But like I've said, I see this no differently to a normal couple having a baby and perhaps later on the mother decided to have a sex change....people do it all the time after they have had children.

      This is an itneresting question and I'm sure will raise a lot of debate - you dont see a lot of these around in between the 'am i fat/pretty' questions! Well Done!

  27. QUESTION:
    How early can you tell baby gender on ultrasound?
    I am 11 weeks pregnant and last week I went in for a check up at 10 1/2 weeks and they did an ultrasound. She showed me a "white sticky-outy thing" (to quote the ultra sound tech) and said that tends to be a boy. I had no idea that external sex organs could be seen on ultrasound that early in pregnancy. Does anyone know if it's really possible to see the sex of the baby that early?

    • ANSWER:
      I had an ultrasound done at 13 weeks *which i thought was early * and they told me they thought it was a boy as well. I honestly think its too early to tell. I heard that usually they do not even try to see the sex until 16-20 weeks when the prediction is more accurate. I read that they can tell the gender starting at 10 weeks with a 3d ultrasound with 85% accuracy. So how accurate could a regular sonogram be 70%? Ask again in 3 weeks and I have my 20 week ultrasound then. I will tell you if it turned out to be true for me. Best wishes and Congratulations!

  28. QUESTION:
    Decorating Non-Gender Baby Room?
    Ok, here is the story; I am twenty years old and getting married in less than a month. Our family and friends ask us when we will have our first child. Thing is, I really don't want children yet, not till I am at least twenty-four. I tell everyone that we are going to wait to have kids.

    Then they ask another question. When we finally get pregnant, they want to know if we are going to find out the baby’s gender or be surprised at the birth. My first response was 'surprise'.

    This raises another question, not only from them but me as well. I need some help.

    If I am not going to know the baby’s gender how can I decorate their room?

    I live in the backwoods of Louisiana and I am decorating my home in camouflage and bass fishing. So I would not prefer anything like “rubber duckies” or “winnie-the-pooh” for the baby’s room. But any other opinions are welcomed.

    Question again: How can I decorate my ‘non-gender’ baby’s room?

    • ANSWER:
      You can use gender neutral colors to decorate the room with no real theme or characters in it.
      Or just pick a theme with no gender connotation like pond, or jungle, or whatever works for you and that you wouldn't mind having in your home. There are tons of themes like this. Good luck!

  29. QUESTION:
    Gender Surprise Baby Shower?
    I found out I was pregnant in December & it seems everyone wants to know the sex of the baby..but me.! My best friend asked if she could throw a surprise gender baby shower..basically, everyone would know but me and I wouldn't find out until I walked in what the gender of my baby would be.

    Has anyone else had this kind of shower & did it work out?,,My friends aren't the BEST at keeping secrets but I think it's a fun idea, just wondering others experiences if they've done this.
    It wasn't my idea, but its starting to grow on me. Maybe have ONE trusted person know and get a cake made so that not only would I, but everyone else be surprised at the shower when I cut into it.

    • ANSWER:
      well it was the other way around for this baby shower
      my friend and her boyfriend already knew the gender of the baby but everyone else did not
      so they had a party i wouldn't call it a baby shower though just was a bar-b-q but her baby shower was the next week
      they bought a nice cake and if it was a boy or girl the filling inside would be pink or blue
      so both sets of grandparents went on each side and cut the cake it turned out to be a girl
      that party worked out good because after it seemed like everyone went to a babies r us
      BUT the way you want to have it does not make no sense that everyone else is going to know but you i will say if you change your mind have your friend buy a cake and do something like what my friend did and all of you will find out at the same time or if you do not want to know you dont have to
      hope this helped

  30. QUESTION:
    Would you use the The Baby Gender Mentor kit to determine the sex of your baby when you are 5 weeks pregnant?
    The mail-in kit cost and then you pay a lab fee of 0 for the lab to process it within 48 hours. And then you can log in to the website and find out the gender of your baby. It is 99.9% accurate since it determined by your examining your blood.

    You can find out the baby’s gender 5 weeks after you conceived. By doing the test you can find out 3 months earlier than going to the doctor’s for an ultrasound, and ultrasounds are not as accurate as a blood test.

    What do you think? Do you think its worth it? Is it something you would do?

    • ANSWER:
      i looked into it when i was pregnant but i realized that i would rather see my baby so i went and got a 4-D ultrasound it was so amazing and there was no doubt of what i was having with the 4-D because it showed you in
      3-D picture it was awesome i got a CD full of pictures and a tape of the ultrasound so once he gets older he can watch it and his grandchildren can watch it, it was the most amazing thing i really suggest waiting so that you can experience this and it cost about the same amound i think my husband and i paid 0 for everything

  34. QUESTION:
    Link between HPT and gender of baby.?
    Just for fun, I was wondering if there was a link between home pregnancy test and the gender of your baby.
    I've always used first response HPT with all three of my pregnancy's. Have you found a link between the color/definition and the gender of your baby.
    First pregnancy: Very light line, had a boy
    #2: DARK line, had a girl
    #3: very light line, find out next week what we are expecting.

    Again, this is just for fun. If you can remember that far back was your line light or dark, and what gender baby did you have?

    Also, I tested for all 3 of my pregnancy's the day before my period, or 13 days after ovulation.
    Today 8/31/10 I had a sonogram with my third pregnancy, and am indeed having a boy. Possibly some womens hcg levels do infact reflect the gender of the baby.
    Thanks for the feed back!

    • ANSWER:
      My first was a boy. All the while, every line I ever saw on a test was dark. My second was also a boy, and I believe every line I ever saw with him was light. Obviously, the hue of the lines involved will depend entirely upon your hcg levels; there's some suggestion in the medical community that hcg levels vary depending upon the gender of the baby you're carrying, but this hasn't been proven one way or the other, to the best of my knowledge.

      Still, an interesting question!

  35. QUESTION:
    Showing? Gender? & Baby movement?
    I'm only 7 weeks and 3 days, so I know I won't find any of these out for a while.
    I'm just anxious.I kind of have a gut feeling its going to be a boy. Has anyone else ever felt this way, and it came to be true?
    How far were you when you found out the gender of your little one?

    Also, when did you start showing? I know I wont show yet. I feel like my lower abdomen is getting hard, but isnt that just bloating? It couldnt be the baby yet right?
    I'm also a little over weight so I'm sure that'll have something to do with it.

    And also, when did you first feel the baby move in your first pregnancy?

    Any input on these topics would be helpful! Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      I knew I was having a boy from day 1 - I had a boy. We found out the sex at 27 weeks. I started showing at about 13 weeks I think. I first felt the baby move around 23 weeks. It feels like bubbles popping inside you, very cool, something to look forward to!! You are very early on so most likely you are not showing yet, enjoy wearing your regular clothes for as long as you can!

  36. QUESTION:
    Will I fall pregnant with my preferred gender baby?
    I know there are probably few, if any, psychics on here but will still hope...I have been trying to fall pregnant with my preferred gender baby; based on a specific program for choosing the gender of your baby, for a few months but have not succeeded yet. I recently saw two psychics and they both said I would have the gender that I wanted (I didn't mention that I wanted to get pregnant or the gender) and I just want to know whether it will happen? I know when I am ovulating so can fall pregnant based on that however it does not fit in with my gender program dates of conception so what I want to know is whether I should continue sticking to the program and wait it out or just try to conceive when I know I am ovulating and will almost definitely fall pregnant (program I am on in almost 95% accurate and does not ask for any menstruating/ovulating timelines etc)? Also, for any psychics out there that do answer, please give me some information that can prove to me that you are psychic so I can consider your answer based on these facts.

    Thanks in advance for no sarcastic comments

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, I dont know whether youre trying for a boy or girl but I hoped and hoped for a girl....my theory.....For a girl you need to have sex a day or two before ovulation because female sperm is hardier/longer lasting where as for a boy sex at ovulation or just after as the male sperm is faster to the egg (which would obviously be there ready and waiting) Therefore chart your periods and ovulation time and just go for it, I think, as many may agree, that thinking and trying too hard may hinder your progree here. Have fun trying and btw....it worked for me both times, I have a son and daughter. Good luck and best wishes, hope you get what you want xxxxx

      there are no true way to tell your baby's gender without an ultrasound & even with an ultrasound they can only be 80% sure!

      They could tell you that you are expecting a girl but they just may not be able to see the penis!
      They could tell you that you are expecting a boy but it could be the umbilical cord between the legs!!

      you just have to wait until your baby is born to be 100% sure!

We were originally going to cut into a cake and the frosting inside would either be pink or blue based on the gender, but we are having it at a restaurant now so we can't bring a cake in. Any other cute ideas about how we should reveal the gender?

      Probably for firstborn a boy so he can carry on the family name and such. Also, if something were to happen to the father, he could be man of the household as well. After firstborn, gender isn't as important.

Gender Predicter

The Role of Ovulation in Gender Prediction
Whether you're trying to get pregnant with a boy or a girl, understanding ovulation and how it can help in gender prediction, is something worth considering.

Ovulation refers to the discharge of a mature egg from the ovary. It also marks the time when you are most fertile. And as discussed in the previous posts, a timed lovemaking will not only greatly increase your chances of getting pregnant, but it will also help you succeed in choosing the gender of your baby.

You will need two things to find out exactly when ovulation takes place in your body each month. These are:

1. Thermometer -- can either be glass or digital. Glass is more accurate but digital iseasier to read.

2.Ovulation Chart -- a lot of sites like www.meditests.com andwww.babyhopes.com have this.

Charting your basal body temperature should start at the beginning of your cycle on the first day of menstruation. It is a must to take your temperature first thing in the morning take it before you get up or speak.

It is also advisable to do it at the same time each day. But if that's not possible, you'll just need to add .1 degree for every half hour that you rise earlier or subtract .1 degree for every half hour that you rise late.

Prior to ovulation, your body temperature should stay in the low range anywhere from 96.0 98.0 degree Fahrenheit. When you noticed an upward shift of roughly .4 degree upward for about three days, this is an indication that ovulation has occurred.

Once you can safely predict the day when ovulation will take place, you can now use it to your advantage. Keeping in mind the contrasting characteristics of X and Y chromosome, make love two to three days before you ovulate to increase the chances of conceiving a girl, or do it closest to the day you ovulate if a baby boy is what you want.

Although charting is a great help for gender prediction, not everyone benefits from it. Numerous factors like illness, stress or hormone imbalance may alter the regularity of the menstrual cycle and therefore the regularity of ovulation-date. But if you haven't used this method yet, there'll be no harm in trying.

Gender Prediction

Baby Gender Prediction Tips It is absolutely natural for couples to wonder what their baby's gender will be. In some cases, they would even resort to online baby gender quizzes or baby calculators just so they can compute the odds of conceiving a girl vis-a-vis a boy. Baby gender prediction can be done through several methods some of which providing 100% accuracy and supported by scientific studies while others remain mere tell-tales. If you are not a big fan of surprises and you want to find out about your baby's gender right away, you may want to consider some of these baby gender prediction tips.

The Old Wives Tale Despite the technologies that we have today, there remains a wide range of superstitions regarding baby gender prediction. The accuracy of these old techniques vary widely but they can be a fun way to compute the odds of having a girl or a boy. For instance, some couples believe that you can detect your baby's gender through the Drano prediction method. This technique involves checking the urine color after it is added to a cup filled with Drano. A dark urine color is an indication that you are going to have a boy while urine that does not change its color indicates a girl. Another popular baby gender prediction belief is through your wedding ring. You dangle the wedding ring over your belly. If it swings in a circular motion, you are most likely to conceive a girl. If it swings back and forth, there is greater possibility for a boy.

Baby gender prediction test The baby gender prediction test is best for parents who want prefer Science over tell-tales. The kit determines baby's sex by tracing the amount of active fetal chromosomal DNA in your blood sample. This exam can be taken within your first five weeks after conception. It is believed that the test surpasses 80-90% accuracy rate of ultrasounds.

Ultrasound If your baby is positioned correctly, you can detect your baby's gender approximately 16 weeks after conception. An ultrasound is a medical method used during pregnancy to detect possible baby defects, to accurately count and determine your due date and to check the growth, size and the gender of your baby. The exam makes use of sound waves which are usually above the range of human hearing. These waves facilitate the creation of images of the organs within the mother's body. As the waves bounce back from your body back to the machine, the reflection of the waves is analyzed by the computer and is turned into pictures. If you want a more advance output, you can take a 3D ultrasound and a keepsake picture or video of your unborn baby. While the ultrasound has proven to be 95% accurate, there remains a very few situations wherein the wrong gender is advised.

Depending on your ethical considerations and beliefs, there are a wide range of baby gender prediction tests to consider. Accuracy; however, is most likely to be attained through science and medical techniques.

Gender Predicting

Predicting Baby Gender - Can You Really Pick Your Baby's Gender? Gender selection of youngsters is a controversial subject, particularly in terms of genetic therapy along with the ethics of selecting the sex of your child. Whilst there surely have been advances in the field of genetics, you'll find actually several organic and completely ethical issues that you simply can do that can boost the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child.

Although no method is 100% accurate, if you're determined to have a son or a daughter, there are some things that may be carried out to considerably enhance your probabilities of conceiving the gender of your selection. Don't forget, essentially the most important thing would be to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do desire to try to choose the gender of your baby, it really is feasible. Here's what you need to know.
Variations in Semen
The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, even though the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y semen are faster, smaller, more agile but they also do not last so long as the "girl" semen. The X sperm are bigger and move very slowly. Additionally to their overall speed, they have distinct preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does far better in an acidic environment whilst the Y semen want an alkaline environment.

How These Differences Impact Conceiving
Now that we have recognized the variations among the sperm that carry diverse chromosomes, it really is essential to recognize how these variances could be used for organic gender choice. When you've got this info, you can start trying to get pregnant a infant which will be a specific gender.

If you want to have a son, the timing is crucial. Because these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your sexual intercourse as closely to ovulation as probable. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg just before the X sperm do, growing the chances that you simply will have a boy.
If you would like to have a girl, you have to give the X semen lots of time to get to the egg. Because they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a couple of days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X semen behind. They are going to have the time needed to travel up via the cervix to arrive at the egg and fertilize it.

Gender Prediction Chart

Gender Selection Diet - What Should You Eat?
So is it true? Can you now select the sex of your next baby by watching what foods you do and don't eat?

According to many Mothers in today's world, and Fathers too, it is possible! The gender selection diet will have you altering what you eat to increase your chances of conceiving either a girl or a boy.

For hundreds of years women have been trying everything possible to influence the gender of their yet to be conceived children. In today's society where our governments tell us what is and isn't ethical, and make rules that it's citizens have to abide by, then taking certain matters into our own hands was bound to happen sooner or later.

Natural gender selection and all of the differing methods that surround it are quickly surfacing to replace the illegal (in certain countries) medically assisted methods. Gender selection by medical intervention in some countries is now only allowed for certain purposes. To prevent varying genetic and hereditary illness and disease from being passed down the line of more generations.

What the gender selection diet does exactly no-one is sure. Some believe that it makes the woman's body acceptable to either the male or female sperm. How it does this is yet again another question that can't be properly answered. Some believe that the gender selection diet can alter the acidity of the mucus inside the vagina, high acidity is said to favour a boy, low acidity, a girl. Douching used to be a technique that some women used, although experts tend to steer women away from this method now as it has been linked to causing infection.

Whatever it does do, doesn't seem to matter as couples all over the world are raving at it's success rate. While it can be no where near 100% successful ( only one method can claim to be 99-100% successful and that method is medically assisted!) It seems to be tipping the balance for natural gender selection. As long as it takes you above the 50% chance of success that you have already, then I guess it's worth a try!

It does seem easy to follow, eat more of a certain food type to tip the balance in the gender stakes. The only problem seems to be... What if you don't like what you're told to eat?

  5. QUESTION:
    Would the Chinese Gender Prediction chart apply if?
    You are also having sperm spinning to increase the odds of chosen gender?
    Or would it cancel it out?

    • ANSWER:
      I think it wouldn't apply. You are kind of 'toying' with things to change them the way you want rather than how it should be, so I don't think it would apply. Good luck.

  6. QUESTION:
    How accurate was the Chinese gender prediction chart for you?
    I have two boys and desperatly want this one to be a girl, the chart said my other two were boys and they were, it is saying this on is a boy well. How accurate was the chart for you? http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

  7. QUESTION:
    Was the Chinese Gender Prediction Chart accurate for your children? What about the wedding ring trick?
    With my first child, the wedding ring was right and the Chinese chart was 50/50, depending on the website. I am 13.5 weeks with number two, and the wedding ring says girl and all the Chinese charts say girl. I know this is silly, but it's a fun way to pass the time. What were your results?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese chart has only worked on one of my kids, my middle child. It said 90% Girl. Now with my first pregnancy it did not work cause I was only 17 and the chart starts at age 18. With this one it is funny cause I turned 30 on April 7th and my last period was March 26th, and the way the chart tells you to look it up I couldn't cause I did not know if I conceived in march at 29 or april at 30. One said boy and the other said girl, I know I am having a girl but it still does not tell me if the chart worked. But I did try the wedding ring thing with this one and it did predict girl. SO who knows? LOL But they are fun to do.

  8. QUESTION:
    Which ancient chinese baby gender prediction chart out there is correct?
    There are so many different versions on the net, some say it is the age of the mother at conception, others say it is the age the mother will be when she is giving birth and another one is talking about the lunar age of the mother. Can anybody clarify and maybe show me the chart that worked for them?

    • ANSWER:

      On the chart it says it'll be a girl.
      And that's what the doctor said, but the tech said it was a boy.
      Here's to hoping the chart is right.

  10. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      It was right with my first, a girl. However, it was wrong with my second, it said I was having a boy, but I had another girl.
      I wouldn't place a whole lot of faith in it, but it is entertaining to do anyway.

  13. QUESTION:
    How i have to enter my age in chinese gender prediction chart?My date of birth is 09-09-1977.It is 28 or 29?
    Whether i have to enter the completed age or the running age?
    Now iam 28 years 8 months.In chinese gender chart,i have to enter my age as 28 or 29?
    I am suspecting i have conceived on this month(May 2006)

    • ANSWER:
      I dont understand the question. I look at the chinese birth chart all the time. You figure it out by the age you were when you conceived the baby. If you want a boy then put your age and the month you want to try and see if it says male.

  14. QUESTION:

  16. QUESTION:
    chinese gender prediction chart... did the sex of your baby end up being what the chart predicted? or is it? ?
    did you baby end up being what the chinese gender prediction chart end up predictiing the sex of your baby correctly? did it confirm it when you checked ? after you had the baby or when you found out after an ultrasound?
    just want to know if anyones prediction was correct or not??

    • ANSWER:
      according to this one
      http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx

      It says I am going to have a girl. The ultrasound also clearly showed I was having a girl.

      Well my own prediction was right. I knew the whole time it was a girl. Then when we had our 20 week ultrasound I was right.

      Also my husband and I could not agree on a boy name at all. But we had the girl name all picked out. Sure enough we did not need a boy name. My parents said the same thing happened to them. They could not agree on a boy name for me but had the girl name. They did not need the boy name.

  17. QUESTION:
    Has the Chinese baby gender prediction chart worked for you?
    Have any of you used this chart? Was it accurate?
    thanks for all of the answers thumbs up for all.
    Please anyone else whom has used let me know your experience with this chart! Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      The Chinese Gender Predictor was accurate for all 3 of my mothers children, me and my two older brothers. I'm hoping it's right for me because it says I am having a girl I want a girl :)

  18. QUESTION:
    Has anyone ever used a chinese gender prediction chart?
    was your result accurate? It was accurate for my 1st 2 children, but now for me 3rd it says it's a girl, but ultrasound says it's a boy. Just wondering the results you all got.

    • ANSWER:
      yep i looked at it and it promised a girl...much to my suprise when the ultrasound technichian jumped up and exclaimed "wow! thats one of the most developed MALE genetalia I've seen in a while!"

  19. QUESTION:
    Was the Chinese Gender Prediction Chart accurate for your child/children?
    I'm curious to see how often the chinese chart is right for predicting the sex of babies. If you have used it, was it right?

    I have 3 boys now and I am 10 weeks along with our 4th child.
    For our first, it said I was having a girl, second it said boy, and third it said girl. So it was wrong twice for us.
    This time it says we are having a boy...so we'll see in about 10 weeks when I have an ultrasound if it's right or wrong this time!

    • ANSWER:
      Well if you really want to know you can try a old wives tale that work all times for my mother-in-law and a good friend of mine.. what you do is you take your wedding band, or a ring that you were and put it on some string, you lay down and hold it over your belly and if it swings back and forth that is a boy and if it goes in a circle that its a girl... or you could spend 30$ at walgreens and get a pee test that can tell you, not sure how accurate it is but if you wanting to see those are you options..

      Chinese Chart was right about my daughter havent check with this pregnancy, I am one week ahead of you due Jan 18, 2010 but I am not ready to know, I'd like to wait until right before my appointment and do all the tricks and see what worked!

  21. QUESTION:
    Conflicting Chinese Gender Prediction Chart?
    Everyone's been raving about how the chinese gender prediction charts are all like 99% accurate, which is cool and all but I've checked several and I've gotten two different answers lol.

    If you've used a chinese gender prediction chart and had it be accurate, which did you use? The one I used is this:
    http://www.babygenderprediction.com/chinese-gender-chart.html

    According to that, I'm having a boy but according to the other I'm having a girl.
    I tried yours, LG, and it's now saying I'm having a girl >.< So both links were correct for you, but obviously one will be incorrect for me lol. I have about 12 weeks left to find out :(
    I actually took it again adding a year to my "age at birth" since the baby's due 9 days before my birthday... now it's saying boy lol. It'll definitely be interesting to see.

    • ANSWER:
      This is the one I used and it was right! http://www.babymed.com/chinese-gender-and-sex-calculator-calendar Just fun stuff... =) I tried yours and was right as well. We had a girl. Try mine! =)

      EDIT: Well the good news is it's either a boy or a girl! LOL... I think boy for you. Those things are really fun... It will be neat to find out if you really are having a boy. Try the chart on a friends baby if you know one and see if it was right. =)

  22. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction chart?
    I am trying to use this Chinese gender prediction chart. Yes I know it's a little silly but a lot of people say it worked for them. But some websites and people are saying you have to add on one year to your actual age for it to get your Chinese age- so that the chart will work correctly. When I use my normal age it says I'm having a boy. When I add one year it says I'm having a girl. When I do gender quiz'z (where you type in your date of birth and the Chinese predictor works it out for you) it says girl... I am confused lol

    • ANSWER:
      me and my friend used one where you enter your year of birth and it works it out for you and i was 24 when i got preg and it said my conception age was 25 but give it a go you dont have to worry about adding years! oh they were both right!

    any1 dun a chinese gender chart prediction an it was right?
    any1 done a chinese gender chart prediction and it turned out to be correct.???
    mine says boy

    • ANSWER:
      Yep me! I was 28 at time of conception and my little boy was due in May.

      Checked the chart and it was right :) Think it can be a little bit out sometimes but seen something somewhere once that said it was right in aroun 72% of cases????

      Good luck with all the guessing.

      The most accurate one I know of is the wedding ring on a thread but it has to be a married woman who does it for you. My mother-in-law has 100% right after 30 or so pregnancies across the family.

    The Chinese gender prediction chart - anyone ever used it and is it very accurate?
    Just want to know if its reliable that's all.

    • ANSWER:
      Well I've not really used it before conception but after I conceived it said Girl for me and My baby was a girl when born. I've seen it for two of my frineds and its come accurate for them also. So I believe its true quite a lot of times.

      But you have to be sure that you are entering the Lunar age and not the age accrding to the gregorian calendar because the lunar age might be different from the gregorian age and so it may differ in that case.

    Chinese gender prediction chart? anyone tried?
    Just want to hear from anyone who has tried the chinese gender prediction chart, its supposed to go by your lunar age and your lunar month you concieved this is supposed to give you what gender you are supposed to have! So I did everyones that I know is pregnant or just had a baby and they were all right except one. Mines said I am having a girl, but I won't find out until the end of april! So share your stories? Was it right or wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      With all 3 of mine it was right, however you have to remember its 50/50 and doesn't really have anything to do with the position your age, when you conceived or anything else, Its just whatever sperm made it there fastest....though it is fun to do the gender prediction things, With my last everything said it was a boy except the prediction chart said it was a girl....they were right she is a girl. you will have to keep us updated and let us know if its right!!!!! i was joking with my husband and said next time we try to have a baby i'm gonna find out when we should conceive for a boy lol then we can have 2 boys and 2 girls ( currently have a 4 yr old boy, 1 yr old girl and 7 week old girl....though of course even if we got another girl i would be super happy)

    Accuracy of Chinese Gender Prediction chart?
    Who used this while pregnant and had it be accurate? I was reading up on it and it said it was 90% accurate, but it also seems like it DIDN'T work for a lot of people.
    I know its supposed to be just for fun. I'm 21 weeks pregnant and find out on Monday what I'm having. So far, the charts are saying GIRL but I think it's a boy.
    Who used one of these silly charts and had an accurate result?

    • ANSWER:
      Ok this is the truth my first and second children were both girls and the chinese gender chart I did said to go by my age and the month they were due as well as month I conceived in and the chart came up girls and it was correct and this time it said boy and I am having a boy the way I see it the chart has a 50/50 chance of being accurate so do it for fun anyways why not.

      Well, I used it and it doesn't have my age, the next age up though (18) said my baby should be a boy and as far as my u/s tech could tell he is a boy. Though we didn't get a good look.

Should I go by February or March, i tryed both and one says boy and one says girl so I don't know what to go by?

      Go with March. March would be the month that you conceived. I wouldn't really go by what they say anyway lol... they are fun but 2 out of 3 times they were wrong for me. By the chart I should have 2 girls and 2 more on the way... I have a boy and a girl and 2 boys on the way lol.

Gender Of Your Baby

Find Out The Gender Of Your Baby - Ultrasound Testing
The pregnancy ultrasound is by far the most exciting and fun test for women to take. At approxmately 18 weeks into the pregnancy it is used to accurately pinpoint the expected arrival date of the baby, as well as see how the baby is developing. Yes, you will be able to determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl as well.

1. Track The Development Of Your Baby

A general practitioner will be able to tell if your baby is healthy or whether there is cause for concern. Although this is quite alarming for the expecting parents, it is essential for the health of your baby. If something is wrong, you will be required to go in for further testing.

2. Get To Know Your Baby

With Ultrasound, you can be introduced to a visual of your baby for the very first time! In many cases this is the first real wakeup call that both expecting parents have that a baby is on the way. Although tiny and not fully developed, the baby will be moving and some of its shape will be recognizable. The person carrying out the ultrasound will be able to point out how the baby is doing and answer any questions.

3. Is It A Boy Or A Girl?

The pregnancy ultrasound will reveal the burning question asked to the expecting parents time and time again - is it a boy or a girl? Depending on the procedures employed by the place giving the ultrasound, this information will be given to the parents upon request. This information is given on the understanding that it is as it appears, and may not be correct. Some rare cases have been known to be wrong, but in general, it is always right.

4. Things You Must Know

As you know, the Ultrasound can help to predict the due date for the baby. Unfortunately, if the prediction by the Ultrasound differs from your doctors prediction, you need to prepare for both due dates! A later ultrasound may reveal a different date. If this happens, prepare for the earliest date, just in case.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to plan what gender your baby will be?
    Is it possible to go to a fertilization doctor and plan the gender of your baby and have an artificial insemination or that other procedure of fertilization. I forgot the name of it.

    So is there a way.

    • ANSWER:
      Adoption can give you a guarantee.

      But if you're not talking about that, there are ways (although ethically controversial and expensive) to do it at a gender selection clinic. Also, there are theories about using calendars or eating certain foods to "plan" the gender of the baby, although these methods don't offer a 100% success rate.

  2. QUESTION:
    anyone know the gender of your unborn baby by the heart rate?
    I know its not always correct just wondering what gender your baby was and what was the heart rate. Thanks!
    Old wives tale just wondering. Don't be rude please. No need for that. I'm not stupid.

    • ANSWER:
      As far as I can tell, there are actually a lot of cases where the males heart rate is slightly slower than the females.
      My son's always ran on the slow side.

  3. QUESTION:
    How to does the ring tell what gender your baby will be when pregnant?
    I don't know anything about it
    But apparently if you hold a ring above your pregnant belly which ever way it turns that's the sex of the baby

    Is this true?
    How far along do u have to be to do this?
    How do you do it?

    • ANSWER:
      You tie it to a string and dangle it. Hold it still then let it do its thing. if it swings back and forth then it is a boy. If it swings in a circle its a girl. I don't how it works but i did it when I was 8 weeks, it said boy and were having a boy so it was right for me.
      The chines calendar said it was a boy too and that was right. I think that one is more reliable though.
      Congratulations on the baby!!

  4. QUESTION:
    do you know any old wives tales about what gender your baby would be?
    I was wondering if ppl out there experinced things that could corresponde with some old wives tales about what gender their baby would be. One pregnancy one i know is that if you get heartburn, your kid will have a full head of hair and this was true in the case of my first kid. But this is just for fun cuz i'm prego again and my bf swears this one will be a boy (we already have 3 other boys from previous marriages) and we want a girl this time so i just wanna playfully joke about how this one will be the girl!

    • ANSWER:
      Nose and butt spread slightly while pregnant - girl because she is stealing her mommies good looks
      Look as great if not greater - boy because he cherishes his mommy

      If someone asks for your hand and you offer it palm side down, it is a girl (more demure)
      If you offer it palm side up, it is a boy (grasping a tool)
      If you offer it to the side and it is the right hand - a boy (shaking a hand)
      If you offer it to the side and it is the left hand - a girl (offering hand to dance)

      If you can't eat the heel or crusts of bread - girl - too hard on your stomach
      If you like/love the heel or crusts of bread - boy - more roughage for a rough boy

      Crave fruits and veggies - girl
      Crave meat and potatoes - boy

      Get hairier during pregnancy - boy
      No change or less hairy - girl

      If you pull down on the lower lid of your left eye and there is a Y vein, it is a girl
      If there are two veins running perpendicular to each other, it is a boy.

  5. QUESTION:
    How did you predict what gender your baby would be?
    This is Just for fun...
    Did you have a dream, did you base it on science, did you have some other way of guessing, and where you right?

    • ANSWER:
      With my first pregnancy, I did have one dream that I was having a little girl. I bought clothes for both though just to be on the safe side. One day when I was going through all I needed to still get, it just hit me~~~I was having a girl! This is long before my ultra-sound was done, and sure enough, a girl!
      Now my second pregnancy, I was so mad and all around moody, plus carrying lower, so I at first figured I was having a boy. I was sorting through baby clothes to find my newborn items, and again it just hit me super hard "What am I doing? I'm having another girl". Again before ultra-sound, again 100% accurate!

    Can you tell what gender your baby is by the number of ribs in ultrasound?
    I am 17 weeks and have an ultrasound photo that cleary shows the ribs. Does anyone know? I cant wait to find out!!

    • ANSWER:
      Men and Women have the same number of ribs. There would be no way of finding out the sex of a baby by counting the ribs of your baby. The only way of knowing the gender is by seeing in ultrasound if the baby has boy parts or girl part.

  7. QUESTION:
    Have you had a dream where you see what gender your baby was?
    I had a dream that I had an ultrasound and when they came to the gender the babies legs were wide open and I could clearly see that it was a girl. Has anyone else dreamed the sex of their baby and was right? I don't have my 20 week U.S. for two weeks and then I'll know if my dream is right.

    • ANSWER:
      Since there is a 52/48 chance of girl to boy then maybe you subconscously want a girl. I dreamed I had sons 3 times - and delivered 3 girls. I REALLY wanted boys so my dreams did just that...gave me what I wanted. But there is a good chance that your dream is right..girls form more often than boys do!!!

  8. QUESTION:
    Is there a way to influence the gender of your baby while you are pregnant?
    I've heard that eating certain foods while you're pregnant could change the likely hood of the babies gender.
    What are some ways to increase your chances of a boy?
    What are some ways to increase your chances of a girl?

    • ANSWER:
      What you heard is absolutely false. The gender is determined at the moment of conception and nothing you eat or do will change that.

  9. QUESTION:
    Would you use the The Baby Gender Mentor kit to determine the sex of your baby when you are 5 weeks pregnant?
    The mail-in kit cost and then you pay a lab fee of 0 for the lab to process it within 48 hours. And then you can log in to the website and find out the gender of your baby. It is 99.9% accurate since it determined by your examining your blood.

    You can find out the baby’s gender 5 weeks after you conceived. By doing the test you can find out 3 months earlier than going to the doctor’s for an ultrasound, and ultrasounds are not as accurate as a blood test.

    What do you think? Do you think its worth it? Is it something you would do?

    • ANSWER:
      i looked into it when i was pregnant but i realized that i would rather see my baby so i went and got a 4-D ultrasound it was so amazing and there was no doubt of what i was having with the 4-D because it showed you in
      3-D picture it was awesome i got a CD full of pictures and a tape of the ultrasound so once he gets older he can watch it and his grandchildren can watch it, it was the most amazing thing i really suggest waiting so that you can experience this and it cost about the same amound i think my husband and i paid 0 for everything

  10. QUESTION:
    Is there a way to tell the gender of your baby without an ultrasound?
    Like is that ring thing true or the holding our your hands. Like what is the TRUE way to predict a babies gender.

    • ANSWER:
      there are no true way to tell your baby's gender without an ultrasound & even with an ultrasound they can only be 80% sure!

      They could tell you that you are expecting a girl but they just may not be able to see the penis!
      They could tell you that you are expecting a boy but it could be the umbilical cord between the legs!!

      you just have to wait until your baby is born to be 100% sure!

  11. QUESTION:
    POLL: Have you ever just *Known* what gender your baby is going to be?
    Have you even just *known* what the sex of your baby was going to be when you were pregnant?

    Without the obvious ultrasound telling you, did you know otherwise, where you were completely positive, no doubt in your mind?

    Were you right or wrong?

    • ANSWER:
      When I was younger, about 7, I swore to myself that I was going to have twin girls when I grew up, if not then 2 girls very close in age.
      When I got pregnant, my husband said boy/girl twins, but I said g/g twins. I was right. What's wierd is nobody in my family has ever had twins. But Laura and Charlotte are 4 days old.

  12. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  13. QUESTION:
    How true were your dreams with determining the gender of your baby?
    Well... I had my first baby dream last night... I dreamed that I was having an ultrasound and the tech told me I was having a baby boy. I never had any kind of dreams like that with my daughter... Did any of you have gender related dreams about your unborn baby? How accurate were they?

    • ANSWER:
      I had a dream with 1st and so did my Mum that I was having a boy . I never found out through ultrasound and he was a boy !
      I didnt dream with 2nd or 3rd and they were both girls !

      I had a dream early on we had a boy and he was 5 months premature but weighed 8 pound !! I had a similar pregnancy with boys compared to the girls so after this dream I was sure I was having a boy and sure enough im 31 weeks with a boy :)
      So YES my dreams were spot on , a bit weird but got the message across .
      Good Luck

  14. QUESTION:
    Can you determine the gender of your baby based on when you conceive?
    I have read in several books that depending on what point around ovulation you have sex, this could determine the gender of your baby. Does anyone know if this is true? For example, I read that if you bd 2-3 prior to ovulation then you are more likely to have a girl bc the females live longer, but if it's the day of ovulation, it is more likely to be a boy bc the males swim quicker but don't live as long. Has anyone heard this. Does anyone know if it is true?

    • ANSWER:
      It actually is true, proven by several doctors.

      Here's an article on it: http://www.childbirth.org/articles/sex.html

      It was also shown on the mom show and their doctor said it worked.

  15. QUESTION:
    What is the earliest you found out the gender of your baby?
    I am 14 1/2 weeks and going for an ultrasound tomorrow. I know its early but my sister found out the gender of her son at 15 weeks so I am hoping we can see something tomorrow. What is the soonest that you found out your baby's gender?
    Of course, healthy is all I am praying for. I will love a boy or girl just the same -- just anxious to find out so we can prepare more. Also, so I can start saying he or she.......I hate saying "it". When I say he, everyone jumps "You are having a boy?". Lol. Just anxious....that's all.

    • ANSWER:
      At 12 weeks my ultrasound tech said she couldn't be sure but it looked like a boy.
      She was right.
      Oh, and by the way...I had had 2 girls and the u/s pictures were totally different, so I agreed that it looked like a boy to me.

  16. QUESTION:
    How to change the gender of your baby sims 3?
    On sims 3 my dad is a doctor, which means he can predict what the gender of my mom's baby is going to be. i've had 5 boys now, each time hoping to have a girl. i've tried the watermelon thing and it doesn't work. is there any way you can change the gender of your baby after asking a doctor?

    • ANSWER:
      The watermelon/apple thing works every time for me. I prefer boys so I eat apples. It only works though if you don't eat ANY apples. Like avoid pancakes as they are almost always Apple Pancakes. You can't change the gender once it's been confirmed. It did once say I was having a girl and had twin boys! lol I ate lots of apples after so maybe that's it?

  17. QUESTION:
    Would you use this test to tell what gender your baby is at 7 weeks?
    http://www.parenting.com/blogs/show-and-tell/desiree-parentingcom/moms-can-find-out-babys-sex-7-weeks?cid=obinsite

    I imagine its pretty pricey. In the article they said a couple hundred dollars. And I almost immediately thought of women getting abortions just because they didn't like the sex of their baby.

    Would you use that test? Or would you rather wait and get an ultrasound later on?

    • ANSWER:

  18. QUESTION:
    Did you predict the gender of your baby correctly?
    My husband and I are just over a week away from finding out the gender of our 3rd child. He says it's a girl, while I say it's a boy. We have 2 daughters already.We both guessed girl with our second & were correct, while with our first we both said boy and it was a girl. So I'm truly not sure this time around!

    So in the weeks prior to finding out your babies gender.. did you guess the right/wrong gender? or did you have no clue at all?

    Just curious :) Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      I knew from the moment I found out that I was pregnant, we were having a girl. Just a really strong hunch. And I was right. We have a beautiful 13 month old little girl now :)

  19. QUESTION:
    How accurate was guess at the gender of your baby?
    Im only 15 weeks but we have decided to leave the gender of our baby a surprise, even for us! But I can't help always wondering what I have. Im pretty convinced I have a girl, but my husband reckons its a boy lol. I keep having dreams of girl babies.
    I read a statistic somewhere that mothers were 90% accurate in guessing the gender of their unborn child, so I wanted to know, how did you go with it, was your gut instinct correct?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm on my 3rd son, and I've been right with all 3 of them, lol. The first one at first I wanted a girl, but then I ended up wanting a boy, and I kept thinking it was a boy. Then, whenever I went, it was a boy. My second one it was the same way. I really wanted a girl then, but the night before I went in I was looking at baby stuff, and I kept looking at boy stuff instead of girl. And I'm like, yeah, I know your gonna be a boy, and he was a boy. This one, I told everyone that I thought it was gonna be a boy, (that's what I wanted) and everyone else said it was a girl. When I went in, I told the nurse I wanted to guess, and when she moved the thing over his parts I knew immediately it was a boy, lol. So yeah.. You never really know, but mothers usually have a very strong instinct. :)

  24. QUESTION:
    What was the earliest you found out the gender of your baby?
    Hi ill be 17 weeks on Tuesday and I was just wondering what was the earliest you found out the gender of your baby? Ive been told by people doctors wont tell you til your 20 weeks but ive also heard some check at 18 weeks. Thanks =]

    • ANSWER:
      Most doctors like to wait until after 18 weeks for accuracy sake...that, and when they are doing the ultrasound, they are not only checking for gender, but also looking at other organs that they can view more clearly after 18 weeks. I went for a private US at 16 weeks and was told that it was a girl...and my doctor confirmed that she is in fact a "she" (lol) when I had the US with him after week 18.

  25. QUESTION:
    can your diet affect the gender of your baby?
    I read this thing that said your diet can affect the gender of your baby. For example, saltier foods like chips and meat can result in a boy and sweeter foods like cake and candy, or fish can result in a girl. Is this true?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, the idea that saltier foods would make for a boy, while sweet foods make girls sounds like it is based on society's idea of how boys and girls should behave. And of course, many languages have some linguistic association with girls and fish. However, from a scientific point of view, I would dissmiss this as nonsense, it is simply the foods people associate with the genders.

      However, a woman's diet around the time of conception may actually influence the gender of her baby, though not depending on whether foods are sweet or salty.

      A recent study suggests a high-calorie diet at the time of conception - and regular breakfasts - might increase the odds of a boy. The researchers found 56% of women with the highest energy intake around the time of conception had boys, compared to just 45% among women with the lowest energy intake. Women who had sons were also more likely to have eaten a higher quantity and wider range of nutrients, including potassium, calcium and vitamins C, E and B12. They were also more likely to have eaten breakfast cereals.

  26. QUESTION:
    Can a urine test really determine the gender of your unborn baby?
    can a urine test really determine the sex of your unborn baby? ive asked this question 3 times but i keep getting mixed answers. i am really confused on how urine could even tell you the gender of your baby. what does pee have to do with the sex of your baby? does a pregnant womans pee change if its a boy or girl?

    • ANSWER:
      No, a urine test could not reliably tell the gender of your baby. It is thought that certain hormone levels are higher/lower depending on if you're carrying a boy vs. girl, and that is the principle those type of tests go on.
      The tests are about as accurate predicting gender based on if you're carrying "high" or "low"; like a "basketball" or a "watermelon"; or whether or not you had morning sickness or heartburn.

  27. QUESTION:
    what determines what gender your baby is?
    ie is more likely you'll have a boy because of the parents have got brothers? sexual positions??
    By the way when i posted the question i forgot to add.....'any idiots out there who can only think of really pointless answers, dont reply'
    thanks for the sensible answers, obvioulsy its not interesting to some people, but it is to me

    • ANSWER:
      The father determines the sex of the baby. His sperm will contain either an X or a Y chromosome. if its an x the baby will be a girl, if its a y it will be a boy.
      postion, time of month, diet or any other wives tale has no bearing at all on what you will have.

  28. QUESTION:
    Does the position you have sex in determine the gender of your baby?
    A few people have told me that you can choose which gender you want your baby to be by the position you have sex in, is this true??? If so what positions mean what genders?

    • ANSWER:
      Check any medical site... men determine the sex.

  29. QUESTION:
    What month can you find out the gender of your baby?
    When can you find out in your pregnancy what the gender of the baby is?

    • ANSWER:
      You'll get an ultrasound around 18 - 20 weeks. If the baby co-operates you'll find out then. People say they can tell sooner but they can't...they can guess and say "oh it looks like this" but I've had 4 friends been told they were having one thing at 16 weeks and at 19 weeks they were told "woops, we were wrong it's this instead". Plus I went for one last week and asked if she could tell and she said it is WAY too soon, not until my Dec 3rd one...I'm 16 weeks now.
      So it really can't be done until 18-20 weeks.

    Im 16wks, got a dr apt. in a week & shes gonna set an apt. for an ultrasound, so hopefully I can find out then but I was just wondering how far along were you when you found out the gender of your baby?

    • ANSWER:

    Did you have dreams about the gender of your baby before you found out? And were the dreams correct?

    • ANSWER:

  36. QUESTION:
    If you could choose the gender of your baby what would you choose?
    If you could choose the gender of your baby what would you choose and why?

    • ANSWER:
      I'd choose a boy as my first baby, though I'd like at least one of each gender eventually. Boys just seem easier to raise than girls, and more straight forward. I have a feeling I'd clash with a teen daughter, so I'd like to gain experience of parenting a teen with a boy first.

  37. QUESTION:
    If you could choose the gender of your baby would you?
    With today's technology it is possible to choose the gender of your baby. Hypothetically speaking without getting science involved would you choose the gender or do you like "nature" choosing for you?

      everything from God is Blessing ..
      i like God choosing for me :)

  38. QUESTION:
    How can you chose the gender of your baby?
    If you and your husband were planning on getting pregnant, and you both wanted to conceive a specific gender, what steps would you take or what techniques would you use to almost guarantee making that child the sex of your choice? Adoption does not count.

    • ANSWER:
      To be honest... you should love your baby no matter if it is not the gender that you want. You shouldn't be too picky. A lot of women are still trying to get pregnant... and are having a difficult time... and wouldn't be too picky on the gender. Anywayz... If you want a girl then have sex a day or two before your ovulation... If you want a boy then have sex the day of ovulation. Research studies have shown that the sperm carrying the XX chromosome are slower, heavier, and a lot stronger than that of the XY. Supposedly most of the XY will die on the swim to the fallopian tube and since there is not an egg yet ready most might even die off as the XX continue to swim. I honestly don't know how this works out... but it does not hurt to try. Other than that... you would have to go see the type of doctor who specializes in altering genetics like that so you can get whatever gender you want... keep in mind that it costs a lot. Good luck!!

  40. QUESTION:
    Were you able to predict the gender of your baby?
    I think I'm going to have a boy. The first time I thought I was going to have a girl, and I was right. Do you think some women are intuitive enough to predict their baby's gender? Were you able to predict your baby's gender? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, with both of my children I dreamed I was pregnant and delivered a boy/girl. This always happened right before I found out I was pregnant. The first time I dreamed I had a girl, and I did. Then the second time I dreamed I had a boy, and I did. I am pregnant again, and this time I dreamed I had a boy and a girl, so I really praying this one isn't correct lol. I order my babies one at a time :)

  41. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had dreams while they were pregnant about what the gender of your baby would be?
    There are some myths out there saying if you dream about one gender of the baby while your pregnant, it means you will have the opposite gender. However, I've heard some stories of women who dreamed about one gender and end up having that same gender. What is your experience with that type of dream?

    • ANSWER:
      I had dreams all the time before I found out the sex, that I was having a girl, I think once I had a dream it was a boy. All of my symptoms and even the Chinese calender said it was a girl. Going to have a baby boy :)

  43. QUESTION:
    Mommies did you know the gender of your baby?
    Did you dream about your baby and did you know the gender before you found out. With all my children I had a gut feeling what i was carrying. I have 5 boys and 1 toddler girl.

    • ANSWER:
      I know this might sound a little weird but it is a dream I had when I was pregnant. The dream: Me and my boyfriend went to the dr to find out what the sex of the baby was, it kept moving so we couldn't see any parts. When we got home we cut my belly open and it was a girl. Low and behold a few months later out came a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      Provide each member of your congregation with an inexpensive appropriately colored flower (daisy or carnation perhaps) as they enter the church for that morning's service. This way, as part of your extended family, you are showing your love and appreciation while presenting them with a keepsake/memento which is sure to be cherished. Congratulations!

  45. QUESTION:
    Was your instinct correct about the gender of your baby?
    Every time I have dreamed about my baby, it has been a girl. I have a feeling that it is a girl, but I don't want to tell anyone about my instinct in case I am wrong. I've taken the Intelligender test (which I know is not reliable and more just for fun), and it had a strong "boy" result. My mom is INSISTANT that it is a boy. Did you have an instinct about the gender of your baby, and was that instinct correct?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. My husband and I both just knew we were having a girl, we even called her by her name before we knew for sure. My mom kept saying "I hope it's a girl" and I'd say "don't worry she's a girl". Sure enough, she's a girl

Gender Conception Calendar

How soon can you detect your baby gender?
There are so many methods and myths about determining the baby gender of your choice. I'm here now to give you tips on how to get the specific gender you always wanted through sexual intercourse positions. This is one of the easiest ways and is proven to be effective by many people.

Guys, remember that the sex of your baby is determined by which sex chromosome fertilizes the egg first. Y sperm represents a male and X sperm represents a female. It means that whoever gets there first will win the race. If Y sperm wins, you will have a baby boy and if the X sperm wins, you will get a baby girl.

In order for you to be able to choose the gender of your baby, you must know the characteristics of each sperm. Male sperm is known as sprinter, small size, active and a fast swimmer but the life span is very short. It will live not more than 24 hours. On the other hand, female sperm is bigger in size, passive and a slow swimmer but it has a very long life. It can live in a woman's body up to 72 hours.

How to use this information to choose your baby sex?

To get a baby boy - You want the sperm to be deposited as close as possible to the egg. The man must use deep penetration technique. Why?, because the male Y chromosome swims faster than the female X chromosome. Furthermore, you want the male sperm to reach the egg first because of the short life span, it must reach the egg before it dies. The best sex position is the missionary position. During ejaculation, the woman should lift both of her legs as close as possible to her breasts.

To get a baby girl - You want the sperm to be deposited as far as possible from the egg. The man must use shallow penetration technique. This is to allow the female sperm, the slow swimmer to reach the egg slow and steady. Don't worry about the male sperms. They will die before they can reach the egg. The best sex position to get a baby girl is the rear penetration (doggie style).

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How do you read the Chinese Gender Calendar?
    Some Chinese Calendars say, start with your current age, and month at conception, and some say age when the baby is born, and conception? Which is true? That's what confuses me when I want to read the calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  2. QUESTION:
    21 Year Olds and the Chinese Conception Calendar!!?
    ...Hello there! Have been inspired by a fellow yahoo answerer to ask this question, maybe for a bit of validity, maybe just to see how accurate this method has proven for some of you ladies out there :]

    I was pregnant aged 21 with my little girl.. I have to admit, I was referred to checking the chinese gender calendar for a bit of fun before I knew what I was having, and it proved right in my case. I was REALLY surprised though that this calendar depicted that nearly ALL women aged 21 when they fell pregnant, would have a little girl unless they conceived in January. Ha!? How can this be possible I hear you say?!

    ...I would love to see how many of you were pregnant at 21 and proven right/ wrong by this calendar. Also, feel free to tell me your experiences with this "predictor", regardless of your age!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this calender is only just for fun, but I believe it to be very accurate. When I was 19 it said I'd have a boy and that is what happen. The second time I was 25 and it said that I was having a girl and that is what I got. Every time someone I know gets preggers, I refer to it and every single time with out fail it is correct. It may just be a fluke, I don't know. I'm sure that its not right for everybody though.

  3. QUESTION:
    Chinese calendar gender predictor. Did it work for you?
    The calendar that goes by month of conception and age at conception did it work out for you or not?

    • ANSWER:
      yes...i just found out this week it is right with me having a little boy. babyguru was also right for me and several friends (google it)

  4. QUESTION:
    Does anyone else believe in the Ancient Chinese Gender Prediction Calendar?
    I know its seems a little far out as to believe in it or not but I looked back to when I had my other two childrens conception month and my age at that time and it was correct both times!

  5. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese gender calendar right for you?
    Your age and month of conception, was it right for you?
    It was right for me, and many many girls I know.

    So I'm just wondering, if it was right for you?

    I'll provide a link of it: http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx?MsdVisit=1

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me. It said boy and I had a boy. It was also right for my gender, if I got my moms age and conception month right.

  6. QUESTION:
    Chinese Calendar gender calendar?
    I understand the Chineese calendar is used from the day of conception. Unfortunately, people are getting me confused. Do you go by the day you had sex? or the first month of pregnancy? Has anybody used this caledar, what were your results?

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn't matter. It can never absolutely tell you what gender your baby will be, everything except a sonogram and an amniocentesis is just a guess. After all, every single one of those old-wives tales about how to find out the gender have a statistical chance of being right half the time.

  7. QUESTION:
    How accurate are the Chinese Calendars for Predicting Gender?
    I know its all probably hocus pocus about the determining gender, but play along. How many people have used the chinese calendar and had it be accurate? Also, is conception dates last menstrual or the actual month you conceived? Like for me, my LMP is end of april but i know i conceived may 11th. So which month would I use?

    Also, are most women at the age of 30-34 having mostly girls?

    Thanks in advance! :D
    sigh.. please dont say 50/50. I know that. I'm asking for people who have had children and if they match the chinese calendar method.

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html
    to redneckeeyore: the heart rate thing is a myth from what i've been reading - the percentage of difference is only 1-2% and varies a lot. Like you, my baby started out around 135bpm and went up to 170bpm by week 8. My EDD is feb 5 and my gut feeling is a girl.

    Ive been paying attention on TV when i see women with children. Generally speaking, I'm seeing younger women with boys and older women with girls. It seems to work out as the chart is predicting.

    The woman may not have a choice in gender, but my hunch is that the woman's conditions inside her may dictate which sperm dies off faster. So, perhaps as she gets older, her vaginal area is probably more conducive to girls? Its just a hunch, I have no basis on this other than observation and trying to explain the Chinese calendar some, as to why the age of the woman would mattter.

    Thanks for participating :)

    • ANSWER:
      This chart was correct for me... I also asked a few friends and it was correct 9/10 times (I think I read that it has approximately 91-93% accuracy). There are always exceptions to the rule, but I like this one the best. I also wonder about women 30-34 having girls according to the chart.

      The conception date is the month you actually conceived the child, so you would use May.

      Good Luck and enjoy your pregnancy!

  8. QUESTION:
    choosing the gender before conception?
    is there truth the shettles method of conceiving a boy or girl.
    just wondered if anyone out there has had any success with it as it seem plausible, but then i read about o+12 method which contradicts shettles and tells you if you want a girl to have intercourse 12 hours after ovulation whereas shettles recommends 2 1/2 to 3 days before ovulation. also been looking at the chinese ovulation calendar not sure if any of these have any success would be interested to hear any success stories in getting the preferred gender.

    I would like to add that i do not prefer one gender over the other at all, every child is a blessing but after three gorgeous sons we are considering a daughter and if i can improve the chances so be it but if i am blessed with another son (so help me god LOL) then thats ok to.

    • ANSWER:
      I conceived my daughter on day 11 of my cycle so yes, like Brittney says ,have sex up to about day 11 or 12 of your cycle then not again till aweek or so later(the sex a week later is just to practise!).This of course presumes that u have a 28 day cycle.This hopefully ensures that any sperm you have left are mainly female and thus increases the chance of a girl being conceived.I've also heard that the father can eat certain foods that promote the production of female sperm.You'd have to research that one as i'm not sure. Hope this is of some small help.

  12. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese calendar correct for you?
    Did the gender of your child turn out to be the same as the prediction of the chinese calendar? If you haven't used one or seen one, it is a chart that predicts the gender of your child by using your age at conception and the month of conception to predict the gender. Check it out at chinesebirthcalendar.org. I am wanting to have a girl this time and just wondering about its accuracy. It was right for my last pregnancy but just curios how often it is right. Remember, age at the time of conception, not when you had your baby, and month you conceived, not the month he/she was born.

    • ANSWER:
      not once... and i have 4 kids.... actually... it was so inacurate that when it told me the last time that i was having a boy... i knew for sure i'd have a girl....

  13. QUESTION:
    Chinese Sex Gender Birth Predictor...Is it real?
    I was recently surfing the web and I happened to come across a wonderful website called stumbleupon.com. Its amazing check it out. Anyway, as I was stumbling, I came ascrosss an ancient Chinese gender chart. Now on this chaart it (supposedly) tells you (by age of the mother t conception and month of conception) what gender your baby will be. Now I really want to have a boy and by the looks of this chart I only have untill the end of this month to get pregnant or else I will only get pregnant with girls for the rest of the year. I really dont care either way if I have a boy or girl any baby is a gift from God. I just wanted to know If anyone else thinks this chart is true...so check it out and let me know what you think.
    babymed.com/tools/other/chinese_gender_calendar/Chart.aspx
    I also looked at the cahrt to figure out if it was true for my mother (who has 2 kids me and my little brother) and it turned out to be right

    • ANSWER:
      I asked this question about this time last year when I was pregnant and saw the Chinese gender chart. It turned out to be wrong, I was supposed to have a boy.
      Gender has nothing to do with a Chinese chart. Obviously there is no way that the chart could see into everyone's sperm in the world and always be correct. Since there are only two choices for gender, it is always fifty-fifty, no matter what. It's just like any other old wives tales. The gender of a child is decided by which type of sperm fertilizes with the egg. And I hate to say it, but if this thing were true, there wouldn't be any women in China trying to conceive during the months that would produce girls. And with the amount of abortions there are over there, and the amount of women getting pregnant over and over until they have sons instead....the chart isn't something to take seriously.

  15. QUESTION:
    curious about gender prediction?
    I'm looking at a gender prediction calendar and it has been freaking right for 6 of the 7 babies I've checked the gender of. I'm beginning to think it really works. I need to try some more on it though. Tell me your age you were at conception, the month you conceived in, and the gender of that child. I want a girl and if it's right it's telling me that to conceive this month I'd get another boy.

    • ANSWER:
      Hate to disappoint you but there are two versions online (one chinese calendar is exactly the opposite of the other)....who knows which is the right/accurate one.

  16. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the chinese Chinese Lunar Calendar aka Chinese birth chart to predict your baby's sex?
    I was just curious how accurate this thing is. Can you guys try it and let me know?
    Here's the website:
    http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Chinese-conception-gender-chart-9.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I can tell you as a Chinese who was born into a well educated family...no high educated Chinese people use that system. It is called superstition.

      Like someone said, it is a 50/50 chance to get it correctly. However if you think about it, a random guess would also have a 50/50 chance to get it right if you have a large enough sample, since there are only two possibilities(99.99% the time anyway).

    Chinese Gender Calendars!?
    First off I KNOW these are just for fun! But for those that do enjoy them I have a question....do you go by the month of your LMP or do you go by your actual conception month?? For instance my LMP was May 19th and I conceived June 4th. Would I use June or May? Thanks!

    Also...I know there are TONS of the these calendars out there! Why don't you all post your favorite ones and we can see how accurate they are!

      I believe you use your conception month. Even though some people don't know exactly when but usually their LMP is in the same month as their conception date. I would love if these were actually true too.. but with my 1st it said boy and it was a girl... this time it says girl so maybe a boy?:) I'll know on Sept 2 if he/she cooperates!:) I've always used this one

    Did this baby gender predictor work for you?
    Check out this website, and tell me if it was accurate for you!
    This Chinese lunar calendar is supposed to predict your baby's gender based on your age at conception, and the month you conceived. It was accurate for me and everyone I have sent it to.

    • ANSWER:
      yes- with both my pregnancies! With my second I was convinced i was having a boy- but the chinese calendar said GIRL- and i insisted boy- and then at my ultrasound it was confirmed a girl- and what do you know I had another girl. So it was correct for both of my kids. It also was correct with my cousins son- and both of my sisters 3 kids- I've also read/heard that the chinese calendar thing is about 99% accurate!

    Thanks
    Wow Danielle! You're correct, my first day of last period was on June 18th.

  25. QUESTION:
    Chinese birth calendar?!?
    Anyone else done this? Supposedly because I am 19 and concieved in December it's a girl. We can trace conception back, and we think it was either very late november or very early december. (28th - 3rd.) So either way, even if we did concieve in november, it still says i will be having a girl.
    Everything else says I will be having a boy. (I mean wives tales.)
    &I have a feeling it's a boy too..

    Anyone done the chinese calendar? How did It go for you? I'm finding out the gender in under an hour! (ultrasound appt.)

  26. QUESTION:
    Question about baby's gender?
    I was looking up how to conceive a girl, and according to the "chinese calendar" you can only conceive a girl in certain months...but I thought the baby's gender is determined by the sperm? So I'm kinda confused. I'm 4 weeks pregnant. My conception month is in december. I really really really want a girl. (Since I'm already pregnant now, is there anything to do now to increase the chance of having a girl?)
    Thank you you all, by reading all the answers, it really made me realized a lot. its not that I don't want a boy, I'd perfer a girl...but thank you I really feel stupid for even asking this question in the first place

    • ANSWER:
      If you are pregnant then the gender of the baby has already been determined. The gender is determined the second the sperm fertilizes the egg. Once you see your baby for the first time on the ultrasound and hold him or her for the first time you will see how silly you have been.

  27. QUESTION:
    how do you figure out your 'chinese' birthday?
    My husband and I have 4 wonderful children. In the future, we would love to add one more. We have one daughter, and three sons. We would LOVE to try and have another girl ( although, truthfully, gender doesn't really matter). I have gone over the Chinese Gender Calendar, and when I calculate my age/month of conception ( for ALL of my other children) none of the predictions are accurate. I have read somewhere that you have to use your Chinese Age, not your actual birth age... I can't figure out how to calculate that correctly though. Has anyone relied on this method, and has it worked for you? Also, how do I calculate my chinese age?

    ( For those of you thinking of asking, YES, we are financially stable, and have the means to raise and care for all of our children!)

    Intelligender and Chinese Prediction calender?
    Hey all, I'm only 7w4d Pregnant but I picked up the Intelligender test to try at 10 weeks just for fun!

    What are your experiences with them, have they been correct for you?

Now when I first tried this I was 21 Just 2 weeks ago, said it was a "girl" I recently turned 22 and now it says boy.

    I'm obviously not going to go out and buy a bunch of pinks or blues based on the reading from Intelligender or the gender calendar, I just think It's really fun to think about!

    Thanks :D

    • ANSWER:
      Never tried the Intelligender, I want to too only 5w5d right now though lol, as for Chinese calendar you go by your Chinese Lunar Age, I just turned 27 in May but according to my Lunar age I am 28, it says I am having a boy, if all goes well I hope it's true.

(Which sounded right to me) But, if i go on one of those conception date things, and put in my due date it says May 13th was conception. BUT that would not put me at 9w1d on July 2nd. Confused?? My LMP was about Ap. 15th-20th. I am trying to figure this out for one of those gender prediction thingys. My question is this, should I go by the conception date predictor, or counting back on the calendar. I am 15W1D today. Sounds silly, but I am just curious. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If your periods are typically regular, I vote that you conceived around the 26th-29th. Those are the usual fertile cycles following the period. The gestation period accounts for the variances.

  33. QUESTION:
    Mums in Y!A : do you find think this is accurate?
    http://holodeck.com/pregnancy/chinese-cal.html

    its a website with a chart that tells you your baby's gender just with your age and month of conceiving..
    it claims to be 99% accurate!
    so far, zeeda & i found it super duper accurate la...
    zeeda even said her previous 2 kids & age of conception etc is accurate according to the following calendar..

    how bout you?
    do give me your feedback..
    thanx

    • ANSWER:
      hi jeffy, even if it had been true for my 2 kids, which in this case are not, I would still not believe it, lol! it would only be coincidence. i don't see any scientific basis how it could be true.

      just trust your ultrasound lah! but what i learned from ultrasound, if the result says it's a girl, it could be wrong because it is possible that the male thingy is hidden from view, lol! whereas if the ultrasound says it's a boy,that is 100 % accurate. Unless it is a tail that the doctor saw hanging, hahaha!

  34. QUESTION:
    I know I should believen't all of this but I was curious as to if any of this was accurate with your baby...
    1st- I did the ring test, it showed I am having a boy
    2nd- I did the needle test, it too showed a boy
    3rd- I did the Chinese Lunar calendar, still showing boy
    4th, I've heard that if your conception date is a even number and your due date it a odd number, then you are having a boy...and that's the case with me. (Oh, I also got pregnant on my ovulation day, which people say sure sign of boy)
    5th, also, I'm craving cheese, hot dogs, onions, pizza, all signs of a boy
    Finally, I look like I have a basketball in my stomach. Another sign it's a boy.

    Do you think it could be a boy?? Have you experienced these many indications of it being one gender or the other?? Have you tried any of these, did they turn out to be accurate?? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Could be a boy but try the ultrasound method it 99% accurate.

  35. QUESTION:
    Was the chinese calendar correct for you?
    For those of you who already know what you are having, was the prediction on the chinese calendar correct? Not the calculator but the calendar. For those who haven't used one or seen one, it is a gender prediction chart, you go by your age at conception and the month of conception, please check it out and let me know if it was correct for the gender of your baby. chinesebirthcalendar.org. It was correct for my pregnancy, but it was a 50/50 shot. Wanting to get prego again and just wandering about its accuracy.

    • ANSWER:
      No it was not... It predicted a girl for me and I'm having a boy =) It is really a fun thing which has only 50/50 shot.....

    • ANSWER:
      I am 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant, due nov. 8 and am very sceptical about predicting the gender of a baby without the aid of an ultrasound technician, but honestly I have tried the lunar predictor and it said i was having a girl and sure enough i will be having another little girl in my house hold. A couple friends of mine are due within weeks of me and all are having girls, and we are all the same age pretty much just months apart. I will tell you its pretty accurate but i would still trust the ultrasound before i start to set up for a boy or girl. Congratulations, Good Luck to you and your wife and your soon to be new baby. Hope this helps some. These sites have some more wife'stales and comments from others who are preparing for a new baby, hope the help.

    Like the one found at http://www.pregnancyweekly.com/pregnancy_information/chinese_calendar.htm?

    Anybody who have used the chinese lunar calendar to predict gender of your baby please tell me if it works for you.Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      The timing when you have a sex is the key factor to choose the gender of your baby. But I don't think that the chinese baby calendar is very useful to pick the gender of your baby.The Alals Baby Gender Planning Center could predict your 'Special Days' accurately.Their web site address is http://alals.com
      You can give a try.
      All the best.

    i was just reading a thing about choosing genders of babies, so i googled it and this thing came up about the Chinese Lunar Birth Calender which is a famous gender-predicting calendar drawn up by a Chinese scientist and then buried in a royal tomb 700 years ago.
    i thought i'd have a go just for fun and every month came up with a boy except for march! then i remembered a couple of years ago i was getting my fortune read while in Hong Kong and asked about children and he said i would have lots of boys! then i started thinking maybe it will be right, so i had a look for some credentials and although there was a small number of people who said it didn't work for them, there was a very large amount that said it did!

    • ANSWER:
      from one web site...

      Chinese Lunar Calendar
      A Myth or an Ancient Truth?

      The Chinese Lunar Calendar to determine your baby's sex was taken from a 700 year old Royal Tomb near Peking, China. The original document is on display at China's Institute of Science. Many thousands of people believe that this calendar is 99% accurate. It's based on the month a baby is conceived not the birth month. The second factor is the mother's age at the time of conception adding 9 months to her age to adjust the calendar.

      To use this calendar:
      Take your age at the time of conception and add 9 months to it.
      Locate that number on the left-hand column of the calendar.
      Locate the month that your baby was conceived across the top of the calendar.
      Follow the two coordinates to where they intersect. Blue for a boy, cream for a girl (no gender branding intended). Remember: 99% accurate

      There is also a link to view the calendar ...

  42. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the chinese Chinese Lunar Calendar aka Chinese birth chart to predict your baby's sex?
    I was just curious how accurate this thing is. Can you guys try it and let me know?
    Here's the website:
    http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Chinese-conception-gender-chart-9.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I can tell you as a Chinese who was born into a well educated family...no high educated Chinese people use that system. It is called superstition.

      Like someone said, it is a 50/50 chance to get it correctly. However if you think about it, a random guess would also have a 50/50 chance to get it right if you have a large enough sample, since there are only two possibilities(99.99% the time anyway).

As i'm sure you know these things are really just a guess if they get it right it's usually just luck but they are fun.

Dietary Choices May Influence Predicting Baby Gender While there are plenty of diverse items that will choose the sex of your future infant, the dietary options you make may have a large impact. Organic sex choice relies upon a few diverse tactics to help boost the odds of having either a son or a girl. Whilst these methods aren't 100% reliable, most couples discover that they do wind up with the gender they preferred. At the end of the day, it can be a 50/50 chance, but there are several items you are able to do to swing the percentage within your favor.

The ingredients that you simply ingest can have an effect on the future gender of your child for a variety of diverse factors. The principal one is that your body's PH needs to be at a specific level for every sort of gender. The sperm that carry the chromosomes that decide sex need a diverse PH for a productive trip towards fertilization.

Let's take a look at the differences in these semen to acquire a much better understanding of why PH levels are so critical. First, the semen accountable for conceiving a boy carry the Y chromosome. They are little, agile and should reach their destination speedily before they expire. They need an alkaline environment to reach the egg properly.

The sperm in charge of conceiving a girl carry the X chromosome. They are much bigger, a lot more sturdy and although they might take longer to reach an ovum, they have a greater potential for living long enough to do so. They thrive in an acidic environment.

Choosing the right ingredients to balance your PH levels appropriately may indeed have an impact on the gender of your infant. Let's take a look at what food items are crucial to include within your diet plan for either sex.

Consuming for a Boy
If you want to have a son, food items that contain potassium and sodium are really crucial. They are non acidic by nature and will boost your alkalinity. The suggested ingredients incorporate bananas, sweet corn, red meats, as well as sausages. It can be important nevertheless which you eat these foods in moderation and contain a healthy and balanced diet for appropriate well being. Getting too much sodium is by no means recommended. Remain inside correct dietary rules at all times.

Consuming for a Girl
So that you can have a girl, you'll want to focus on foods which will enhance acidity within your body. They consist of food items which are rich in magnesium and calcium. Broccoli may be the ideal example of a food which contains high levels of each. Some other ingredients you can eat consist of grapefruit, apples, dairy merchandise, some fish (farm raised to steer clear of high levels of mercury) and leafy green vegetables.

What to Remember
Every thing in small amounts is key as well as proper nutrition. While you'll find other methods of selecting your child's sex naturally, combining them with a appropriate diet will increase your chances for success. Ask your physician if you have any questions about the food items that you simply need to be consuming.

    Transsexuals: What do you think about the authenticity of the "Gender Guesser"?
    http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.html#Analyze

    It's supposed to be able to guess the gender of an author based on their diction. Do you think males and females write a certain way? Do you think this would still apply to transsexuals, with the knowledge of them having opposite-sex brains?

    I've tried the function myself and it seems to be 50/50. Either that, or the random samples of Yahoo Answers text that I've used have their Avatars misleading.

    • ANSWER:
      It's interesting but it is certainly not the best way of finding out someone's gender.

      I'm FTM (female to male) trans and I tested it out with a bit of text when chatting with a friend lying around in my e-mail inbox and I got male for both formal and informal.

  7. QUESTION:
    Are there people who legitimately think Ann Coulter is a man?
    Besides myself, are there people who have a reason to believe she is actually a man?

    There's the prominent Adam's apple, the gender guesser thing that guesses your gender based on your writing which guessed male for all of Coulter's writings, the misogyny, the heterosexism, the bony body, the masculine facial angles, and the fact that a guy named Andrew Coulter got a sex change!

    I believe Coulter is a man.

    • ANSWER:
      I actually thought she was transgendered. No joke.,..

      That is until I heard her derogatory statements towards LGBTQ people.

      If somebody mistakes her for being a "man", and gives her a hard time.. then she deserves it.

  8. QUESTION:
    B&A -- Can gender really be inferred from writing?
    I had an interesting conversation last night, where someone in a chatroom thought I was a man based on how I had written my profile. He (I think XD) said that it was possible to distinguish gender based on writing style, use of words, layout of text, and that little accusation turned into a debate that brought up this site: http://www.hackerfactor.com/GenderGuesser.php The Gender Guesser attempts to guess the gender of the writer based on the style of their writing, whether formal or informal.

    Do you believe it is possible to tell if a writer is male or female from their writing? What traits do you believe would compose "male" writing or "female" writing?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think it can, no. I think the closest you can get is that you can infer the genre from the style of writing, and you can infer the gender of the author from the genre based on what men and women tend to write. Romance? It's probably a woman. Action thriller? It's probably a man.

      I've played with a couple of those tests. If I put my action/adventure stories into them they say I'm a man, and if I put my character based stories into them they say I'm a woman.

Gender Determination

Baby Gender Determination - How To Get The Odds In Your Favor
You are hoping that your dreams will come true and that you will finally have a baby. You also have your heart set on either a baby boy or a baby girl and you would love to be able to determine the gender that you prefer having. Above all, you want to have a healthy and happy baby.

In many instances, couples that are determined to have a specific gender baby seek out the advice and help of a medical professional. This can be an extremely expensive proposition and well beyond the means of the average couple today. These procedures are also relatively new which makes them very expensive costing in the thousands of dollars, and are not always as successful as anticipated in determining the gender of your baby.

There are easier methods to picking and determining the gender of what your baby will be. There are all kinds of natural alternatives and treatments so to speak that you can implement to help you determine the outcome of the babys sex. No need to go to formal clinics or doctors offices as you can try these safe techniques right from the comfort of your home.

In addition, you don't need a degree from Harvard medical school and an understanding of human chromosomes to help you implement these natural gender determination methods. Here are some helpful techniques.

>>Get The Odds In Your Favor Now<<

If you are still not pregnant, this is the best time possible to implement these strategies, and to determine which gender you are trying to conceive. Two very important factors in these methods are at what time of the day you have sexual intercourse and in addition, how you finish off your lovemaking session. As an example, if you are determined to have a baby girl, then you will have to have your intercourse in the afternoon. Your bodies basal temperature is at the right temperature in the afternoon for a girl. You should also make sure that your husband climaxes before you do. The reason for this is that when a man climaxes before a woman does, the flow of sperm is less. The flow of the Y chromosomes is less and you increase the chances of an XX chromosome meeting which in turn translates into a conception of a girl.

I know this is starting to sound complicated but you don't need to know all of the science behind this. All you need to know is what to do and when to do it. Leave the rest up to Mother Nature. If you have your heart set on either a boy or a girl, find out what you can do to help ensure the outcome of your choice.

Gender Of Baby

Easy Three Step Technique Successfully Predicts Gender of Baby
Just last week my friend Karen told me that she had successfully chose the gender of her baby. This surprised me, because Karen is still pregnant! I thought she was joking at first, but she was serious. She had used an easy three-step system to choose the gender of her baby during her pregnancy. I thought it was too good to be true so I decided to start doing some research. It turns out the company that created this system has helped over 10,000 women choose the gender of their baby so far.

Why would you want to do this? See, many pregnant women are put under extreme tension and stress during pregnancy. The variations in hormone and neurotransmitter profiles cause an influx of stress hormones, causing a constant, gnawing tension. This can be worsened by external stresses and pressures, such as having to choose a name for a baby. You see, most families already know what they want to name their child... the only problem is they have to choose a boy name and a girl name because they don't know what gender the baby will be! These types of decisions are almost impossible if you don't know the gender.

Mothers-to-be who have used this system attest to the fact that it took off almost all of the pressure, and made it easy for them and their husband to decide on a name. According to one, Tracy from New Jersey: "Once I knew that I was going to have a girl, all kinds of beautiful, perfect baby girl names just kept moving through my mind. We decided on Kimberly's name after only four days. Picking my baby's gender was almost like a miracle!". It seems Tracy's testimony is not uncommon with this new gender predictor system; maternity forums are overflowing with rave reviews about this product. I really would not be surprised if Oprah was the next person to endorse it. The reason it is such a breakthrough can also be attributed to two other factors: it's 100% natural and has a 95% success rate. I was absolutely flabbergasted that a natural technique like this could work so much of the time. But I guess the proof is in the pudding.

Gender Conception

Choosing Your Baby's Gender Before Conception At Home
When many people think about baby gender selection, what they are really talking about is PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) in a fertility clinic. This is where the doctor or specialist determines the gender of the embryo before implanting it into the mother to be and then implants only the gender that the family desires. This method ensures, with nearly 100% accuracy, that you get the gender that you really want. Many couples who have fertility issues ultimately go with this procedure.

However, the price tag for this procedure can be very high for otherwise fertile couples who are able to get pregnant on their own. We are talking in the thousands of dollars range. I believe this is why I'm often asked if you can try the same thing, on your own, at home. The answer to this question is yes, but you'll need some tools and you'll need to understand exactly what you are tying to accomplish, which I will discuss in the following article.

Which Sperm Chromosome Will Produce The Baby Gender That You Want?: When the fertility specialists is determining which gender to implant, they are searching for the Y sperm chromosomes in order to produce a boy or son and are looking for the X sperm chromosomes in order to produce a girl.

Unfortunately, there is no way to actually examine these little guys the way that the medical professionals can, but you can make an educated guess by using what we do know about the differences between these two sperm chromosomes. For example, the Y or boy sperm is pretty short lived and is quite vulnerable in an environment with a high PH. However, the X or girl chromosomes live for much longer and can thrive in both a high and a low PH.

So, you can use these differences to your advantage even if you are not able to see them by using some tricks of the trade and by then controlling your timing and acidity when you try to conceive.

The Tools That You Will Need For At Home Gender Selection: I recommend three tools. First, you will want to find and get yourself the most accurate and reliable ovulation predictor that you can. I really like the saliva predictors, but whatever is easy for you to use with complete accuracy and reliability will be fine.

Next, you will want PH testing strips. This will tell you if you are alkaline (which makes you more likely to get a boy baby) or acidic (which makes a daughter more likely.) You can get these at health food stores, online, and I've even seen that at some progressive drug stores.

Finally, you will want a resource that lists the PH of most foods that you enjoy and eat regularly as well as douching recipes to make you more alkaline or more acidic, depending on your goal. (Note: vinegar and water are often too weak to do the job.)

What You Are Trying To Accomplish: Now that I've listed the tools, I'm going to tell you what you will be using them for. The ovulation predictor is important because you need a very firm handle on your ovulation date. If you are trying for a girl baby, you want to conceive well before ovulation. You do not want to have intercourse on or after ovulation day. If you are trying for a boy, you want to conceive late after the egg has ripened and become ready for fertilization. Ovulation predictors are the easiest way to know this for sure. Saliva predictors are, in my opinion, the easiest to use for those that want a girl and need to sort of predict the future.

The PH testing strips come into play because they will tell you if you are acidic or alkaline. And then, once you begin to attempt to change your PH with either diet, douching, or both, you will know if you are heading in the right or wrong direction and you will know when you have reached high or low enough levels to accomplish your goal.

The food lists and douching recipes are simply for convenience so that you don't have to research each food that you want to eat. Some foods are decidedly acidic and some are alkaline and some are sort of in between. It's important to know the difference.

Intercourse positions can come into play also, but they are much less important than timing and PH. Still, it doesn't hurt to use them because this is easy, quick, and free to try.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for douche recipes and food pH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / pH testing strips.

Gender Calendar Predictor

Ovulation Predictor Kits: What You Should Know Before Trying to Conceive
If you think you know when you ovulate during your cycle, think again. One of the main reasons healthy, fertile women fail to conceive is due to poor timing of intercourse. Ovulation predictor kits are essential when you are trying to conceive because they help to identify your most fertile days. This will greatly increase your chances of becoming pregnant.

Why do I need an ovulation kit?

Most women have been taught that the average length of a woman's menstrual cycle is 28 days, and that ovulation occurs on day 14. However, cycles can vary greatly, especially for those of us who stop taking birth control pills in order to conceive. You might find that you have much longer or shorter cycles, and ovulation does not necessarily occur halfway through your cycle. Ovulation predictor kits can help you pinpoint when you are about to ovulate, so that you can time intercourse accordingly.

For example, let's say a woman has a 32-day cycle, and she ovulates on day 20 of that cycle. If she assumed that she ovulated on day 14 and had intercourse around that time, she would be off by 6 days. Keeping in mind that sperm can only survive inside a woman's body for a maximum of 5 days, this woman would miss her actual ovulation date every time. By using an ovulation predictor kit, she would have identified that her ovulation occurred later than she had been expecting, and she would be able to plan for intercourse at her most fertile time of her cycle.

How do ovulation predictor kits work?

Just before ovulation, your body produces more luteinizing hormone (LH) in order to help the mature ovum release from its protective follicle. Ovulation predictor kits detect this LH "surge" and indicate that you are in your fertile window. When your ovulation test shows a positive result, it means ovulation is likely to occur within 24 to 36 hours. You are most fertile in the 2-3 days before ovulation as well as on the day you ovulate. Many women choose to test twice a day to be sure they do not miss their LH surge, thus increasing their chances of becoming pregnant.

You have a much better chance of becoming pregnant if you can predict when ovulation is likely to occur. However, an LH surge does not guarantee that you will ovulate, and some women experience multiple LH surges throughout the course of their cycles. The only way to tell if you actually ovulated is to track your basal body temperature and look for an increased thermal shift which indicates that ovulation has occurred. Read more about basal temperature charting here.

Where can I buy ovulation predictor kits?

Ovulation predictor kits are available at most supermarkets and discount stores such as Ralphs, CVS and Wal-Mart, but they only carry the digital and midstream varieties. There are several kinds of ovulation predictor kits, but they all provide the same results. The cheapest ovulation tests are available online, and some websites even offer free shipping.

  11. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar???
    I don't trust it's results, but I need to admit it is fun when you are pregnant and you are courious about the gender of your baby and you play around trying to guess what you are having, what it bothers me about those calendars is that one tells you one sex and another calendar tells you the opossite, Like I said brfore I don't trust its results, but if they are all Chinese Calendar, shouldn't all of them come up with the same result, if they are based on the same criteria to determine the sex of your baby? I was just wondering.

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the same thing and it always told me I was having a boy. I even found one that would predict the gender based on the day of delivery. Hello, by the time you deliver most people have had an ultrasound to determine the gender. But mine always said boy and I have the most beautiful baby girl so you can't always trust them.

    Chinese Lunar calendar gender predictor?
    I was just wondering for who the chinese lunar calender worked and for who it didn't. We are TTC and according to the calendar if i conceive now thru november I'd have a boy. We'd be happy either way but are hoping for a girl. I tried the calendar for everybody i could think of and it was right. What are your experiences?
    Just wondering...
    Here's the calendar:
    http://www.holodeck.com/pregnancy/chinese-cal.html

    Thanx :o )
    Supposedly you have to check it with your chinese age (i think it's your age plus 1 year because they count your age from when you are in your mom's womb?!... something like that)
    So I am born in June 82 and I'm now 27 years old, but would be 28 in chinese age... It still would be a boy for me...

      Well I conceived in July of 2008 and according to the calendar my daughter is supposed to be a boy.

    Chinese Gender Predictor?
    Has anyone found success with this? Just wondering about it's accuracy... it has been correct for all my friends and family, for reals! I am 33 weeks pregnant and want to know the gender... the baby was hiding during my 18 week ultrasound and so we couldn't tell the sex... and my doctor won't order another ultrasound because everything is proceeding as per normal (thank God). So, how many people consulted the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar, and how many of those found correct results? Just curious.... thanks for you help.
    Mine says a girl by age of conception (31 and conceived in October), but it says a boy by lunar age (age at conception plus two). Aaaaargh!

    • ANSWER:
      it was right for my mom and my aunts.

      Hopefuly it does if so im having a girl :]

  19. QUESTION:
    How accurate are the gender calendars/predictors?
    Just out of curiosity.. Were these methods accurate at predicting the sex of your baby or accurate on helping you to conceive the gender of choice?

    • ANSWER:
      Those calendars aren't accurate AT ALL. They said my son was a girl and my daughter was a boy. With each of my children I had very vivid dreams about their gender before I even had an ultrasound. I was right both times. I can also predict my friends and family members babies' genders with 100% accuracy. I have a dream what about what the sex of their baby will be and I have always been right. Never once been wrong. I guess it's a gift I have. I've had quite a few friends get pissed off at me because I didn't tell them they were having what they wanted. They always insist that they "know for a fact" they are having boy/girl and they know I'm wrong. Turns out I'm always right and they end up apologizing. Anyway, I wouldn't trust those gender predictors or calendars to be accurate. I know it's hard to wait to find out but really an ultrasound or amnio is your only way of knowing for sure.

  20. QUESTION:
    baby gender myths that really work?
    I was wanting to know if you have tried any that were actually true. Im 4 months pregnant and we are dying for a girl... we have 2 boys. But anyways the heart beat was a little fast, over 140, and when I did the wedding ring myth it said it was a girl, but then I did the chinese gender predictor calendar thing, but it said I was having a boy. So like I said before I was wanting to know if anybody had any luck with any myths, and if so can you tell me what they were so I can try. Thank you so much!

  23. QUESTION:
    Chinese Sex Gender Birth Predictor...Is it real?
    I was recently surfing the web and I happened to come across a wonderful website called stumbleupon.com. Its amazing check it out. Anyway, as I was stumbling, I came ascrosss an ancient Chinese gender chart. Now on this chaart it (supposedly) tells you (by age of the mother t conception and month of conception) what gender your baby will be. Now I really want to have a boy and by the looks of this chart I only have untill the end of this month to get pregnant or else I will only get pregnant with girls for the rest of the year. I really dont care either way if I have a boy or girl any baby is a gift from God. I just wanted to know If anyone else thinks this chart is true...so check it out and let me know what you think.
    babymed.com/tools/other/chinese_gender_calendar/Chart.aspx
    I also looked at the cahrt to figure out if it was true for my mother (who has 2 kids me and my little brother) and it turned out to be right

    • ANSWER:
      I asked this question about this time last year when I was pregnant and saw the Chinese gender chart. It turned out to be wrong, I was supposed to have a boy.
      Gender has nothing to do with a Chinese chart. Obviously there is no way that the chart could see into everyone's sperm in the world and always be correct. Since there are only two choices for gender, it is always fifty-fifty, no matter what. It's just like any other old wives tales. The gender of a child is decided by which type of sperm fertilizes with the egg. And I hate to say it, but if this thing were true, there wouldn't be any women in China trying to conceive during the months that would produce girls. And with the amount of abortions there are over there, and the amount of women getting pregnant over and over until they have sons instead....the chart isn't something to take seriously.

    How do you use the chinese calendar for predicting the gender of a baby?
    I have gone to several websites to do the chinese predictor but some of vauge directions, like take age and month you conceived and then some say to add 9 months to your age when you concieved and then cross refrence with the month you conceived. Does any one know how you are supposed to do it because i am getting to different answeres.

    • ANSWER:
      how about this......don't (none of the so-called predictors work anyway)...just be happy whatever the baby's sex is and hope that it is healthy

  27. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Lunar gender predictor work?
    This test has worked for me in the past, but I hear from many women that it was wrong for them. Perhaps they are forgetting to put their chinese age (add a year)? If you go to these websites and try; www.babygenderpredictiontest.com, or www.bounty.com/pregnancy/GenderGuesser, or www.select-baby-gender.com/chinese-lunar-calendar.aspx see what you get.
    I personally prefer the www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred as you have to enter your time zone as well. See how you go as I am interested in the results.

    • ANSWER:
      That's awesome! I did it before but I didn't know you had to add a year and all that good stuff. It was right this time. I had a boy. Thanks for putting that on here!

  28. QUESTION:
    Chinese calendar, baby predictor - was it correct for you?
    Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if any of you, whether pregnant or already mothers, ever looked at that Chinese gender prediction chart and if it was correct in predicting the gender of your pregnancies?

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!

      My husband and I are also planning to have a baby soon.
      I also have the same question. I know many people that say it has worked for them and others who say it didn't. But I heard the trick is that you must use your chinese age, which is 2 years old then your age.

      Best Wishes

  29. QUESTION:
    Has anyone else had a feeling your baby is a certain sex and actually been right?
    Ever since i got pregnant I've always thought that it was a girl. Most of the myths and the chinese gender predictor calendar point to a girl lol has anyone else just known what their baby was and been right about it? I dont have my ultrasound to find out if its a boy or girl till April 18th so i was just wondering what other people have experienced. I just have this very strong feeling that im going to have a girl

    • ANSWER:
      my hubby and I always thought we were having a boy and we did. found out at birth. Can't wait to find out with this one I WANT THE GIRL NOW

  30. QUESTION:
    Did this baby gender predictor work for you?
    Check out this website, and tell me if it was accurate for you!
    This Chinese lunar calendar is supposed to predict your baby's gender based on your age at conception, and the month you conceived. It was accurate for me and everyone I have sent it to.

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    • ANSWER:
      yes- with both my pregnancies! With my second I was convinced i was having a boy- but the chinese calendar said GIRL- and i insisted boy- and then at my ultrasound it was confirmed a girl- and what do you know I had another girl. So it was correct for both of my kids. It also was correct with my cousins son- and both of my sisters 3 kids- I've also read/heard that the chinese calendar thing is about 99% accurate!

  31. QUESTION:
    When you were pregnant did you know what you were having before an ultra sound confirmed the gender?
    Everyone is telling me I'm having a boy. I took that chinese calendar baby gender predictor (for fun) and it also says boy. I just kinda get a boy vibe from it, I thought it was a boy before anyone said it was, I know a lot of mothers have no clue and even more of them want the opposite of what they want. I would LOVE a girl (id be ecstatic) but I just kind of think I'm having a son. How many of you could tell what your baby was going to be? Did any of you think you would have a boy and it turned out to be a girl? (Or vice versa?) Please no rude answers, every time I ask a harmless question a few *ss holes leave me messed up rude as hell answers.

    • ANSWER:
      I took fortune baby gender prediction test in my first trimester, and it said i am having a girl, and my 20 wk ultrasound confirmed it! i was very skeptical at first, but now i know it works, couple of my friends used that test too. Good luck!

  32. QUESTION:
    Baby gender predictor?
    Has anyone ever use the chinese lunar calendar where it predicts if your going to have a boy or girl, and did it work for you. If not then give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

    http://www.babygenderprediction.com/chinese-gender-chart.html

    • ANSWER:
      Its just something fun based on myths. Some can be true for you and some not, just depends on the person Iguess. It was right for 2 out of 3 of my kids. If you are over 20 weeks along...if you belly is high its most likely a girl, low its most likely a boy, thats always worked for me and people i know. Good luck!

  33. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Predictor....was it right for you?
    The calendar says if I conceive in the month of April, I will have a girl! Next month would be a boy.

    • ANSWER:
      Yep, right on. I concieved last Feb. and last December I had a fat little girl...

  34. QUESTION:
    Im 4 months pregnant and everyone is telling me is a girl?
    because of the way my belly is. I also did the gender predictor and chinese calendar and they all say girl. Are all these are true should I beleive it

    • ANSWER:
      The only way to know for certain is to have the baby. I only say that because my brother was "a girl" based on ultrasounds and everything until he was born, and whoops, he was a boy and my mom's heart was broken (she already had a boy). Anyway, by the belly thing, do you mean like you are carrying the baby high/low or something? I've heard that but it's not 100%. You can believe them or in about a month an ultrasound should be able to tell you. Either way, congratulations!

  35. QUESTION:
    Old wives tales or not?
    I'm 6 weeks pregnant with #2 and my husband and i are really hoping for a boy this time. So far I've had no symptoms and have felt great. I hear that if you don't have morning sickness then it means you're having a girl ( I also didn't have any morning sickness with my 1st and I had a girl)
    And the chinese gender predictor calendar says I'm having a girl. Do you think this means that our chance of having a boy now is next to none?

    • ANSWER:
      I am 20 weeks pregnant and have had lots of morning sickness, infact I still get a little sick from time to time.......it's a girl by the way.

      Don't believe all those old wives tales and such, each and every pregnancy is different. You could be on #6, with 3 girls and 2 boys and still experiencing different things that you hadnt with the first 5, it really doesnt make a difference. Or even experience the same things as you did with your daughter and it end up being a boy.

      The only way to know for sure what it is, is to wait until it makes its way into the world.

      Congrats on the new baby!!

  36. QUESTION:
    Do you get annoyed with old wives tales?!?
    I do, I mean its 2010 for Heaven's Sake!

    I really want to scream next time I get told "ooh you're carrying low, its a girl!" or "you're craving chocolate?! Must be female!!" (what happens if you crave both sweet AND spicy foods?!?) or "Heartburn? Your baby will have lots of hair!!" (umm no its the pressure of the uterus against the stomach and the softening of the ring of muscle at the top of stomach due to the effects of progesterone allowing stomach acid to escape into the oesophagus, actually . . . .)

    I know you always get people who say "well it worked for me!" but thats because you have a 50% chance of being "right" either way and lets face it, 50% is good odds!

    I find this is worst of all with older women, perhaps because in their day not much was known or explained to them about pregnancy and childbirth. My husband's mother is the worst for these silly myths and she admits that although she had three kids she knows absolutely nothing about the facts of pregnancy. My own mum isn't much better - she really doesn't understand how the mechanics of pregnancy "work", despite having two children herself.

    Does anyone else feel like me - that they want medical facts and figures, not fairytales? Or do some people find old wives' tales comforting, because perhaps they are easier to understand than medical terminology, and they trust their aunties, mums and grannies more than they trust doctors and midwives?

    The only thing that has "worked" so far for me is the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar (boy last time, girl this time), but that doesn't mean I see it as anything other than a bit of fun and a lucky coincidence.

    It baffles me!
    It scares me silly that people beleive them! I can almost excuse it in my mum because of her age and her generation but hubby's mother is much younger and still beleives them!! She says she "doesn't want to know" the medical facts about pregnancy and prefers to rely on myths, old wives tales and "what happened to my friend". I'm sorry but that just scares the crap out of me, I need to be informed lol.

    I guess maybe women in the pre-internet days didn't have the opportunity to educate themselves as much as they do now, I'm not sure . . . but I see no excuse for young women today to beleive these fairytales . . .

    When to try to conceive a boy based on Chinese calendar? Details below...?
    http://www.babyhopes.com/pages.php?pageid=11

    I was born March 1981. Beginning in early 2011 my hubby and I want to try for a boy. Can someone help my calculate my Chinese age at that time (it's 29 right now, 28 in the Gregorian calendar) and when to try for a boy in 2011 according to the Chinese Lunar month?

    (most people make their mistakes when they look at the Chinese Gender Predictor and use it according to their Gregorian Calendar age and month of conception rather than calculating their Chinese Lunar Age and Chinese Lunar month of conception)

  38. QUESTION:
    Babys gender?
    I am expecting my third baby. I have 2 boys and am hoping to have a girl this time. I used an ovulation calendar that tells you how to achieve girls or boys. Has anyone else used this? did it work? Has anyone tried the chinese gender predictor? did that work? I heard it is pretty accurate but was curious.

    • ANSWER:
      The sperm determines the sex of the baby. Sperm that produces boy babies is faster but doesn't live as long as the slower sperm that produces girl babies. The theory is that if you have sex a couple of days before ovulation that you will have a girl baby because all the boy sperm will be dead. Of course, this only works if you ovulate at the same time every month. Otherwise, you could ovulate early and the faster boy sperm would be the one to fertilize your egg.

  39. QUESTION:
    21 Year Olds and the Chinese Conception Calendar!!?
    ...Hello there! Have been inspired by a fellow yahoo answerer to ask this question, maybe for a bit of validity, maybe just to see how accurate this method has proven for some of you ladies out there :]

    I was pregnant aged 21 with my little girl.. I have to admit, I was referred to checking the chinese gender calendar for a bit of fun before I knew what I was having, and it proved right in my case. I was REALLY surprised though that this calendar depicted that nearly ALL women aged 21 when they fell pregnant, would have a little girl unless they conceived in January. Ha!? How can this be possible I hear you say?!

    ...I would love to see how many of you were pregnant at 21 and proven right/ wrong by this calendar. Also, feel free to tell me your experiences with this "predictor", regardless of your age!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this calender is only just for fun, but I believe it to be very accurate. When I was 19 it said I'd have a boy and that is what happen. The second time I was 25 and it said that I was having a girl and that is what I got. Every time someone I know gets preggers, I refer to it and every single time with out fail it is correct. It may just be a fluke, I don't know. I'm sure that its not right for everybody though.

  40. QUESTION:
    Are baby gender predictors accurate?
    I've heard that chinese calendars are accurate but I've used them to figure out babies of all of my friends and it was wrong a couple of times; I also tried the one at www.justparents.co.uk and I'm not sure there either...

    Doesn't the father's chromosome pretty much decide the gender anyway?

    • ANSWER:
      no. its just entertaining.

  41. QUESTION:
    I'm nine weeks pregnant and so curious to know if the chinese calendar really works! just for fun!?
    The chinese gender predictor says i'm having a girl! My last period was in october 19 but I conceived in november and my age in conception was 19. I read what other woman experienced and one said, " if you have your LMP and the the month of conception in two different months then you should use the month where you had your LMP as the the month you conceived! so in that case it would be a boy! so now i'm confused! but does anyone have any experiences they like to share, or if the chart really worked for them or not.
    By the way i'm happy with what ever comes.

    just for fun!!!

  44. QUESTION:
    What do you think you are having...boy or girl?
    I am a victim of old-wives tales!!! I love them! So, when I take gender-predictor quizzes and look at old-wives tales, it says I will be having a girl. The Chinese Birth Calendar says I will be having a boy. I will be happy either way, but I just enjoy the excitement of the guessing game...even though it's a 50/50 shot!!
    What do you think you are having?
    For those who know already, what did you think versus what you will be having or had?
    I find out on 7/14/08 and I am so thrilled (I'm currently 17 wks, 3 days)!!!
    Oh, I forgot to say what I think I am having...a girl!! Even w/out the old-wives tales, I still feel that way! We'll see! Again, I will be just as happy with a boy! I am just too thrilled to be having a baby!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh goodness...I was convinced I was having a girl!! According to the pencil test and ring test I should be having a girl, but according to the ultrasound where I saw a little pee pee and two testicals...IT'S A BOY! I was a little bummed at first (but I didn't let anyone know because) because I had my heart set on a little girl, etc. but now I can't wait for my little man to get here and I feel silly for ever having gotten upset over something like that!

Can You Really Choose Your Baby's Gender?
Gender selection of children is a controversial topic, particularly in terms of genetic therapy and the ethics of picking the sex of your child. While there certainly have been advances in the field of genetics, there are actually some natural and completely ethical things that you can do that will increase the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child. While no method is 100% accurate, if you are determined to have a boy or a girl, there are a few things that can be done to significantly increase your chances of conceiving the gender of your choice. Remember, the most important thing is to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do want to try to pick the gender of your child, it is possible. Here's what you need to know.

Differences in Sperm

The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, while the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y sperm are faster, smaller, more agile but they do not last as long as the "girl" sperm. The X sperm are bigger and move quite slowly. In addition to their overall speed, they have different preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does better in an acidic environment while the Y sperm prefer an alkaline environment.

How These Differences Affect Conception

Now that we have established the differences between the sperm that carry different chromosomes, it is important to understand how these differences can be used for natural gender selection. Once you have this information, you can begin trying to conceive a child that will be a specific gender.

If you want to have a boy, the timing is crucial. Since these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your intercourse as closely to ovulation as possible. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg before the X sperm do, increasing the chances that you will have a boy.

If you want to have a girl, you need to give the X sperm plenty of time to reach the egg. Since they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a few days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X sperm behind. They will have the time needed to travel up through the cervix to reach the egg and fertilize it.

    Chinese calendar for gender of the baby?
    Hi

    Can any one please send me the link of the real chinese calendar?

    Thanks in Advance

    • ANSWER:
      www.parents.com from what I hear is the most commonly used. As for accuracy, well that's another thing. My first 2 were correct, however my 3rd is wrong according to my u/s. Than again, my 3rd is still swimming in my belly. Perhaps the Chinese calendar will be correct and my ultrasound is wrong?

      Either way, speaking to family and friends it does seem like the calendar is correct more time than it is wrong.

      Good luck to you!

      The timing when you have a sex is the key factor to choose the gender of your baby.

      Try using fortune baby gender selection method. I used it when I was planning my second baby, and it was right for me. They tell you when you need to conceive in order to have a boy or a girl.

  40. QUESTION:
    Has anyone else used the Chinese gender calendar to find out the sex of their baby?
    I know you cant tell until your ultra sound. I just thought I would ask mothers or fathers out there if they used this and How accurate it was. I never heard of this until I read someones question on here. And was just curious I know for it says 99 and another says its 90% accurate. I would believe more like 50% But I was just curious Of how many people There gender was correct if they used this??? Mine says girl, I kinda want a girl :) But I know its 50/50.
    Just curious! My ultra sound is in 2 1/2 weeks to find out!
    so far sounds like the opposite of what the calendar says :(
    Well the plain calendar says girl. The one with the link Sonya gave me says boy for the date i think i conceived on but if i go by last menstrual period it says girl! Ah well it passes the time to guess :)
    I used this one http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    and the one you stated the abovefloor something like that.
    I used this one http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    and the one you stated the abovefloor something like that.

    • ANSWER:
      The gender chart was accurate for me. I found a website where you actually put in your birth date to calculate the age and month, which was more accurate. The regular chart showed me as having a boy, but the more specific formula showed me as having a girl. I did indeed have a girl.

      The Chinese gender chart uses lunar ages and lunar months. So even though I conceived my first child at 22, my lunar age was 23. So I didn't initially know that I was looking at the wrong age.

      http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/CAge2.htm is the website I used. I'd be interested to see if the other posters have a different result using this.

      Like everything it has a 50/50 shot at getting right.

      My 1st - right
      My 2nd - wrong

  42. QUESTION:
    I was wondering.. has anyone done the chinese lunar calendar to detect the gender of your baby.?
    How accurate was it.. so did you have what it predicted you to have

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for both of my children. a girl now 2 and a boy 6 1/2 weeks

      try this one too...it was right as well http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html

  43. QUESTION:
    How do you read the Chinese Gender Calendar?
    Some Chinese Calendars say, start with your current age, and month at conception, and some say age when the baby is born, and conception? Which is true? That's what confuses me when I want to read the calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  44. QUESTION:
    i would like to view chinese calendar to figure out future gender of a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      You can find them on the internet. I wouldn't hold much stock in them though. I looked just for grins and giggles. Told me I would have a girl and my friend would have a boy. Guess it just got confused, hehe.

  45. QUESTION:
    Were old wives tales right for predicting your baby's gender?
    I have taken several old wives tale quizzes toward predicting my baby's gender. Also checked the Chinese Calendar. They all point the same way, but of course I know they aren't grounded in science.

    What has been your experience with these? Were they right or not right in predicting your baby's gender?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, so far, the chinese calender and most of the old wives tales have pointed towards a girl for me, I have had a feeling it was a girl since I was about 8 weeks along! even when people said, oh i think you are having a boy, I felt that it wasnt quite right for some reason lol. I had a scan the other day, which looked very girly, I even posted pictures onto www.in-gender.co.uk who all say its a girl (there are qualified sonographers on that site). I have a gender scan on sunday to find out for sure what Im having. Cant wait!!

      Congratulatons, I wish you the best of luck xxxxxxx

      EDIT - found out today that the old wives tales are right, Im having a baby girl!!!! :D

Gender Charts

Growth Chart - Find Out How Well Your Child Is Growing.
Doctors will use a growth chart to track a child's growth and monitor how he or she is growing in relationship to other children. While every child is different, and has unique physical characteristics, major differences could be indicative of poor health. Evaluating a growth chart is usually part of a regular check up.

A different growth chart must be used when examining girls instead of boys, since the rates and patterns of growth between genders are very different.

There are two sets of charts that are used throughout a youth's life; first a growth chart started from infancy until 36 months, then another growth chart is used from 2 years to 20 years of age. The growth chart shows the heights and weights of many different children across the country, according to age. It is suggested to go by a doctor's specific growth measurement, as home measurements taken are frequently wrong and can lead to faulty conclusions.
For children of ages 0-36 months, a growth chart usually includes his or her height, weight and the head circumference. These measurements are then considered according to the child's age and the national average. For children age 2 to 20, the child's height and weight are measured. Body mass index (BMI) is also taken in older children as a way of measuring levels of body fat.

Just because a child is gaining weight does not necessarily mean there is a dangerous issue. For instance during puberty a child's body fat increases. That's why it's best for a doctor to study a growth chart. He or she is better qualified to determine if there is a serious problem that needs attention. Your child's doctor will regularly refer to the growth chart to assess your child's physical development.

Although a growth chart is a valuable tool in monitoring a child's health, neither doctors nor parents should be too quick to label a reading (that is, a measurement taken that's different from the national standard) as a definite problem. The data should be considered a trend to monitor, and relative to other physical symptoms and analysis.

Some companies or clinics offer a free growth chart along with a information sheet listing their services, while some websites include a virtual growth card that is viewable online. While these charts might be good to consult for educational purposes they are not a replacement for a doctor's physical check up, nor can they replace a professional analysis of a growth chart.

When your child's health is the issue always consult a doctor when in doubt and never go by just words on a screen or in a brochure. Although a growth chart is a good indicator of your child's progress it is only a tool.

  2. QUESTION:
    Gender charts - who has the most accurate one?
    I am only looking for fun, so relax everyone, this is just a light-hearted question. I am not basing my pregnancy efforts on a chinese gender chart, but hey - if i can go for a girl this time around, maybe extra efforts will be applied in certain weeks according to the chart! haha, i'll see how it goes.
    but i noticed while looking for chinese gender charts, that there are quite a few, and they are conflicting. have some of you ladies (or dads who post) used the same one and had accurate results?

    • ANSWER:
      There are no guarantees but here are some things you can try.

      The boy diet / girl diet theory holds that altering your body's pH through diet may influence the polarity of the egg (if it has one), or make the vaginal environment more or less hospitable to sperm.

      Diet high in potassium and sodium for a boy.
      Diet high in calcium and magnesium for a girl.

      Here is a website all about gender selection: http://www.in-gender.com/Gender-Selectio...

      Some people say to take: Lydia Pinkham's Herbal Compound .

      According to the Shettles method:
      Shettles says in order to increase the chances of having a girl, you should have sex everyday from the end of your period up to 2 1/2 to 3 days before ovulation. After this point, do not have unprotected sex until several days past ovulation. Intercourse further away from ovulation favors the larger slower moving X (girl) sperm. The weaker Y (boy) sperm will die more quickly in the more acidic preovulatory vaginal / cervical secretions and by the time of ovulation there will be a much larger concentration of X (girl) sperm available to fertilize the egg.

      Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a girl, shallow penetration from your partner, preferably with the missionary position, will deposit the sperm closer to the entrance to the vagina. This area is more acidic than closer to the cervix and acidity will work against the weaker "boy" sperm leaving more "girl" sperm available to fertilize your egg.

      When trying to conceive a girl, Shettles recommends that you don't orgasm during sex as the body produces substances after orgasm that makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, which favors the "boy" sperm. The contractions which accompany an orgasm help move the sperm up and into the cervix, giving the "boy" sperm an extra chance at being available when your egg is available for fertilization.

  3. QUESTION:
    How many people had accurate gender prediction using the chinese gender charts?

    I know it's just as good as an old wives tale, I was just wondering how many people really did get accurate results.

    • ANSWER:
      I actually used the chart to try and concieve a boy and guess what I have a beautiful little baby boy (11weeks old!!)
      I decided to do it because I'd previously checked the chart to see whether it had predicted right for my Mum in regards to my brothers and I (it did) and with me and my daughters (it did). I'd also as, a joke checked it to see what my cousin would have and it predicted right for her as well.

      I dont know why but it seems to work for my family.
      I know it's all 50/50 but I think it's cool that like magic it predicts correctly for me.

  4. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the chinese gender charts?
    i looked and they were right with our first son. i duno if it would work again?
    why do they say they are 90% accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they don't work.
      Not only does personal experience tell me this (said girl, i had a boy) but so does common sence.

      It goes by age at conception and due date. So, from that, one is to assume that every single person who was 25 at the time of conception and their due date was January that all of them are going to be girls?

      Go to any parenting board and you'll find several women of the same age that also share the same due date or at least the same month- some will have had girls- some will have had boys. It's a 50/50 chance.

  5. QUESTION:
    Were any of the "Gender Prediction' quizzes wives tales or Chinese charts right for you?
    According to the "Chinese Gender prediction chart" It was having a boy.
    According to the Wedding ring test, I was having a boy, according to how what I was craving and how I was carrying, I was too having a boy.
    Well I am actually having a girl...The only thing that was right for me was the Inteligender Pee in the cup test thing...Were any right for you?

    • ANSWER:
      Everything said I was having a boy. I had a girl.

  6. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Charts, Did they work for you?
    I'm 20, born May 29th 1987, but apparently to use these things you add a year to get your lunar age which would make me 21. If I type in my real age it says we're having a boy, if I type in my lunar age it says we're having a girl. We conceived in July of this year (2007) does anyone know how to figure this out? Did the charts work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      I conceived in july too, and they said i was having girls. Thru testing the doctor did conclude it was twin girls. So i guess its a 50-50 thing.

  16. QUESTION:
    According to all the Chinese Charts and Gender Charts, They say Im having a boy, and I am a bit bummed!?
    All I really want is a Healthy Baby! But growing up with 6 boys and me being the only girl, I have always wanted some Girl power in my family!!
    According to the Charts I am having a boy and according to all the wives tails, I am also having a boy. I will be happy with either but I still would like a Little girl...Are those test that Reliable.

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't rely on gender charts to tell the gender. I was supposed to have a boy by gender chart. I have a happy healthy toddler girl. The only reliable test is an ultrasound. Only time will tell. You'll get mixed answers though on the accuracy. All in all it's 50/50. It's always fun to guess though until you know.

  20. QUESTION:
    Chinese gender prediction charts....did they work for you?
    The chinese gender charts say they have anywhere from 75-90% accuracy. But it seems like nobody I know gets the right answer on them. Has anyone else done these charts and how accurate are they for you?

    Also, on some charts my answers are different because it asks for the mother's age at conception in CHINESE years, and some just ask for the regular age. The same goes for the conception month. What gives?!?

    In my first pregnancy, all the charts said boy, and it was a girl. This time, they all say boy, and I'm darn sure it's another girl (based on the timing...I'll find out for sure in a couple of weeks).

    Thoughts anyone? :)

      The chart says boy and Im having a boy

    I am not far gone enough to try any of those old wives tales with te wedding rings etc so does anyone know of any other charts or anything (just for fun i know) that may help me determine the gender?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese gender chart was right for my daughter and i was sure i was going to have another girl this time as it said girl but its most definantly a boy!

      Once you have had your 12 week scan have a browse online for the nub theory, know a lot more people who have been predicted correct using that theory but you do need a 12 week scan pic

  29. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender chart work for you?
    I am just wondering if the chinese gender chart was right for anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      It worked for me.
      The funny part is that every test, quiz and prediction (including ultrasounds) said I was having a boy. Everyone that had a comment also said I was having a boy, except for one old Chinese woman. I told her I was having a boy (I was about 7 months along and they were positive it was a boy) and she said "no, no you aren't, you will have a little girl" and I just smiled and didn't think anything of it. At least, not until my doctor pulled out my DAUGHTER and said "Oh! Surprise! It's a girl!"

  30. QUESTION:
    are the birth charts gender predictor any accurate?

    My grandmother was half chinese and she always said it goes my the age of the mom at the time of birth if its a even # its a girl if its odd its a boy or vice versa lol dont remenber but all these online charts are saying somthing else and I really want a little girl

    • ANSWER:
      I tried the Chinese birth chart and it has gotten it right for both my pregnancies. However, in my opinion, their accuracy is only 50% and my results are a complete fluke! There is no accurate way to tell the gender of your baby until it is born as even ultrasounds can be read incorrectly!

      Good luck!

  31. QUESTION:
    mums have you had any luck with the chinese gender chart?
    I have been looking at the chinese gender chart and this time it tells me i am having a boy. I was just wondering if any body else has tried it out and did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me....it said boy and that's what I had.

      But..... for fun I tried it on a coworker and it told her boy, and her ultrasound pointed more towards girl.... guess we'll have to wait until September to find out for sure.

      Hey.... it's a 50/50 shot at being right...haha!!

      Good luck and blessings on the pregnancy!!

  32. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know if the origional Chinese gender chart went below the age of 18?
    ...or any other charts that do?

    • ANSWER:
      You don't need the chart. Another chinese method is to take the age when you got pregnant and add it to the number of the month you got pregnant in. If the answer was a even number you're having a boy and if it's an odd number you're having a girl. Example 17 years old at conception and conception took place in May(5) = 22 , even number boy. Or for me I was 22 and got pregnant in September (9) = 31, I had a girl

      I did this because I wanted to know the sex at 2months. It worked! I also used it for 5 other couples in the past year, I was right every time.

  33. QUESTION:
    Which one do you think seems to be more accurate the Intelligender tests or chinese gender chart?
    I know they are both just for fun but have they actually worked for any of you? The chinese gender chart says im having a girl but the intelligender says its a boy. I still just have a feeling its a girl though!:)
    I did the chinese gender chart wrong the 1st time. It says ill be having a baby...Maybe just maybe its a boy. I hope so:)

      Chinese gender chart told me I was having a girl and sure enough, I'm buying pink!!

  36. QUESTION:
    Does anyone Truly believe the chinese gender prediction charts are correct ?!?
    Im wondering how true they can be, it throws me off a little because i tried for my first born and it was right. Boy, but a few people told me it was wrong, is it just a 50/50 chance, or are these charts actually proven right ??

    • ANSWER:
      They are completely BS. It is indeed just a 50/50 chance. But they don't even get the gender ratio right...

  37. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  38. QUESTION:
    do u believe that the chinese gender chart is right?
    back in old times, they believed that the chinese gender chart was spot on with predicting the gender you were having, according to your age and what month you conceived... i've had a play around with it, and it said i was having a boy!!! and i had a boy... this time it says im having a girl... but i still think im having another boy... i just think its a fun thing to do... has it always been right for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It was wrong for me, but then again I found two different charts on the internet that both gave me a different answer for the same month of conception and the same age.

      http://babymed.com/Tools/Other/Chinese_Gender_Calendar/Default.aspx
      http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx?MsdVisit=1

      The first said I was having a boy, the second said girl.

  39. QUESTION:
    Was the Chinese gender chart right for you?
    I'm aware that any gender guessing is always 50% accurate. This is just for fun.

    • ANSWER:
      It says I'm meant to be having a girl! Butttt.. I haven't found out yet and will find out on july 21st. I WISH the date would come sooner. I am dying to know whether my baby is healthy (firstly) and what gender my baby is :)

  40. QUESTION:
    who has used chinese gender charts? and who did it correctly?
    I know it is just for fun, but I am wondering how many people did this and used their lunar age? I never knew about lunar age until last week. If you were born on or before February 20, you use your real age, and if you were born after the 20th you add a year to your age. I know a lot of people say it was wrong (and it is supposedly only 90% accurate) but the majority of people would have birthdays after Feb 20, so I started to wonder how many people actually used the charts correctly? Just wondering? It says I am having a boy, and I am not about to run out and buy everything in blue, lol. But just curious as to how many people who got a wrong answer actually did it right?

    • ANSWER:
      Well if you use the ones online it goes by your age and then conception month. Me and two of my friends were right and 1 of them was wrong.

  41. QUESTION:
    What is your opinion on the chinese gender charts?
    My boss told me to do this test, it was accurate for her and for other girls she knows:

    http://www.storknet.com/cubbies/pregnancy/chinesegenderchart.htm

    And it says I'm having a girl. I was 24 at the time of conception and the day we think it happened is March 20th.

    But, I found this chart and it says I'm having a boy:

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    Have any of these charts ever been accurate for any of you? This is just for fun, I'm sure these really aren't accurate? (I guess you can just say I'm impatient, haha)

    • ANSWER:
      i agree with the first girl. however and i know you probably dont wanna hear anymore tricks. but the needle trick works. my mother did it, my sisters did it, my sister in law did it, and my friends havve all done it. you loop a string through a needle and hold the needle over your stomach if your expecting and hold it over your wrist if your not. you do it as many times as you want kids. if it swings in a circle its a girl and if it swings side to side its a boy. my mother did it. it went circle,side,circle.. and she had my sister, my brothe, me,,, my friend did it. it went side, circle. she had a miscarriage at 5 months. that was supposed to be a boy. she's pregnant again and its a girl. its been accurate with everyone i know.

  42. QUESTION:
    How to ensure the gender of a baby before getting pregnant?
    I don't understand the chinese gender chart. The difference between Lunar age and Lunar month and the real solar age and Real solar month.

    Could some one please help me? I am desperate for a girl.
    I will love a boy if I do happen to have an other one just the same, But I just want some one to explain the chinese calender to me along with the details of how to convert between the lunar month and lunar age to the actual solar month and solar age..
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      You cannot *ensure* the gender of your baby. You may be able to tip the scales in favor of the gender you want, but any method that doesn't involve sperm being sorted by X and Y chromosomes in a lab is far from foolproof. Try googling the Shettles method for info on the timing of sex to optimize the chances of conceiving a girl (there's more to the Shettles method than just timing... your search should fill you in on some of the other details as well.)

      mine came up girl with my first, i had a boy..
      was right on second.. and hopeing its wrong on the third..

      i think its just 50/50 same as flipping a coin.

  44. QUESTION:
    Has anyone heard of a way to determine the gender of your baby during pregnancy?
    My question is just that simple. Has anyone heard of a way to determine the gender of your baby during pregnancy. I know about the chinese gender chart but I am looking more for something else that might have worked for you.
    It appears no one can have any fun with this. Feel free to pull the corn from your rectum at any given time.

    • ANSWER:
      old wives tale, if the line on your stomach goes above your navel, its a boy. if it stays below, its a girl...

      not sure how true it is, but mine goes above and im having a boy

  45. QUESTION:
    Intelligender GPT -- Who's used it? Were the results accurate? And how about dreams & Chinese gender charts?
    I know I can't completely count on any of the above. . . I'm just REALLY curious and I guess I must admit a little impatient, too, when it comes to this! My ultrasound should be about a month away so I should (hopefully) have the best confirmation there -- aside from the actual birth, of course!
    So far, in this order, the Chinese birth charts say "boy", I had a dream that the Intelligender test I had yet to take would indicate it was a boy, and now the Intelligender test I really DID just take says "Boy!" as well! Hmmmm. . .

    Also, one of my very first clues that I was pregnant was a dream where I got a positive result on a pregnancy test I took!

    Interesting, huh?

    By the way, I'm 15 weeks and due Nov. 11!

    • ANSWER:
      Believe it or not, my intuition was accurate! If you have a gut feeling, trust it!

      check out these two sites. the first one is the chinese gender chart & the second are "symptoms" associated with either sex. both were pretty dead on for me.

How To Conceive A Girl - Control Your Baby's Gender
Everywhere I look these days, someone is seeking information on how to conceive a girl and whether it is possible to naturally select the gender of their unborn child. I have recently given birth to a beautiful little baby girl (which I chose) and have put in all the hard work in for you. It is very possible to choose the sex of your child, a process with a high success rate.

A couple of years subsequent to the birth of my son and first child Ashley, my husband and I discussed what can be a sensitive topic for some, and found that we held a neutral opinion that ideally, we would prefer to have a girl for our next.

My partner and I were not in the same position as some of the Hollywood types I had read about, not being able to afford the huge sums of money that are required to visit a medical professional. Furthermore, I did not wish to undergo the invasive procures that are involved in doing it this way.

I just want to give you a brief example of what those expensive fertility clinics that specialise in gender selection will do with your money. This is what was afforded to me upon initial consultation:

1. A team of doctors with extract several eggs from within you and then obtain sperm from the father;

2. They will then take the father's sperm and will fertilise the egg in a laboratory;

3. After a few days, several embryos are developed and the specialists with then examine the genetic makeup of the embryos and proceed with screening the cells for diseases and your desired gender;

4. If there are any healthy female embryos, they will then be taken and in yet another medical procedure, will be inserted into the mother;

5. Any additional healthy embryos will be taken and frozen (at an additional cost) in case you should choose to repeat the procedure in the future. If the impregnation fails, the procedure will need to be repeated.

This concept was not very appealing me especially because I always wanted to do it 100% naturally and safely, which is exactly what I did. Then I discovered a detailed guide online, covering all aspects for those who need to know how to conceive a girl.

Being highly knowledgeable on the topic now (when I started researching I knew absolutely nothing) there are a number of fallacies or "urban legends" that I identified, though I must admit, I wasted time employing into my plan when I first started out.

So please be warned, there are a multitude of articles and websites that I discovered out there on the internet that advocate, what I found to be absolute fallacies and obviously are "urban legends".

Please be aware that although this method of gender selection is completely natural and non-invasive, it does involve a number of complex variables, with specifics that must be closely followed in order to conceive a baby girl. This is not something that you can learn through trial and error... Good luck!

  1. QUESTION:
    The Ovulation Calendar Says I Should Be Ovulating On These Days, Why Doesn't It Show?
    I took an ovulation test which ended up telling me I am not ovulating but on my ovulation calendar said that I would be ovulating on these days. What's wrong?

    http://www.ovulation-calendar.net/ovulationCalendar.php?MenstrualPeriodMonth=5&MenstrualPeriodDay=16&MenstrualPeriodYear=2011&menstrualCycle=25&lutealPhase=12&gender=0&months=2

    • ANSWER:
      The ovulation calendar does not say you should be ovulating for days. It gives you ONE day of ovulation, and several days of "fertile" days beforehand - these are the days that having sex will deposit sperm (which can survive for up to 5 days) that will be there waiting for the egg to finally drop on ovulation day, which is the last day of your fertile days.

      Your calendar says ovulation day will be May 29.

      A positive ovulation test does not mean that you are ovulating NOW. It means you should expect ovulation 12-48 hours from the positive. If your calendar is correct and you will ovulate on May 29, you should expect the OPK to turn positive today, tomorrow, or the next day.

      Remember that calendars are not necessarily accurate. Your ovaries cannot read them. They are computer formulas based on averages of multiple women across who knows what demographic. The OPK measures the hormones in your own body, and will determine YOUR ovulation, so it will be much more accurate.

      Good luck!

  5. QUESTION:
    Is the UK hushing in the Anti-Christ or Will the UK be the launch pad of the Anti-Christ?
    Jacqui Smith unveils the UK's new identity card - with no sign of Britain (Point1)
    The UK's first identity card for 60 years has been unveiled by Jacqui Smith - with no sign of the union flag or mention of the word Britain(.Point2)

    Instead, the credit card-sized plastic cards carried a picture of a bull - (Bull witha horn)in common with other European Union identity cards - as well as five stars drawn from the stars on the official flag of the EU.

    The card is to be initially issued to people outside the EU renewing their permission to stay in the UK as students or on the basis of marriage.( Using the weakest link in the society to manipulate example: Judas Escariot)

    Between 50,000 and 60,000 cards, which will initially cost £30 each, will be issued by the end of next March and ministers predict one million a year will be handed out from 2010.(2010 research the Maya calendar)

    Officials said the image of a bull represented the Greek myth in which Zeus turns himself into a bull and abducts Europa, a beautiful princess. (Point4)

    Campaigners said it was bizarre that there were not more outward symbols of Britishness on the card, given that it will be used as a proof of residence.

    Lorraine Mulally, spokesman for campaigners Open Europe, said: "The use of EU symbols, instead of national ones, is part of a wider attempt to promote the idea of a common European citizenship, which EU federalists have been pushing for some time.( A new world order)

    "The Government seems happy to buy into this." How about the people?

    Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party, added: "A British ID card without a British flag on it?

    Instead we have the symbol of Europa, and we know what Zeus did to her.

    Do we need or want ID cards in the first place? Is the UK really free? People in a free country don't require them.

    Does Miss Smith, the former Home Secretary acting out the plot of the Devil? Bribe Judas and get out of the picture

    She pointed out that the pink and blue card displayed the Government's coat of arms on the front.

    On the reverse, the four national flowers or plants of the countries that make up the United Kingdom are etched into the plastic - the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock

    This is not science fiction.....

    The cards contain the individual's name, their photograph, the card's expiry date and details of how long they can stay in the country.

    Other information includes people's date and place of birth, their gender, nationality, and whether they are entitled to benefits.

    Biometric data, including copies of all of the person's fingerprints, will be stored on a special security chip.

    Miss Smith admitted that it would be impossible to include fingerprints of some people on the card. But she denied that taking 10 prints from the elderly or those with missing fingers would be a problem.

    She said: "It is so exceptional that it will not undermine the fundamental nature of the scheme. In the very few cases of people who cannot give a fingerprint, we are looking at mechanisms to deal with those categories."

    The card will start to be issued on November 25 to foreign nationals at offices in Croydon, Glasgow, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff.

    From next year anyone working in the restricted areas in Britain's airports would need to have an ID card and it will be made generally available to British citizens from 2011.

    Those cards, which will be voluntary,(?) may look different and display different information but they will enable the holder to travel without a passport around the EU.

    Miss Smith said the cards would protect against identity fraud, illegal working, and help people prove their identity easily.

    She said: "Many people want securely and quickly to be able to prove their identity and want to be able to check people are who they say they are."

    The Conservatives reaffirmed the party's commitment to scrapping ID cards if they win the next election, likely in 2010.

    The party pointed out that ID cards will not be required by foreigners who are here for less than three months.

    Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve said: "ID cards are an expensive white elephant that risk making us less - not more safe. It is high time the Government scrapped this ill-fated project.

      Is this the credit card antichrist, the cellphone antichrist or the barcode antichrist? Enough with the nonsense already!

Gender Calendar Boy Or Girl

How to Have a Boy or Girl --Sexual Positions For Gender Selection
If you want to try to increase the chances of having a boy or a girl, sometimes it all comes down to how you do it literally. While there is no 100% method that will guarantee that you can select the gender of your child, there are specific positions that you can try that will increase the likelihood of selecting the gender.

This works for a variety of different reasons, but is based in the fact that the two kinds of chromosomes that are responsible for gender selection are carried by sperm that are very different. The Y chromosome is responsible for conceiving a boy. The sperm that carry this chromosome are small, quick and able to cover the distance to the egg very rapidly. The downside is they don't live very long and if they have to swim too far, they won't be able to complete their journey successfully. The X chromosome sperm are responsible for conceiving a girl.

These sperm are much larger, and move quite a bit slower. However, they live a lot longer and have more endurance when it comes to reaching the egg. Here's what you need to know when it comes to picking positions to pick gender.

How to Have a Boy

Because the Y sperm need a little extra help in reaching their destination before they expire, positions that allow deep penetration are essential. The goal is to have the man orgasm as closely as possible to the neck of the cervix. This reduces the amount of time that the sperm will need to spend getting to the egg. Positions that allow for this to occur include woman dominant, or woman on top as well as its other variation, commonly called Reverse Cowgirl. In these positions, the woman is astride the man and can control how deeply he penetrates her. At the moment of orgasm, the woman should allow the man inside as deeply as possible. There are a few other positions as well, but the important thing to remember is that the deeper the penetration at the moment of orgasm, the more likely you are to have a boy.

How to Have a Girl

If you would prefer to have a girl, the proper positions involve much shallower penetration. The X sperm are much more durable and need a little more time to reach the egg, allowing the Y sperm to die off before they get there. This means that the man should orgasm as far away from the neck of the cervix as possible.

Positions for shallow penetration include missionary, spooning and the lotus position where the couple wrap their legs around each other while sitting. The positions do not allow for deep penetration and the desired result of increasing the likelihood of having a girl can be achieved.

Don't Forget There is one more thing to remember when choosing a position for choosing gender. If you do want to have a boy, it is important that the woman orgasm before the man. This changes the PH near the cervix, making it more hospitable to the Y sperm. The opposite is true if you want to have a girl.

  7. QUESTION:
    do you think i am having a boy or girl?
    I am 13 and a half weeks pregnant. My Boyfriend and I are trying to guess what we think I am having ( just for fun were not rely on what our guess say). Any how we did the ring test over the belly and when I do it I always get girl except once I got boy. My boyfriend has only done it on my two times but both times got Boy. I had a lot less morning sickness this pregnancy then I did with my last (last time its was a boy) so the midwife guessed girl based on that. If we do the gender predication calendar it comes up boy ( I was 23 when I conceived and a conceived in Sept) unless we use my Chinese year (which I calculated to be 25) and the lunar month witch I calculated to be either the 7th or 8th lunar month depending on what day I conceived. I f I conceived on Sept 17th or before it says girl, if I conceived on Sept 18th or after it says boy. Problem is I don’t know for sure what day I conceived. My periods before were always irregular. But I had got on birth control in June of 09. So because I was on birth control I was a regular 28 cycle (I think) I would always start on the third day of my placebo pill and my periods were about 5 or 6 days long. My last “period” was Sept 9th and was completely normal. I had a ultra sound right after I discover I was pregnant in Oct and I was 5 weeks along at that time. I am now 13 weeks and 2 days. My due date is June 16th. Does anyone have any idea on when I conceived. Also just for fun what do you think I am having. A month ago baby’s heart beat was 160. Last night it was 150. (my sons heart beat was always 150).

      According to www.pregnology.com, which is kind of a neat website, your conception date was Wednesday, September 23.

    • ANSWER:
      go to parents.com the Chinese calender is there i would look it up for you but i would need more information

  18. QUESTION:
    What do you think you are having...boy or girl?
    I am a victim of old-wives tales!!! I love them! So, when I take gender-predictor quizzes and look at old-wives tales, it says I will be having a girl. The Chinese Birth Calendar says I will be having a boy. I will be happy either way, but I just enjoy the excitement of the guessing game...even though it's a 50/50 shot!!
    What do you think you are having?
    For those who know already, what did you think versus what you will be having or had?
    I find out on 7/14/08 and I am so thrilled (I'm currently 17 wks, 3 days)!!!
    Oh, I forgot to say what I think I am having...a girl!! Even w/out the old-wives tales, I still feel that way! We'll see! Again, I will be just as happy with a boy! I am just too thrilled to be having a baby!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh goodness...I was convinced I was having a girl!! According to the pencil test and ring test I should be having a girl, but according to the ultrasound where I saw a little pee pee and two testicals...IT'S A BOY! I was a little bummed at first (but I didn't let anyone know because) because I had my heart set on a little girl, etc. but now I can't wait for my little man to get here and I feel silly for ever having gotten upset over something like that!

  19. QUESTION:
    What week did you find out gender of your baby?
    Just for fun really.. im so impatient and want to know if im carrying a boy or girl.. im secretly hoping for a girl.. :O)
    Did anyone take the gender blood tests you can buy? If so was it worth the money??
    Anyone have the correct sex according to the Chinese Birth Calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese birth chart was right for all 3 of my kids, but wrong for both my best friends kids. I don't know about a gender blood test you can buy, but I wasted my money on that Intelligender test. What a waste! If I turned it to the boy side, my urine looked kinda green, when I turned it around to the girl side, it looked orange-ish. I even sent the company pictures and wronte them multiple emails and never got a response. They're a rip-off!

  20. QUESTION:
    Do you get annoyed with old wives tales?!?
    I do, I mean its 2010 for Heaven's Sake!

    I really want to scream next time I get told "ooh you're carrying low, its a girl!" or "you're craving chocolate?! Must be female!!" (what happens if you crave both sweet AND spicy foods?!?) or "Heartburn? Your baby will have lots of hair!!" (umm no its the pressure of the uterus against the stomach and the softening of the ring of muscle at the top of stomach due to the effects of progesterone allowing stomach acid to escape into the oesophagus, actually . . . .)

    I know you always get people who say "well it worked for me!" but thats because you have a 50% chance of being "right" either way and lets face it, 50% is good odds!

    I find this is worst of all with older women, perhaps because in their day not much was known or explained to them about pregnancy and childbirth. My husband's mother is the worst for these silly myths and she admits that although she had three kids she knows absolutely nothing about the facts of pregnancy. My own mum isn't much better - she really doesn't understand how the mechanics of pregnancy "work", despite having two children herself.

    Does anyone else feel like me - that they want medical facts and figures, not fairytales? Or do some people find old wives' tales comforting, because perhaps they are easier to understand than medical terminology, and they trust their aunties, mums and grannies more than they trust doctors and midwives?

    The only thing that has "worked" so far for me is the Chinese Gender Predictor Calendar (boy last time, girl this time), but that doesn't mean I see it as anything other than a bit of fun and a lucky coincidence.

    It baffles me!
    It scares me silly that people beleive them! I can almost excuse it in my mum because of her age and her generation but hubby's mother is much younger and still beleives them!! She says she "doesn't want to know" the medical facts about pregnancy and prefers to rely on myths, old wives tales and "what happened to my friend". I'm sorry but that just scares the crap out of me, I need to be informed lol.

    I guess maybe women in the pre-internet days didn't have the opportunity to educate themselves as much as they do now, I'm not sure . . . but I see no excuse for young women today to beleive these fairytales . . .

  21. QUESTION:
    Am I having a boy or a girl?
    Im 9 weeks pregnant and ive already got some weird symptoms. Ive taken several gender quizzes and I get the same answer every time. "Its too close to tell". Almost all my friends and family think its going to be a girl for no other reason than a guess. I think its going to be a boy.
    1. My stomach is always uneasy but Ive only thrown up a handful of times.
    2. The thought, site, and smell of meat turns my gut.
    3. I have been craving a black cherry warhead for 2 weeks. SOUR SOUR SOUR.
    4. BUT... I love sweet stuff. NOT salty. Of course that was true for me way before I was pregnant.
    5. I don't really have a baby bump yet but I have gained a little weight around my lower waist. Right above my pants line. Its basically just water weight.
    6. My hair is shiny and full
    7. I have a lot of acne. Everywhere. and my skins always oily which is unusual for me.
    8. Im not swelling anywhere as far as I can tell.
    9. My baby's heart rate is 178 BPM
    10. Im tired all the time. If I'm awake for more than 2 hours I could fall asleep for hours.
    11. Based on the Chinese calendar I'm having a girl.
    12. I know genetics have really nothing to do with gender but my family and my fiances family is full of boys. There's not a single first born girl in our entire families.
    So.... am I having a boy or a girl? :)
    Ive got 9 weeks to go til I find out and its driving me nuts!

    Chinese Sex Gender Birth Predictor...Is it real?
    I was recently surfing the web and I happened to come across a wonderful website called stumbleupon.com. Its amazing check it out. Anyway, as I was stumbling, I came ascrosss an ancient Chinese gender chart. Now on this chaart it (supposedly) tells you (by age of the mother t conception and month of conception) what gender your baby will be. Now I really want to have a boy and by the looks of this chart I only have untill the end of this month to get pregnant or else I will only get pregnant with girls for the rest of the year. I really dont care either way if I have a boy or girl any baby is a gift from God. I just wanted to know If anyone else thinks this chart is true...so check it out and let me know what you think.
    babymed.com/tools/other/chinese_gender_calendar/Chart.aspx
    I also looked at the cahrt to figure out if it was true for my mother (who has 2 kids me and my little brother) and it turned out to be right

    • ANSWER:
      I asked this question about this time last year when I was pregnant and saw the Chinese gender chart. It turned out to be wrong, I was supposed to have a boy.
      Gender has nothing to do with a Chinese chart. Obviously there is no way that the chart could see into everyone's sperm in the world and always be correct. Since there are only two choices for gender, it is always fifty-fifty, no matter what. It's just like any other old wives tales. The gender of a child is decided by which type of sperm fertilizes with the egg. And I hate to say it, but if this thing were true, there wouldn't be any women in China trying to conceive during the months that would produce girls. And with the amount of abortions there are over there, and the amount of women getting pregnant over and over until they have sons instead....the chart isn't something to take seriously.

  31. QUESTION:
    When you were pregnant did you know what you were having before an ultra sound confirmed the gender?
    Everyone is telling me I'm having a boy. I took that chinese calendar baby gender predictor (for fun) and it also says boy. I just kinda get a boy vibe from it, I thought it was a boy before anyone said it was, I know a lot of mothers have no clue and even more of them want the opposite of what they want. I would LOVE a girl (id be ecstatic) but I just kind of think I'm having a son. How many of you could tell what your baby was going to be? Did any of you think you would have a boy and it turned out to be a girl? (Or vice versa?) Please no rude answers, every time I ask a harmless question a few *ss holes leave me messed up rude as hell answers.

    • ANSWER:
      I took fortune baby gender prediction test in my first trimester, and it said i am having a girl, and my 20 wk ultrasound confirmed it! i was very skeptical at first, but now i know it works, couple of my friends used that test too. Good luck!

  32. QUESTION:
    choosing the gender before conception?
    is there truth the shettles method of conceiving a boy or girl.
    just wondered if anyone out there has had any success with it as it seem plausible, but then i read about o+12 method which contradicts shettles and tells you if you want a girl to have intercourse 12 hours after ovulation whereas shettles recommends 2 1/2 to 3 days before ovulation. also been looking at the chinese ovulation calendar not sure if any of these have any success would be interested to hear any success stories in getting the preferred gender.

    I would like to add that i do not prefer one gender over the other at all, every child is a blessing but after three gorgeous sons we are considering a daughter and if i can improve the chances so be it but if i am blessed with another son (so help me god LOL) then thats ok to.

    • ANSWER:
      I conceived my daughter on day 11 of my cycle so yes, like Brittney says ,have sex up to about day 11 or 12 of your cycle then not again till aweek or so later(the sex a week later is just to practise!).This of course presumes that u have a 28 day cycle.This hopefully ensures that any sperm you have left are mainly female and thus increases the chance of a girl being conceived.I've also heard that the father can eat certain foods that promote the production of female sperm.You'd have to research that one as i'm not sure. Hope this is of some small help.

  33. QUESTION:
    I had 2 boys, how to increase my chances to conceive a girl?
    I tried the chinese calendar that calculates the gender of the baby and my last 2 pregnancy was 50-50. the 1st one was accurate and but the 2nd one. Hence, don't really trust this.

    I appreciates all kinds of suggestion or recommendation.
    Thank you, blinky47! I always considered myself blessful with 2 beautiful 'monsters'. They are y life although they do 'terrorize' my life at times.

    http://www.babygenderprediction.com/chinese-gender-chart.html

      Its just something fun based on myths. Some can be true for you and some not, just depends on the person Iguess. It was right for 2 out of 3 of my kids.

  35. QUESTION:
    How can i know for sure if im having a baby girl or a baby girl besides my ultrasound?
    Okay, so im already 27 weeks and I had my ultraslound on February and they told me it was a baby girl, but a lot of other people have looked at me and told me that they think its a boy because of the shape of my belly so im really getting confused since its my first baby. I really would like it if someone who has been pregnant before tell me how they knew if it was a boy or a girl. I have done that chinese calendar test thing and it has came out as boy but then i tried other tests and it came out as a girl, i really dont know. So i need some tips to know how to find out the gender of my baby.

    • ANSWER:
      those tests are stupid and don't work. my ultrasound says i'm having a boy. but all those tests and wives tales say i'm having a girl. in the ultrasound, the baby has a penis. the ultrasound is the best way to find out.

  36. QUESTION:
    is it true to have certain gender have sex certain times?
    i have a 4yr old son, and been trying to conceive for 6 months now. i would love a baby girl. i read that if u want a baby girl you should have sex days before u ovulate and not on ovulation day and if u want a boy to have sex on ovulation day and not before? is that true? i would love a baby girl. and is it ok for kids to be born like a month apart or should it be few months apart. we are not gonna try in nov cause i dont want to have 2 bdays in august cause my son was born in august. but please let me know what i can do to increase my chances of having a baby girl. i dont wanna like have sex before ovulation and at the end not get pregnant. please let me know what u think. and is it true those chinese gender calendars.

    • ANSWER:
      According to the most current research, it does seem like there are certain things like hormone balances, length of follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, and even diet that may slightly impact your chances of conceiving a boy or girl. But these influences are poorly understood and not well deeply researched as of yet.

      The so-called Shettles method of getting the gender you want by timing intercourse a certain way actually HAS been researched by several docs and scientists--- and it has been proven to have no impact whatsoever. Shettles himself never even bothered to do the research to prove himself right, possibly because he knew the theory was just jibberjabber and nonsense.

      The simple fact is that it's more or less a coin-toss, with roughly equal chances either way. Many people claim that they used the Shettles method and it worked... but come on-- they had a roughly 50% chance of getting the gender they wanted anyway! That does NOT mean that it actually works. For every one person that claims it worked for them, there's also at least one person who say that it didn't work for them.

      Most legitimate research sources recommend that you simply focus on having unrestricted sex during your fertile time. Trying to "time it" just right is more likely to just result in you not getting pregnant at all.

      The only truly functional way to get the gender you want is to do what's common in China: Get pregnant, get the gender tested early in the pregnancy, and have an abortion if it's not the gender you wanted. Yes, this really does happen, sadly. It's why China has a much higher population of young men now who aren't able to find young Chinese brides, because more girls are aborted in favor of boys in the one-child-allowed society. If you're not willing to take this macabre solution, though, then it's best to forget about trying to control what gender you get and just be happy with what Mother Nature sends your way.

  37. QUESTION:

  39. QUESTION:
    Babys gender?
    I am expecting my third baby. I have 2 boys and am hoping to have a girl this time. I used an ovulation calendar that tells you how to achieve girls or boys. Has anyone else used this? did it work? Has anyone tried the chinese gender predictor? did that work? I heard it is pretty accurate but was curious.

    • ANSWER:
      The sperm determines the sex of the baby. Sperm that produces boy babies is faster but doesn't live as long as the slower sperm that produces girl babies. The theory is that if you have sex a couple of days before ovulation that you will have a girl baby because all the boy sperm will be dead. Of course, this only works if you ovulate at the same time every month. Otherwise, you could ovulate early and the faster boy sperm would be the one to fertilize your egg.

  40. QUESTION:
    Did I concieve on day of ovulation?
    My husband and I have 3 wonderful girls and thought we would give the Settles method a go mainly for fun to try to conceive a boy. Either way we really aren't too fussed if we have a boy or girl we will be over the moon be it boy or girl.....

    My question is this.......I have been tracking my temp and CM as well as using OK. Over the past 3 months i believe I have gotten in touch with my cycle.

    Before our attempt the following was done by both my husband and I.

    1. No sex for 5 days leading up to our attempt
    2. Hubby drank coke 30 mins before attempt
    3. Deep penitration (sorry TMI)
    4. Waited for my CM shift from creamy to egg-white
    5. Attempted 12 hours after first positive OPK
    6. Attempt was 3 days after temp rise (i waited for OPK and CM to be favourable)
    7. Also went by Chinese gender calendar for a laugh!

    We are over joyed as we got a + pregnancy test first go! What I would like to know is if going by your experience and knowledge do you think we did everything correctly to concieve a baby boy?

    I have 3 girls.. and well I used the calendar all 3 times... now I hear that I used it wrong... so now I'm looking thru all these websites that have the calendars, and they all say that I should conceive a boy in November and December of this year... we can only have one more baby... and we really want a BOY... is the calendar nonsense???... is it timing ovulation the key to having a boy??? We want to start now... cuz we want a summer baby... but if those calendars are correct... we will have a girl if we don't conceive....On November or December= what should we do?????

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese gender prediction is just like any other old wives tale. According to it, my first should have been a boy, I had a girl. The second time around it said girl, and I had a girl.

Also the Chinese Lunar Calendar says it'll be a boy too. In some ways I want a girl and in some ways I want a boy. So I'd be happy either way... I was just curious if I could even take the result as a hint or not. :)

    • ANSWER:
      The at home gender test you can take at any point past 10 weeks. the genitals dont need to be formed, as the test is done by hormones not by seeing if the baby has this or that down there.

Gender Calendar

How to Have a Boy or Girl --Sexual Positions For Gender Selection
If you want to try to increase the chances of having a boy or a girl, sometimes it all comes down to how you do it literally. While there is no 100% method that will guarantee that you can select the gender of your child, there are specific positions that you can try that will increase the likelihood of selecting the gender.

This works for a variety of different reasons, but is based in the fact that the two kinds of chromosomes that are responsible for gender selection are carried by sperm that are very different. The Y chromosome is responsible for conceiving a boy. The sperm that carry this chromosome are small, quick and able to cover the distance to the egg very rapidly. The downside is they don't live very long and if they have to swim too far, they won't be able to complete their journey successfully. The X chromosome sperm are responsible for conceiving a girl.

These sperm are much larger, and move quite a bit slower. However, they live a lot longer and have more endurance when it comes to reaching the egg. Here's what you need to know when it comes to picking positions to pick gender.

How to Have a Boy

Because the Y sperm need a little extra help in reaching their destination before they expire, positions that allow deep penetration are essential. The goal is to have the man orgasm as closely as possible to the neck of the cervix. This reduces the amount of time that the sperm will need to spend getting to the egg. Positions that allow for this to occur include woman dominant, or woman on top as well as its other variation, commonly called Reverse Cowgirl. In these positions, the woman is astride the man and can control how deeply he penetrates her. At the moment of orgasm, the woman should allow the man inside as deeply as possible. There are a few other positions as well, but the important thing to remember is that the deeper the penetration at the moment of orgasm, the more likely you are to have a boy.

How to Have a Girl

If you would prefer to have a girl, the proper positions involve much shallower penetration. The X sperm are much more durable and need a little more time to reach the egg, allowing the Y sperm to die off before they get there. This means that the man should orgasm as far away from the neck of the cervix as possible.

Positions for shallow penetration include missionary, spooning and the lotus position where the couple wrap their legs around each other while sitting. The positions do not allow for deep penetration and the desired result of increasing the likelihood of having a girl can be achieved.

Don't Forget There is one more thing to remember when choosing a position for choosing gender. If you do want to have a boy, it is important that the woman orgasm before the man. This changes the PH near the cervix, making it more hospitable to the Y sperm. The opposite is true if you want to have a girl.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese Gender Calendar?
    I was just wondering how accurate people are finding the chinese gender predictor calendar? I have friends who swear by it and for my son it was right! I was just curious if other people find it is right or just a fluke?

    • ANSWER:
      Its all in good fun nothing to take serious though

  2. QUESTION:
    How correct is the Chinese gender calendar?
    I was wondering how many women found out that the chinese gender calendar was right with their pregnancy on what they ended up having? Was it right? i was just wondering how many times it was correct it was with everyone. just wondering.

    • ANSWER:
      its pretty accurate if its read correctly... I know about 9-10 people i know it was correct. :) I'm finding out soon so we will see if its correct with me.. It says its a boy...

      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  3. QUESTION:
    Does the chinese pregnancy gender calendar work?
    Does the chinese pregnancy gender calendar really work?

    • ANSWER:
      Nope, not for me. I was having three girls if it was right. My first child said girl (it was right), my second child said girl (it was wrong), and my third child said girl (it was wrong). I have a daughter and a son and one on the way. So I wouldn't count on that as an accurate predictor.

  4. QUESTION:
    How do you read the Chinese Gender Calendar?
    Some Chinese Calendars say, start with your current age, and month at conception, and some say age when the baby is born, and conception? Which is true? That's what confuses me when I want to read the calendar?

      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  10. QUESTION:
    Which is the best Gender Prediction Calendar out there?
    Does it really work out ? Is it accurate in gender prediction? Please let me know your respond if you have tried these gender prediction calendars?

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly... None of them work, Ive had so many people tell me "oh ya this one is awesome!" only to have my next friend say "well that thing didn't work for me..."

      The best way to know is just to wait for at least the 16 week (I know its terrible not to know) sometimes at 16 weeks they can tell you (his/hers stuff begins to grow at about week 10 but isn't visible)

      Most doctors will have you wait till 18-22 weeks though (this gives you a better chance of seeing for sure)

      And keep in mind that even Ultrasounds don't work all the time, if the baby doesn't cooperate than sometiems you cant see at all, and sometimes they are wrong (my mom thought I was a boy till the 2nd ultrasound because the first ultrasound tech said I was a boy)

      There are wives tales "if you want sweet things its a girl, sour and salt means its a boy" or " if your holding your baby low in your body its a boy, higher up its a girl"....

      In all honesty there is no way to be 100% sure unless you get a level 2 Ultrasound at about week 24 or on...

      Good luck and I hope you get what you want!

  13. QUESTION:
    Is this gender prediction calendar correct?
    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    That is a link to the Gender Prediction Calendar.

    Would you take a look and it and tell me if it
    correctly predicts the gender of the baby, if
    you are a mom?

    For example, if you have a kid, check to see
    if the calendar is right.

    I want to know how accurate it is.

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how you look at it . . . it predicts a boy for me . . . and I did have a boy AND A GIRL! Doesn't take into account multiple births.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender chart work for you?
    I am just wondering if the chinese gender chart was right for anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      It worked for me.
      The funny part is that every test, quiz and prediction (including ultrasounds) said I was having a boy. Everyone that had a comment also said I was having a boy, except for one old Chinese woman. I told her I was having a boy (I was about 7 months along and they were positive it was a boy) and she said "no, no you aren't, you will have a little girl" and I just smiled and didn't think anything of it. At least, not until my doctor pulled out my DAUGHTER and said "Oh! Surprise! It's a girl!"

  2. QUESTION:
    mums have you had any luck with the chinese gender chart?
    I have been looking at the chinese gender chart and this time it tells me i am having a boy. I was just wondering if any body else has tried it out and did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for me....it said boy and that's what I had.

      But..... for fun I tried it on a coworker and it told her boy, and her ultrasound pointed more towards girl.... guess we'll have to wait until September to find out for sure.

      Hey.... it's a 50/50 shot at being right...haha!!

      Good luck and blessings on the pregnancy!!

  3. QUESTION:
    Which one do you think seems to be more accurate the Intelligender tests or chinese gender chart?
    I know they are both just for fun but have they actually worked for any of you? The chinese gender chart says im having a girl but the intelligender says its a boy. I still just have a feeling its a girl though!:)
    I did the chinese gender chart wrong the 1st time. It says ill be having a baby...Maybe just maybe its a boy. I hope so:)

    • ANSWER:
      Chinese gender chart told me I was having a girl and sure enough, I'm buying pink!!

      Good luck!

  4. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  5. QUESTION:
    do u believe that the chinese gender chart is right?
    back in old times, they believed that the chinese gender chart was spot on with predicting the gender you were having, according to your age and what month you conceived... i've had a play around with it, and it said i was having a boy!!! and i had a boy... this time it says im having a girl... but i still think im having another boy... i just think its a fun thing to do... has it always been right for you?

    • ANSWER:
      It was wrong for me, but then again I found two different charts on the internet that both gave me a different answer for the same month of conception and the same age.

      http://babymed.com/Tools/Other/Chinese_Gender_Calendar/Default.aspx
      http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx?MsdVisit=1

      The first said I was having a boy, the second said girl.

  27. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know if the origional Chinese gender chart went below the age of 18?
    ...or any other charts that do?

    • ANSWER:
      You don't need the chart. Another chinese method is to take the age when you got pregnant and add it to the number of the month you got pregnant in. If the answer was a even number you're having a boy and if it's an odd number you're having a girl. Example 17 years old at conception and conception took place in May(5) = 22 , even number boy. Or for me I was 22 and got pregnant in September (9) = 31, I had a girl

      I did this because I wanted to know the sex at 2months. It worked! I also used it for 5 other couples in the past year, I was right every time.

Gender Calender

Gender disparity in administrative effectiveness of head of academic departments in Nigeria Universities
Gender disparity in administrative effectiveness of head of academic departments in Nigeria Universities Don omoike and Philipa O.A Idogho Department of Educational Foundations And Management, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria Auchi Polytechnic Auchi, School of information and communication Technology E-mail: philipaidogho@yahoo.com dononde@hotmail.com KEYWORDS: Administrative effectiveness; heads of departments; gender, universities ABSTRACT: The study was on the level of administrative effectiveness of Heads of Academic Departments in Nigeria universities and the significant difference (if any) in administrative effectiveness of male ad female Heads of Academic Departments. One research question and one hypothesis were raised/formulated to direct the investigation. Out of 1520 Heads of Academic Departments in all 36 public universities in Nigeria, 1326 academic staff in nine universities were selected from 362 Departments in nine universities for the study. The results of investigation revealed that the administrative effectiveness of Heads of Departments in Nigerian universities was high. Since there was no significant difference in the area of sex, it was recommended among others that gender should not be a hindrance in the appointment of Heads of Department of Heads of Departments.

INTRODUCTION

The state of administration in higher education has been a source of concern to the stakeholders. The universities had firm control of the activities of staff and students. This was to the extent of the existence of normal academic calendar of nine months. Stakeholders especially parents and employers of labor had assurance as to the precise year of graduation and caliber of graduates from universities in Nigeria. The mandate of the university as specified in section 8 of the National policy on Education (FRN, 2004 edition) is to teach, conduct research development and provide community service. These organizational goals of the university seen no longer realizable due to obstacle that include alleged poor performance of Heads of Departments who are no longer performing their functions effectively. Lucas (1994) describes administrative functions of the Head of Department to include: preparing teaching schedules, ensuring teaching effectiveness of staff, managing graduate assistants, and other department staff, performing personnel decision-making, revising the curriculum, and managing the budget. The success or failure of the department is therefore his responsibility. The mandate of the university can only be achieved through the effective performance, by the Heads of Departments of their functions. The National Universities Commission (UNC) in its 2002 report on the state of education in Nigeria alleged that universities in Nigeria perform below expectation (Okebukola, 2002). Some stakeholders especially parents and employers of labour also alleged poor performance of graduates from universities in Nigeria. Aghenta (2001) equally observed that not more than 30 percent of the normal period of teaching is used for actual teaching. Lecturers do not submit examination questions early neither do the mark the scripts and submit results on times. Could these be because the Heads of Departments are uncaring, self-serving and exhibits dictatorial management? There are situations where, for instance, students so not even register their courses before examinations. Since the department is the basic unit of the university system, could it be that the Heads of Departments are not performing their administrative or supervisory roles effectively? How effective are the Heads of Departments in the administration of academic departments? Could it also be that female Head of Departments are not effective in the performance of administrative duties? It was therefore imperative to ascertain the administrative effectiveness of Head of Departments who are given duties to perform and determine if female Heads of Departments are not effective in the performance of ,administrative duties?

METHOD OF STUDY

This is descriptive research based on the ex-post-factor design. The population of the study comprised all the academic staff in the 1520 Academic Departments in all the 36 public universities in a range of types of (federal, state, conventional, specialized, older, newer) universities. Through a multistage and stratified methods and finally through purposive sampling technique 1,326 academic staff were selected to rate the 362 Heads of Departments in nine universities taken from the 36 public universities in Nigeria. The main instruction that was used in data collection was the questionnaire title Heads of Departments Administrative Effectiveness questionnaire (HODAEQ: The purpose of the rate the performance of the Heads of Departments in Nigerian universities in order to determine their administrative effectiveness. The questionnaire was made up of two major section. The first section sought background information (ownership, age and curriculum of university and sex of the Head of Department. The second section contained 30 administrative duties of the Head of Department on which academic staff were asked to rate the performance of their Heads of Departments on a five point likert type scale. The items were grouped into seven functional areas that included Heads of Departments administration of instructional programmes, administration of staff, administration of students, administration of facilities, administration of finance, administration of external relations and administration of office. Five of these groups had four items per group whose Reponses were to determine the administrative effectiveness of the Heads of Departments. The other two group had five items each. To ensure the achievement of the face and content validity the instrument Head s of Departments Administrative Effectiveness Questionnaire (HODAEQ) was designed to reflect

DON OMOIKE AND PHILIP O.A IDOGHO

The problem and the hypothesis of the study. Two research consultants in educational administration certified the instrument before it was administered. The test-retest method was used to test the reliability of he instrument. The data obtained was statistically analyzed to obtain the reliability coefficient. The result of the correlation of the scores through Pearson r' was 0.83. The questionnaire was administered on a total of 1,448 academic staff in the 362 departments out of which 1,326 was retrieved for analysis. The data collected to answer the research question raised for the study were analyzed with the use of means and percentages. The hypothesis that was formulated was tested using the z-test statistics. Sixty percent (or transformed mean of 3.00) was adopted as the base line for administrative. Effectiveness. Research Question: What is the level of administrative effectiveness of Heads of Departments? Percentage. The results are presented in table 1. As revealed in table 1, there were a total of 1,326 respondents who rated the 362 Heads of Department in he nine selected universities. With a mean of 15.2, a transformed mean of 3.55 and 71 percent rating on administrative effectiveness rating. HYPOTHESIS: There is no significant difference in administrative effectiveness between male and female Head of Departments of universities in Nigeria.

Table 1:

Administrative effectiveness rating of heads of departments

1,326 141,335 15.2 3.55 71 Effective

Table 2:

Administrative Male 1,150 71.8 6.9 1.324 1.96 Not significant

Effectiveness Female 176 70.2 7.6 P>0.05

The hypothesis was tested by applying the z-test . The result of analysis is presented in table 2. The z-test of significance of difference as shown in the table 2 had a calculated z-test value of 1.54. This indicates that no significant difference exists in administrative effectiveness of male and female Heads of Departments in Nigerian Universities. Thus, the hypothesis that states that there is no significant difference in administrative effectiveness between male and female heads of departments retained.

DISCUSSION

One of the findings of this study was that heads of department were generally very effective ( 71%) in their administration of academic departments. The finding confirms that of Hamlin ( 2002) that found a degree of congruence in all the criteria of managerial effectiveness of leaders in higher education. he has found academic leaders as effective. Another important finding was that females were under represented in department headship in Nigerian universities. The finding of futrell (2002) is confirmed that women represent a small proportion of educational leaders and administrators. One would tend to agree with Forsyth (1999), that men are likely to emerge as leaders because women are reluctant' to assume leadership roles. This result is a confirmation of Forsyth's earlier confirmation that there is a significant difference in leadership emergence by gender, which he translated to mean that leadership performance is titled towards the male than female leaders. With a mean score of 70,2, female Heads of Departments were found to be effective in their administration of academic departments. This is further strengthened by the result of z-test that showed no significant difference in heads of departments administrative effectiveness between male and females. The earlier impressions has been on exclusive gender differences that negatively affect the appointment and performance or effectiveness of female Heads of Departments (Korabik, 2002) .out of the 362 Heads of Departments sampled, only thirteen percent were females. It may be a result of their relative non-availability as may be found in the male-female ratio of academic staff in universities. From the results, therefore , the sex of a leader cannot be equated with ability, performance and effectiveness. The findings do not agree with Hawkin's (1995) observation that there are mutually exclusive gender differences that affect the emergence and performance of a leader. The finding of no significant difference in administrative effectiveness between male and female Heads of Departments confirm Osho's (1998) earlier finding of no significant different in administrative effectiveness between male and female principals. There is thus no differential performance in leadership by men and woman as observed by Korabik (2002). She had concluded that women are given person oriented leadership skills while men should be given task-oriented skills to ensure their effective leadership performance.

CONCLUSION

The study has provide evidence of high level of administrative effectiveness of Heads of Departments in Universities in Nigeria. It would appear that the problem that emanate and usually lead to crisis within the universities in Nigeria may not be traced to the administration of departments by Heads of Departments. The appointment of Heads of Department seems to be appropriate as almost all Head of Departments were effective in the performance of administrative duties in the departments. The finding of no significant difference in administrative effectiveness of Heads of Departments between males and females has implication for gender issues in university administration. There is the current global focus on female education that requires increase not only in women education but also in female involvement in educational administration in general and university governance in particular. This seems to be the focus of women in academics movement RECOMMENDATION Head o Departments should continuously perform their administrative functions as best they can. They only need to be encouraged to do better so as to increase the percentage rating on the effectiveness scale. Gender of an academic staff should not be a factor in considering whom to appoint as Heads of criteria for appointments such as experience, they should be appointed as Heads of Department; their administrative effectiveness is not in doubt. Conscious and direct plans need to be put in place to redirect focus on bringing women into academi

      I saw this calendar on a website several years ago, although it goes by months, and the mom's age rather than by days. For the fun of it, I checked it out on several people-friends, family, myself... I would say that I 'polled' about 30-35 people-one woman had an inaccurate answer from the chart. Who knows? Could be something there. I truly believe that we were very meticulously created, and I think that God has a great sense of humor. I think He's amused when we 'figure out' things like this... but maybe He likes to throw us a curve ball every once in a while? Just a thought. Best of luck to you!

    • ANSWER:

  4. QUESTION:
    How accurate is the Chinese gender calender?
    I am 9 weeks pregnant and my friend was having some fun with me and told me to check out the chinese gender calender. She said she was referred to it from someone who said it predicted the gender accurately of her baby, so my friend used it and it accurately predicted the sex of her baby. This is my first and I was hoping for a girl, and the chinese calender predicts it will be a girl. I was just wondering if anyone else used this and had the accuracy it says it does.

    • ANSWER:
      It was wrong. I did my information first, as it asks for the mom's info and it said I'm having a girl (I'm having a boy, I saw his goods on the u/s) so then I tried entering his dad's info and it still said girl. I even changed my due date by one day and still said girl. It's a crock.

  5. QUESTION:
    How accurate the chinese birth gender calender is?
    We are trying to have girl next time. We want to know how accurate the chinese birth chart is?Please give us the feedback if it was correct in your case or not. If not sure, please give the your date of birth, month of conceive and month in which the child was born and the gender of baby.

    • ANSWER:
      It is about as accurate as an astrological life chart based on birth date. any success in either situation is purely chance.

      there is, as yet, no way to ensure a particular gender in conception. however, the knowledge of gene dynamics, dna crosslinking and the outcomes on features of a child is increasing rapidly.

      the only sure method to choose the sex of your child is artificial insemination, although I believe this is only available to otherwise infertile couples.

      there are two different class of sperm for every man, and which of the two successfully penetrates the cell wall of the ovum determines the sex of the baby. each kind is made from either the X or the Y chromosome of his dna. if a Y makes it in, it combines with the Y of the woman to make a YY (girl.) if the X makes it in, you get XY (boy.) the X sperm are more energetic, and swim faster, but die quicker, and cannot withstand acidity as well as the Y.

      it is very likely that in the future a genetic or physiological assessment of the parents before conception will determine the percent chance of a certain sex being conceived, but because there are too many factors effecting whether an X or Y makes it to make this any more than a probability assessment.

      however, in the far future it is conceivable that the most critical of these factors will be understood and documented, and parents can influence them to decide the sex of their child in a natural way.

  6. QUESTION:
    has anyone used the Chinese gender predictor calender?
    I am trying to get pregnant and I want a girl. Has any one ever used the Chinese gender predictor calender if so did it work for you?

    • ANSWER:
      You have to follow it correctly. Go with your Chinese birthday year. If you where born before Chinese new year your age will be the same if you were born after Chinese new year add a year more to you age. Take your age and month of conception which it has to be two weeks after your first day of your last period. If your lmp was the 20th of June then your conception month is July...

      But it's only for entertainment. But I tried after I gave birth to my daughter. And tried it with my sisters and brothers it came out correct.

  7. QUESTION:
    Should I trust the Chinese Lunar gender calender for the prediction of my baby!?
    I want to have another baby, I already have a 18 months baby girl, now i want a baby boy, but the chinese lunar calender tells me that i can only have a boy in January. I really dont want to wait that long to get pregnat again. I'm 26 and i want to get pregnat now!! What should i do??? wait or just do it now.

    • ANSWER:
      This is SHettles Method its scientific method. you can try it

      Frequency and Timing of Intercourse:

      Shettles says in order to increase the chances of having a boy, you should have sex no earlier than 24 hours before ovulation to 12 hours after ovulation.

      Intercourse closer to ovulation the faster but less robust Y (boy) sperm. The cervical mucus present at ovulation is less acidic and "slippery" enough to help the Y (boy) sperm reach the egg more quickly.

      Sexual Position:

      Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a boy, deep penetration from your partner, preferably with the "doggy style" position, will deposit the sperm closer to the cervix giving the more aggressive and quicker moving "boy" sperm a head start to fertilizating the egg first.

      Sex and Orgasms:

      When trying to conceive a boy, Shettles suggests that orgasms during sex are a good thing as the body produces substances after orgasm that makes the vaginal environment more alkaline, which favors the "boy" sperm.

      The contractions which accompany an orgasm help move the sperm up and into the cervix, giving the "boy" sperm an extra chance at being available when your egg is available for fertilization.

      Considerations for the Men:

      Have your partner wear boxers. Wearing tight fitting underwear increases the heat levels around the testes and can, in turn, lower the sperm count. Wearing loose fitting underwear helps keep the testes cooler.

      Have your partner drink a caffeinated beverage right before sex. This makes the Y-Sperm more active.

  8. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender calender work for any of you ladies?

    • ANSWER:

  9. QUESTION:
    just a little curious did the chinese baby gender calender work for you?
    just wana see how accurate it is =]

    • ANSWER:
      spookily it was right for all 4 of my girls i have never used this before but when i checked my age at conception against the month concieved it was spot on. did all of you use age at conception and not age at birth. it says number 5 is a boy will let you know on friday lol

  10. QUESTION:
    I want to know according to the gender calender what the sex of my baby is.?
    my last menstrual period was December 16 2010, i had an ultra sound and from the measurements my due date is September 26 2011. I was curious if i conceived in December or in January, and what the gender calender would say about the sex of my baby.
    i am 21 my birthday was December 20

    • ANSWER:
      It's difficult to pinpoint when exactly you conceived, but based on your due date you conceived sometime between December 27 and January 3. Based on the Chinese gender chart, the gender will depend not only on the month you conceived, but also on your age. The chart is at my second link below.

      ETA: Based on your age, the calendar says if you conceived in December it will be a girl. If in January, it will be a boy. And of course it's not be reliable, but it's fun.

  11. QUESTION:

    after loosing a baby a couple months ago I don't care what it is as long as it's healthy we are just so excited to have another baby! these answers are fun! thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I JUST learned about what this was today. For fun I looked at ways to conceive a girl and ran across it. It was dead on for my friend and dead on for my mom. My other friend said it may have been right for her (she's not sure if she conceived on the last day of one month or first day of the next. I hope it's right for me (and that I actually did conceive this month). I'd love to have a little girl! lol

      Definitely fun to look at though. And it's going to be right at least 1/2 the time. Except for the rare occasions, it's a 50/50 chance you're having the girl it told you to or the boy it told you to. lol

I even told me hubby that if this baby is a girl then I'm putting all those old wives tales to shame for sure! Well, we went for the ultrasound a week and half ago and it's a boy! I honestly would have been happy either way! The chinese calendar said girl too! So just because the world thinks one way doesn't mean that's what you'll have :) It's all just silly guessing! haha! Good luck on Friday! Can't wait to hear what you're having! Best wishes!

  23. QUESTION:
    did you add on a year for the chinese gender calender?
    im just a little confused, if i do the chart without adding a year (to get my lunar age?) i get boy, but the if i add a year, i get girl. i went to a website where it it supposed to calculate it for you, and it says girl. any input? thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Honeybee --

      Adding a year isn't necessarily precise. My MIL wanted a male grandson so badly she went to every chart she could find to back up her claim that my ultrasounds were wrong. Problem (well, but one problem with her thinking) was that she was using a straight non-lunar one. I used this one:

      http://www.babyhopes.com/articles/chinese-birth-chart.html

      It helps you calculate your true lunar age. Given, it's 'for entertainment purposes only,' but my amnio confirmed that yes, it is a girl -- just like this calendar says. (I also tried it with about half a dozen people I know, and it was incorrect only in one case, and even then the baby was a preemie so who knows!)

      Hope this helps!

      p.s. My MIL is finally getting used to the idea. I never had any doubt about my daughter!

    I want to get a survey of the placenta theory, nub theory, Chinese gender calender, day of conception (if known) and sex position and of course what was the gender of your baby? As much information as we can gather the better. I am curious about everyone Else's experiences, conception, and gender.

    The first day of my period was November first 2011.

    Gender of Baby: Boy

    Chinese Calender: This would make the Chinese calender correct (boy)
    The ring on string: Correct.
    Placenta Placement: Ultrasound showed Right Side. Correct.
    Sex position: Female on top - Orgasm during and after ejaculation
    Nub theory: Never had an ultrasound in the right position to test the nub theory but saw a prominent penis at 14 weeks and 5 days on the ultrasound.
    Day of conception: I am pretty sure it was the 14th at night. I have it documented in my text messages and evernote. Ovulation would have been around then on the 15th? Online it says conceptions between Nov 8th and Nov 15th and another site says 11th to the 19th. my due date 8-8-2011. I took my first and only Pregnancy test which was positive on Dec 3rd. Felt pregnant a week prior.

    • ANSWER:
      Gender of Baby: It's a girl!
      Chinese Calender: Right for me as well, said it was a girl
      Ring on String: Never tried it
      Sex position: I have no idea! Hubby and I had way too much sex the month we conceived to know which time "did the trick"
      Nub Theory: I had 4 early ultrasounds before 8 weeks but that's far too early obviously and didn't have another until 18 weeks in which we found out it was a girl.
      Day of conception: Again, no idea, haha. Too much sex in one month.

  38. QUESTION:
    China Calender for Gender Determination during Pregnancy?
    A friend of mine told me about china calender which can be used for determining the gender of the baby during pregnancy. He said it is correct 99% of the times. Can any one tell me what is the basis for this and how reliable it is? Can I plan based on this? Are there any exceptions to this?

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't plan based on it. It was right for me and several of my friends and family, but its been wrong for plenty of people as well. Its really just for fun just like all those old wives tales such as dangling a wedding ring over your belly. There is actually no 100% accurate way to know if you are having a boy or girl. I had a co-worker who was told by ultrasound that she was having a girl and what do you know, out popped a boy. It happens all the time. The best way to do it is wait until the baby is born. Its a wonderful surprise, enjoy it.

      And by the way... It doesn't go by the child's birth date but the mothers age at conception and the date of conception.

What Should Be In Your Child's Preschool Curriculum? What Should Be In Your Child's Preschool Curriculum?

Boston-area parents in search of preschools in Brookline or Brookline daycare centers offering a preschool program, might be surprised to discover how many different l curriculums there are for this age group. Some of the better-known preschool curriculums include Montessori and Reggio Emilia, but most preschools and daycare centers in Brookline tend to use a combination of curriculum models in their classrooms.

With each curriculum model having a different style of learning associated with it and variations of these models being used by preschools in Brookline, the question becomes how do parents determine which Brookline preschool curriculum is best for their child? The answer is that it really depends on your childs learning style, temperament, age, developmental stage and your parenting philosophy.

What is the Purpose of a Preschool Curriculum?

While curriculums vary in terms of activities, learning, and teaching methods, the goals of the curriculum for preschoolers are essentially the same. Whether your child attends a Brookline daycare center with an age-appropriate program or one of Brooklines preschools, programs for this age strive to enhance the social, intellectual, emotional, and cognitive development of the child.

What Should a Preschool Curriculum Include?

A typical preschool curriculum used in a Brookline childcare center, preschool or family daycare in Brookline will include activities that increase language and literary skills, as well as prepare children for math and science. Basic activities that foster these skills include identifying sizes, shapes, colors, and words, In addition, activities that focus upon developing the ability to recognize patterns and sequences in the form of numbers, shapes or letters should always be part of a preschool curriculum.

Enriched programs for Brookline preschool children will include reading stories, drawing pictures, writing practice and telling stories aloud. These activities may seem like play but in fact, they prepare children for reading and strengthen their language skills. Given that much learning for older children requires a solid foundation in reading and language skills, parents should ascertain this is included in the curriculum used by their Brookline preschool program.

In addition, family daycare in Brookline for preschoolers should also foster early math skills such as counting, recognizing patterns, shapes and categories. In some cases, children may even be introduced to the concept of telling time.

When evaluating a programs curriculum, there is one thing to keep in mind. Regardless of the Brookline preschool program you choose, the activities presented to the children should be engaging and provide ample opportunities to learn and masters skills upon which a lifetime of learning may be built.

    Chinese calendar for gender of the baby?
    Hi

    I heard from many people that chinese calendar can be used to predict the gender of the baby.

    I checked for Chinese calendar in the net. I got 2 or 3 versions of it.

    Can any one please send me the link of the real chinese calendar?

    Thanks in Advance
    shoba

    • ANSWER:
      www.parents.com from what I hear is the most commonly used. As for accuracy, well that's another thing. My first 2 were correct, however my 3rd is wrong according to my u/s. Than again, my 3rd is still swimming in my belly. Perhaps the Chinese calendar will be correct and my ultrasound is wrong?

      Either way, speaking to family and friends it does seem like the calendar is correct more time than it is wrong.

      Good luck to you!

    • ANSWER:
      The timing when you have a sex is the key factor to choose the gender of your baby.

      All the best.

  41. QUESTION:
    Has anyone else used the Chinese gender calendar to find out the sex of their baby?
    I know you cant tell until your ultra sound. I just thought I would ask mothers or fathers out there if they used this and How accurate it was. I never heard of this until I read someones question on here. And was just curious I know for it says 99 and another says its 90% accurate. I would believe more like 50% But I was just curious Of how many people There gender was correct if they used this??? Mine says girl, I kinda want a girl :) But I know its 50/50.
    Just curious! My ultra sound is in 2 1/2 weeks to find out!
    so far sounds like the opposite of what the calendar says :(
    Well the plain calendar says girl. The one with the link Sonya gave me says boy for the date i think i conceived on but if i go by last menstrual period it says girl! Ah well it passes the time to guess :)
    I used this one http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    and the one you stated the abovefloor something like that.
    I used this one http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

    and the one you stated the abovefloor something like that.

    • ANSWER:
      The gender chart was accurate for me. I found a website where you actually put in your birth date to calculate the age and month, which was more accurate. The regular chart showed me as having a boy, but the more specific formula showed me as having a girl. I did indeed have a girl.

      The Chinese gender chart uses lunar ages and lunar months. So even though I conceived my first child at 22, my lunar age was 23. So I didn't initially know that I was looking at the wrong age.

      http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/CAge2.htm is the website I used. I'd be interested to see if the other posters have a different result using this.

      OOps... I put the wrong link. Here ya go.
      http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm

  42. QUESTION:
    How do you read the Chinese Gender Calendar?
    Some Chinese Calendars say, start with your current age, and month at conception, and some say age when the baby is born, and conception? Which is true? That's what confuses me when I want to read the calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to make sure you are doing it right- since it is a chinese gender prediction chart you need to use your chinese age-

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  43. QUESTION:
    I was wondering.. has anyone done the chinese lunar calendar to detect the gender of your baby.?

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for both of my children. a girl now 2 and a boy 6 1/2 weeks

      try this one too...it was right as well http://www.childbirth.org/articles/boyorgirl.html

  44. QUESTION:
    i would like to view chinese calendar to figure out future gender of a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      You can find them on the internet. I wouldn't hold much stock in them though. I looked just for grins and giggles. Told me I would have a girl and my friend would have a boy. Guess it just got confused, hehe.

  45. QUESTION:
    Were old wives tales right for predicting your baby's gender?
    I have taken several old wives tale quizzes toward predicting my baby's gender. Also checked the Chinese Calendar. They all point the same way, but of course I know they aren't grounded in science.

    What has been your experience with these? Were they right or not right in predicting your baby's gender?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, so far, the chinese calender and most of the old wives tales have pointed towards a girl for me, I have had a feeling it was a girl since I was about 8 weeks along! even when people said, oh i think you are having a boy, I felt that it wasnt quite right for some reason lol. I had a scan the other day, which looked very girly, I even posted pictures onto www.in-gender.co.uk who all say its a girl (there are qualified sonographers on that site). I have a gender scan on sunday to find out for sure what Im having. Cant wait!!

      Congratulatons, I wish you the best of luck xxxxxxx

      EDIT - found out today that the old wives tales are right, Im having a baby girl!!!! :D

    What are some good PC games for women?
    Hello all- I am looking for a good PC game for women. I am thirty years old and I love gaming but it seems like it is near impossible to find something good for women. I will describe the things I like and hopefully you can help me out because this pregnant lady needs something to do. I do not like the shoot em' up games like Halo (my hubbies favorite game) becaues I suck at them and they are just not any fun to me. I do not like stupid girl games like the little restaurant server games where they get really old really fast. I do not like games that are to easy because I like a little bit of a challenge. I really like inter-active games and games that you can play on-line with other people. Games that I have enjoyed playing in the past are:
    Grand Theft Auto
    Bully
    Super Mario Brothers
    CSI

    I like games that have a story line and sort of give you mysteries that you have to solve. Help me out people! I need something to do!
    Sorry I also like games that have a plot......no sims or game show games :)

    • ANSWER:
      I'm a female gamer and I consider gaming as an entertaining challenge.
      Hence, these are my favourites:

      According to my opinion games aren't the best medium to tell stories, hence I suggest these:

  26. QUESTION:
    Is anyone else pregnant and ready to kill their husband?
    I swear if my husband comes out of today alive he should be deemed the luckiest man on earth!!!

    Not only did I get NO sleep last night, not a single minute, because he was moving around so much and FARTING all night long...but he also feels the needs to be a complete douchbag today. When we put our 2yr old son down for his nap I asked if I could have a nap (since I didn't sleep last night) and it was fine so I went and laid down. Next thing you know hubby turns on the playstation! The living room is right outside our bedroom door, and even with the door shut all I can hear is the "click click click" of him pressing the buttons on the controller. It was one of those games where you have to press one button really fast repeatedly. This is surprisingly loud. I am one of those people who needs complete silence to fall asleep, and he knows this. So after 2 hours of trying to have a nap I decide to just get up since our son would be up any minute. I walk out into the living room to find that hubby didn't even bother to pick up before he turned his game on. The living room had toys and art supplies (hubby was painting) all over the place still! I spent all day Saturday cleaning my butt off when I am supposed to be on limited activity bed rest!!!! And he can't even bother to pick up???? Now, he has 2 friends over and they are outside working on their bikes. My hubby left the tool closet open and our son keeps getting into it. I have asked him to put what he isn't using away and close up the closet. Only after our son getting into it 600 more times and me asking him a little less nicely does he close it. All while giving me this angered look like I am some psycho b*tch for asking him to put some tools away and close the door so our son doesn't get hurt! Gaaahhhhh ....I know I am pregnant (31 weeks) and hormonal, but I swear he is just like clueless today.

    Anybody else have days like this? Please tell me all about it!

    Sorry I just needed to vent a little :)
    haha no I have not considered leaving. This is not how he always is...I think some days he just wakes up without common sense. MOST of the time he is amazing!
    LOL at some of these answers.

    Just for the record, cleaning up would have taken all of 5 mins. It was just picking up toys and putting his art supplies away, it's not like he'd be clanking the whole time I was trying to nap.

    No I don't expect him to sit in silence when I nap. He knows my issue with the play station. He could have been doing a lot of other quiet things, like finishing up his artwork if he wanted, doing his thing on the computer, he could have gone out skateboarding since he ALWAYS bugs to do this at the most inopportune times.

    We have a very good relationship and we are pretty good at communicating...its just one of those days today when I could kill him haha. This is NOT how things are very often.

    It was just really important to me today to have that nap, and he knew that, he even told me to have a nap earlier in the day. He knows how tired I was today.

    • ANSWER:
      OMG, I just HAVE to laugh! I had one of these days today too, and thought about putting a "vent" question on Y!A too! LOL! Honestly, I feel for you though. When you don't get any sleep, you're pregnant and hormonal, taking care of a toddler, and doing e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g else, sometimes you just want to pull your hair out! It's like your hub doesn't get it; it's that simple! He just doesn't get it!

      I tell ya, this past week has been horrendous over here. My husband has been on call and he does IT, so when he gets the calls at night, he has to get up, go on his work computer, and fix the problem. Well, the first three nights, we got called 23 times!!! Yes, 23 times!!! That's 8 times two nights and 7 times another! Needless to say, my husband is a heavy sleeper, so he has his phone on SO loud and, OF COURSE, Hayden and I hear it. Nothing like having a 21 month old who gets woken up 8 times a night. Ugh... It makes for looong nights and even looonger days, so it seems.

      We really do have a great relationship, just like you and your man. You get along, communicate well, have the same goals, want the same for your family, and so on. But, sometimes I just don't feel we're on the same wavelength. I absolutely wanted to ring his neck this morning. He's like "Hurry, it's 8am and I have to leave for work in 30 minutes! Get in the shower!" So, what did I do? Shower in 10 minutes, throw up my hair, throw the first thing I could find on, and run out to watch our son so he could shower. WHAT DOES HE DO? Decide to take 45 minutes in the shower and go in at 9am instead! I was like WTF?! Don't you make me rush when you're going to dilly dally and head in later on (he doesn't HAVE to be there at anytime, he just LIKES to be there early). Seriously, I almost flipped a lid. He apologized though and understood where I was coming from though, after I explained it to him. Nonetheless, I was still quite heated about it. Ugh... Ah well... We're allowed our moments I guess! They happen in all relationships I'm sure.

      Hope things ease up a bit. :o )

    • ANSWER:

  32. QUESTION:
    In the video game F.E.A.R 2 why did Alma want to become pregnant by Michael Beckett?
    It seems a bit random when you think about it. Unlike the first game where Alma was just haunting the main characters footsteps, in the F.E.A.R. 2 you get this notion that Alma has a hatred for Michael Breckett due to him being connected to Alma through some form. She is far more violent in the second game, showering the game with with blood every chance she got. Suddenly, when you think things would get far more disturbing she decides at the end of the game that she is going to rape Breckett and become pregnant which is just plain random. She was hardly out of the vault in the first game and had only been connected to Breckett for a short time so where did her interest in him come from, an interest so sudden (and correct me if I am wrong, romantic) that it made her want to screw a man that was all but raped while tied to a chair? It makes you wonder. She already had two babies so is this some sort of fetish or obsession to Alma where she wants to have children due to her past? I read on wiped that her romantic tension between herself and Breckett is due to the fact that she does not realize that she is a woman with woman's feelings and needs, but that seems a little too arbitrary to the reason when it is a known fact that humans around the time they are fourteen develop said feelings and needs, the difference is that she was in no way or form in her existence put into a position to encounter or experience these feelings with other people. She was not put with other teens or men who she could fall for. And due to her history you would think that she would be more cautious before giving into feelings and emotions that she has no idea on how to show, yet she still gives in and ends up becoming pregnant by someonee she has only just met.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the game since it takes many aspects I like in a first person shooter like this, those being suspense, horror, blood, action and forgive me, sexual tension. All I really want to figure out is how things could progress like they did.

    What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      i agree with you, but i dont think Alma had a hatred for Becket. There was a part were she pinned him to the wall, and she smiled saying something, but I cant remember what it was. and remember that one soldier who lost his mind was trying to kill him saying"Why does she want you"
      I think Alma's intentions were evil, and that her baby will have both Alma's and Beckets abilities, he may even become some sort of antichrist figure(he might revolve around the war Fetell was dreaming about)
      Anyways, I think Becket is screwed,and the sequel is setting up for the pointman to take on alma and whatever evil might be in her womb
      -I also hope they make an expansion

  33. QUESTION:
    some questions i have?
    question 1: i have bad acne and i don't feel pretty i feel ugly i don't know what to do ( am 13 years old in 7th grade)

    question 2: what are some online games where you can get pregnant or raise babies i know all the sims, second life, imvu, virtual villagers, virtual family, babydow, baby valley ect.

    • ANSWER:
      There are several different things you can do for acne, but this is honestly the best I've found to do.

      1: When you wake up, wash your face with no-fragrance soap. Rinse. Wash your face AGAIN.
      --What this does: The first wash rinses surface grease off your skin, the second removes dirt from underneath the grease.

      2: Find an oil free moisturizer and gently apply it to your face. Green tea moisturizers are good, gel moisturizers are good. Just make sure that it is oil free.
      --What this does: If you wash your face and let it dry out, your skin will produce more oil to re-moisturize your face and it will clog your pores.

      3: Buy a spot treatment. I personally like Clearasil 4 hour spot treatment.
      --What this does: If you're getting a pimple, pop that stuff on and it will help immensely.

      Try to drink more water. Touch your face less. Don't wear tons of make up. (especially in 7th grade!) Don't eat a lot of greasy foods. Healthy diet = Healthy skin.

      A good once a week exfoliation mask (something that scrubs away dead skin cells and lets new skin shine through) is this:

      Get two aspirin pills. Uncoated aspirin is best. Not ibuprofen, not advil, ASPIRIN. Okay. Put the two uncoated aspirin pills on a plate and put a tiny drop of water on each of them. (enough to get them wet, but don't drown them) Set aside.
      Get organic honey and put about a tablespoon onto the plate. When the aspirin has dissolved (and by dissolved, I mean it'll look like tiny little chunks, kind of like wet white sand) mix it into the honey. Wash your face twice like I said before, and rub the honey/aspirin mixture onto your face. move your fingers in circles and let it gently scrub your skin. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse it off.
      --What this does: Aspirin is an anti inflammatory medicine and will help the swelling of your acne. Honey is an antioxidant and anti bacterial, and will get deep into your skin and suck out all the bad gunk that's stuck in your pores.

  35. QUESTION:
    Can anyone identify the PC game where you are in charge of a Scandinavian village?
    I used to play a game on the computers at school. This was around 2001 or 2002. It was a strategy game where you were in charge of a Scandinavian village and had to take charge of things like trade and agriculture, as well as settling various cases that were brought to you; these were presented as a story of what has happened (eg someone's got an unmarried girl pregnant/there's been a murder) and a list of options. I really want to find this game again but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Can anyone help me?
    It's not Anno or Patrician. Thanks for having a try, though.

    Any other ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      sounds like Patrician to me
      there is also a lot of sailing involved around the Hanse and you can get other villages to add to your collection

  37. QUESTION:
    Pregnant- am i crazy or is this normal?
    I'm 6 months pregnant and have become jealous! My husband gets home from work and heads straight to his computer to play this online game where you can talk to other people on a microphone or on the game- its called wow. Anyway he gets straight on the game and starts talking to people on the microphone and game and he keeps talking to this one girl on the mic and game. I told him I'm jealous and he says I am being selfish because I never got this jealous before my pregnancy. I just want him to talk to me and stop talking to this chick! He says she has a husband but it still fumes me! Does this jealousy thing happen to anyone else or am I just crazy? Lol

    • ANSWER:
      you aren't being selfish one bit, HE is...
      you cant control your hormones, mood swings or jealousy - it's all a part of pregnancy. it can also make you more possessive, paranoid, stressed out over little things...
      believe me, i've been there.
      you can't help it, it's part of pregnancy. tell your hubbby he needs to understand that and respect how you feel or just shut up lol, it's not like he has to carry around a giant baby everywhere, and go through the pain of birth. he gets it easy, and should be doing what YOU need and want - to an extent.
      congrats =]

    English speakers, could you check this translation? It’s really important and urgent, please?
    Hi friends! I’m from Spain.
    I wrote a response to my British friends.
    As you know, the automatic translators are useful but never as good as the advice of a native speaker. I respect your language enough that maybe you could copy and paste this message and help me correct my grammar and style mistakes. Please make it sound more grammatical and fluent.
    Thank you.

    "John, I admire your sense of transgression. I admire that you wear a pink tie and a pink belt; not only because it is cool but also because it could mean violating an absurd social norm: that the colour is associated with sexuality.
    I admire your capacity for criticism, your open-mindedness, but here you are following the herd of sheep. You are not being free and critical; you're behaving as the common of people.

    It's not ‘2 Girls 1 Cup’ which surprises me, but that my adorable friend John participates on this senseless and crass game in which laughter, as a reaction, not only represents a defence mechanism but principally means 'acceptance'. I'm not saying that you accept the fact as such, but you are giving your consent to what people can get to do. I am not referring to the two girls, but the entire entertainment industry behind it.

    This entertainment industry has only one purpose: money. They are not interested in the psychological damage that it can cause in people and the damage in society as a generational unit. This industry is one of those responsible for shutting down, day by day, the sensitivity of people.

    The most aberrant facts like riding on a skateboard and fracturing a leg and laughing at this; as the extreme violence in video games where we can kill a pregnant woman with the same pleasure as in the 'old world' we jumped on an innocent fungus.
    All these elements are considered a natural fact of entertainment.

    Why do people laugh at this? Why do they consider these as acts of entertainment? It is because they are objects of manipulation.

    For that reason, the video doesn't surprise me, I'm surprised that you don't judge this with your critical view. I'm not surprised on the fact that these people eat poo. I'm more surprised and saddened because you are taking this fact as if you were a piece, functional to the system.

    You are not immoral, John. You're a sensitive person. I think the same about Brian. You both are very good persons and for this reason I'm concern."

      The most aberrant facts like riding on a skateboard and fracturing a leg and laughing at this; as the extreme violence in video games where we can kill a pregnant woman with the same pleasure whereas in the 'old world' we jumped on an innocent fungus.
      All these elements are considered a natural fact of entertainment.

      Why do people laugh at this? Why do they consider these as acts of entertainment? It is because they are objects of manipulation.

      For that reason, the video doesn't surprise me, I'm surprised that you don't judge this with your critical view. I'm not surprised on the fact that these people eat poo. I'm more surprised and saddened because you are taking this fact as if you were a piece, functional to the system.

      You are not immoral, John. You're a sensitive person. I think the same about Brian. You both are very good people and for this reason I'm concerned."

  40. QUESTION:
    English speakers, could you check this short translation? It’s really urgent, please?
    Hi friends! I’m from Spain.
    I wrote a response to my British friends.
    As you know, the automatic translators are useful but never as good as the advice of a native speaker. I respect your language enough that maybe you could copy and paste this message and help me correct my grammar and style mistakes. Please make it sound more grammatical and fluent.
    Thank you.

    "John, I admire your sense of transgression. I admire that you use a pink tie and a pink belt; not only because it is cool but also because it could mean violating an absurd social norm: that the colour is associated with sexuality.
    I admire your capacity for criticism, your open-mindedness, but here you are following the herd of sheep. You are not being free and critical; you're behaving as the common of people.

    It's not that video which surprises me, but that my friend John participates on this senseless and crass game in which laughter as a reaction not only represents a defence mechanism but above all means 'acceptance'. Not accept the fact as such, but to give concessions to what people can get to do. I am not referring to the two girls, but the entire entertainment industry behind it.

  45. QUESTION:
    I can't believe what I found on a children website...how does stuff like this make sense for children?
    I had just found a website that looked like it was aimed at girls, it has a collection of flash dress up games and other things that a young female audience would enjoy. So I figured that my daughter and I could play the games together (she's only 3 but they had the Disney Fairies and she likes to play dress up with dolls). I of course went through many of the games looking for stuff that suited her age and my taste. When what should come SCREAMING off the page as I glanced at a listing of games...

    "Sweet MOM to be" dress up game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    http://dressupmix.com/Free-Dressup-Games/Dressup/Sweet-Mom-To-Be.html

    I of course thought that it had to be a typo or something else then what I thought it was, so I tried it out. NO typo there- it's actually a game where you can 'dress up' a pregnant (she doesn't look like a woman- she looks like a TEENAGER) person. You can even change the backgrounds- one is the outside of a building with HOSPITAL written on the front and the other is a GYN examination room. I was more than appalled that this kind of thing would EVER be considered a good idea for a game. I started looking around the site for more information, so I followed the "For Advertisers" link and found that they provide this information for their perspective advertisement.

    Our resource visits more than 1.5 million girls monthly at the age from 7 till 21 years, spending on a site more than 12 minutes for a session.

    Our audience:
    Girl's age:
    From 7 till 12 years - 15 %
    From 13 till 17 years - 75 %
    From 18 till 21 years - 10 %

    Appropriate Ad Categories:
    Entertainment, Beauty&Personal Care, Shopping, Lifestyle, Food &Nonalcoholic beverages, Games&Toys, Online communities, Sports, Education.
    (At least the scan advertisers before they put them up...but apparently games do not get such a rigorous screening.)

    Is it just me? Am I getting old? Is it just because I'm a teacher and I had my daughter later in life that I find this inappropriate? Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    "I remember pretending to be pregnant and playing with dolls until 13! It was so fun to me, not that I would actually get pregnant at that age, It was all in fun. "

    Yeah I remember one of my friends wanting nothing more than to be pregnant- I think she was 11 when she started saying things like that. Unfortunately she WAS pregnant by 14.

    You know normally I would say "it's just a game" but this isn't a site that promotes this as a make believe game. They have other games that have babies (not pregnancy) like Mother Daughter Club, Super Mom, and even Super Dad- but all of those characters in the games LOOK older.

    • ANSWER:
      I took a quick glance at it but I'm not surprised.

      A lot of sites like this are around.

      If you go to - http://www.commonsensemedia.org/ you'll see a lot of sites aimed at kids are clearly inappropriate.

      What is worse though is a lot of babysitters, nannies, or grandparents will trust the kid friendly looking sites. They will think it is ok & safe.

      This is where a parent needs to do their job and teach their kids what is safe or not stop.

Gender Baby Pregnancy

Which Parent Determines The Baby's Gender Or Sex? Here's Why Both The Mother And The Father Do
I have a couple of blogs that support parents who are trying to chose their baby's gender. One of the more common questions that I am asked "what determines the sex of the baby," or "does the father or the mother determine the baby's sex or gender?" I will answer these questions in this article as well as tell you how you can use the answers to your advantage to conceive the gender that you want.

So, Who (Or What)Exactly Influences Or Determines If You Will Have A Boy Or A Girl Baby?: There are actually a lot of influences that go into your baby's gender. And, I will discuss all of them. But, the most persuasive is the chromosomes found in the father-to-be's sperm. A man's sperm contains both X and Y chromosomes. These little guys fight and race to the mother-to-be's egg. If the Y win out, then the pregnancy will result in a son. But, if the X emerges victorious, the result will be a daughter. So, the father is very important in gender selection.

Varying Characteristics Or X And Y Sperm That Comes From The Baby's Father: So, now we know that these X and Y chromosomes are the runners in the gender selection marathon. These both come from the baby's father. And they act very differently,but we don't know anything about their personalities. Well, the boy sperm is by far the faster of the two. But, there is also a downside to this. Because of it's speed, it crashes and burns rather quickly and can not survive in the vaginal tract for very long.

The girl sperm is extremely strong, hardy, and long lived. But, the flip side to this is that they are oh so slow. If all things were equal and the boys got to race the girl sperm on the day that both were equal and healthy, the boy sperm would likely win. But nature doesn't always work this way. Different days in your fertility cycle, what you eat, what you douche with, and the sexual positions you conceive with can all influence which of these chromosomes fertilize the egg first.

How Conceiving On Different Days Of The Mother's Fertility Cycle Helps Determine Your Baby's Gender: So we've talked about the dad's contribution. Now, let's talk about mom's. There is about a five day period in every woman's menstrual cycle when she is the most likely to become pregnant. It's important that you are able to predict exactly when you ovulate if you're trying to choose your baby's gender. I like ovulation predictors for this, but prefer saliva as I find them more reliable. If you conceive around three days before your ovulation date, this favors having a baby girl because the length of time that the sperm is waiting around encourages the boy or Y sperm to die off before conception can occur. Likewise, if you wait to conceive until the day of ovulation, this will favor a boy as it allows the faster or the two swimmers to be healthy and virile in the race to the race.

HowTheMother's DietDiet And Acidity Can Influence Your Baby's Sex: There are recent surveys that have come out to indicate that women who consume breakfast, potassium, and a higher amount of calories are slightly more likely to conceive a boy. But, this really doesn't give enough information. The reason for the diet changes are to make your body either more or less acidic (or a higher or lower PH). This is because the boy sperm can't withstand a high PH (so if you're trying for a girl baby, you should raise your PH and you should lower it if you want a boy.) A way to make this process easier is to test yourself with PH test strips before you try to make any changes. This will keep you from having to guess your way. So, in this way, the mother is just important as the father in gender selection.

You raise and lower your PH by either going on a high or low PH diet and / or douching with the appropriate solutions based on whether you are naturally acidic or alkaline. There are food list and recipes to help you with this.

How You Conceive Can Also Determine Your Baby's Gender: Another way to manipulate your baby's sex is how you conceive. Sexual positions that encourage shallow penetration favors a girl (the boy sperm has too long of a trip) while deep penetration is more likely to get you a male baby.

For Best Results, Don't Do This Half Way: I often see couples believe that gender selection if out of their hands, but I don't think this is so. You just have to be very methodical about each parent's contribution.

So often, I see couples isolate one of these variables and go all out with only one or a few. This will increase your chances slightly. But to get your chances as high as 90%, you'll need to address all of these things. This doesn't need to be hard. Just use the tools meant to make it easier (ovulation predictors, PH strips, food list, douche recipes) and get yourself a good calendar, use it, and plan well in advance and accordingly. I promise it's not as hard as you think and it will certainly be worth it in the end.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender. You'll find step by step instructions, resources, douche recipes and food lists, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How to guess a baby's gender during pregnancy?
    I wish to have boy baby,is there any test to guess baby gender during my pregnancy

    • ANSWER:
      There are tons!

      You can do:
      Chinese gender prediction calendar: http://content.thebump.com/sitelets/chinese-gender-chart/
      The pee test: http://www.intelligender.com/home.html
      The wedding ring test: http://www.babygenderprediction.com/needle-gender-prediction.html

      I did all of these and all resulted in boy. My ultrasound at 18 weeks confirmed it! :-)

  2. QUESTION:
    Old wives tales and 'urban' legends surrounding pregnancy, gender of the baby etc?
    I have heard of some legends and rumours surrounding pregnancy and the gender of the baby - just today, my aunt and my grandmother were guessing the gender of the baby I'm having by the food I'm craving (which is mainly chocolate and anything savoury - especially rashers for some odd reason).
    As well I have heard of even an astrological way of determining the gender of the baby, from the sign the moon was in at the time of conception - which proves harder than it sounds, as it's hard to say when you actually concieve.

    I would love to hear more of those legends, as I love to hear them either way, and maybe to figure out what gender the baby would be. So far everyone, including myself, is convinced it would be a girl.
    this is only for entertainment purposes, i don't put faith in it

    • ANSWER:
      The biggest two that i have heard and held true for my first one is the food cravings, salty foods for boys, sweet foods for girls. Then also the heartbeat. If the heartbeat is higher then 140, usually in the 150-160 range it is a girl and if it is lower then 140 it is a boy.

  10. QUESTION:
    see baby gender better at 30 weeks pregnancy?
    I went to do a ultrasound at 25 weeks pregnancy, but the doctor couldnt check the gender cuz the baby got her legs crossed, now I am 30 weeks pregnant will a now see the baby gender clearly or the baby will cross the legs agian? and I am due 14 aug, does it mean that I will give birth excact on that day ? or it could be earlier or later ?

    • ANSWER:
      Babies are changing their position all the time. He or she will have probably crossed and uncrossed their legs about a hundred times in the last 5 weeks. Hopefully they'll be more cooperative for you this time around and you'll get to find out.

      Your 'due date' is actually an *estimated* due date (EDD). Anything from 3 weeks before that to 2 weeks after that is considered a healthy time to have the baby. That's a 5 week span that you could potentially have your baby in. The chances of you having your baby on your exact EDD is about 5%. If this is your first, then you are more likely to go a bit beyond your EDD (average is 5 days beyond for first pregnancies). Your doctor won't let you reach 42 weeks though - most will induce you at 41w 5d because it's not good to let them stay in there 42 weeks or longer as the placenta starts to break down and they don't always get everything they need.

      Good luck!

  11. QUESTION:
    Moms, how was your libido affected during pregnancy, and what was the gender of your baby?
    I asked a question before about libido during pregnancy and it seemed split down the middle. Half the women had no interest and half the women noted said they had an increase in sexual desire.

    I started wondering what the baby's gender was in relation to a rise or drop in sexual tendencies during pregnancy, so.... did you have more or less interest in sex during pregnancy and did you have a boy or a girl.

    I'm an expectant father and I'm writing a book and blog http://blog.almostadad.com for expectant fathers on living with and caring for pregnant women.

    Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I just read a question here about what gender the mother thought her baby would be, and what it turned out to be... and it got me thinking:

  14. QUESTION:
    Are pregnancy symptoms different depending on gender of baby?
    I have had 3 little girls and all my symptoms were the same with them. I am ow pregnant with my 4th child and in the ultrasound it looked like a boy but that was at 12 weeks so we aren't sure. I am now 20 weeks pg. I am more nauseous than I was with my girls and my boobs have been sore the whole time so I was wondering if the symptoms are different depending on the gender of the baby
    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Nope, there are no gender-specific symptoms. Some people say there symptoms are exactly the same with both, some have different symptoms, and some have totally different symptoms with the same gender every time.

  15. QUESTION:
    Would you find out the gender of your baby during your pregnancy?
    I think for Baby 1, I would want it to be a surprise. But for baby 2, I might find out.

    • ANSWER:
      I didn't find out on baby 1 .But the doctor wrote it down on a little peice of paper incase I want to know and my fiancée looked and bought all pink stuff for our baby girl :)
      I'm 8 weeks pregnant with baby 2 only 3 months after baby 1 (My baby girl Violet ) I know very soon but Im going to love my babies no matter what :)

  16. QUESTION:
    Is it true that doing certain things in the early stages of pregnancy can affect what gender the baby is?
    I know that the gender of the baby generally depends on the genetics of the paternal side, but might the things you consume or other variables affect what gender the baby is?

    • ANSWER:
      Are you serious?? No, nothing determines the baby's sex except the father's sperm. Nothing.

  17. QUESTION:
    Mums with PUPPPs in pregnancy - what gender baby did you deliver?
    Some sites say that more boys are delivered to Mum's with PUPPPs, others say this is unproven. My wife has it right now, so I know how uncomfortable it can be. But I was wondering if this means we'll be having a boy.

    • ANSWER:
      Not necessarily, I had Puppps and I had a girl. It all depends. I looked into Puppps when I was pregnant and that is what it said but only 70% of the women gave birth to boys. It has been shown that male fetal DNA can be found in skin biopsies of the rash, so a new hypothesis is that male fetal DNA acts as a skin irritant.Therefore they say women who have Puppps will have boys.
      After the baby is born the itching does stop as well as the skin irritation and eruptions.
      I hope whatever you get boy or girl that it is healthy and what you wanted. By the way this does not affect the baby.
      Hope this helps you.

  18. QUESTION:
    Can we Identify the gender of the baby during pregnancy but not through scanning?

    • ANSWER:
      only with an amniocentesis. If you're speaking of a non-invasive technique, then no. You can only follow old wives tales, which really tell nothing.

  19. QUESTION:
    What symptoms did you have during pregnancy, and what gender was the baby?
    Just for fun, what were your pregnancy symptoms.how did you gain weight?. and was it a boy or girl? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:

  20. QUESTION:
    I heard there is a procedure done to change a baby's gender during pregnancy. Is this true?
    Im not pregnant and I WILL NEVER do anything like that, but I am just curious to know if this is something thats possiable.

    • ANSWER:
      The gender is already determined at the time of conception, even though the right "parts" don't exactly develop for a while. So, no it cannot be done.

      Even if it was possible, I cannot believe anyone could do such a thing.

  21. QUESTION:
    When will u b able to know the gender of the baby during pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:

  22. QUESTION:
    Symptoms of pregnancy related to baby gender?
    I know almost everything that is said is a wives tale such as, the morning sickness, the way your carrying, heart rate, ect. All pregnancys are different. But I noticed almost all women who have had girls claim they had bad breakouts, gained weight everywhere, and felt aweful. And women who had boys claim to have some sort of glow.. lol.. so now im just wondering if any women out there expirenced anything different than that.

    please share what happend with you, and what sex was your baby. (:

    • ANSWER:
      I've felt beyond awful the whole pregnancy and haven't gotten the so-called glow. I'm having a boy. I have mostly gained in my belly but I've seen women with girls do that as well.

  23. QUESTION:
    Are there any little early pregnancy symptoms that are indicative of what gender baby you're carrying?
    If you have two children of opposite sex, did you notice anything different when you were carrying your boy?

    • ANSWER:

  24. QUESTION:
    Do you think how miserable your pregnancy is will relate to your baby's gender or personality? Or labor?
    I had a horrible, nauseaus, vomiting, uncomfortable pregnancy with my son. However, my labor was quick (for being induced), and my son has the most perfect, laid-back personality. Do you think its just an old wives tale that a hard pregnancy means easy baby, and vice versa?

    • ANSWER:
      My story is exactly the same. Had to be hospitalised as I was so ill at the start. My labour was only 5 hrs ( i was induced too) and my daughter is so laid back. But her Dad is as well, so she probably gets it from him..

  25. QUESTION:
    Is there a link between pregnancy cravings and the gender of your baby?
    Is it true that when your pregnant with a boy you generally crave sweeter foods? Did you have a taste for sweet or savoury foods while pregnant? And what was the sex of your baby?

    • ANSWER:
      At the beginning I craved tomato sauce, everything had to e covered in tomato sauce, even my cerial and grapes! Then one day I woke up and couldn't face it. I then had a thing for mint chocolate and had to bake a batch of mint choc cupcakes every day! And I ate a lot of mint aeros! I had a boy.

      Randomly enough we were talking about cravings at work on Friday and Leisa said she had the mint choc craving from the start and that's all she really ate, espically mint choc chip icecream, she had a little girl.

      Unfortunalty I don't think there is any indication on sex of baby from cravings.

      Xx

  26. QUESTION:
    Are your pregnancy symptoms consistant with your GenderMaker baby gender prediction test results?
    My mother is telling me that the way my belly is shaped, the foods im craving, and my mood all point to me having a boy. I took my GenderMaker test today and it stated that I am going to have a girl. I read the reviews and almost all are positive. Do all these "old-wives" tales work for you all or should I trust GenderMaker?

    • ANSWER:
      I took the Gender test with all three of my kids......They were right for all three!!! I love those test and believe in them very much!!!!

      I dont believe in old wives tales. I broke out with all three of my kids...The old wives tales says it you have a girl she will stela your beauty so you will break out..I think I broke out more with my son than I did with my girl...I am also carrying my son very high and I carried my girls low....none of the old wives tales were right for me!!!!

      The one thing that did also work for all three of my babies was the string trick...I used my wedding band and a strand of my hair and held it above my belly.....If it went in a cirlce it was a girl a straight line was a boy....that worked!!!

      Good luck!!!

  27. QUESTION:
    does having a low pregnancy hormone in early pregnancy indicate the gender of the baby?
    i had a positive hpt a week before my period was due with both my older children - both boys.

    with this pregnancy i didn't get a positive until 6weeks along! wondering why...

    • ANSWER:
      no

  28. QUESTION:
    in which week of pregnancy , the gender of the baby can be confirm accurately?
    and are all scan results 100% accurate to know the gender

    • ANSWER:
      23 weeks I wanna say. At 18 my son wouldn't show the goods so we had to wait for the better scan. But still even then they are not for sure unless you see it. Unltrasounds are really good now days. You can even get a 3d/4d scan to get a better look. Good luck and congratulations.

      As long s/he is healthy, it shouldnt matter.

  31. QUESTION:
    Can we chose the gender of our choice of baby before pregnancy/birth or not?
    Or only abortion is the solution?
    I have seen ads. in newspaper saying that you will have the baby with gender of your own choice.

    My husband wont b abel to b there since hes doing alot of ovetime at work. He wants me to surprise him any ideas how to reveal my baby gender? Also what else should I expect at the anatomy ultradound? Thanks

    • ANSWER:

  33. QUESTION:
    What foods did you crave during pregnancy and what was the gender of your baby?
    I know that no two pregnancies are alike and I'm kinda surprised at how different this baby is compared to Chase. I craved meats+ potatoes and lemonade with Chase. With this baby I'm craving fruits and orange juice.

    BQ: How many of you craved fruits and actually had a girl?

    • ANSWER:
      i craved anything sweet. tones of fresh fruit, candy, cake. i didnt really want anything salty, and couldnt stand meat at all. im having a girl.

  34. QUESTION:
    How accurate were the old wive's tales for pregnancy in determining your baby's gender?
    Such as:
    no morning sickness=boy
    sweet cravings=girl
    basketball belly=boy

    • ANSWER:
      Any of the old wife's tale have a 50/50 chance of being right (the same as just guessing yourself). None of them are accurate, just are fun.

  35. QUESTION:
    How far along in a pregnancy can you determine the gender of the baby?
    I am 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant as of today. I was just wondering when I can find out what I will be having. I have had no complications so far, and i am really excited on knowing what my baby will be!!

    • ANSWER:
      I got to find out the gender at around 20 weeks. I think they can sometimes tell early, but will normally schedule the gender ultrasound between 18-20 weeks, so that any parts can be more clearly identifiable.

  36. QUESTION:
    Does your sex drive during pregnancy correlate with the gender of your baby?
    I've spoken with different women (both in person and online) and the consensus seems to be that the women who were pregnant with girls didn't even want their husband to look at them, much less touch them, and the women who were pregnant with boys were climbing the walls and tearing their hair out just to get their husbands in bed, lol. Does this ring true for any of you guys?

    • ANSWER:
      Uh, that is so far from the truth. I couldn't get enough sex when I was pregnant with my first daughter. My poor husband didn't know what to do with me. I demanded sex. This pregnancy I am also having a girl and my sex drive has plummeted. I still enjoy it, but not as much as before. I have a good friend who is having a girl as well and she always wants sex too. I don't think it has anything at all to do with the gender of the baby. I think it all depends on how you feel physically and emotionally. Each pregnancy is different so you will feel differently each time. I also think it has to do with your estrogen and progestrone levels.

  37. QUESTION:
    Did any pregnancy symptoms indicate the gender/sex of your baby?
    I am 5 weeks pregnant and am wondering if your pregnancy symptoms indicate the sex of your baby.

    • ANSWER:
      Nope. By the way I carried (I looked like I literally had a watermelon under my shirt) everyone thought I either had a boy or twins. But I had ONE girl.

      Although the wives tale that says that when you have heartburn, the baby will have a lot of hair was very true!

  38. QUESTION:
    Cravings during pregnancy & Gender of the baby?
    Im pregnant with my 3rd baby, & I know they say you cant tell what youre having through cravings but my cravings with this pregnancy have been WAY different than with my other 2 pregnancies:

    1st daughter I craved: Blueberry muffins, Chocolate cake, Pizza, Candy, Canned fruit

    2nd daughter I craved: Sour candy, Pizza, Ham & Cheese sandwiches with mustard, cookies, brownies, salad

    With this pregnancy (not sure of gender yet) Ive craved: Jalapenos, Hot wings, Coke Icee's, Pickles with salt, oranges with salt, & Mcdonalds Big Macs & French Fries.

    With my first 2 daughters my cravings were more sweet, this time my cravings have been more spicy & salty.

    What did/do you crave with your pregnancy & what is the baby's gender
    We find out the baby's sex next month sometime

    • ANSWER:
      This is my 3rd also. My first preg (boy) i craved pizza, arby's beef and cheddar sandwiches, pickles, french fries gained 45 lbs.

      My 2nd (boy) i craved fruit, fruit, and fruit. only gained 10 lbs.

      My 3rd (this ones a girl) i crave spicy foods ALL THE TIME. Ice cream, pickles, and fruit. 20 weeks and gaine 12 lbs.

  39. QUESTION:
    What's the earliest during pregnancy that the baby's gender can be determined?
    I heard it was 3 months. Is that true?

    • ANSWER:
      Well it all depends on baby and how well devloped it is i found out that i was having a girl at 15 weeks, it depends on how well baby will act with your ultrasound tech and if there is nothing hiding their little privates. But usually they tell you the best time to see what you are having is at 18 weeks the babys privates have developed clear enough to be see.

  40. QUESTION:
    Do you believe that pregnancy symptoms are related to the gender of the baby?
    I personally don't believe so, since every woman is different and every pregnancy is different, even for a same woman. But this is my first pregnancy, so I don't know for sure.

    What do you think? And if you have been pregnant more than once, and have had boys and girls, or even just boys or girls, do you think the symptoms are different?

    Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience!

    • ANSWER:
      I noticed a significant difference in my pregnancies while carrying different genders. With my girls (I have 5 of them so far), I had much more exaggerated symptoms (terrible morning sickness, very tender breasts, significant swelling in my feet and ankles). With my boys (I am expecting our 4th boy in August), everything was much more subdued. Hardly any morning sickness, breasts got bigger but not tender, etc. My OB says this is because girl-babies hormones are so similar to our own hormones that it intensifies things, but boy-babies hormones are the opposite of our own hormones so we're not as effected. Congrats!

  41. QUESTION:
    How far into a pregnancy is the baby's gender usually determined by ultrasound?

    • ANSWER:
      16-22 weeks usually. The farther along you are, the more likely you'll be to see the "parts" or lack thereof. My OB made me wait until 20 weeks with both of my pregnancies so we'd be more likely to find out the sex of the baby.

  42. QUESTION:
    Can ultrasounds be wrong at 21 weeks of pregnancy on determining your baby's gender?
    I did my ultrasound four days ago. My doctor was having a hard time looking for the gender cause my baby's but was facing my belly button. So he looked from the butt and he said it looks like a girl. Can he be wrong since he is looking from the buttocks? Have anyone have had an ultrasound at 21 weeks and still had wrong result on the gender?

    • ANSWER:
      It is always possible that they are wrong, especially if they say girl. Boys are usually easier to spot (obviously)!

  43. QUESTION:
    Check gender of the baby in 5 week pregnancy?
    Im in Japan and would like to know whether doctors here can tell the gender of the baby. Pls advice I'm 5 weeks pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      Certainly not before 16 weeks,and even 16 weeks is not very reliable at all .
      For a more definate conclusion as to the sex of your baby,you are best having a scan around 20 weeks which is what they do here in the UK.

      At the sixth week the site of the genitals is a small bud, called the genital tuber.
      Until the ninth week of fetus development, the embryonic reproductive tissue is the same one for the two sexes.
      By the 20th week of pregnancy the external genitalia changes are complete. On ultrasound, if your baby is cooperating and is positioned in a favorable way, his or her sex can be identified with quite high certainty.

      Hope this helps! xx

  44. QUESTION:
    what's the easy way to find a baby's gender on pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      The 20 week ultrasound. Or birth! :)

  45. QUESTION:
    When i can know the gender of the baby during my pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      You can usually find out by ultrasound around 18-20 weeks. There are also other ways to find out before that. I used fortune baby gender predictor and it was right for me. I also use their pregnancy tools all the time.

Gender Calculator Pregnancy

Determining a childs gender before pregnancy
At Some Point You're Going to Pee on Yourself. I don't care how many kegels you do, it's inevitable. Pregnancy and poor bladder control go hand in hand, so just accept it. You may not be able to prevent it, aside from doing the inconspicuous leg cross and squeeze maneuver, however you can manage it. Once you accept the problem, you can get incontinence pads at Wal Mart. They're cheap, and although it is a little embarrassing to be the only one in the check-out line under 70 with incontinence pads in their buggy, it's a small price to pay to avoid wetting your pants in public.

5. Who Farted? I hate to say it, but there's not a lot you can do to avoid this one. Gas-X is no match for the flatulence of a pregnant woman. The funny thing is, by the time you get so pregnant that you can no longer squeeze your butt cheeks together enough to muffle the sound, you don't care who hears or smells you fart. There is (or should be) a whole new set of rules for what is considered proper and permissible when you're pregnant. So, enjoy your new found freedom!

6. Ear Plugs Are a Must... For Your Husband! Once you reach that stage when breathing requires your full effort and concentration, sleeping can become quite a challenge. You can't get comfortable, you have 10 lbs sitting on top of your stomach, and when you do fall asleep you dream about giving birth to aliens and baby cows. Nighttime isn't only difficult for you, but for your hubby as well. Your difficulty breathing combined with the massive amounts of snot that reside in a pregnant nose can produce a loud, innocuous snore. Again, this is only temporary, and considering that you will soon be birthing his child, I don't think it's too much to ask for him to deal with this one, minor inconvenience. Still, cut the guy some slack when he's dragging in the morning.

7. Not Only Will You Glow, You Will Glisten. This is something that you especially want to prepare yourself for if you're gearing up for a summer baby. Take into consideration the added weight, the summer heat, and the bi-polar hormones, and profuse sweating is a no-brainer. I've always had over-eager sweat glands anyway, but it's nothing compared to a good third trimester sweat-fest. All I can tell you is to keep a stick of deodorant close by, shower often, and never leave the house without a back-up shirt.

8. You Know Turner & Hooch? Well, You're Hooch. You're definitely going to want to have a few extra pillow cases on hand, because around your 5th or 6th month you're going to turn into a slobber monster. I'm not sure what causes it, but it's definitely not pretty. Keep this in mind if you and your hubby like to fall asleep snuggling. He may never recover if he wakes up with a puddle of his wife's drool on his chest. I know he loves you, but that degree of disgustingness would challenge even the greatest of loves.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How accurate gender calculators are???
    well am pregnant n while surfing on pregnancy sites, I found something called gender calculators. i wanted to know to what extent is this calculator true? Can one depend on its answer??? I, personally, prefer to keep the sex of my baby a surprise for the delivery day. But aren't these things misleading?? What if it says girl n finally it turns out to be a baby boy??? Some parents can be really disappointed..

    • ANSWER:
      i would not use this to determine the sex of my baby. They are fun, but are rarely true. I did them when i was pregnant and they all said i was having a boy but an ultrasound revealed a girl! lucky i didn't make any decisions(ie decorating babies room) on these!

  7. QUESTION:
    Gender calendar accuracy? Did it work?
    I have been having some fun with the gender calendar at http://www.thenestbaby.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx
    It is really funny to me that both of my kids are boys and it said they would be. So, I checked for my mom and all 3 of her pregnancies. They were all right. I realize it is just a huge coincidence. But it is still fun to see how many times it gives an accurate guess. So, if you have kids or already know what you are having, try it and let me know if it worked for you!

    • ANSWER:
      It was right for all three of my pregnancies. We were thinking we were done because we have three boys and I didn't want to chance trying to have a girl only to have boy number 4. But I really have been thinking about trying to plan it by those calendars to see if I could have a girl!!

    • ANSWER:

  10. QUESTION:
    Unsure of when my due date is?
    Ok so when I first found out I was pregnant, before I even saw the OB Dr. I looked it up and a baby due date calculator said April 29th, which was based off of my last Menstrual Cycle. When I finally saw my doctor, she confirmed this due date.

    I had an ultrasound done from a pregnancy center to see the gestational age, they said May 5th.

    When I had an ultrasound done from my actual Dr. She was still sticking with April 29th, the Gestational age matched up with that due date at that time. But when they were finally able to tell the gender, they did the ultra sound, which I found it was a boy, I was about 18 weeks along, amd they said he was further along and his due date was April 22nd and they were gonna do with that date instead. But when I went to the Drs yesterday, I over heard my OB talking to another Dr trying to figure out my due date. So should I go with the April 29th or the April 22nd? My fiance, the babys daddy, comes from a family of big babies...10lbs +. Id like an idea of around when he will probably be here because my mom is trying to plan the trip to be here for the birth.

    I was hoping that I could trust my Dr on the EDD but Im not sure if she even knows. I am about 23 weeks along if I go by the April 29th, if I go by the April 22nd, I'm about 24 weeks.

    Oh and I should mention the nurse I saw yesterday before my dr told me i was due April 15th and that I was 25 1/2 weeks along...so please someone help me lol

    • ANSWER:
      Generally, an ultrasound will be more accurate than basing it off your last menstrual cycle, but considering nobody seems to agree, you may want to see another doctor or midwife if possible to get a solid answer.
      I'd probably stick with April 29th. Due dates are just estimates though. And estimating due dates based on your menstrual cycle is usually based on a 28 day cycle, so if your cycle is longer, then your due date could be different.

  11. QUESTION:
    New to the TTC circuit, would like some friendly advice?
    I know there are calculators and what not on the internet to help with this, not to mention doctors, but I just wanted to know in the best opinions of other mothers TTC, what would be chances of pregnancy be.

    My partner and I are actively TTC #2.

    My periods range from 31 days to 34, and I have been told I have PCOS, but only time (and attempts to fall pregnant) would give an indication on whether or not I could conceive successfully.

    Date wise I should be ovulation on the 2nd-4th (depends on my cycle length that month), and had relations on the 29th and 30th

    I know I am certainly not currently pregnant, nor do I expect to be already, I just wanted to know if having relations on those dates could possibly lead to pregnancy.

    We are trialling the Shettles method, we certainly would not mind either gender, and would be grateful no matter what, but I personally don't see the harm in naturally trying to tip the odds.

    I'd like to stress that I am not interesting in hearing any "take a test...how are we supposed to know" rubbish, there is more to this question than just 'Could I be pregnant', so if replying to genuine questions with some anti-am I pregnant rant, please try and avoid answering. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi well first off Baby Dust! I am also TTC #2 after 13 cycles (if not more)

      OK well well first off just go with those dates for an idea of when you are ovulating. Without going to the doctors and charting BBT and whatnot you can get an idea of ovulation by looking at your cervical mucus. Around 5 days before you ovulate you may realise your CM (cervical mucus) becomes more abundant and can be white creamy at the beggining.

      When the CM starts to turn egg-white (clearish) and stretchy that means you will be ovulating very soon 12-36 hours. Egg White cervical mucus is what you go by in terms of ovulation... Egg white cervical mucus is there to keep the sperm alive (it is fertile CM) knowing ovulation is on its way very soon. Below I attatched a site that can give info on how to check etc:

      http://infertility.about.com/od/tryingtoconceive101/a/cervicalmucus.htm

      Keep an eye out around those dates at first because that's most likely when you ovulate and thats when it should be EWCM :) Days 15-20 should be around the ovulation date with those cycle lengths, but the Egg White CM will help you clarify a little bit :)

      Good Luck and baby dust. Hope I helped you out

Gender Baby Predictor

New Technologies: Baby Gender Predictors Of Modern Time
It is natural for expectant parents to get curious about their baby's gender. Long ago, choosing baby gender was high impossible. It was so impossible that parents who wanted to influence their baby's gender had to do crazy things such as tying the left testicle in the hope of producing sons. Parents had to settle for baby gender predictors or wait tediously until the official ultrasound results arrive and then that's the only time they can start buying pillows or pink mittens and the like. To date; however, technology finally makes it possible for parents to choose baby gender. Choosing baby gender was made possible when the first test-tube baby was born in 1978. Below are some modern ways which you may consider in choosing baby gender.

Selective abortion Selective abortion is said to be one of the crudest way to choose baby sex. In this case, the mother takes an amniocentesis, which is an early-pregnancy examination which screens genetic diseases. The process can also determine the gender of the fetus. If the sex is not what the parents aspire for, the mother aborts the pregnancy. This technique is clearly not supported by Christian countries.

Method by Ericsson Another method which is now available to moms is that which was developed in the 1970s by Ronald Ericsson, PHD a geneticist. Like the other methods, this technique had its share of drawbacks as well as ethical considerations. The method revolves around the idea that X chromosomes (female) are larger and denser than Y chromosomes (male). The fast swimming male sperms are separeted from the slow swimming female sperms through a human serum which serves as a filter. Given this, pregnant women are inseminated with a higher number of sperm in favor of the couple's desired gender. This process is relatively affordable and was not proven to be medically invasive; however, it is said to fail in three out of ten cases.

Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) This technique is said to be more successful as compared to the one proposed by Ericsson. This method was originally developed to screen for sex-linked genetic diseases. This includes muscular dystrophy and hemophilia which disproportionately affects boys. The pre-implantation method can be done through vitro fertilization the process wherein the woman's eggs are removed from her ovaries and fertilized with her partner''s sperm through surgery. In the IVF procedure, the fertilized embryos are brought back to the uterus of the women but with PGD, one or two cells are taken from each embryo. The doctors analyze these cells and then they detect the sex of your baby. The process is said to be almost 100 percent accurate. The preferred embryos are then used in he IVF process and those which are not chosen are either donated to research institutions or to other couples.

MicroSort - This is said to be one of the most promising techniques to tell baby gender. The sperm is stained using a special dye and is run through a machine which distinguishes female DNA from male DNA in the sperm and sorts out the favored gender. After, the women is inseminated with the sperm which carries the chromosomes of her choice. This technique has been in clinical trials since 1993. It was first made available to couples who have a history of sex-linked diseases. It quickly expanded and was made accessible to people who wanted to choose their baby's gender.

Choosing baby gender is now right in your fingertips. Before finally taking any of these methods, make sure that they do not go against any religious or social beliefs and ethics.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How accuratre was the chinese calendar baby gender predictor for you?
    Hi I'm 10wks pregnant and I went to the chinese calendar baby gender predictor to see if I was having a boy or a girl according to the calendar it say's I'm having a boy, I already have three girls so I really can't believe that I want to know if anyone had an accurate answer and actually had what the chinese calendar said? I'm not a big believer in that stuff but I heard it's pretty accurate please respond!

    • ANSWER:
      It said im having a girl and I did. I hope your having a boy!

  2. QUESTION:
    Ladies has anyone ever used the IntelliGender baby gender predictor? Was it accurate?
    Can u share personal experiences with me on whether u used a predictor or had a doctor accurately tell u the gender of your baby? How far along were you at time of prediction?

    • ANSWER:
      I used this for my second pregnancy, it was a baby shower gift but put it in a cupboard and didn't find it until I was 30+ weeks, by which time I knew already I was having a girl, I did the test anyway for fun, and it did come up girl, how accurate it is I don't know as it has a 50/50 chance of being right. But still was cute although perhaps a bit gimicky.

  3. QUESTION:
    How does the baby gender predictor work?
    So i recently learned about the gender predictor method using a pencil needle and thread. If i am pregnant right now, but had an miscarriage before.. how would it work? Would it show me what i had first (miscarriage) Or would it show what im pregnant with now and then show what i was having before? I know this stuff isnt accurate but its fun to do! :)
    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      It is just for fun and is not accurate in the least bit so it wouldn't really be showing the gender of either but if your going to believe in that stuff I would assume the current babies gender since that's the one that's in your belly.

  4. QUESTION:
    Does that chinese lunar calendar, baby gender predictor work?

  5. QUESTION:
    How accurate was the chinese baby gender predictor chart for you?
    My friend swears it has worked for everyone she knows. Was it accurate in predicting the gender for your little one?

    • ANSWER:
      Was 100% on for me and a coworker, we got pregnant round same time and another coworker showed us what it said for us.

  6. QUESTION:
    has anybody used one of those at home baby gender predictor kits?
    just wandering if they actually work and how early you can use it and it actually be accurate.

    • ANSWER:
      I did! :-) But I have PCOS and it states in the instructions that if you have PCOS the gender predictor kit is definitely going to state that it's a boy. We find out the sex of our baby on June 1st so I can't even tell you if it was right or wrong. I do reccomend it though although they are expensive. It's fun to do!! :-)

  7. QUESTION:
    Does any one believe in the Chinese Baby Gender Predictor?
    I have seen a couple different ones, one said it goes by the mothers age at conception and one said it goes by the age when giving birth, so that right there makes me a little skeptical. I dont know what to think. The majority of the ones say that Im having a girl but really want a boy ... So I dont know... maybe I just dont want to believe it....

    What do you think?

    • ANSWER:

  8. QUESTION:
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?
    Did the chinese gender predictor chart accurately predict the gender of your baby?

    It didn't accurately predict the gender of my baby. Also did u take the test right - With your Chinese age at conception & Chinese month.

    • ANSWER:
      It can't actually predict the gender. It is the male's sperm that decides the gender. So, doesn't matter what time you try for a baby, in the end, it's always the sperm that decides it.

      However; As I remember it, "female" sperm are larger and slower, and can survive acidic "climates" better, whereas the "male" sperm is faster, but more apt to dying in an acidic environment, so your diet could theoretically change the odds of having a girl/boy.

      But it has nothing to do with the date on which you do it.

  9. QUESTION:
    How far do you think is the 'Chinese Baby Gender Predictor Calender' correct ?

    • ANSWER:
      i think it might be accurate. I had my ultrasound at 17 weeks and the Dr said i was having a girl and the gender predictor said it was a girl, I just have to wait til DEC to find out for sure!!!

  10. QUESTION:
    Has anyone found a baby gender predictor test to be accurate that I could try?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese prediction calender is the only one that's worked for me. Every other one failed to work, told me I was having a little boy and there is a def. a little girl in my belly. You could try all sorts of them, but I wouldn't paint your nursery by the result. Most websites you buy them from also suggest not making any financial choices [meaning buy all pink stuff if it says girl] because they aren't proven to be correct all the time and they aren't liable if they are wrong.

    Is The baby gender predictor really true?
    I seen this website that tells you what sex your baby is by the time of conception and the mother's age. Does any one else believe that? I tried it for my son.. and it did say I was having a boy. The reason I ask is because I want to have a GIRL but really aint sure if that worked.. or It was jus luck that I had a boy

    • ANSWER:

    http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html

    • ANSWER:
      yes- with both my pregnancies! With my second I was convinced i was having a boy- but the chinese calendar said GIRL- and i insisted boy- and then at my ultrasound it was confirmed a girl- and what do you know I had another girl. So it was correct for both of my kids. It also was correct with my cousins son- and both of my sisters 3 kids- I've also read/heard that the chinese calendar thing is about 99% accurate!

  24. QUESTION:
    Baby gender predictor help?
    Ok so I know alot of people do not get into the whole "gender predictor" thing but however I remember my ex sister in law used it and it was accurate as well as a few other people I know. I dont think Im doing it right maybe because your supposed to use your lunar year so for those of you who are familiar with the prediction charts could you help me out. Here is the info....I was born September 7th 1984 and I concieved October 11th 2009.

    • ANSWER:
      My favorite chart (because I think it is cute!) says that you're having a boy. That is if you conceived at the age of 24.

      Check this out and try it for yourself.

      http://www.thebump.com/calculators/ChineseGenderChart.aspx

      This was right for my first 2 pregnancies and I'm hoping it's right for this one too and it was right for both of my sister's pregnancies.

      And yes, a lot of it is for entertainment purposes, but it also seems fairly accurate to me.

  25. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the Intelligender Baby Gender predictor kit?
    If so, were the results accurate?

    If not, and you are currently pregnant, is this something you would consider trying?

    http://www.intelligender.com/index.htm

    My 3D/4D ultrasound is tomorrow, so I hoping my baby will not be too shy, but I am thinking about this test as a backup. I am very anxious to know what I am having.
    I had my ultrasound and the sonographer was 100% positive it is a boy! I don't have a trained eye, but there was no denying it, so no gender test for me. Thanks again to all who answered.

    • ANSWER:
      I have not used it but i wanted to until I found out that it isnt really over 90% it is more like 50% and I can do that. A part of me still really wants to try it but I want more people to say if it worked or not. It is driving me crazy not knowing. What did your ultrasound say?

  26. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender Predictor, Was it right for your baby?
    This method has proven right for almost everyone I know that had a baby. Was yours right? Pls count back from the "month" you conceived your baby, and "how old" you were at the time.

    If the month and your age adds up to an even #, baby is a boy.
    If the month and your age adds up to an odd #, baby is a girl.

    Example:
    Age 30, Conceived in January. 30 + 1 (for Jan) is 31, Odd = Baby Girl
    Age 20, Conceived in February, 20 + 2 (for Feb) is 32, Even = Baby Boy

    Was yours correct? Pls give testimonial so I see how close this is.. The Chiinese Gender Chart is confusing and hard to rely on.

    • ANSWER:
      No it wasn't right for me. I was 20 and conceived in February which equals 22 and should mean I'd have a boy but I had a little girl. :)

      EDIT: Eibhlinn: this is just for fun. I'm sure no one really believes in it, geez.

  27. QUESTION:
    is the Chinese baby gender predictor accurate?

    • ANSWER:
      Not in me or my girlfriend's cases. It said we were both having boys - we're both having girls.

  28. QUESTION:
    Baby gender predictor charts...what do you guys think of them?
    I am 7 weeks pregnant and visited 9 different websites that predict the baby's gender based on age and month of conception. (I am 21 with conception in January.) The majority of the results say boy, but one website I have visited for years since I was pregnant with my now 5 year old son, BabyZone.com, says it is going to be a girl. Three websites said girl, five websites said boy, and one website said based on the month it would be a boy...but based on my age I am 92% likely to have a girl. Does anyone have an opinion on those things? And when they say "conception" does it mean the night we were intimate, or the first day of my last period? Since the month and year did change between LMP and "conception".
    We tried the ring on a necklace thing (old wives tale) and it said girl, and we conceived after I ovulated, if that matters. It doesn't matter to me what the gender is, we are excited for either, just wanted some opinions. Thanks everyone!

    • ANSWER:
      I think that they have no bearing whatsoever on what you will have, because there's no way for them to know which gender chromosome from your partner reached the egg first. The only reason it is accurate for a lot of people is because 50/50 is a pretty decent percentage.

  29. QUESTION:
    Old wives' tale baby gender predictor with under tongue colour?
    Has anyone heard of this before? If so, what colour(s) indicate what sex?
    WOW some ppl seem really mad about what I thought would be some harmless fun at a baby shower....jeez louise...lol

      Couldn't find anything about the one you mentioned. Here are some old wives tales about gender of baby predictions:

      FEMALE if:
      Your face breaks out more than usual.
      You won't eat the heel of a loaf of bread
      You are craving fruit.
      Your belly looks like a watermelon.
      You face south when you sleep

      MALE if:
      Your belly looks like a baseball.
      You are carrying extra weight out front.
      You crave protein, meat, cheese, milk.
      Your feet are always cold

  31. QUESTION:
    baby gender predictor tests?
    ive been told twice by 2 different ones that im having a girl, does anyone believe in them or have had it turn out true?

    • ANSWER:
      The only way to tell for sure is a 3D/4D scan. Even an ultrasound is unreliable.
      Any other 'method' (heart rate, how low it's lying etc.) is no better than guessing.

    Baby gender predictor, old wives tale.?
    Ok I heard that while U'r pregnant if U hold a baby boy and it cries then U'r having a baby girl & visa versa foe if U were holding a baby girl. I'm not sure if this I'd the way that the tale goes but I wanna know has this worked for anybody?

    • ANSWER:
      lol, well ... i did all the old wives tales and it told me a boy and i did infact have a boy. some silly ones are check your urine, if its slightly on the orange side rather than brighter yellow youre having a boy. if you splash a lot of water on your belly while doing dishes its a girl. if your belly is UP and you are carrying high its a girl, if youre belly is LOW and you are carrying low its a boy. theres another (if youre married) take your ring and place a string in it and dangle it over your belly ... if it goes side to side its a girl and in circles its a boy.

      when i was pregnant my urine was dark orange and i carried low, i took this test on about.com that predicted the gender before i found out and it was all right, besides --- all of my friends just had some sort of hunch. good luck!:D

    Hi there, I was just wondering how accurate the Chinese baby gender predictor was?

    Have any of you had experience with it, or know someone who has - and was it right or wrong?!

    I'm very interested in this sort of thing!! Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      In Aug. 2006 I had a MC, and the following year we wanted another baby. So I found the Chinese predictor and it said if we conceived in April it would be a boy, we already have a daughter.

      In Aug. 2007 we went for the 20 week ultrasound and it was a BOY. There were 9 babies born into our family last year and every single one was right.

      It really didn't matter what sex the baby was just as long he or she came out healthy :)

  41. QUESTION:
    Can anyone recommend a good baby gender prediction test for me?
    I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I have too many weeks to go until my ultrasound appointment to find out the sex of my baby. Can anyone recommend a gender predictor test? I have heard a few in passing, but do not know what is best.

    • ANSWER:
      Congrats on your soon to be bundle of joy! If only it was possible to know the sex of your baby right away, and although there are lots of tests that give you answers, they are not 100% accurate. If I had to pick one, the one that comes to mind is GenderMaker. I have heard about it a few times and it has been good things. Just don't rely on those tests too much. They should only be taken for fun.

  42. QUESTION:
    Dreams say baby girl, chinese gender predictor say Girl?
    So I am really early on 3 week and few days from invitro frozen egg transfer. I have the blood test in august because of traveling but I have taken 4 test all positive and one digital Pregnant. I feel good about this pregnancy and hope it sticks. Me and the hubby both have been having dreams that our first is a girl. I did the gender predictor says girl. I think that it will be a boy because everything leads to girl. How many had dreams of what the baby was and it was true. The hubby decided I will find out the gender and for up to a month I can leave clues to what we are having. I wanted to wait till birth but then we agreed on me teasing him...any ideas how to tease him when the time comes?

    • ANSWER:
      I dreamt of a baby boy in my dream while I was pregnant. I decided to not believe it bc I wanted a girl. But sure enough I delivered a beautiful little Boy!!! So I say your probly having a girl :)

  43. QUESTION:

  44. QUESTION:
    are the chinese baby gender predictors usually right?
    my sister in law said it was right for her and for 2 of her friends but is it right most of the time?

    • ANSWER:
      I read they are statistically more right than wrong, but they are far from accurate.

Gender Calculator

The Limitations Of Using A Baby Gender Calculator One of the best parts about getting pregnant is that moment when soon-to-be parents finally find out about their baby's gender. Parents eagerly await for this development. However, they will need to patiently wait for a certain time before the baby's sex gets finally confirmed. Is there no other option on how to know baby gender during the earlier weeks or months of pregnancy? '

Unfortunately, baby gender cannot be officially confirmed until the 16th week. There are; however, fun and unofficial ways to increase the probability of conceiving the gender that you favor for. This is what we call the baby gender calculator. The baby gender calculator is a program which estimates the chances or the probability of conceiving a female or a male. The calculation is based on the recalculated birthdates of both parents. It is very important to keep in mind that the baby gender calculator is not a scientific procedure and thus, should not be entirely relied upon.

Most baby gender calculators depend on the theory that nature regulates that the number of girls and boys that come out in this world are equal. Furthermore, the theory also believes in the existence of an inner biological clock in every human being which is said to begin on the day that he is conceived. It is believed that the clock can change the period on every person which is why during the reproduction process, we have the ability to create a female or a male descendant. This period change on a cycle and the duration of a certain period varies between men and women.

Nevertheless, what a baby gender calculator can control is limited. It cannot control or ultimately confirm factors which are specified by genetics or biology. Given this, every couple should keep in mind that the software should not be solely relied upon in confirming the sex of a baby. According on test results, the probability of a successful foreseeing through this method is only 75% - which is why the baby gender calculator is applicable only for natural conceiving.

To be able to use this software successfully, keep in mind that the calculation is based on the date of parent's conceiving and that it is not directly based on their birth date. In practice, this simply means that if you have the information that one of the parents was miscarried or born late, do not enter the actual date of birth but the anticipated birth instead. Wrong entry will surely derange the accuracy of the calculation. Keep in mind as well that the periods calculated in the software are related to the period of conception of the child, not the child's birth.

If you plan of using this software, it is very important that you test the effectiveness of the software prior to actual usage. The testing can be done by using data of other kids and their parents. The baby gender calculator does not determine data with 100% precision. Rather, it simply recalculates the period with increased probability of conceiving the child's gender.

    Al the calculator's said girl for me!

    • ANSWER:
      I'm one of those women who wish the pregnancy tests came with three windows...one for the +/-, one for the test window (that tells you the test is working) and one that would say boy or girl!

      SO naturally I tried all the sites that predict the sex of your baby. With baby number one they all said "boy". I had a girl. With this one they are all saying "boy" and based on 4 sonograms I'm having another girl!

      Fun, yes. Reliable? Not for me!

      Congrats and good luck!!!

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese gender one was accurate for me. This time it says I am having a girl but I won't know until that ultrasound. That is really the only sure way to know, even then it is not accurate because my husband was supposed to be a girl but he came out a boy!

  16. QUESTION:
    Hi. I am 24 weeks pregnant. I was trying this Chinese gender prediction calculator.?
    My DOB is 10th of April 1985. I conceived in Feb 2009. At that time I was 23 years, but became 24 years in April. When I enter my age in the Chinese calculator, should I enter 23 years or 24 years? I am confused!!

    • ANSWER:
      I think if your birthday is between Jan and Feb you should use your real age but if its after Feb then you should add one year to your age..so I think you should put 24 years. I found a calculator that told me this info and mine came out correct..I tried 3 others and they said the same thing..I found this on baby2see.com:

      General principle is to add 1 to your 'normal' age if your birthdate is past the Chinese New Year.

      For example : If Susan was born January 10th, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 25.
      But, if Carol was born on July 9th of the same year, her Chinese Lunar Age would be 26.

      Chinese Lunar Age : The Chinese count the age starting from the birth, every Chinese lunar year which you will traverse, counts for one year more whatever your month of birth.

      If you were born from January 1st - February 20th (inclusive of these dates), you should use your real (Gregorian/English Calendar) age.

      However, if you were born from February 21st - December 31st (again, inclusive of these dates), you should add one year to your Gregorian age.

  17. QUESTION:
    How accurate gender calculators are???
    well am pregnant n while surfing on pregnancy sites, I found something called gender calculators. i wanted to know to what extent is this calculator true? Can one depend on its answer??? I, personally, prefer to keep the sex of my baby a surprise for the delivery day. But aren't these things misleading?? What if it says girl n finally it turns out to be a baby boy??? Some parents can be really disappointed..

    • ANSWER:
      i would not use this to determine the sex of my baby. They are fun, but are rarely true. I did them when i was pregnant and they all said i was having a boy but an ultrasound revealed a girl! lucky i didn't make any decisions(ie decorating babies room) on these!

  18. QUESTION:
    is china calculator orchart is true for gender prediction?if yes how the chines age calculate with indian age?

    • ANSWER:
      is china calculator orchart is true for gender prediction?
      I don't know.

      how the chines age calculate with Indian age?
      I don't know about indian age.that you have to ask someone else. as for the Chinese age, we count from the day the fetus was formed in mother's womb. so when the baby was born, that baby was considered one year old even though it is just 9 months pregnancy.

  19. QUESTION:
    Does the Chinese Baby Gender Predictor work for you?

    http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm

    • ANSWER:
      It worked for me, and I like to believe these things are true, but you never know. It's a 50/50 chance either way!

  20. QUESTION:
    Accuracy of chinese gender chart?
    Share your personal experience about accuracy of chinese gender calculator or chart.....and also there is so many website related to this topic ,..tell me which site shows more accurate result.

    • ANSWER:
      I couldn't even get consistent results on different websites that all were supposedly giving me the chinese gender chart. So, I don't know what that's about. But consider this: the chart goes by age of mother and month of conception... if it were accurate, how would it account for twins of different gender?? They were conceived in the same month by the same mother and should be the same gender, according to the chart. It's just a fun thing to do - not to be taken seriously!!

      edit: i am always amazed at the things people give thumbs down to... sorry i burst your chinese gender chart bubble but I'm just speaking the truth.... isn't that what people want around here?

    Chinese Gender Predictors!!?
    Do you think they work?I have been to a few and I got different answer at a few of them.I found one that seems to be pretty accurate. According to this I'm having a girl.!! I have entered in a few of the mothers I knows information as well as my own and it was all accurate. Can you guys test it out for me so I know it its right. I don't want to get my hopes up. lol
    http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know what I'm having yet, but the chart doesn't really say what to do if your conception date was February 29th...since there's no such date most of the time, I could end up going either way depending on whether they count it as February or March.

  31. QUESTION:
    was the chinese gender chart accurate for you?
    I know that its only a 50% chance of getting it right but it was accurate for me! And according to most of the old wives tales I should be having a boy. But I am def having a girl!!

  32. QUESTION:
    Chinese Gender Prediction test, need help?
    Okay, so you trolls and people who don't believe I can handle being at parent or think I am stupid..
    I'm sixteen and pregnant.
    I'm not going to explain my whole story to you, but I was on the pill and there were condoms involved so this was just a random event of fate. I'm still in school, grade A student, and I plan on going to college, my family is also well financed, so hush.

    But anyways, I wanted to use the Chinese lunar calender test:(http://www.obfocus.com/calculators/gender.htm)

    but I'm younger than the age on there. The age starts at 18, so how do I use it since I'm sixteen?

    thanks for anyone that helps!
    obviously it will be a boy or a girl, no need to be an asshole about it.

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations! and if you're ready then more power to you. I wouldn't have been ready at that age, but then again, i'm 22 and I hardly feel ready now (due August 1st!)

      I found a couple that say they work for your age, but they don't show the actual chart. That's really all I could find, but they all use the Lunar calendar. If you google search for Chinese Gender Predictor Age 16 quite a few things pop up.
      Good luck and let us know what it says! :)

  35. QUESTION:
    Shettles Method and Choosing Baby Gender??
    Has any one tried this and did it work for you? We have a very handsome baby boy who will be a year soon and we are starting to try for our second baby but we would really like to have a girl. However with his family history dating back to great great grandpa its all been boys in his family so my chances of having a girl is very low. Please don't judge me for wanting a certain sex but know that I will be absolutely overjoyed to have another child no matter the sex I wouldn't take anything in the world for my son and if its a boy the next time around I WILL feel the same way.

    For those of you who are not familiar with what I am talking about.....

    "Shettles Method: Characteristics of X and Y Chromosome Sperm

    To understand how the Shettles Method works, we first need to clarify the qualitative differences between the X and Y chromosome-carrying sperm.

    The Y-chromosome sperm (boys) have been found to be smaller and faster than the female X-chromosome sperm. However, Y-chromosome sperm may be less resilient than X-chromosome sperm, may die more quickly, and may not be able to withstand more acidic environments (pH levels of the vagina). Boy sperm live fast and die young, so to speak.

    The X-chromosome sperm (girls) have been found to be slower but more resilient than the Y sperm. X-chromosome sperm are larger and are more capable of enduring vaginal environments where the pH levels are more acidic. Typically, the vagina and cervical environments become less acidic right before and during ovulation, due to the increased presence of cervical mucus. The reproductive function of cervical mucus is to provide a healthy medium for sperm to swim and survive (longer). Cervical mucus will also likely reduce the acidity of the vagina and create more alkaline pH levels, helping sperm survive longer. We'll see below how this may play a factor in the Shettles Method of gender selection."

    • ANSWER:
      Hi there! I posted the same question last night under "trying to conceive" and "pregnancy" and no one ever responded! I deleted my questions and did a search on yahoo answers for shettles method and found that there have been many questions and answers about this the past couple of years. I spent an hour reading through them all. The overall opinion seemed to be that many people feel they had success with it. I am curious to see what answers you get today because I want some current opinions from people who have tried this method this past year. I have a girl and a boy already and very much want another little girl. Best of Luck to You!!!

  36. QUESTION:

Also, if you'd already had a baby could you check the chart and see if it's accurate. Here's the address : http://www.ovulation-calculator.com/ttc-tools/chinese-conception-chart.htm

  38. QUESTION:
    Looking for a BMI calculator with more in-depth questions...?
    I am looking for a BMI calculator that asks more questions than just gender, height, weight, and age. Specifically, I am a female with very much larger-than-average.. ahem... "assets" (real, so don't ask), which I am sure contribute to my classification as "obese." I know I'm a little overweight, but, seriously, that's not right!

    Is there a better site on the net that asks further questions so you can get a true calculation?

    Thanks for the help :)

    • ANSWER:
      you need to have your bodyfat % measured, this can be done in several ways, the first is bodyfat scales that use biometric impedance to measure fat level, this is the least accurate but most accessible method, the next is the pinch test where callipers are used to measure the fat at several sites on the body which are added together and referenced on a chart for age and sex, this is relatively accurate if done by an experienced and trained person but need to be done at a gym or doctor, you can't do it on yourself as one of the sites is the sub scapula site on your back.

      MRI, underwater weighting etc are all more accurate but much more expensive and hard to access.

      any other tests you find online that just ask basic questions are not good guides.

    http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_bmi_results.htm?test=1&gender=1&age=18&months=0&cwt=189&chf=6&chi=1

    i went online on a bmi calculator i put in my info about my body, and it says that im
    at a normal, healthy body range..if thats true than how come when i look in the mirror i look like a freaking stick?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably because you have a lot of muscle mass and heavier bones, but not a lot of body fat. Bone and muscle is much more compact than fat, but weighs more.

      HTH : )

  45. QUESTION:
    Does having a higher lean body mass increase your BMR?
    I am 5'7" and 17 years old, but have a higher than average lean body mass of 127 pounds. Would this mean I my BMR is higher than the the calculator which only takes into account, gender, total weight, height and age?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, absolutely.

      Things from connetive tissues, organs, muscles, etc are all LBM. When you increase LBM through muscle gain then you increase metabolic rate required to fuel these muscles. This means a higher BMR is required.

      Fat cells even require energy believe it or not. However, most people wouldn't care to maintain them anyways so I guess that was unmporant factoid. I only mentioned simply for completion.

      For everyone 1lb of muscle it's speculated that 17 additional calories will be burned in a day.

      As for the accruacy of the BMR calculators. Really trying to get exact with that is not possible. This is where you really use "estimates" to best guess it. Too many factors missing and plus there are phsysiological systems in regard to metabolism that we simply are still learning about. So how can we know it all to give a exact reading?

Games Where You Can Get Pregnant

How To Get Pregnant - natural way to get pregnant
Some couples seem to get pregnant, just talking. For others, it requires patience and luck. If you're wondering how to get pregnant, start the good old days. This is what you need to know - and when to seek help.
Understand where they are most fertile

The design is based on a complex series of events. Each month, hormones from the pituitary gland to stimulate the ovaries from releasing an egg, or ovulation. Once the egg is released, he went to one of the fallopian tubes. If you want to design, it's time. But how do you know when you're ovulating? For many women, is like hitting a moving target.

Keep an eye on the calendar
Use your agenda day or another simple calendar to mark the day of your period begins each month. Also the number of days each period lasts. If you have a constant 28-day cycle, ovulation is likely to begin about 14 days after the date of your last period began.

If your cycles are somewhat long, subtract 18 from the number of days in your shortest cycle. When your next period begins, count ahead of the two days. Next week is a reasonable estimate of their most fertile days.

Benefits *. Calendar calculations can be done simply on paper.
Cons *. Many factors can affect the exact time of ovulation, including illness, stress and exercise. Counting days is often inaccurate, especially for women with irregular cycles.

Watch for changes in cervical mucus Just before ovulation, you may notice an increase in secretions, vaginal slippery - if you look. These secretions typically resemble raw egg whites. After ovulation, when the chances of getting pregnant are slim, the discharge will be cloudy and sticky or disappear entirely.

Benefits *. Changes in vaginal secretions are often an accurate sign of impending fertility. The simple observation - especially in the vagina - is all you need.
Cons *. Judging by the texture or appearance of vaginal secretions can be somewhat subjective.

Track your basal body temperature
Is the temperature of your body when you are completely at rest. Ovulation may cause a slight increase in temperature - usually less than one degree. You are most fertile during the two or three days before your temperature rises. You can assume ovulation has occurred when the slightly higher temperature is stable for three days or more.

Use an oral thermometer to monitor your basal body temperature. Try the digital variety or one specifically designed to measure basal body temperature. Simply take your temperature every morning before getting out of bed. Draw a graph paper and reading to find a pattern to emerge.

Benefits *. It's simple. The only cost is the thermometer. It is often useful to determine when you've ovulated and judge if the timing is consistent from month to month.
Cons *. The temperature change may be subtle, and the increase is too late for design - after ovulation has already occurred. It may be inconvenient to take the temperature at the same time each day, especially if you have irregular sleeping hours.

Try a kit ovulation predictor
testing testing-the-counter ovulation urine for the surge of hormones that occurs before ovulation. For best results, follow the label instructions carefully.

Benefits *. Ovulation kits can identify the most likely time of ovulation, or even give a signal before ovulation actually happens. They are available without prescription in pharmacies.
Cons *. Ovulation kits often lead to excessively targeted sex - and sex of time so precisely can invite being too late. For some women, the cost ovulation tests is prohibitive.

  24. QUESTION:
    Heard a group of tween girls tonight saying their dream is to get pregnant and be on Teen mom?
    At my son's baseball game there were 4 girls sitting on the bleachers, where there parents were IDK but they looked 14ish. They were wearing short shorts with random words on their butts, makeup and their little phones texting and mentioned teen mom and how they are cuter than the mom's on that show and all they have to do is get pregnant and they can be on TV and then started running down a list of guys at their school they would get to father the baby. WTF is wrong with this generation? I am seriously concerned about what kind of girl my son will have to choose from when he gets older. I don't watch Teen mom, but it seems like a bad idea to promote that show from the 5 minutes I heard tonight. Do you watch it? Do you think it promotes teen motherhood in a positive or negative way?

    • ANSWER:
      I personally think "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" should both be taken off the air, but since the subject of teen pregnancy is a controversial one, both shows bring in millions of viewers to MTV and are extremely popular, so I doubt they'll be going anywhere soon (In fact, they've been showing commercials for the 4th season of "16 and Pregnant" and have announced a 3rd spin off "Teen Mom 3").

      Some people will try to defend it by saying that it's to show the "trials of teen pregnancy" and is a "cautionary tale". However, the only message I can see impressionable teenage girls getting from it is "HEY KIDS, IF YOU GET PREGNANT AND SEND US AN AUDITION TAPE, YOU COULD BE ON TV! AND IF YOUR EPISODE GETS HIGH ENOUGH RATINGS, YOU CAN BE ON "TEEN MOM 4"! AND MAKE LOTS OF MONEY". Seriously, the girls get ,000 for participating in "16 and Pregnant" (possibly more now that it's gotten significantly more popular), and probably a lot more per episode of "Teen Mom".

      On a side note, the terrible obvious editing (the girls hair changing color/style several times on what's supposed to be the "same day", and the scenes they obviously film much later to complete a storyline for an episode- i.e. Jenelle getting invited to the birthday party, or Leah telling her friends about her engagement) and the fact that they make the girls pretend to struggle financially (I don't care if they don't have them mention the fact that they make hundred thousands and just leave the money subject alone, but to try to convince people to believe people who are "reality tv stars" are struggling just insulting to ones intelligence).

      I watched the first seasons of both shows, but no longer watch such trash.

  26. QUESTION:
    What are some good PC games for women?
    Hello all- I am looking for a good PC game for women. I am thirty years old and I love gaming but it seems like it is near impossible to find something good for women. I will describe the things I like and hopefully you can help me out because this pregnant lady needs something to do. I do not like the shoot em' up games like Halo (my hubbies favorite game) becaues I suck at them and they are just not any fun to me. I do not like stupid girl games like the little restaurant server games where they get really old really fast. I do not like games that are to easy because I like a little bit of a challenge. I really like inter-active games and games that you can play on-line with other people. Games that I have enjoyed playing in the past are:
    Grand Theft Auto
    Bully
    Super Mario Brothers
    CSI

    I like games that have a story line and sort of give you mysteries that you have to solve. Help me out people! I need something to do!
    Sorry I also like games that have a plot......no sims or game show games :)

    • ANSWER:
      I'm a female gamer and I consider gaming as an entertaining challenge.
      Hence, these are my favourites:

      Quake Live:

      According to my opinion games aren't the best medium to tell stories, hence I suggest these:

  27. QUESTION:
    Is anyone else pregnant and ready to kill their husband?
    I swear if my husband comes out of today alive he should be deemed the luckiest man on earth!!!

    Not only did I get NO sleep last night, not a single minute, because he was moving around so much and FARTING all night long...but he also feels the needs to be a complete douchbag today. When we put our 2yr old son down for his nap I asked if I could have a nap (since I didn't sleep last night) and it was fine so I went and laid down. Next thing you know hubby turns on the playstation! The living room is right outside our bedroom door, and even with the door shut all I can hear is the "click click click" of him pressing the buttons on the controller. It was one of those games where you have to press one button really fast repeatedly. This is surprisingly loud. I am one of those people who needs complete silence to fall asleep, and he knows this. So after 2 hours of trying to have a nap I decide to just get up since our son would be up any minute. I walk out into the living room to find that hubby didn't even bother to pick up before he turned his game on. The living room had toys and art supplies (hubby was painting) all over the place still! I spent all day Saturday cleaning my butt off when I am supposed to be on limited activity bed rest!!!! And he can't even bother to pick up???? Now, he has 2 friends over and they are outside working on their bikes. My hubby left the tool closet open and our son keeps getting into it. I have asked him to put what he isn't using away and close up the closet. Only after our son getting into it 600 more times and me asking him a little less nicely does he close it. All while giving me this angered look like I am some psycho b*tch for asking him to put some tools away and close the door so our son doesn't get hurt! Gaaahhhhh ....I know I am pregnant (31 weeks) and hormonal, but I swear he is just like clueless today.

    Anybody else have days like this? Please tell me all about it!

    Sorry I just needed to vent a little :)
    haha no I have not considered leaving. This is not how he always is...I think some days he just wakes up without common sense. MOST of the time he is amazing!
    LOL at some of these answers.

    Just for the record, cleaning up would have taken all of 5 mins. It was just picking up toys and putting his art supplies away, it's not like he'd be clanking the whole time I was trying to nap.

    No I don't expect him to sit in silence when I nap. He knows my issue with the play station. He could have been doing a lot of other quiet things, like finishing up his artwork if he wanted, doing his thing on the computer, he could have gone out skateboarding since he ALWAYS bugs to do this at the most inopportune times.

    We have a very good relationship and we are pretty good at communicating...its just one of those days today when I could kill him haha. This is NOT how things are very often.

    It was just really important to me today to have that nap, and he knew that, he even told me to have a nap earlier in the day. He knows how tired I was today.

    • ANSWER:
      OMG, I just HAVE to laugh! I had one of these days today too, and thought about putting a "vent" question on Y!A too! LOL! Honestly, I feel for you though. When you don't get any sleep, you're pregnant and hormonal, taking care of a toddler, and doing e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g else, sometimes you just want to pull your hair out! It's like your hub doesn't get it; it's that simple! He just doesn't get it!

      I tell ya, this past week has been horrendous over here. My husband has been on call and he does IT, so when he gets the calls at night, he has to get up, go on his work computer, and fix the problem. Well, the first three nights, we got called 23 times!!! Yes, 23 times!!! That's 8 times two nights and 7 times another! Needless to say, my husband is a heavy sleeper, so he has his phone on SO loud and, OF COURSE, Hayden and I hear it. Nothing like having a 21 month old who gets woken up 8 times a night. Ugh... It makes for looong nights and even looonger days, so it seems.

      We really do have a great relationship, just like you and your man. You get along, communicate well, have the same goals, want the same for your family, and so on. But, sometimes I just don't feel we're on the same wavelength. I absolutely wanted to ring his neck this morning. He's like "Hurry, it's 8am and I have to leave for work in 30 minutes! Get in the shower!" So, what did I do? Shower in 10 minutes, throw up my hair, throw the first thing I could find on, and run out to watch our son so he could shower. WHAT DOES HE DO? Decide to take 45 minutes in the shower and go in at 9am instead! I was like WTF?! Don't you make me rush when you're going to dilly dally and head in later on (he doesn't HAVE to be there at anytime, he just LIKES to be there early). Seriously, I almost flipped a lid. He apologized though and understood where I was coming from though, after I explained it to him. Nonetheless, I was still quite heated about it. Ugh... Ah well... We're allowed our moments I guess! They happen in all relationships I'm sure.

      Hope things ease up a bit. :o )

  29. QUESTION:
    some questions i have?
    question 1: i have bad acne and i don't feel pretty i feel ugly i don't know what to do ( am 13 years old in 7th grade)

    question 2: what are some online games where you can get pregnant or raise babies i know all the sims, second life, imvu, virtual villagers, virtual family, babydow, baby valley ect.

    • ANSWER:
      There are several different things you can do for acne, but this is honestly the best I've found to do.

      1: When you wake up, wash your face with no-fragrance soap. Rinse. Wash your face AGAIN.
      --What this does: The first wash rinses surface grease off your skin, the second removes dirt from underneath the grease.

      2: Find an oil free moisturizer and gently apply it to your face. Green tea moisturizers are good, gel moisturizers are good. Just make sure that it is oil free.
      --What this does: If you wash your face and let it dry out, your skin will produce more oil to re-moisturize your face and it will clog your pores.

      3: Buy a spot treatment. I personally like Clearasil 4 hour spot treatment.
      --What this does: If you're getting a pimple, pop that stuff on and it will help immensely.

      Try to drink more water. Touch your face less. Don't wear tons of make up. (especially in 7th grade!) Don't eat a lot of greasy foods. Healthy diet = Healthy skin.

      A good once a week exfoliation mask (something that scrubs away dead skin cells and lets new skin shine through) is this:

      Get two aspirin pills. Uncoated aspirin is best. Not ibuprofen, not advil, ASPIRIN. Okay. Put the two uncoated aspirin pills on a plate and put a tiny drop of water on each of them. (enough to get them wet, but don't drown them) Set aside.
      Get organic honey and put about a tablespoon onto the plate. When the aspirin has dissolved (and by dissolved, I mean it'll look like tiny little chunks, kind of like wet white sand) mix it into the honey. Wash your face twice like I said before, and rub the honey/aspirin mixture onto your face. move your fingers in circles and let it gently scrub your skin. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse it off.
      --What this does: Aspirin is an anti inflammatory medicine and will help the swelling of your acne. Honey is an antioxidant and anti bacterial, and will get deep into your skin and suck out all the bad gunk that's stuck in your pores.

  30. QUESTION:
    Can anyone identify the PC game where you are in charge of a Scandinavian village?
    I used to play a game on the computers at school. This was around 2001 or 2002. It was a strategy game where you were in charge of a Scandinavian village and had to take charge of things like trade and agriculture, as well as settling various cases that were brought to you; these were presented as a story of what has happened (eg someone's got an unmarried girl pregnant/there's been a murder) and a list of options. I really want to find this game again but can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Can anyone help me?
    It's not Anno or Patrician. Thanks for having a try, though.

    Any other ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      sounds like Patrician to me
      there is also a lot of sailing involved around the Hanse and you can get other villages to add to your collection

  31. QUESTION:
    Pregnant- am i crazy or is this normal?
    I'm 6 months pregnant and have become jealous! My husband gets home from work and heads straight to his computer to play this online game where you can talk to other people on a microphone or on the game- its called wow. Anyway he gets straight on the game and starts talking to people on the microphone and game and he keeps talking to this one girl on the mic and game. I told him I'm jealous and he says I am being selfish because I never got this jealous before my pregnancy. I just want him to talk to me and stop talking to this chick! He says she has a husband but it still fumes me! Does this jealousy thing happen to anyone else or am I just crazy? Lol

    • ANSWER:
      you aren't being selfish one bit, HE is...
      you cant control your hormones, mood swings or jealousy - it's all a part of pregnancy. it can also make you more possessive, paranoid, stressed out over little things...
      believe me, i've been there.
      you can't help it, it's part of pregnancy. tell your hubbby he needs to understand that and respect how you feel or just shut up lol, it's not like he has to carry around a giant baby everywhere, and go through the pain of birth. he gets it easy, and should be doing what YOU need and want - to an extent.
      congrats =]

  39. QUESTION:
    I can't believe what I found on a children website...how does stuff like this make sense for children?
    I had just found a website that looked like it was aimed at girls, it has a collection of flash dress up games and other things that a young female audience would enjoy. So I figured that my daughter and I could play the games together (she's only 3 but they had the Disney Fairies and she likes to play dress up with dolls). I of course went through many of the games looking for stuff that suited her age and my taste. When what should come SCREAMING off the page as I glanced at a listing of games...

    "Sweet MOM to be" dress up game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    http://dressupmix.com/Free-Dressup-Games/Dressup/Sweet-Mom-To-Be.html

    I of course thought that it had to be a typo or something else then what I thought it was, so I tried it out. NO typo there- it's actually a game where you can 'dress up' a pregnant (she doesn't look like a woman- she looks like a TEENAGER) person. You can even change the backgrounds- one is the outside of a building with HOSPITAL written on the front and the other is a GYN examination room. I was more than appalled that this kind of thing would EVER be considered a good idea for a game. I started looking around the site for more information, so I followed the "For Advertisers" link and found that they provide this information for their perspective advertisement.

    Our resource visits more than 1.5 million girls monthly at the age from 7 till 21 years, spending on a site more than 12 minutes for a session.

    Our audience:
    Girl's age:
    From 7 till 12 years - 15 %
    From 13 till 17 years - 75 %
    From 18 till 21 years - 10 %

    Appropriate Ad Categories:
    Entertainment, Beauty&Personal Care, Shopping, Lifestyle, Food &Nonalcoholic beverages, Games&Toys, Online communities, Sports, Education.
    (At least the scan advertisers before they put them up...but apparently games do not get such a rigorous screening.)

    Is it just me? Am I getting old? Is it just because I'm a teacher and I had my daughter later in life that I find this inappropriate? Some feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    "I remember pretending to be pregnant and playing with dolls until 13! It was so fun to me, not that I would actually get pregnant at that age, It was all in fun. "

    Yeah I remember one of my friends wanting nothing more than to be pregnant- I think she was 11 when she started saying things like that. Unfortunately she WAS pregnant by 14.

    You know normally I would say "it's just a game" but this isn't a site that promotes this as a make believe game. They have other games that have babies (not pregnancy) like Mother Daughter Club, Super Mom, and even Super Dad- but all of those characters in the games LOOK older.

    • ANSWER:
      I took a quick glance at it but I'm not surprised.

      A lot of sites like this are around.

      If you go to - http://www.commonsensemedia.org/ you'll see a lot of sites aimed at kids are clearly inappropriate.

      What is worse though is a lot of babysitters, nannies, or grandparents will trust the kid friendly looking sites. They will think it is ok & safe.

      This is where a parent needs to do their job and teach their kids what is safe or not stop.

  41. QUESTION:
    Baby Name Game #5! What names will you pick?
    Well, another one of those name games where you get to name your big family, all with sparkling personalities!

    1. You get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl! The elder of the twins is the boy, who has wavy medium brown hair like you and your husband's deep blue eyes. The girl looks like your mini-me, with the same wavy brown hair and your soft, hazel eyes. They're perfect - adorable, bubbly, and always ready for a cuddle. What do you name them?

    2. Two years later, you decide you're ready for another bundle of joy. She turns out to be a baby girl, with golden-blond hair like your hubby, although much curlier! She's an adorable little lady, loving to dress up and pose for the camera. What is this doll's name?

    3. A few months pass. Your best friend calls you to deliver some great news - she's pregnant with triplets, two boys and a girl, and you're their godmother! She's already chosen Lucas Alexander for one of the boys and Daniella Grace for the girl, and she wants you to name the other boy! What do you name him?

    4. Two years later, you have a handsome baby boy. He has light brown hair and light blue eyes. He looks like a little of you and a little of his daddy! He's a mischievous baby who loves to laugh. What do you name him?

    5. A couple of years down the road, you decide to adopt a shelter dog. You find an adorable greyhound-Doberman mix. She's such a sweetie and is ever so friendly. What do you name her?

    6. A year passes. Your sister, a hardworking widow, dies during childbirth. You take in the baby girl who survived her. The baby looks exactly like your sister, with the same soft chestnut hair and green eyes that your sister has. You decide that the baby's middle name will be Rosalyn, in honor of your sister. What will the baby's first name be, though?

    (You don't have to read the following part, but it might help you in your naming adventures!)

    1. The boy grows up and takes an interest in politics, studying political science in college and then law in graduate school. He is later elected into the State Senate and is well-respected for his wisdom and calm attitude. His twin studies computer programming. She becomes a master of all things computer!

    2. Your baby girl grows up and takes an interest in dancing, becoming a professional ballerina and starring in many famous ballets. However, at the peak of her career, she is in a car crash and becomes paralyzed from the neck down. She begins to take a new path, becoming a filmmaker and directing many popular films.

    3. Your godchildren form a popular 3-person band called 'The MusiKams,' becoming a pop sensation! Daniella mantains a strong friendship with your second daughter.

    4. That mischievous baby grows up to become a star basketball player for the NBA, being at 6'8" and playing center.

    5. Your puppy grew up and starred in one of your second daughter's films, becoming a canine actress famous for her role as Priscilla in the comedy film "Miss Priss and I."

    6. Your adopted niece became an actress, as Jodie-Beth, Priscilla's owner in "Miss Priss and I." She went on to star in many other popular films.

    What a family! Hope you have fun naming your huge family, and feel free to star this question so your contacts can join in on the fun!

    • ANSWER:
      1.) Aaron Mitchell and Elizabeth Clare "Aaron and Beth"
      2.) Katrina Lynn "Kari"
      3.) Gabriel James
      4.) Trace Jordan-Luis
      5.) Willow
      6.) Liliana Rosalyn

      I picked Aaron Mitchell because it's just a name I love. You stated that his twin would look like my 'mini-me,' so I named her Elizabeth after myself, and then I chose Clare because I love the name Claire, but that spelling looks girly and annoying for some reason IMO. I like Clare a lot better. Elizabeth would go by Beth, since Liz sounds trashy IMO and I already use the nickname Elzi. Katrina is one of my favorite names and I love Lynn with it. I don't really like the name Gabriel James (it's okay) but I thought it would go well with Daniella and Lucas in a sib-set. Then I chose Trace Jordan-Luis because you mentioned he would be a basketball player, so I named him for my three favorite basketball players - Trace for Tracy McGrady, Jordan for Michael Jordan, and Luis for Luis Scola. Willow would be for the dog since I really like that name and it would sound sweet on her. Then finally I went with Liliana Rosalyn since I thought it sounded sweet. I almost went with Victoria, but I hate the nickname Tori for some reason. LOL.

      Anyway, fun game; thanks! (:

  42. QUESTION:
    Sims 3 Aliens for a Sims 3 game, or expansion.?
    Wouldn't it be so awesome if EA made a game with just Aliens. Have a whole new different planet, different objects, everything. Be able to make every possible monster/alien you wanted. Any color, not just green and blue or red. Have Four eyes or Six. Different clothes. This would be so cool. I think though, I'm so bored with the sims games, they're all the same pretty much. Why can't there be like trains, or boats, cruise ships, vacations? Aliens sounds fun. They haven't really delved into them that much, I mean, yea they have abductions and the male sims get pregnant in sims 2 and they're so ugly with their little noses. In sims 3 Aliens, you could make a really tiny alien with three fingers and slit nose, I mean anything, webbed feet. OH YEA, build houses under water, like bubble things and you could see all the fish swimming around. Have space ships flying to different worlds with different Alien people, have different kinds of species. That kind of sounds like spore, but this would be sims 3- a game where you can play your person. What would you guys think of a Sims 3 Alien game. - People who like sims 3. :) thanks. I also know that there's a sims 3 medieval game coming in march sometime, that looks fun. Anyway, about the Sims 3 Aliens.

  43. QUESTION:
    need advise on sticky situation, PLEASE HELP!?
    I met this guy (let’s call him tom*) two and half years ago, and I fell hard for him the moment I met him. It’s weird because when he would be upset - I would go home and cry, when he got hurt – I was the one who felt the pain. Its like it felt his emotions and I would have done (and still will) do ANYTHING for him i.e. going out of my way to mail his letters, letting him borrow my mp3, going up and down lots of stairs to open the back door for him. Anything he asks I will do. About a yr ago he cheated on his girlfriend with me and a friend of mine (we were all friends and didn’t even know he was doing this!!). I ended up getting pregnant, I miscarried b/c of the stress and I never told him b/c he played us all. I hate to admit and I afterward I hated him for it because I thought he finally wanted to be with me. (He didn’t know and still doesn’t know how I really feel about him, and I can’t tell him either) so as I was hating him, I came to the realization that I loved him and as fiercely as I hated him, I also loved him in the same manner... crazy right? How can you hate some and love them at the same time? After all the drama Tom and I became friends again because I couldn’t stand to lose him out of my life (even if that meant just being a friend, knowing that he would never like me that way).so for about a 1yr and a half we’ve been living in a friendship/flirting type of atmosphere (because I still hope that one day we’ll be together.. pathetic I know)and just the other night, I was presented with an opportunity to be with him again and I leaped at the chance (stupid I know but the thought of falling asleep and waking up in his arms is what really, really wanted) at the very last moment he changed his mind and I was crushed. On Monday he’s leaving to go to basic training and I won’t see him for 6 months and when he comes back he may be going to Iraq. I can’t keep playing these games where he seems like he likes me and then he doesn’t. I am terribly attached him and cant cut him out of my life even though that’s probably whats good for me. helpppp me! I just don’t know what to do! Has this ever happened to you?

    • ANSWER:
      Sorry to say, but you have to get over this guy. All he's doing is making your life harder. He's just a player who uses women. You need to find someone else. When you do find another guy then it'll be easier to leave him. By waiting around you're just making things harder for yourself. You'll probably always have a place for him in your heart but it would make your life a whole lot easier if you found someone else to take up a bigger part, that way you can lock him away and move on.

  44. QUESTION:
    Do you have to do this with your kids when their other parent calls?
    I will try to be brief:

    Ex and I were never married. Teenagers when she got pregnant. She broke up with me. Refused to let me see my daughter. Had to drag her through court and fight EVERYTHING because she was determined to keep me away from my daughter. Finally met my daughter a few weeks before she turned 4.

    When daughter first started staying with me I was DETERMINED not to let my hate of ex get in the way of my parenting of daughter. One night she got upset and was missing mommy. I had her call mommy. Reasonable right? Well ex got daughter even MORE upset and told her she was coming to get her right then. I got on the phone and said no. She started screaming at me, cursing me out, threatening me, etc so I hung up. Did not take daughter back. Got her calmed down and she didn't even remember the episode the next morning.

    Fast forward: I now have joint custody and our Guardian ad Litem is likely to give me full custody after she finishes investigating. Ex has been in a LOT of legal trouble for her little antics in trying to keep me away from daughter.

    This weekend, ex called daughter way after her bedtime (and court ordered cut off time for calls) Daughter was still up, though, since it was a holiday so I let them speak. Ex hadn't called for daughter in about a week so I wasn't going to be a stickler. Less than a minute passed and ex had daughter in tears. I had daughter say goodnight and I love you and hung up the phone. She plays this game where she talks about all the fun things daughter is missing (may or may not be true) and gets her worked into tears and "missing mommy" In the past, it has taken me over two hours to get daughter calmed down after one of these phone calls. This time it only took ten minutes, but while I was soothing daughter ex called 3 more times and sent 5 more texts complaining about not getting enough time and threatening "You better let me talk to MY child or I'll call the cops" etc. Needless to say, I didn't respond and she did NOT talk to child again.

    Because of Sunday's episode, daughter had a huge break down last night when I reminded her she had to go see mom for a 24 hour visit. She was sobbing that she didn't want to go. I reminded her that mommy missed her too and it wasn't fair to mommy to cry about the time they spent together. Daughter eventually agreed and calmed down. I know it's normal to get upset about transitions, but I soothe my daughter by reminding her how much each parent loves her. My ex exacerbates the issue by telling her she doesn't have to see me if she doesn't want to, that she knows I'm mean to daughter, etc. (And she wonders why she keeps losing rights...)

    I feel like a jerk when I have to hang up the phone, but what else can I do? Ex won't quit playing these stupid games and I'm not going to let her keep making my little girl cry because ex wants to try to hurt me. Daughter is only 6. She doesn't need this. Does anyone else have to hang up the phone like this? Does anyone else deal with the episodes later?
    Spindrift: Um wow... So you really can't read and I sure hope you're not a parent since you clearly have NO idea how hard of a job it is.

    • ANSWER:
      You can and should do everything in your power to follow any court-ordered procedures...even if that means that daughter doesn't get to speak to her mom for six weeks. You can't be found at fault if you are enforcing the rules. And remember, that everytime you allow the Ex to break the rules a bit, you are also giving her permission to do it again. Give an inch and she will take a mile, eh? If she calls ranting and raving...just help her "unwind", let her scream and threaten and say whatever she wants...don't agree or disagree, simply say "hmmm" or "really?" or "yeah", "I hear you" or some other noncommital noise...but don't let her talk to the daughter. Ex will just eventually run out of steam or unwind.

      As tempting as it might be to let your daughter skip visits with her mom, don't let her do that. Your daughter needs to come to her own conclusions about her mom and their relationship. That doesn't mean that you have to let her suffer...yes, you will have to help her pick up the pieces afterward, sooth the hurt, help her to understand what is going on. But, even a 6 year-old can and will and has the right to make her own decisions about her mom. Why would you want to prevent that from happening? If you let her skip visits, she will not have the information she needs to make that decision. (If there is abuse...another story all together! Then you keep her away.)

      Missing mommy...hmmm. I get that, I really do. But missing someone is not a feeling that necessarily needs to be solved. You agree with it, accept it, and learn to go on. It is a kind of grief. And it also shows that your daughter is actually cognizant that mommy is not there, that mommy is doing other things without her, and it is a healthy response to the situation. You don't have to "cure" missing someone. Instead of upsetting phone call back to mommy, how about: let's draw a picture of what you are going to do with mommy when you see her next? or Draw a picture of what you think you'd be doing with mommy right now? or Draw a picture of what you think mommy is doing right now without you? use this as a conversation starter...say only: "Tell me about your picture." Let your daughter come to her own conclusions. OR you can simply say that yep missing people we love and are away from is hard...talk about someone that YOU miss and explain how you deal with that. And then, MOVE ON...go make hot chocolate or ask her to help you do something: fold clothes, sweep the kitchen, water the plants...something/anything else. Go with the I-miss-mommy thing for 10 minutes; and then suck it up and move on to something else. If you allow your daughter to stay in that dynamic, you're tacitly teaching her that she should stay in that dynamic. Acknowledge it, and accept it, and wallow in it for 10 minutes...and then get up and do something else.

      Document, document, document. Get a calendar that you use just for this purpose. On the July 5 block, you write: phone call 10:17 pm, text 10:32 pm. Write down any thing your daughter says to you verbatim. Telling someone (lawyer, judge, social worker) that your daughter is "afraid" is not the same thing as being able to say that "On July 5, daughter said, 'Mommy told me that she wouldn't love me if I stayed with you.'" See the difference? Save any text messages as evidence.

      You are in charge. Create the situation that you want...don't just accept the one that your Ex or your daughter present to you. Mold it into something positive and healthy for all concerned. Seriously recommend that you search for some self-help or how-to books at your local library...get a whole stack of them and take hints from all of them. No particular one will have all your answers. And, don't forget that there are professionals that can assist you in your parenting, or assist your daughter deal with her burden. Don't be afraid to ask for help...professionals will be more effective than well-intentioned family or neighbors.

      Finally, when your daughter returns to school in the fall, be sure to inform her teacher of the situation. And, you should enquire whether or not her school has any sort of Counselor-led support groups for children of "divorce." Or maybe the counselor could recommend some good resources for you.

    Hey
    So a while ago I had this really weird dream it was really long & can't remember most of it but
    There's this boy I really like he was there with me & there was a road with multiple streets cutting through it on one side like this:
    |_
    |_
    |_
    |_
    |

    And we were running across the roads and jumping over cars (kinda like those games where you have to avoid cars lol)

    He had blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes (he looked so like the little boy that died Baby P (Peter) ppl from uk might know who I mean
    So anyway I stopped and picked him up and rested him on my hip and I instantly knew he had no parents but he wasn't crying
    I felt a really strong pull to him and I haven't been able to get him out my head since
    He was wearing a red jumper if that is significant

    :S please help

    • ANSWER:
      All dreams are personal. There is no one better qualified on earth to tell you what they mean than you yourself. The simple reason is that only you have had the experiences that have led up to the moment you have the dream.
      A dream does not predict the future, nor does it say anything profound about the past. They do not contain cryptic messages for anyone to unravel.
      A dream is a disorganised organisation of the days events, in it you will glimpse the place where things are filed away, and where they have come from. Your conscious mind tries to make sense of these disconnected images by creating a narrative- a story.

Gender Birth Calendar

Can You Really Control Your Baby's Gender? Or Is This An Old Wives Tale?
I sometimes have people contact me and ask me if it's an old wive's taleor a misconception that you can control your baby's gender or whether you have a boy or a girl. The answer to this depends on which methods you plan to use, which I'll discuss more in the following article.

The truth is, you can control your baby's gender if you're using artificial means to do so. Couples using a specialty clinic that employs preimplantation genetic diagnosis (which determines the baby's gender before implantation) has very high success rates. But this process is extremely expensive and isn't going to be the answer for every couple.

I believe that you can influence your baby's gender using natural methods at home. I'm not sure that it would be totally accurate to say that you can 100% percent control your baby's gender this way, but you can definitely greatly influence it. To break this down even more, in order to have a boy baby, you need for a Y sperm chromosome to fertilize the egg. If you want a girl, you need for this sperm chromosome to be an X instead.

One of the reasons that PGD has a high success rate is that the clinic is able identify and then hand pick whether an X or Y chromosome is used. Since you can't see what's going on once the sperm is released and makes it's way toward your egg, it's difficult for you to replicate this at home. However, based on what we know about how the these different chromosomes react to their environment and the challenges that they often face, you can use this knowledge to influence which chromosomes are ultimately successful and result in a pregnancy. This in turn most definitely can influence your baby's gender.

For example, because we know that the Y (or boy producing) sperm have much shorter life spans than the X or girl producing sperm, it makes sense to wait to have intercourse until you are absolutely sure you have ovulated. This ensures that you will have as many viable and healthy Y's in the race to the egg. Following this same train of thought, knowing that the Y's are particularly vulnerable to acidic surroundings, you will want to use douches or a special diet to ensure that you are alkaline. This is one other way that you can give those Y's the best chance possible while minimizing their vulnerabilities and maximizing the advantage that they do have (which is speed.)

If you want a girl baby, the idea is the same. The X or girl producing sperm chromosomes are more hardy, but are somewhat slow. So, you'd want to have intercourse before ovulation and you'd want to make sure that you are acidic. This in turn would contribute to their being less Y's and more X's in the race for the egg, which would increase your chances for a girl.

So my answer to the question of "is it an old wive's talethat you can control whether you have a girl or a boy baby" would be no, it's not a myth if you are talking about using a clinic or invasive methods. And, while it may be asking too much to control you baby's gender using natural methods at home, it's certainly realistic to think that you could influence your baby's gender or increase your odds of having a girl or a boy baby, depending on which you want.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender. You'll find: resources for douche recipes and food PH lists; step by step instructions; resources for determining ovulation times (and examples of good PH and ovulation predictors;) information on when to conceive; and support.

    Chinese Lunar Birth Calendar - could it actually work?
    i was just reading a thing about choosing genders of babies, so i googled it and this thing came up about the Chinese Lunar Birth Calender which is a famous gender-predicting calendar drawn up by a Chinese scientist and then buried in a royal tomb 700 years ago.

  4. QUESTION:
    Chinese Sex Gender Birth Predictor...Is it real?
    I was recently surfing the web and I happened to come across a wonderful website called stumbleupon.com. Its amazing check it out. Anyway, as I was stumbling, I came ascrosss an ancient Chinese gender chart. Now on this chaart it (supposedly) tells you (by age of the mother t conception and month of conception) what gender your baby will be. Now I really want to have a boy and by the looks of this chart I only have untill the end of this month to get pregnant or else I will only get pregnant with girls for the rest of the year. I really dont care either way if I have a boy or girl any baby is a gift from God. I just wanted to know If anyone else thinks this chart is true...so check it out and let me know what you think.
    babymed.com/tools/other/chinese_gender_calendar/Chart.aspx
    I also looked at the cahrt to figure out if it was true for my mother (who has 2 kids me and my little brother) and it turned out to be right

    • ANSWER:
      I asked this question about this time last year when I was pregnant and saw the Chinese gender chart. It turned out to be wrong, I was supposed to have a boy.
      Gender has nothing to do with a Chinese chart. Obviously there is no way that the chart could see into everyone's sperm in the world and always be correct. Since there are only two choices for gender, it is always fifty-fifty, no matter what. It's just like any other old wives tales. The gender of a child is decided by which type of sperm fertilizes with the egg. And I hate to say it, but if this thing were true, there wouldn't be any women in China trying to conceive during the months that would produce girls. And with the amount of abortions there are over there, and the amount of women getting pregnant over and over until they have sons instead....the chart isn't something to take seriously.

  5. QUESTION:
    Is it just a coincidence that the Chinese birth calendar has been correct for me 3 times?
    Have you also found it to be correct with your baby gender??
    Here's the calendar:

    http://www.webwomb.com/chinesechart.htm

    • ANSWER:
      For your chart it is wrong 2 times and right two time for my 4 children. Another chinese chart was right 3 times and wrong once. So I don't beleive in these charts.

  6. QUESTION:
    chinese birth calendar?
    i find out the gender of my little one tomorrow, & i was wondering if anyone had used the chinese birth calendar, & if it was accurate or not. i know it has had some crazy accurate results on some of my friends. according to the chart, i should be having a little boy so tomorrow we'll find out if its true or not. (:

    • ANSWER:
      I have 2 girls & I tried it with both of them. The first time it eas right and the second time said a boy but there is clearly a baby girl sleeping beside me! =)

  7. QUESTION:
    What week did you find out gender of your baby?
    Just for fun really.. im so impatient and want to know if im carrying a boy or girl.. im secretly hoping for a girl.. :O)
    Did anyone take the gender blood tests you can buy? If so was it worth the money??
    Anyone have the correct sex according to the Chinese Birth Calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese birth chart was right for all 3 of my kids, but wrong for both my best friends kids. I don't know about a gender blood test you can buy, but I wasted my money on that Intelligender test. What a waste! If I turned it to the boy side, my urine looked kinda green, when I turned it around to the girl side, it looked orange-ish. I even sent the company pictures and wronte them multiple emails and never got a response. They're a rip-off!

  8. QUESTION:
    Chinese birth calendar?!?
    Anyone else done this? Supposedly because I am 19 and concieved in December it's a girl. We can trace conception back, and we think it was either very late november or very early december. (28th - 3rd.) So either way, even if we did concieve in november, it still says i will be having a girl.
    Everything else says I will be having a boy. (I mean wives tales.)
    &I have a feeling it's a boy too..

    Anyone done the chinese calendar? How did It go for you? I'm finding out the gender in under an hour! (ultrasound appt.)

    • ANSWER:
      I did the chinese calendar, said girl, I feel like I'm having a girl. Will see in May!

  9. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the chinese Chinese Lunar Calendar aka Chinese birth chart to predict your baby's sex?
    I was just curious how accurate this thing is. Can you guys try it and let me know?
    Here's the website:
    http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Chinese-conception-gender-chart-9.htm

    • ANSWER:
      I can tell you as a Chinese who was born into a well educated family...no high educated Chinese people use that system. It is called superstition.

      Like someone said, it is a 50/50 chance to get it correctly. However if you think about it, a random guess would also have a 50/50 chance to get it right if you have a large enough sample, since there are only two possibilities(99.99% the time anyway).

  10. QUESTION:
    Has anyone found the chinese gender chart or lunar calendars results accurate?
    i've been looking at these charts online because im 3 months prego and anxious to know if the results of these birth charts are acuurate and if anyone has tried it.thank u in advance.

  12. QUESTION:

    http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/174482/Chinese-birth-predictor--Baby-boy-or-girl-
    or
    http://www.babymed.com/chinese-gender-and-sex-calculator-calendar

    They are somehow similar but not completely!

    • ANSWER:
      only an ultra sound can tell you what you are having and even they can be wrong. i checked 2 different birth charts as a joke last time i was pregnant, one said boy one said girl. i had a boy.

  13. QUESTION:
    how do you figure out your 'chinese' birthday?
    My husband and I have 4 wonderful children. In the future, we would love to add one more. We have one daughter, and three sons. We would LOVE to try and have another girl ( although, truthfully, gender doesn't really matter). I have gone over the Chinese Gender Calendar, and when I calculate my age/month of conception ( for ALL of my other children) none of the predictions are accurate. I have read somewhere that you have to use your Chinese Age, not your actual birth age... I can't figure out how to calculate that correctly though. Has anyone relied on this method, and has it worked for you? Also, how do I calculate my chinese age?

    ( For those of you thinking of asking, YES, we are financially stable, and have the means to raise and care for all of our children!)

    • ANSWER:
      here is the website: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/CAge1.htm
      here is another website: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/pred.html

      There are other ways of having girls also. Eat magnesium and calcium. have sex 3-4 days before you ovulate. Have sex missionary. Make your vagina more acidic by what you eat.
      Best of Luck!

  14. QUESTION:
    What do you think you are having...boy or girl?
    I am a victim of old-wives tales!!! I love them! So, when I take gender-predictor quizzes and look at old-wives tales, it says I will be having a girl. The Chinese Birth Calendar says I will be having a boy. I will be happy either way, but I just enjoy the excitement of the guessing game...even though it's a 50/50 shot!!
    What do you think you are having?
    For those who know already, what did you think versus what you will be having or had?
    I find out on 7/14/08 and I am so thrilled (I'm currently 17 wks, 3 days)!!!
    Oh, I forgot to say what I think I am having...a girl!! Even w/out the old-wives tales, I still feel that way! We'll see! Again, I will be just as happy with a boy! I am just too thrilled to be having a baby!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Oh goodness...I was convinced I was having a girl!! According to the pencil test and ring test I should be having a girl, but according to the ultrasound where I saw a little pee pee and two testicals...IT'S A BOY! I was a little bummed at first (but I didn't let anyone know because) because I had my heart set on a little girl, etc. but now I can't wait for my little man to get here and I feel silly for ever having gotten upset over something like that!

  17. QUESTION:
    do you think i am having a boy or girl?
    I am 13 and a half weeks pregnant. My Boyfriend and I are trying to guess what we think I am having ( just for fun were not rely on what our guess say). Any how we did the ring test over the belly and when I do it I always get girl except once I got boy. My boyfriend has only done it on my two times but both times got Boy. I had a lot less morning sickness this pregnancy then I did with my last (last time its was a boy) so the midwife guessed girl based on that. If we do the gender predication calendar it comes up boy ( I was 23 when I conceived and a conceived in Sept) unless we use my Chinese year (which I calculated to be 25) and the lunar month witch I calculated to be either the 7th or 8th lunar month depending on what day I conceived. I f I conceived on Sept 17th or before it says girl, if I conceived on Sept 18th or after it says boy. Problem is I don’t know for sure what day I conceived. My periods before were always irregular. But I had got on birth control in June of 09. So because I was on birth control I was a regular 28 cycle (I think) I would always start on the third day of my placebo pill and my periods were about 5 or 6 days long. My last “period” was Sept 9th and was completely normal. I had a ultra sound right after I discover I was pregnant in Oct and I was 5 weeks along at that time. I am now 13 weeks and 2 days. My due date is June 16th. Does anyone have any idea on when I conceived. Also just for fun what do you think I am having. A month ago baby’s heart beat was 160. Last night it was 150. (my sons heart beat was always 150).

    • ANSWER:
      According to www.pregnology.com, which is kind of a neat website, your conception date was Wednesday, September 23.

  18. QUESTION:
    All signs point to boy?
    I found out I am having a boy just this morning! Measured 23w1d but I'm "supposed" to be 23w4d so not much difference and it's just a round about thing, I know. His heartrate has been around 145, I carry low, the "ring" test pointed toward boy, chinese birth calendars, the old wives tales etc all said boy but above all I just knew it was a boy and now we are being blessed with our second child. :) Lilly is 19 months tomorrow so she doesn't quite know what's going on yet tho she did have a pleasant time at the u/s today.
    So, did you just know what you were having and were you right? did all things point to one gender and you have the other?
    If you had a young child/toddler, how did they act/react and did you do anything to prepare them?
    BQ- we have had the name Kaeleb Royce picked out (royce after his grandfather and father), so beside the spelling wdyt???

    *on very seldom due to lack of internet usage*
    have a good day mommies!

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations! So very exciting! I love the name Kaeleb, and I think it is great you are using a family name. I have family names picked out for a girl and boy.

      I have a 4 year old son. I knew from the moment I found out I was pregnant he was a boy. Call it mother's intuition, but I NEVER had an inclination of a girl with that pregnancy. I am now 18 weeks pregnant with my second. I just have a gut feeling it's a girl. My pregnancy has been completely different this time around, and difficult. From early on I have wanted to buy girly things, but I have refrained haha. I find out in less than 2 weeks what we are having.

  19. QUESTION:
    Is the UK hushing in the Anti-Christ or Will the UK be the launch pad of the Anti-Christ?
    Jacqui Smith unveils the UK's new identity card - with no sign of Britain (Point1)
    The UK's first identity card for 60 years has been unveiled by Jacqui Smith - with no sign of the union flag or mention of the word Britain(.Point2)

    Instead, the credit card-sized plastic cards carried a picture of a bull - (Bull witha horn)in common with other European Union identity cards - as well as five stars drawn from the stars on the official flag of the EU.

    The card is to be initially issued to people outside the EU renewing their permission to stay in the UK as students or on the basis of marriage.( Using the weakest link in the society to manipulate example: Judas Escariot)

    Between 50,000 and 60,000 cards, which will initially cost £30 each, will be issued by the end of next March and ministers predict one million a year will be handed out from 2010.(2010 research the Maya calendar)

    Officials said the image of a bull represented the Greek myth in which Zeus turns himself into a bull and abducts Europa, a beautiful princess. (Point4)

    Campaigners said it was bizarre that there were not more outward symbols of Britishness on the card, given that it will be used as a proof of residence.

    Lorraine Mulally, spokesman for campaigners Open Europe, said: "The use of EU symbols, instead of national ones, is part of a wider attempt to promote the idea of a common European citizenship, which EU federalists have been pushing for some time.( A new world order)

    "The Government seems happy to buy into this." How about the people?

    Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party, added: "A British ID card without a British flag on it?

    Instead we have the symbol of Europa, and we know what Zeus did to her.

    Do we need or want ID cards in the first place? Is the UK really free? People in a free country don't require them.

    Does Miss Smith, the former Home Secretary acting out the plot of the Devil? Bribe Judas and get out of the picture

    She pointed out that the pink and blue card displayed the Government's coat of arms on the front.

    On the reverse, the four national flowers or plants of the countries that make up the United Kingdom are etched into the plastic - the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock

    This is not science fiction.....

    The cards contain the individual's name, their photograph, the card's expiry date and details of how long they can stay in the country.

    Other information includes people's date and place of birth, their gender, nationality, and whether they are entitled to benefits.

    Biometric data, including copies of all of the person's fingerprints, will be stored on a special security chip.

    Miss Smith admitted that it would be impossible to include fingerprints of some people on the card. But she denied that taking 10 prints from the elderly or those with missing fingers would be a problem.

    She said: "It is so exceptional that it will not undermine the fundamental nature of the scheme. In the very few cases of people who cannot give a fingerprint, we are looking at mechanisms to deal with those categories."

    The card will start to be issued on November 25 to foreign nationals at offices in Croydon, Glasgow, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff.

    From next year anyone working in the restricted areas in Britain's airports would need to have an ID card and it will be made generally available to British citizens from 2011.

    Those cards, which will be voluntary,(?) may look different and display different information but they will enable the holder to travel without a passport around the EU.

    Miss Smith said the cards would protect against identity fraud, illegal working, and help people prove their identity easily.

    She said: "Many people want securely and quickly to be able to prove their identity and want to be able to check people are who they say they are."

    The Conservatives reaffirmed the party's commitment to scrapping ID cards if they win the next election, likely in 2010.

    The party pointed out that ID cards will not be required by foreigners who are here for less than three months.

    Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve said: "ID cards are an expensive white elephant that risk making us less - not more safe. It is high time the Government scrapped this ill-fated project.

      Is this the credit card antichrist, the cellphone antichrist or the barcode antichrist? Enough with the nonsense already!

  20. QUESTION:
    How true is the ring trick for telling the gender?
    I did the ring on a string over my wrist a few times now and its supposed to pick up the births you already have as well. I have 2 boys now and miscarried last yr at 2 months. When I do the ring it went back and forth 2x for both my boys then in circles 2x perhaps the child I lost was a girl and i'm wondering if i'm having a girl now. I have done this many times infront of my family and then my fiance. I used my ring as well as his class ring which is heavy and it did the same thing. I also have checked the chinese lunar calendar and it says girl plus I done old wives tale quizzes and it comes up girl. Yes i'm really hoping for a girl, but I don't want my hopes to be crushed.

Free Ovulation Calendar

Using An Ovulation Calendar To Conceive Or Get Pregnant With A Girl Baby
I have a blog that is dedicated to helping couples conceive a girl. Someone contacted me through it and suggested that I include an "ovulation calendar for conceiving a girl." I responded by explaining why I don't think these calenders are the best, or most reliable tool. In this article, I'll explain why I don't think they work as well as some other methods and I'll tell you what I think will work much better to get you the daughter that you want.

How Ovulation Calendars Are Supposed To Help You Conceive A Girl: These calendars typically work like this. Usually, you can either do them online or on a paper calendar. You note the days of your menstruation from one month to the next. This will tell you how long (how many days) your menstrual cycle lasts. If you didn't care whether you had a boy or a girl baby, you'dtypically conceive mid cycle usually around day 14. There is no magic to this method. Itis just guessing that at the mid point in your cycle, you are the most fertile. However, couples who want to conceive a girl will want to conceive during the front end of thiswindow (three days prior to ovulation) because the girl sperm are long lived and the boy sperm are not.

This makes sense on the surface, but here's the problem. Not all women conceive mid cycle and notall women conceive on the same day every cycle. I tried this method but nothing was happening. So, I finally broke down and purchased a saliva ovulation predictor. Using it, I could literally see the changes which would indicate that ovulation was on it's way. I was shocked as I approached day 14 and it showed nothing. I panicked for awhile, thinking I wasn't ovulating at all, but eventually saw that I was ovulating on day twenty on one month and on day 22 on another. So I likely would not have been successful in getting pregnant using the calendar method because I would've been about a week early and even girl sperm can not live that long. Even if you are only a few days late or early, this can seriously effect which gender you end up getting.

Methods That Are Far Superior To Ovulation Calendars For Conceiving A Girl Baby: There are other methods to predict your ovulation if you want a girl. Examples are basal temperature, cervical mucus evaluation, and ovulation predictors. I believe that most of these leave too much to chance. Your temperature can go up on down for reasons other than ovulation. Your cervical mucus can change for reasons other than ovulation too. Ovulation predictors are among the only methods that take the guesswork out of the equation. I like saliva because you don't have to use first morning urine and can keep reusing them, but both urine and saliva are much better than the old fashioned methods that require you to guess without seeing a yes or no answer (at least in terms of reliability). Because if you are dead set on having a girl, if you conceive even a few days late, you'll greatly up your odds to get a boy.

Other Things That Will Help You In Conceiving A Girl: Correctly timing ovulation is very important on your quest for a daughter, but to have the best odds, you shouldn't stop there. Natural gender selection for a daughter is based on the fact that the boy sperm are weak and short lived and there are other ways to take advantage of this.

You can also use sexual / intercourse positions that are shallow because this places the sperm far away from the egg, ensuring the boy sperm have a longer time to live (which is difficult for them) before they reach their long destination.

You should also raise your acidity and PHbecause again, this willweaken and encouragethe boy sperm to die off. You can do thisby tweaking your diet to includehighly acidic foods or bydouching. An easy way to approach thisis to test your PH at the beginning of this process to tell you how aggressive you'll need to be(Manywomen will need to both diet anddouche, especially if they want quicker results). And, you can continue to test as you make these changesso that there is no mystery as to where youare trending and when you are ready.

The real key inconceiving a daughter is to be very precisein all of these steps. Don't guess or hope forthe best. Use the tools that are widely available and inexpensive to make absolutely surethat you're exactly where you need to be.

Conceive A Girl is a website I put together to offer step by step instructions, hints, tips, and resources for couples wishing to conceive a baby girl. You'll find resources for douche recipes and food lists, as well as ovulation predictors and PH test strips. Take a look if you like at http://conceive-a-girl-baby.com/

Free Baby Gender Predictor

Free Baby Gender Predictor: Find Out About The Many Ways To Predict Baby Gender As parents, it is totally natural to be curious about your baby's gender as well as baby gender predictors. Too much has been said about your pregnancy baby gender. Grandma says it is a girl because off your regular cravings for sweets. Your aunt says it is a boy because of the shape of your belly. Nowadays, baby prediction methods consists of a wide range of tests and tell-tales from old wive's tales to modern DNA tests. If you are curious about the sex of you baby, below is a lits of free baby gender predictor which may want to consider. Just keep in mind that each free baby gender predictor listed below does not guarantee 100% accuracy and that an ultrasound is still deemed necessary.

Mommy's tummy It is believed that if a woman's belly is high and round, the baby is most likely to be a girl. On the other hand, a protruding belly is believed to be an indication of a baby boy. This tell-tale becomes true oftentimes since the body of a woman as well as her pre-pregnancy health determines how she will carry the baby. Health conditions like uterine fibroids can also affect your baby's condition.
Mommy's face You are more likely to conceive a girl if your face grows round and if your nose grows wider and longer during pregnancy. Meanwhile, if your face starts to narrow, there is a bigger possibility that your baby is a boy. Despite the right assumptions for some, the weight gain in the face does not have any relation to pregnancy baby gender.
Acne Many people believe that having acne during pregnancy is an indication that your baby is going to be a girl. The sudden change in hormones can cause acne during your pregnancy.
Back pain -Some say that back pain can indicate a female sex. In reality, back pain can occur at any time of the pregnancy depending on your baby position, weight gain and the condition of your back.
Heart rate The baby's heart rate may also be a baby predictor. Take baby girl has a fast heart rate, approximately 170 beats per minute while a baby boy has heart beat only gets close to around 150 per minute. Medical practitioners consider this prediction method as unreliable since the baby's heart rate may fluctuate roughly throughout the day.
Wedding ring Some old couples bellieve that your wedding ring can help you detect your baby' gender. All you have to do is simply hang your wedding ring using a string. Hold it over your belly. If the ring swings in a circular motion, you are most likely to conceive a boy. On the other hand, if the ring swings back and forth, there is greater possibility that you are about to have a girl.
Key test The concept is very simple. Simply grab a key. If you grabbed the top, it is more likely to be a boy. If you grabbed the bottom, then there's bigger chances of conceiving a girl. If you pick the key in the middle, this means you are bound to have a twins.

As mentioned, each free baby gender predictor mentioned above does not guarantee you 100% accuracy. For best results, an ultrasound will is highly advised.

How Early Can I Take A Pregnancy Test? Accurate Results From At Home Pregnancy Tests Pregnancy Test Q & A: How early can I take a pregnancy test?
Accurate results from at home pregnancy tests

By Mardie Caldwell, C.O.A.P.

Could it be? When a woman thinks that she may be pregnant, the need to know is simply insatiable. Finding out if she's prego can completely consume her thoughts until she gets her answer. But what happens when things are not as simple as she thought it would be? That's when the quest for the true results becomes more intense.

One of the most frequently asked questions about getting that life-changing "yes" or "no", is to know when is the earliest that someone can take and get fairly accurate results from a pregnancy test. While many pregnancy test companies will tell you that their test can let you know as early as the very next day after your period doesn't show, those claims are pretty much not 100% true. Most pregnancy tests cannot accurately or consistently detect pregnancy that early.

To get the most accurate results, it is best to wait about a week later. So, if you missed your period on Wednesday, you may not want to take that early pregnancy test until the following Wednesday or Thursday. That is when the test will be more reliably able to evaluate the hormone that is the basic indicator for pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG, that appears in your urine.

The reality is that hCG is not the same in every woman at every point. Therefore, the levels that are present after just one day of a missed period could be so faint that they aren't even detected at all. This is not a completely uncommon phenomenon. Actually, it's very common and can be very unnerving for those that get a false answer. For some, their whole world could be turned topsy-turvy if the initial results are less than favorable, whether positive or negative.

So, before you run out and buy a pregnancy test at the first sign of a missed period, relax. Wait about a week and then, take your test. Regardless of how the results fair, chances are you will be able to feel more confident that you have a more accurate answer.

Full Moon And Pregnant Women

All of Your Friends are Getting Pregnant, Why not you?
When it comes to having a baby and getting pregnant you may have loads of friends that have no problem getting pregnant. Some may not even want to get pregnant but do anyway. All the while you struggle with fertility and ride an emotional rollercoaster about getting pregnant. There is help and some things you can do to help yourself be more fertile.

Getting pregnant is what a lot of couples want but many just don't know the ideal things they need to do in order to be fertile and have a better chance of conceiving a baby. This article will guide you through some of the things that you'll need to do in order to be more fertile. First we'll look at contraceptives, then we'll move on to some common myths about getting pregnant.

If you're still on a contraceptive then you should know that it will make your body infertile while on it. Stopping contraceptives can take a bit of time for your body to get itself back in to normal ph levels. This may sound like common sense but what many people don't realize is that some lotions and oils may have contraceptives in them. Make sure you check the label of any product you're using to see if it contains ingredients that can make you fail to conceive.

Some of the common myths about getting pregnant include having sexual intercourse on a full moon and certain positions are better for becoming pregnant. While many have opinions on this there is hardly any scientific proof that these methods or sexual positions have any effect on getting pregnant and that these myths are just that: myths. Having sexual intercourse often can help your chances of getting pregnant and conceiving a baby. So try the different positions, you may just be able to prove the myth.

Free Pregnancy Test

Intorducing a Free Home Pregnancy Test Kit
Reproductive health is a crucial part of general health and a central feature of human development. Among women of reproductive age (15-49 years), the burden of reproductive ill-health is far greater than the disease burden from tuberculosis, respiratory infections, motor vehicle injuries, homicide and violence. Women run the risks of pregnancy, childbirth and unsafe abortion, take most of the responsibility for fertility regulation and are socially and biologically more vulnerable to reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases. The National Population Policy (India), 2000, affirms the commitment of government towards voluntary and informed choice and consent of citizens while availing of reproductive health care services, and continuation of the target free approach in providing family planning services.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), Government of India, through its National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has introduced the rapid home pregnancy test kits (Nishchay). The Nishchay program is not a program for the promotion of the pregnancy test kit alone, but is an entry point to RCH and family planning services for women seeking quality and assured RCH and FP services.

Important key issues addressed by Nishchay are:

1. Low percent of women starting ANC in first trimester due to late detection

2. Contraceptive Provisioning (IUD/Pill) not started after ruling out pregnancy

3. High unsafe abortions due to late detection of pregnancy

The key strategies of the program are community awareness, especially among eligible couples, on Home Based Pregnancy Test Card and RCH services, increased utilization of RCH and FP services, following the test results. Important activities include capacity building of ASHAs (Accredited Social Health Activist) through resource persons with field and NGO experience, brand and logo visibility using mass media campaign, community outreach activities using mid media campaign, and integrating the card into the monitoring system of NRHM/RCH-II.

Implementation of the program is in all Indian States and UT's. The states have been classified into high, medium and low priority groups based on the NFHS-3 data on birthrate and institutional deliveries. In the first phase, the program is launched in the following 11high priority states - Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland.

The implementation team was formulated at the central office of Hindustan Latex Family Planning Promotion Trust, comprising of a Senior Program Manager (Atul Bahl), Training Managers, Training Officers and a Communication Officer. State level consultants were hired in the states for additional support in monitoring of NGOs and on ground activities. The Senior Program Manager is assigned the responsibility of the national roll out of the program and the linked activities.

As planned, the service delivery strategy is being addressed through building capacities of ASHAs on understanding the pregnancy test card, making it easily available to all Eligible Couples in the community and tracking the outcome. Relevant training materials were conceptualized and designed for training of ASHAs. These were shared with the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and have been printed after the approval. NGOs at district level were contacted in all the states, meetings held and the Master trainers identified by them were trained by the project implementation team. Special training materials were designed for them as well.

Demand generation is through using mass media and mid media campaign using local folk, edu - entertainment modality through mobile vans. The program has been very well received by the public and early detection of pregnancy offers many advantages for the mother and the fetus. Many medical benefits depend on early detection, including social and emotional well-being and the avoidance of medications, irradiation, and other teratogenics.

Selecting The Gender Of Your Future Child
While there are many debates over how ethical it is to choose the gender of your child before they are born, the fact remains that there are some natural methods you can use that will increase the likelihood of having a child of a specific gender. The ethics of it are up to you and while no method is 100% accurate, there are a few things that you can try that will help you increase your chances for having either a boy or a girl.
These methods are centered around the fact that the sperm who carry Y chromosomes (which are necessary for a boy) are very different from the sperm that carry the X chromosome (which are necessary for a girl). By understanding these differences, and choosing the right methods, you are creating an environment where one type of sperm can outshine the other and reach the main destination first. Let's take a look at what you can do.
The Right Diet
Y sperm require an enivornment that is alkalai in nature, while X sperm need more acid. The PH levels of your body determine how thick the cervical discharge is and whether or not the desired sperm will be able to get through successfully. In order to have a girl, you need to eat a diet that is rich in calcium and magnesium. In order to have a boy, a diet rich in potassium and sodium is required.
The Right Time
The timing of when you have intercourse can greatly affect the gender of your child. Because the Y sperm need to reach the egg as quickly as possible, it is necessary to time intercourse to the day that you ovulate to increase your chances of having a boy. They will be able to reach the egg while it and they are still viable.
But in order to have a girl, you need to give the Y sperm time to die off, leaving the more durable X sperm behind. This means that you will need to time intercourse to approximately two to three days before ovulation. This gives the X sperm more than enough time to reach the egg.
The Right Position
The position you choose for intercourse can also determine the sex of your child. Once again, we fall back to the differences between sperm. The Y sperm need to reach their destination in as little time as possible. This means that they need to be released as close to the cervix as possible, shortening the trip they must take to the egg. Positions that allow for deep penetration are ideal.
In order to have a girl, you need to make it more difficult for the Y sperm to reach their target on time. This means that positions where shallow penetration is achieved are necessary. The sperm will be deposited further away from the cervix, giving the X sperm the chance they need to reach the egg, and allowing the Y sperm to die off.

    21 Year Olds and the Chinese Conception Calendar!!?
    ...Hello there! Have been inspired by a fellow yahoo answerer to ask this question, maybe for a bit of validity, maybe just to see how accurate this method has proven for some of you ladies out there :]

    I was pregnant aged 21 with my little girl.. I have to admit, I was referred to checking the chinese gender calendar for a bit of fun before I knew what I was having, and it proved right in my case. I was REALLY surprised though that this calendar depicted that nearly ALL women aged 21 when they fell pregnant, would have a little girl unless they conceived in January. Ha!? How can this be possible I hear you say?!

    ...I would love to see how many of you were pregnant at 21 and proven right/ wrong by this calendar. Also, feel free to tell me your experiences with this "predictor", regardless of your age!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this calender is only just for fun, but I believe it to be very accurate. When I was 19 it said I'd have a boy and that is what happen. The second time I was 25 and it said that I was having a girl and that is what I got. Every time someone I know gets preggers, I refer to it and every single time with out fail it is correct. It may just be a fluke, I don't know. I'm sure that its not right for everybody though.

  4. QUESTION:
    What are some things that are unfair to western women?
    In inspired by this question

    http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnYaWI5wgsV2wQM6kT1cha4gBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20100725111815AASuhGu&show=7#profile-info-uehdpfwVaa

    to which I answered with this list of areas that men are oppressed in..

    Discriminated against in family law.
    Receive harsher sentencing
    Blamed for everything the ruling class does and did
    Lied about - wage gap, domestic violence, child abuse etc
    Discriminated against in victim support
    Discriminated against in education
    Male rape is seen as a joke
    Female abuse and murder of children is brushed under the carpet, male children are disproportionately affected
    Female domestic violence is brushed under the carpet
    Female paedophilia is brushed under the carpet
    Dominate all areas of hardship - suicide, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, "death jobs", lowest jobs
    Demonised in the media
    Demonised by fraudulent pseudo science (women's studies)
    No reproductive rights
    Work longer
    Work more hours
    Receive less health research funding
    Die sooner

    So, is the oppression of the modern western woman just a feminist construct?

    I know that they can point to disparities in politics but that can be easily addressed by more women taking an interest, in other words its not oppression is a situation that arises out of women exercising free will, same goes for all positions that require decades of uninterrupted 60-70 hour weeks, same goes for wage gap.

    Domestic violence cant be cites as the newer research show that women are more aggressive and that the strongest predictor of her being injured in domestic violence is her own violence.

    Rape cant be cited either because when prison rapes are included men are raped more than women, and nobody cares.

    So, do western feminists have any legitimate claims to gender oppression, if so what are they?
    Geraldine has posted some minor examples, most of which are untrue.

Free Pregnancy Gender Predictor

Predicting Baby Gender - Can You Really Pick Your Baby's Gender? Gender selection of youngsters is a controversial subject, particularly in terms of genetic therapy along with the ethics of selecting the sex of your child. Whilst there surely have been advances in the field of genetics, you'll find actually several organic and completely ethical issues that you simply can do that can boost the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child.

Although no method is 100% accurate, if you're determined to have a son or a daughter, there are some things that may be carried out to considerably enhance your probabilities of conceiving the gender of your selection. Don't forget, essentially the most important thing would be to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do desire to try to choose the gender of your baby, it really is feasible. Here's what you need to know.
Variations in Semen
The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, even though the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y semen are faster, smaller, more agile but they also do not last so long as the "girl" semen. The X sperm are bigger and move very slowly. Additionally to their overall speed, they have distinct preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does far better in an acidic environment whilst the Y semen want an alkaline environment.

How These Differences Impact Conceiving
Now that we have recognized the variations among the sperm that carry diverse chromosomes, it really is essential to recognize how these variances could be used for organic gender choice. When you've got this info, you can start trying to get pregnant a infant which will be a specific gender.

If you want to have a son, the timing is crucial. Because these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your sexual intercourse as closely to ovulation as probable. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg just before the X sperm do, growing the chances that you simply will have a boy.
If you would like to have a girl, you have to give the X semen lots of time to get to the egg. Because they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a couple of days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X semen behind. They are going to have the time needed to travel up via the cervix to arrive at the egg and fertilize it.

Free Baby Gender Test

Free Baby Gender Predictor: Find Out About The Many Ways To Predict Baby Gender As parents, it is totally natural to be curious about your baby's gender as well as baby gender predictors. Too much has been said about your pregnancy baby gender. Grandma says it is a girl because off your regular cravings for sweets. Your aunt says it is a boy because of the shape of your belly. Nowadays, baby prediction methods consists of a wide range of tests and tell-tales from old wive's tales to modern DNA tests. If you are curious about the sex of you baby, below is a lits of free baby gender predictor which may want to consider. Just keep in mind that each free baby gender predictor listed below does not guarantee 100% accuracy and that an ultrasound is still deemed necessary.

Mommy's tummy It is believed that if a woman's belly is high and round, the baby is most likely to be a girl. On the other hand, a protruding belly is believed to be an indication of a baby boy. This tell-tale becomes true oftentimes since the body of a woman as well as her pre-pregnancy health determines how she will carry the baby. Health conditions like uterine fibroids can also affect your baby's condition.
Mommy's face You are more likely to conceive a girl if your face grows round and if your nose grows wider and longer during pregnancy. Meanwhile, if your face starts to narrow, there is a bigger possibility that your baby is a boy. Despite the right assumptions for some, the weight gain in the face does not have any relation to pregnancy baby gender.
Acne Many people believe that having acne during pregnancy is an indication that your baby is going to be a girl. The sudden change in hormones can cause acne during your pregnancy.
Back pain -Some say that back pain can indicate a female sex. In reality, back pain can occur at any time of the pregnancy depending on your baby position, weight gain and the condition of your back.
Heart rate The baby's heart rate may also be a baby predictor. Take baby girl has a fast heart rate, approximately 170 beats per minute while a baby boy has heart beat only gets close to around 150 per minute. Medical practitioners consider this prediction method as unreliable since the baby's heart rate may fluctuate roughly throughout the day.
Wedding ring Some old couples bellieve that your wedding ring can help you detect your baby' gender. All you have to do is simply hang your wedding ring using a string. Hold it over your belly. If the ring swings in a circular motion, you are most likely to conceive a boy. On the other hand, if the ring swings back and forth, there is greater possibility that you are about to have a girl.
Key test The concept is very simple. Simply grab a key. If you grabbed the top, it is more likely to be a boy. If you grabbed the bottom, then there's bigger chances of conceiving a girl. If you pick the key in the middle, this means you are bound to have a twins.

As mentioned, each free baby gender predictor mentioned above does not guarantee you 100% accuracy. For best results, an ultrasound will is highly advised.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl baby gender prediction test by Gendermaker?
    I just ordered Gendermaker gender prediction test, and wanted to see if anyone else used it before? I usually dont believe this kind of tests, but I came across their site and see that they have money back guarantee if the test is wrong, so I figured I have nothing to lose, plus they have a cool promotion now, they give you free Amex card. Did this test work for anyone else?

    • ANSWER:
      I used Gendermaker and it was right for me. It turned pink right away,and my doctor confrimed recently that I am having a girl

  2. QUESTION:
    For the women who know the gender of their baby already...Baking soda test?
    I have a strange request.

    I have been doing a lot of reading online about the baking soda gender test, and on a bunch of different sites it's proving to be pretty accurate (I saw one board that had 85% accuracy with it). I'm not one to buy into the old wives tales, I see the major flaw in the chinese gender chart (That not every single 26 year old who conceived in a certain month has the same gender child) or intelligender or other scams for predicting, but this one is nearly free and weirdly pretty accurate in many forums.

    So my question is, if you know your babies gender already, would you do this test to see if it is accurate? It's very simple. You put about 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a container and pee on it. If you hear it fizz, then it's supposedly a boy. If you hear nothing, it's supposedly a girl. Foam does not mean fizz, it would have to actually bubble and you can hear it if you listen.

    If you did this already, please let me know! I'm really curious!

    Also no interested in anyone who wants to remind me there's a 50/50 chance, or that they're all a crock, or whatever. Just for fun!!

    • ANSWER:
      This test is not really that uncommon, When you are having a male child your hormones tend be raging vs. a female. There are lots of other ways to tell also. If you crave a lot of sweets you are having a girl & salty foods for boys. If you carry the baby really low its a boy, or extremely high it is a girl.

    Description
    The Intelligender Gender Prediction Test
    IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test (G.P.T.) is a simple in-home urine analysis similar to an in-home pregnancy test which identifies whether an expectant mom is having a boy or a girl.

    First morning urine is collected in the collection cup provided in the G.P.T. kit. A measured amount is added to the test cup and the result is read within minutes. A yellow to orange color represents girl and a "smoky green" color represents boy (see examples below).

    Laboratory tests have an accuracy rate of 90% (in-home results of 82%), depending on the stage of pregnancy.

    The test can be performed as early as eight weeks of gestation (10 weeks of pregnancy). A simple instruction sheet is provided with the test as well as a toll free number should you have any questions.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! We hope that you will be blessed with a happy, healthy baby and you have great fun along the journey to delivery!

    My sister in law is trying for a baby...she isn't pregnant yet but I thought when she does get pregnant I would surprize her with this. What do you think? A waste of money or the real thing!
    Princess Nicki-If you do it let me know lol i'm excited.

    • ANSWER:

      But i wouldnt mind getting one if i did or didnt know its just always something fun to do

  4. QUESTION:
    Who wants to help me with a little experiment?
    I saw a previous question on here about gender prediction. I was skeptical, so I found a website where they claim to be accurate in determining the gender for free. I went on the website, and tried it. I used my parent's birthday and mine, and it was right! I then tried my sisters, it said both of them were gonna be girls and obviously they were so I was amazed!

    At this point, all of the predictions to all the birthdays I put in said that they were gonna be girls. So I thought "Hm, maybe it just says girl for every one," so I put in my boyfriend's parent's birthdays and his, and what do you know! It said it was going to be a boy!

    Does anybody want to try and see if it was as accurate for you as it was for me? I know you can always just wait, but I'm a skeptic and it turned out to be accurate for the already living people that I know! Let me know if you get an inaccurate answer, because that'll prove it's BS. Thanks!

    What are some ideas for baby shower games?
    I have only ever been to one baby shower...when i was 11. lol

    i have no IDEA what games to play!

    so here are my questions:

    What games did you play at a/your baby shower THAT YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE ENJOYED?

    and

    What do yout think of these games i found online?

    College Fund: Buy a plastic piggy bank and tell your guests to bring spare change. Each guest takes a turn saying "I've never..." and says something that they have never done like "eat sushi", "been in a helicopter", etc. If someone out of the group actually HAS done that thing, they have to put a coin in the piggy bank. At the end of the game, the change goes toward the new baby's college fund!

    Guess Mama's BellyPass around a ball of string and have each guest cut a piece they think equals the circumference of the belly of the Mama-to-be. When each guest has cut their string, have them come up to the Mama and test it around her waist. Whoever comes closest, wins!

    Shower Present Bingo Each guest gets a bingo card (Grid of 5x5 squares) and fills in what presents they predict the Mama-to-be will get. The "free" space is the present you brought. As each gift is unopened, you put a chip (penny or piece of paper) on the square if you were right. Whoever gets all in a row first, wins!

    Baby Name Race Each guest is given a piece of paper and pen. In 60 seconds, the guests have to list as many names as possible that start with the same letters as the baby's parents' names. If you know the gender of the baby, do 60 seconds for boys' names and 60 seconds for girls' names. Read the names aloud, whichever guest has the most names, wins!

    do any of these sound like fun to you?

  6. QUESTION:
    anyone know of a web site where i can get a good psychic reading for free?
    i am 16 wks pregnant with my 3rd and final baby. i already have 1 daughter and 1 son,,and i have been taking all of these gender predictor tests online just to see how many say boy and how many say girl..and so today i was just thinking that it would be fun to have a psychic reading and see what would be said about the gender..i go for my 20 wk ultrasound sometime in the end of Dec. but am just curious to see how accurate each of the predictors are..anyone know of any sites that i could check out? or does anyone on here have a gift for knowing things before they happen? anyone care to guess what my last baby will be? i personally believe that it is a another girl,and so does my husband.but the rest of my family says its a boy...

    • ANSWER:
      I would go to a psychic in person...its much better. Online, you never know what or who you're getting.

  7. QUESTION:
    Would you pay for a 3d/4d Ultrasound at 15 weeks?
    My husband and are are so impatient and were thinking about paying the to get one of those 3d/4d ultrasounds in 2 weeks to find out the gender of the baby. That would put me at almost 16 weeks which they say you can "usually" determine the gender at 15 with these ultrasound machines. My regular OB doesn't tell us the gender till 20 weeks when they do all those other anatomy tests. If the 3d/4d place is unable to determine, we can go back for free retesting. Do you think I should hold out the extra month or give in and pay a little money to know early (but possibly not get an answer)?

    • ANSWER:
      I would wait. I have an appointment in a month and will be 19 weeks. I am still well aware of the fact that it is very possible they will not be able to sex the baby at that time. I know, the waiting is hard!!! I want to start shopping and telling people, but I just have to wait.

      The likelihood of error in sexing the baby will be greater the earlier you have an ultrasound. With my first child I had one at around 24 weeks. It was beyond obvious what we were looking at. :)

  8. QUESTION:
    Should a 15 year old have to pay child support to his Rapist?
    The Columbus Dispatch has a story about a 15 year old Boy. Who was raped by a 19 year old Female an Adult. She has had a baby, he must pay Child Support. Is this fair?

    Boy's parents sue to get his baby from mom, 21
    Saturday, August 16, 2008 3:12 AM
    By Mary Beth Lane
    THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
    LANCASTER, Ohio --- A Pickerington couple and their son are fighting for custody of a baby born to a Lancaster woman charged with having unlawful sex with the boy, who was 15 at the time of conception.

    A paternity test shows that the teen is the father of the baby born April 7 to Jane C. Crane, who was 19 when she became pregnant. Now, a judge has ordered him to pay a month in child support and set visitation at seven hours a week.

    Crane, meanwhile, faces criminal charges. A Fairfield County grand jury indicted her last month on two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a fourth-degree felony. Conviction carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison and a requirement to register as a sex offender for 25 years.

    Crane is living with the baby and her family in Lancaster.

    The boy's parents say they can provide a better upbringing for the baby than Crane can. Her household includes her stepfather, David L. Jacobs, who was convicted of domestic violence last year for hitting, choking and pointing a gun at Crane's 17-year-old sister and was placed on two years' probation, court records show.

    "We don't want to have our granddaughter abused by these people," the boy's father said. "We are trying to do the right thing.

    "The child support was the icing on the cake. I couldn't believe that our son has to pay child support to his abuser."

    The Dispatch does not identify victims of sexual abuse.

    Crane is scheduled for a pretrial conference before Common Pleas Judge Richard E. Berens on Aug. 21. A hearing and a status conference in the custody dispute are scheduled for next month before Domestic Relations Judge Kathy S. Mowry.

    Crane, now 21, is not a suitable custodial parent in part because she may have committed a felony by having sexual intercourse with a minor younger than 16, the boy's parents argue in court papers seeking custody.

    Crane declined to comment. She is free on a ,000 recognizance bond pending trial. Her attorney, Sandra Davis, did not return calls. Lawyer Jennifer Strunk, the court-appointed guardian ad litem representing the baby's interests, said through a spokesman that she could not comment.

    That a 19-year-old woman had sex with a 15-year-old boy might seem like no big deal to some, but it is a serious charge, said Assistant Prosecutor Julia Dillon.

    It makes no difference that it is an adult female charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor boy rather than the more common instance of an adult male charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor girl.

    "It is an age and maturity issue, not a gender issue," Dillon said. "He's a young boy coming into his own, being taken advantage of by an adult."

    There could yet be a plea agreement. "I have made what I consider to be a reasonable offer, but I have not received a response," she said.

    The incident has had lasting affects on the boy, now 16, his mother said.

    "He has nightmares, he is stressed out," she said. "He is a father, even though it was a crime for him to be a father. His life is changed forever."

    Crane got to know the family while she worked at a local movie theater with the boy's older sister. When Crane said that her stepfather was abusive, his family allowed her to move in with them.

    The boy's sister later bought her own home and Crane moved in with her. It was there last summer that Crane had sex with their son at least twice, his parents said.

    mlane@dispatch.com

    • ANSWER:
      yes it is wrong but according to state law (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2907.02) there is no mention of this happen or how to deal with it. I'm guessing since this is two different cases (rape and custody) the judge just focused on custody. The girl is going away for a couple month so the father will get the child. Whatever happens I hope that child is alright.

  10. QUESTION:
    WHAT ARE THE CHANCES I CAN GET CUSTODY OF MY DAUGHTERS OVER MY GIRLFRIEND?
    Alright here's the pickle i'm currently in.

    I'm with my girlfriend right now but want to leave her and keep custody of my 6 month old daughters. While im under the impression that family courts all over the country have adopted a "gender neutral" policy, im sure it would be an uphill battle to get full custody. Not really sure what to do. Here's a little background info:

    I'm 27 and she's 23. We aren't married. She was actually cheating on her x-husband( whom she has two OTHER kids with and is technically still married to) with a few people (one of my friends included) and i happened to be the one that got her pregnant. When she told me she was pregnant i told her i would give her the benefit of the doubt since the days matched up and all that. I was there for her during her pregnancy even though she had moved 5 hours away (her x-husband kicked her out after he found out she was pregnant by someone else) We planned on moving in together after the babies were born but i had to be 100% sure they were mine before i did this and took a paternity test. The paterinity test said i was the father so that set aside any worries i had about that and we started planning a move for her to come back to my city. It would end up being me and her, our daughters and her two boys from her x-husband.

    It's been 3 months since the move and i completley miserable. My girlfriend is overbearing, controlling, violent and has these awful moodswings and i just can't take it anymore. I find myself believing that the only reason i am with her is because of our babies and out of fear that should i want to break free from her, i would get so f**ked over initially by her, because she would move out of the state (ny) some 5 hours away from me and that would really limit how often i could see my babies and then by the courts who would try to squeeze every penny out of me to support her.

    Also, she is a stay at home mom and has no income outside of what she gets for child support from her X.

    I work full time and make about 60k per year.

    If i were to leave and fight for custody, would i stand i good chance of winning? Would the fact that have a full time job negatively impact my chances?

    I don't know what to do. I think i may start seeing a psychologist for this as its adversely affecting me every single day.

    Thanks in advance.
    Tess:

    The married woman got involved with me, not the other way around. The day we first met she was out celebrating her "divorce" which hasn't materialized after a year.

    Crone:

    I portray myself as the victim because i feel that i am. I moved in her under the following circumstances:

    a) She has a promiscuous sexual history- (she slept with my friend and i within hours of each other the first day i met her)

    b) She has two kids that aren't mine that also now live with me. While i like them and all, i dont want to repalce their real dad.

    b) Her way of dealing with things is with anger or lunacy. She either physically attacks me (i had to call the Police on her once) or threatens to do harm to either herself or some of my belongings (tv, laptop, etc).

    From my vantage point, she is just going to jump from one guy to another because nobody will be able to stand her and the kids would be in a much more stable environment if they were with me. I mean, if i break up with her, aside

  11. QUESTION:
    I just found this and wish I'd have known it a few years ago?
    Sex Only Reason for Cohabiting

    By Cheryl Wetzstein

    "I didn't know how to be in a relationship and not have sex. That was how I kept men interested, how I kept them with me. It's why they liked me. Or at least that's what I thought."

    This comment, from an unidentified 25-year-old woman, is both familiar and pathetic. She wants love, so she offers sex. He, not surprisingly, takes it but runs.

    "While it's possible that a couple having sex before marriage will one day make a lifelong commitment, it is statistically more likely they won't," say Dr. Joe S. McIlhaney Jr. and Dr. Freda McKissic Bush.

    "In fact, the likeliest outcome of premarital sex is simply more premarital sex," they write in their book, "Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children," which included the quote from the 25-year-old woman.

    Cohabiting is growing in America, and young women should not kid themselves. It's all about the sex.

    If a woman doubts this, she should suggest to Mr. Might-Be-Right that she is willing to move in with him if there are separate bedrooms and no sexual activity until marriage. She should not be surprised if he says that if there's no sex, there's no reason to move in with her.

    In focus groups on cohabiting, women defend it as a way to study a potential mate and experience the relationship 24 hours a day. Cohabiting reveals personal habits — does he (ever) hang up his clothes? — moods, noises and smells, women say.

    But whether guys say so or not, cohabiting to them is primarily a bedroom test. If a woman gets a passing grade there, she moves on to the nuisance test. If she's too moody, demanding, ditsy, picky, boring, weird or obnoxious, bags will be packed. After all, this is just a test drive. Good times, but see ya.

    Some may think I am a little too glib here, so let me quote Francis Fukuyama, who wrote "The Great Disruption, Human Nature and the Reconstitution of Social Order," a 1999 book about the social upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s.

    "One of the greatest frauds perpetuated during the Great Disruption was the notion that the sexual revolution was gender-neutral, benefiting women and men equally," he wrote. "In fact, the sexual revolution served the interests of men."

    Birth control and abortion may have freed women from worrying about pregnancy, Mr. Fukuyama explained, but it also meant "men felt liberated" from social norms requiring them to take care of any woman they managed to impregnate. Men became less attached to women and children.

    Virtually all men have benefited from this new sexual paradigm, Mr. Fukuyama added. Throughout history, only powerful, wealthy, high-status men enjoyed sexual access to many women — in fact, that was a major reason men wanted to be powerful, wealthy and high-status, he wrote. Now millions of women are giving ordinary men (i.e., men without power, wealth or high status) sexual access.

    I find it inexplicable that women think cohabiting is in their best interests. How many times do we hear about a woman who has gone through life collecting boyfriends, house keys and bedroom experiences, only to end up at a sperm bank in her 30s because she (still) doesn't have a husband but can't live another day without a baby? And yet that is the fate for many female cohabiters. Single women, not married women, are using sperm banks in ever greater numbers, according to a recent article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender.

    Divorce brings heartache to both men and women, and cohabiting has been portrayed as a way to avoid divorce. But here's another way to look at it: Divorce is like having your childhood home burn down because of an electrical fire in the furnace. Cohabiting is like coping with that tragedy by living without a furnace and using space heaters instead.

    Marriage education can rescue us. In fact, as relationship-skills programs spread through U.S. schools, houses of worship and communities, men and women will see they can create satisfying, lasting, healthy love relationships.

    When that happens, they can both get off the merry-go-round of cohabiting and kick the "divorce revolution" to the curb.

    • ANSWER:
      Most Interesting. Thank you

  12. QUESTION:
    What do you consider my political views?
    I tend to think I am mostly Libertarian. But not sure.

    - I think gay marriage should be LEAGL, although I feel gays have a right to be happy as well(Gay marriage can also boost a states economy), I am also not for a "gay-centric" society, I think we should accept them as regular people and lovers just like us, although not get "politically correct" about it.

    - I 100% support the legalization of marijuana, another economy booster(every small boost helps).

    - I think the drinking age should be lowered to 18, if you are old enough to fight a war, you are old enough to drink, IF you want.

    - I support the repeal of gun bans in ALL 50 states, the constitution says everybody has the RIGHT to bear arms. I also feel the crime rate will drop(criminals will ALWAYS have guns, only NON-criminals can legally get a gun).

    - I support the death penalty in ALL 50 states. If you take a life, you do not deserve to live among the rest. Also saves tax payers a bunch of money that we pay for dirtbags each year

    - I think we should only fight wars that we drastically need(World War 1/World War 2) and I AM in favor of a military draft if man-power was needed in a World War 3 like event. Although I do agree with the War in Afghanistan, being a New Yorker, I knew way too many people who died young in those towers. Terror is something very real and something we need to put a cap on to prevent it from coming to us and another 9/11 EVER happening again.

    - I feel there should be free-trade with EVERY country, there should be no "protection" on it. It should be open 100%. I also feel "travel bans" should be taken out of effect, especially the "limited" one with Cuba.

    - I feel we should be able to cut in every organization, including the DOD, we spend about 100x as much as the 2nd country(China), a few billion will not hurt.

    - I am for drug testing in the welfare and social security systems. If you test positive you should not be accepted for the government program for AT LEAST another 5-10 years and then if you REALLY REALLY need it, another drug test and if you pass it, random drug tests should applied.

    - I am TOTALLY against the banning of any type of religion(Such as banning Christmas trees, slogans, etc). We need to respect everyones race, religion, gender, sexuality and creed. This is America.

    - I think we should make gym at least twice a week, a requirement for every student from Pre K - High School. We should also induct them in mandatory health classes and focus on how to keep the body healthy. Vending machines should also be banned in schools. This will help America's obesity issue.

    - I am 100% against illegal immigration and so-called "anchor babies", if the parents are deported the kids should be too. We have enough issues in this country then to worry about people who did not come here legally. I AM for building a "super-fence" on the Mexican-American border and I feel large amounts of National Guard troops from each border state should be guarding it along with the Border Patrol agents. I am also for "limited" legal immigration until the economy gets back into full swing, we already are jammed as a country, it is not helping to keep accepting more and more people, illegal or legal.

    - I am 100% against Government run health-care, anything the government runs turns into a huge mess, it may work in other countries but it will not with our country. I am for "privatizing" health care, allowing consumers to purchase AND choose the company that fits them best.

    - I also should be given courses in Religion in schools. Learning about religion is always good and expands the mind, not like a "Catholic" or Jewish school, but just a non-biased teacher teaching about the many different religions and beliefs in the world. It will allow children to choose what THEY want as they get older, not just what "science" or their parents tell them.

    - The pledge should be mandatory in ALL schools(private or public) and said every morning.

    - Affirmative Action should be illegal and never used again. I believe it PROMOTES racism, as the employed is looking at the persons skin color rather then the qualities about them. It's 2012 now, its about time we all moved on.

    - I feel the same way about college scholarships, this needs to be MADE illegal as well. Scholarships should be given to people based on financial issues(regardless of race/religion) and how well they did in High School. One must EARN it.

    • ANSWER:
      You're almost a libertarian.

  13. QUESTION:
    microeconomics... I don't understand the answers to these questions in the book...?
    1. How is it that unplanned, “market” economics operate at all? What aspect of human behavior puts bread and meat on the shelves of groceries?

    2. It is apparent that most of the time, goods are not wasted, or thrown away because no one wants to buy them. How is that approximately the “correct” amount of goods get produced in each market, and what mechanisms are there for correcting erroneous decisions about production levels?

    3. Why is economics considered a science? What types of statements are to be avoided if the subject is to be scientific?

    4. Is “scientific” the same thing as true?”

    5. What is it that makes some proposition scientifically interesting and useful?

    6. Can theories be “proven?” Explain what it means to have “confirmed” a theory, or theoretical explanation of some event.

    7. Can propositions be “good in theory but lousy in practice?”

    8. Make up some explanations of events, which seem to happen together, but for which neither event causes the other.

    9. Make sure you understand the concept of positive and negative slopes. Explain the meaning of supply and demand curves and the meaning of the slopes of theses curves.

    10. People in the Pacific Northwest consume more water per person than people in the southwest. Does this mean that north westerners like water more, or are in general thirstier than south westerners?

    11. Distinguish “scarce” and “limited.”

    12. “If only people learned to love other people more and to respect differences of opinions, we wouldn’t have to live in such a competitive, unpleasant world.” Do you agree? What is the fundamental reason what competition for goods exists?

    13. “As a matter of public policy, the government should promote a more equitable distribution of income.” How would you define “equitable distribution of income? Is it capable of scientific determination?

    14. What is the cost to you of going to college? Is it just the tuition, or is there something else involved?

    15. In some countries, a test that can determine the sex of a fetus (amniocentesis) is being used to abort female fetuses. As a result, 60% or more of the babies born in some of these areas are male. What do you suppose will be the long-term effects of this on a traditional gender and marriage roles?

    16. A survey once showed that 70% of married men are bald. Does this mean that marriage leads to baldness? What general principle does this illustrate about the problem of inferring causality from correlation?

    17. Can a good be scarce for some people and not for others? If you think so give some examples.

    19. What does free enterprise mean?

    20. Some define economics as the study of the proposition, “there’s no such think as a free lunch.” Do you think this is a good definition?

      it is unfair to the answerer to ask 20 detailed questions in one question

  14. QUESTION:
    What are some ideas for baby shower games?
    I have only ever been to one baby shower...when i was 11. lol

    i have no IDEA what games to play!

    so here are my questions:

    What games did you play at a/your baby shower THAT YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE ENJOYED?

    and

    What do yout think of these games i found online?

    College Fund: Buy a plastic piggy bank and tell your guests to bring spare change. Each guest takes a turn saying "I've never..." and says something that they have never done like "eat sushi", "been in a helicopter", etc. If someone out of the group actually HAS done that thing, they have to put a coin in the piggy bank. At the end of the game, the change goes toward the new baby's college fund!

    Guess Mama's BellyPass around a ball of string and have each guest cut a piece they think equals the circumference of the belly of the Mama-to-be. When each guest has cut their string, have them come up to the Mama and test it around her waist. Whoever comes closest, wins!

    Shower Present Bingo Each guest gets a bingo card (Grid of 5x5 squares) and fills in what presents they predict the Mama-to-be will get. The "free" space is the present you brought. As each gift is unopened, you put a chip (penny or piece of paper) on the square if you were right. Whoever gets all in a row first, wins!

    Baby Name Race Each guest is given a piece of paper and pen. In 60 seconds, the guests have to list as many names as possible that start with the same letters as the baby's parents' names. If you know the gender of the baby, do 60 seconds for boys' names and 60 seconds for girls' names. Read the names aloud, whichever guest has the most names, wins!

    do any of these sound like fun to you?

    • ANSWER:
      I don't think the first one would be as big of a hit only because they are only bringing a gift and if anyone forgot change they would feel awkward and left out. The best bet would be to play the other 3 since you would already have the materials with you. Also you could play that last game with a twist. Like if you have a baby name already then take all the letters from first last and middle name and see who can come up with the most words.You could also have a notebook and any funny stories that the guests remember about you (that are appropriate) can be written down in the book and given to baby when it's older as sort of an idea of the funny things mom and dad had happen. It's not a game, but you could go around and reminisce and just get to having a good time.

Free Gender Prediction

Predicting Baby Gender - Can You Really Pick Your Baby's Gender? Gender selection of youngsters is a controversial subject, particularly in terms of genetic therapy along with the ethics of selecting the sex of your child. Whilst there surely have been advances in the field of genetics, you'll find actually several organic and completely ethical issues that you simply can do that can boost the likelihood of selecting a gender for your child.

Although no method is 100% accurate, if you're determined to have a son or a daughter, there are some things that may be carried out to considerably enhance your probabilities of conceiving the gender of your selection. Don't forget, essentially the most important thing would be to have a healthy baby, regardless of their gender. But if you do desire to try to choose the gender of your baby, it really is feasible. Here's what you need to know.
Variations in Semen
The sperm that carry the Y chromosome are the "boy" sperms, even though the ones that carry the X chromosome are the "girl" sperms. The Y semen are faster, smaller, more agile but they also do not last so long as the "girl" semen. The X sperm are bigger and move very slowly. Additionally to their overall speed, they have distinct preferences in terms of the acidity of the vagina and cervix. An X sperm does far better in an acidic environment whilst the Y semen want an alkaline environment.

How These Differences Impact Conceiving
Now that we have recognized the variations among the sperm that carry diverse chromosomes, it really is essential to recognize how these variances could be used for organic gender choice. When you've got this info, you can start trying to get pregnant a infant which will be a specific gender.

If you want to have a son, the timing is crucial. Because these sperm do not live long, it is vital to time your sexual intercourse as closely to ovulation as probable. This gives the Y sperm time to reach the egg just before the X sperm do, growing the chances that you simply will have a boy.
If you would like to have a girl, you have to give the X semen lots of time to get to the egg. Because they live longer, this means that you want to time intercourse a couple of days before expected ovulation. By the time you ovulate, the Y sperm will have already died off, leaving only the X semen behind. They are going to have the time needed to travel up via the cervix to arrive at the egg and fertilize it.

  3. QUESTION:
    Boy or girl baby gender prediction test by Gendermaker?
    I just ordered Gendermaker gender prediction test, and wanted to see if anyone else used it before? I usually dont believe this kind of tests, but I came across their site and see that they have money back guarantee if the test is wrong, so I figured I have nothing to lose, plus they have a cool promotion now, they give you free Amex card. Did this test work for anyone else?

    • ANSWER:
      I used Gendermaker and it was right for me. It turned pink right away,and my doctor confrimed recently that I am having a girl

  4. QUESTION:
    What's the earliest you or someone you know found out the gender?
    I am 12 and a half weeks and my doctor won't do my gender prediction ultrasound until 20 weeks, but I'd love to find out earlier. I found a place that will do an ultrasound starting at 16 weeks that guarantees to find out the gender or you come back for your next session free (until they find out!). Experiences? Thanks!
    I just had an ultrasound at 12 weeks but the tech said it was too early to tell.

    • ANSWER:
      One of my contacts found out at 14 weeks. It's easier to tell earlier if it's a boy, but a lot of times the genitals aren't formed very well until 18-20 weeks, which is why they wait to do the gender ultrasounds then because it's a better chance they're right.

  5. QUESTION:
    Poll: did you have ultrasound gender prediction?
    Did you have ultrasound to predict the gender?
    at what week?
    was it correct?

    Description
    The Intelligender Gender Prediction Test
    IntelliGender's Gender Prediction Test (G.P.T.) is a simple in-home urine analysis similar to an in-home pregnancy test which identifies whether an expectant mom is having a boy or a girl.

    First morning urine is collected in the collection cup provided in the G.P.T. kit. A measured amount is added to the test cup and the result is read within minutes. A yellow to orange color represents girl and a "smoky green" color represents boy (see examples below).

    Laboratory tests have an accuracy rate of 90% (in-home results of 82%), depending on the stage of pregnancy.

    The test can be performed as early as eight weeks of gestation (10 weeks of pregnancy). A simple instruction sheet is provided with the test as well as a toll free number should you have any questions.

    Congratulations on your pregnancy! We hope that you will be blessed with a happy, healthy baby and you have great fun along the journey to delivery!

    My sister in law is trying for a baby...she isn't pregnant yet but I thought when she does get pregnant I would surprize her with this. What do you think? A waste of money or the real thing!
    Princess Nicki-If you do it let me know lol i'm excited.

    • ANSWER:
      haha i actually heard about this the other day.... i think it just sounds like fun whether she wants to kno the sex of the baby or not (because it could always be wrong) and if you really do want to know she could always get the second opinion from her dr when shes far along enough. im 34 weeks and know the sex of my baby but i think im gonna go out and get one...it seems like fun =)

      But i wouldnt mind getting one if i did or didnt know its just always something fun to do

  7. QUESTION:
    Has every gender prediction been wrong for you?!?
    Okay lol just an update-I had my ultrasound on friday-I was very relieved that this pregnancy thus far is free of birth defects which was my greatest concern-so I didn't really care about sex. Also, we are expecting a boy this time!! Of course, daddy-o is very happy. Every single prediction came out wrong, intelligender said girl, old wives tales all pointed to girl, my friends all said girl, every single thing pointed to having a girl LOL, and well, there was no denying that pecker on screen! I've had one of each, even my symptoms were telling me I was having another girl, but NOPE, it's a boy! I'm just shocked because I thought I would know better than anyone else and I was wrong. Has anyone else been surprised because they were almost positive of the gender?

  8. QUESTION:
    Gender prediction - nub theory?
    Has anyone used this before and were they correct?
    I had my scan today Im 11 weeks and 5 days, it was great! I kept laughing at it because it kept using its legs to bouce up and down inside, it kept stretching out its arms, it was a great experience.
    here is my scan pic, if you want to take a guess at what is, feel free!

    http://s803.photobucket.com/albums/yy316/xxmrstxx/?action=view&current=12week2.jpg
    yeah sorry the date was changed today, im now due the 20th January 2010
    http://s803.photobucket.com/albums/yy316/xxmrstxx/?action=view&current=nub.jpg Here is one where i THINK i have highlighted the nub - its probably an arm or something lol

    • ANSWER:
      wow, you have now made me uncontrollably excited about my scan next week!!!! I have had loads of problems at work the last 2 weeks and been made redundant today but then offered a job with the same people and place just a different company name so my mind hasn't really been on my scan but seeing your pic now and how much of a baby it looks like i am so excited!!!
      Not really answering your question i know but wanted to tell you. Cant answer your question because i have no idea what the nub theory is lol!
      Good Luck and not long till you can find out if you want to.

  9. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender...?? Pregnant, and mothers please.?
    Hi, I'm just wanting to ask a few expectant mothers if they subconsciously know the sex of their baby before ( if ) they find out? I currently have 2 daughters and knew they were girls, but am now 7 weeks pregnant with our 3rd baby AND HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE....I'm swaying more to the idea of a boy, but maybe that is my wishful thinking :) I'd love another girl too.
    So My question is, were you right in the prediction of your baby's gender? or wrong, feel free to add your experiences :)

    • ANSWER:
      I knew from the very beginning I was having a boy and my anatomy scan at 19 weeks confirmed it!

      My mother was wrong with both me and my sister, though, so mother's intuition isn't always right.

  10. QUESTION:
    Who wants to help me with a little experiment?
    I saw a previous question on here about gender prediction. I was skeptical, so I found a website where they claim to be accurate in determining the gender for free. I went on the website, and tried it. I used my parent's birthday and mine, and it was right! I then tried my sisters, it said both of them were gonna be girls and obviously they were so I was amazed!

    At this point, all of the predictions to all the birthdays I put in said that they were gonna be girls. So I thought "Hm, maybe it just says girl for every one," so I put in my boyfriend's parent's birthdays and his, and what do you know! It said it was going to be a boy!

    Does anybody want to try and see if it was as accurate for you as it was for me? I know you can always just wait, but I'm a skeptic and it turned out to be accurate for the already living people that I know! Let me know if you get an inaccurate answer, because that'll prove it's BS. Thanks!

      Out of my two children. One was right one was wrong. 50/50

Foods That Help You Get Pregnant

Uncovering Foods That Help You Get Pregnant
Down via the ages, guidance and suggestions have been given to ladies on what foods will support them get pregnant. This has caused several hopeful mothers-to-be rushing off to eat whatever has been advised. In fact, women fall pregnant everyday without a thought to what they are eating. But several do swear by some foods they call fertility boosters.

Apparently, oysters aren't only referred to as an aphrodisiac, but also as a fertility booster. They are chock full of zinc, an vital nutrient in conception. When the body lacks zinc, the menstrual cycle is disrupted and also the egg production slows down. For those that are not into slurping on oysters, they can decide on chicken, beef, eggs, dairy, or nuts to get their zinc.

For years, the world has heard how vitamin C is good for the body. Well, studies have shown that it really is crucial in conception too. It really is specifically critical for ladies already on fertility medication and in helping women who already have ovulation problems. However, women aren't the only ones that benefit, when a man lacks vitamin C their sperm may possibly clump, decreasing the opportunity of conceiving. Smokers particularly benefit from this vitamin, as the antioxidants are vital if they desire to conceive.

1 factor numerous look forward to at Thanksgiving will be the yams. Now, those trying to conceive have an additional reason to get pleasure from those Thanksgiving yams. Researchers believe that there may possibly be ovulation-stimulating substances in yams. They supply as proof the reality that several ladies who consume wild yams appear to have a much higher rate of twins than those who do not. Even though store bought ones aren't wild, they still have lot of fertility-friendly vitamins and just could be the key to conceiving.

Lean meats like beef, chicken, and turkey are all excellent providers of a extremely important fertility-boosting nutrient: iron. It has been discovered that women with an iron deficiency have a harder time falling pregnant than those that don't. The trick here just isn't to overeat protein, as that could decrease fertility. Try for three servings a week and replace 1 animal protein with beans or tofu at times.

Packed full of antioxidants to protect the body from cell damage and cell aging, berries are vital in conception. Protecting cells within the body consists of the eggs. Blueberries and raspberries top the list as the very best in berries. However, blackberries and strawberries are fertility-friendly also. These are ideal to snack on, in desserts, and as toppings within the morning.

While stuffing your body full of very good for you fertility foods, you have to learn which ones to steer clear of. Trans fat is the biggest culprit. Too significantly trans fat inside your diet increases the chances of ovulatory infertility, which decreases your chances of conceiving. Caffeine is another culprit, in all forms. It has been linked to low fertility and whilst it consists of coffee and strong tea, chocolate is also in that equation.

It really is critical to eat healthy whether or not you are trying to get pregnant or not, so it just makes sense to eat fertility-boosting foods if you are. Not only are you giving your body the healthy nutrients and vitamins it needs, you might be growing you chances of conception at the exact same time. And, because you will need a well balanced diet when you fall pregnant, it just makes sense to commence prepregnancy with fertility-friendly foods.

Folic Acid Pregnancy

The Folic Acid Pregnancy Requirement Folic Acid is available as a supplement as well as in fresh vegetables. About 4mg is the recommended daily dosage for pregnant women as soon as she has had the pregnancy confirmed by a doctor.

Folic acid is very important for all women who may become pregnant. Adequate folate intake during the periconceptional period, the time just before and just after a woman becomes pregnant, helps protect against a number of congenital malformations including neural tube defects. Neural tube defects result in malformations of the spine (spina bifida), skull, and brain (anencephaly). The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet prior to and during the first month following conception. Women who could become pregnant are advised to eat foods fortified with folic acid or take supplements in addition to eating folate-rich foods to reduce the risk of some serious birth defects. Taking 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily from fortified foods and/or supplements has been suggested. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folate equivalents for pregnant women is 600 micrograms.

1. Why Is Folic Acid Important?

The importance is quite real because folic acid has been directly linked to reducing the risk of a baby being born with a brain or spine defect. It is because of the way that cells grow and divide, however, that this treatment is only necessary during the first few weeks of development for the baby.

2. Avoid Health Problems

As was mentioned earlier, it is possible to eat vegtables to obtain your recommended dosage of folic acid, but determining exactly how much you intake by consuming vegtables is neither easy nor at all fun to try and calculate. It is therefore highly recommended that you put your trust in vitamin supplements (pills). For many products, especially multivitamins, folic acid may already be a part of them and you will not need to check the dosage whatsoever.

3. Foods Rich In Folic Acid Include -

- Spring cabbage
- Asparagus
- Broccoli
- Wheat germ
- Lentils
- Fruit juice
- Orange
- Liver
- Bread products
- Peanuts
- Sunflower seeds

Food To Eat To Get Pregnant

Foods to Eat When Trying to Conceive a Girl Naturally
More parents than you probably realize would, when given a choice, like to choose the sex of their child. This is more likely to be the case if they already have a child, and they would like to balance their family and even more so if they have two or more children of the same gender. If you are wanting to have a daughter and wondering which foods to eat when trying to conceive a girl, your diet certainly can help when it comes to determining the gender of your child.

When hoping to have a daughter, you should generally try to eat no more than your recommended daily calorific intake. It is believed that women who eat in excess of their daily requirements are more likely to conceive a son.

Many of the foods to eat when trying to conceive a girl are very nutritious and it is generally straightforward to include these in any diet. When trying to become pregnant, most women naturally up their intake of calcium rich foods to protect their own bones. However, when hoping to have a daughter, feel free to increase the amount of low fat milk you drink and add a pot of yogurt to your daily diet. Other calcium-rich foods include tinned fish, with the bones left in (such as salmon) and broccoli and kale.
When you are trying to become pregnant, general advice is to reduce the amount of caffeine you consume as this can inhibit conception. If you are hoping to have a daughter, this advice is even more relevant. Under normal circumstances, it is believed that a cup or so of coffee a day is fine, but you should avoid it wherever possible to conceive a girl. Also, tea and cola drinkers should be mindful of the amount of caffeine contained in their daily beverages!

Other foods to eat when trying to conceive a girl include nuts, soya beans and most leafy green vegetables. You should take care to avoid foods which contain salt and do not add this when cooking.

Although there is no doubt that choosing your diet carefully can influence the sex of the baby you conceive, if you are serious about a positive outcome, you should use a method which is far more reaching and uses a combination of techniques, all of which are equally important. For example, you need to consider the timing of intercourse, the positions for intercourse and the acidity of your vagina.

If you would like to see tried-and-tested methods which will help you to have your daughter, there is an excellent guide which is based on scientific rather than anecdotal principles. It includes extensive dietary information, including a comprehensive list of which foods to eat when trying to conceive a girl and the exact gender clinic douche recipe which will alter the pH level of your vagina to make the conception of a girl more likely. In addition, you can also subscribe to a completely free newsletter which gives hints and tips on natural gender selection.

Foods to Help You Get Pregnant Fast
If you are hoping to have a baby in the next year or so, you may be considering what could help you achieve this quickly and whether there are any foods to help you get pregnant fast.

Our diet plays a huge part in determining our overall health and as far as pregnancy is concerned, what we eat can make a big difference. The consumption of a poor diet is a contributory factor in a lower rate of conception, whereas eating a healthy balanced diet can improve your chances significantly.

Fruits and vegetables are great to eat for overall good health and this is particularly relevant when you are hoping to conceive. It is always best to eat organic produce and if not, ensure they are well-washed or peeled to remove traces of pesticides. Our bodies ideally require a high level of vitamins and minerals to help both with conception and with the developing pregnancy.

Iron rich foods are required too and this group includes lean red meats and chicken, green leafy vegetables such as cabbages, broccoli and kale. If you feel you are short of iron, this is a good time to seek your doctors advice, who may advise you to take a supplement. Protein should be eaten in the form of soya, nuts, seeds and cereals along with lean meats, eggs and dairy products which are all good foods to help you get pregnant fast.

Folic acid is considered essential for women trying to become pregnant and very often breakfast cereals and bread are fortified with this nutrient. Orange juice is also a good source as are dark green leafy vegetables.

    • ANSWER:
      When I was pregnant I would crave hot cheetos dipped in vanilla pudding or chocolate cake with ranch dressing. It was weird but it was good to me at the time. I'd never eat that now. That's a craving

  5. QUESTION:
    Have you craved something other than food while pregnant? I'm worried and should be!?
    I am 31 weeks, 32 years old, married and pregnant with baby girl #1. My pregnancy has been ok...rough for months 3 and 4. I have not craved any weird foods like ice cream and pickles, etc during my entire pregnancy, and have continued to eat as I normally would. I went through a spurt where I craved orange juice for like 3 months, but that has passed (probably because I gave myself acid reflux from drinking so much of it, lol).

    Now serious matters...I am craving Comet and Ajax cleanser! Please no harsh words because I know that this is a problem and plan on discussing with my doctor on my next visit. The craving has NOT been there my entire pregnancy, and it just started about 3 weeks ago. I love the smell of it, and am so tempted to taste it. I clean with it daily in large amounts just to smell it. Guys, I am serious, my mouth actually waters for it! I have not tasted it, but continue to sniff it (not inhale). I have never done any drugs in my entire life! What is wrong with me? I confided in my husband, and I think he sort of thinks it's a joke until he walked in on me in the bathroom the other day with Comet cleanser all over my hands.

    I know this is not normal...looking back, a memory just came to me. I remember as a little girl probably around 8 years old, I used to love to help my mom clean out the sink and bathtub so I could use large amounts of Comet/Ajax Cleanser to create a cloud of smoke and just inhale it. As a kid, I used to taste it too! I do not do this to get high at all, I just love the smell and powdery feel of it.

    Not sure if I am looking for advice or similar stories of craving something other than food while pregnant and how you overcame it! I will definitely tell my doctor on my next visit and I promoise I will not eat it, but am having a hard time not sniffing it.

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      That is a way your body has of telling you that there is a deficiency of some type of vitamin in your body. You should call your doctor ASAP!

  6. QUESTION:
    Can you still get food stamps while pregnant?
    I have tried to get them before but at the time I was not pregnant or didn't have any kids so it was no big deal. But now that I am pregnant I wonder will they give them to me. Times are getting tough out here & sometimes you just need a little help.

  7. QUESTION:
    17 & pregnant with lots of questions!?
    Hi everyone! I have a ton of questions, for mothers & Mommy's to be!

    I got pregnant & i was on birth control & used a condom, first time having sex....

    First, i want to ask this, Jan 15 was the last of a period i had, it was brownish and it lasted for about 3 days. Then in feb i missed my period completely, Instead i had white discharge. I know it isn't a yeast infection or anything like that. A few days ago, i got more pinkish brown discharge,NO RED, and it goes away and isn't heavy at all. Im 6 weeks pregnant, is it possible i could be further along than i think?

    Now for more questions.! (: & btw, i appreciate this so much!

    1. What are some good healthy foods for pregnant women? I was a vegetarian before i got pregnant and so i eat ALOT of salads?

    2. I get headaches & stomach cramps all the time, not real bad cramps but enough to bother me. Also usually at night i get sick, and light headed. Ive been really bloated lately, is that okay? Are all these symptoms okay?

    3. I have a belly ring, and i want it to stay open for after i have the baby, is there anything i can put in so it doesn't close up?

    4. My belly isn't showing, but i can feel it getting harder?

    5. My doctors said getting negative test results are normal for some women, i had 5 neg test results and one positive at the doctors, why do you think all the HPT came up negative for me?

    6. I work a full time job, on my feet and lift up to 80 pounds a day. & then i go to college right after work, is that to much time on my feet?

    7. I am really little, i weigh about 113. and im worried about stretch marks, what can i put on to help them go away?

    8.When will i start showing?

    9. I have red hair & my boyfriend has brown, which color will the baby most likely have?

    10. What do you recommend for labor, the epidural?

    11. is sex alright during pregnancy? i heard being pregnant makes it ten times better ?

    12. I know that being 17 isn't a good age for a kid, but i have my boyfriend of 3 years with me, and my parents who support me, is there any GOOD way to try and ignore what people say? so i don't get stressed?

    Thank you so much everyone :)

    Ps, even though im 17, im going to give this baby a good loving home. so please, if anyone is going to leave a nasty rude message,just don't. because im not a slut & im not going to be a bad mother....

    i'll be the best mother i can possibly be :)

    • ANSWER:
      i know salad is perfect for pregnancy but you need meat! 4 sickness i had sickness till 15 weeks.
      I'm not gonna use epidural.
      i started showing when i was 18 weeks pregnant.
      for rumors, i'm 16 and pregnant (and single) and they smear me all the day so i posted the same question:

    I need some ideas on foods to eat while pregnant...?
    I really need to get on a budget, I'm spending almost 0 each pay check eating fast food because i hate to cook, and its just easier to go to a drive through. can you please give me suggestions on easy foods that are healthy. I like chicken breast, most veggies,ground beef... normal foods i guess.. we just need to get on a budget cause i'm throwing all our money towards fast food. Please help!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Make a meat loaf, it's real easy just buy the Lawry's meatloaf spice pack, 2 lbs of ground beef and I believe the spice pack calls for 1 cup of milk can't really remember. Just follow the recipe on the back of the spice pack it's so easy to do but the last 20 minutes it's in the oven spread ketchup over the meatloaf. That meatloaf can last you like 3 days in the fridge.

Only things I want to eat and my tummy will let me eat are chrisps and takeaways specially McDonlalds!

    Will I harm the baby eating like this?
    I do try to eat a little fruit!
    Sorry to go on!
    Thanks
    xxx

    • ANSWER:
      what i'd suggest is that you take a pregnancy multivitamin, like pregnancare or something similar while this stage is happening. once you hit about the 12 week mark you should be open to more foods as your body/hormones start to settle down,

      do try when you can as your tastes can change again.

  11. QUESTION:
    Pregnant ferret help?
    I got another ferret today and she is pregnant. We haven't had a pregnant ferret before so I thought I could do with some more tips.
    Her belly isn't too big but I heard that their belly's are quite small even when they are pregnant. I don't know if this is true or not.

    How long are they pregnant for?
    Do they have to have any specific type of food whilst pregnant?
    What is the average amount of kits she will have?
    Any additional advice would be great thanks!

    Serious answers only please folks!
    Thank you (:

    • ANSWER:
      Gestation period for a ferret is about 60 days and sometimes its difficult to tell because they may still look thin or they may develop a 'podgy belly'.

      They can have between 1 and 10 kits but if its a first pregnancy 2-4 would be normal.

      Make sure she's got fresh water daily and feed as normal. Remember they need a higher protein diet then cats so use a good quality dried 'ferret food'. A bit of fresh rabbit goes down well but only give small portions as she may start to hoard surplus meat and it will go off rapidly this time of year.

      Be very gentle when you handle her and she may nip if she's feeling rough.

      Ferrets are usually good mothers and mine have always ben quite happy to let me handle the kits at a very early stage although she may get upset if you hold them for too long. She will take them from your hand and put them back in the nest when she wants them back.

  12. QUESTION:
    Certain foods that help you get pregnant?
    So my husband and me are trying and my mom tells me a few days ago that they just put on the news that eating carrots help you get pregnant so I need to eat a lot of them. We had a big debate because I don't think that will really work. Is she right? If so is it just carrots or are there other foods that can help you get pregnant? Should I take her advice?

    22 weeks pregnant & have food poisoning?

  14. QUESTION:
    queezy on day 22 of cycle? Pregnant or food poisoning?
    Wednesday evening I ate chips from a local mexican restaurant. My husband did to, I was on day 18 of my cycle. Thursday morning at 4am I woke up and was nausiated. I began vomiting. I vomited 4 times in a row. I had an elevated temp. all day Thursday of 99.6 (prior was only 97.9-98.4). My husband instantly said 'you're pregnant'. I said 'probably bad food' but he had more chips than I had and he never got sick. I attributed it to them just not agreeing with my body.

    Friday I felt queezy, but no temp. Today, Saturday, I felt queezy too. I dont know if its side affects from bad food or, Im pregnant.

    I am now on day 22 of my cycle. I use a clear blue easy digital ovulation monitor. I never got the egg symbol this month, only high peak from day 14-present and counting. I dont have 'a baby bump' or any other indicators that I could be pregnant. I tell co-workers I couldnt imagine puking so early in pregnancy, but some are telling me they started puking 2 days after conception forward so now Im second guessing myself.

    I went yesterday, day 21, and had bloodwork to see if I ovulated or not. I dont want to get my hopes up. I could be pregnant since my husband and I have been TTC for 3 mos. now and we did have intercourse every day, once a day since day 12 of my cycle (two days before I began getting high peak).

    So I guess my question is... any one else had this early of 'morning' sickness? Or, any one experienced food 'poisoning' and had 2+ days afterward of being nausiated?

    Previous pregnancies I just knew I was pregnant and had multiple symptoms. This time Im on the fence and dont know one way or another. Never had food issues before but most months I get egg symbols so I know whether I ovulate or not.

    From what I've read, food poisoning causes loose bowels, which hasnt been my case. So, any help (other than just wait and find out) is appreciated. Thanks!

    any advice on how to get pregnant?
    My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant and still have not. it was such a shock to us to start having issues getting pregnant because in 2008 i got pregnant on birth control without missing a pill. i stopped taking the pill in february, but my cycles are still screwed up. besides using ovulation tests is there any positions that help getting pregnant? any foods? anything to boost fertility or anything? my cycles have been irregular so its hard for me to figure out when i am ovulating. one of my friends said to try counting 14 days after your period and that is the most likely day you would be ovulating. is this true?

  18. QUESTION:
    Could I be pregnant? Please help!?
    Hi, so let me give you a bit of background information. I turn 16 on the May 12th:), and was on the nueva ring for over 2 years. Last month I didn't put in the ring though, because I broke up with my man of 2 years and wasn't expecting anything to happen. Well I went to a party and got drunk, and ended up taking an e pill for the first time. I don't remember a whole lot from that night, but I'm pretty sure I ended up having unprotected sex, possibly with more then one guy:-/. Anyway, I usually would have gotten my period a couple days after I take the ring out. If i had put the ring in this month I should have gotten my period on the 3rd or 4th. It's now the 6th. I don't have any symptoms of being pregnant, no food cravings, no morning sickness, no weight gain. But I'm still worried. Is my period just off track because I didn't use my birth control this month? Also, should I get tested? I did some really stupid shit at that party and I'm really worried about myself now.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you could be pregnant, and yes, your period could just be late because you went off the nuva ring. Take a home pregnancy test right away, and then get yourself to a gyno for STD testing, and if need be, another pregnancy test, prenatal counseling, etc. From now on, carry condoms at all times, just in case.

  19. QUESTION:
    How do you make your chances higher to get pregnant?
    I have found that I have cancerous and pre- cancerous cells in my uterus , cervix, and maybe my tubes! My Dr said to get pregnant this may be my last hope. I'm 23 and have had a miscarrage in the past 2 mths! I dont wanna lose my chance, does anyone have any advice for me??? Has anyone had similar situations?? I was thinking to obviously keep my body as a temple and maybe taking pre-natal vitimins! Please help any answers will be greatly appreciated! Also is thier a sure fire way to get pregnant, positions, food any thing!!

    • ANSWER:
      Definitely start taking your pre-natals. Make sure you have an orgasm after he ejaculates...even if you have to make it happen yourself. Relax and try not to think about weather or not you are pregnant....I know this is hard. Have him eat fish. Have him wear loose clothing during the day. Make sure you are getting enough folic acid....this prevents birth defects, and a lot of miscarriages are from non-perfect or defective embryos.
      Good luck to you.

  20. QUESTION:
    what foods/medicine helps you get pregnant?
    i have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years and im still trying. I have had intercourse when i was on my period but nothing happened when i took a p.g test it came out negitive. is thier a problem with my husband or am i just not eating the right things. is thier any food/medicine that will help with this problem?

    • ANSWER:
      it has nothing to do with foods...ovulation plays a huge part in it...
      also quit trying so hard...stress on the body can prevent pregnancy..just enjoy yourself and relax..
      also if conception still isnt happening then maybe think about going and having a complete physical and have your husband have a sp*rm count done..

  21. QUESTION:
    Food stamps while pregnant, bit of a complication?
    I'm about to turn 18 and I'm 23 weeks pregnant. I live with my fiance who goes to school and has a job but currently isn't enough at the moment. Before I got pregnant, I had a job but I had to quit due to the excessive heat that was making me dehydrate and pass out in and outside of my job (I live in Southern Texas and worked as a cook in a pizza shop surrounded by ovens).
    I have Medicaid under my mom's name and address which is how I've been paying for my medical bills, and I tried to get food stamps on my own, but at the office I was told that everyone living under my mom's address had to be included in the application, and instead of me being the head of the account, she was going to have to do it. Appointment was set up, my mom was called, but now my mom has left me in the dark about everything.
    I don't live with her, haven't since I was 16, and I honestly doubt she's going to be calling me anytime soon if she does get an approval. To be honest with you, she has tried to take advantage of any income I get ever since I started to work, which is why I ended up leaving the house so young.
    I can't afford to lose Medicaid right now, but I really need to get on food stamps until a little after baby is born and I can get back to work. Is there anyway I can do it without my mom but the same address? As for WIC, they asked me for the paycheck stubs for my mom's address, but she doesn't want to give them to me. Anywhere else I can get help?

    Please don't be rude.
    My mother was the one who included me in her medicaid and when she originally applied for food stamps. Once the food stamps were given away, she was making me pay her my "share" of the bills at 16. I wanted to get medicaid and do everything on my own, but she's the one who doesn't want to drop me, and I don't want to get her in trouble because I know it's fraud. I don't know what to do. I need help. This is why i'm asking here.

    • ANSWER:
      You should be using your current address. And only claim the income that is in THAT household. I think it might be welfare fraud if your mom claims you as living with her when you are not. Talk to your public assistance office about Medicaid under your current address. They should be able to help you out some way.

  22. QUESTION:
    Type Of Foods To Eat While Trying To Get Pregnant?
    My partner and I have been trying to conceive for the past 6 months, we're not worried that it's taking so long as we know there's nothing to panic about unless it takes longer than a year to get pregnant.

    But is there any types of food or diet we could try to improve our chances?

    We're both fit, healthy and active people and exercise regularly but we're not exactly very gourmet minded in the kitchen so if you know any type of foods that could help us out them we'd be very appreciative.

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      FOODS TO EAT:
      *Tea - Green tea and orange pekoe tea are both excellent fertility enhancers. Tea contains a high level of antioxidants which aid in healthy immune systems. Research has shown that women who regularly drink tea increase their chance of conception.
      *Foods rich in vitamin C - Fruits, especially citrus, help enhance fertility, especially in men. Vitamin C plays a role in boosting the immune system, and thus helps to aid in a healthy conception.
      *Foods high in calcium - Calcium contributes to strong bones, and is especially important for pregnant women to consume.
      *Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid - Leafy green vegetables, nuts and whole grains contain high levels of these nutrients. Vitamin B6 is a reproductive hormone regulator and folic acid helps to prevent certain neuro-tube defects in the fetus.
      *Water - probably the most important thing to consume. Get in the good habit of drinking at least eight cups of water a day.

      FOODS TO AVOID
      *Eat a minimum of seafood. Avoid albacore tuna altogether due to the high levels of mercury in this type of fish. Mercury has been linked with serious birth defects including autism.
      *Avoid processed foods like sugar and refined flour (sweets and junk foods) since these provide no nutrition for a developing baby. Many older women who have babies are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and too much junk food can contribute to high blood sugar and a greater need for cesarean birth due to large babies from diabetic mothers.
      *Your baby depends on you and the foods you eat. Give it every advantage prior to conception and avoid problems further down the road. Eating healthy is one of the easiest things you can do during pregnancy to safeguard the health of you and the baby.

      Other than diet... I know this is a lot but I hate leaving things out!!
      Sometimes it is as simple as he may have slow sperm, or low sperm count (both totally normal, and more common than not) and there are things you can do to help increase your chances of getting pregnant! These are some of the pointers we got from our doctors when we were trying to get pregnant (I know there's a lot, but I just couldn't leave anything out, you never know what will work for who!!!);

      For him - make sure he wears lose fitting underwear like boxers, this helps keep him cooler down there. Make sure if he has a sitting job, that he gets up and gets his circulation moving ever 2 hours or so for about 10 minutes (my husband has a computer job so he sits a lot while at work, and has an hour commute both ways to and from work), tell him to avoid hot baths, showers, hot tubs or saunas-this causes the sperm count to go down. Something that isn't proven but is said to help is before having sex have him drink a cup of coffee or something high in caffiene (said to help if he has slower swimmers). When having sex, do it with him on top and with a pillow under your butt. This helps the sperm travel more quickly to where it needs to be, also after sex, stay on your back for around 20 minutes slow swimmers take longer to reach their destination!

      For you don't drink caffiene (they say it somehow can affect you getting prego), eat a lot of dark green vegitables, and don't stress, if you are worried about it or stressed at all, a lot of times your body senses that and you will not be able to get pregnant. It is supposed to be a fun time in your life, enjoy sex and have fun! That is the most important thing!

      We started having sex every other day of the month (or so) I ended up getting pregnant like 5 days before my period so I have a really weird ovulation schedule, something else you can do is buy those ovulation strips you pee on and find out when you are ovulating-this is especially a good idea if your periods are irregular because you will ovulate at different times of the month. Still best to have sex every other day because this helps his sperm count rise, start a few days before you are supposed to ovulate because his sperm can stay in your system for 5-7 days. Hopefully this will help you guys out... Don't give up! Good luck my prayers are with you!!!!

  23. QUESTION:
    why isn't it good to eat chocolate and spicy food when you are pregnant?
    i heard from a friend that it isn't good to eat chocolate and spicy food when you are pregnant. is it true? if it is, then why? when i heard about this, i got worried about my other friend, who is pregnant. i mean it. don't think that i'm the one who is pregnant because i'm not. she always seems to eat at least one spicy food everyday and chocolate and other sweets almost once every week (since she has a sweet tooth). please help me, so i can help my friend. thank you so much.

    • ANSWER:
      I ate chili dogs alot during all four of my pregnancies (cravings) and the doctors never had a problem with it. If it doesn't cause heartburn or other discomfort, it shouldn't be a problem. Eating sweets once a week won't hurt her.
      You hear lots of pregnancy myths. Relax and don't worry so much. If your friend starts eating dirt or laundry starch or something, advise her to talk to her doctor since that indicates a lack of a certain mineral in her diet. Otherwise, just share in her joy. You're a good friend to be so concerned about her and her baby.

  24. QUESTION:
    is it okay to feed my pregnant dog baby food?
    well i have heard ppl say you should give your dog baby food when shes pregnant so i did some research and some ppl said no and other ppl said yes. they also said because it has onion powder in it but i found a gerber baby food called apples and chicken and all it has in it is apples chicken and water and that's not bad for dogs. i don't mean to replace her food with it i just wanna give it to her for a treat once a week. and i also heard that original baby rice is good for the puppies when you wean them? i guess its suppose to help or be good for there digestive system.
    thanks to all the real answers! i really appreciate it.
    and no thanks to all the ppl who tell me to get my dog spayed!!!!
    i do feed her puppy food! i know she needs all the nutrition and stuff i just wanna know if its safe to give it to her once or twice to see if she likes it. its meant to be given as a treat and i know theres dog treats ppl!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, it is okay!!! They LOVE baby food, but, its not good for they little pups! They have specialized food for pregnant dogs. Baby food isn't very nutritional, so only give it to her a little bit!!

  25. QUESTION:
    Can anyone offer some healthy food ideas while pregnant?
    I pretty much feel nausea's all the time.I cant stomach alot of food but I want to get as many healthy foods in me that I can I need some ideas, for breakfast I usually have whole wheat toast with an egg or two, I hope that's ok, I usually have bananas and apples throughout the day & I eat alot of salad also.I constantly have a sweet tooth, but I try to avoid eating sweets as much as possible. I need healthy meal ideas for lunch and dinner I don't want to eat too much red meat Im trying to avoid too much of it in pregnancy. Please help!! Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      Go to www.mypyramid.gov. it shows you what you should be eating each trimester based on your personal info. I'm 19 weeks now and I eat...

      Breakfast - 2 egg cheese & tomato omelette on toast
      Snack - Cheese on wholegrain crackers
      Snack - Low fat fruit yoghurt
      Lunch - Chicken or tuna salad with 2 wholemeal bread rolls
      Snack - Cheese on wholegrain crackers
      Snack - Apple or Pear
      Dinner - Lean meat with rice and two or three different steamed veges
      Snack - Air popped plain popcorn

      I had no morning sickness so I was lucky, but at 19 weeks I have gained 2kg. I have checked my diet with my midwife and she's said its absolutely fine. It is okay to have sweets in moderation just as it is at any other time. Try dark chocolate for a healthier option.

      Also, cheese has been reccomended to me by many women for helping with morning sickness, just choose a low fat kind. :)

What position is best for baby making, and just curious to know if certain food is helpful for making a baby (what foods are best to eat), and how do you know when you are ovulating? I had all the signs of a pregnancy last month, but the oven was empty and there was no pregnancy, even though my period was a week late. What could I do to best achieve a successful pregnancy (don't care if a boy or a girl) ... ?

    • ANSWER:
      I see that you are 2 are engaged, y don't you wait till u get married? Just a question....

      I've heard drinking Green tea before pregnancy (not during pregnancy) is good for fertility. Eat foods rich in folic acid, oranges, green veggies, take a prenatal vitamin...

      It's good to get a good exercise program going to increase blood flow and give you stamina. And let it rip!

  28. QUESTION:
    Its me again about the dog in labor for 9 hours?
    im not a cruel person she was dump off at my door one nite. When i took her to the vet to see if they had some kind of food for pregnant dogs with vitamins and stuff they estimated she was about 14 years old. I tried to take her to a shelter but they were all full. I tried 6 surrounding counties. I live in northeast ok. Thers tons of dropoffs. Nobody wants to adopt a preagnant dog and i dont have the heart to just drop her off to get ranover or die. Shes been pushing all day but not hard until she broke her mucus plug just an hour ago shes bleeding but not a whole lot and it kindof feels like thers a puppy stuck sideways she dont look distressed or in bad pain but shes tired and sleeping in between pushing. I called all the vets in the surrounding counties plus mine but you hav to have the money up front. Is there anyway i can help her?

    • ANSWER:
      She is going to die along with the pups !

      If you hadn't the monies or experience of having a *pregnant* B*tch then taking her in was absolutely no help for her and I wouldn't brag about it.

      *9* hours in labor .. you are wrong about her being fine ! She and the pups are in distress, which mean lowered heart rates, which means lower oxygen, which results in death!

      I don't believe that you couldn't have surrendered the b*tch to a shelter, humane society or to a rescue.

      You are being unbelievably abusive as medical neglect is a chargeable offense... Get this b*tch to any vet NOW, You took her in it is all your responsibility so get off your lazy Cheap a$$ and rush her to someone with the fortitude to know a medical emergency and with knowledge for caring for a dog. Apply for care credit, ask about payment plans, borrow money from someone, but do something or dig her grave.

  30. QUESTION:
    Stray cat just had kittens. Any advice/help would be appreciated.?
    The person I work for has been feeding the strays that her neighbor lets have run of their barn. The two that usually come for the food are pregnant. This morning one gave birth to 5 kittens, in the rain, out in the middle of a lawn of wet grass. My boss got a cardboard box, covered it with a trash bag to keep the rain out (over the whole box not just draped over the top), and put in a fluffy towel she was willing to sacrifice. She put the box under her porch and she got me (she was scared of getting attacked) to move the babies into the box and once all the kittens were in they stopped crying and the mother fallowed them in. They are still there and now safe from the rain but there is more issue than that.

    I was asked to put out a bowl of milk and there is some leftover cooked ground beef in the bowl too. The milk is right outside the box and mother basically wolfed it down the second it was down. There is only a bit of meat left. What I'm worried about is that the other pregnant cat is poking around and each time she gets near the mom starts growling but the to be mom doesn't seem to care. I put out some milk away from the momma cat and the to be mother went to that and drank it down pretty quick and is now poking around the mother again. I do not have permission to put out more food. I was told not to since my employer doesn't want it to go to waste and the possum that roams around getting it. On top of that there are other cats.

    Also. Bringing the cats into the house isn't an option since one of the children that live there is allergic. I don't think I would be able to convince my boss to take the cats somewhere else since the kid with the allergy is hoping to start getting shots so they can keep one since he has always wanted a pet and hasn't had one (he is 12). None of the cats that come around are pets. Until a few weeks ago if a person came within 10 feet of them they darted off. They let you close enough to sniff your hand now but that is it. And momma is tolerating me and the boss being around but she doesn't want us any nearer then a few feet. Even if they don't end up keeping one of the kittens my boss is planning on finding homes for all of them but not the momma. She is planning on letting the momma stay as her outdoor stay pet.

    Any advice about feeding or care or providing shelter would be much appreciated! Any advice for my employer’s plans on making the kittens indoor pets without traumatizing them or their mother would be awesome. I'd like to day though the she is stubborn and she isn't going to listen to me about changing any of the plans she has already made. I'm just hoping I can make it easier on these animals. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      First, stop the milk. Most cats, once weaned, are lactose intolerant so she could get diarrhea. If you insist on milk, get the lactose free milk sold in supermarkets. She probably drank it because she is very hungry.

      Not having any food out after dark should help with any wild animals. Possums usually come out at night, as do other wildlife for eating.

      Once the kittens are weaned, it is critical to get the momma cat spayed. Otherwise, the cycle will continue. Work with a rescue group for that. If you are in the US or Canada, use petfinder to find groups near you.

      And since the kittens are feral, you do need to know how to tame them. That is not difficult, but the sooner you learn, the better. You can start once the kittens are moving around. Before that, under the circumstances, the mother may simply relocate the kittens where you won't find them. They will be moving around fairly confidently by the fifth week.

      Making the kittens indoor only is not really an issue. They will easily adapt, once tamed. When the kittens are eight weeks or perhaps ten, the mother will be wanting to chase them away anyway, so she can raise another litter.

    • ANSWER:
      It is really really hard to feel for puppies in a dog that big without pushing so hard on her belly that you would hurt the puppies, so I wouldn't recommend trying it. Whether she is pregnant or not, her nipples can get big, she can ooze milk, she can gain weight, and make nests; this is because of hormones from a false pregnancy. The only way to safely tell is to do an ultrasound or blood test to see if she is pregnant, and you have to wait till she is 30 days along for that (or to feel anything, really). In the meantime, feed her a good food but don't let her get too fat. Is this her first pregnancy? She is pretty old for that to happen now. You might talk to your mom about having her fixed if you have the test done and she isn't pregnant, to avoid any future "mistakes'.

  32. QUESTION:
    What food were you eating a lot of when you got pregnant?
    I'm wondering if there are any foods that can help to get pregnant. I'm a vegetarian and wondering if that's why am having a hard time.

    • ANSWER:
      I am a nurse, and tell my patients who want children what to do :
      Make sure you both eat 8 portions of ORGANIC fruit and veg a day. This is because they have a higher nutritional content than non-organic, and also have no pesticides which could effect the baby.
      This may sound stupid, but switch all meat to organic, because non-organic meat /dairy products contain growth hormones and antibiotics. YOU ARE A VEGETARIAN SO ENCOURAGE YOUR PARTNER TO. Switch all white bread to brown. Drink 8 glasses of filtered water to flush out excess toxins a day. Cut out coffee, strong tea and chocolate, (caffeine) as it has been linked to low fertility.
      Eat little and often, to sustain blood sugar levels, so it does not block progesterone.
      Fill up on fibre. It's essential for fertility as it keeps the bowels regular. Eat plenty of whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
      Don't be afraid of fats - just eat the good ones. That's oily fish (mackerel, salmon etc), sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

  33. QUESTION:
    pregnant and need food stamps..?
    me and my husband are going to have another baby...we were both working full time jobs and making good money,i had to stop working cause i was having complications and my husband has gone down to pt to help with the kids.i feel embarrassed about this whole thing..he doesnt think so but i applied for food stamps recently to help us until baby is here..i was wondering does a pregnant women get counted as 2 (mother and unbon baby) in the househol or just one cause thew baby isnt born yet? and am i the only one on here needing food stamps? any of u on food stamps that know about the program that can give me what i should expect? thank you,please no rude comments,this is my firsat time on them and i really feel embarrassed =

    • ANSWER:
      No sorry but pregnant women do not get counted as 2. However once the baby is born he/she will be counted then and you should receive more in food stamps because your household has added another member. Don't be embarrassed it happens and you are not the only one out there. I had to apply for food stamps in November because I lost my job and I was 7 months pregnant. At that point no one was going to hire me for another job immediately and because I was contract labor I couldn't file for unemployment. The amount of benefits you will receive will depend on your monthly income and the number of members living in the household. Depending on how far along in your pregnancy you are you may also be able to qualify for cash assistance as well. I also suggest applying for WIC. WIC will provide vouchers for such food items as milk, eggs, juice, etc. WIC also provides vouchers for formula after the baby is born.

  34. QUESTION:
    what can you not eat when pregnant?...?
    I'm 11-13weeks pregnant, still waiting to get my scan! I'm eating more than ususal and suffering from morning sickness. I am unsure of certain foods to avoid when pregnant, please help.

    • ANSWER:
      Avoid soft cheeses, raw eggs, unpasteurised milk and shellfish. However, that's just some of the things you need to avoid. Ask your midwife or GP for a full list, just to be on the safe side. Congratulations and good luck!

  35. QUESTION:
    pregnant and really need food ideas please?
    so yeah im pregnant, and it seems that if i dont eat something that really sounds good, then i get really sick. like diarrhea and puking up blood sick. -.- i know, doesn't make much sense, but thats my body. its nothing serious, just need to make sure i only eat things that really sound good. so heres the thing, i really need a good amount of food ideas, (preferably american food and not expensive) so i can hopefully come across some that sound good. thank you very much to anyone that helps.

    • ANSWER:
      You need to see your doctor about this. Any illness in pregnancy needs to be monitored. It could be that you suffer a vitamin deficiency, in which case your doctor will know what you should be taking to compensate. It could be that you have a virus, and you wouldn't want it to harm your baby.

  36. QUESTION:
    12 weeks pregnant, help with food cravings?
    I'm getting really upset because for weeks now my appetite has continued to change. I have a hard time finding foods that appeal to me, and most foods aren't the healthiest. When I find something that sounds good or I "must have" it, it doesn't taste good for long. I might want it for a few bites, or I might have it for a few days in a row and then I get sick at the thought of it. This goes for EVERYTHING.

    My question to you is, Can I fix this? Is there something I can do that will regulate my appetite and cravings? It's so frustrating to shop for foods I think I'll eat, and then not want a damn thing in my house.

  37. QUESTION:
    Pregnant or bad food i ate? :( serious please?
    Last night I ate some nasty pizza, like it was fresh, it just didn't settle well with me. And yesterday/ this morning its been really cloudy/rainy outside. I woke up shivering and had the worst time sleeping. I had a sharp cramping pain in my hip/stomach area. And my stomach is hurting, and no matter what I do I can't get warm. I feel kinda deezy and out of it a little. My step mom told me she still had her periods when she first got pregnant. I had my period the 1st of february. But it seemed super super light....idk what to do. I'm thinking about getting a test today to check and see. What do you guys think? Help please, only serious answers

    • ANSWER:
      While nausea is a symptom of pregnancy, chills aren't. They're usually a sign of at least a mild fever, as is the dizziness. I'd be more inclined to guess "sick" rather than "pregnant." Wait and see if you feel better in a few days.

  39. QUESTION:
    8 weeks pregnant, and no appetite or cravings, what to do?
    Before I got pregnant I loved food, all kinds, of I miss eating so much, steak, ribs, grilled chicken, seafood, spaghetti, salads...you name it. Now nothing sounds good and when it does I just can't eat I don't have a appetite at all I force myself to eat and when I do I feel sick. The only thing I seem to be able to put in my body are homemade fruit and veggie smoothies, and the thing is that though im nauseous im not grossed out by food or smells. I struggle to get myself to swallow what I eat and well it worries me because like i said when I force myself to eat anything solid I get really sick, so I guess what Im asking what can I do, It's my first baby and I want to do everything possible to keep healthy but I don't even have craving for anything,so can i live off of smoothies and prenatal vitamins until the nausea calms down which im told is usually by the 14week, or should I just bite the bullet and go through forcing myself even though im not hungry at all. I do good with fruits and veggie salads but that's about it, oh and smoothies, but I know that's not enough, and Im almost in tears everyday because I just can't eat anything els. Please Help.
    I wish I had cravings at least so I could make up for the lack of appetite, but like I said Im not hungry, I dont know if it's the changes, well it's got to be, but still not being able to eat is really bugging me. I want to provide as much nutrients as I can to my baby, but no matter how much I force myself I can't make the food go pass throat. Also My jaw gets tired so easily now. I mean trying to eat a wheathin is hard. Im very bummed about this.

    • ANSWER:
      You don't always get cravings etc etc... I lost sooo much weight when i got pregnant because I just didn't feel like eating all those things I use to.
      I ate lots of salads so I didn't feel sick from eating when i simply didn't want to eat.
      I never touched meat through my whole pregnancy, just didn't want it ever.
      I forced myself to have a banana a day and a couple of glasses of milk, which to this day I still hate eating and drinking lol...

      Im sure you will be ok, just make sure to nibble things, even just fruit and veg :)

      Goodluck.

    Are there any methods or foods or anything you do to help get pregnant!?
    Me and my girlfriend have been trying to get pregnant for 6months now! and nothing been happening at all and she doesnt know why her body wont do it or if theres something wrong with me but we havent see a doctor yet but we plan on to... but I was wondering if there were any positions or foods or anything we could do to help out chances with her getting pregnant. Any advice would be great

    • ANSWER:
      Methods:
      1.) Have her lie still for 5 minutes afterwards with her hips elevated.
      2.) Have sex at least every other day 10 to 14 days after she menstrates. Have sex when her vaginal discharge is clear and resembles an egg white. Have sex when she seems horny. These are times she is likely to be ovulating.
      3.) You switch to boxers
      4.) Avoid hot tubs

      Diet:
      They did a study of fertility and diet. Basically, women are more fertile if they eat a normal healthy diet with lots of whole grains, intensely colored vegetables, etc. The only difference between the "fertility diet" and a normal healthy diet was they concluded milk fat (eg cheese, ice cream) helps women get pregnant.
      Also, have her take a multivitamin with folic acid and iron.

    Food Ideas for a Pregnant woman with Hyperemesis?
    My wife has just been Diagnosed with hyperemesis.She was hospitalized overnight to get fluids back in her system.Im thankful shes ok.My first question is what foods can she eat or if you have had this, whats good?She has been eating crackers,fat free turkey and drinking gatoraide.The doctor said Gatoraide is sometimes better than water.I could use some help on ideas.Also, she is 12 weeks along.What is the average time for this to last?Ive heard 12-20 and also longer?And last thing, should she ask for medications to help her?Luckily, its been three days and everything is staying in.She does still feel nausea but the food and water are staying.Any help would be great..Thanks
    We went for a ride today and she vomited in the car because of the motion.It was the 1st time in a while
    She did get sick today and vomitted in the car because of the vibration.However, it wasnt the food

    • ANSWER:
      I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum at 10 weeks and I lost a lot of weight and job time because of it. Prior to getting pregnant I weighed 185 pounds and by the 5th month had lost a total of 11 pounds. My morning sickness lasted until I was 5 months along.

      I too was hospitalized for dehydration and very low potassium and the doctors put me on a bland diet. They recommended things like rice and crackers, lots of water, broths, bread, and things like that. Unfortunately, my sickness (vomitting) could last up to 24 hours so there were many days that I went without food.

      As far as medications, my doctors persrcibe phenergan and some other anti-nausea medications, but Zofran was the only one that I could keep down. They gave me the dissolvable kind which was great as it enabled me to eat and gain back that weight. Zofran is safe to use for pregnancy (otherwise it would not be perscribed!), and is also used to treat patients going through chemotherapy as that causes severe nausea as well.

      She is in for a long haul of sickness and feeling down in general. Do not be like my friends and family and tell her it is all in her head as this is a real "disease" that affects 1% of pregrnant women. If she works, make sure she tells her employer of her situation so that they can work some intermitten leave into her schedule if she calls in.

You do not need to go the extra mile to look for food items that are practically impossible to find. These items are easily available chances are, you are already consuming these daily.

If you want to increase your chances of conception, the Best Foods to Get Pregnant should be part of your daily diet. This also implies that you should decrease or temporarily remove certain food items from your meals to maximize the good food benefits that you need. Colorful fruits and vegetables are highly essential in conditioning your body for conception. These great sources of natural vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants will boost your immune system.
Instead of relying on meat products for your protein requirements, get these from vegetables and nuts instead. Not only will this heighten your chances of pregnancy, it will also deliver great benefits to your child. Pregnant women who regularly consume nuts decrease the chances of their children from developing allergies.

Apart from the Best Foods to Get Pregnant, there are also liquids or drinks involved. The topmost priority for rehydration can be obtained with good old water. Chugging down extra volumes of water daily will not only present benefits to your skin and body, it will also provide you with better production of cervical fluid.

Finally, even if you are conscious about your fat intake, it has been found in medical studies that drinking whole milk or high fat can do wonders for ovulation. If you are worried about eating ice cream or milk shakes, you can always opt to take it in small amounts each day as long as the fat content is there.

Do you want to get pregnant within 3 weeks from now? If yes, then I recommend you use the tips and techniques recommended in this infertility cure guide: Pregnancy Miracle, to significantly increase your chances of conceiving and giving birth to a healthy kid.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is there a connection b/w children diseases and foods pregnant mothers crave?
    When my mom was pregnant with me she craved fish. Fish is a good source of Omega 3's which lowers the chances of getting blood clots. A few years ago, I found out I have a condition that makes my blood clot faster than normal. Is her craving for fish linked to my blood condition, or is that just coincidence?

    • ANSWER:
      YES there's a very big connection between them because when the fetus is in the womb of the female and is still developing its major body parts, some nutrients of some foods are unnecessary for its development. IEx: if the mother smokes, that can really affect the baby. also, it can be the genes of the mother or the allergies. If the doctor says for example, you dont need anymore like vitamin C, and you eat an orange, when it affects you for eating that orange, so does it for the baby.That can cause a disease.

      So, the way that your blood has developed is probably really unlikely to have affected you and is probably a coincidence. Its just the way that your body is developed.

  4. QUESTION:
    Is it bad to eat too much sugar foods when pregnant?
    Will I get diabetes if I eat too much sugar junk food? I only eat it after a meal and I am about 24 weeks pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes its bad im 14 weeks and im on insulin. I was also hospitalized for like a week and trust me it was so booring. Having to stick myself to keep me and my baby healthy is something i wish i didnt have to do. But if you keep eating the way you do IF you are eating a ton of sugar its not good for your baby because your baby will produce a massive amount of insulin to keep your sugar down plust there sugar down. And when he or she is born it will have low blood sugar and will come out hypoglycemic which can result in your baby needing sugar water to help get its sugar back up or the baby will die thats what my diabetes educator told me so if i were your id watch it

  5. QUESTION:
    Anybody suddenly allergic to foods while pregnant?
    I've never been allergic to any foods til this pregnancy. If I eat almonds, walnuts, or pecans my tongue starts getting fat and my throat closes up. Benadryl has been a godsend. I've been allergic to those things since about 5 months pregnant. Now at 8 months, apples, canteloupe, and cinnamon are doing the same thing. What in the world? I'm wondering now how many more things I won't be able to eat by the end of this pregnancy.

      yes

  6. QUESTION:
    Did you eat canned foods while pregnant?
    After having my son, I read an article about avoiding foods containing the chemical BPA while pregnant, and it included plastic bottled drinks, canned foods. I already avoided plastic, but I probably ate canned foods once or twice a week.
    Now I'm reading tons of things saying to avoid canned foods while pregnant, so I'm getting kinda nervous. My son is perfectly healthy but it can cause health problems later in life.
    Was I a horrible mother by eating canned foods while pregnant? Do you think i shouldn't worry about it? Did you eat canned foods or avoid them?

    • ANSWER:
      I think there is so much out there today that is causing so much more stress. I dont think you should be worrying about it! I ate soup (out of a can today) and I know my baby is just fine. I drink out of plastic bottles as well. Our mothers did several things that today we would never do, and there mothers before them- some smoked and they are all still here. I know its stressful and have found myself worrying about this and that but why worry when you already did it. You cant un-eat out of cans. Its pointless to worry. You are not a bad mom. It will be ok

    piece of plastic found in food--pregnant?
    i'm almost 9 weeks pregnant and i was munching on my bagel w/cream cheese that i had bought this morning and suddenly realized that i was munching on a piece of plastic. it's a pretty thick piece of plastic that looks like it came from a wrapper. i'm really annoyed and plan on asking for my $ back. luckily i didn't swallow it, but now i can't help from worrying that it was somehow contaminated (maybe it came from the floor--who knows) and now i'll get sick. is it possible to get sick from a piece of plastic found in food, even though you didn't ingest it?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you will be fine. We all get a bit panicky on the foods that we consume and the feelings we get after we eat them. Don't worry yourself too much otherwise you could make yourself sick.. congrats on the pregnancy

  11. QUESTION:
    Trying for almost 2 years to get pregnant?
    I have been with my husband for 6 years, we got married Dec 05, and haven't used any sort of protection in 5 years. We've tried off and on for about two years to have a baby, but the disappointment is really too much, so we end up slowing down. I've been hoping that the breaks in trying (a couple months after about 3 or 4) would relax us if that's the problem but alas, no results. I think it's unusual that since we're both in our early 20's, we haven't gotten pregnant. We've been to the doctor, charted my fertility, quit smoking and eating junk food (basically revamped our whole lives to be able to have a baby) and everything is the way it should be. I guess it's all about the math now. What I'd like is some tricks women have used to become pregnant; foods and herbs that promote fertility, and any other advice besides "relax" because I don't think I can take hearing that again.

  12. QUESTION:
    Is it ok to crave sour foods while pregnant? Im 6 1/2 wks. pregnant and i crave everything spicy and sour.?
    Of course i do get heartburn and indegestion, but i love the food! Is this bad to eat while pregnant? I usually crave lemon juice on cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, and hot stuff as well. Could all this acid food be bad for my baby?

    • ANSWER:
      No it isnt, and cravings are fine just as long as you dont go overboard. Go easy on the spicy stuff, lemon juice is fine, add a pinch on ground cumin, sugar and olive oil dallop on the veges you are eating, to balance the lemon juice.
      With my first one, I used to crave Mars and I had a boy. With my second, I used to crave oranges and chinese food, and I had a daughter :)

      Good luck to you!

  13. QUESTION:
    What r some good home tips for getting pregnant? food? moves? vitamins? anything?
    Im going to turn 37 in decemember & I have no children. Im finally in a relationship in which I feel like a child would be a good thing but Im not getting pregnant, I've only bin trying for about 1 month but I worry that even though I've never bin told that I couldn't have children, I might be too old. Is there some extras that I can do that might help get me knocked up?

    • ANSWER:
      Start taking prenatal vitamins and eat healthy and exercise to start. Try to reduce any stress that you can, and track your ovulation so you know the days that you are actually fertile, which is only about 5 days of the month. And keep in mind that there is only a 20% chance of getting pregnant when an egg is released so don't stress out if it doesn't happen right away, stress isn't good when your ttc. Good luck.

  15. QUESTION:
    Can I eat deli foods while pregnant?
    I stopped at my local sandwich shop today and opted for a salad.. It had potato salad with Mayo in it.. Coleslaw.. And some other dressing on it. But I've just been told that I shud b careful what I get from a deli being 16 weeks pregnant!! Eeek! Apparently u shudnt eat deli meats but I regularly have a ham salad sarnie.. Or beef and onion! I just assumed Coz it's cooked it's safe.. Now I'm worried sick! What's safe to eat?? What about pre packed sarnies?? Or packed meat from tesco?? Any advice appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      Some doctors say yes and some say no. But, honestly i ate it all throughout my pregnancy and I was fine. I ate it in moderation. The concern is listeria. But in most of your grocery stores and deli's they have a certain code they have to follow. So, as long as things are super clean you don't need to worry too much. But, if you want to give yourself some peace of mind you can microwave the deli meat a little bit and it should kill anything bad that may be on it.

  16. QUESTION:
    What food can pregnant women NOT eat?
    I'm 6 weeks pregnant and trying to be as healthy as possible. I know they say stay away from fish and raw meat but what else?

    Also I normally eat my steaks medium to medium well. Should I get them well done or is medium well ok? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      It is hard to know when there seems to be so much conflicting advice about some foods. This is what I found on babycentre.co.uk:

      What you can and can't eat when pregnant does seem confusing to start with but if you follow a few simple rules it should become clear.

      • Cheese - soft mould-ripened or blue cheese should be avoided, i.e. cheese that has a blue vein in it or the type of skin or crust that is found on cheese such as Brie or Camembert. Unpasteurised soft cheeses, such as those made from sheep and goat's milk are also best avoided.

      • Eggs - you only need to avoid raw or undercooked eggs.

      • All salad dressings that you buy in supermarkets, such as mayonnaise, will have been made using pasteurised egg and are therefore quite safe. Cook eggs until the yolk and white are not runny any more. Be careful about eating "home-made" products such as chocolate mousse and fresh mayonnaise in delis which may contain raw egg.

      • Other dairy products - unpasteurised milk and dairy products made with unpasteurised milk are best avoided as they are more likely to carry bacteria that could give you food poisoning.

      • Paté - all paté should be avoided, whether made from meat, fish or vegetables.

      • Meat and meat products - it's fine to eat meat, but make sure it is cooked thoroughly and there are no pink or red bits and that the juices run clear, especially if it's cooked on a barbecue, or as part of a ready meal. Cured meat products, such as Parma ham and salami, also carry a risk and are best avoided.

      • Oily fish - is good for you and your baby but it can contain environmental pollutants. Have no more than two portions of oily fish a week such as mackerel, sardines and trout so you get all the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, but also cut the risk from the pollutants. Limit tuna to no more than two tuna steaks a week or four medium-size cans of tuna a week. Avoid shark, swordfish and marlin altogether because of the high levels of mercury in these fish, which could harm your baby's developing nervous system.

      • Finally, when you're handling or preparing food, make sure you follow strict food hygiene guidelines - such as washing your hands, keeping utensils and surfaces clean, using separate utensils for raw meat from those being used for ready-to-eat food, and following cooking and storage instructions carefully.

      For more detailed information, try BabyCentre's Is it safe...section - http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/isitsafeto/

      Another good website is the fsa - http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/asksam/agesandstages/pregnancy/

      Basically you should avoid soft and blue cheese, pates, liver (too much vitamin A), avoid certain fish completely (swordfish, shark and marlin - due to high mercury levels) and limit the amount of tuna you eat to no more than two tuna steaks a week or four medium-size cans of tuna a week (again due to high levels of mercury). Make sure eggs are well cooked and as for steak I would say medium - medium well is fine. No one wants to eat burnt steak!!

      Some people advise not to eat peanuts due to the risk of baby developing allergies although as far as I know this is only relevant if a member of your family has a peanut allergy.

      Sorry for the overload of info but hope it helps!!

  17. QUESTION:

  18. QUESTION:
    What foods help get pregnant and which don't?
    also is alcohol bad or it doesn't make a difference (BEFORE getting pregnant) while trying to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Increase your fiber intake and try to limit animal products and vegetable oils as these foods affect estrogen levels.

      Eat several servings of fruit, vegetables, grains such as whole wheat bread, and calcium-rich foods such as yogurt, cheese, and milk every day. Certain vitamins and nutrients such as vitamins C and E, zinc, and folic acid are important for making healthy sperm. Not getting enough nutrients can affect your periods, making it difficult to predict when you ovulate. And you may not ovulate at all if you've lost a drastic amount of weight or are obese.

      Cut out or only occasionally drink alcohol...
      you may also want to cut back on caffeine.

  19. QUESTION:
    Whats healthy foods for a pregnant women to eat?
    I am 20 weeks Pregnant and had my first ultrasound done Monday, I am low on my Amotic fluids, and my doctor wants me to drink more water(dunno how I can, thats all I drink and so much of it everyday) and she also told me to eat every 2 hours.... I get tired of eating all the healthy things like fruits and veggies all the time, and now eating every 2 hours, I dunno what all to eat, any suggestions on good healthy snacks ???

    • ANSWER:
      Don't worry so much about "healthy" snacks. As long as you're not at McDonalds every day, you'll be fine. Eat what you would normally eat. Try to cut down on sugar (less chance of gestational diabetes), and cut down on caffeine. All else is fair game. I'll tell you what I ate throughout my pregnancy, and I had a healthy big baby (12 days early at that):
      Lots of whole grain breads... with Swiss cheese & olives
      Pasta w/broccoli & sundried tomatoes in olive oil
      Chicken soup with potatoes, carrots, celery, barley (lots of soup)
      Nuts
      The occassional 20pc chicken nuggets at McDonalds
      Fried chicken cutlets with rice
      Lots of yogurt
      2 - 3 cups of hot chocolate every day (I hate drinking water)
      My crave.... Celery (lots & lots of celery - it provided the water I needed)
      As you can see... my diet wasn't low in calories or the healthiest is some people's eyes. I put on just the right amount of weight, and lost it all within 4 weeks of giving birth. As long as your body is used to the foods, you can't go wrong.

  20. QUESTION:
    Chemical taste in certain foods while pregnant?
    The other day I opened a tapioca pudding cup and it tastes like poison or some kind of chemicals. I tried to ignore it but it got stronger and stronger as I ate it. My husband said it tasted fine. Well I later baked some chocolate chip cookies, the kind you can buy where the dough is already made and rolled for you, and when I ate one of them same thing happened. Other foods are fine and haven't bothered me. I even went back to trying a different pudding cup later thinking it would be better, but after 2 bites I had to throw it away it was so overpowering. The taste doesn't stay, it is only while eating the item. So far these are the only two things that have bothered me like this. I am 8 weeks along and no morning sickness (lucky I know) but this scared me it was so strong. Any suggestions or am I maybe alone in this?

  28. QUESTION:
    Curious About States Welfare Programs?
    I am wondering what certain states are doing to stop the abuse of welfare while not hindering those in need. Please do tell if you know what types of programs are used in your state.

    In Arkansas we provide government housing at no cost or low cost depending on the persons needs.

    Rather than food stamps we have food cards that work like credit cards. Only the person whos name is on the card may use them and they can only be used to purchase food items. This prevents the cards from being sold or traded, so all of the money isuued by the government is actually used for food.

    Pregnant women who are of low income get free healthy foods. Only health food can be bought insuring that the mothers get the nutrition that they need.

    All children in the state of Arkansas who do not have health insurance have it provided by the state. This program is known as ARkidsfirst, and it provedes free dental and medical services at a doctor of your choice.

    32 weeks pregnant, is it safe to eat ground cinnamon with your food while pregnant? Been getting mixed results?
    So it's my first pregnancy and I am very paranoid, I was wondering if it's safe at all. I've been getting mixed answers online, called my nurse and she says, she "THINKS" it's ok, but couldn't give me a for sure answer. What would be a safe amount to eat?

    • ANSWER:

  33. QUESTION:
    What foods contain folic acid..?? I know it is really important to enough folic acid when pregnant?
    and even before you get pregnant, so what foods contain folic acid??

    • ANSWER:
      Food manufacturers are required to add folic acid to enriched grain products such as breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, and rice so that each serving contains at least 20 percent of the daily requirement, and some breakfast cereals contain 100 percent (400 mcg) or more. Dark leafy greens are also a good source of folate, as are legumes such as lentils and chickpeas. Other sources include the following:
      cooked lentils

      collard green

      chickpeas

  34. QUESTION:
    What are some helpful tips on getting pregnant?
    I'm almost 25 and my fiance (soon to be husband) and I are planning on getting pregnant within the next 6 months. I'm worried I won't be able to get pregnant since I've been on Birth Control for so many yrs, but others have told me I can get pregnant within a couple months. The major problem I have had in the past was periods (when I went off B.C.) showing up just random times and sometimes for weeks at a time. Obviously it's hard to get pregnant when you are always PMS-ing. Any ideas on how to control my period from coming all the time? Also, are there any 'secrets' on how to get pregnant? Foods? Excercise? Luck? Pills?

    Thank you!!

    PS Please only serious answers, we have been trying for (on and off) for 3 yrs. with no luck......

    • ANSWER:
      You will need to speak with your doctor, I've heard of people not getting there period but never getting it to much. In the meantime you can get an ovulation kit to pinpoint your ovulation date. I would exercise 3x a week just to stay fit and healthy, and also start taking prenatal vitamins. If you've been trying off and on for 3 years you may need to get the doctor to run some tests with you and your soon to be hubby just to make sure everything is okay.

      Good Luck!

  35. QUESTION:
    21 weeks pregnant, what foods should i eat?
    im 21 weeks pregnant, and i feel as if im not eating right, like to much junk food ex; icecream chocolate but i have these cravings so i give in and eat, but than i feel guilty that im getting my baby fat or might get diabetes, so what types of meals, and snacks are good?

    • ANSWER:
      Lean meats, fresh fruits and vegetables, lowfat dairy, whole grains, and things like that are all what you should be getting the bulk of your nutrition from.

      If you're craving ice cream, get low-fat frozen yogurt instead and see if that's good enough. If not, it isn't bad to splurge once in a while as long as you don't make a habit of it.

  36. QUESTION:
    Where can i get a list of foods to avoid while pregnant?
    Where can i get a list of foods to avoid while pregnant?

    I just read online not to eat sausages, why is that?
    I had sausages yesterday, but they were cooked properly.

    This is my first pregnancy, if u could give me a little guidance.

    I won't be able to see the doctor for a week.

    • ANSWER:
      Here's list .....

      What not to eat when you are pregnant:

      * Raw Meats and Seafood including sushi - all uncooked and rare meats and seafood should be avoided due to high risk of listeria and salmonella poisoning.

      * Deli meats including hot dogs - these deli meats might be contaminated with listeria bacteria which may result in miscarriage or even a stillbirth. It's safe to eat deli meats if you reheat them until steaming hot.

      * Refrigerated smoked seafood - for the same reason of listeria contamination. It is safe if they are contained in cooked dishes. Canned and shelf-stable versions are safe to eat.

      * Raw eggs - raw eggs may contain salmonella. Some Caesar salad dressings, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream and custards as well as Hollandaise sauces may be made with raw eggs. It is best to check with your server in a restaurant; if in doubt, it is best to avoid it. In addition, unpasteurized eggnog should be avoided.

      * Fish high in mercury - avoid high-mercury fish such as Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel and Tilefish. Also limit fish intake to no more than 2 servings per week. For more info - read Is it Safe to eat Fish during Pregnancy?

      * Soft cheese - avoid the following soft cheeses: Feta, Brie, and Camembert cheeses, blue-veined cheeses, queso blanco, queso fresco and Panela. They are safe to eat if they are labelled pasteurized.

      * Refrigerated pâtes or meat spreads - for the same reason of listeria contamination. It is safe to eat the canned or shelf-stable versions.

      * Liver - liver is a rich source of iron. However it contains a high level of Vitamin A. Large amounts of Vitamin A can be harmful to the baby.

      foods to avoid pregnancy what not to eat pregnant

      * Unpasteurized milk and juices

      * Alcohol - many documented fetal abnormalities and birth defects have been associated with alcohol use during pregnancy.

      God Bless you and your pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      In the beginning, all I wanted was sweets. I still have to have some kind of dessert every day, but its not like the absolute only thing I want to eat. Weird part is before I was pregnant I didn't ever eat sweets except around my period. It's hormonal. By your second trimester your hormones will be on a more even keel.

    Pregnant food poisoning - my dad wants abortion?
    My fiance is 21 and I'm 17.

    We got engaged a month ago and I'm a few weeks pregnant. My fiancé is amazing but his family doesn't like me because they think I'm a blonde bimbo goldigger. I feel out of place as he is wealthy, smart and posh and I'm none of these. He got me an expensive engagement ring but I feel guilty that I don't deserve it. We love each other.

    But my parents are not happy. My dad is begging me to have an abortion, so is all of my family and my fiancés family.

    My fiancé wants whatever I want but deep down he wants our baby. I want our baby but I just feel like everyone decides for me. And daddy will get the last say.

    I live with my parents and this past day I have been in so much pain, I have been sick, cant eat, cant drink, crying, cramps, shattered. Last night I was down on all fours in pain. Doctors said 2day it's bad food poisoning and my dad says that I am jepordising my health for a baby.

    Im suppose to be getting my period in a few days. Today i woke up with this horrible water diarrhoea, that ive never had before in my life. Hours later i had the urge to vomit but didn't vomit anything up though just had the whole dry heaving thing going on. The thought of some foods and smells are making me feel super nauseous.

    I at first thought this was some kind of stomach virus but usually when i have a stomach virus my stomach hurts like hell. My stomach barely hurts and i feel not as sick as i normally would with a stomach virus. I also notice i have been peeing alot lately way more than normal

    • ANSWER:
      Those are not symptoms of pregnancy. Sounds like a bug, not a bun in the oven.

  42. QUESTION:
    KITTEN FOOD FOR PREGNANT CATS?
    Ok so if my cat Fresca was to get pregnant i need a good quality dry kitten food. Please list some good kittens foods from petco that are not too expenisve.

    • ANSWER:
      How irresponsible. 8 million cats killed a year for being born and and you won't fix your cat AND you obviously know nothing about feline nutition sigh

      Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s health
      Contrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat.
      Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingrediant a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things?
      http://www.catinfo.org/#Learn_How_To_Read_a_Pet_Food_Ingredient_Label
      http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Perhach/PetFood/InterpretingLabels.htm
      Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u.t.i’s and a host of other problems. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms
      The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process. Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in
      Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and don't use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive.
      http://www.catinfo.org/#My_Cat_is_Doing_Just_Fine_on_Dry_Food
      You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesn't have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all.
      THE BEST CAT FOODS CONTAIN NO GRAINS NO BYPOODUCTS NO MEAL
      Cats are meat eaters not cereal or rice eaters
      Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. I would rather feed a middle grade canned food then the top of the line dry food.
      Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www.felinefuture.com/nutrition/bpo_ch4a.php

      Please read about cat nutrition.

      Vetinarian diets The reason your vet thinks so highly of the pet food they sell probably has more to do with money than nutrition. In vet school, the only classes offered on nutrition usually last a few weeks, and are taught by representatives from the pet food companies. Vet students may also receive free food for their own dogs and cats at home. They could get an Iams notebook, a Purina purse and some free pizza. http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Perhach/PetFood/Vets.htm

  43. QUESTION:
    Dealing with pregnant food cravings?
    OMG! I can not stop eating today. Then some days I'm too nauseous to eat at all. But today I had a chef salad at waffle house, hot wings philly cheesesteak pizza, oh grilled cheese with bacon in it, and I'm really really really craving cheesecake ice cream with strawberries and graham cracker crust and also some lima beans with rice ham and cornbread and I could really go for some tuna stuffed shells with pickles in them too. Does anyone else do this? I'm almost 8 weeks, and it's like if I don't crave it, I can't eat it. That will be all day I can't eat. Then when I eat, I can't get full and I keep thinking of what I should eat next, and I don't stop.

    • ANSWER:
      Well, I'm not pregnant anymore, but. . . when I was pregnant (atleast in the beginning) I had a strong craving for the mashed potatoes from KFC. Don't ask me why? I had to have corn, cheese and gravy on the potatoes. Haha. I ate there everyday for a whole week.

      I also had to have not only the pickles, but the juice. I'd drink the pickle juice from the jar. Just had to HAVE it. Teehee.

  44. QUESTION:
    is it ok to eat chinese food when pregnant?
    Is it okay to eat chinese food when pregnant ??? i saw a sign in the resturant today but i didnt get a chance to actually read it... i only had veggies and chicken balls and noodles and egg rolls.. just wondering

    • ANSWER:
      Some questions to ask before you actually eat it include:
      what is the salt content?
      What is the MSG content?
      How fresh is it?
      Does it contain any raw egg?

      You need to be careful about how long ago it was made and whether it has been reheated so avoid ready to eat chinese from take away stores. Ask for all food to be prepared fresh and for no added salt or MSG.

  45. QUESTION:
    6 weeks pregnant, what foods should i eat, and how should i exercise?
    I'm 18 and 6 weeks pregnant i'll be 7 weeks on saturday. I work at lowes seasonal/full-time working from 6:45am -6:00pm. Lately my fiance and i have been short on money and we vigure it will be that way for at least 2 or 3 months, we are living with his mother for now paying her 0 a month, and every now and then we have to get our own food. I haven't been to an OB/GYn yet because they wont let me come in 'till april 18. but i'm jw what i can do for exercise? and what kind of food am i suppost to eat? and what food am i not suppost to eat? plus is there any cure for morning sickness?

    • ANSWER:
      Go for 30 minute walks. It won't be too strenuous for you and it will strengthen your muscles throughout your pregnancy. If you've already been doing some physical activity, you can continue doing on a lower scale since you're already in good shape. My Dr. recommended that I keep doing my normal exercise routine until my body says to stop.
      As far as what to eat everything I've read says high protein and high carbs. Stay away from processed sugar and things that are too salty.... and you'll be fine.

Foods To Help Get Pregnant

Foods To Help You Conceive Or Get Pregnant With A Boy Baby
A lot of attention has recently been given to the correlation between what a pregnant woman eats before conception and the gender of the baby she ends up having. A recent study indicated that women who consume more daily calories (as much as about 2200) and consumed breakfast were more likely to conceive a boy.

Some women who want sons will read this and arbitrarily try to bump up their caloric intake and start making breakfast a priority. While I applaud these efforts, you should know that in a sense this is flying blind, because the acidity of the foods are every bit as important as what you consume and when. I'll tell you why this is true in this article and will also offer examples of the foods you should be eating (and avoiding) if you're wanting to conceive a boy.

Why The Foods You Eat Affect Your Chances Of Conceiving A Boy: The theory behind all of this food businesslies withyour body's acidity. Your vaginal PH actually greatly affects the sperm that will produce a girl or a boy. The Y or boy sperm are very weak and can not survive for very long in a high PH before they begin to weaken and die off. So, if you want a son, you'll need to lower this PH, which is also known as "alkalizing your body." You can do this through your diet or through douching.

A Diet High In Sodium And Potassium Are Said To Help When Wanting A Boy Baby: Old wives tales will tell you that you should consume bananas to get a son. There is some validity to this, but there are better options. These myths are based on high sodium / potassium containing foods. Bananas do contain a high amount of potassium, but they are relatively low in sodium. Better choices are apricots, figs, raisins, nuts, All Bran, and baked potatoes with skins.

Likewise, it's said that you should avoid foods high in magnesium and calcium (which favors a girl). Examples are cheese, yogurt, legumes, and leafy green vegetables.

Alkalizing Foods To Lower Your Vaginal Acidity And PH In Preparation For A Boy Conception: Potassium and magnesium can only go so far. You'll also need to alkalize your vaginal tract. One important part of this is going on a diet that is very high in alkaline foods. Examples are almost all veggies with the exception of corn. Many people believe that orange juice is acidic (I used to). It's actually quite alkalizing as is watermelon and spinach.

Highly Acidic Foods That You Want To Avoid If You're Trying For A Son: What you add to your diet is very important, but you'll also need to steer clear of foods with a high PH that canthrow a wrench inall of your hard work. Examples are many fruits, most meats, and whole grains. Most vegetables are alkaline, but corn is not, having a surprisingly high PH.

If You Want To Make This Process Quicker And Easier: If you have patience and lots of diligence, you can alkalize your body with foods alone. However, if you faster or more dramatic results, you can accomplish this through combining your diet and douching. There is an easy way that you can test this. Get a PH testing kit from many nutrition stores or on line. Test your PH before you start any of the diets or douches. Then, after a few days of your restrictive diet, test again. You'll probably see moderate results. Then, douche with a solution meant to lower your PH (this is usually stronger than just baking soda) and test again. You'll likely see that the douching made a big difference. But, douching is not mandatory if you have the patience to implement the diet and keep testing until you reach optimal levels.

A Few Other Considerations: Foods and douching are very important pieces in the gender selection puzzle. But, there are a few more. You will also need to conceive on the day of ovulation and use sexual positions that place the sperm very close to the egg (deep penetration.) Both of these things ensure a shorter, less traumatic trip for the relatively weak boy sperm.

I know this seems like a lot to think about, but just look at it as a simple three step process consisting of timing, positioning, and obtaining the right PH. There are douche recipes and food list that make this process a bit easier. And, it helps to use a calendar to record ovulation, the foods you're to eat, and your PH readings so you can literally see when the time is right.

Conceive A Boy is a website I set up to make the process of having a son a bit easier. I've included step by step instructions and resources for the douching recipes, food lists, and PH testing strips mentioned in this article as well as hints, tips, and support.

    Not being able to find the right foods while pregnant?

  2. QUESTION:
    piece of plastic found in food--pregnant?
    i'm almost 9 weeks pregnant and i was munching on my bagel w/cream cheese that i had bought this morning and suddenly realized that i was munching on a piece of plastic. it's a pretty thick piece of plastic that looks like it came from a wrapper. i'm really annoyed and plan on asking for my $ back. luckily i didn't swallow it, but now i can't help from worrying that it was somehow contaminated (maybe it came from the floor--who knows) and now i'll get sick. is it possible to get sick from a piece of plastic found in food, even though you didn't ingest it?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you will be fine. We all get a bit panicky on the foods that we consume and the feelings we get after we eat them. Don't worry yourself too much otherwise you could make yourself sick.. congrats on the pregnancy

  3. QUESTION:
    What r some good home tips for getting pregnant? food? moves? vitamins? anything?
    Im going to turn 37 in decemember & I have no children. Im finally in a relationship in which I feel like a child would be a good thing but Im not getting pregnant, I've only bin trying for about 1 month but I worry that even though I've never bin told that I couldn't have children, I might be too old. Is there some extras that I can do that might help get me knocked up?

    • ANSWER:
      Start taking prenatal vitamins and eat healthy and exercise to start. Try to reduce any stress that you can, and track your ovulation so you know the days that you are actually fertile, which is only about 5 days of the month. And keep in mind that there is only a 20% chance of getting pregnant when an egg is released so don't stress out if it doesn't happen right away, stress isn't good when your ttc. Good luck.

  4. QUESTION:
    What foods help get pregnant and which don't?
    also is alcohol bad or it doesn't make a difference (BEFORE getting pregnant) while trying to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Increase your fiber intake and try to limit animal products and vegetable oils as these foods affect estrogen levels.

      Eat several servings of fruit, vegetables, grains such as whole wheat bread, and calcium-rich foods such as yogurt, cheese, and milk every day. Certain vitamins and nutrients such as vitamins C and E, zinc, and folic acid are important for making healthy sperm. Not getting enough nutrients can affect your periods, making it difficult to predict when you ovulate. And you may not ovulate at all if you've lost a drastic amount of weight or are obese.

      Cut out or only occasionally drink alcohol...
      you may also want to cut back on caffeine.

I been getting cramps but not really bad. I am not bleeding either thank god!

    Thanks for those who can help!

    • ANSWER:
      Don't eat:

      •Raw meat such as sushi, seafood, rare or uncooked beef, or poultry because of the risk of contamination with coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis, and salmonella.
      •Raw eggs, or foods containing raw egg such as Caesar dressing, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or custard, unpasteurized eggnog, or Hollandaise sauce because raw eggs may be contaminated with salmonella.
      •Soft cheese such as blue cheese, feta, Brie, Camambert, and Latin-American soft white cheeses such as queso blanco and queso fresco because they may harbor harmful bacteria.
      •Fish containing accumulated levels of mercury in their fatty tissues such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish. When a pregnant woman consumes large amounts of mercury, her baby may suffer brain damage resulting in developmental delays (for example, delays in learning to walk or talk).
      •Fish containing high levels of an industrial pollutant called polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their fatty tissues such as bluefish and striped bass, and freshwater fish such as salmon, pike, trout, walleye from contaminated lakes and rivers. According to the March of Dimes, consumption of large amounts of PCBs by pregnant women is linked to decreased attention, memory, and IQ in their babies. Check with your local Health Department to determine which fish in your area are safe to eat.

      What should you eat?

      WHOLE GRAINS
      You need plenty of complex carbohydrates every day as a rich source of B vitamins, fiber, and trace minerals such as zinc, selenium, chromium and magnesium and more. Dietitians encourage you to strongly emphasize whole grains and the breads, cereals, pastas and more that are made from them, while avoiding sugary foods, full of empty calories. This means choosing whole wheat bread, oatmeal, buckwheat pancakes, whole grain cereals and the like over white bread, cookies made with sugar and white flour, commercial muffins and similar foods. Sprinkle wheat germ on foods as well - one quarter cup of wheat germ contains 15% of the RDA for protein, vitamin E and iron; 30% for thiamine; 10 % for riboflavin and B6; 20% for folic acid and magnesium, 35% for phosphorous and 30% for zinc. Whole grains simply pack more nutritional punch than even enriched refined grains, so read labels carefully. As an added bonus, many women find these whole grains help calm a queasy stomach during the first trimester, and are a quick fix for low blood sugar which can occur at any time during pregnancy, and lead to lightheaded, dizzy feeling if you go too long between meals. (Always report all of your symptoms, included dizziness, to your doctor.)

      PROTEIN
      You need more protein, and should aim to include two or three servings of protein in your diet every day, of about three ounces each. Good sources of protein include meat, fish, eggs and poultry. Higher fat sources of protein, for those having trouble gaining enough weight, include peanut butter. Choose lean sources if you're gaining too rapidly. If you're a vegetarian, work hard to include complete vegetable protein combinations in your diet using portions of legumes and grains together, or dairy protein by combining dairy and either legume or grain servings.

      CALCIUM
      You need about 900 milligrams every day, and 1200 milligrams during the third trimester. Get your calcium from skim milk and cheeses, and remember hard cheeses have more calcium per ounce than softer cheeses. Eat non-fat yogurt, and you'll be getting protein as well. Snacks such as almonds, baked good made with soy flour and dried apricots and figs also contain calcium.

      GREEN LEAFY AND YELLOW VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
      These vegetables are excellent sources of fiber and vitamin A (you need 5,000 international units of vitamin A a day while pregnant and 6,000 when nursing.) They also offer many trace vitamins, minerals and metals. Again, you can choose double duty foods - like cantaloupe, broccoli, peppers and tomatoes (including tomato juice, sauce and paste) which also provide vitamin C. Try to eat three servings a day.

      IRON
      You need iron-rich foods because your body is working hard to create the extra blood supply you need to support you and your growing baby. Your pregnancy supplement should include about 30 - 60 mg of iron. You don't want to oversupplement if you don't need to, because iron supplements can cause diarrhea or constipation in some women. Try to include a iron-rich foods such as these in your diet every day, but do take your supplement as well: beef, chickpeas and other dried beans and peas, raisins and other dried fruits, spinach, pumpkin seeds and soy products.

      VITAMIN C FOODS
      Have two servings of vitamin C-rich foods every day, for about 100 milligrams. Try to eat fruits and vegetables raw, whenever possible, as cooking reduces their vitamin content. Examples of tasty vitamin C sources include berries of all kind, oranges, tangerines, cantaloupe, grapefruit, mango, papaya, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, kale, tomatoes, peppers and spinach.

  10. QUESTION:
    Have you craved something other than food while pregnant? I'm worried and should be!?
    I am 31 weeks, 32 years old, married and pregnant with baby girl #1. My pregnancy has been ok...rough for months 3 and 4. I have not craved any weird foods like ice cream and pickles, etc during my entire pregnancy, and have continued to eat as I normally would. I went through a spurt where I craved orange juice for like 3 months, but that has passed (probably because I gave myself acid reflux from drinking so much of it, lol).

    Now serious matters...I am craving Comet and Ajax cleanser! Please no harsh words because I know that this is a problem and plan on discussing with my doctor on my next visit. The craving has NOT been there my entire pregnancy, and it just started about 3 weeks ago. I love the smell of it, and am so tempted to taste it. I clean with it daily in large amounts just to smell it. Guys, I am serious, my mouth actually waters for it! I have not tasted it, but continue to sniff it (not inhale). I have never done any drugs in my entire life! What is wrong with me? I confided in my husband, and I think he sort of thinks it's a joke until he walked in on me in the bathroom the other day with Comet cleanser all over my hands.

    I know this is not normal...looking back, a memory just came to me. I remember as a little girl probably around 8 years old, I used to love to help my mom clean out the sink and bathtub so I could use large amounts of Comet/Ajax Cleanser to create a cloud of smoke and just inhale it. As a kid, I used to taste it too! I do not do this to get high at all, I just love the smell and powdery feel of it.

    Not sure if I am looking for advice or similar stories of craving something other than food while pregnant and how you overcame it! I will definitely tell my doctor on my next visit and I promoise I will not eat it, but am having a hard time not sniffing it.

    Thank you!

      That is a way your body has of telling you that there is a deficiency of some type of vitamin in your body. You should call your doctor ASAP!

  11. QUESTION:
    what foods are good for pregnant women?
    well my friend just announced she is prego and wanted me to help her get through the 9 months..so i just need to know besides organic foods and the basic food groups, what are some healthy things to be eating?? thanks..

    • ANSWER:
      Well she needs to make sure she needs to AVOID are....
      --FISH
      Certain fish (such as shark, marlin, southern blue fin tuna, orange roughy and swordfish) contain high amounts of mercury that is accumulated in their fatty tissue – pregnant women should avoid eating large amounts to avoid neurologic damage to your growing baby. Your growing baby has a sensitive developing nervous system and while it is not clear how much seafood one would have to eat to experience harmful effects, it would be best to avoid these fish. Also other raw seafood that women should avoid altogether are oysters and uncooked sushi.

      --RAW EGGS
      Perhaps the thought of raw eggs never crossed your mind but they can be a source of salmonella. Foods that contain raw egg include mayonnaise, caesar salads, eggnog, hollandaise and certain batters like those used for cookie dough. To reduce the risk of salmonella, remember to cook your eggs before eating them in any meal.

      -- RAW CHICKEN
      Raw chicken should be avoided at all times, but more so during pregnancy. Eating or coming into contact with surfaces that have had raw chicken prepared on them can transmit salmonella. Even cold chicken from the night before should be heated or cooked again to destroy any traces of salmonella.

      -- RAW MEAT
      Whether it is a rare steak, or an uncooked meat dish, raw meat has the capability to cause serious damage to your unborn baby. Raw meat should be avoided when pregnant as it can cause a parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis or E. Coli infection. This can result in a potential intrauterine foetal infection. Other dangers that may result from eating raw meat are coliform bacteria and salmonella.

      -- SOFT CHEESES
      Soft cheese such as blue cheese, feta, brie, camembert, cottage, ricotta, Latin-American soft white cheeses and any unpasteurised milk or foods made from unpasteurised milk should be avoided during pregnancy as they may contain the bacteria, Listeria. This bacteria is very harmful to your unborn baby and must be avoided. While adults with Listeria quite often show no symptoms it could cause life-threatening complications to the foetus or newborn. Listeriosis has been known to trigger miscarriage, premature births and blood poisoning. It is best to avoid this food type when pregnant and consume only after birth.

      When buying fruit and vegetables make sure you wash them clean of any harmful pesticides and bacteria. Unwashed vegetables have the potential to transmit toxoplasmosis – a parasite that contaminates the soil. Also any mouldy fruit and vegetables should be avoided altogether.
      Other foods to avoid when pregnant

      Soft serve ice cream and a lot of deli foods can also contain Listeria, so it is important to avoid or if possible to minimise contact with this harmful bacteria.

      -- FOOD ADDITIVES
      Many foods are full of additives and preservatives so careful selection of packaged food in supermarkets is advised. Additives to avoid are MSG (monosodium glutamate) which could cause stomach upsets and headaches; artificial food colourings should also be avoided particularly blue 1, blue 2, green 3, red 3 and yellow 6 and Saccharin.

      and as for what you have said (the basic food groups) here is a list of the "best" foods to eat while pregnant, well they are very beneficial is what i mean =D
      Almonds
      Asian Greens
      Apricots
      Avocado
      Banana
      Blue berries
      Brazil Nuts
      Carrots
      Cheese - Hard
      Chick peas and Lentils
      Dairy Products low fat
      Dark green vegies
      Dried Fruit
      Eggs
      Fennel
      Flaxseed oil
      Garlic
      Ginger
      Fresh Herbs
      Lean Meat
      Oats
      Pear
      Seafood (Salmon and Oil fish in particular)
      Sesame Seeds
      Sunflower seeds
      Tofu
      Wheatgerm
      Wholegrains.

      Also make sure she has moderate exercise which will help keep some of those pregnancy aches and pains at bay and also will help her during labour AND make sure she is drinking enough water

    10. What do you recommend for labor, the epidural?

    11. is sex alright during pregnancy? i heard being pregnant makes it ten times better ?

    12. I know that being 17 isn't a good age for a kid, but i have my boyfriend of 3 years with me, and my parents who support me, is there any GOOD way to try and ignore what people say? so i don't get stressed?

    Thank you so much everyone :)

    I need some ideas on foods to eat while pregnant...?
    I really need to get on a budget, I'm spending almost 0 each pay check eating fast food because i hate to cook, and its just easier to go to a drive through. can you please give me suggestions on easy foods that are healthy. I like chicken breast, most veggies,ground beef... normal foods i guess.. we just need to get on a budget cause i'm throwing all our money towards fast food. Please help!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Make a meat loaf, it's real easy just buy the Lawry's meatloaf spice pack, 2 lbs of ground beef and I believe the spice pack calls for 1 cup of milk can't really remember. Just follow the recipe on the back of the spice pack it's so easy to do but the last 20 minutes it's in the oven spread ketchup over the meatloaf. That meatloaf can last you like 3 days in the fridge.

  14. QUESTION:
    Pregnant + Food?
    I seem to be only eating th follwoing things everyday. Its only what sounds good and will stay down:

    Cheerios- no milk
    carrots- plain
    pickles
    popsickles- fruity kind
    cottage cheese
    bananas- plain
    ravioli
    + tons of water, gatorade + orange juice- nothing else

    And then one big meal, for dinner, and thats about it. ( I still have trouble keeping that down.
    I also, just today, started taking a prenatal vitmain, do yuo think this will help my appetitie any or no?

    I'm not sure what else to do but I can't seem to hold anything down. My baby isn't getting enough nutrition is it?

    Does anyone have any tips for me?
    Eating cheerios plain when i first wake up seems to be working for my morning sickness though.
    By the way I'm only 16 years old
    + I'm 6 weeks and 4 days

    • ANSWER:
      you need to be adding more meats and veggies. You need to ask your mom to help you plan a balanced diet, and ask your OB when you see them if they have any sources for a healthy pregnancy diet. Remember that, for the moment, you are not eating for 2, but for you and a peanut. Don't go overboard or you'll gain too much weight. Only an additional 300 calories per day (healthy foods!!!) for the first trimester. Then your caloric intake increases slightly from there each month throughout your pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins don't help with nausea, but if it gets too bad, ask your OB for a med that will help, especially if the nausea lasts past the first trimester. If it helps, chew on Tums frequently, it helped me somewhat. If eating plain cherios helps, keep doing it. In fact, keep some with you throughout the day and eat some when you feel that you are getting nauseous. That might help ease it somewhat as well. good luck.

  17. QUESTION:
    How bad is consuming junk food when pregnant?? (8 weeks pregnant)?
    Before I got pregnant I never ate any junk food of any kind. My diet has always been fruit, veggies, milk, yogurt, fish and chicken. But now, I find myself reaching for a pkt of biscuts, donuts, chocolate, sweets or icecream. I hate the taste of it sweet food and almost always throw it all back up but I get really stressed if I can't have it. I know it sounds stupid...'just don't eat it'. I would try to completely stop if I knew if there were any risks. I have talked to other mothers and they said listen to my body and if I am wanting to eat sweet food then eat it.But is there any harm in eating it? please someone help me?? I am going to get so lardy too,.....and that wont be the baby...it would be me eating rubbish...URGH

    • ANSWER:
      It's not called junk food for no reason. Junk food is full of bad stuff like corn syrup, saturated fats, mono-sodium glutamate and other chemicals. Junk food is bad for anyone and especially so if you are pregnant. Remember, whatever you eat you are also feeding to your baby.

  18. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to get pregnant, from position, timing, foods, whatever can help?
    Ive been trying for a while and am having no luck. My partner smokes though, I dont. Is that a factor?

    • ANSWER:
      Make sure you are getting plenty of folic acid, this not only boosts fertility but reduces risks of preterm birth and some birth defects. It is in whole grains and leafy green vegetables and added to some orange juices, also comes in a supplement. Start off with 2 protein servings, 3 calcium servings, no more than 6 whole grain servings daily until you conceive (obviously fruits as well). Your partner should also do this with you as it boosts his fertility as well!!! Cut back on caffeine if you drink a lot, switch to decaf if your a coffee drinker, too much is linked to lowerred fertility. Your partners smoking is a factor, reduces the sperm count and second hand smoke is never a good thing for you either. It is a myth that having sex everyday decreases sperm count and around ovulation it is more likely to end in pregnancy than only every other day. More is more! Position does not play a role in conception but it never hurts to try deeper penetration positions and lying down for a while after sex so the sperm doesn't run out. Just stay relaxed, being too tense and uptight actually makes it harder to conceive. And give it time! It usually takes about 6 months for a healthy 25 year old to conceive and longer if you are older. Be familiar with your ovulation days!! It happens halfway through your cycle, if your cycle is 28 days, count 14 days after the first day of your last period and that is when you start ovulating, then is the most likely time you will get pregnant. You can also calculate this online. Good luck!!!

  19. QUESTION:
    pregnant with a hsbnds cat in the house, that wont leave...?
    Hi !!
    first of all thanks for entering. im 4 months pregnant and my husband has a cat in the house, i've read all types of articles that a cat can be dangerous for the baby growth,besides that im extremely alergic 2 cats. i've made him read the articles but he always has a reason for making the cat stay in, "the cat is almost always inside" "he does not eat rats" (as if he goes out with him everytime the cat goes out...) once i caught the cat eating a coacorach, what wont make him eat a rat? ..............
    its imposible to make some sense it 2 him with that awfull cat.. dont get me wrong im an animal lover, i have 2 dogs, but outside the house.. and this cat behaves awfully, he always jumps in bed no matter how much u punish him, he always jumps up to the table and always always looooves to land on the food (im pregnant nobody messes with my food, haha..) etc.... this cat cannot be teach.. im trying to teach him to not go in the baby's room but ofcourse nothing can be teached to this cat ! ... anyways im just extremely worried something may go wrong with the baby.. my last pregnancy ended up in misscarrige and i dont want this to end up the same :( help what should i do ? should i keep trying for the cat to make him stay out of the house or should i just leave the cat in ??

    • ANSWER:
      The only cause for concern with cats is toxoplasmosis. However, if this cat is mostly an indoor cat it's rare he would carry that disease. And it's passed through their feces so as long as you stay away from the litter box, or wear gloves if you have to change it then you and baby will be fine.

      But, if you're still uncomfortable, tell your husband he's going to have to work with the cat to get him more well behaved before the baby comes. No jumping on tables, no jumping on the bed, etc. Those are reasonable requests, after all.

  20. QUESTION:
    my cat is pregnant how can i prepair her ?
    My cat is pregnant she’s not even a year old yet but close to it. Will she eat her babies or have a hard time caring for them?? I heard it’s a good idea to get a box and cut a hole into it with news paper and maybe heating pad and towels?? Also how long will she be pregnant because I have school and work everyday I hope to help her through this..And another thing? Should I buy kitten milk with bottles just incase she has trouble feeding them on her own??

    p.s. is it safe for her to be jumping on things? she jumps very high sometimes and i clinch because im scared shell fall!! with her huge belly..is there a special food for pregnant cats?

    • ANSWER:
      DO NOT let her jump on ANYTHING. haha. you can get ready by getting a blowup baby pool or blowup mattress and cover it with towels. You may put a heating pad but never leave it unattended and put it on low. Don't let her sleep on it either. If you wont be home that you should get someone that knows about this to come to your house. You could even bring her to an emergency clinic. That may stress her but at least her kittens will be safe.There is sometimes an extra kitten and not enough teats for them all. In that case you will need to be feeding him every 2-4 hours by bottle. Since you cannot do this i suggest that you check with your vet about what to do and how many kittens there will be. Most people can't do this by themselves so don't feel bad if you need some help. I have gone through many kitten births and i always need a little help! Hope i provided necessary input. =)

    • ANSWER:
      Any high qullity canned diet would be great!

      Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. It's completely species inappropriate.

      All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they don't need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol' house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats.

      So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it’s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl.

      Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), bladder stones, kidney stones, urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions.

      Overall, wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs… not our cats.

      I recommend varying the diet with a constant rotation of accepted canned foods that your cat enjoys. If you do this, and allow your cat the same assortment they would have in nature when eating mice, bugs, birds and rabbits, your cats’ digestive system won't be so sensitive and you won't have to run around looking for a specific brand when your store is out. You will have a nice variety to choose from instead.

      Canned foods I recommend for your rotation:

    Junk Food Whilst Pregnant......? Help!?
    Hey
    Im just over 11 weeks pregnant and I feel so bad! atm my belly wont let me eat healthy food - the thought of eating a healthy rolls make me feel sick! Only things I want to eat and my tummy will let me eat are chrisps and takeaways specially McDonlalds! I know its bad but I just dont want anything else - I always like this food but have never always wanted it this much!!!
    Is this realy bad, I dont drink or smoke but still..... By the way im not like an anomous person im like 9 stone but i have got a little belly already!

    Will I harm the baby eating like this?
    I do try to eat a little fruit!
    Sorry to go on!
    Thanks
    xxx

    • ANSWER:
      what i'd suggest is that you take a pregnancy multivitamin, like pregnancare or something similar while this stage is happening. once you hit about the 12 week mark you should be open to more foods as your body/hormones start to settle down,

      do try when you can as your tastes can change again.

  25. QUESTION:
    Food poisoning? Pregnant? etc?
    I'm 17 years old. I have a boyfriend who I've been sexually active with for a few months now. Yes, we use a condom, but I'm not on birth control.

    Last night my family and I went to a restaurant to eat. We all got burgers. For the rest of the night, my sister and mother weren't feeling right. Around 4 AM I woke up to a very sick feeling as if I was about to throw up. I had this feeling all day but my sister and mothers nausea faded. I assume we got food poisoning.

    Basically I just feel like I'm going to puke. No other symptoms really.

    I'm not sure if maybe I'm pregnant and their sickness with mine was a coincidence, or I really have the same thing they got.

  26. QUESTION:
    Pregnant ferret help?
    I got another ferret today and she is pregnant. We haven't had a pregnant ferret before so I thought I could do with some more tips.
    Her belly isn't too big but I heard that their belly's are quite small even when they are pregnant. I don't know if this is true or not.

    How long are they pregnant for?
    Do they have to have any specific type of food whilst pregnant?
    What is the average amount of kits she will have?
    Any additional advice would be great thanks!

    Serious answers only please folks!
    Thank you (:

    • ANSWER:
      Gestation period for a ferret is about 60 days and sometimes its difficult to tell because they may still look thin or they may develop a 'podgy belly'.

      They can have between 1 and 10 kits but if its a first pregnancy 2-4 would be normal.

      Make sure she's got fresh water daily and feed as normal. Remember they need a higher protein diet then cats so use a good quality dried 'ferret food'. A bit of fresh rabbit goes down well but only give small portions as she may start to hoard surplus meat and it will go off rapidly this time of year.

      Be very gentle when you handle her and she may nip if she's feeling rough.

      Ferrets are usually good mothers and mine have always ben quite happy to let me handle the kits at a very early stage although she may get upset if you hold them for too long. She will take them from your hand and put them back in the nest when she wants them back.

  27. QUESTION:
    Trying to get pregnant , any type of foods or vitamins that can be helpful ?
    Well I am 35 yrs old and I was told by a friend that eating oysters and taking folic acid helps . Well if it is true how many times and if not what can help me . Thanks so much I feel I am getting to old to have kids also my husband is 6 yrs younger than me so I thought him being younger we have a better chance to get pregnant , thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      Being at a good weight will help if you are not there already. Check your BMI.

      Also you are right about the folate (b9), zinc can help too, but oysters are a great source of zinc, so maybe that is where the link with oysters comes from.

  28. QUESTION:
    im 18 and my mom has food stamps,im pregnant..can i get my own or can she get more on hers?
    no,im not mooching off the government,just need a little help getting on my feet.im 8 weeks pregnant today..if i turn it to her case worker,will she get more benefits for me or do i have to get my own?

    • ANSWER:
      If you are still living with her, you should already be included in the amount she gets each month. A child up to age 23 living with their parents must use their parents income when applying. If you do live with her you would have to be on hers, not your own. If you are living on your own, you should be able to qualify depending on your income. The best way to find out is to call and ask, or have her call.

      FYI--> Regarding food stamps, the baby is not considered an additional member of the household until after he/she is born. You may also want to look into getting WIC, they do consider the pregnancy an additional member of the household.

  29. QUESTION:
    my first time having sex ..!?
    hey yesterday sunday i hafor the first time with my boyfriend & we git caught up in the moment and he siad he buy me the morning after pill but its to far away in dublin & costs a lot is there any other way to make sur i DONT get pregnant foods? exercise ? idk please help ive told him ill never do it again with out a condom, :(
    im not under aged my key board is just fcked anyway im 17 been with him 7 months & just want to know cuz my peiod not due until the 22 & thats too long to wait doing nothing
    I CANT GET THE PILL because m under 18 tey wont give i to me & im not from irland therefore dont have a doctor that can prescribe it & my father is beyond broke so i have no money & my boyfriend iin wales for the week :/

    • ANSWER:
      There is no other way to stop your pregnancy.
      You could of course have an abortion at a later date if you find out you are pregnant, but this would be extremely stressful for you & some consider it to be murder.
      Making the effort to get the morning after pill would be much easier than being stuck with a baby in 9 months time. Do the responsible thing, many people have conceived during their first time,

  30. QUESTION:
    Trying to get pregnant soon, what are good foods to eat to help prepare my body?
    This will be my first child, my husband and I will be trying to conceive in a few months. So what should I start eating to prepare my body and make a healthy place inside for my baby to grow? When is a good time to start pre-natal vitamins?

    • ANSWER:
      Be sure to start by taking pre-natal vitamins now while you are trying to conceive and stay on them during your pregnancy.

      Fertility foods for women:
      Tea - Green tea and orange pekoe tea are both excellent fertility enhancers. Tea contains a high level of antioxidants which aid in healthy immune systems. Research has shown that women who regularly drink tea increase their chance of conception.

      Foods rich in vitamin C - Fruits, especially citrus, help enhance fertility, especially in men. Vitamin C plays a role in boosting the immune system, and thus helps to aid in a healthy conception.

      Foods high in calcium - Calcium contributes to strong bones, and is especially important for pregnant women to consume.

      Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid - Leafy green vegetables, nuts and whole grains contain high levels of these nutrients. Vitamin B6 is a reproductive hormone regulator and folic acid helps to prevent certain neuro-tube defects in the fetus.

      Water - probably the most important thing to consume. Get in the good habit of drinking at least eight cups of water a day.

      **************************************...
      Your partner should wear boxers, no hot baths or hot tubs and lose weight if he is heavy. My DH saw an increase when he cut out the junk food, switched to a healthy diet and lost about 30 lbs.

      Conceive Magazine ran an article on "Fertility Foods for Guys"- maybe it will help (and it definitely won't hurt).

      1) Brightly colored fruits and veggies - rich in antioxidants
      2) Oranges & citrus fruits - Vitamin C reduces risk of damaged sperm
      3) Watermelon - good source of lycopene
      4) Pumpkin seeds and baked beans - rich in zinc
      5) Lean meat and poultry - rich in L-carnitine for sperm movement / motility

      They also said to avoid soy which may lead to poor sperm quality and alcohol which can lower testosterone.

      Caffeine can go either way - three or more drinks a day may hamper fertility but other studes show that caffeine "may" help with a low sperm count

      Good luck!

    any advice on how to get pregnant?
    My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant and still have not. it was such a shock to us to start having issues getting pregnant because in 2008 i got pregnant on birth control without missing a pill. i stopped taking the pill in february, but my cycles are still screwed up. besides using ovulation tests is there any positions that help getting pregnant? any foods? anything to boost fertility or anything? my cycles have been irregular so its hard for me to figure out when i am ovulating. one of my friends said to try counting 14 days after your period and that is the most likely day you would be ovulating. is this true?

    8 months pregnant no food skipping meals?
    I live in a domestic violence shelter and only get .00 dollars a week for groceries from the shelter and am waiting on food stamps for almost a month now. I'm allergic to soy and wheat and most prepared foods that the charities give me, what can I do? I have no family or friends that can help.
    I'm allergic to rice and dairy. My only diet needs to be some types of fish, oats, some non tropical fruits and vegetables.
    I get WIC and they only give me .00 a month for fruits and vegetables.

    Should I just eat the foods I'm allergic to even though they make me sick or keep losing weight?

    • ANSWER:
      for the food stamps it takes about a month for the paper work to go through so just hang in there and i am sure you will get it with in the next few weeks as for getting food that you can eat with out making you sick um i have no idea because being pregnant you need the dairy and everything else because your baby is taking it all from you i know that there are oat bars that you can get and if you can eat peanut butter and jam then i would get that other then that i am not sure on what you can have because alot of stuff has something in it that may make you sick what i would do is talk to you doctor and see what they may do or tell you on what you can have i wish i could help you out more but i have never had a ? like this asked or i havent been in something like this my self

    will not eating certain foods while i am pregnant make my baby not like them once she is born?
    i do not eat as healthy as i should, i know i am supposed to be eating supper healthy foods so that my baby can be healthy but bottom line, i do not like a lot of foods, i have tried changing that and i have tried to get foods down just so that my baby can be healthy, but i cant swallow them, i through up.... and the sad thing is that its a lot of fruit and veggies that i do not like. i talked to my doc and she gave me some tips on other foods i DO like to eat... she told me what has what vitamins in it so that my baby still gets that nutrients she needs... but here is my worry, will my baby not like the same foods once she starts eating because i didn't like them and didn't eat them while she was inside of me??? please help i do not want my baby to be a picky eater because everyone always laughs at me and i wish i had a wider variety! but i just done and i do not want my baby so be the same....

    • ANSWER:
      Haha. I asked this same question and also asked if the baby could end up being allergic to anthing i ate while pregnant or breast feeding. And they have done few studies on it but the ones they have done have shown no conclusive data to whether or not it can affect your babe later on. So really, it doesnt matter. I'd say later on after its born you should think about making sure it does eat those vegetables and fruits that you dont eat. The way you eat can affect the way your child eats when it starts eating whole foods. :)

  38. QUESTION:
    What help can I give a pregnant barn cat?
    Hello,

    There is a pregnant cat at my stable, and I am concerned about her health.

    First off, she seems extremely young to me, she is smaller than my 8 mo old kitten at home. I know cats can very in size, but would it be detrimental to her to be pregnant this young?

    Second, she does this weird thing with her tail where she kind of twitches it every few seconds. I am wondering if this could be a symptom of a dangerous underlying condition.

    Third, a lot of the cats on the property bully her, and recently she has had some trouble getting food. I have been trying to make sure she gets plenty when I am there (probably every other day), but am very concerned this will be an issue as she gets more pregnant, and especially once she delivers.

    Fourth, as she is now a stray (she is very friendly, follows us, begs for pets, and jumps in our laps when we sit, so we are assuming someone dumped her there), I am worried about her vaccinations, de-worming, fleas and ticks, etc.

    I am trying to figure out what I can do to help her, and honestly am considering taking her into my home until she delivers. I have two other cats at home, but have a finished basement she can be contained in. I would need to FIV test her before I bring her into my home, and worry about her other vaccinations. Is it even possible and or safe to vaccinate a pregnant animal? What about ticks, fleas, etc.? How much is an FIV test? I would be happy to find the mother and kittens homes when she has delivered, but is there anyway I can do that through the SPCA so that they can be spayed/neutered and vaccinated without me having to incur the total cost? What should I even expect when she gives birth, what do I need to provide for her and the kittens, etc.

    I am sorry I have many questions, but am trying to figure this all out.

  39. QUESTION:
    queezy on day 22 of cycle? Pregnant or food poisoning?
    Wednesday evening I ate chips from a local mexican restaurant. My husband did to, I was on day 18 of my cycle. Thursday morning at 4am I woke up and was nausiated. I began vomiting. I vomited 4 times in a row. I had an elevated temp. all day Thursday of 99.6 (prior was only 97.9-98.4). My husband instantly said 'you're pregnant'. I said 'probably bad food' but he had more chips than I had and he never got sick. I attributed it to them just not agreeing with my body.

    Friday I felt queezy, but no temp. Today, Saturday, I felt queezy too. I dont know if its side affects from bad food or, Im pregnant.

    I am now on day 22 of my cycle. I use a clear blue easy digital ovulation monitor. I never got the egg symbol this month, only high peak from day 14-present and counting. I dont have 'a baby bump' or any other indicators that I could be pregnant. I tell co-workers I couldnt imagine puking so early in pregnancy, but some are telling me they started puking 2 days after conception forward so now Im second guessing myself.

    I went yesterday, day 21, and had bloodwork to see if I ovulated or not. I dont want to get my hopes up. I could be pregnant since my husband and I have been TTC for 3 mos. now and we did have intercourse every day, once a day since day 12 of my cycle (two days before I began getting high peak).

    So I guess my question is... any one else had this early of 'morning' sickness? Or, any one experienced food 'poisoning' and had 2+ days afterward of being nausiated?

    Previous pregnancies I just knew I was pregnant and had multiple symptoms. This time Im on the fence and dont know one way or another. Never had food issues before but most months I get egg symbols so I know whether I ovulate or not.

    From what I've read, food poisoning causes loose bowels, which hasnt been my case. So, any help (other than just wait and find out) is appreciated. Thanks!

    Foods not to eat while pregnant?
    I thought I was being good at not eating dangerous foods, but I just read another question like this and got worried.

    I know not to eat lunch meat, bologna, unpasteurized cheese, certain fish, undercooked eggs or meat, hotdogs, etc.

    I have, though, ate some cooked chicken livers, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni pizza.

    Someone listed these as very harmful in an answer.

    Please help.

    • ANSWER:
      How are those "very harmful?" If they were, in fact, "very harmful" then it would be common knowledge, as they would cause birth defects and things. People exaggerate like crazy.
      I've had two children and was never warned about the dangers of chicken livers, Parmesan cheese, or pepperoni pizza. Healthy kids...
      As long as you limit the less nutritional foods and the same foods you would limit if you were not pregnant, such as mercury-containing fish, junk food, undercooked eggs and meat, etc., and up your intake of nutritious foods, you. will. be. okay.

    what is the particular time I can have sex in-other to get pregnant. Also what food will help to achieve it?
    I am 38yrs going 39yrs wanted to get pregnant. Please help

    • ANSWER:
      14 days before your next period is due is the suggested optimum time. If you have sex a couple of days before this and for a couple of days after, you should have caught the ovulation time. The other thing that is said to influence the sex of the baby is that female sperm last longer and male sperm swim faster, so if you want a girl, have sex before the egg is released so when it comes, the male sperm will have died, and if you want a boy, leave it until time of ovulation as they will get there first. I don't know if this works, but I have 2 girls and working out on this assumption, I had sex early. No idea about food though. Good luck.

Food To Avoid During Pregnancy

5 Foods to Avoid During Pregnancy
Eating during your pregnancy involves a little common sense, a basic understanding of good nutrition, and an awareness of which foods to avoid during pregnancy.

During certain times in your pregnancy you might experience nausea, indigestion, constipation and other problems. Those can be countered by a variety of natural foods or changes in your eating patterns.

There are however foods to avoid during pregnancy because they are potentially dangerous, or because they can add to your discomfort.

Which Fish You Should and Shouldn't Avoid During Pregnancy
On the one hand, wild caught fish such as salmon, sardines and albacore tuna provide excellent protein and heart healthy fats. They also help develop the nervous system and brain of the baby. On the other hand, fish such as shark, king mackerel and ahi tuna contain a lot of mercury and should be avoided during pregnancy.

Your best bet is to stay on top of the list posted by the Seafood Watch Program. It is regularly updated. As long as you choose fish that are listed in the "safe" portion of the list you can enjoy fish throughout your pregnancy. Completely avoid those considered unsafe and minimize those in the middle. You can do both the planet and your baby a good deed this way.

Raw Produce Only
Although raw milk products are usually acceptable, you need to avoid them during pregnancy. Raw milk, meat and fish can all contain certain types of bacteria that can cause you to get very ill and some that can even cause miscarriage.

Even raw produce should be well washed, just to be sure. There will be plenty of time to introduce your little one to the joys of sushi, steak tartar and other such dishes when your pregnancy is over.

The list of foods to avoid during pregnancy also includes undercooked eggs, unpasteurized raw milk cheeses, and even that glass of fall cider, unfortunately.

Should You Eat Fried Foods when Pregnant?
While this isn't a danger, it surely can make for a very uncomfortable experience. Remember that as your baby grows there is little room in your stomach. Fried foods are notoriously hard to digest, and with the restricted environment, they are very likely to cause indigestion. Are they dangerous? No. Are they any fun? Usually, they are not!

Eating Liver while Pregnant
While it is always questionable to eat the filtration organ of another animal, pregnancy is definitely not the time to load up on liver. The high levels of vitamin A can actually lead to birth defects. If you didn't like liver before, this is the perfect excuse to eliminate it from your diet completely. Lean, grass-fed meats are a much better bet, and they pose no hazard.

How Much Caffeine can You Have when Pregnant?
While it is usually ok to enjoy one cup of organic, black coffee in the morning when you are focusing on good nutrition, it might be a good idea to give it up when you are pregnant.

Caffeine crosses the placenta affecting the baby's heart rate. Excessive caffeine consumption is cited as a cause for low birth weight and an increased incidence of miscarriage and still birth. Most doctors recommend you stay under 150mg a day--about the amount in one cup of coffee or two cups of black tea.

Eat Well and Feel Great
It should go without saying that skipping the candy aisle, stocking up on plenty of whole grains, organic produce, poultry and eggs, lean meats and raw nuts should be your goal. While it is always our goal to eat well, when pregnant, it is even more important, and not just for the baby.

Creating an entire human being takes a lot of work. Women who eat well, exercise moderately and maximize their good nutrition feel better through their pregnancies. While you should know which foods to avoid during pregnancy, it's even better to hone in on those foods that will help you feel great the whole 9 months long.

Foods To Eat To Get Pregnant

The best foods to eat to get pregnant- How a healthy diet will help you conceive
We all know the importance of eating right to maintain a healthy lifestyle. When you've made the decision to get pregnant, your diet becomes even more vital. Eating the right foods, and avoiding the wrong ones, can make the process of conception that much easier, and prepare your body for pregnancy. So what are the best foods to eat to get pregnant?

Fresh fruits and vegetables- Fresh fruits and veggies can help supply you with vital nutrients including folic acid, iron, and vitamin c. All of which are great for supporting good health and increasing fertility. Try to eat fruits and veggies raw, or steamed (but still crunchy) as these are the most nutritious options. Remember to give them a good scrubbing first, to remove any pesticides or harmful bacteria

Whole grains and lean meats- These are some of the best foods to eat to get pregnant because they promote a healthy diet. It is important to maintain a healthy weight prior to pregnancy, as being both underweight, and overweight can contribute to infertility. Lean meats, particularly when prepared grilled or broiled are important sources of iron and protein. Whole grain foods, such as high quality cereals, and breads contain healthy carbs and folic acid.

Fetal Heart Rate And Gender

Optimal Heart Rate for Cardio Workouts
Many bodybuilders do cardio only by the clock. They know they have to hop on the treadmill and knock out 30 or 45 minutes' worth of plugging away, and they're done. Some more educated bodybuilders will occasionally attempt to tailor their program, opting for custom incline/intensity levels or perhaps keeping an eye on calories burned. The most intelligent bodybuilders will take heart rate into consideration when completing their cardio, in order to garner the most effective results.

Bodybuilders should be training at their optimal heart rate, which is 50 to 60 percent of their maximum heart rate. There are several steps to calculating this number.

- First, find your maximum heart rate (MHR). This is easy. Subtract your age from the number 220. If you are 30 years old, then your maximum heart rate is 220 minus 30, or 190
- Next, multiply your MHR by .50, and write down this number. This is you're your optimal minimum.

- Next, multiply your MHR by .60, and write down this number. This number is your optimal maximum.

Now, as you complete your cardio, try to keep your heart rate between your optimal minimum and optimal maximum. It's that easy!

In bodybuilding, "the more the better!" axiom often rings true. The more weight you lift, the bigger your muscles become. The more food you eat, the bigger you get. The more sleep you get, the better rested you become. However, in the case of cardio training intensity, more is not necessarily better. Training at heart rates of 70% or more will lead to the body consuming muscle to keep up with such an intense workload, instead of utilizing carbohydrates in the body or fat stores.

Training at levels of 50 to 60 percent is perfect for bodybuilders. If you find that 30 minutes at 50-60% is not leading to desired loss of body fat, raise the duration to 45 minutes, or use a split session (one in the morning and one following your weight training). If this additional cardio training does not help, it's time to re-evaluate your current diet and supplementation program. Cut daily calories by 300-500, add ECA or Tridenosen, and you should be on your way to a leaner physique.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    is there a correlation between fetal heart rate and gender?
    at every prenatal appointment when they listen to the heart beat with the doppler the doctor jokingly says it sounds like a boy
    every doctor has told me this and
    im having my ultrasound tommorrow!
    i know it's considered an old wives tale but is there any truth to this?
    has anyone had experience with this that says otherwise?

    • ANSWER:
      It is just an old wives tale! The quicker heart beat is supposed to be girl, slower being a boy. My doctor swore that i was having a boy last time I was pregnant because the heart rate was 140 and lower EVERY time it was checked, but low and behold; I gave birth to a girl! And, I am 28 weeks pregnant with another girl and her heart beat has been under 150 every time.

  2. QUESTION:
    Do you believe in the fetal heart rate gender myth?
    To those who believe in the gender being able to be determined by the heart rate- I do not believe it one bit! lol! My babies heart rate was 160's-170's at every check up. Yesterday I went for the 20 week ultrasound and I felt like it was a boy, can't explain it, I just did. I did one of those Intelligender tests, it said boy. My pregnancy symptoms were much different then my previous pregnancy with my daughter. And wouldn't ya know it- I'm having a boy!! The heart rate at ultrasound was 154 and he was really active. So while I think it is fun to wonder about old wives tales, this one I don't believe a stitch! =) At least in my case!!

    So was it right for you? Wrong for you? Don't know yet? Just curious what everyone else thinks. And this was more of a way to form an update to my contacts and still ask a question!! =)
    Oh, and all the Chinese gender predictors online also said boy! And when I went back to when I had my daughter, they all said girl!! Very interesting, I think! And I'm not saying that means it is 100% right all the time and for everyone, just thought I would share MY experience!!

    • ANSWER:
      OMG OMG OMG!

      Woohooo!

      With my son, I knew he was a boy too. I had looked at the Chinese Gender Chart, and it said he was a boy, at my 18 week ultrasound, they saw a boy too.

      I am so happy for you!!!

  3. QUESTION:
    Is fetal heart rate an accurate determination of gender?
    My MIL swears I'm having another boy because the baby's heart rate is the same as my son's was (in the 140s and 150s). Is it true that a lower heart rate is indicative of a boy? I wonder, because my PG friends that are having girls have fetal heartrates in the 160s and up.

    • ANSWER:
      No. Heart rate will fluctuate. My kids' heartbeats were all over the place, and I have a boy and girl. Gender has no bearing on it.

  4. QUESTION:
    Fetal heart rate and gender?
    When I was 8 weeks pregnant with my son his heart rate was 189 bpm. I just had my first ultra-sound with my second pregnancy. I am 11 weeks pregnant and the heart rate was 169 bpm. I think that is a significant drop for a three week difference in the ultra-sounds with my first and second pregnancy. I know it is probably an old wives tale but my son's heart rate was fast, so I am wondering if this new baby may be a female because of the difference in the 2. Or is 169 bpm still pretty fast? Any advice?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      169 is fast, and the old wives tale says if its higher than 140 its a girl, lower than 140 its a boy so you have already proven that wrong :)
      My baby girls heartbeat is always around 135.
      My sister has 2 girls and with the first her heartbeat was 140 and the second it was usually around 170.
      Every pregnancy is different I wouldnt count on the drop in bpm to give you even a guess on the sex, its 50/50.

  5. QUESTION:
    Fetal heart rate predicts gender?
    I know...I know...it's mostly just a myth, but I wanted to go ahead and ask just for fun.

    Today at my prenatal check-up, my baby's heart rate was 152. I have 4 boys already and we were really hoping for a little girl...I've also had a gut feeling with this pregnancy that it will be a gilr...so we'll just have to wait and see.

    According to the old wives tale, anything over 140 is supposed to be a girl, while under 140 indicates a boy.

    I was wondering what your babies heart rates were and if they happened to be accurate when it came to predicting the sexes of your babies.
    I will be having the 'big' ultrasound to find out the sex...but that won't be until the end of the month...we are just having fun guessing for now and I was curious about other's personal experiences.

    • ANSWER:
      You are correct about the old wives tale. However, in my own experience the heart rates were reversed. I gave birth to a son and then a daughter. Sometimes, trusting our "gut feeling" is the best thing,unless you have an ultrasound that is clear and convincing, if you want to know the sex. However, if you do not want to know then just go with having a healthy baby.

      If it helps, my gut was correct both times. I didn't have any girl vs. boy names picked out on either of my pregnancies. I only had a boys name for my son and then a girl's name for my daughter consistently throughout my pregnancies.

      Best of luck. Be safe and take care.

  6. QUESTION:
    Is it true you can identify the Gender by the Fetal Heart Rate? 2 Questions in 1 :D ?
    Im just Curious, I know with my son his fhr was 170 but is a girls heart rate higher or lower? I know its just an old wives tale but it is kinda cool to compare.
    So what did you have? And what was the heart rate?
    Thanks Guys :)

    • ANSWER:
      The rate of the baby's heartbeat is a popular baby gender predictor. This is one of the myths about baby gender prediction that often provides to be true. If the baby's heart rate is faster than 140 beats per minute, then you are sure to have a girl. If the average heart rate is below 140 beats per minute, it is said to be a boy.

  7. QUESTION:
    what's that old wives tale concerning gender prediciton & fetal heart rate?
    i know it's bunk, but i wanted to know, just for fun!
    thanks!

    (btw, i'm 12w5d and the fetal heart rate was 150 yesterday)
    the chinese gender prediction chart says girl for me also!
    also, due to the timing of our baby dancing in relation to my ovulation, it's likely i'll be having a girl.

    (my husband & i are having a fun "argument" about whether it's a boy or a girl! so far, looks like i'm "winning" lol)
    oh, wait! that chart you gave me, Slimmer Kimmers said boy!
    uh oh! hubby's getting points!
    lol :)

    • ANSWER:
      The heartrate gender prediction myth says that if your baby's heartrate is under 140 beats per minute - you are having a boy. If it is over 140 beats per minute - you are having a girl.

      This belief is based on the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men and, therefore, have a slightly higher pulse rate.

  8. QUESTION:
    Predicting gender on fetal heart rate - anyone do this? How far along to you have to be?
    Just had my first (non-emergency) scan - im 11weeks and 2 days so estimated due date of 26/6/11 - was very cool, it was jumping around and kicking and stretching : ) anyways, the heart rate was 170bmp - the radiologist told me that was in the normal range for how far along i am, just wondering though cos im sure ive heard about a link between the heart rate and the sex of the baby? Its probably just an old wives tale, but interested to know if anyone else has used this method and has it worked?
    Fingers crossed it is! We already have a beautiful son and would like a girl (he is always telling us he wants a sister : ) Of course, as long as its healthy, then i dont mind. I actually can only think of nice boys names lol

    • ANSWER:
      If you go by this you are having a girl, anything over 140bpm is supposed to be a girl, not sure if it works or not :0)

  9. QUESTION:
    HEART RATE AND GENDER? 165 BPM AT 11 AND A HALF WEEKS, DOES THAT REALLY MEAN ANYTHING?
    At my last ultrasound, I was about 11 and a half weeks pregnant and the baby's heart rate was 165 BPM. I think the baby was sleeping because it wasn't moving around much at all, the ultrasound tech even had to push on my stomach to get the baby to move so she could get the measurement she needed. I think that this is in the fast range which is supposed to mean a girl but I really have a feeling I'm having a boy. I know that some studies show there is no connection between fetal heart rate and gender but I have heard that some doctors believe that there is a connection. Do you have any experience with this? What was your baby's heart rate at 11 or 12 weeks? Did you have a boy or girl?
    Thank you!!!

    • ANSWER:
      There is no relationship between heart rate and gender - that is an old wives' tale. I have 1 boy and 2 girls, and the heart rates of my son and my first daugher were similar throughout the entire pregnancies, while the heart rate of my second daughter was a bit slower.

  10. QUESTION:
    fetal heart rates and gender?
    Hi I know a lot of parents say this is all a myth but id like to see if this actually works for me :)
    Im pretty sure my sons heart rate was 125 bpm
    and Im pregnant again PRAYING for a daughter as this might be my last child is 152 bpm
    so if people don't mind I was wondering if you could tell me what your child's heart rate was at around 12 weeks pregnant even if you don't have 12 weeks anytime during your pregnancy's fine and what the sex of your child was please THANK YOU :)

    • ANSWER:
      My second and third pregnancy they were both under 140, but not by much around 138....both were boys, with my first though and my best friend's too (both were boys), they were in the 160's the entire pregnancy......its been proven that it is definitely just an old wives tale and the only time a girls heart beat is faster is sometimes during labor, but good luck I have three boys and am currently 11w4d with number four and crossing my fingers for a girl finally (but health is by far more important) too, so I wish you the best!!! :) CONGRATS!

      Edit: many studies have proven that you canNOT predict gender with this method, it used to be believed that you could, but they have found that its inaccurate....
      http://www.in-gender.com/Gender-Prediction/Fetal-Heart-Rate.aspx
      This is just one site out of a TON that say pretty much the same thing

  11. QUESTION:
    what was your baby's fetal heart rate?
    i have heard the wives tales both way of how different genders have specific heart rates. on my 20 week ultrasound i saw very clearly that i am having a boy but his heart rate was at 144 which my mom is absolutely convinced is a girls heart rate and thinks the ultrasound was wrong. if you could tell me the gender of your baby and what their fetal heart rate was that would be greatly appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      Its just a old wives tell that isn't true. Mine stayed anywere from 140-160 and I had a babygirl.

      - jeωeℓℓчssα's мαмα *;

  12. QUESTION:
    Did the gender prediction test work with your baby's heart rate?
    They say that the fetal heart rates over 140 are girls, and under 140 are boys. Did it work for you? Or was it wrong? What was the heart rate?

    • ANSWER:
      It's actually over 150 is girls and under 150 is boys. When I was 8 weeks my son's heartbeat was 168. It gradually slowed down and now ranges from 140-150. So it was right for me, but not in the beginning.

  13. QUESTION:
    does fetal heart rate?
    Okay, I know this is supposed to be a myth but how many of you have actually had a baby that corresponds with the fhr? My baby's fhr has been between 150-160 the whole pregnancy up til now it is 140bpm I am now 16.5 weeks pregnant and was wondering how much water the heart rate holds in gender prediction. I heard if its above 140 its a girl and below 140 is a boy....what about if it is exactly 140bpm? I get an US Nov 4th so we will know then but Im curious what your experiences have been with this. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      There are many " tales " about how to determine the sex of a baby without having had an Ultrasound. The baby's fetal heart rate is one of them. The fetal heart can vary, depending on movement of the baby. At this time in your pregnancy, the second trimester, you should be able to feel " flutter-like " sensations and movement. This will affect your baby's heart rate. At least, on Nov.4 th, hopefully you will find out the sex of your baby. Sometimes, when the baby's legs are closed, it can be difficult to determine the sex. Congrats on Your pregnancy !!
      I hope that this is helpful.

  14. QUESTION:
    Does Fetal Heartbeat Reveal Baby's Gender?
    At 6 weeks the heartbeat was 120 BPM now at 11 Weeks it is at 163 BPM. I only know my son's heartrate in utero when I was about 6 months....it was 155 BPM-which goes against the old wives tale (over 150 is a girl) . I'm happy either way but I am such a planner and am dying to know the sex!! What are your experiences with gender and fetal heart rate?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Back when I had my son, they told me it was a girl by the heartbeat. Congratulations on your new baby.

  15. QUESTION:
    fetal heartbeat and gender?
    just a fun question. My daughter had a 170s heart rate, she never moved and barely kicked to a point i got scared and now this baby is in low 50s and based on doctors moves all the time. this is my last baby due to medical reason and i really want a boy. so praying. what was your baby heart rate and gender?

    • ANSWER:

  16. QUESTION:
    Can you really tell the gender by the fetal heartbeat?
    I've heard many people tell me that 140 beats per mintute and under is a boy, and anything over 140 is a girl. My baby's heart rate is 160. Has anyone heard of this, or is it an old wive's tale?

    • ANSWER:
      I think it is true, my daughter had a fast heartbeat and the midwife knew she was a girl!

  17. QUESTION:
    For all you pregnant women out there: if you know your baby's gender...............?
    can you tell me what the fetal heart rate has been? My baby is 151 and I am 14 weeks pregnant. I would like for you to tell me what the heartrate is and what the gender is! Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Here's where the ol' wives tale gets busted. MOST babies heart rates in the beginning are in the higher range. 140 - 160. The theory is, if you are 151, its a girl. Its only a theory though. All 3 of my pregnancies were about the same (in the 150's) the first several months. It wasn't until about 6 months along that their heart rates started to be more specific to them. My first son, was usually around 150. My daughter, 120's. My current pregnancy varies between 120 and 140. Its a boy. So there's really not any truth to it. Its fun to try and use it to guess, but there's still pretty much a 50/50 chance that you're right/wrong. :) Best of luck

  18. QUESTION:

  19. QUESTION:
    Your baby's gender!!!!!!!?
    So this may not be a question, but I just want to tell!
    I am having an ultrasound at 21 weeks (next week) to see the sex of the baby! I am super excited, either way! I went to the ER last week and they did an ultrasound to check the baby, the tech. said she couldn't really tell boy or girl cause the cord was in the way, but she was thinking more boy. If the umbilical cord was in the way, im not sure how she knew. but anyways, I dont really care. I'm just excited to be having a baby! The fetal heart rate is 160BPM. and some websites say that's a probable girl! And I was very nauseous in the beginning. That's also a tale of girl! I thought girl from the start, but then she said maybe boy. now im so anxious! and I cant wait! I haven't felt my baby move yet. But every time i have an ultrasound or hear the heart beat the baby is always moving around. I hope I feel it soon! =)
    See no question really! But since this is a sight for questions, whats your story! Did you know before you found out!?

    • ANSWER:
      I convinced myself I was having a girl, so I cried when the tech told me it was a boy. I found out on my birthday so instead of shopping like I had planned, I went home and cried for three hours. Then I was like, what the hello is wrong with me... I'm having a baby. And I'm so very excited to be having a son :)

      Anyways. His heartbeat from the very beginning was high, always 155-165bpm. I had horrible morning sickness, so much so that I lost 18lbs. I had all the old wives tale symptoms of a girl! Lol. Good luck :)

  20. QUESTION:
    19 weeks pregnant,Below is the Anomaly Scan Report?
    I am 19 weeks pregnant,today went for Mid trimester anomaly Scan.The report shows posterior placenta wall upper segment,Grade 1 maturity,Fetal heart rate:157beats/min and Nasal bone :0.50Cm,NFT:0.37Cm.Is posterior placenta good?In india,they dont let us know the gender of the baby.

    • ANSWER:
      yes its normal

      "Whether your placenta is in an anterior or posterior position does not make any difference to your pregnancy - although sometimes when the placenta is on the anterior wall of the uterus (the front wall), it can muffle the sound of your baby's heartbeat when the midwife listens to it through an ear trumpet, also called a Pinard's stethoscope, or a Sonicaid."

    1. Heartrate "A heartrate of less than 140 beats per minute means that you're having a boy while a heartrate of over 140 beats per minute means that you're having a girl." Although this particular myth has been kicking around for decades, there's only one study on the books that supports it: a 1993 study at the University of Kentucky that concluded that the fetal heartbeat could be used to correctly predict the gender of 91% of male fetuses and 74% of female fetuses. Every other study conducted before or since has reached the exact opposite conclusion -- that the fetal heart-rate can't be used to predict the gender of your baby.
    2. The shape of your belly "If you're carrying your baby high, it's a girl. If you're carrying your baby low, it's a boy." If you've managed to get through nine months of pregnancy without having someone predict the gender of your baby based on the shape of your belly, count your blessings! Many people still lend credence to a rather sexist bit of English folk wisdom that states that boys are carried down low and out front because they need greater independence while girls are carried up high and across their mother's body because they need greater protection -- the origin of this particular gender prediction myth.
    3. Morning sickness "If you are experiencing severe morning sickness, you're having a girl." Theories such as this one have been tossed around for years, but a recent study added more fuel to the fire. Swedish researchers discovered that 56% of women hospitalized with severe morning sickness ended up giving birth to baby girls. Even if there is something to this study -- something that's led to more than a few heated arguments among obstetricians -- the findings aren't exactly definitive. At best, you can conclude that you may have a slightly higher-than-average chance of having a baby girl if you're feeling exceptionally crummy. It's up to you whether you want to paint the nursery pink on that basis!
    4. The baby is active "If the baby is very active, you're having a boy." Here's yet another theory based on some rather sexist assumptions: males are boisterous while females are placid. What this theory fails to take into account, however, is the fact that the amount of fetal activity that the mother feels is largely a matter of perception. If she's running around at breakneck speed all day, she may fail to pick up on the movements of all but the most energetic of fetal kickboxers!
    5. Cravings "If you're craving sweets, you're having a girl. If you're craving salt, you're having a boy." While it would be convenient if you could rely on your craving for chocolate as proof positive that there's a baby girl on the way, there's no hard evidence that cravings are linked to the gender of your baby. In fact, the jury's still out on whether cravings exist at all! So don't count on your cravings -- real or imagined -- to tell you whether to buy pink or blue.
    6. Pendulum or circle swing "If a wedding ring or needle suspended over your belly moves in a strong circular motion, you're having a girl. If it moves to and fro like a pendulum, you're having a boy." This particular method of predicting the gender of your baby works much like a ouija board. Micro-muscle tremors over which you have no control cause the ring to move in a particular direction -- a sensation that can be spooky to say the least, but that doesn't tell you a thing about the gender of your baby.
    7. The Chinese conception chart "The Chinese conception chart can tell you if you're having a boy or a girl." The Chinese conception chart -- the brainchild of a 13th century scientist -- claims to be able to help you to predict the gender of the baby by linking your age and the month of conception to the gender of the baby. While it has a reputation for being highly accurate in China, it simply hasn't been able to stand up to the same scrutiny here in North America.

    • ANSWER:
      It's all nonsense - if you want to know the sex of your baby beforehand, just have a scan. I have a beautiful baby boy, I craved chocolate, my baby hardly ever moved, and I had sickness for the first four months of pregnancy - and about the shape - well, I've seen women with all varying shapes, and there hasn't seemed to be any pattern with regards to sex. It's all tales!

  22. QUESTION:
    What should I know about my baby at 34 weeks pregnant?
    I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I have a doctors appointment next Thursday where I'll then be 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant... So far I basically know nothing about our baby except he is growing well and according to schedule or whatever. My doctor doesn't tell me anything unless I ask, like she doesn't say oh your baby is in this position or your baby weighs around this much... I asked her once if the baby was head down yet and she said no not yet, in a few weeks, and another time I asked what the fetal heart rate was (before I knew the gender) and she said she couldn't tell yet, and then never told me when she was able to... I mean I know she is busy and deals with lots of pregnant people but I don't feel I should have to ask EVERYTHING shouldn't she tell me some things? Espically when this is my first pregnancy and all I am not even sure what to ask.. What sort of things should I KNOW about the baby at 34 weeks? And when should we go over my birth plan? I don't really have one, all I know is that I want an epidural but I'm not sure when she asks me about what I want, or even if she will. It's frustrating when I go to appointments and she just checks my blood pressure and feels the baby/listens to the heartbeat and away I go... I am going to ask her some things next week so if you could give me a list of what I should know/ask that would be awesome!! Thanks =)
    I know the "common" things of a baby at 34 weeks I go on babycenter.ca every new week and read up on the babys development but I mean I want to know specifics for our baby!

    • ANSWER:
      Your doctor sounds like mine. I swear he couldn't pick me out in a line up if he had to. Just make sure you get the questions out that you need to know. Have you attended any birth classes cause that helps a lot. I would say by now she should know the position of the baby but without an ultrasound it would be hard to know how much the baby weighs. Find out if your doctor will actually deliver you otherwise you would discuss it with the hospital staff when actually go into labor. At 36 weeks she'll probably be able to tell you more regarding whether you have dilated at all. Good luck and hang in there.

  23. QUESTION:
    what am i gonna have, boy or girl?
    I am 23weeks pregnant and had a anomaly scan and it showed fetal heart rate as 136BPM, so what does this suggest is it going to be a girl or boy?? I have two girls before...............and when i asked abt the gender of the baby the doc didnt give me any confirmed answer he said maybe its a girl but i am not sure....so what do u say?? but i am hoping to have a boy :)

    • ANSWER:
      Although there is no concrete scientific evidence to support the notion that heart beat is connected to gender, it had long been beleived that higher fetal heartbeats (over 150) indicate a girl and lower heartbeats (such as yours at 136) would indicate a boy. So if you believe their is a connection then CONGRATS ON THE BABY BOY

  24. QUESTION:
    We did this with our family.Now its your turn.What do you think we are having?
    Now I will tell you know this is just for fun!
    We did this to my family and it was cool to hear all their opinions
    Basically I am going to give you all the info I know and all the symptoms I had and maybe you all (mothers and or expecting mothers) could tell me your opinions

    So what do you all think
    Remember this is just for fun,when we find out the sex our our little angel it will be the best day of our lives.

    • ANSWER:
      girl

  25. QUESTION:
    Gender vs. heartbeat...I want your story!!!?
    Hey girls, I just had an early ultrasound (7 weeks) and got a fetal heartbeat of 142bpm. Of course the old wives' tale goes that the higher the beat the more likelihood of having a girl and the lower a boy. Can you guys provide me with your baby's heart rate, what week you were at the time of the heart rate and the sex of your baby? I would love to hear it!! Thanks!
    I KNOW that the heartbeat isn't an accurate way to determine gender, this is my fourth pregnancy, I just want others' experiences to take a little survey. : )

    • ANSWER:
      My eldest was about 138 -- GIRL
      My second was about 145 -- GIRL
      My third was 119 -- BOY
      My fourth was 130 -- GIRL

      I`m expecting my fifth now and we`re not sure whether it`s a boy or girl, but at my last ultrasound, the heartrate was between 125 and 130. Kind of hoping for a boy (because we would feel bad if our son had to grow up with four sisters!) but a girl would be nice, too. Due date: April 22, 2010.

      Good luck!!!

  26. QUESTION:
    How can it be legal to have an abortion when killing a baby is illegal?
    When a sperm cell meets and penetrates an egg, it will fertilize it. At this moment, the genetic make-up is complete, including the sex of the infant. Within about three days after conception, the fertilized egg, which is dividing rapidly into many cells, passes through the fallopian tube into the uterus where it attaches to the uterine wall. The placenta, which will nourish the baby, also begins to form. At 4 wks of development the structures that eventually form the face and neck are becoming evident. The heart and blood vessels continue to develop. And the lungs, stomach, and liver start to develop. A home pregnancy test is now positive. At 8 wks the baby is now about the size of a grape – almost an inch in size. Eyelids and ears are forming and even the tip of the nose is visible. The arms and legs are well formed. The fingers and toes grow longer and more distinct. At 12 wks the fetus measures about two and a half inches and starts to make its own movements. You will start to see the top of the uterus above the pelvic bone. Your doctor may hear the baby's heartbeat with special instruments. The sex organs of the baby should start to become clear. At 16 wks the fetus now measures about 4.3 to 4.6 inches and weighs about 2.8 ounces. The top of your uterus should be felt about three inches below your belly button. The baby's eyes can blink and the heart and blood vessels are fully formed. The baby's fingers and toes should have fingerprints. At 20 wks the baby weighs about 9 ounces and is about six inches long. The uterus should be at the level of the belly button. The baby can suck a thumb, yawn, stretch, and make faces. Soon -- if you haven't already -- you'll feel your baby move, which is called "quickening." At 20 wks an ultrasound is generally performed for all pregnant women at 20 weeks of gestation. During this ultrasound, the doctor will confirm that the placenta is healthy and attached normally and that your baby is growing properly in the uterus. The baby's heartbeat and movement of its body, arms, and legs can also be seen on the ultrasound. The gender of the baby can usually be determined. At 24 wks the fetus weighs about 1.4 pounds now. It responds to sounds by moving or increasing its pulse. You may notice jerking motions if it hiccups. With the inner ear fully developed, it may be able to sense being upside down in the womb. At 28 wks the fetus weighs about 2 pounds 6 ounces. It changes position frequently at this point in pregnancy. There's a good chance of survival if your baby was born prematurely now. Ask your doctor about preterm labor warning signs. Register for birthing classes. Birthing classes prepare you for many aspects of childbirth, including labor and delivery and parenting the newborn. At 32 wks the fetus weighs almost 4 pounds. The baby's skin has less wrinkles as a layer of fat starts to form under the skin. It will gain up to half its birth weight between now and delivery. Ask your doctor how to do a fetal movement chart. Think about breastfeeding. Soon you may start leaking colostrum from your breasts, a yellowish fluid that precedes milk production. At 36 wks babies differ in size, depending on many factors (such as gender, the number of babies being carried, and size of the parents), so your baby's overall rate of growth is as important as the actual size. On average, it's about 12.5 inches and weighs 5.5 pounds. The brain has been developing rapidly. Lungs are nearly fully developed. The head is usually positioned down into the pelvis by now. A pregnancy is considered 'at term' once 37 weeks has been completed; baby is ready!

    • ANSWER:
      I noticed a lot of people wrote that abortion is legal because the child is not breathing on it's own and is inside the mother.. So here's MY question. Why is it illegal after the second trimester? Child still isn't breathing on it's own, so that's the most ill-informed answer.

      I personally don't believe in abortion, I feel that a child is a blessing no matter what the case, and in these days you can get so much assistance that there isn't much of an argument for 'ruining' your life. (I also don't see how a child could ruin your life)

      I wanted an abortion when I was 17 but lucky me, my parents wouldn't let me which is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. People don't know what they are missing out on.

      ALSO, to the person who was promotion abortion and wrote 'live and let live' on the bottom of their post.. No offense, but how ironic.

  27. QUESTION:
    what was your baby's fetal heart rate?
    i have heard the wives tales both way of how different genders have specific heart rates. on my 20 week ultrasound i saw very clearly that i am having a boy but his heart rate was at 144 which my mom is absolutely convinced is a girls heart rate and thinks the ultrasound was wrong. if you could tell me the gender of your baby and what their fetal heart rate was that would be greatly appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      They say 140 and up is a girl and 140 and below is a boy.
      NOT TRUE!!!

      I am havign a boy (VERY CLEAR!) and his heartbeat is ALWAYS in th 160's.

      It is a WIVES TALE! None of them are true.

Find Gender Of Baby

5 Steps to Detect Yours Babys Gender - Baby Gender Quiz
Are you pregnant and still wondering whether to paint your infant's nursery in pink or blue? This is a common confusion faced by most expecting moms which seem hard to get resolved until the baby is born. But believe it or not, apart from ultrasounds and medical tests there are ways to find out your baby's sex before he/she is born through natural and fun ways. Take the baby gender quiz to determine the sex of your baby hiding inside your belly and get down to a more precise booty shopping for the little one before he/she arrives. Although not 100% accurate, in most cases they have been seen to come up with astonishingly accurate results.
The old wives tale offers a fun quiz for the parents to determine whether the baby-in-waiting is a boy or a girl. Some questions of the baby gender quiz are as follows- Q- Is your pregnant belly positioned high or low?
If the answer to this question is high, then you have fair chances of giving birth to a girl. In case your belly lies low, a boy might be the one waiting to pop out.
Q-What kind of food do you crave for sweet or salty?
If you have developed a liking for sweet foods, then you might be carrying a baby girl and if your taste has shifted to salty foods, in all likelihood the scales are heavier towards a boy child.
Q- What is the heartbeat rate of your baby?
It is more likely to be a girl child, if the rate is over 140 bpm and a boy if the rate lies below 140.
Q- What is the shape of your leg during the pregnancy term?
If your legs gain weight then it's a boy and if they stay in shape, it's a girl.
Q What is the profile of your face during pregnancy?
The old wives tale have it that if you have a well rounded and full face, most likely you are carrying a girl. However, if your face has become leaner, there might be a boy inside.
The baby gender quiz, although not fully accurate, can give you a fair idea of the sex of the baby-in- the- making. If you have taken the quiz and have been able to conceptualize the gender to some extent, then go ahead and start painting the nursery for your yet to arrive bundle of joy in pink or blue- whichever you think fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    how to find baby gender in 2months?
    actually one of my friend she knew that she had a boy baby when she was 2months pregnant. how is it possible with ultrasound scan? can this find out for everyone?

    • ANSWER:
      You cannot accurately find out the gender till after 20 weeks sweetie...sorry :(

  2. QUESTION:
    How to find gender of baby in mother womb?
    Tell me simplest way to find

    • ANSWER:
      Everyone says ultrasound. But you can also do amniocentesis. The extract some of the amniotic fluid and test it. They did this before ultrasound was available. You can tell earlier, I think. Ultrasound is a lot more pleasant, probably safer too.

      Or you could do what my parents did. Just wait. 8^)

      Best of luck!

  3. QUESTION:
    How to find gender of the baby from sonography snaps taken at 3rd month of pregnancy?
    I am 7 months pregnant now and have the sonography report taken at 3rd and 6th month respectively, however I am not able to find out whether my baby is a girl or a boy? Can anyone help please..

    • ANSWER:
      You mean they would not tell you? Do you have the pictures then? If so, you can compare them to other gender shots from websites like http://pregnancy.about.com/od/pregnancyphotos/a/galleryguide.htm and click the 'its a boy!' or 'its a girl!' links. There are thousands of ultrasound pictures of both genders at almost every determinable gestational age.
      Typically a female will have three small, horizontal lines while the male will have more obvious parts.

  4. QUESTION:
    DID YOU FIND OUT BABY GENDER AT 18 WEEKS?
    With regular ultrasound NOT 3'd/
    I am going in just under 3 weeks. (at 18 weeks) ,To try and see if we can see what the gender of our little one is going to be :D , was just wondering , who found out at this time?

    • ANSWER:
      yup sure can! I found out with my son at 15 weeks, confirmed at 18 weeks. This time around I was told girl with a 2d and 3d ultrasound at 16 weeks exactly, confirmed at 18 weeks and again at 21 weeks.

  5. QUESTION:
    Did you choose not to find out baby's gender until delivery day?
    if so, do you wish you had done it differently and had found out the gender at four months? I'm planning on waiting because of the surprise factor, but when I think of how convinient it would be to know the gender when it comes to room decor, baby clothes items etc, it's pretty tempting to change my mind,,,,keep in mind this will be my first and only child (my husband and I have decided to have just one) so it's tough to decide......any advice or personal experience?

    • ANSWER:
      I am due in five days, and don't know the baby's gender. I wouldn't do it differently. I don't think they'll be anything better than meeting the baby once it's born.

      I think that very few people have patience in today's world, and I'm proud of the fact that my husband and I have!

      For us, we plan on having two, so this way we have all of the gender neutral supplies for whatever our next baby is, too. Plus, I was told that a lot of people will come to meet the baby after it's born, and bring a gender specific gift, so that way you get even more (which is just a bonus, not really a reason to not find out).

      Obviously my opinion is to wait, but I completely understand wanting to know for planning reasons. I guess it depends on how much pink or blue you want around. If you want a super-girly girl that wears only pink, or boy with blue, then find out the gender.

      Congrats and have fun with whatever you choose!

  6. QUESTION:
    When should I feel baby and find out gender?
    OK so I got my BFP that I have been hoping for. I am only 6 weeks pregnant and I know that it is way too early for either one of these things, but I was wondering when I should start feeling the baby kick? Also about how far along do you have to be to find out the gender.

    I have a 6 year old daughter now and we have been TTC #2 for 4 years. It finally happened and now I am drawing a blank. We are just so excited. Thanks guys :)

  9. QUESTION:
    Is It Better To Wait To Find Out The Gender Of Your Baby, Or Find Out As Soon As You Can?
    Did You Wait to find out?

    • ANSWER:
      What a wonderful surprise it would be to wait until delivery day. My husband and I, however, have no patience, so we chose to find out the sex AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We were able to put gender specific items on our registry (i.e.- the wee wee cup) for our baby boy. As soon as we have our second trimester ultrasound, for this pregnancy, if we are able to, we will definitely find out the sex of our baby.

  10. QUESTION:
    What to do when you & spouse disagree on whether to find out baby's gender?
    My husband & I originally decided not to find out what kind of baby we're having. His mother asked and we told her this. Now she started pushing my husband to find out because "she wants to know what color blanket to make." So he's now changing his mind. I'm so irritated! I can't stand MIL she's so damn pushy! He wants us to find out now. What would you do?
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't want to find out, then don't. It's got nothing to do with anyone else. Why can't your MIL make a neutral coloured blanket?

  11. QUESTION:
    When did you find out your baby's gender?
    I have an appt Sept 29 and I will be just turning 16 weeks. Tomorrow is my last day for 12. I want to know if I might be able to find out the gender on the 29th instead of having to wait another month after. I am too impatient. When did you find out your baby's gender?

    • ANSWER:
      They can tell you as early as 15 or 16 weeks. Although, the chances of them being right is slim that early. I say wait until 20 (when the babies genitals have a little more time to form). That way, you aren't told one thing and get a little surprise at the end! :-) Good luck!

  12. QUESTION:
    can i find out the baby gender at 17weeks?
    i want to know the gender of the baby at 17 weeks my husband is deployed and he keeps asking when we going to find out i dont care if its a boy or a girl i just want to know so i can start buying either boy or girl stuff to keep me busy but the ultrasound place wants me to be 18+ weeks but im going to say im 18 weeks when im 17 weeks do you think they will know since its only genderdetermination ultrasound ? and can they find what the gender is?

    • ANSWER:
      If the baby is at a good angle the gender is determinable at 17 weeks.

  13. QUESTION:
    Is there another way to find baby's gender without ultrasound?
    I'm 29 weeks and would like to know my baby's gender so I know what baby clothes to start buying.
    I had 2 ultrasounds already, one at 16 wk and that technician guy said there was a 70% of it being a girl due to the 2 lines. Then another one but they couldn't see it's area there because of it's position, but he said there was nothing poking out so it's most likely a girl. I don't want to start buying a whackload of baby girl clothes and find out that the baby is boy (Heard stories of it happening). So any other ways that's worked for anyone? I read about the old wives tale already.
    oops..forgot to include that my other ultrasound was at 19 wks.

    • ANSWER:
      The only other way is to wait until their born!

  14. QUESTION:
    Parents who waited to find out the gender of their baby?
    Me and my husband is expecting our first baby very soon. We decide to not know the gender since he or she will be our first baby. I wanted to no from parents who have also waited to find our the baby gender till the birth, was it worth waiting? How rewarding was it? I was doing fine without knowing but this last month has seem to be the hardest, im very excited. Any people have stories?
    jib: yeah i think im going to have a little boy from the way im caring but we will see

    • ANSWER:
      definitely worth the wait, especially for the first. thats the way it should be. we are so limited on true surprises so why not make this one a surprise!?

      we waited to find out with the first and found out with the second. both girls, btw.

      its so amazing not knowing when u r pushing the baby out. u have a goal to reach - not only to get the baby out but, what is it, what is it? a little extra boost of energy to get it out ;)

  15. QUESTION:
    At How Many Mths Are You Able To Find Out Gender Of Baby?
    I am so eager to know whether I am having a boy or a girl... lol I am 9 weeks pregnant and this is my first.. I am so excited :-)

    Can you find out in your 12 week scan? When is the earliest that you can find out? Please give me your personal experiences..

    Someone told me that they can normally tell whether it is a boy or a girl based on the heartbeat.. Apparently a girl's is faster and a boy's is slower.. Is this true?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      it depends where you are if you are in the UK and on the NHS they generally wont tell you before the 20 week anomaly scan. For me, they did say that baby is a girl at 12 week scan and they were right. I had it confirmed at both a private gender scan at 16+6, and then the 20 week anomaly scan.

      The heartbeat thing is a total myth there is no truth to it I'm afraid.

      My cravings were typical of a girl though: all I wanted was orange juice and salad in the first 13 weeks and went right off meat.
      there are quizzes you can do online too based on old wives tales but in reality its 50:50 although i remember thinking right after conception, "if we've conceived this cycle, it's definitely going to be a girl". i did dismiss that thought though!

      You can pay for a gender scan at 16 weeks but no one can tell you with any real certainty before that. Best of luck x

  16. QUESTION:
    what do the three distinct lines supposed to identify when trying to find out gender of baby?
    well today i had a sonogram done and was wandering what the three lines meant...they told me it was a girl but how do i know its not a boy??! what if two of those lines are testicles and the one in the center is a little peepee.??

    • ANSWER:
      As for the three lines:

      "The 3-lines sign which denotes the labia in the fetus is a very valid and accurate indication of the female gender."

      http://www.ob-ultrasound.net/genderfaq.html

      The visualization of a penis and scrotum does not at all resemble the 3-lines.

      You can go to the following sites for ultrasound images which show both female and male genitalia. You can see the difference for yourself!

      For male:

  17. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender? Find out or no...see details please, I want both sides?
    Last month when I went to the Dr, I could have found out what I was having. My husband didn't want to know so I told the Dr I didn't want to know (Hubby didn't want to know last time, but I found out anyway and wouldn't tell him). Later down the road I made a comment about a gender neutral outfit being "too girly" and he said that from that comment I was having a girl. Turned out he was right.

    For those of you who waited...Did you ever want to change your mind and find out to make planning easier? How did you make it thru without finding out??

    For those of you who didn't find out, but then later changed your mind and found out...at what point?

    I am having mixed thoughts this time about finding out. I don't want to know b/c it really doesn't matter, but at the same time I want to know so that I can have the perfect coming home outfit and everything already set up??

    • ANSWER:
      Ok I will give both sides because I have just found out that we are expecting a baby girl that I am so excited about. However, it is quite strange because I kind of think what is there to tell people after she is born? Her weight not quite the same as saying wow it's a lovely little girl or boy. I am not regretting it but perhaps next time I wouldn't find out. It is a tough decision that initially can be made so quick. However, I can get a little organised now but then it would serve me right if the sonographer was wrong haha. Good luck with everything.

  19. QUESTION:
    help me to find my baby gender- girl or boy?
    ok.. I'm 6wks pregnant now.. my Dcotor will not tell me about my baby gender b'coz of some law issues here where i live.. .. so, i want to find out/guess my baby gender with your help! :)
    May be these information will help to find out -
    Its been 6 months we were trying to get pregnant and atlast it happened in this new year as i wished... Dec i had intercourse with my husband only on these days..
    Dec 16 and Dec 18.
    i saw lots of egcm on Dec 19th-I guess i ovulated around Dec 20 /21

    yes!!, we had sex only for 2 days that month .. then we had a fight for some reason and didnt do anything during my ovulation time... but still i got pregnant... :)

    now, as far as i know, GIRL sperm swims slow and stay long... BOY sperm swims fast but will not live long.. So, in my case, i would have got pregnant by the 18th intercourse sperm .. if i would have ovulated around 20/21 then the sperm 18th sperm should have to live for 3-4 days... only girl sperm can live that long... sooooooo amy guess is - BABY GIRL!!!!!

    • ANSWER:

      I didn't think you could find out the gender at 6 weeks.

      the only way to know is amniocentesis, ultrasound, or childbirth

  20. QUESTION:
    How soon to find out baby's gender?
    I'm 17 weeks pregnant and am going in for my OB appt this afternoon. Originally she wanted to wait till my next appt at 20 weeks, problem is because of the loss of my job and my health insurance (tomorrow is my last day at work) I am needing to switch to an OB who accepts Medicaid. Since I still have insurance today can I ask my OB to do an ultrasound to determine gender today? It'll be probably till week 23 for my next appt with a new OB, and we'd really like to know as soon as possible.

    • ANSWER:
      You could ask, but that doesn't mean they'll do it.

  21. QUESTION:
    How far along do you have to be to find out the gender of your baby?
    I went for a ultrasound and I was exactly 20 weeks pregnant on the day i went in for it. I called to the doctors office to see how the ultrasound went, and to find out the gender of the baby and the lady told me that I wasn't far along enough to find out what the baby is. My friend found out when she was 4 months along? Was the doctor lying to me because they forgot to document it in the report, or am I really to early?
    I asked at the ultrasound what the baby was and the lady told me that they aren't allowed to give that information out. Only your OB/GYN can give that info. I also asked her to show me the bum area so I can see for myself and she told me no.

    • ANSWER:
      Well i was 20 weeks when i found out and they were very sure about the sex. At 20 weeks the genitals are well formed and you are able to tell what the sex is if the baby is willing to show you! Did you ask for them to look for the sex at the scan? cause they tell you there and then, they dont actually put it in the report.

      I found out with my baby boy at the 20 week scan and they told me there and then cause i asked them to check, but when i got the report it had nothing in there about his gender.

      The person who said that to you either lied to you or they are not very experienced at what they do!!

  22. QUESTION:
    Is it still possible to still find out baby's gender at 29 weeks?
    Is it still possible to be able to determine baby's gender at 29 weeks pregnant?
    I had an ultrasound at 18 weeks and the Ultrasound tech couldn't see my baby's gender because
    he or she had its legs crossed... My husband made a 3D/4D ultrasound appointment for this Saturday, but I'm wondering if the tech would be able to see, since by now the baby is bigger and I do know its recommended from 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

    Thank you for your help! =)

    • ANSWER:
      As long as the legs are open they can tell :) I was told I was having a girl at 20 weeks. They confirmed it at 28 weeks. The 3D ultrasounds are easier to tell also because they can see better. They can also have you move around in different positions to make the baby move if the legs are closed. Best of luck to you and congrats mommy!! :D

  23. QUESTION:
    What was accurate for your baby gender?
    I was wondering what's ways to find out baby gender early, was there anything you tried out and it came out right for more than one of your kids n right for your friend and family when they were pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      My instinct told me I was having a boy. I just had a feeling. At my 20week scan the doctor asked if we wanted to know the sex and he told us we were having a girl. He said he was 99% sure but it turned out I was having a boy after all. My instinct was right all along. If only if I had trusted my instinct before I bought everything in pink!ll. My instinct was right all along. If only if I had trusted my instinct before I bought everything in pink!

  24. QUESTION:
    How far along do I have to be to find out gender of my baby?
    I will be 15 weeks tomorrow and my next appointment is at 17 weeks 1 day. Do you think we can find out the sex of the baby at that appointment or have to wait til the 21 week visit?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually they tell you the gender at ultrasound around 18-20 weeks. I think you will have to wait until the 21 weeks visit. For now, you can do fun gender predictors online. I did fortunebaby.com gender predictor when I was in my first trimester, and it turned out to be accurate. Their site also has other fun popular gender predictors.

  25. QUESTION:
    probability of having the same gender of baby 3 times in a row?
    I have two little boys and just found out I'm pregnant with my 3rd baby. I've heard that after you've had the same gender twice in a row, your chances for baby #3 being the same gender goes up ... is there any truth to this?? I'm starting to think my husband can only make little boys! haha
    could it be that my husband's sperm contains more male than female?

    • ANSWER:
      False. Genetics tell us that there is the exact same chance of having a boy then having a girl, even if the baby already has 3 brothers. Every time, the chance of the baby being a girl or a boy is exactly the same. Don't get it? Try drawing it out. Draw 1 big square and divide it in to 4 (two boxes ontop, two on the bottom). Inside 2 boxes, write XX, the genotype for a girl. In the other you write XY, the genotype for boys. Use a spinner, or just choose at random what sex the baby is. As you can see, Its kind of a 50/50 chance. If you really want a girl and have overlooked the possibilities/ consequenses, you may want toask yourdoctor about getting the baby's sex changed.

    I'm wondering when I'll be able to find out what gender my baby is. Some say its as early as 12 weeks and other say that you can first see it at 20 weeks.

    When is it?

    • ANSWER:

    Anyone have the correct sex according to the Chinese Birth Calendar?

    • ANSWER:
      The chinese birth chart was right for all 3 of my kids, but wrong for both my best friends kids. I don't know about a gender blood test you can buy, but I wasted my money on that Intelligender test. What a waste! If I turned it to the boy side, my urine looked kinda green, when I turned it around to the girl side, it looked orange-ish. I even sent the company pictures and wronte them multiple emails and never got a response. They're a rip-off!

  31. QUESTION:
    Ladies and Gentlemen, if you're a parent to be, would you like to find out your baby's gender or?
    would you wait until birth and be surprised?

    I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and she can find out what gender the baby is going to be. Part of me wants to know and a part of me feels I should wait and let it be a surprise. What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      I would want to know. Not because of buying clothes or something, I think the whole idea of "colors for boys and colors for girls" makes no sense and is totally wrong. The only reason I would want to know is to be able to pick the name and start referring to my child as to a particular, special person, particularly when talking to him/her. It's a person, a human being even before you give him/her birth, so why not referring to him or her as to a particular, unique person and not just in general, neutral way? Of course, it's a personal decision, but this is what mine would be like.

  32. QUESTION:
    How early did you find out gender of your baby?
    I'm pregnant with my second and I have my NT (Down Syndrome test) Ultrasound next week (12weeks), I didn't have to do this with my first child so I'm wondering if it's possible if we'll be able to see if it is a boy or girl yet?? I kind of have my hopes up already and I know I shouldn't, just wondering what everyone else has experience.

    How early did you find out what you were having/had?

    • ANSWER:
      3 months i believe is the earliest. so you might be able to find out at 12 weeks. sometimes the doc. cannot get a clear shot. i think you have a good chance at finding out but also expect that it may be too early. dont be disappointed if you dont find out just schedule an ultrasound appointment when you go to this appointment if u dont find out.

  33. QUESTION:
    When did you find out the gender of your baby?
    I will be 16 weeks 4 days at my next Obgyn appointment, We're hoping to find out what our baby is. Has anyone found out at this point? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Hey!

      Congratulations! Finding out the gender of my baby was defiantly a very exciting part of my pregnancy. I found out at exactly 19 weeks & 6 days.

      Good Luck & Enjoy, I cried when I found out I was having a boy!! :]

  34. QUESTION:
    Is it better to wait till birth to find out the gender of your baby?
    I have twin boys, and we found out they were boys about 2 weeks before they were born. My wife, and I are TTC a new baby soon. I am wondering if anyone thinks it is more fun to wait till the baby is born to find out its gender? My wife thinks it will be fun to get the surprise - I just don't know if I could wait. Is the experience any different when you wait? or did you prefer knowing before?

    • ANSWER:
      They told me that they thought my first son was a boy, he was. I didn't find out with 2 and 3, and it somehow seemed more special to find out when they were born. With my first, it was like, yeah he is born, with the following two, there was some excitement to see what you got! Kinda like waiting until Christmas morning to open your presents. What fun is it if you know what every box under the tree contains?!

  35. QUESTION:
    What is the earliest week I can find out gender of the baby?
    I've heard some say as early as 10 weeks?

    • ANSWER:
      At 10 weeks you cant know the correct gender for sure. My friend found out at 16 weeks, but most doctors wont tell you till your 18 weeks. My doctor wont tell me till I'm 20 week, so he can get the most accurate answer. Still there is a 5% chance that the doctor could be wrong at 20 weeks weeks.

  36. QUESTION:
    Can I find out my baby's gender at 15 weeks?
    I'll actually be 15 weeks the day after my ultrasound... BUT I have a 15 week ultrasound scheduled for this Friday, and although I know the best time to distinguish gender is between 18-20 weeks, I'm one of those anxious "I can't wait to know" people. How likely is it that my ultrasound tech would be willing to give me an educated guess? When did you find out the gender of your baby (if applicable)?

    • ANSWER:
      I think 15 weeks is too soon to tell. They might be able to tell you but it won't be as accurate. They usually tell you around 18-20 weeks. I found out at 18 weeks. I did some fun gender predictors online while I was waiting for my ultrasound. here is a good site that has all popular gender predictors. If you want to know now, try fortune baby gender predictor, it was accurate for me.

    When is it possible to find out sex of the baby during pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      About 18 weeks with an ultrasound, I have two boys, and both were done at 18 and 20 weeks.It was accurate, but don't always depend on it.They were careful to tell me the same thing. Some believe you can tell by the heart rate. Girls are faster than .boys. My midwife said in alot of cases it seems to be a clue.I believe around 150 plus beats per minute, during activity is the higher.Around 135 being the lower.

    when to find out my baby gender... ?
    hi .
    I'm 16 weeks pregnant now and I went last week to check my baby gender and the tech said that the baby legs are closed and she wasn't able to figure out... however, at the end she told me that it MAY be a girl! Is 16 weeks good enough to find out the gender?? when did u know ur baby is a girl of a boy?

    and another thing, anyone was told a girl then found out later that it's a BOY?

    • ANSWER:
      im surprised they let you book a gender ultrasound at 16 weeks.. while it CAN be done at 16 weeks, its still pretty unreliable and theres a high mistake rate so i definately wouldnt trust it.

      19 weeks is the best time to tell the gender so book back in when you are 19-20 weeks. i was 19 weeks when we found out our baby was a boy.. they were right :)

  43. QUESTION:
    How early can I find out the gender of my baby?
    I know my OB will do an extensive ultrasound at 24 weeks to take a look at the baby's organs and sex. Right now I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I read the baby's sex organs develop around the 16- 18 week. How early can I get an ultrasound to find the sex of my baby? Any person experiences/?

    • ANSWER:
      usually you can tell at 16weeks, but it might not be that accurate. my dr is scheduling one for me between 18 and 22wks, and they will be 80% right on the gender...the longer you wait, the more accurate they will be. most dr's won't do it until you are 20 weeks though

  44. QUESTION:
    Should we find out gender of baby?

    • ANSWER:

  45. QUESTION:
    How common is it to find out the gender of baby at 17w4d?
    I will be getting my second Ultrasound at around that time and i would like to know what are the odds of finding out the sex?

    • ANSWER:
      I heard it's best to find out the sex around 20 weeks because then the odds of getting it correct is quite accurate. Male and female reproductive system looks very similiar in the beginning. (They all look like boy parts.) They start to differenciate later on in the second trimester. At 17 weeks, the doc might be able to give you a sex but there also might be a chance (maybe just a slight chance) that the sex might not be accurate. I've read that people find out as early as 16 weeks but it's up to you if you want to believe the accuracy of the gender. It's probably better to do it later or at least get a confirmation of the gender at a later time.

First Month Of Pregnancy

First Month Of Pregnancy - Learn To Identify Various Signs
Congrats! So, your partner is pregnant. Is this the first time your partner or you are getting pregnant? You might have heard about pregnancy but this is the first time you or your partner are experiencing it. So, are you confused on what would be happening in the first month of pregnancy? How would pregnancy affect life of both of you? How would she react to the pregnancy?

However, the first month of pregnancy may be uneventful as what happens during this phase is to tell you or your partner about pregnancy and if you know that you are pregnant then you have already experienced those events. Some people have a myth that woman would not have menstrual period if she is pregnant which is not the case always. In some cases, the time by which the pregnancy is ascertained by the woman she already is in the stage of first month or after that. This is due to the fact that it is not easy to ascertain the pregnancy in the first month without any test.
Changes in pregnant woman such as noticeable weight gain is generally the result of large fetus. In the stages of first month the embryo is not developed into a large fetus and hence it is difficult to see any changes in the way woman feels. Even if women feels something, she might relate it to daily routine or common problems.

Repetitive nausea is known to be the sign of pregnancy is some cases. It is sometimes the first clue which may be recognized by a woman. But in most of the cases, woman keep on trying various methods thinking it to be a normal cold or indigestion case. It is advised that you take your partner to the hospital is your partner is suffering from nausea or vomiting since several days. Your partner may be sick or pregnant.

To avoid situations of "Morning sickness" you must ensure that she eats balanced diet and drink appropriate amount of water during her pregnancy. Your pregnant partner needs to consume good quantity of nutritious food and more water than usual to avoid dehydration.

Mood fluctuations is an another noticeable signs of pregnancy in stages of first month. Although mood fluctuations can be easily seen during end of first month but these are more clearly visible during the second month. Hormonal changes in the body of woman are responsible for this mood change. Actually, an embryo produces hormones. The consequences of mixture of hormones is mood fluctuation and strange food cravings that would surprise you. Usually such food cravings and mood swings are unnoticeable during the end of stages first month. Such changes signifies the beginning of pregnancy. If you are feeling all these pregnancy stages first month then be prepared for the coming baby.

Find Out Baby Gender

6 Ways to Determine the Gender of Your Baby
There are many baby gender predictors on the market these days. If you're looking at trying different methods to find out the sex of your baby before its delivery, remember there is nothing more accurate than actually waiting till your baby is born. None the less, it can be fun trying some of these methods. I'm going to run through a few on them to give you an indication of what is available to you.

Myths/Old Wives Tales

- Let your wedding ring do the testing! Take your wedding ring and tie it on a piece of string over your belly, let the string dangle and if your wedding ring moves back and forth then it indicates you are having a baby boy. If it's in a circular motion then it's a baby girl.

- Is morning sickness telling you something? If you have avoided early morning sickness than it indicates you are having a baby boy. However morning sickness throughout the pregnancy indicates to a baby girl.

- Does the heart rate have the answers if you baby's heart rate is slower than 140bpm then its more likely to indicate a little boy and faster than 140bpm indicates a little baby girl

- How are you carrying? If the mom-to-be is carrying low it's more likely to be a boy whereas high indicates a little girl.

Medical indications

- A morphology ultrasound This would be by far the most popular ways to find out the sex of your unborn baby This type of ultrasound is usually carried out around the 20th week, although this method still isn't 100% accurate it is the most accurate without potentially harming your baby.

- Amniocentesis This type of testing involves taking a sample of the amniotic fluid by inserting a needle into the womb via the belly. This type of testing is done for genetic reasons ie diseases but as it comes with a range of risks e.g. miscarriage, it shouldn't be undertaking solely for the purpose of gender selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Did you choose not to find out baby's gender until delivery day?
    if so, do you wish you had done it differently and had found out the gender at four months? I'm planning on waiting because of the surprise factor, but when I think of how convinient it would be to know the gender when it comes to room decor, baby clothes items etc, it's pretty tempting to change my mind,,,,keep in mind this will be my first and only child (my husband and I have decided to have just one) so it's tough to decide......any advice or personal experience?

    • ANSWER:
      I am due in five days, and don't know the baby's gender. I wouldn't do it differently. I don't think they'll be anything better than meeting the baby once it's born.

      I think that very few people have patience in today's world, and I'm proud of the fact that my husband and I have!

      For us, we plan on having two, so this way we have all of the gender neutral supplies for whatever our next baby is, too. Plus, I was told that a lot of people will come to meet the baby after it's born, and bring a gender specific gift, so that way you get even more (which is just a bonus, not really a reason to not find out).

      Obviously my opinion is to wait, but I completely understand wanting to know for planning reasons. I guess it depends on how much pink or blue you want around. If you want a super-girly girl that wears only pink, or boy with blue, then find out the gender.

      Congrats and have fun with whatever you choose!

  2. QUESTION:
    DID YOU FIND OUT BABY GENDER AT 18 WEEKS?

    I am going in just under 3 weeks. (at 18 weeks) ,To try and see if we can see what the gender of our little one is going to be :D , was just wondering , who found out at this time?

  3. QUESTION:
    When should I feel baby and find out gender?
    OK so I got my BFP that I have been hoping for. I am only 6 weeks pregnant and I know that it is way too early for either one of these things, but I was wondering when I should start feeling the baby kick? Also about how far along do you have to be to find out the gender.

  4. QUESTION:
    How early did you find out baby's gender?
    I've seen some girls find out as early as 12 weeks at their NT scan. When did you find out the gender?

    • ANSWER:
      I found out at 13 weeks. The UT was able to ID and measure a little penis once our baby finally moved to the right spot. I know this is much earlier than all the books say, but all babies mature a little differently along the way- 20 weeks is probably the safest bet.

  5. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:

  6. QUESTION:
    different ways to find out baby's gender using household items?
    what are test that you have done at home to find out your babies gender and was it correct

    • ANSWER:
      You won't be able to tell with "household" items. What kind of "household" items are you talking about anyway? The only way to accurately tell is through ultrasound between 18 and 22 weeks (or later of course) But even they can be wrong sometimes. Intuitions are sometimes right. Mine were, I knew I was having a girl. I was told I was right at my ultrasound at 21 weeks.

  10. QUESTION:
    Were you able to find out your baby's gender on the first 4-5 month ultrasound?
    I am 17 weeks and my doctor says she's gonna try to find out gender this monday.

    Was anyone successful on the first try, or did it take a couple tries? Pls let me know ur experience, i will be 17 wks on monday~

    10 pts!

    • ANSWER:
      It can take a little while to get a clear picture of the baby, with my son he was very shy and we were there for about 10 minutes trying to get a clear picture.
      With our daughter she was pretty confident! We got a clear picture of her straight away and they could tell the gender straight away.

      Depending on what kind of postion your baby is in, if its shy or not.

  11. QUESTION:
    When did you find out your baby's gender?
    I have an appt Sept 29 and I will be just turning 16 weeks. Tomorrow is my last day for 12. I want to know if I might be able to find out the gender on the 29th instead of having to wait another month after. I am too impatient. When did you find out your baby's gender?

    • ANSWER:
      They can tell you as early as 15 or 16 weeks. Although, the chances of them being right is slim that early. I say wait until 20 (when the babies genitals have a little more time to form). That way, you aren't told one thing and get a little surprise at the end! :-) Good luck!

  12. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      I think you're referring to Intelligender, and all I can say is avoid it! It is a scam, they are currently under investigation for swindling expectant mothers out of their money for false results.

      The best thing I can tell you is to wait until your second trimester u/s, or get a 3D/4D u/s done after 20 weeks. I know it seems like a long way off, but the longer you wait, the more accurate your reading will be.

  13. QUESTION:
    To find out baby gender or not?
    Baby's sex? Everyone keeps saying not to find out because it will ruin the "surprise"...experiences anyone?
    yeah im due june 25th! but as well everyone says it will take away from the excitement.. i doubt it but just kinda wanted to see what other people chose :)

    • ANSWER:
      I think most people want to find out. I can't wait and I'm only 13 weeks along! My biggest reason is that I want to be prepared for this little newcomer. I want to have everything ready, including a room, and clothes, and possibilities for names . . . and I want to have time to get excited for whatever may be. Plus then, there will be no room in either parent's mind to secretly hope or daydream that it's one or the other. Also, if you have kids already, it's nice to prepare them. This is my first baby, so I won't have to deal with that. My mom told me years after the fact that I was really mad at my little brother when he was born because he wasn't a girl (I was 2). She said it would have been nice to know just to prepare the other kids, which is something she hadn't thought of before. We were great friends growing up, so it wasn't anything permanent, but I guess that reaction was hard for my parents.

      Surprises are fun, but you will have plenty of little surprises when the baby comes! I say find out!

  15. QUESTION:
    What to do when you & spouse disagree on whether to find out baby's gender?
    My husband & I originally decided not to find out what kind of baby we're having. His mother asked and we told her this. Now she started pushing my husband to find out because "she wants to know what color blanket to make." So he's now changing his mind. I'm so irritated! I can't stand MIL she's so damn pushy! He wants us to find out now. What would you do?
    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      If you don't want to find out, then don't. It's got nothing to do with anyone else. Why can't your MIL make a neutral coloured blanket?

  17. QUESTION:
    Baby Gender? Find out or no...see details please, I want both sides?
    Last month when I went to the Dr, I could have found out what I was having. My husband didn't want to know so I told the Dr I didn't want to know (Hubby didn't want to know last time, but I found out anyway and wouldn't tell him). Later down the road I made a comment about a gender neutral outfit being "too girly" and he said that from that comment I was having a girl. Turned out he was right.

    For those of you who waited...Did you ever want to change your mind and find out to make planning easier? How did you make it thru without finding out??

    For those of you who didn't find out, but then later changed your mind and found out...at what point?

    I am having mixed thoughts this time about finding out. I don't want to know b/c it really doesn't matter, but at the same time I want to know so that I can have the perfect coming home outfit and everything already set up??

    • ANSWER:
      Ok I will give both sides because I have just found out that we are expecting a baby girl that I am so excited about. However, it is quite strange because I kind of think what is there to tell people after she is born? Her weight not quite the same as saying wow it's a lovely little girl or boy. I am not regretting it but perhaps next time I wouldn't find out. It is a tough decision that initially can be made so quick. However, I can get a little organised now but then it would serve me right if the sonographer was wrong haha. Good luck with everything.

  18. QUESTION:
    Parents who waited to find out the gender of their baby?
    Me and my husband is expecting our first baby very soon. We decide to not know the gender since he or she will be our first baby. I wanted to no from parents who have also waited to find our the baby gender till the birth, was it worth waiting? How rewarding was it? I was doing fine without knowing but this last month has seem to be the hardest, im very excited. Any people have stories?
    jib: yeah i think im going to have a little boy from the way im caring but we will see

    • ANSWER:
      definitely worth the wait, especially for the first. thats the way it should be. we are so limited on true surprises so why not make this one a surprise!?

      we waited to find out with the first and found out with the second. both girls, btw.

      its so amazing not knowing when u r pushing the baby out. u have a goal to reach - not only to get the baby out but, what is it, what is it? a little extra boost of energy to get it out ;)

  19. QUESTION:
    I'm 2 months pregnat, when can I find out my baby's gender?
    I am 2 months pregnat with my first baby and I was wondering when I could find out the gender.
    I want to know the gender BEFORE the baby is born because I want to be able to put stuff on my wishlist for my shower.

    • ANSWER:
      i had a friend that found out as early as 15 weeks. i did not find out until i was 21 weeks. keep in mind that they usually do the "gender check" ultrasound at 18 to 21 weeks but they can't always tell. i went at 18 weeks and he was facing some way and they couldn't tell and at my 21 week appt. he wouldn't spread his legs and they had to prod him and press on him through my stomach to get him to shift. congrats!

  20. QUESTION:
    Is It Better To Wait To Find Out The Gender Of Your Baby, Or Find Out As Soon As You Can?
    Did You Wait to find out?

    • ANSWER:
      What a wonderful surprise it would be to wait until delivery day. My husband and I, however, have no patience, so we chose to find out the sex AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We were able to put gender specific items on our registry (i.e.- the wee wee cup) for our baby boy. As soon as we have our second trimester ultrasound, for this pregnancy, if we are able to, we will definitely find out the sex of our baby.

  21. QUESTION:
    how early on can you find out your baby's gender?
    I'm just curious as to how early you can find out what gender your baby is going to be.

    • ANSWER:
      Between 17 and 20 weeks .. it depends also on the ultrasound machine and the babies position ,sometimes the baby will not give itself away .

  22. QUESTION:
    How far along do you have to be to find out the gender of your baby?
    I went for a ultrasound and I was exactly 20 weeks pregnant on the day i went in for it. I called to the doctors office to see how the ultrasound went, and to find out the gender of the baby and the lady told me that I wasn't far along enough to find out what the baby is. My friend found out when she was 4 months along? Was the doctor lying to me because they forgot to document it in the report, or am I really to early?
    I asked at the ultrasound what the baby was and the lady told me that they aren't allowed to give that information out. Only your OB/GYN can give that info. I also asked her to show me the bum area so I can see for myself and she told me no.

    • ANSWER:
      Well i was 20 weeks when i found out and they were very sure about the sex. At 20 weeks the genitals are well formed and you are able to tell what the sex is if the baby is willing to show you! Did you ask for them to look for the sex at the scan? cause they tell you there and then, they dont actually put it in the report.

      I found out with my baby boy at the 20 week scan and they told me there and then cause i asked them to check, but when i got the report it had nothing in there about his gender.

      The person who said that to you either lied to you or they are not very experienced at what they do!!

  23. QUESTION:
    At How Many Mths Are You Able To Find Out Gender Of Baby?
    I am so eager to know whether I am having a boy or a girl... lol I am 9 weeks pregnant and this is my first.. I am so excited :-)

    Can you find out in your 12 week scan? When is the earliest that you can find out? Please give me your personal experiences..

    Someone told me that they can normally tell whether it is a boy or a girl based on the heartbeat.. Apparently a girl's is faster and a boy's is slower.. Is this true?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      it depends where you are if you are in the UK and on the NHS they generally wont tell you before the 20 week anomaly scan. For me, they did say that baby is a girl at 12 week scan and they were right. I had it confirmed at both a private gender scan at 16+6, and then the 20 week anomaly scan.

      The heartbeat thing is a total myth there is no truth to it I'm afraid.

      My cravings were typical of a girl though: all I wanted was orange juice and salad in the first 13 weeks and went right off meat.
      there are quizzes you can do online too based on old wives tales but in reality its 50:50 although i remember thinking right after conception, "if we've conceived this cycle, it's definitely going to be a girl". i did dismiss that thought though!

      You can pay for a gender scan at 16 weeks but no one can tell you with any real certainty before that. Best of luck x

  24. QUESTION:
    How soon to find out baby's gender?
    I'm 17 weeks pregnant and am going in for my OB appt this afternoon. Originally she wanted to wait till my next appt at 20 weeks, problem is because of the loss of my job and my health insurance (tomorrow is my last day at work) I am needing to switch to an OB who accepts Medicaid. Since I still have insurance today can I ask my OB to do an ultrasound to determine gender today? It'll be probably till week 23 for my next appt with a new OB, and we'd really like to know as soon as possible.

    • ANSWER:
      You could ask, but that doesn't mean they'll do it.

  25. QUESTION:
    Is it still possible to still find out baby's gender at 29 weeks?
    Is it still possible to be able to determine baby's gender at 29 weeks pregnant?
    I had an ultrasound at 18 weeks and the Ultrasound tech couldn't see my baby's gender because
    he or she had its legs crossed... My husband made a 3D/4D ultrasound appointment for this Saturday, but I'm wondering if the tech would be able to see, since by now the baby is bigger and I do know its recommended from 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

    Thank you for your help! =)

    • ANSWER:
      As long as the legs are open they can tell :) I was told I was having a girl at 20 weeks. They confirmed it at 28 weeks. The 3D ultrasounds are easier to tell also because they can see better. They can also have you move around in different positions to make the baby move if the legs are closed. Best of luck to you and congrats mommy!! :D

  26. QUESTION:
    How soon can you find out the gender of the baby?
    I'm wondering when I'll be able to find out what gender my baby is. Some say its as early as 12 weeks and other say that you can first see it at 20 weeks.

    When is it?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually you can find out around 18-20 weeks at your ultrasound appt. However,I found out when I was only 5 weeks pregnant by taking a fortunebaby gender prediction test, and then later my ultrasound confrimed their results. If you want to know now, try it, it really works!

  27. QUESTION:
    when to find out my baby gender... ?
    hi .
    I'm 16 weeks pregnant now and I went last week to check my baby gender and the tech said that the baby legs are closed and she wasn't able to figure out... however, at the end she told me that it MAY be a girl! Is 16 weeks good enough to find out the gender?? when did u know ur baby is a girl of a boy?

    and another thing, anyone was told a girl then found out later that it's a BOY?

    • ANSWER:
      im surprised they let you book a gender ultrasound at 16 weeks.. while it CAN be done at 16 weeks, its still pretty unreliable and theres a high mistake rate so i definately wouldnt trust it.

      19 weeks is the best time to tell the gender so book back in when you are 19-20 weeks. i was 19 weeks when we found out our baby was a boy.. they were right :)

  28. QUESTION:
    Can I find out my baby's gender at 15 weeks?
    I'll actually be 15 weeks the day after my ultrasound... BUT I have a 15 week ultrasound scheduled for this Friday, and although I know the best time to distinguish gender is between 18-20 weeks, I'm one of those anxious "I can't wait to know" people. How likely is it that my ultrasound tech would be willing to give me an educated guess? When did you find out the gender of your baby (if applicable)?

    • ANSWER:
      I think 15 weeks is too soon to tell. They might be able to tell you but it won't be as accurate. They usually tell you around 18-20 weeks. I found out at 18 weeks. I did some fun gender predictors online while I was waiting for my ultrasound. here is a good site that has all popular gender predictors. If you want to know now, try fortune baby gender predictor, it was accurate for me.

  29. QUESTION:
    Did you find out the baby's gender or did you wait? Some advice needed on finding out or not?
    My sister is pregnant with her 5th baby, and she has 4 boys already, she is wondering if she should find out the gender for the baby this time or wait until birth to find out, this will be her last baby. For those who waited until the baby was born to find out what are the pros and cons for you? Any advice for her?
    What would you recommend she does?.... she found out every other pregnancy she had.
    I know its up to them lol, she is the one asking this question, she just doesnt go online much

    • ANSWER:
      Going on my best friend and my four combined births, I would say that it really doesn't matter when you find out. It's a surprise at either time.

      If she has had easy labors and knows that she will most likely have a straight forward vaginal birth this time too, it's really up to her.

      However, for my best friend, she waited to find out and wound up with an emergency C-section with a general anes for the first one and then a scheduled C-section with a baby who wound up in the NICU for the second one. So, the baby's gender was the least of all the surprises. In both cases, she was so drugged up that it really didn't sink in for several days what had happened, much less if it was a boy or girl.

      For me, I found out with all three of my pregnancies (am due in a few weeks with my third). After seeing what happened to her, I figured that I wanted it to be a happy time. If I knew I would have the idyllic "It's a girl!" after a few pushes with pictures flashing and my being fine and well, I would have waited, but I didn't want to risk it.

      Good thing too because my firstborn was not breathing due to cord compression after my vaginal delivery. My daughter was born after a horrible labor with her going into acute distress and wound up coming through emergency C-section. I have good memories of the ultrasound showing me the genders and remember the happiness, whereas the actual births are things I try NOT to remember. :)

  30. QUESTION:
    When is the most accurate time to find out the baby's gender?
    I am a "first timer" (15 wks along) and i have an appointment to find out the baby's gender at 18 wks. Is this too soon? Friends and relatives seem to have waited much longer around 20+ wks.

    • ANSWER:
      I had an ultrasound done at 20weeks to determine the sex of my baby, and at 20 weeks everything was very clear especially the sex organs. However, 18 weeks is a good time as well, each baby is different and by then yours may very well be developed enough to see if it is a girl or a boy. And i'm pretty sure this won't be your last ultrasound, so if something different comes up the next time, you'll be informed.

  31. QUESTION:
    How long until I find out my baby's gender and feel it move?
    I'm 1 and a half weeks pregnant and I was wondering, how much longer until I can find out the baby's gender and feel it move or kick? I was told I have to be 13 weeks pregnant is that true?
    For those of you who are saying I can't tell if I'm 1 and a half weeks, I can tell because I can remember that me and my boyfriend had sex without using protection and I didn't get my period when it was due to start.

    • ANSWER:
      how the hell can you know if you are 1 1/2 weeks????????

      No you are not pregnant after 1 1/2 weeks, and no pregnancy test??? I think you should be better educated and age a few more years before having sex if you still do not get it.

  32. QUESTION:
    Ladies and Gentlemen, if you're a parent to be, would you like to find out your baby's gender or?
    would you wait until birth and be surprised?

    I have a doctor's appointment on Monday and she can find out what gender the baby is going to be. Part of me wants to know and a part of me feels I should wait and let it be a surprise. What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      I would want to know. Not because of buying clothes or something, I think the whole idea of "colors for boys and colors for girls" makes no sense and is totally wrong. The only reason I would want to know is to be able to pick the name and start referring to my child as to a particular, special person, particularly when talking to him/her. It's a person, a human being even before you give him/her birth, so why not referring to him or her as to a particular, unique person and not just in general, neutral way? Of course, it's a personal decision, but this is what mine would be like.

I did fortunebaby.com gender predictor when I was in my first trimester, and it turned out to be accurate. Their site also has other fun popular gender predictors.

    Is it better to wait till birth to find out the gender of your baby?
    I have twin boys, and we found out they were boys about 2 weeks before they were born. My wife, and I are TTC a new baby soon. I am wondering if anyone thinks it is more fun to wait till the baby is born to find out its gender? My wife thinks it will be fun to get the surprise - I just don't know if I could wait. Is the experience any different when you wait? or did you prefer knowing before?

    • ANSWER:
      They told me that they thought my first son was a boy, he was. I didn't find out with 2 and 3, and it somehow seemed more special to find out when they were born. With my first, it was like, yeah he is born, with the following two, there was some excitement to see what you got! Kinda like waiting until Christmas morning to open your presents. What fun is it if you know what every box under the tree contains?!

  37. QUESTION:
    what do the three distinct lines supposed to identify when trying to find out gender of baby?
    well today i had a sonogram done and was wandering what the three lines meant...they told me it was a girl but how do i know its not a boy??! what if two of those lines are testicles and the one in the center is a little peepee.??

    • ANSWER:
      As for the three lines:

      "The 3-lines sign which denotes the labia in the fetus is a very valid and accurate indication of the female gender."

      http://www.ob-ultrasound.net/genderfaq.html

      The visualization of a penis and scrotum does not at all resemble the 3-lines.

      You can go to the following sites for ultrasound images which show both female and male genitalia. You can see the difference for yourself!

  40. QUESTION:
    When can I find out my baby's gender?? And should I?
    I just recently found out that I'm pregnant and I could not be more excited. I was wondering at what point in the pregnancy I can find out the gender of my baby. Also, do you think I should find out in advance whether it's a boy or a girl or keep it as a surprise?

    • ANSWER:
      This is my second baby and I have no idea what is cooking in there. I had a surprise with my son and that was awesome. I really wanted to know this time. But the baby has other plans for me. He or She kept their legs tightly crossed so I'll respect that they wanted me to wait and keep it a surprise.

  41. QUESTION:
    How many weeks until you find out the babies gender?
    Well yesterday i found out i was pregnant and i want to know really soon what gender my baby is:) Im only about a 6 weeks along and i was wondering how many weeks you have to be to find out? Thanks<3

    • ANSWER:
      It depends for each pregnancy, but it's usually around 20 weeks (sometimes before, sometimes after.) We found out with my daughter at 21 weeks, but we found out with my son at just shy of 18 weeks.

  42. QUESTION:
    Possible to find out baby's gender at 15.5 weeks? ?
    I'm going to an ultrasound appointment next Friday, when I'll be 15 weeks 3 days pregnant. It's just for a follow up ultrasound since I was on meds in early pregnancy. If the ultrasound machine is very sensitive, do you think they'll be able to tell me the gender of the baby? I'm getting it done at OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University). With my first baby, I found out it was a boy at 20 weeks, but that was at the hospital in the town I live in. (not nearly as big as OHSU)
    I'm just going for a regular ultrasound, so it will be a bonus if they can tell if it's a boy or girl. If I don't find out at this one, my dr. office will make me wait til 22 weeks :( Oh well, I guess it'll be more accurate then!

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible but however your chances of it being a mistake are higher! They can be wrong when done that early! It is better to tell around 20 weeks because the sex organs are almost fully complete! Good luck!

    How early did you find out what you were having/had?

Find Baby Gender

Free Baby Gender Predictor: Find Out About The Many Ways to Predict Baby Gender
As parents, it is totally natural to be curious about your baby's gender as well as baby gender predictors. Too much has been said about your pregnancy baby gender. Grandma says it is a girl because off your regular cravings for sweets. Your aunt says it is a boy because of the shape of your belly. Nowadays, baby prediction methods consists of a wide range of tests and tell-tales from old wive's tales to modern DNA tests. If you are curious about the sex of you baby, below is a lits of free baby gender predictor which may want to consider. Just keep in mind that each free baby gender predictor listed below does not guarantee 100% accuracy and that an ultrasound is still deemed necessary.
Mommy's tummy It is believed that if a woman's belly is high and round, the baby is most likely to be a girl. On the other hand, a protruding belly is believed to be an indication of a baby boy. This tell-tale becomes true oftentimes since the body of a woman as well as her pre-pregnancy health determines how she will carry the baby. Health conditions like uterine fibroids can also affect your baby's condition. Mommy's face You are more likely to conceive a girl if your face grows round and if your nose grows wider and longer during pregnancy. Meanwhile, if your face starts to narrow, there is a bigger possibility that your baby is a boy. Despite the right assumptions for some, the weight gain in the face does not have any relation to pregnancy baby gender. Acne Many people believe that having acne during pregnancy is an indication that your baby is going to be a girl. The sudden change in hormones can cause acne during your pregnancy. Back pain -Some say that back pain can indicate a female sex. In reality, back pain can occur at any time of the pregnancy depending on your baby position, weight gain and the condition of your back. Heart rate The baby's heart rate may also be a baby predictor. Take baby girl has a fast heart rate, approximately 170 beats per minute while a baby boy has heart beat only gets close to around 150 per minute. Medical practitioners consider this prediction method as unreliable since the baby's heart rate may fluctuate roughly throughout the day. Wedding ring Some old couples bellieve that your wedding ring can help you detect your baby' gender. All you have to do is simply hang your wedding ring using a string. Hold it over your belly. If the ring swings in a circular motion, you are most likely to conceive a boy. On the other hand, if the ring swings back and forth, there is greater possibility that you are about to have a girl. Key test The concept is very simple. Simply grab a key. If you grabbed the top, it is more likely to be a boy. If you grabbed the bottom, then there's bigger chances of conceiving a girl. If you pick the key in the middle, this means you are bound to have a twins.
As mentioned, each free baby gender predictor mentioned above does not guarantee you 100% accuracy. For best results, an ultrasound will is highly advised.

First Response Pregnancy Test

Evaporation Lines on Pregnancy Tests
You are holdingyour pregnancy test in your hands and surprise it shows two lines! This means you are pregnant, right? Well, not always, especially if the second line is more of a shadow then an actual line. This could also be mistakenfor a evaporation line.

There areseveral reasons for your pregnancy tests to not read correctly. The first reason is that you took the test to soon. It is generally a good idea to wait until you are actually late for your period then to take the test before your due date. This way, you will have enough hCG in your urine for the pregnancy test todetect pregnancyalthough some women do test prior to getting there period, it is usually a good idea to wait until after you are due.

Another reason your test may give you incomplete results is that the test wasn't strong enough. Certain tests are more sensitive then others in picking up the hCG hormone which is the hormone which is secreted after the embryo attaches to the uterine wall of the newly formed placenta.

A more common reason is reading the test after the given time limit. Follow the instructions, and read within the given time limit of the tests. The second line could be very well your urine sitting to long in the test, therefore given the image of a second line.

If you suspect you maybe pregnant and you have a positive pregnancy test, remember to make an appointment with your physician who be able to help you prepare to have a happy and healthy next 9 months!

First Symptoms Of Pregnancy

Symptoms of Early Ivf Pregnancy Signs of an in Vitro Pregnancy
Most of the women under in vitro pregnancy feel confused what would be their symptoms of early IVF pregnancy. Women, who do not conceive naturally, can conceive artificially through in vitro process. Therefore, they often feel whether IVF pregnancy symptoms resemble symptoms of natural pregnancies or not. Following an IVF pregnancy, the egg is taken outside in a Petri dish to fertilize. After fertilization, the egg is again implanted in the body. However, this is an artificial process of being pregnant, the course of the pregnancy advances as the normal period of pregnancy advances. However, after much discussion on IVF pregnancy symptoms, confusions related to this topic has prevailed. Let us talk about the procedures of IVF pregnancy and the symptoms of early IVF pregnancy.

What Is IVF Pregnancy?

This IVF pregnancy has brought ray of hopes to many women who have not been able to become pregnant naturally. Fortunately, this IVF pregnancy also consists of painless procedures. As the egg is fertilized in a Petri dish, it is planted in the womb of by the help of a catheter. The symptoms of early IVF pregnancy come to surface as the fertilized egg is implanted at the walls of uterus. Once the egg is implanted, mother's body starts generating hormones to support advancement of pregnancy. As the pregnancy symptoms start showing up, take note of each of the signs and prepare a pregnancy journal. However, one must know the date when the egg was fertilized in the womb, otherwise, it is pretty challenging to make a pregnancy journal in case of an IVF pregnancy. So, start with recording the date of the implantation of the fertilized egg in your uterus. What Are The Symptoms Of IVF Pregnancy?

After the egg is implanted in the uterus, and as your pregnancy is determined through an ultrasound, your body commence showing up symptoms of early IVF pregnancy. These symptoms are usually the symptoms of normal pregnancy. Following is a list of probable signs you can expect in an IVF pregnancy

Enhanced level of basal body temperature
An overdue periods or amenorrhea
Tender and sore breasts
Cramping sensation in lower abdominal area
Discomforts of nausea and queasiness throughout the day
Increased aversion and fondness to certain foods and fragrances.
Dizziness and increased level of exhaustion and fainting.
Sudden onset of mood swings
Lower back pain
Urinating frequently

Role of HCG in IVF Pregnancy

HCG hormone is known as the pregnancy hormone and is produced after the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. In an interval of few days, this hormone is secreted in the blood and lead to arousal of symptoms of early pregnancy. However, during an IVF pregnancy, this hormone gets released a bit later in comparison to the normal pregnancy. This is the reason, the IVF pregnancy symptoms take a bit longer to arrive. If you are at this stage of IVF pregnancy, you should better consult a doctor or medical process to get your pregnancy confirmed, than to wait for its symptoms. Using an urine test, doctors detect IVF pregnancy. Undergo an HPT or positive urine test or ultrasound to be confirmed of your pregnancy if the symptoms of early IVF pregnancy are yet to show up.

First Sign Of Pregnancy

HIV & AIDS Symptoms in Men 5 Signs to Notice and to Tell if You are Infected HIV?
Have you ever experienced with unprotected sex? Are you engaged in a high-risk behavior such as sharing needles during intravenous drug use? If so, you are probably exposed to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). And when you has tested positive for HIV, it simply means you has now acquired the HIV which is the cause of AIDS.

The early signs of being infected are shown differently in men and generally happened within two to six weeks after the infection of HIV known as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome which damages an individual's immune system. The early HIV symptoms can be concluded with these following signs:

Sign 1: Fever

Fever is one of the most common early HIV symptoms. It is occurred both in men or women. This certain symptom generally appears soon after infection. It will happen during two to four weeks, and gradually dissipate like other flues. The fever symptoms are normally mild in nature and raise bodys temperature around 100 to 101 degrees F.

Sign 2: Headache

Mostly HIV infected men will get fever with periodic stroke of mild to moderate headaches. These headaches seem normal as general headaches you have faced in everyday life.

Sign 3: Swollen Glands

In a man who is infectious he can be found with some amount of swelling or inflammation in one or more of the lymph glands in the body. He may be found with a gland in his neck, armpit or groin that has gradually become swollen, raised and firm. In general, this swelling or inflammation will not cause any kind of pain or discomfort to the gland. Besides, this symptom shown always be mistaken for another illness.

Sign 4: Fatigue

The infected men can also be found with dramatic changing of their level of energy or stamina. They can become unexplainably fatigued or tired more than general. However, physical exercise in any man can result them differently and they probably conceive that this certain feeling occur a little more tired from a day at work.

Sign 5: Rash

In early symptom of HIV it can probably happen in the form of a general rash that appears as patches of skin that are gradually discolored from other areas. The rash may show raised and simply fade away within a week to a month after it first developed.

If those signs are appeared to you, the best suggestion here is to get yourself tested. The idea of being Tested for HIV Infection may be frightening. But the HIV Testing itself doesn't bring you HIV-positive or HIV-negative result. It's very critical not only for your own health but also to prevent the transmission of the virus to others.

    after conception, what the first pregnancy sign?
    whats the first sign of pregnancy after conception?
    and how long after conception does it start?

    • ANSWER:
      Mine was heartburn. I got it within the first week or two after conception! Then I got nauseated just a few days later. My boobs were sore, but that wasn't uncommon for me because mine are sore when I ovulate and before I start my period. The symptoms are different for everybody.

  4. QUESTION:
    What was your first pregnancy sign?
    My son is 17 months and still nursing, but the past 2 days my npples have been really sore, exactly like when I first became pregnant. And the only time in my life that they felt this way was when I first became pregnant with him. I never got my period back though so maybe that could be starting...? We weren't planning for another one but of course would be excited.

    What was your first pregnancy sign, and was it the same for all of your pregnancies? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Our first it was my breasts for sure! They were definitely bigger but sore SORE! Then I had some nausea and a dizzy spell at the airport. That was prior to getting my BFP (Big Fat Positive). I thought the dizzyiness had to do with the cold I had. I thought that the vomiting was due to food poisoning lol. Funny how we were TTC and every month I wasn't pregnant I was sure I was. Then when I was it was like deep down I knew so wasnt sweating every symptom.

      The second baby my breasts weren't as sore but I was throwing up. I tested just because it was the last day of my longest cycle. They were 32-38 days and I was charting on fertilityfriend. I had been checking my BBT and all but they were messed up because I'd just had an early miscarriage. I had a lot of cramping and thought I was going to lose the baby. Then finally at my 17th week I was reminded to trust the Lord... and finally did! It made a huge difference and I was finally able to enjoy that pregnancy.

      This time, I was still nursing and finally got my period 14 months post partum (hehe so Im not the only one that starts after a year). Then one cycle but it was super long 50 days! The next cycle I wasn't even thinking about it but tested at CD 45 because a friend made me lol. It was positive right away! I didnt have the sore breasts this time until I stopped nursing her when she was 17 months. I had started cramping whenever I nursed and it was time. She went a whole day without asking so I just continued and it was over. LOL though I did actually become so engorged and let her on for a few minutes. Then later she was having a night terror and I wasn't able to calm her. I put her on for a few minutes for comfort. It was the only thing that helped! Thankfully she only asked a few more times. She saw some friends nursing and lined up like she was next lol. It was cute.
      Now I am feeling the breast tenderness and I;m at 21 weeks. This started a couple weeks ago. I think the delay had to do with the nursing. I did have nausea though before I tested again.
      That seems to be common with me:) I think some things change with each pregnancy.

      I did feel the hormones were different this time and ... was right! WE are having a boy! The other two are girls so yeah diff hormones lol.

      Anyway the only way to know is test. I say, go for it! Best of luck and blessings :)

Then a bloody show and some pretty serious contractions. I knew it was time so I got in the shower and got dressed then my hubby and I went to L&D and lo and behold I was 5cm with my bag of waters bulging. My waters never broke on it's own the doctor had to rupture it for me. Labor was short and the pain was tolerable it was the thought to pushing something out of my vagina that made me get the epidural (I was 8-9cm by then so I got it just in the nick of time) 4hrs later my lil man was born. :) Total labor was 4 and a half hours.

    What was your very first sign of pregnancy?
    What was your very first signs of pregnancy? How long did it take you to become pregnant after coming off the pill?

    Thanks for your help

    • ANSWER:
      The earliest signs of pregnancy can be misleading because they mimic many symptoms of PMS (mild cramps, mood swings, fatigue and sore breasts). If you're experiencing these symptoms and your period doesn't come as expected, then take that test! I can say personally, that my biggest red flag was EXTREMELY sore breasts, more so than I had EVER experienced with regular PMS. For me, morning sickness and frequent urination set in within the first 2-3 weeks, but not until after I found out I was pregnant.

THANKS!
    sorry i had sex on 2-13-06

    • ANSWER:
      No, there are other reasons for a missed period, but you need a pregnancy test to be sure. But if you have had your period just two days after having sex, be sure that u r not pregnant, pregnancy occurs around the midcycle ( 10 - 14 days after your period )
      By the way, passage of clots during periods is abnormal, it means you bleed more than an ordinary person, you need to consult a gynecologist, do this before the pregnancy test !!
      Good Luck...

    My husband and I are trying to conceive. I think I just ovulated a couple of days ago. I am now so bitchy, PMS x10, I am tired, and am a bit dizzy/lightheaded and hungrier than usual. I never had any signs with my son (except for missed period and a bit of tiredness looking back at it and it only happened a few days before my period was due).

      My breasts were tender and my hair was coming out more than whats normal so I took a test and it was positive. My doctor had me come in 2 weeks later and I was 6 weeks pregnant so I knew when I was 4 weeks along.

    My period isn't due for a little over a week and have been having intercourse with my boyfriend.
    I have also just starting working out on a regular basis to get rid of some of the baby weight i still have left from my first pregnancy.

      Sometimes they can get tender before your period and since your period is about a week away, that is the correct time period in which they normally can get tender. Has happened to me a couple times, but is rare enough that I start wondering too.

  34. QUESTION:
    Could my overactive bladder be my first sign of pregnancy?
    Lately i have had a very over active bladder. I have been peeing a lot. Over ten times a day. My pee is not cloudy or bloody. also it does not burn. Could this be a sign of pregnancy. my last period ended about twelve days ago. and i have not forgotten to take any of my pills. what could be wrong with me, pregnancy? i have tested myself twice for a pregnancy but they both were negative. was this too soon to test?

    • ANSWER:
      Way too soon to test. You ovulate around two weeks after your period. So if you are pregnant, you would have had to get pregnant like tonight at the earliest, which means you would have no symptoms yet. Wait another two weeks and then test, but I highly doubt you're pregnant.

    What was your very first sign of pregnancy - and how soon after ovulation did you experience it?
    We are about to start trying for number one so I am interested in what to look out for.

    ***excited!!!***

    • ANSWER:
      For most women (that includes me :) lol) my first clue was my missed period, then at about 6-8 weeks the other lovely symptoms follow, sore boobs (for some), morning sickness, fatigue (that was one big one for me), frequent urination (another big one for me), food aversions, heightened sense of smell, etc. Some women (about 30%) have implantation bleeding which would be light spotting around 7-10dpo the reason you don't typically have symptoms any earlier is because implantation usually doesn't occur until 7-10 dpo and then it take a bit for enough hormones to build up to cause any of the above symptoms, but every woman is different and if you implanted earlier, you may begin havin some symptoms a bit earlier, but not by a whole lot.....BEST of LUCK and LOTS of BABY DUST to you :)

    My boobs are pretty sore they don't kill by any means. They just hurt when I touch them, mostly near my armpit. My nipples don't hurt. My period is due on 2.18. When & where did your boobs starting hurting first? It's been like this for a few days now. Also what was ur CM like?
    CM- Cervix Mucus

    • ANSWER:
      i already answered this question earlier.... yes it was my first sign of pregnancy. the nipples didnt hurt until i had already missed my period. but the whole boob was swollen kinda and very tender, the left more than the right, especially under the armpit. i hope this helps and i hope u get ur answer so u stop asking it. also cm didnt really change much- after i missed my period i had a couple episodes of white creaminess, and it increased a lot after a couple weeks.
      but remember not to read too much into it cuz it could very well be a sign of pms as well. the more you think u are pregnant the more u can convince ur body and then u will make ur period late.

Fertility Time

Fertility After 30 - How Age Affects Fertility Scientific studies have shown that women who delay first-time pregnancy have decreased fertility after 30. Over the past several decades, weve seen many advances in birth control and the overall status of women in the workplace. Therefore, its no surprise that more and more young women are choosing to delay pregnancy until later on in life. In fact, some 20% of women are now giving birth to children after the age of 35.

But do these women have the same chance of getting pregnant as young women? Or does a womans ability to get pregnant decline after a certain age? Get the facts on that so-called "biological clock" and whether time is really running out!

Getting Pregnant After Age 30

Getting pregnant over 30 does not have to become a time of crisis and disappointment. Many couples before you have struggled with this issue and found a solution.

When a girl is born, she is already equipped with all the eggs she will ever use over 1 million to be exact (although this number declines to about 300,000 after puberty). However as women age, so too do their eggs, causing them to become increasingly susceptible to abnormalities which is why younger women have less of a chance of giving birth to babies with genetic birth defects, such as Downs Syndrome. They also have a reduced the risk of miscarriage, which is most commonly caused by egg abnormalities.

Women's fertility peaks between the ages of 22 to 26, and often declines after 30: a typical 30 year old woman has 12% of the ovarian reserve she was born with, and has only 3% at age 40. With a rise in women postponing pregnancy,this can create an infertility problem. Of women trying to get pregnant, without using fertility drugs or in vitro fertilization:

At age 30, 75% will get pregnant within one year, and 91% within four years.
At age 35, 66% will get pregnant within one year, and 84% within four years.
At age 40, 44% will get pregnant within one year, and 64% within four years.

Statistically speaking, the chances of pregnancy for women over 30 start to decline by about 3.5% per year. This rate continues to increase after the age of 40. After 45, however, experts say it is virtually impossible for a woman to conceive using exclusively her own eggs.

One possible reason for this lowered rate of fertility is a change in the pituitary glands production of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) the hormone that is responsible for the development of eggs during the menstrual cycle. As women age and their ability to become pregnant declines, levels of FSH start to rise, interfering with the ovaries ability to produce eggs.

To determine whether FSH is impeding a womans chances of conceiving, her doctor will likely perform a test on the third day of her menstrual cycle to check for levels of FSH. If these levels are consistently high, the patient is determined to have a very slight chance of becoming pregnant.

Thats why women over the age of 35 will generally undergo a fertility evaluation if they do not conceive after 6 months of having unprotected sex.

The Good News: The Advantages of Middleaged Motherhood

First and foremost, for women who have decided to wait until later on in life to begin having a family, you have the advantage of having added wisdom, stability and likely even financial security. Youve also probably had more time to foster a healthy relationship with your partner that will ensure your child a life of good parenting.

Furthermore, though many women over 35 do not experience trouble conceiving, for those who do, there simply has never been a more promising time for becoming pregnant. With so many recent medical advances in infertility treatments, there are more options than ever available to women of all ages that are having difficulty conceiving. From the more standard medical options to lifestyle modification, alternative therapies, youre sure to find one thats right for you!

Fertility Calendar Boy Or Girl

Conceive A Baby Boy Using An Ovulation Calculator
If you ever and your husband or wife are planning to have a child, an ovulation calculator is an superb tool to assistance you increase your chances of a successful conception.

What is an ovulation calculator?

An ovulation pregnancy calculator is simply a system to assist you calculate the nights while in which your partner is most in all likelihood being prepared for conception.

How does the ovulation calculator do this?

Ovulation determines your spouse's fertility, or her readiness to conceive. By calculating the day time when ovulation takes place, the pregnancy calculator predicts the optimum time period in the course of which intercourse will lead to a prosperous conception.

How does the ovulation calculator work?
Ovulation depends on your spouse's menstrual cycle, or the period between the very first days of two consecutive periods.

In practice on the other hand, this may well not be that exact. In many women, monthly period is irregular, or differs from the common 28-day cycle. Even so, most women with a 28- to 32-day cycle will ovulate between days or weeks 11 to 21 of their menstrual cycles.

Conceiving happens after the ovum, or egg, released by your husband or wife throughout ovulation, is fertilized by your sperm. While usually sperms remain alive for about 72 hours following intercourse, the ovum will probably survive for only about 24 hours.

The ovulation calculator thus helps you calculate the time period when intercourse with your wife or husband is most in all likelihood to make her pregnant.

Are there other methods to track ovulation?

o Cervical mucus: The amount of mucus increases and becomes alot more slippery for the duration of ovulation.

o Basal physique temperature: Just before ovulation, your spouse will experience a sudden drop in her basal physique temperature (measured immediately soon after she awakens). The subsequent rise in temperature will indicate ovulation, and will last until the end from the menstrual cycle.

Ovulation Predictor calculates the days to weeks during which your husband or wife is most in all likelihood to become ready for conception. Ovulation can determine your spouse's fertility, or her readiness to get pregnant.

    Have you heard any tricks to help conceive a girl?
    you people are ignorant. there are certain ways to help conceive a girl - YES I KNOW IT DEPENDS ON THE SPERM... YES I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT 100% ACCURATE...
    however if there is a way to help - then I will do it.
    I have heard eating low calorie diet
    **boy sperms are weaker than girls and can't servive as well in a lower calorie diet atmosphere.
    **to conceive a boy - eat high calorie diet, only have sex on ovulation day... eat foods high in potassium

    THank you Amanda.... truly you understoo the question - unlike the rest of the ignorants that attempted to give an answer on their own OPINION...

    • ANSWER:
      Well The men carry the sex of the baby. The male sperms are faster and the female are stronger. If you are aiming for a girl, try a little after your ovulation date. As the male rush down to the egg which will be a farther journey a bit after your prime ovulation date, they may die off or tire out, but the famales although slower, they are stronger and more likely to survive the journey. babyzone.com

      Well i just read your added details and it looks like you already knew what i had told you. If you want a girl, there is nothing wrong with trying to tip the scales in that direction, i never for a moment thought that you would love your baby any less if it were a boy so we arent ALL against you here.Good luck and i hope it all works out.

  3. QUESTION:
    Hoping to get Pregnant?
    So we have TTC for 8 months- we already have a 2 yr old boy. Our other son was a surprise. So we are in new territory here but I am trying to be patient :)

    I would love to have a girl, one of each- but of course a healthy baby boy/girl is priority. Anyways, my fertility calendar say BD today the 7th, 8th and 9th...for a girl - Either I do not get the reproductive system or what, but how will the sperm get into my cervix if its not open yet. I do not ovulate until the 12th. My last period was 9/1 (8:30pm) and before that 8/5 (I woke up with it) I have an OPK and it said I ovulated in August on day 13 and 14 of my cycle. I just want to make sure we are doing it right..I think my luteal phase is 15 days long. Any advice on how to maximize our chances of conceiving a baby is helpful. (I do not chart BBT- because I had difficulty seeing a pattern in past months)

    • ANSWER:
      The gender-choosing methods (which don't always work) rely on the speed and heartiness of the sperm. First, it's important to remember that your cervix is always open a tiny bit, even if you can't feel it. It softens and opens more as you approach ovulation, but sperm can get through at other times during your cycle. Y-sperm (the ones that make boys) are faster, but don't survive as well in the vagina. X-sperm (the ones that make girls) move more slowly through the vagina and cervix, but live longer. The idea behind having sex now , a little further away from ovulation for a girl is that the sperm that survive will be more likely to carry X chromosomes for a girl, and will be waiting for the egg when it is released. Having sex closer to ovulation means that the sperm that get to the egg first will be more likely to be the faster moving, Y sperm.

  4. QUESTION:
    TTC a Baby?
    So we have TTC for 8 months- we already have a 2 yr old boy. Our other son was a surprise. So we are in new territory here but I am trying to be patient :)

    I would love to have a girl, one of each- but of course a healthy baby boy/girl is priority.

(I do not chart BBT- because I had difficulty seeing a pattern in past months)

    • ANSWER:
      The sperm that carry the X chromosome live longer and are slower swimmers than the sperm that carry the Y chromosome. So if you have sex before you ovulate by the time you do ovulate you the girl swimmers will be there to fertilize the egg as soon as the egg is released. That is the theory.

  5. QUESTION:
    help me with some fertile questions!?
    http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator?d=1328158800&cl=24&t=boy-girl

    i had sex on the 2/1 and 2/4 it says my 1st fertile day is monday 2/6- 2/12
    but i was already experiencing (cramping, backaches, headaches, tiredness, nausea low appetite) since monday. i checked my cervix weds it was mid way soft open and wet the discharge creamy.
    he did ejaculate that day before we had sex( not sure if he urinated right after or not) what do you think??? we do plan to have sex saturday that's the day before ovulation.

    • ANSWER:
      What is your question? It's hard to figure out. Are you trying to become pregnant or avoid pregnancy?

      Have you ever experienced (cramping, backaches, headaches, tiredness, nausea low appetite) when you weren't pregnant? Lets say around the time of your Period? Those could be unrelated, couldn't they?

      It doesn't matter if he ejaculated before you had sex, it certainly doesn't matter that he urinated after he ejaculated and before you had sex. If you are having unprotected sex, you could become pregnant.
      Even if you are using birth control, when you engage in intercourse you do have a chance of getting pregnant. Even if a man ejaculates, urinates, ejaculates again, it only takes ONE viable sperm to get pregnant... We plan on having sex the day before ovulation? This sounds like you are trying to avoid getting pregnant. Do you know how long sperm remains alive?

      I find your question quite confusing. Further details may help. i certainly hope you are not having unprotected sex and hoping that you don't get pregnant. If that is the case, it's only a matter of time before you do become pregnant.

  6. QUESTION:
    about my ovulation PLEASE HELP!?
    okay i found out i miscarried on the 23rd of oct at 6 weeks and the doctor told me to wait a month.. so i am it has been a month recent period took 41 days to arrive from the day i miscarried so was i probably late because of the miscarriage like my period probably arent that far apart are they and i also was wondering should i fallow this ovulation calendar or do thhe sex every other day and have sex 3 days in a row when i ovulate i am just curious it took me 8 months to try last time and it was my first baby but like i said i lost it.. here is the calendar i have if it doesnt show up right make sure the day of first period is 12/3/2011 and the cycle is 28 days apart and i do not care if its boy or girl sorry if this is confusing im trying no to worry about it to much im just wanting to know because i want to be pregnant again..its hard not to think about it..

    http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    • ANSWER:
      Okay so their are many different things to do to find out if you are ovulating.
      1- is doing the ovulation calendar.
      2- is watch for mucus- egg white stringy = ovulation
      3- is buy an ovulation kit. They cost about 40 dollars you urinate on it just like a hpt every morning and it will tell you yes you are or no you are not.
      4- is to feel for your cervix, i have found this to be the best! If you use your middle finger to insert into your vagina you should feel a "penis" like organ that is your cervix. If it is low and you can not put the tip of your finger in it then you are not ovulating. if you can hardly reach and you can get the tip of your finger in it then YOU ARE!! :) make sure to clean your hands ( of course haha) to not introduce new bacteria because this could cause infection. i really hope this helps you! i had a miscarriage last year and it was upsetting, i cant wait to hold that test and see a big PREGNANT!!! :)
      oh also when you feel for your cervix if it feels like the tip of your nose then its closed. It if feels like your lip then you are.
      Also when i did my research it said that the semen can live from 3-5 days and that if you are your partner are having sex every day or every other day he could start shooting blanks.

  7. QUESTION:
    I finally ovulated?
    I have a 27 day cycle and accoring to my calendar I should have ovulated on the 13th day of my cycle. I am using the CB Easy fertility monitor. Last month I ovulated right on time, we BD'd but with little success on conceiving. So we tried again this month but I didn't ovulate until today, day 16. We BD on day 13-(Thursday) We are hoping to conveive a girl, but boy or girl we will be thrilled with a baby. I hope my chances of conceiving this month are still favorable. Because I ovulated later than expected, My LMP was 9/1 and my projected day of next period is 9/28- due to late ovulation will that change?
    We have TTC for 9 months
    We already have 2 yr old son

    • ANSWER:
      YES. Ovulation dictates the day your period starts. So if you ovulate late, your period will come later. If you ovulate early, your period will come sooner. Your period will now be due about two weeks from Day 16. You may be looking at a 30-day cycle this time.

      Also, you want to have sex during your ENTIRE fertile window, which includes 3 days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. For this cycle that would have meant daily sex on CD 13, CD14, CD15, CD 16 (ovulation day!), and CD 17. If you had kept to that schedule your chances would have been pretty good for this cycle. I'm not saying pregnancy isn't possible this time, but chances aren't as high as they could have been.

      Good luck.

  9. QUESTION:
    Help on conception please(greatly appreciated)?
    Hello, I am a 20 year old girl with a 27 year old boyfriend. We've been dating a while and both seem to want a child. I have a few questions that need answering and would be appreciative for the help. I have a WomanLog calendar on my iPod touch and It shows when I am ovulating... But also shows fertility dates. Is that the same thing or should we try on a certain date. Second, we chose a name for a girl that we happen to love but my mother doesn't seem to like it... It's Arabella Renée. She also doesn't like the boy name we chose Noah Thomas. What do you guys think of the name, and should I care?

    • ANSWER:
      You both SEEM to want a child or you DO? If anyone isn't 100% sure then it's not time yet.

      Your iPod only shows when you SHOULD be ovulating if your cycle is "normal", so if you want to be 100% sure of your ovulation time you have to track your temp, use ovulation tests, or track your cervical mucus. No device knows for sure.

      Sperm can survive for UP TO 5 days in a woman's body, the egg only 12-24 hours.

      Your fertile window is, therefore, from about 5 days before you ovulate until about 1 day after. You should abstain from sex a few days before your window so he can build up sperm, then during have sex every other day or every day.
      The sex should not just be baby making sex. You should be in the moment and enjoy each other still. Trying tends to cause women not to get pregnant.

Fetal Gender Predictor

Baby Gender Prediction Tips It is absolutely natural for couples to wonder what their baby's gender will be. In some cases, they would even resort to online baby gender quizzes or baby calculators just so they can compute the odds of conceiving a girl vis-a-vis a boy. Baby gender prediction can be done through several methods some of which providing 100% accuracy and supported by scientific studies while others remain mere tell-tales. If you are not a big fan of surprises and you want to find out about your baby's gender right away, you may want to consider some of these baby gender prediction tips.

The Old Wives Tale Despite the technologies that we have today, there remains a wide range of superstitions regarding baby gender prediction. The accuracy of these old techniques vary widely but they can be a fun way to compute the odds of having a girl or a boy. For instance, some couples believe that you can detect your baby's gender through the Drano prediction method. This technique involves checking the urine color after it is added to a cup filled with Drano. A dark urine color is an indication that you are going to have a boy while urine that does not change its color indicates a girl. Another popular baby gender prediction belief is through your wedding ring. You dangle the wedding ring over your belly. If it swings in a circular motion, you are most likely to conceive a girl. If it swings back and forth, there is greater possibility for a boy.

Baby gender prediction test The baby gender prediction test is best for parents who want prefer Science over tell-tales. The kit determines baby's sex by tracing the amount of active fetal chromosomal DNA in your blood sample. This exam can be taken within your first five weeks after conception. It is believed that the test surpasses 80-90% accuracy rate of ultrasounds.

Ultrasound If your baby is positioned correctly, you can detect your baby's gender approximately 16 weeks after conception. An ultrasound is a medical method used during pregnancy to detect possible baby defects, to accurately count and determine your due date and to check the growth, size and the gender of your baby. The exam makes use of sound waves which are usually above the range of human hearing. These waves facilitate the creation of images of the organs within the mother's body. As the waves bounce back from your body back to the machine, the reflection of the waves is analyzed by the computer and is turned into pictures. If you want a more advance output, you can take a 3D ultrasound and a keepsake picture or video of your unborn baby. While the ultrasound has proven to be 95% accurate, there remains a very few situations wherein the wrong gender is advised.

Depending on your ethical considerations and beliefs, there are a wide range of baby gender prediction tests to consider. Accuracy; however, is most likely to be attained through science and medical techniques.

Then i heard that if the fetal heartbeat is high its a girl and low a boy and my babys heartrate has been in the 160's...so i dont know i would just like to know other peoples experiences...Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Some were right and some were wrong. The one that was right though was the heart rate. My lil ones heart rate was 152-158 and its a girl. Good luck. Ultrasound is the only correct way to tell.

Fertility Timing

Can The Day That You Have Sex Influence Whether You Have A Boy Or A Girl?
I often get emails asking me if the time of the month that intercourse or sex takes place helps to determine or influence your baby's sex or whether you get a girl or a boy baby. The short answer to this question is that yes, when you have sex can definitely can influence your future baby's gender. And, how you have intercourse and the PH that the sperm encounters once this happens is equally important. I'll discuss this more in the following article.

The Basics Of Fertility Timing: I'm sure that you're probably well aware of this, but I'm going to mention it anyway. You have a very short period of time (approximately 5-7 days) where you are able to get pregnant. This happens when your egg develops / ripens and becomes ready to be fertilized. The next phase of this happens when the man's sperm attempts to fertilize the waiting egg. Both the egg and the sperm have their own short life spans which affects how long you are technically fertile for. So, while it can be natural and fun to have intercourse throughout the month, only the intercourse that you have for approximately one week of your cycle can or will result in a pregnancy.

Remember when I mentioned the life span of the sperm? Well, there are two types X and Y. X sperm develops into girl babies and Y sperm eventually becomes boy babies. Speaking of life span, the Y lives for the longest of the two by far. Y or boy sperm can only live for a few days at the most.

Having Sex Early In Your Cycle Is More Likely To Produce A Girl Baby: So I've already told you that the girl sperm is the most hardy of the two types. That's why women who have sex earlier in their fertility cycle are more likely to become pregnant with girls. In a real life scenario, let's say that your first day of menstruation (having your period) was what we'll call day one. And, to make the estimate easy, I'll say that the first day of ovulation (when your egg can be fertilized and you can become pregnant) will be day fourteen. (Now, many women guesstimate the midway point as the ovulation day when in fact many women ovulate much earlier or later soit can be a mistake tojust arbitrarily assume this.)

So, let's say that you begin having sex or intercourse on day 11. This would be optimal to get a daughter because the girl sperm have no problem living until day 14 or even day 15, but many of the boy sperm would not make it that far. Most of them would've already died off by day 14. Of course, there are always going to be some that are a bit stronger and some will get through. But, there are other things that you can do to take care of the rest, and you've already greatly increased your odds for success.

Having Intercourse Later In Your Cycle Will Most Likely Get You A Boy Baby: Let's stay with the above scenario. Let's say that we waited until day 14 or even day 15 to have intercourse. By this time, you may well still have some X or female sperm left. However, the boy sperm (Y) are the fastest of the two, by far. So, by waiting, you've given the healthy Y sperm the opportunity to use their speed. And if you wait until day 15, some of the X sperm will have made their exit, increasing your chances even more.

I hope that it's fairly obvious that accuracy with your timing is very important. I've used the mid way point as an example only. But many women ovulate as early as day 9-10 or as late as day 25. So it's very important that you find a reliable way to figure out exactly when your fertility cycle starts and ends.

How You Have SexOrIntercourse Is As Important As When You Have It: We've talked about timing, now let's talk about positions. Different positions can also increase your odds of getting the gender that you want. For example, using rear entry positions or those that provide deeper penetration can help make you more favorable to get a son because you're giving the fast boy sperm a quicker trip. On the opposite side, the traditional missionary position or others which allow for shallow positioning make it more likely that you will have a girl because the X girls have no problem with this distance.

Another thing that you'll need to look at is your acidity. You want a high PH for a daughter and a low one for a son.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for douche recipes and food PH lists (to change your PH), information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Fertility Calendar Calculator

Fertility Calculator - How to More Accurately Predict When You Are Most Fertile
Have you been trying to have a baby? Many couples who try to conceive have problems becoming pregnant because they cannot pinpoint exactly when ovulation occurs.

Click Here to discover the "Secrets" to Getting Pregnant and making it Easier to Conceive!

A womans fertility window is twenty four to forty eight hours long. However, you can try to conceive three days before ovulation and two days after ovulation to increase your chances of conception.

Many women have a hard time determining their ovulation days because their menstrual cycles can be longer or shorter each month. A fertility calculator is a great tool that can give women a rough estimate of when they should engage in sexual intercourse to try and become pregnant.

The calculator asks you the date if your last menstrual period, how many days long your cycle generally is, and how long your luteal phase is. Some fertility calculators will also ask you if you want to conceive a boy or a girl so that they can help you conceive the gender of your choosing.

After this information is entered into the calculator, you will be given results that are dates which you are most likely to conceive on. Most calculators will give you dates for at least three to six months so that you can plan in advance.

If you are trying to get pregnant then you should use a fertility calculator, it is a great way to help aid in the fertility and conception process. You can also use the calculator in conjunction with ovulation tests so that you can make sure that you are timing your intercourse correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    We are trying to have a child. We used fertility calendar but still not effective, my period is regular.?
    My partner is trying to have a child, we used fertility calculator and my period is regular. My partner had already a child. What are the other ways to have child.?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Butterfly Girl,

      The answers already given here give you a fair bit of advice, especially relating to how old you are and how long you've been trying.

      One thing no-one has mentioned so far is whether your lifestyle is inhibiting your ability to conceive.

      If you and your partner lead stressful lives, perhaps with responsible jobs or your own business, with constant phone calls, meetings, customers or clients to please, or a demanding boss to keep happy, hurried snacks instead of a proper meal, and so on, then expecting your body to be in a state of optimum fertility at the end of each day is perhaps asking a little too much of it.

      Stress is a fertility-killer, so see if there is any way you and your partner can reduce this. It may be difficult, especially if you have careers and a high-flying job or business on which you depend financially, but there is usually a way, such as scheduling some holiday time when you can both unwind for two or three weeks.

      Diet is another factor that can influence your fertility more than you would have thought. Try to ensure, while you are trying to conceive, that you both eat food of at least reasonable quality, rather than junk food and take-away meals. Alcohol intake should be kept under review, and of course no drugs, and cigarettes only in moderation, if at all.

      This is often the price you have to pay, I'm afraid, but at least it's not an onerous price and is quite cheap financially.

      There are more tips at the resource given. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours and if you act sensibly I'm sure you'll soon be rewarded.

  2. QUESTION:
    Question about fertility calendars?
    I was hoping that this would be the month that I would get pregnant but my hopes were dashed today when my menstrual period arrived. For the past couple of months I've been using online fertility calendars/calculators. I don't know which is the best one to use so I use about 5 different ones and I always get conflicting dates for fertile days. My question is which fertility calendar is the best to use? Also are there any online communities/forums for people who are trying to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      stop trying so hard trust me when the time is right you'll get your precious gift I'm trying get pregnet to and somebody told me that I just had to Relax and STOP THINKING ABOUT IT SO MUCH: If You have any deas for me tell me Please

  3. QUESTION:
    Fertility calculator keeps working the same even when the woman takes the pill?
    I mean, if there is a mistake (ie. woman forgets to take the pill or takes it 12 hours later than usual) during the natural "fertile days" according to the calendar, the chances of being pregnant are higher? or, on the contrary, the calculator doesnt work at all when a woman takes the pill?
    Example: on a 28 days period, first day of bleeding is feb. 1. Naturally speaking, fertile days would be feb. 13 - 17. If she forgot to take her daily pill on the 15th, and took it 12 hrs later, chances of pregnancy are higher? or do the work the same no matter which day?
    I hope I made myself clear. Thanx for ur answers.

  4. QUESTION:
    Could I be pregnant?? I had unprotected sex on my most fertile days!!?
    The first day of my last period was June 26th 2008. I read that my most fertile days would be July 9th-11th. Now that I think back I remember that I had unprotected sex July9th and 10th. My boyfriend did not pull out or anything. We had sex between 6-10 times between the 9th and the 10th. If anyone has any useful information and would write to me that would be very helpful! I have been on google reading about ovulation and I did an online fertility calculator/calendar. It calculated that my best time to get pregnant was between the 9th and 11th I believe. I'm a little nervous but open to the idea of being pregnant. Anyone have anything to say?

    • ANSWER:
      Probably pregnant, yes.

      Wait til you skip a period then take a test.

  5. QUESTION:
    Implantation bleeding but no blood?
    Okay, so I did this ovulation calculator and click on this link --> http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    It says that I'm supposed to implant today, but I have mild cramping yesterday but no blood yesterday or yet today. Does this sound correct, also I almost passed out about 2-3 days ago. Is that normal in very early pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      Not everybody get's implantation bleeding. Sometimes it's very few women who do get it. I didn't get it, and there are plenty of others out there who didn't either. So don't stress it. Just wait until you miss your period and then take a test.

  6. QUESTION:
    Could I be pregnant? Almost fainting in very early pregnancy (2wks maybe) ?
    Okay, so I did this ovulation calculator and click on this link --> http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    It says that I'm supposed to implant today, but I have mild cramping yesterday but no blood yesterday or yet today. Does this sound correct, also I almost passed out about 2-3 days ago. Is that normal in very early pregnancy?
    and I have frequent urination as well.

    • ANSWER:
      don't trust those online calculator things. Those go based on when a female should ovulate. Women can ovulate at different times. There is a big difference between ovulation and menstruation which is why a woman can still get pregnant during her period. You wouldn't have any types of symptoms yet not even nausea that is because you are not considered pregnant. You have to wait till the egg has implanted itself. I didn't bleed during my implanting at all or if I did I didn't notice because it was so mild. If your passing out that is definitely not normal and you should go to a doctor because you could be malnourished or something may be wrong. What causes a female to urinate often is the pressure of the baby on the uterus , your baby if you were pregnant is not bigger then a few bundled cells. If you got an ultrasound you'd see and empty sac with maybe a dot in the middle, so there is no way you'd have the frequent urination. It sounds more like your just over thinking this, relax and try just taking a cool shower. If you think about it to much or stress you could make yourself miss a period even if you arn't pregnant.

  7. QUESTION:
    What is the chance of pregnancy !!!?
    http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator
    I USE THIS CALENDER
    Today i had UNPROTECTED SEX AND HE EJACULATED INSIDE OF ME . What are the chances of pregnancy
    last period was September (23) Cycle length is (30 Days)- and lasts 5 days

    • ANSWER:
      Chances are 50/50 I think they are pretty high at this time. Since it was 14-16 days after frist day of period. You may have been ovulating around this time. If you're trying to get pregnant, keep on having sex the next few days. If you don't get pregnant this time have sex a few days before ovulation a few days after. If you don't want to get pregnant, get Plan B pill since you're ovulating Plan B really doesn't help from stopping a pregnancy IF the sperm has already made it to the egg. then you know the drill stop having unprotected sex.

      If it's white as in CLEAR cervical mucous, and it stretches an inch between pointer finger and thumb without breaking, then yes, you are ovulating.

  9. QUESTION:
    about my ovulation PLEASE HELP!?
    okay i found out i miscarried on the 23rd of oct at 6 weeks and the doctor told me to wait a month.. so i am it has been a month recent period took 41 days to arrive from the day i miscarried so was i probably late because of the miscarriage like my period probably arent that far apart are they and i also was wondering should i fallow this ovulation calendar or do thhe sex every other day and have sex 3 days in a row when i ovulate i am just curious it took me 8 months to try last time and it was my first baby but like i said i lost it.. here is the calendar i have if it doesnt show up right make sure the day of first period is 12/3/2011 and the cycle is 28 days apart and i do not care if its boy or girl sorry if this is confusing im trying no to worry about it to much im just wanting to know because i want to be pregnant again..its hard not to think about it..

    http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    • ANSWER:
      Okay so their are many different things to do to find out if you are ovulating.
      1- is doing the ovulation calendar.
      2- is watch for mucus- egg white stringy = ovulation
      3- is buy an ovulation kit. They cost about 40 dollars you urinate on it just like a hpt every morning and it will tell you yes you are or no you are not.
      4- is to feel for your cervix, i have found this to be the best! If you use your middle finger to insert into your vagina you should feel a "penis" like organ that is your cervix. If it is low and you can not put the tip of your finger in it then you are not ovulating. if you can hardly reach and you can get the tip of your finger in it then YOU ARE!! :) make sure to clean your hands ( of course haha) to not introduce new bacteria because this could cause infection. i really hope this helps you! i had a miscarriage last year and it was upsetting, i cant wait to hold that test and see a big PREGNANT!!! :)
      oh also when you feel for your cervix if it feels like the tip of your nose then its closed. It if feels like your lip then you are.
      Also when i did my research it said that the semen can live from 3-5 days and that if you are your partner are having sex every day or every other day he could start shooting blanks.

    Ladies I have officially started my 2ww. Just a quick recap I took Provera 10mg and Clomid 50mg Days 3-7. My last period was 5/31 - 6/6. I didn't receive my ovulation strips yet so Im assuming I did ovulate Im not sure all I can say is I BD on the 10,11,12 and I was suppose to ovulate on the 14th so Im having faith that I do get BFP this month..

      Cool. It seems like it's been going pretty fast since I've been watching your updates. Just try to stay relaxed and sane.

      PS: I think the 25th is way too soon to test. I think you should try to wait until July 1st.

  14. QUESTION:
    When would we need to stop having sex in order to conceive a girl?
    me and my bf been trying for a yr to get pregnant,we both just had fertility tests done and both mine and his test are normal. my ob/gyn told us we can continue trying. we wanna have a girl but are trying to fig out when we should stop having sex. i just got my period on july 10,2011 and my cycle is 30 days. we looked at this ovulation website to help fig out when we should try but its confusing us: http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    if we are trying for a girl,when should we stop having sex?

    • ANSWER:
      When trying to conceive a certain sex there are 3 factors you need to consider. First is diet. If you are after a boy try eating foods that are high potassium & sodium, by eating these types of foods will help your body provide an alkali environment. For a girl it is foods high in Calcium & Magnesium as an Acidic environment is best

      Don't forget that timing of intercourse is also crucial as is the sexual position.

      I too also went on sites and found i wasn't ovulating when they said i should be as everyone is different, if you don't know exactly when you do ovulate it is best to buy some test strips so you can confirm when you are.

      The best time to conceive a girl is several days before you ovulate and the best time for a boy is right on ovulation.

      No method is 100%, but the prince or princess guide has had a 94% success rate and i have found it really helpful in planning my next one. I have 2 boys and would really like a girl.

  15. QUESTION:
    Do all Women Notice when?
    Do all females notices when they are ovulating??? I know what are the signs of ovulation. I haven't had the EWCM. I checked my cervix and it felt wet. Did you notice when your ovulating?
    Today & tomorrow are my most fertile days I ovulate Monday. I BD last night and the day before. What do you think???

    *** Reminder this month I used Provera 10mg and Clomid 50mg Days 3-7***
    *** Last Period was 5/31/10-6/6/10

    • ANSWER:
      The answer to your question is NO. Not all women know when they are ovulating and some don't ovulate at all. They get their periods but just because they get that, doesn't mean they have or are going to ovulate. My periods were irregular and I was never able to tell when I was ovulating. Come to find out... I wasn't ovulating at all which is why they prescribed the Metformin which helped to get my periods regulated and was supossed to help with ovulation but that didn't help so they prescribed me the Clomid and I got pregnant on my 3rd round. Good luck to you.

    http://www.momswhothink.com/option,com_womancalendar/action,render/josDate,2010-07-25/josMP,30/josML,4.html

    • ANSWER:
      Nothing showed up but when you ovulate usually depends on how many days your cycle is and when your last menstrual period was. Its usually about half way between the first day of your last period and the day before your next period starts. A regular woman with a normal cycle in the best condition having sex at exactly the right time has on a 20-25 percent chance of getting pregnant. Most people also believe that having sex as much as possible increases your chance to get pregnant but that isn't alway the case because the more often you have sex the it lowers the amount of sperm and he could also be ejaculating immature sperm Your best bet is to wait to have sex and well doing anything that would make him ejaculate until the day before ovulation and the day of for your best chances.

  17. QUESTION:
    help me with some fertile questions!?
    http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator?d=1328158800&cl=24&t=boy-girl

    i had sex on the 2/1 and 2/4 it says my 1st fertile day is monday 2/6- 2/12
    but i was already experiencing (cramping, backaches, headaches, tiredness, nausea low appetite) since monday. i checked my cervix weds it was mid way soft open and wet the discharge creamy.
    he did ejaculate that day before we had sex( not sure if he urinated right after or not) what do you think??? we do plan to have sex saturday that's the day before ovulation.

    • ANSWER:
      What is your question? It's hard to figure out. Are you trying to become pregnant or avoid pregnancy?

      Have you ever experienced (cramping, backaches, headaches, tiredness, nausea low appetite) when you weren't pregnant? Lets say around the time of your Period? Those could be unrelated, couldn't they?

      It doesn't matter if he ejaculated before you had sex, it certainly doesn't matter that he urinated after he ejaculated and before you had sex. If you are having unprotected sex, you could become pregnant.
      Even if you are using birth control, when you engage in intercourse you do have a chance of getting pregnant. Even if a man ejaculates, urinates, ejaculates again, it only takes ONE viable sperm to get pregnant... We plan on having sex the day before ovulation? This sounds like you are trying to avoid getting pregnant. Do you know how long sperm remains alive?

      I find your question quite confusing. Further details may help. i certainly hope you are not having unprotected sex and hoping that you don't get pregnant. If that is the case, it's only a matter of time before you do become pregnant.

  18. QUESTION:
    Whats the best way to figure out fertility time?
    We are TTC so Ive been researching all the "fertility calculators" and "ovulation calendars" online but they all seem to come out with VERY different days. I got off the Pill in June and got my period a day late in July, only lasted 2 days (kinda odd), Got it again on time in August, but was 3 days late this past month. So I'm not too sure how long I should say my cycles are...which is making this difficult when trying to figure out when our best days to try are. Any advice??

    • ANSWER:
      just keep trying! when your period regulates try calculating then, but hopefully you will be prego by then. good luck!

    if my gf puts her nuvaring in a few days late will it change the timing of ovulation and can she get pregnant?
    I looked at an ovulation calendar and it says she is in her most fertile period now. she didnt put the ring in after her last period. will she probably ovulate on time and is there a good change of conception if we have sex during her peak fertility period based on an ovulation calculator?

  21. QUESTION:
    Pregnant u think? Fertility calculators?
    Ovulation calendars?
    do you guys think this is an accurate way to determine if you're really prego before you had a missed period?
    first day of period june 28
    intercourse the 8,9,12 july

    and this is what they predict:
    MONTH 1:
    6/28/08 - First day of your cycle
    7/09/08 - A little bit fertile
    7/10/08 - Fertile
    7/11/08 - VERY fertile
    7/12/08 - Time to ovulate

    7/22/08 - A home pregnancy test may work now.

    according to this i'm supposed to be prego...what do you think? is this entrusting?

    • ANSWER:
      i dont because nobody ovulates the same. Everyone had different cycles. The easiest way to check is to take the first response 5 day before your period home test. To find out when you are ovulating take a home ovualtion kit.

    confusing question about fertility?
    Ill try to make this sound as uncomplicated as I can so bare with me :) . My last period was on may 31. The online calculator says I should be having another period on June 29. The online ovulation calendar says I should have ovulated from June 11-June 16. So today, I bought a 3 pack of first response pregnancy test that lets you test 6 days before your period. It also came with a fertility test. I was just playing around with it b/c I really didnt need it b/c I was done ovulating. Well I took it tonight and it was 2 lines meaning im ovulating. It was a faint-medium faint line but it was there. How can this be if I was already done ovulating and im about to start my next period like Monday.

  23. QUESTION:
    Fertility and pregnancy question?
    I had read an article online that, if you have sex a day or two before you are extremely fertile on your ovulation calculator, you actually have a higher chance of getting pregnant, because sperm lives up to two-three days inside your body, and your fertility windows are only open so long, so its better if they are waiting to get in that window, other than having sex right when you are fertile considering you may miss when that window happens to be open. Does this stand true, or false?
    And how much higher of a chance this may be if anyone knows here?
    I had sex on Feb 20th, and my ovluation calendar indicated my fertile days are yesterday and today.

  24. QUESTION:
    can i get pregnant...please help only if you can?
    last night my boyfriend and i were messing around a little bit, and he put the head of his dick (maybe an inch or two deeper) inside me. we weren't protected, so i made sure to pull after a few seconds. we did this a few times. but he did not come inside me. i know about pre-cum, but i honestly don't think he was in long enough or deep enough for that to get me pregnant (i could be wrong) also, i looked online at a bunch of fertility calculators and ovulation calendars that said my most fertile time was between september 12-16, and about 24 hours after that, the egg dies. so if this happened on september 19th, how likely are my chances of getting pregnant? please if you are a doctor, nurse, are just very knowledgeable, please answer this. i am very worried and i am not expecting my period for another week.

    • ANSWER:
      Chances are if your period is due in a week you're already in your luteal phase and would have ovulated a week ago, and therefore won't be pregnant. However any time a penis comes into direct, unprotected contact with a vagina there is a chance of a pregnancy. Not only that but STIs and HIV are spread through unprotected sex.

      Take emergency contraception to make sure, and use contraception in future.

  25. QUESTION:
    ttc looking online for a calendar?
    im looking online for a sort of journal of sorts that i keep keep track of my basal temps and have it add up into a calculator and i know there are alot of premade things but my periods are irregular and thats why i finally broke down with the thermometer and i wanna get all this on track before my husband gets home from afghanistan as our doctor isn't paying attention to my files about my fertility problems gotta love them military doctors lol jk not all are like this however any website that will let me write down my basal temp and add it up for me daily would be great thank you oh and i know my grammar sux but i promise you will survive so go ahead and waste your time telling me to add a period and such ill just laugh and take the best answer to those who actually give me one
    as before mentioned ovulation testing is rather difficult if i have an irregular period and no symptoms so tracking it is what i need so i know i had sex on the right day as me and my husband have a very healthy sex life no point in spending lots of money on tests that will all say negative for a few weeks then miss the day that i do cause i test everyday but that one ive had 40 day cycles before so its hard to determine ovulation

    • ANSWER:
      Fertility Friend seems to be very popular. It has a great monthly chart where you can track your temps, cervical fluid consistency, cramps, etc. And its free :)

      And in reference to the above answer, you can also track your ovulation test results on fertility friend.

  26. QUESTION:
    What is the best website to track ovulation?
    My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant. I've been using some sites that offer an ovulation calculator/calendar. I've been using 3 different sites and all 3 of don't come up with the same ovulation dates (which is kind of annoying because I don't know which one I should be following). These are the sites I've been using:

    fertility.com
    americanpregnancy.com
    mymonthlycycles.com

    Which one of these sites would be considered more accurate? Which of these sites is the best one? Are there any other sites that would be considered better?
    My period in April was on April 24 and my period in May was on May 24 so when would my ovulation day be in June? How exactly do you figure out when your ovulation day is?

    • ANSWER:
      Try to use this ovulation calendar tool http://www.eovulation.com/ovulation-calendar/ to trace your cycle and find the date of ovulation.

  27. QUESTION:
    BFP test... pretty early....?
    I tested VERY positive on Dec. 12th and the first day of my last period was Nov. 14th. According to an ovulation calculator/calendar thing online, I was 3 weeks, 6 days. That's pretty early for such a quick positive isnt it? This is my first. Was on fertility drugs for 6 months. I had nausea and dizziness about a week prior to the positive. My last period was completely normal, not light, short or anything. Solid 6 days and was just like any other. I took a Clearblue digital first thing in the morning, popped up pregnant in like 45 seconds if that. Then took another later in the afternoon with the lines, and the positive showed before the negative. havent had my first appointment yet obviously, that's not for another 3 1/2 weeks. So I was wondering has anybody had anything like this? Twins maybe? I have twin first cousins and my mother's grandmother had mulitples after multiples, but none survived, being that it was like forever ago. Nausea and fatigue is pretty much all I'm getting right now. Irregular bowel movements, but that's to be expected. Just looking for some insight. Thanks in advance.
    I also should add, I've been disgustingly gassy, lol. Its awful, feel like i have to go almost aaaaall the time. As well as peeing every 5 minutes practically.

    • ANSWER:
      i had my BFP 8 DPO. And i was 3 weeks, and yes thats super early. my HCG is high and multiples run in my family so im getting an early ultra sound to see how many babies in 2 weeks. at 3weeks, 3 days my HCG was 124, two days later it was 260. normal HCG during your 3rd week is 5-50, 50 being on the high side, which is why you cant get a positive test so ealy most of the time. I would ask your dr to check your HCG and maybe get an US.

  28. QUESTION:
    Can you help with these ovulation dates?
    My cycles are 22 days long, with periods of around 8 days. The "ovulation calculator" said that my most fertile days (based on my current period, which started on August 2) would be August 7 to August 12, or days 6 to 11 of my cycle. This means that I will have my period during HALF of my fertile window! This didn't really make sense to me for a couple of reasons. How could an embryo implant very successfully just in time to miss all the nourishing blood in my uterus? Also, the texture of CM is supposed to resemble raw egg whites during ovulation. I am familiar with this consistency, but it occurs usually around days 11-15 of my cycle. Is it more likely that I ovulate during days 6 -11, or during days 11-15, based on the observations I have of my body.

    If I did ovulate around days 6-11, this could cause many many fertility issues for me. I want a baby so desperately, yet in the Bible it says that it is a sin to have sex while having your period(I am a very religious Lutheran). If it is a sin to have sex during the time the "ovulation calendar" told me, it is very unlikely that I would ever get pregnant. I am hoping that my body is just different from most peoples and ovulates around days 11-15 of my cycle, like my CM indicates. What do you think?

      i have been usin that as i have a long cycle of 32 days, its real easy to use aswell. Or get a BBT chart :)

      good luck

  29. QUESTION:
    Could I be pregnant??
    On the night of July 24th, 2009 I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I am 23 and my boyfriend is 26, we're both college educated and doing pretty well so it wouldn't be the end of the world if I were to get pregnant, but I just don't know what to look for.

    According to the internet's menstrual calculators, my cycle is 31 days.
    I also checked ovulation and fertility calendars that said my most fertile days were between July 25th (most fertile) and July 30th (ovulation).

    On July 27th, I became very tired and lightheaded (but maybe because of the heat, not too sure). And on July 30th I got really bad lower back pain, that I only usually get about 3 days or so before I get my period. This happened 2 weeks before my period is due (on or around August 10th).

    On August 3rd and August 4th I had really bad stomach cramps on and off. I never get cramps when I get my period, so that is out of the ordinary for me. Also, on the evening of Aug. 3rd, when I used the bathroom and wiped, there was a VERY little dot of pinkish blood. Some women might not have even noticed it if they weren't really looking. Other than that, no other major symptoms besides a headache here and there and sometimes feeling like I have to throw up, but I don't. Today, I've also been feeling pretty sluggish, feeling bloated, and having nagging lower back pain. It's not a sharp pain or anything. It's just a constant, throbbing, annoying pain.

    I've never been pregnant before and don't know what to expect. Only what I read online, but then again every woman is different. I took a pregnancy test this morning with my first morning urine, and it came out negative (11 days after having unprotected sex). I don't know if that's too early or not. I'm supposed to get my period between Monday, Aug.10th, and Wed., Aug 12th. Still 5-7 days away. Any thoughts? Thank you for all comments in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      It probably was too early for pregnancy symptoms in the first week or so after you had unprotected sex. The spot of blood could have been implantation bleeding. 11 days is also probably too early for a positive on a pregnancy test. Wait a few more days and test again.

  30. QUESTION:
    A question about ovulation calendars and actual ovulation?
    Okay, I was wondering if you guys have ever used an one of those online ovulation calculators and found them to be accurate? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm almost 95% sure I'm ovulating right now. My LMP was 3/30/2009. It was 9 days late. It's a 32-day cycle. Anyways, according to all of these calculators, it's forecasting me to OV on 4/17/09 with a fertility window of 4/15/09 - 4/20/09. TMI COMING!! Well, yesterday, I spotted some brown discharge on my underwear. I tested CM and it was very scant. Earlier today, I noticed some more brown discharge and had some mild pain in the lower abdomen but it was sort of on both sides so I don't know. Anyways, tonight I tested for CM and got a TON. It was very clear, semi-thin, and stretchy. That, plus the brown discharge and the mild cramping leads me to believe I'm ovulating now. I don't chart or anything. But all of this is making me very weary about trusting these online calculators. Me and hubby BD'd last night and Friday night. I know they are just an estimate but I was wondering how accurate they are usually for you guys? Thanks so much and sorry this was long!

    • ANSWER:
      To me those are not accurate because of people like me have irregular periods. The Doctor told me this from the day you started your period which would have been 3/30/09 you should be ovulating around April 12 which was yesterday. What you do is count from the day you started your menstrual cycle up to the thirteen day mark and have sex every other day if you are trying to conceive that is. Because if you have sex everyday then your husband can't get his lil swimmers charged up to make a baby then.

  31. QUESTION:
    Implantation bleeding but no blood?
    Okay, so I did this ovulation calculator and click on this link --> http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    It says that I'm supposed to implant today, but I have mild cramping yesterday but no blood yesterday or yet today. Does this sound correct, also I almost passed out about 2-3 days ago. Is that normal in very early pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      i didn't have implantation bleeding with any of my pregnancies, neither has anyone i know so i don't think it's that common. being dizzy and weak is definitely a pregnancy symptom. make sure your eating and drinking lots of water.

  7. QUESTION:
    Can anyone recommend a fertility specialist/Ob/GYN particularly with focus on natural fertility?
    I live in Epping, Melbourne area... I would like to give birth at Northpark Priv hosp in Bundoora (once I actually get pregnant). Been trying 8 mths and need some professional advice & general gyno.

    Would love to find a specialist who believes in a more natural approach as I'm seeing a naturopath.

    Thank you kindly!
    My Dr's not very good (so a good one of those would be great too!) but he sent me to a gyno who basically stood outside the door and communicated with his assistant, who then communicated with me and suggested a lapero and hysteroscopy... I'd like something more personal & would like to talk through things with a pro before going down that route... preferrably looking at natural ways

    • ANSWER:
      Ask your GP to recommend an OBGYN to you.

      You can go and see them, ask them the questions and see whether they are the right specialist for you.

      I have PCOS and I am seeing a Chinese Doctor that specialises in female infertility (undergoing acupuncture and taking mixture of natural herbs).

      I've done a bit of research and combining western medicine with natural therapy (whether it be chinese medicine or naturopathy) is a good thing. They complement one another. So, if you start undergoing fertility treatment with OBGYN I'm sure they would encourage you to continue with the natural approach.

      I started off with the natural approach - but I have now decided after a few months to supplement it with western medicine - hopefully the two combined (east and west!) get the job done.

      Best of luck and wekk done for inluding natural therapy in your treatment!

  8. QUESTION:
    What are some natural fertility drugs for men?
    I have been checked out by the doctor and am OK to go - my partner needs a hand - what sort of prenatal vitamins should he take to increase sperm count and general sperm health?

    • ANSWER:
      I am not sure what kinds of medicine can boost a mans sperm count however.. if he smokes (weed or cigarettes) have him stop.. they both lower sperm count. Also drinking too much. Have him take a multi-vitamin too. The zinc and vitamin C help. Also I'm sure you've heard it before but if you are TTC, have sex every other day instead of everyday.

  9. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know any natural remedy to boost my fertility?
    I have been trying to get pregnant for about 8 months. My husband and I have no succeeded. I am wondering if anyone has any tips or if any one may know some natural remedies to boost fertility. Thanks for all answers.

    • ANSWER:
      semen..Just joking! A sense of humor goes a long way sometimes. Have your blood tested for food allergies and find a good spa to relax once a week or a fertility dr. Good Luck hope to c u on the parenting ?'s soon :)

  10. QUESTION:
    Can a all natural fertility aid hurt you?
    I have been taking ovulex and i have been bleeding alot more than normal and a lot longer. They say it has no side effects. Does anyone know of a natural fertilty aid hurting someone.

    • ANSWER:
      I've never heard of Ovulex, but there is one thing people seem to forget about 'all-natural', 'herbal', etc.......

      Cyanide is all natural.
      Arsenic is all natural.
      I could go on, but I've made the point.

      There are plenty of dangerous things that are completely one hundred percent natural so don't be fooled by the hype! 'Natural' does not equal 'good for you'.

  11. QUESTION:
    How can you tell if a given population is a natural fertility population?

    • ANSWER:
      iceland and alaska are naturally high birth rates because the cold increases male fertility

  12. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the natural fertility herb FertilPlus and gotten pregnant from it?

    • ANSWER:
      I didn't use FertilPlus, however I did use Vitex Agnus Castus which I believe is an ingredient in FertilPlus. When I came off the pill after five years, I wasn't ovulating (according to OPKs), so right after my second period off the pill I picked up a bottle of Vitex at GNC (around with tax), used it for three weeks, caught my ovulation day using my OPKs, and got a positive pregnancy test.

      If I were you, I would just buy a bottle of Vitex at your local drugstore; you don't need to order anything off a website. Most of the high priced fertility herbs like FertilPlus or FertilAid all have Vitex as their main ingredient anyway.

      Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    Natural ways to encourage fertility in a woman with PECOS?
    I know exercise and eating right are ways to increase fertility. I have a naturally healthy lifestyle but have not be able to get pregnant. So I increased my exercise and have a strict eating plan and I think maybe if possible, I am over doing it?

      Yes. start by tracking your fertility symptoms so you know if and when you are fertile. See the references below. The third reference is a nutritional self-help book which has helped many people.
      Too much exercise can make you anovulatory. But you will be able to tell if you don't ovulate if you chart your cycle.

  14. QUESTION:
    Know of any natural fertility enhancers?
    Trying to get pregnant.. Any natural medicines that can enhance fertility?

    • ANSWER:
      Indication: Clomid is often the first choice for treating infertility because it's effective and been used for more than 25 years. Clomiphene is given to women who are not ovulating normally. Clomid and Serophene, the brand names of clomiphene, are antiestrogen drugs. As a result, they cause the hypothalamus and pituitary gland located deep in the brain to release hormones that will stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. GnRH is released from the hypothalamus and FSH and LH are released from the pituitary gland. These fertility drugs are often used in combination with assisted reproductive techniques or artificial insemination.

      Use: The typical starting dosage of clomiphene is 50 milligrams per day for five days. You take the first pill on the third, fourth, or fifth day after you start your period. You can expect to start ovulating about seven days after you've taken the last dose of the drug. If you don't ovulate right away, the dose can be increased by 50 milligrams per day each month up to 150 mg. After you've begun to ovulate, most doctors suggest taking clomiphene for no longer than six months. If you haven't become pregnant by then, your doctor will probably prescribe a different medication.

      Effectiveness: Approximately 60% to 80% of women who take clomiphene will ovulate, and about half will be able to get pregnant as a result of taking the drug. Most pregnancies occur within three cycles.

      Side effects: The side effects of clomiphene are generally mild. They include hot flashes, blurred vision, nausea, bloating, and headache. Clomid can also cause changes in the cervical mucus, which may make it harder to tell when you're fertile and may inhibit the sperm from entering the uterus. Like many fertility drugs, Clomid can increase the chances of multiple births, although it's less likely to cause the problem than some injectable hormones.

  15. QUESTION:

      agnus castus - helps regulate ovulation and hormone fluctuations

  16. QUESTION:
    are there any natural remedies or tips to help increase your fertility?
    trying to conceive and i want to know are there any natural remedies to increase my fertility.

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, I'd recommend charting your fertility signs. This can tell you when YOU are fertile and if there are any issues w/ your cycle which could dela conception or cause difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy. W/o a chart, I couldn't recommend any specific remedies.

      In general, you should have good nutrition. Avoid as much processed and refined food as possible. Try to eat organic whenever possible. Take supplements as needed.

      Check out WestonAPrice.org and the book Nutrition, Cycles and Fertility by M. Shannon.

      Sources for charting your fertility signs: The books The Art of Natural Family Planning and Taking Charge of Your Fertility. The websites CCLI.org, Fertilityfriend.com, and Ovusoft.com

      I was sexually active at 18 and never been on the pill and never fell pregnant. when I was about 25 years old I started wondering why but the doctors could not give me a reason. I saw a program on today tonight and it segment was called THE BABY MAKER. Her name is Ruth Sharkey & she has a web site. After taking her herbal medicine for 1 month I fell pregnant.........I strongly recommend her to anyone trying before you go down the path of IVF which is what I have to do due to having both of my tubes removed as both pregnancy's were Ectopic....

      Good Luck

  18. QUESTION:
    Are there any natural fertility treatments?
    Before I go to the doctor I would love to know if there are any herbs or foods that can help boost fertility and increase chances of conception?

    • ANSWER:
      I once saw a show that said that a tea of Queen Ann's lace (it is a weed) used to be use as a fertility treatment.

  19. QUESTION:
    I was wondering if anyone has ever tried any natural or herbal treatments for fertility?
    I was reading about different natural treatments to help fertility, and this herb came up called vitex or chasteberry, I was wondering if any one has ever used it? Are there any side effects? and how effective is it? Its suppose to bring back the menstral cycle to normal and induce ovulation, from what i've read, is it all true?

    • ANSWER:
      OMG I can't believe I forgot about that, yes I was on Vitex & False Unicorn Root (F.U.R) when ttc #1 only took it for 2 months before ttc though as I read somewhere that pregnant women and lactating women should avoid it, so I thought well that can't be good when ttc what if you do conceive and don't find out till later on, so I stopped the vitex, but stayed on the F.U.R

      FALSE UNICORN ROOT (Chamaelirium luteum)
      False unicorn root may help to normalise ovarian function when female infertility is associated with erratic ovulation.

      and after 3 months on the F.U.R and metformin, 2 months on Vitex and 1 month on clomid, we started ttc, well approx a month later found out I was 5wks pg. So we were successful on our first try. our daughter is now 5yrs old.

      Good luck to you and hope you get a BFP real soon.
      and thankyou I'm going to the health food shop today to get me some F.U.R now..lol...

  20. QUESTION:
    Is it unheard of for a couple with fertility problems to seek natural insemination?
    I feel like the only person in the world with this problem, but also feel like i can't possibly be the only person with it. my and my wife want a child, but we've been having problems. turns out, the problem is mine, not hers.

    we want the child to be as much ours as possible. we don't have the insurance, money, or time that would allow us to pursue other options such as fertility treatments (which isn't realy an option in our case), artificial insemination, or adoption. so we've considered . . . . natural insemination.

    we've discussed it. we have candidates. we though about having them sign a contract. but we feel alone. is this unheard of? if just waiting is not an option for us, why should or shouldn't we be considering this?

    • ANSWER:
      You would have to adopt anyway because you would have no rights to her child until you adopt. Same things goes for women who use donor eggs. They are not genetically tied to the baby so they have to adopt the baby and the woman who's eggs they use would have to sign over parental rights. You would have to get a lawyer to make sure that the agreement you come to is legal enough to hold up in court, or the genetic father may be able to sue for parental rights.

      If you are willing to go that far, you could get free donor sperm, possibly a male relative of yours who is willing to sign over parental rights. Then use an IUI. It cost a couple hundred dollars, and if you can't afford that, you really can't afford a child.

      Also, as far as natural insemination goes (i'm assuming you mean have donors have intercourse with your wife to impregnate her) how many times do you think she will have to do that? It doesn't work every time for healthy fertile couples. If she is under 30, her chances of getting pregnant are only 20% each cycle. He would have to "naturally inseminate" her every other day for at least a week during her ovulation time. And for maybe as long as a year. I don't think you want that.

      precious - if he can't afford a simple IUI, how can he afford IVF, which costs about to thousand dollars a cycle???

  21. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried natural fertility with herbs?
    My husband and I have been TTC a year and a half with no success. We've had tests done and there shouldn't be any reason why we can't get preggo. I'm considering herbs and possibly a naturopathic physician. Anyone done this? If so, what was your experience?

    • ANSWER:
      Hypnosis! It sounds ridiculous but... I was looking for help with weight and overeating and I went to a hypnotist who also did Reiki work. She asked me if I had any 'dark' spots and I said "my uterus" My session turned that direction and we did work on my lower belly concerning two lost pregnancies from four years prior. I had no intention of steering the session towards pregnancy, I was already seeing a Dr about infertility and was considering fertility drugs because the Dr said I was 'non-ovulatory' I was surprised I had brought up the whole baby-thing. I was sure that I was 'over it' ....but based on the session ~ I guess I wasn't! Anyway I had a period a few day after the hypnosis and Alexander was concieved about two weeks later! Even if you can't think of any mental block you might have towards conception, I would recommend a session or two anyway. I would never have thought I was having any issues and it was only under hypnosis that I was able to let go and really feel what I had been trying NOT to feel. Good luck to you and your husband.

  22. QUESTION:
    whats the different between natural increase and fertility rate?
    Natural increase is when a population rises because birthrate is higher then death rate.
    Fertility rate is the average # of babies a person has in their lifetime in a country

    • ANSWER:
      Natural increase = The average rate of population growth as measured over long periods of time. It usually doesn't change much.

      Fertility rate = It can change from one year or decade to the next. People may stop having as many children due to factors like economics. Some countries restrict how many children are born by limiting the number of children a couple can have. China does this to slow population growth.

  24. QUESTION:
    Does Anyone Know Of Any Natural Fertility Pills That Work And Side Affects?
    Me and my husband have been trying to concieve for 2 years and it taking so long i do smoke but im trying to stop so what is the problem what can i do to concieve faster or concieve at all.I have calmed down on smoking like once a day .HELP ME PLEASE thanks

    • ANSWER:
      I am a smoker myself, and a hair stylist, so Im around smoke all day (everyone knows hairstylist smoke), I think you will find that if you quit, then that will greatly greatly up your chances of conceiving faster!!! I know it is hard, but I did it, cold turkey 3 months ago. It can be done, I have faith in you (especially if you are down to a day, which is great dont get me wrong) and yes there is a fertility drug you can go purchase at gnc. it has chasteberry in it, and something called vitex. anything you buy at gnc will be safe for you to take!!! my client is the manager at ours and he stands 100% behind his products!! he was going on and on and on about how much it has helped people. you just go in there and tell them you are looking for something to help boost your fertility, and basically get you pregnant faster and they will know right away what you are talking about. i also have another client who sells arbonne, and they sell a progestrone cream, which is just a hormoneal cream that you apply once a day in a different area each day i.e., wrist, innedr thigh, stomach, and so on. it will help to regulate your hormones to make your body the perfect enviroment for an egg to be fertilized and implanted. I would highly suggest these products, I have heard so many success stories on just the progestrone cream alone, but just think if you took them together!!! I am currently taking my first round of clomid, so if that doesnt not work this month, I am going to get these items. GOod luck to you!!!!

  25. QUESTION:
    Would you be interested in learning natural family planning/fertility awareness?
    I'm considering becoming a natural family planning teacher. I would teach a method called Billings, which is quite simple and helps either avoid pregnancy or become pregnant. I would like to teach it not only in a church setting but also to the general public (like in a community college). I just wonder if women would be interested. Thanks.
    I would like to add that I use this method instead of birth control and it works great (I think the success rate is 99%).

    • ANSWER:
      Definitely! I would be up for learning anything to help me from getting pregnant that doesn't involve hormonal birth control, there are soooo many side effects. Then when I want to get pregnant again, it would be nice to learn some ways to help that along too! Sounds great!

    What are some natural ways to increase fertility?
    We want so bad to have a baby, I know he is able to produce cuz he already has one but i want to know how i can increase my fertility?

    • ANSWER:
      There are some fertility supplements for both males and females. I believe GNC sells them. I have even heard that taking Prenatal vitamins BEFORE actually getting pregnant can help. Try using Ovulation Predictor Kits if you're not already. This strips will tell you 12-24 hours in advance when you're going to ovulate. There is a sperm friendly lubricant called "Preseed" that TONS of people have had success with, including myself. Do some research on Google. I've heard good things about Evening Primrose Oil supplements as well to increase fertile cervical mucus. Drink LOTS of water. Hope I've helped!

  29. QUESTION:
    What are some natural remedies to boost fertility?
    We've been TTC for over a year now and before we start any medical procedures (drugs and shots...yikes!) I'd like to explore some natural remedies. Any suggestions on what has or hasn't worked for you?

    Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know of any natural remedies but the following really helps:
      -eliminate caffeine (sodas, tea, chocolate, coffee)
      -use chlorine-free personal hygiene products
      -start taking a prenatal vitamin (for the folic acid and the iron)
      -drink orange juice (also for the folic acid)
      -don't smoke, of course
      -don't eat tropical fruit, especially papaya - teh ingredients in papaya (called papain) can hinder conception. Papaya is used as a contraceptive by some tribes (really, this is true)
      -get checked for mineral deficiencies (especially an iron deficiency that can make you anemic - especially if you have painful periods)
      -and generally relax and let go. I'm sure that lots of people tell you this but it works (I know! ... and now she's 16 months old!).

      Good luck!

  30. QUESTION:
    Natural methods to increase fertility?
    i'm looking for some herbal/natural methods to increase fertility for my partner and myself. Also natural miscarriage preventions would be great. Do these natural fertility methods increase chances of multiple pregnancy? Are they safe? And do they actually work?

    • ANSWER:
      I have heard that Maca, an herb found in Peru is supposed to increase fertility, especially sperm count in Men. I have never tried it, but it would be worth doing some research on.
      Also, start taking a pre-natal vitamin now, the high levels of folic acid are supposed to help when you are TTC. I do not know if any of these increase the chances of multiples.

  31. QUESTION:
    What are some natural ways for fertility?
    My husband and I have decided to have a baby and we have been trying for almost 6 months and always a negative preg test. What do I need to do??

    • ANSWER:
      In order to conceive, your body needs to be a happy and healthy place for a baby to grow and develop. If your body is under-nourished, out of shape, or being mistreated in anyway, it may be more difficult for you and your partner to conceive. Consider cutting all nicotine and caffeine out of your regime.

      Start using a sperm-friendly lubricant if you are trying to conceive. Some lubricants can damage sperm, reducing your chances of conceiving.

      Vitamins are a great way of keeping your body healthy and prepared for pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins contain all the essential nutrients that your body needs, plus a little bit extra to ensure a healthy pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins also contain folic acid, which is especially important for women who are trying get pregnant. When taken prior to conception, folic acid can help to prevent neural tube birth defects.

      Women who douche often also appear to have reduced pregnancy rates. So get rid of that douche!

      Reduce your stress. Stress is bad for our mental and physical health, not to mention our fertility, too. Stress can actually affect hormone levels in your body, which could interfere with ovulation.

      Though it might sound silly, raising your hips with a pillow during and after intercourse might help to increase your chances of becoming pregnant. There isn't much proof that this trick actually works, but many women find that it offers peace of mind.

      Herbs can really help to increase your fertility when you are trying to conceive. Herbs can help to regulate your ovulation or increase your hormones, and they don't cost anywhere near as much as fertility treatments do. Be careful herbs can be very potent, and may cause harmful side effects when taken in excess or if combined with other medications.

      I GUESS THIS WILL HELP A LOT .

  32. QUESTION:
    Does anyone know any natural ways to increase fertility to get pregnant?
    I am having troubles conceiving and am wondering if there is anything i can do besides fertility drugs.....

    • ANSWER:
      when i worked as a fitness instructor/nutritionist we had a programme running at our gym called "eat better ,weigh less" but us gym instructos used to jokingly call it the fertility proagramme, every one that was in a relationship ended up pregnant after doing the programme.
      all the programme was, was basically educating people on making better healthier food choices and exercising regularly, if your body is not healthy then nature will not allow you to conceive as you will not be able to adequetly sustain a pregnancy.
      so....
      eat well, IE: anything natural (unprocessed etc) that grows from the ground is good for you usually, especially if you eat it in its most natural form.
      beware of serving sizes, IE: a portion is something that would fit into the palm of your hand.
      its all pretty basic really, if you eat when you are hungry and eat the stuff that is not tampered with ( fruit, veges, legumes,etc), stop eating when you are full. exercise daily but not to the point of exhaustion, just enough to get a good sweat up and release toxins from your system. pee when you need to pee, sleep when its nights and wake when its day.(as much as possible )
      eat a braod spetrum of coulours ( not artificial colours) like reds : tomatoes,peppers,strawberries,raspberries,.orange: carrots, manderins,peppers, pumpkin,sweet potato, green: broccoli,beans,asparagus,avocado,kiwi fruit,spinich,seaweed,asparagus.
      etc etc, etc, etc.
      i could go on but you get the general idea,
      hope some or any of that helps you
      good luck
      p.s spell check wasnt working so sorry if its hard to read, late at night here;)

      Yes, there are some natural ways to increase your fertility. First, you need to try to pinpoint the problem--irregular periods or irregular ovulation is the most common problem.
      There are some things you can try--Soy Isoflavones taken for 5 days early in your cycle will often induce ovulation.
      Also, Natural Progesterone Cream can help with estrogen dominance and also luteal phase defect.

  35. QUESTION:
    Is there a natural way to increase fertility?
    I have insulin resistance, and ovalute right before my period. Is there something out there, other then shots, to increase my chances to become pregnant?
    I have insulin resistance, and ovalute right before my period. Is there something out there, other then shots, to increase my chances to become pregnant? I don't have PCOS and am on Metformin. What is an RE?

    • ANSWER:
      Read the book "The Infertility Cure" by Randine Lewis. This book helps you take a look at underlying problems to help you balance your hormones and have a normal cycle. Also, it helps you choose the herbs that work right for your body. For example, some people swear by chasteberry (vitex), however, this herb does not work for women with a short menstrual cycle. There is a wealth of information in this book and with some time, you will be able to figure out the proper herbs for you. However, if you want some help, find an acupuncturist and/or herbalist in town and she can help you select the right herbs. Just so you know, I read this book and in the last two months, my hormones are now balanced (after being unbalanced for my entire fertile life). Hope this helps!

  37. QUESTION:
    Pcos natural fertility aids success stories?
    I have pcos and I take metformin however I don't always take it like I should, same with vitex Are there anyone that has had success using this or anything else. I am starting to feel hopeless. I am 25 already tried a cycle of follistim and it didn't work. I am depressed need advice and hope. Please

    • ANSWER:
      (this is a few ones about vitex)

      "works for me....when i was trying to get pregnant with my first (about 9 years ago) my periods we totally irregular....I started taking Vitex in June, got a period in June, and then again in July and then got pregnant in August. It had been over a year since I had 2 periods , two months in a row. i took it for about 2 weeks before i got a period, i don't know exactly how it works though. good luck! "

      here is another success story I read (again about vitex)

      "I had secondary infertility for 7 years (84 cycles). I took the herb Vitex and within 6 months I was pregnant. In February I will have 3 children under 3. I thought having another child was hopeless. I took 2 capsules twice a day. With Jillian (I guess prior to her birth) I changed my diet to a Bradley pregnancy diet except limited breads and I took Vitex. I started that in December and was pregnant by May. After Jills birth. We wanted to get pregnant when she was 2 years old. I took the vitex at 6 months postpartum and was pregnant at 9 months postpartum...We were not even trying. After Abby was born (by c-section) I did not want to have another baby or get pregnant until she was 2. We were avoiding pregnancy and without Vitex I got pregnant at 9 months postpartum! We only used birth control for 2 cycles after 1997 and were infertile until May of 2005. That was a LONG time to wait. Do not give up hope, even when it feels there is so little left. Be with hubby at least 3 times a week and on top of that buy the fertility sticks, which you can buy in bulk for about 50cents to each. Dollar Tree might even sell them....that is where I buy my pregnancy sticks."

      This is part of what helps me get through, try really hard to stick to something, if needed, buy a pill thing and make sure to put it somewhere you go everyday (like the bathroom).

  39. QUESTION:
    Is there really natural foods that increase fertility?
    Green tea? Fish oil? Just looking to see if there is a fertility boosting food or vitamin

    • ANSWER:
      There absolutely is.....eat and drink averything in moderattion and it is good for your fertility. Eat home cooked fresh organic meals and drink lots of water and fruit juices. White meat, Fish and fish oil are all highly recommended.
      If you are asking about vitamins and mineral supplements, you should take a multivit with high doses of B complex- it is fertility enhancing. Also other minarals like magnesium, zinc, copper all work for thyroid, pituatary balancing effects and thus indirectly or directly balance your reproductive system too.
      As for other herbal supplements like green tea, etc. These is small quantities might be good (I know green tea is good for health). But they are better when attuned for a aprticular problem. There are many herbs that women take for fertility purposes- like vitex, EPO, nettles, red clover, red raspberry leaf., etc. But they work better when there is known particular problem. For general health you may 1-2 cups of green tea it is very good.
      While there is no magic pill for fertility- as each and every problem is unique- you can just improve your over all health and your fertility will increase.
      Good luck dear !!

    What are some good natural vitamins/herbs to help boost fertility?
    My husband and I have a beautiful 2 year old girl, but we both miss her being a little baby and are starting to think about trying again. The issue is my cycles have been thrown way off kilter between having a baby, breastfeeding, and trying to find the birth control that works for me.

  44. QUESTION:
    What are some all natural things that promote fertility and help with conception?
    I need things that are all natural....not pills or anything. Please help...thank you!!

    • ANSWER:
      My latest thinking is the female orgasm - can't get more natural than that LOL! Certainly makes the act much more fun for us!

      When a woman orgasms her cervix actually dips into the sperm and sort of hoovers them up to help them on their way to Planet Egg, and if your man's spermies aren't the fastest in the swimming olympics then it might give them a super boost!

      Vitex Agnus Castus is a herbal remedy that promotes a healthy menstrual cycle and hormonal balance, as does Evening Primrose Oil.

      Soya milk for a healthy endometrium which I'm drinking by the bucketload and grapefruit juice for promoting healthy cervical mucus.

      I've just had an acupuncture session to help balance my hormones.

      And Yoga and meditation just about keeps everything calm and balanced.

      Much luck - welcome to the TTC Club xx

  45. QUESTION:
    Natural ways of increasing fertility?
    Does anybody have any advice on what herbs or other natural remedies would be best to take when trying to conceive?

    I'm in Mexico, so not all herbs will be available to me. So, if you know of anything, no matter how rare you think it is, please tell me, because it might only be rare in the U.S., but available to me here in Mexico. Thanks!

    Oh! Also, if you have any success stories with your remedy please tell me!

    • ANSWER:
      I suggest you search vitex(chasteberry) and dong quai, both herbs, on the internet. I took both of these to increase fertility and regulate my cycles. I took 2 of each in the morning and 2 of each at night. It can take up to three months to notice any change though, because you need a build up of both in your system for them to work. I know you can get both from gnc.com, but i don't know if they send to Mexico. Good Luck and lots of baby dust to you!!

Fertility Calendar For A Girl

Calculate Your Fertile Days With An Ovulation Calendar
You, among a vast majority of women, must have heard about an ovulation calendar. Now, with the internet, a lot of information is available for women trying to conceive. This is an effective software aid for any woman trying or preventing a pregnancy. The calendar is used to track your menstruation and ovulation cycle.

The menstrual cycle is about 28 to 32 days. Ovulation starts approximately on the tenth or nineteenth menstruation day. Ovulation period is crucial to conceiving a baby. For women trying to conceive, the ovulation calendar can be a big help.

Trying for a Baby

If you have started on your journey in trying for a baby, you might like to start with an ovulation calendar. This software is easy to use and very useful. They work by calculating your most fertile days after you enter data about the date of your last period and the average length of your cycle. Online calendars provide you with the details of your most fertile days. You also get emails when to expect these fertile days. The emails will reach you three days before your ovulation as well as on your ovulation day, so you will know when to get active.

How the Calendars Help

Ovulation calendars are designed by women in consultation with women physicians. The results are presented in a color-coded calendar showing your fertile and non-fertile periods. When you are aware of your most fertile time, which is when you are ovulating, you can determine the best days to conceive. The calendars calculate the probability of conception based on the ovulation time, and the lifespan of the egg and sperm. Then you know which are the promising days for conceiving.

Avoiding Pregnancy

You can use the natural way to avoid pregnancy by abstaining from unprotected intercourse during your fertile days. Ovulation calendar help you to know your ovulation and fertile days by calculation of the variations in your menstrual cycle. You can in this way avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

Selecting the Gender of Your Baby

The calendars can be programmed with pop-up reminders to keep you informed about your fertility. You can also use the calendar's help to increase your chances of having a boy or girl by choosing the right time for intercourse. The female's X chromosome lives longer and swims slower than the male's Y chromosome. So, you have better chances of conceiving a girl if you have intercourse about three days prior to ovulation. If you have intercourse closer to ovulation there are better chances of having a baby boy.

Easy to Use

If you have cycle lengths of more than 35 days or less than 21 days, the calendars cannot calculate your fertile days appropriately. The ovulation calendar is very easy to use. It is as simple as entering the day of your last menstrual period and length of cycle. You will see the most fertile days for the number of months you enter. The calendar also shows the best days to have intercourse to increase your chances of the particular gender of your baby. You can get free ovulation calendar which can be downloaded from some websites related to women and babies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Where can i find the best fertility calendar online?
    I found an awesome one once, and don't remember the website. It also allowed you to choose if you were trying for a boy or a girl.

    • ANSWER:
      Babycenter.com has a good one or if you have an iphone 'womans calandar' is fantastic. It has everything you need to record

  2. QUESTION:
    Chinese fertility calendar?
    My sister swears I am having a girl.. She said right before I told her I am pregnant she had a dream I had a baby girl. Then today just for kicks, my friend (who has a 7 month old girl) and I used one of those chinese fertility calendars./ It was fun. It said she would have a girl which she did and it said I am too. It was fun and I know it's 50/50 but has it been corect for you? Or if you have a baby and go back on it would it predict the right sex of your baby? just for fun!!

    • ANSWER:
      I did it when planning to have a boy and I am now pregnant with a BOY...so if luck is 50/50 I guess in my case it was on my side.

  3. QUESTION:
    Choosing the sex of the baby?
    Is it true that there's a time where you're most likely gonna get pregnant with a boy &a time where you're most likely gonna get pregnant with a girl? Cause I did a fertility calendar &it asked me what sex I prefered for the baby.

    • ANSWER:
      No. Simply put, a woman's egg can't determine the sex of the child. The sex chromosome, or chromosome that determines gender in a woman is XX, whereas men have XY. Thus, a woman's egg must carry the chromosome, whereas a sperm cell carries either X or Y. So, your biology has nothing to do with determining the sex of a baby.

  4. QUESTION:
    When would we need to stop having sex in order to conceive a girl?
    me and my bf been trying for a yr to get pregnant,we both just had fertility tests done and both mine and his test are normal. my ob/gyn told us we can continue trying. we wanna have a girl but are trying to fig out when we should stop having sex. i just got my period on july 10,2011 and my cycle is 30 days. we looked at this ovulation website to help fig out when we should try but its confusing us: http://www.babymed.com/fertility-ovulation-calendar-calculator

    if we are trying for a girl,when should we stop having sex?

    • ANSWER:
      When trying to conceive a certain sex there are 3 factors you need to consider. First is diet. If you are after a boy try eating foods that are high potassium & sodium, by eating these types of foods will help your body provide an alkali environment. For a girl it is foods high in Calcium & Magnesium as an Acidic environment is best

      Don't forget that timing of intercourse is also crucial as is the sexual position.

      I too also went on sites and found i wasn't ovulating when they said i should be as everyone is different, if you don't know exactly when you do ovulate it is best to buy some test strips so you can confirm when you are.

      The best time to conceive a girl is several days before you ovulate and the best time for a boy is right on ovulation.

      No method is 100%, but the prince or princess guide has had a 94% success rate and i have found it really helpful in planning my next one. I have 2 boys and would really like a girl.

  5. QUESTION:
    I really want to try to conceive a girl - any suggestions?
    I have heard that with certain factors it is possible to help conceive a boy or a girl. I know it is not guaranteed - but if certain things help, then I would like to know.

    I do have this website http://babymed.com/Tools/Fertility/Calendar/Default.aspx
    but I dont know how the calendar works exactly, I dont know what all the stuff means. like checking body temperature to know when ovulation occurs, checking cervical mucus for fertility etc...

    Have you heard any tricks to help conceive a girl?
    you people are ignorant. there are certain ways to help conceive a girl - YES I KNOW IT DEPENDS ON THE SPERM... YES I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT 100% ACCURATE...
    however if there is a way to help - then I will do it.
    I have heard eating low calorie diet
    **boy sperms are weaker than girls and can't servive as well in a lower calorie diet atmosphere.
    **to conceive a boy - eat high calorie diet, only have sex on ovulation day... eat foods high in potassium
    **for a girl - have sex 5 days before ovulation. the girl sperm is stronger than the boy, and has a higher chance to servive in the body for 5 days untill ovulation.

    BIOLOGY LESSON FOR ALL OF YOU.... yes it is posible to help your body conceive on or the other!!!!

    Now - I have 2 boys already, I am having 1 more child and would love to add a daughter to my family. Now if I have a boy, I will be happy and thrilled to have a healthy baby. But yes, I want a girl - which is not a crime!!!! Judge yourself, not me..
    ^^^^^ Now if any of you know other ways to help conceive a girl - that is the information I want to know!! THanks
    THank you Amanda.... truly you understoo the question - unlike the rest of the ignorants that attempted to give an answer on their own OPINION...

    • ANSWER:
      Well The men carry the sex of the baby. The male sperms are faster and the female are stronger. If you are aiming for a girl, try a little after your ovulation date. As the male rush down to the egg which will be a farther journey a bit after your prime ovulation date, they may die off or tire out, but the famales although slower, they are stronger and more likely to survive the journey. babyzone.com

      Well i just read your added details and it looks like you already knew what i had told you. If you want a girl, there is nothing wrong with trying to tip the scales in that direction, i never for a moment thought that you would love your baby any less if it were a boy so we arent ALL against you here.Good luck and i hope it all works out.

  6. QUESTION:
    What are the chances that I'm pregnant?
    My last period lasted from November 14th to the 19th, and my husband and I had sex on the 27th. My fertility calendar says I wasn't fertile or ovulating, but I read that sperm can last in your system for up to 5 days, which means it was still there on my 1st day of fertility. I have 3 sons and would love a girl, but this just is not the time. Can someone tell me the chances of this happening?

    • ANSWER:
      theres always a chance u can get pregnant after sex i was told sperm can only last up to 3 days.. GOOD LUCK

  7. QUESTION:
    Hoping to get Pregnant?
    So we have TTC for 8 months- we already have a 2 yr old boy. Our other son was a surprise. So we are in new territory here but I am trying to be patient :)

    I would love to have a girl, one of each- but of course a healthy baby boy/girl is priority. Anyways, my fertility calendar say BD today the 7th, 8th and 9th...for a girl - Either I do not get the reproductive system or what, but how will the sperm get into my cervix if its not open yet. I do not ovulate until the 12th. My last period was 9/1 (8:30pm) and before that 8/5 (I woke up with it) I have an OPK and it said I ovulated in August on day 13 and 14 of my cycle. I just want to make sure we are doing it right..I think my luteal phase is 15 days long. Any advice on how to maximize our chances of conceiving a baby is helpful. (I do not chart BBT- because I had difficulty seeing a pattern in past months)

    • ANSWER:
      The gender-choosing methods (which don't always work) rely on the speed and heartiness of the sperm. First, it's important to remember that your cervix is always open a tiny bit, even if you can't feel it. It softens and opens more as you approach ovulation, but sperm can get through at other times during your cycle. Y-sperm (the ones that make boys) are faster, but don't survive as well in the vagina. X-sperm (the ones that make girls) move more slowly through the vagina and cervix, but live longer. The idea behind having sex now , a little further away from ovulation for a girl is that the sperm that survive will be more likely to carry X chromosomes for a girl, and will be waiting for the egg when it is released. Having sex closer to ovulation means that the sperm that get to the egg first will be more likely to be the faster moving, Y sperm.

  8. QUESTION:
    TTC a Baby?
    So we have TTC for 8 months- we already have a 2 yr old boy. Our other son was a surprise. So we are in new territory here but I am trying to be patient :)

(I do not chart BBT- because I had difficulty seeing a pattern in past months)

    • ANSWER:
      The sperm that carry the X chromosome live longer and are slower swimmers than the sperm that carry the Y chromosome. So if you have sex before you ovulate by the time you do ovulate you the girl swimmers will be there to fertilize the egg as soon as the egg is released. That is the theory.

  9. QUESTION:
    Question about Fertilitygal.com and ovulating...?
    I have signed onto three different sites for tracking fertility and I like this one best. The only problem is they are a little different on the dates they suggest...not way off, but not exact.

It isn't a big deal if it's wrong about the boy/girl days, but has anyone had luck simply getting pregnant by using this site's fertility calendar? Thanks!!!

  11. QUESTION:
    Need help with conceiving?
    We've been trying for 2 years now!
    I have a fertility calendar and know exactly when to conceive.
    Except nothing has happened! It's extremely frustrating.
    My girl friend was going through the same thing and she just
    recently found out that she was preggo. It gave me hope so
    I'm still willing to try. Anyone know how I can increase the chances?

    I know my partner & I need to see a doc it's already planned
    but for now we are going to keep trying and
    we need some advice!

    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Have you used an Ovulation Predictor Kit (OPK) to see if you are ovulating? You can still have regular periods and not ovulate. And you need to ovulate in order to become pregnant.

      If you haven't tried and OPK, then I suggest you do. If it turns out that you are and have been ovulating, then your hubby needs to have a sperm count done to see if that's the problem.

      Good luck & lots of baby dust!

  12. QUESTION:
    what should i do about my boyfriend if im pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend have been seeying eachother for about 8 months. We fight a lot, our relationship has always been difficult, but we obviously like eachother enough to stay together despite all the arguying. I love him and I love being with him but I feel like he isn't happy being tied down sometimes. I don't think it's me I think he just isn't ready to stop being single and be with just one girl. Im 19 and he's 24 by the way. anyways, we had sex a lot this month and i wasnt on birth control for the first time since i've been sexually active. about 4 times we did it was while i was fertile according to the online fertility calendar (i realized this after). well basically im 3 days late on my period and im really starting to think i could be pregnant. last night i asked him "would u be unhapppy if i was pregnant?" and he said yes. like it was no big deal. so basically im trying to figure out what do it with him if i am pregnant. i'd have the baby theres no question in my mind about that, but i mean should i continue to try to date him even though he isn't happy about our being a dad, or should i tell him im pregnant and im breaking up with him because i don't want him to date me because he feels like he has to, because if thats the case then it wont last. i feel like me and my baby would be better off if i just didnt try to be with someone who isnt happy about our family. I know he might change his mind about things once he knows im really pregnant, but incase he doesnt change his mind, i want to have a plan. I would obviously remain friends with my bf and make sure he has a good relationship with the baby, I would never keep him from seeying the baby, but i dont think as a couple we would be very successful if he feels forced. Hes a really good guy but he doesn't seem ready to give up his fun lifestyle of bars, girls and drinking. I just want some opnions on what i should do. Don't say things like "you shouldn't of had unprotected sex with someone you aren't ready to have a baby with" because I get it, but either way I could support me and the baby, I have everything we would need. so, spare me those comments please.

    • ANSWER:
      First, go get yourself a pregnancy test and see what happens. It may or may not be too soon to tell so you might want to get two just in case. If you are pregnant, tell your boyfriend how you feel about it. Tell him that you'd want to keep him in the baby's life but you don't want him to feel like he is forced to stay with you because of it.

  13. QUESTION:
    are these early pregnancy symptoms?
    i'm in need of a little advice? knowledge? i'm not really sure! i had sex on the 11th of may (he did NOT come inside me, but i know sperm is released all during sex), and according to my fertility calendar(?), my most fertile day was the 12th or 13th. a few days after the sex my breasts became very tender, i have felt very tired (but i can't tell if i'm more tired than usual), and lately i have been noticing-sorry to be graphic-but looser bowel movements (eww, i know). i realize it would be incredibly early in a pregnancy, but the research i've been doing online says these are common symptoms for the first few weeks. any ladies out there experience the same thing i am? my period isn't due until next wednesday. would it be ridiculous to take a test sooner? i'm pretty nervous. it's almost as if i have the feeling that i AM pregnant. i know that sounds wild, but it's true. help me?! thanks, girls. :)

    • ANSWER:
      If your breast really are tender, like it hurts to take a shower, that was my first sign way before I ever took a test. I actually found out I was pregnant 4 days before my missed period. I believe it was with the First Response that advertises "Find out 5 days before your missed period". And being tired was my next big sign. Good luck!

  14. QUESTION:
    How do i stop wanting to have a child so bad?
    I need to know how to stop wanting to have a baby. I just had one a while ago and she passed a few minutes after birth. I think what I really want is to have my baby girl back. I know she's not coming back. Now I keep thinking that if I have another child I'll be happy again. I find myself looking at fertility calendars and googling how to have a healthy pregnancy. My fiancé wants a baby too so it's hard not to try for one. I'm not in a good spot emotionally for a baby, financially, physically, it's a terrible timing for a baby. So how do I get rid of this over powering want to be a mommy?

    • ANSWER:
      Watch how other people raise their children and see how they grow up, then you decide whether you want them or not.

  15. QUESTION:
    am i pregnant or going through changes?
    i got my period 2 weeks early it was lighter in color and at the end it was brownish along with lots of pain now 2 weeks after at the time when my period was suppose to start am still having lots of cramps and pain in my lower back headaches change in the way i eat or feel about food.. my breast dont feel sore but my nipples feel sensitive to touch.. i was reading up on it but i cant seem to get the answers that i am looking for. was it implantation bleeding or my period or is there something seriously wrong with me ? i found this website with a Fertility Calculator and Ovulation Calendar it told me everything about thre days i can get pregnant and have implantation bleeding and when i should miss my period and i have had some bleeding on the same dates as this calendar... am i pregnant or just going through changes , im a 28 - 30 day girl

    • ANSWER:

  16. QUESTION:
    According to my cycle, when is the best time to try for pregnancy?
    The first day of my last period was October 10th. I should be getting my period again this week. According to a 28 day cycle, tomorrow actually.

    I have been looking at ovulation calendars, and fertility calendars online.
    The fertility one said that if I don't get my period by November 10th, I could be pregnant already.
    The ovulation site said Estimated Fertility Window: 10/20/2011 thru 10/30/2011
    Next Period or Positive Pregnancy Test Expected by: 11/07/2011

    Does any of this sound right to any of you girls who have had children? I'm guessing if that is right, then I could use them for future reference.

  17. QUESTION:
    What do you think? Could I be pregnant?
    Well, I have been wanting a baby forever! My man finally decided that it was a good enough time to try and so we tried to conceive on December 18th for the first time. I really believe I have been having symptoms but I have been ignoring them just because I don't want to get my hopes up, plus it has probably been to early to have experienced any. Any way, I have a calendar on fertility friend and it says that we tried to conceive on the perfect day! (Yay us!) So I was supposed to get my period on the 13th, and I think I did, I read some where that girls may think its their period but would it still be if they got it the day they were supposed to?
    Well I started cramping and feeling the symptoms of my period like a week before it came and when I got it, it barely felt like anything. I have very normal periods which last 4-5 days. The whole time I had no cramps, first day was extremely light, i guess more like spotting?? Second day was heavier like almost normal. Third and fourth day was next to nothing and I didn't even have to bother with a pad on those days, but did just in case. I have never been the type to ever get headaches, it is rare for me, and I have only had heart burn once in my life and that was like over 10 years ago in like 2nd grade. I get headaches more often and twinges of heart burn but this morning was like OMG out of the park heartburn. It was awful! I thank whoever made tums! Other symptoms have been just headaches alot more then usual, weird cramps and pains in my stomach, tired of walking and out of no where get really tired but not really tired enough to sleep. The other day I was driving my man's mom to work and I felt like I was going to fall alseep behind the wheel and it wasn't even 9am! More sick feeling then usual, I dont know if that is nausea or what but I will be eating and all of a sudden feel sick. Or eat and stop eating then all of sudden just feel starving. The day I got my 'period?' i peed like 7 times within less then 5 hours. Today I feel like someone punched me in my back. I took a test exactly a week ago, it said negative, I might have taken it too early but not I am too scared to take another. Please tell me what you think!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, it is possible to have periods still whilst being pregnant, although not often. It could also be implantation bleeding which some women get. But also when you are trying to conceive it os so easy to look for symptoms and signs because you want it so much that they could appear anyway. Like being nauseous could be down to you stressing and thinking about it so much, same with the tiredness. I'm not saying you are not pregnant because you could be. But i went through this when i was trying to conceive and i think the more i thought about it the longer it took for me to get pregnant! It will happen for you, just relax a bit more, although i know that is easier said than done. I hope these are symptoms of pregnancy and you are pregnant! Do another test and see what it says. Good luck, i hope it works out for you x

  20. QUESTION:
    I just don't get it.These men claiming they were tricked into sex by manipulative women and girls, how?
    How this this possible? After all, men have choices, many means at their disposal to ensure female partner can't get pregnant

    Not one form of contraception, used alone, is 100% effective 100% of the time. You can get a vasectomy, wear a rubber, use spermicidal jellies and creams. Its highly unlikely that with those 3 modes of contraception, used together, will result in a pregnancy. Here's a fourth: only consent to have sex (using all the birth control methods described above) when the woman is least likely to become pregnant (according to her hormonal rhythm). In fact, this is called the "rhythem method" of birth control. This will make it even easier for the girl to not get pregnant if she is not on birth control: pull out before you climax. Now , with all that going for you I suggest you go for it!

    Oh, and before I forget, there's the birth control method called "keep it in your pants". That is the only method that has been proven to be 100% effective 100% of the time.

    What is the Rhythm Method?

    The rhythm method, also known as "fertility awareness," is a method of birth control that uses the menstrual cycle to predict your most fertile time of the month - that is when you are most likely to become pregnant. Once you have identified your most fertile time you simply don't have sex or use a barrier method of birth control during that time period.

    How does it work?

    Fertility awareness birth control methods are based on the fact that:

    sperm may live in the female reproductive tract for up to 7 days
    the female egg lives for only a day
    fertilization may occur even days after intercourse
    "safe days" occur 2 days after ovulation and continue until your next period

    There are several methods of determining which are the most fertile days of your cycle; a family planning clinic or your doctor will suggest one of several methods to help you identify the safest time during your cycle for having intercourse.
    33 minutes ago

    These include the:

    Calendar Rhythm Method - This method requires that you keep track of your cycle for a few months to determine your own individual pattern of ovulation. The pattern will help you keep track of when is most "dangerous" to have sexual intercourse.

    Basal Body Temperature Method - This method involves keeping track of your body temperature so that you can tell when you are ovulating. Body temperature rises two days prior to ovulation.

    Ovulation Method - This method requires you to check your cervical mucus to determine the time of ovulation.

    Symptothermal Method - A combination of the first two methods.

    Ovulation Predictor Kits - Available at the drugstore, these kits are used to test your urine to identify hormones that indicate ovulation is about to occur."

    You and your girlfriend buy a calendar of the month and figure out when she's most fertile, and only have sex when she's least fertile.

    *AND NO SIDE EFFECTS FOR EITHER OF YOU
    WHOOPEE!!!
    Seduced, not tricked? There is no such thing. Forcible "seduction" is called RAPE. So unless they were powerless, as in the case of rape, they engaged in sex voluntarily.
    Flutter, I had to re-post it because it was removed by our resident gang of misogynist hyenas. They don't want the world to know about this method because it would mean they wouldn't be able to have sex with a woman whenever they wanted.
    Alex, you are missing the point. The so-called "MRA's" insist contraception is the woman's responsibility. They don't want to wear condoms, condoms with spemicides, condoms with spemicides and having sex only on the woman's less fertile days, get a vasectomy, wear a condom and use spermicides and have sex only on the woman's less fertile days... etc. If they used all the products and techniques available to them, in combination, the chances of impregnating a woman would be absolute zero.

  21. QUESTION:
    Help on conception please(greatly appreciated)?
    Hello, I am a 20 year old girl with a 27 year old boyfriend. We've been dating a while and both seem to want a child. I have a few questions that need answering and would be appreciative for the help. I have a WomanLog calendar on my iPod touch and It shows when I am ovulating... But also shows fertility dates. Is that the same thing or should we try on a certain date. Second, we chose a name for a girl that we happen to love but my mother doesn't seem to like it... It's Arabella Renée. She also doesn't like the boy name we chose Noah Thomas. What do you guys think of the name, and should I care?

    • ANSWER:
      You both SEEM to want a child or you DO? If anyone isn't 100% sure then it's not time yet.

      Your iPod only shows when you SHOULD be ovulating if your cycle is "normal", so if you want to be 100% sure of your ovulation time you have to track your temp, use ovulation tests, or track your cervical mucus. No device knows for sure.

      Sperm can survive for UP TO 5 days in a woman's body, the egg only 12-24 hours.

      Your fertile window is, therefore, from about 5 days before you ovulate until about 1 day after. You should abstain from sex a few days before your window so he can build up sperm, then during have sex every other day or every day.
      The sex should not just be baby making sex. You should be in the moment and enjoy each other still. Trying tends to cause women not to get pregnant.

Fertility Conception

How To Get Pregnant With A Fertility Bracelet
A fertility bracelet could be the best accessory to put on whenever you ultimately arrived at the decision that it's time to get pregnant, but the "higher powers" just don't seem to be hearing you. It has long been thought that many different stones hold within them the positive healing energy from the earth. By wearing jewelry made from these fertility stones, as a necklace, bracelet or charm, women have felt a sense that their fertility levels surge. After continual use they report that their overall health improved and their nerves calmed down.

For generations women from around the globe have decorated their bodies with precious distinct fertility "gemstones" in an effort to prepare themselves for conception. Many women continued to wear their fertility bracelets long afterwards they had started down their process of carrying a child, and even long after when taking care of their newborn, due to the restorative power they believe these fertility stones possessed.

Fertility bracelets can be made with any stone believed to have healing attributes including Rose Quartz, Mexican Fire Opal, Moonstone, Vessonite, Bloodstone and Rhodonite. These fertility stones have been thought to increase a woman's levels of fertility and revitalize her reproductive organs. Quite a few are considered to have regenerative energies that increases blood flow.
A number of suppliers of fertility bracelets, necklaces and charms carve these stones into symbols of fertility such as Kokopelli, butterflies, eggs and turtles. Turtles have long been considered a effective fertility symbol because they can lay up to 100 eggs at a time year after year. Butterflies represent a symbol of rebirth into a new beginning for a new life by way of metamorphosis.

Southwest Native Americans for hundreds of years made fertility bracelets of Kokopelli, the god of fertility, who is thought to bring the renewal of life through the promise of a successful pregnancy. Eggs are seen as a fertility symbol (think Easter and bunnies). Celebrated early in the spring seen as a time of rebirth; eggs are a direct symbol that the new life begins again.

For many women interested in wearing a fertility bracelet, attractive ones are available on the web, though you can easily make one yourself. You will find companies on the internet that permit you to select the stones and metals you want in your bracelet to be put together in accordance with your individual specifications, and which stones "speak to you", making your chosen fertility bracelet very unique for you.

Whether you believe in the healing energy that fertility stones hold within them and their ability to transfer that energy to you, wearing your unique fertility bracelet to symbolize that you are ready to get pregnant can make a nice fashion statement. If you are interested in it as being If you merely look at a nice piece of jewelry for either yourself, or a nice gift to a friend or acquaintance preparing for conception, fertility bracelets just might be exactly what you're looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are the odds of conception without fertility treatment with PCOS?
    Are there any stats (please include links if you have them)? What percentage of women with PCOS will be able to conceive without fertility treatment? And what percentage will be able to conceive WITH fertility treatment?

    Also does anyone have any personal stories about their own experiences with PCOS and conception?

    • ANSWER:
      A large part of it depends on how bad you have PCOS and what symptoms you have. If you have insulin resistance with your PCOS then you have a higher chance of miscarrying if you do get pregnant (my doc put me on metformin to try to concieve and kept me on it through fertility treatments and during my first trimester of pregnany).
      Some women with PCOS will be able to concieve especially if they lose a lot of weight and if they have normal cycles (be careful because some gynos will tell you this is all you can do and it is a LIE!)
      With the help of a fertility specialist you will have a very high chance of concieving if there are not other barriers to pregnancy.
      Here is my story briefly. I hope it helps. I got my period at 11 yrs old and it wouldnt stop (so I knew something was wrong). After being on my period for almost a year (I would have three or four days off every couple months) I was put on bc. Got married at 18 and got off bc to ttc. Again, periods that wouldn't stop.
      1st doc- declared nothing was wrong and to keep trying
      2nd doc- said lose weight. I lost 50 lbs and no changes.
      3rd doc- said nothing they could do because of my weight.
      4th doc- metformin only.
      5th doc- no diagnosis and put on metformin and chlomid but not monitored.
      8 yrs had passed by now.
      Finally saw a gyno who refered me to the fertility specialist she had used. Within an hour I had the diagnosis PCOS.
      I was given chlomid and metformin again with close monitoring of blood work and ultrasounds every third day. I didn't respond well. So, we switched to injections after maxing out chlomid.
      After 4months I was pregnant with twins.
      Be your own advocate. See a specialist. That is the best thing you can do.
      I hope this helps.

  2. QUESTION:

  3. QUESTION:
    Fertility Fortune or prediction of pregnancy or conception?
    Is there a horoscope that will tell you if you are pregnant or if/when you are likely to concieve? What about a conception date? Im just wondering like where I could have my fertility fortune told?

    • ANSWER:
      use a pendulum. suspend an object that represents you and your husband (i.e. wedding/ engagement ring) from a string of white and hold it above your stomach. if it moves, you are pregnant. but yes, i would take a test to make sure

  4. QUESTION:
    What's a good book to read about fertility, conception & trying to have a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Check out the reviews on Amazon.com. It really is an amazing book, that enables you to understand the way your body works so that you can be in control. Its the book that every woman should read (I also think it wouldn't hurt the guys to read it too).
      It talks about charting your cycles, how to understand changes in temperature, cervical fluid and cervical position, and how these all indicate ovulation. It also helps you identify and correct any possible issues you may have with conception, so that if you need to see a doctor, you can go armed with a wealth of information.
      I bought many books on the subject before my husband and I started trying, and this is the only one I would recommend to a friend.

  5. QUESTION:
    Does the HPV Vaccine affect your fertility/chances of conception while you are taking it?
    My sister is due her second vaccine (of 3) next month, but recently she and her partner have decided to TTC their first baby. She is raring to go, but she is scared that she may have to wait until they are finished before TTC.

    Does anyone know any more about this?

    Thanks
    x

    ( Oh and for those who don't know HPV vaccine is a vaccine to help prevent certain strains of cervical cancer.)

    • ANSWER:
      Give her these links to the HPV vaccine package inserts.

      Gardasil http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM111263.pdf
      Cervarix http://www.fda.gov/downloads/BiologicsBloodVaccines/Vaccines/ApprovedProducts/UCM186981.pdf

      Both brands say that women should not get the vaccine while pregnant. So she should not try to become pregnant while she is still being vaccinated with the HPV vaccine.

      A perfectly valid choice would be to start TTC, and to stop getting the HPV vaccines.

      The effect of the HPV on fertility has only been studied on rats, not humans. So they don't know if the HPV vaccine can affect human fertility.

      Before I get pregnant, I actively try to get toxins out of my body (through organic eating, exercise, sauna, and avoidance of medication). I cannot understand the desire to pump the body full of toxins before pregnancy.

      "Doodlestuff," according to the CDC, "A vaccine series does not need to be restarted, regardless of the time that has elapsed between doses." http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/downloads/child/2010/10_catchup-schedule-pr.pdf (top of page)

  6. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to have problems with fertility or conception as early as 20 years old?

    • ANSWER:
      I had a miscarriage when I was 19, the only time I've ever been prego. I've had unprotected sex lots of times and never ended up pregnant. My mom and all her sisters started having kids at like 15 and never had a single miscarriage...so Im begining to think now, at 20 years old, there's something wrong with my fertility...or maybe I've just been unlucky/lucky thus far.

  7. QUESTION:
    At age 23 what is the rate of conception? And how to fertility issues affect that?
    Two questions. For a 23 year old healthy woman how long does it typically take her to get pregnant what are the statistics on this. Secondly for a woman with a condition like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome what is the rate of conception at a younger age when very actively trying?

    • ANSWER:
      well i know a healthy couple only has a 20% chance of conceiving each month. As far as POS goes i'm not fully sure.

  8. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of conception on day 16?? Dose fertility increase after pregnancy if so how?
    I have a 5 month old. My cycles are 31 days long. Intercorse was on day 16 and 21. I have never took temps, simply used a conception/ due date wheel from Dr. office.
    I've also heard that it is easier to get pregnant after a pregnancy/baby, is that true or just a wives tale?

    • ANSWER:
      According to everything I've ever been taught, read, etc, the most fertile days are 10 days after the start of your period to day 21, so chances are pretty good that you're pregnant.

  9. QUESTION:
    I'm a scorpio and was wondering when fertility and conception is a good time?
    thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      If you really believe that your astrological sign has anything to do with it, then never.
      sorry.

  10. QUESTION:
    Can headache medicines affect fertility and or the conception of a baby?

    • ANSWER:
      No. Unless you're downing a bottle of Tylenol everyday, you shouldn't have to worry about it affecting your fertility.

  11. QUESTION:
    Do prenatal vitamins help induce conception or fertility?
    Me and my hubby just started trying to conceive 2 months ago but I been tracking all my fertility signs(CM,BD).I never had regular periods,my cycles are 53 days long but I am ovulating on cycle day 38. I know women that got pregnant have only 1-4 periods a year.My husband is healthy all the way and I have anemia but I'm taking prenatal vitamins now.My period was always very heavy but only 5 days long until my last period on March 16 when I just started prenatal vitamins 15 days prior to that.It was still 5 days long but every day was much lighter than usual. Do you think the vitamins can help me conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they won't help you conceive.

      You take pre-natal vitamins when trying to get pregnant for the sole purpose of benefiting the baby once you do conceive.

  12. QUESTION:
    What are some all natural things that promote fertility and help with conception?
    I need things that are all natural....not pills or anything. Please help...thank you!!

    • ANSWER:
      My latest thinking is the female orgasm - can't get more natural than that LOL! Certainly makes the act much more fun for us!

      When a woman orgasms her cervix actually dips into the sperm and sort of hoovers them up to help them on their way to Planet Egg, and if your man's spermies aren't the fastest in the swimming olympics then it might give them a super boost!

      Vitex Agnus Castus is a herbal remedy that promotes a healthy menstrual cycle and hormonal balance, as does Evening Primrose Oil.

      Soya milk for a healthy endometrium which I'm drinking by the bucketload and grapefruit juice for promoting healthy cervical mucus.

      I've just had an acupuncture session to help balance my hormones.

      And Yoga and meditation just about keeps everything calm and balanced.

      Much luck - welcome to the TTC Club xx

  13. QUESTION:
    Does the birth control pill affect future fertility/conception?
    My mom won't let me go on the birth control pill because she's convinced it'll make me infertile when i'm older or will cause conception problems for when i actually do want to have a child. Is this true?
    She knows i'm sexually active, so i don't see why she'd be opposed to me doubling up on protection. (Condoms + pill)

    Any of you have parents like this? What did you do about it? Can taking the birth control pill affect fertility?

    Note: I'm 16 so i'd probably be taking it for 7+ years before i even think of having children.
    Thanks to all who answered, i'll be doing a bit of research tonight to show to my mom to defend the pill and my decision on wanting to protect myself.

    I mainly think since she had issues when she was on the pill is why she won't let me take it. :/

  16. QUESTION:
    Alcohol and fertility/conception?
    Obviously if you drink a lot then it is harder for you to get pregnant. But are there longer term issues with your fertility from drinking a lot? If so if you stop drinking will it return to normal or is the damage lasting? :-)

    • ANSWER:
      I think the effect (if any) will reduce over time. I mean the liver can recover if you stop drinking before too much damage has been done.

      It is not a good idea to drink if you are trying to conceive as it can have an effect on the foetus, and if you continue to drink heavily during pregnancy you risk the health of the baby in the long term.

  18. QUESTION:
    Would a lunar eclipse have any effect on fertility or conception?
    I want to know your opinion. I understand that ancient people thought a lunar eclipse was the Mother's cycle, as the moon appears red. I wonder if this type of phenomenon has any kind of influence on fertility and conception.

    Don't think this is crazy either...It *is* a proven fact that womens' cycles do follow the cycles of the moon. Thanks!
    Guys, I understand how a woman's cycle works...being that I am a woman, haha. I was just curious of what everyone else thought of any ties between a lunar eclipse and a heightened chance of conception.

    • ANSWER:
      Only if you have sex during it. :-)

      Yes, women's menstrual periods follow a 28 day cycle, very similar to the moon's cycle of phases. But lunar eclipses do not happen every month; and they don't occur regularly.

      There is no cause-and-effect relationship between eclipses and fertility.

  19. QUESTION:
    Is there any connection between a lunar eclipse and conception or fertility?

    In response to some: Anyone who knows anything about magick knows that it's a supplement to all of the action oriented things one can do to support their goal. So, yes, we're having sex, yes, we're having sex during my fertile times of the month, and yes, we're seeing a fertility specialist. Witches don't expect the universe to deliver their wishes on a silver platter.
    Also, keep in mind, a spell is like a prayer....I may not be Christian but I respect your beliefs, please have the same respect for me. Jesus was a loving, accepting, tolerant person.... Perhaps you should follow his lead....He would be proud....

    • ANSWER:
      I'd add the Ace of Wands, and the Four of Wands. This has come up in readings I've done as pregnancy. The person was already pregnant, but that's what you want to create the possibility, and power of attraction, by believing it as happened.

      You also might want to consider choosing a card to express the male perspective. Strength, Knight or King that fits with the person.

  21. QUESTION:
    Foods to increase fertility and conception?

    • ANSWER:
      taking a dose of robitussin helps your cervical mucous to be the right consistency for sperm. Also make sure you have plenty of folic acid (orange juice), to help with the conception. It doesn't hurt to start taking daily vitamins now- flinstones plus iron. If that makes you consipated, increase your roughage or take come colace.

  24. QUESTION:
    pregnacy, fertility,conception?
    I was on the depo shot for 1 year. I had a period once every 8 weeks. I had my last shoot in October 07. In January 08 i went on birth control to regulate my periods. I am wanting to have another baby. I stoped my birthcontrol pills the middle of April and have had 1 period on May 1st. I am wondering if I have a better chance of getting pregnat from being on the pills after the shot.

    • ANSWER:
      I wouldn't think so...it take awhile to get the medication out of your system after being on the depo and also the birth control pills.

  25. QUESTION:
    Any data on how much fertility charting increases conception rates?
    Does anyone know (based on research of some sort) by how much one's conception chances are increased with fertility charting?

    Like, I know that the odds of conceiving are about 24% per cycle for a couple who simply stops using birth control and has unprotected sex.

    What are the odds for a couple that estimates the most fertile time of the month (by dividing the woman's cycle length in two) and has sex around the middle of the cycle?

    What are the odds for a couple who consciously tracks the woman's fertility signs and has sex on the 3 fertile days leading up to ovulation and the ovulation day itself -- regardless of whether these days fall precisely in the middle of her cycle or not?

    I have started tracking my bbt and other fertility signs. If I do this for a full year before starting to TTC and I have enough data that I can reliably predict when I will be most fertile and I have sex on each of the most fertile days of my month, what are the chances that I will become pregnant in the first cycle that I try?

    • ANSWER:
      First and foremost, you have a 25% chance of conceiving under the BEST circumstances. That means, perfect fertile health, perfect sex timing, healthy eggs and sperm, excellent hormones... all that combined is what gives you a 25% chance. Anything less than that gives you less of a chance each cycle.

      So temping doesn't hike up the 25%, it puts you AT the 25% chance.

      Your two HIGHEST fertile days is the day before ovulation and the day of. If you cover BOTH those days EACH cycle you will then give yourself the maximum chance... 25%. And yes, that's regardless of whether those 2 days land on cycle day 14, cycle day 25, or cycle day 50.

      If you're not tracking your cycles on FertilityFriend.com, you should. It's user-friendly and free. You can join the community (when you're ready) for a membership fee, which I think is well worth it because you will be getting and giving (as well as learning) information from others.

      Good luck.

    Conception using Clearblue Fertility Monitor?
    My question is, I had an ovulation bar on my monitor today...I had BD the day before and the day before that, and I'm sure a lot last week also. So if I do BD again tonight would that make my chances higher? Also, does it matter how much he **** in me (sorry if TMI), I know there are millions of sperms so I would think it wouldn't matter, but I'm not sure.

    Can sulfa drugs affect fertility or conception?
    I've had a few UTIs over the last several months and taken sulfa drugs to cure them. My doc knows I am trying to conceive and has told me that the drugs will not harm anything, not me physically or any unknown unborn baby. I was just wondering if anyone had heard any different or experienced anything with this. She hasn't made me see a urologist yet because I only get them after I ovulate, and she thinks I'm having too much sex around that time trying to conceive. So if I take the sulfa drugs shortly after ovulation (on the months I get a UTI) am I damaging chances of conception? My doc says no, but I wanted to know what you guys thought. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I know that sulfa drugs are not recommended for use very close to term, or in newborns, or while nursing a newborn because they can cause a specific medical issue in a young baby. But I'm not aware of any research that links them with infertility or failure to conceive.

I heard it helps to be on bottom but I honestly dont believe it. I also heard Yellow # 5 can lower sperm count so things like Mountain Dew arnt good for guys. I have also heard that It is best If the guy not drink Caffiene for like a week or so and then about half an hour before you try then drink a cup of coffee or whatever and thats supposed to help. That one I actually read in a medical book about conception but I dont remember which one. Good Luck!!

    help! ways to boost fertility and chance of conception!?
    myself and my partner have been trying for a baby for almost a year now, we sadly had a miscarriage in april and decided then that we would do whatever we could to improve our chances before trying again. we get married in exactly 9months so i am looking for things i can do for the next 6-8months to prepare my body for pregnancy and to give me a better chance of concieving.

    i am early 20's and healthy, normal body weight (maybe slightly larger than id wish to be but normal!) i eat relatively healthily and do not regularly drink alcohol because lets face it.... wedding are expensive! my partner is also early 20's fit and healthy. i m not to the point where i am checking my ovulation cycles because i feel if i get too uptight about it it will never happen. my family have a history of very high fertility rates so i cant see that being the problem.

    What are the best kinds of fertility treatments??
    This is for anyone who has used fertility drugs to help with conception. I am just wondering which ones where the best, I know everyones opinions will vary but I would like to know what you all think. I dont want to try IVF just yet but would like to know what else is out there and what kind of results everyone got while using them.

    • ANSWER:
      It really does depend on your specific problem. Have you been trying to conceive for one year without luck? Have you had a tubal ligation or tubal ligation reversal? For most women who are ovulating on their own, fertility medications are not needed. Try using an ovulation predictor kit to be sure that you are ovulating. You use the kits like a home pregnancy test by testing your urine for the presence of LH hormone. If your cycles are every 28 days, begin testing on cycle day 10. Test once daily until you begin to see a positive indicator, then test twice daily until you note a definite positive. If you get to cycle day 15 without noting the LH surge, you should check with your ob-gyn or RE.

  42. QUESTION:
    How long does it take for conception? And do i have an open window around my fertility time?
    im 28/female.I know i can get pregnant because im already a proud mother. Im sorry if I sound like all the other conceiving questions but i really want to know what others think. ive noticed that ive taken a few different ovulation calculator tests online and they all have around the same dates but not quite the same...some say my fertility window is from the 23 to the 25 and another one said from the 25th to the 28th..my question is, is if I have sex (for instance) the day before a fertile day, do I still have that chance of getting pregnant? Does it take a day for the sperm to reach where it needs to go? How long does it take for conception? Please help me out with this if you can :) . thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      I am pregnant with my second I have learned that it can take up to 12hrs for the sperm to reach the egg and the egg can lay dormant for up to 5-7 before reproduction begins. Forget what the calculator says. Go by the 1st day of your last period and count 14 days from there and that is the day you are ovulating. I know because both of my pregnancy's were on that day no if,ands or buts about it. Most Doctors if not all will tell you to count the day before the 14Th day and the day after. In another words the 13Th, 14Th and 15Th day after your period. So if you start your period on the 2ND your ovulation days would be 15Th,16Th and 17Th.Good Luck.

    Fertility, Irregular Periods, And Conception?
    My periods have been irregular since 9th grade. Now im in college and engaged. But I have concerns about starting a family. My periods kind of got back on track in September after being on DEPO(before depo I was on the patch and pill). Ive been off DEPO for about a year. Well anyways...I havent gotten my period...not this month or last month. I thought I was pregnant but...NOPE. I thought it might be that chance that I would be one of those women that dont find out till they are 3 mos pregnant. I was just wondering...IF YOU HAVE IRREGULAR PERIODS CAN YOU STILL CONCIEVE? WHAT TYPES OF DRUGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR WOMEN WHO CANT GET PREGNANT EASILY? HAVE ANY WOMEN GONE THROUGH THIS?

    • ANSWER:
      yes i did. i never had regular periods but when i quit taking birth control i missed3 months out he year and i got pregnant it just takes some women longer to get pregnant than others it can take anywhere from 1 month to 2 or3 years after you stop taking birth control as far as the drugs go you should ask your gynocologist or an ob doctor that but i never took any kind of fertility drug

  44. QUESTION:
    Are there any natural fertility treatments?

  45. QUESTION:
    How can I naturally decrease my fertility/cause infertility?
    I heard alcohol and caffeine consumption helps lessen the risk of conception, so I'm on the right track. But are there any supplements that are known to decrease a woman's fertility? I already have an IUD, but it never hurts to play it safe. I do not care about the possibility of being permanently unable to bear children; that would actually be a plus. Also a plus are things that raise the risk of miscarriage if one of those parasites manage to make it to implantation. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Why on earth would you want to do this? Especially if you are young, your probably going to regret this in the future and can harm yourself by taking anything. If your doing for the reason of being able to have unprotected sex and not get pregnant, there's still STDs

Fertility Baby

Start a Healthy Pregnancy Diet before Pregnancy to Increase Fertility
Eating for two before pregnancy has many benefits. The best elements of a healthy pregnancy diet increase the health and function of mom's body before pregnancy begins. The increase in vitality attributed to dietary changes has been linked to an increase in fertility putting baby dreams on the fast track to becoming reality for many couples.

Is Infertility Caused by Unhealthy Fats?

Every individual should have heard by now the dangers of certain types of fats in relation to others. Yet much of the population remains entrenched in their poor eating habits because these fats come encased in the form of so many tasty treats.

More motivation is needed to make the change. Pregnancy provides just such an incentive. The following study, however, should be your motivation for change, especially for couples desiring to conceive.

In Denmark, the government recently placed severe restrictions on the use of trans fat in foods. The limitations are so stringent it has been eliminated from the Danish food supply. An interesting side effect of this decree has been a marked rise in childbirth.
Researchers are speculating that ill health effects of trans fats goes well beyond the cardiac system and actually places a stranglehold on fertility.

Baby-to-Be and the Thief Myth

A healthy pregnancy diet also helps the body prepare for the demands of pregnancy by getting nutrient stores well supplied before baby begins to raid the larder. The persistent idea of baby's ability to steal the nutrients it needs for healthy growth and development from mom's body is only true if mom's body has enough to spare.

The body is an amazing organism, whose first priority is to self protect. When mom's own nutritional needs are harmed by baby's needs, her body will selfishly withhold vital nutrients.

This leaves baby out in the cold, especially if a poor diet for pre pregnancy is followed by eating habits that in no way resemble a healthy pregnancy diet.

Eating right before pregnancy is like an insurance policy for baby's well being. If mom is too nauseated to eat a healthy balanced meal for a few days, the body is well stocked to support both mother and child through those rough times.

The First Few Weeks of Pregnancy

Setting aside possible impacts on fertility, espousing the best diet for first trimester pregnancy before conception is a good idea. Many women are as much as 8-12 weeks pregnant before they ever even know their little bundle of joy is on the way.

This is significant because during those first few days and weeks every major body and organ system is formed. Nutrition for pregnant women and their developing babies is especially important during this critical time of brain, heart, lung and body development.

Safe guarding baby's development before the positive pregnancy test announces his or her reality is only accomplished when mothers-to-be consume a diet for pre pregnancy based on nutritious needs of a healthy pregnancy diet.

Fertile Phase

The Quick Guide How To Get Pregnant With Twins The Important Steps You Need To Know
Nowadays many married people are asking themselves what it would feel like to get the opportunity to have twins, triplets, or even quadruplets in their families. The real chance to raising two children that are of the same age would be a wonderful experience. However, the practical process of how to get pregnant twins involves some amount of luck factor in it. Others even say that succeeding in this venture is a total act of fate. But, there are ways or steps that will help you achieve a twin pregnancy naturally and I will be showing them to you in here.

There are many people who are suggesting that the process of how to get pregnant with twins can be made short and easy through the use of in vitro fertilization or IVF. However, this method can actually increase your chances of getting triplets or quadruplets instead of twin babies. In fact some women who have subjected themselves to this procedure have reported to have conceived 5 or more babies.

It is the main reason why natural methods for getting pregnant with twin babies. Before we are going into the natural steps that you can take to help you get pregnant with two babies simultaneously, I will first give you a basic definition of twins. The term twins basically refers to conceiving two babies at the same time during a single pregnancy and delivering them both in one labor. In some way, pregnancies that produce twins can be seen as miracles as to the reason that a woman's ovaries only release one egg cell each month. This is intended to be fertilized by one sperm cell. After this, an embryo will then be formed, which will eventually turn into a fetus later on.

During instances of twin conceptions, the embryo divides into two equal sections. These two divisions will contain the same amount and type of DNA, which means that they will develop into babies that are of the same gender and appearance. This is what is referred to as identical twins. On the other hand, there are also instances wherein two egg cells are released by a woman's ovaries and these become fertilized by two separate sperm cells. Pregnancies like these lead to fraternal twins.

Try Chow Down Cassava And Yams

These two food items are made from rooted vegetables, which are considered to be of great help to short and thin women who would like to have twin babies. This has actually been claimed by the National Organization of Mothers of Twins. This step works because wild yams, maca, and cassava are known to be helpful in increasing the progesterone levels of the human body. Progesterone is a hormone that stimulates the body to hyperovulate. Aside from these foods, eating whole grains, walnuts, tofu, and wheat germ will also be of great help.

Try to Boost up Those Pounds
Obtaining or increasing one's weight is one of the most effective ways to achieving twin pregnancy. This may not be that fun to do for a woman but if you're really serious about conceiving two babies at one time, this will be a worthy sacrifice. There are different ways to lose weight after delivery any way so you can still get that old sexy figure of yours back. Obtaining weight has been specifically observed to be helpful for conceiving fraternal twins.

The final step you can give a try would be to conceive at a later age. It is said that older women have a higher chance to get pregnant with twin babies than those who are younger. Women who are over 40 years of age have been statistically proven to have an 17 percent increase in chance of getting pregnant with twin babies.

Female Get Pregnant

Can I Get Pregnant Without Having Sex?
"I have had a boyfriend for over two years. He wants to have sex without a condom and says he will pull out before he ejaculates. The other day my boyfriend and I were fooling around a lot but we did not go all the way. He ejaculated near my vagina but that was it. Is it possible to get pregnant without having sex?"

Well the first thing any doctor will say is ANYTHING is possible. Basically, if any semen was near your vagina, it is possible for you to get pregnant. It only takes a very small amount of semen to enter your vagina, and make it to your uterus, for you to get pregnant.

If you are having sex or even almost having sex, you can get pregnant. Any time there is ejaculation and semen around; it is possible that you could get pregnant. Using protection even during foreplay can help reduce your risk of becoming pregnant.

Many women believe that if they are not having intercourse with vaginal penetration, then they do not need to take precautions. This is just not true. You are susceptible to pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases if you are being this intimate with your partner.
There are many women who say they did not have full intercourse and now they are pregnant; as well as women who contract sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, vaginal warts, HIV and AIDS. If you are going to be sexually intimate with your partner in any way, you are exposing yourself to these possibilities.

For years, it has been argued about whether the penis actually has to be in the vagina during ejaculation in order for the woman to get pregnant. It is not the case that the penis has actually been in the vagina. This goes for the often-tried birth control method of "pulling out" as well. Men release a pre-ejaculation fluid that contains sperm. This pre-ejaculation does not
offer the man the same sensations as regular ejaculation, so the man does not pull his penis out during the pre-ejaculation. This is how many women get pregnant even though their partner's penis was not in their vagina during the ejaculation.

If you think you may be pregnant you should take a home pregnancy test as soon as you have missed your period. Or if you want to know the results earlier, you can visit your doctor or a local family planning clinic.

If you find out later that you are pregnant with an unplanned pregnancy, it can be very scary. Today there are many options available if you have an unplanned pregnancy.You can visit Lifetime Adoption for more information on adoption, and to chat live. In today's adoption world, you can choose how involved you want to be with the adoptive family. Open adoption offers women the option of finding a forever family for their baby, while maintaining contact through letters and pictures.

Fertile Days Ovulation

Ways on How to get Pregnant Fast
Perhaps you have come to some extent in existence whenever you feel ready to become mother? Congratulations! It's among the greatest steps it's possible to take, for this can change your existence completely. If it is the first time, make sure to have patience, it could take a while before you get pregnant. Usually it takes place within six to 12 several weeks, but it's not the same as couple to couple.

If you wish on how to get pregnant fast, the very first factor to complete is relax and allow your body get ready for pregnancy. Before you begin taking any drugs or undergo a surgery procedure, provide your body an opportunity. Make certain you like yourself because you are attempting to conceive should not be the primary reason behind being intimate together with your partner. This may lead to constant expectation from the very good news in addition to constant stress, the worst factor for you. Stress can prevent ovulation from occurring, or influence your menstrual period to ensure that it might be tough to predict your fertile days.

Ovulation is essential since it allows you to conceive, so pay attention to the body, follow your cycles and you'll have the ability to determine whenever your fertile days are. You may also discover whenever your fertile days are by utilizing saliva tests, which measure your PH levels. Another common way is calculating the basal body's temperature. It's the cheapest temperature of the body when you're resting. It drops just a little before ovulation, after which increases just a little for a few days. You should also seek ways to increase fertility to help you more in getting pregnant fast.

Opinions on the potency of particular positions are contrasting. Some say it doesn't really matter, while some think that the missionary position is the greatest to conceive fast because it facilitates the sperm to get involved with the uterus. Anyway, whatever positions you want, it needs practicing them a minimum of three occasions per week, just in case your ovulation doesn't happen whenever you expect. Keep in mind the egg survives for around 24 hrs, as the sperm lives as much as 5 days.

Additionally, you can start altering your way of life. This is the time for you and your spouse to obtain as healthy as you possibly can. You can begin with food since some meals will help you conceive fast, while other meals will make it a little harder. The two of you should begin taking more vitamins via a balanced diet including veggies, fruits, grains, and meals wealthy in magnesium and calcium. It's also wise to begin taking folate since it plays a huge role in the introduction of your child.

What the two of you should avoid is junk food, alcohol, caffeine, and smoking. These could lower your odds of conceiving a child as well as result in a miscarriage. If you're overweight, start going on a diet, as that may be among the causes for difficulties to get pregnant fast.

Exercises are essential as well, so some exercises regularly. An excessive amount of sitting or laying isn't good to improve your health, particularly if you are to possess a baby. For this reason it's about time you began working out. It may be anything that best suits you - visiting the gym, running, swimming, or simply walking.

Should you still haven't handled to conceive afer twelve months, it's time for you to visit a specialist or possibly try artificial insemination. It's costly, but you'll have your child or even even two at the same time!

Finally, don't quit simply because it isn't happening as quickly as you wished it might. Eventually, you're going to get pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Are your fertile days/ovulation from 11-14 days after the first day of your period?
    I have heard that the ovulation days are from 11-14 from the first day that your period starts. For example, I got my period yesterday(March 16) would that means that my fertile days would be from March 26-29??. I need to be really exact cause I´m not having any sex. I´m planning on getting an artificial insemination(home insemination) so timing is everything! Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation days are calculated based on the luteal (post-ovulation) phase, not the start of your cycle. The average ovulation time is 12-16 days BEFORE your next period. So, if you have a 24 day cycle, likely ovulation days are 8-12; if you typically have a 32 day cycle ovulation will likely be days 16-20. Ovulating 10-14 days would be based on a 26 day cycle.

      In your case, take your average cycle length and subtract 12 and 16 from it to get your most likely days. Keep in mind this is only a mathematical estimate. Make sure to also pay attention to cervical mucus and track through ovulation predictor tests for the most accurate timing.

      Good luck and lots of baby dust!!!

  2. QUESTION:
    If my period started on April 29th and ended on may 3th, when are my fertile and ovulation days?
    I just don't know how to figure this out, when will it be my ovulation and fertile days? Can someone help me and explain me how to do it? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Righto!

      The menstrual cycle is generally a 28 day period. The day you start your period (April 29th) is counted as day 1 in your menstrual cycle.

      When you are ovulating, you are considered to be the most fertile and likely to have a baby. Women usually ovulate on the 14th day of the cycle. So, count 14 days after April 29th. That's May 13th. Around May 13th, assuming you are having a regular period, your ovum is released. The days 12 - 16 days after you start your period (for you, May 11th to May 15th) will be your most fertile period.

  3. QUESTION:
    What's the difference between Fertile days and Ovulation days?
    Like should you not have sex on fertile days or ovulation days ... or both?

    Which do you have a higher chance of getting pregnant on the fertile days or ovulation days?

    I have an app on my phone, and it tells me about when my periods are coming, ovulation days, and fertile days. But I don't really know the difference. hah. Thanks <3

    • ANSWER:
      Every month there is about a week of time where women are fertile. Usually 10-14 weeks after the first day of the last period. However, there is only one day that the egg is released, usually on day 14. Though there are still fertile days where you may see an increase in stretchy cervical mucus- and it means youre fertile because sperm can live up to 5 days or so. So even if the egg is released just one day, if there are sperm waiting it can meet up with the egg...

      You have a higher chance of pregnancy on the fertile days because it takes time for the sperm to swim to meet the egg. Having sex on your EXACT ovulation day often doesnt lead to pregnancy because the egg would die long before the sperm make it....
      They say the best time to become pregnant is 2 days before ovulation (when the egg is actually released) because it takes time for the sperm to swim to meet the egg. Either way to avoid pregnancy it is best to have sex on none of the fertile days because theres always a chance you can ovulate early or late or the sperm can live longer along with the egg making you fertile that whole week. When the cervical mucus lessens, usually ovulation is slim.

  4. QUESTION:
    What's the difference between fertile days and ovulation?
    I just wanna know what's the difference fertile days and a ovulation day? I'm family planning, I know I should ask the DR but i have a long way to an appointment! plz help!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      you are fertile 4 days before ovulation and one day after ovulation. this is called your fertile phase. ovulation is when the egg is rippened and ready to be fertilized.

  5. QUESTION:
    Unprotected on two days that were fertile and ovulation day, could I be pregnant or sick with something else?
    My husband and I had sex on two of the days that were my fertile days and my ovulation day. Yes. I was unprotected. Now, I feel so sick. I feel run down and nausea. It seems a bit early for symptoms because I am not due to come on until the 27th. I really don't recall anything from my pregnancy with our son, so I am at a loss. Could I be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like you could be having another bundle of joy! I have 3 daughters and am 36 weeks with my 4th, a boy! With my 3 girls I felt the symptoms of pregnancy within the first 2-3 weeks, but with this baby I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 6 1/2 weeks! Every pregnancy is different, I would suggest taking a otc test, if it comes back neg, and you are really stressing about it, call your doctor and ask if they will run a blood pregnancy test on you which is A LOT more sensitive to the hormone hcg that is the hormone released into your blood and urine by a growing pregnancy ( it is detected by urine tests, but takes longer to show a positive in a urine test). I wish you the best of luck, don't stress to much!

  6. QUESTION:
    What is the difference between ovulation days and fertile days?
    I know this may sound dumb but what is the difference between your ovulation days and your fertile days. When I plug all my info into a fertility calendar it tells me my fertile days and my ovulation day. Also, how would you know your day of conception if you have several fertile days?

    • ANSWER:
      Thats a good ? I believe you have more fertile days than ovulation days. You can still get pregnant on those days

  7. QUESTION:
    Im confused about the fertile days and ovulation please help?
    So heres some background info, the next FIRST day of my period is Nov. 24th.
    My question is when would I be most likely to become pregnant? and when would my fertile days, and ovulation days be. Im confused about the 2, and every website I look at is different. Please help!

    • ANSWER:
      You will ovulate around December 8th and your fertile days are between Dec 6 - 11. Usually 2 weeks after the 1st day of your period is roughly when ovulation occurs.

      http://www.mymonthlycycles.com was the best website for me when I needed to track my cycle.

  8. QUESTION:
    What is the chance of conceiving during ovulation and very fertile days?
    My husband and I have decided to get pregnant again. We have 2 yr old daughter, and are wanting another child. My question is what are the chances of actually conceiving on peak ovulation days and on high fertile days?

    • ANSWER:
      I am in your exact situation..currently 6dpo and waiting...
      Personally, i find it very discouraging to read that under PERFECT circumstances you only have a 25-30% chance of concieveing. Unfortuanly, this seems to be true, but how can it make sense with the millions of teenagers who are getting pregnant only having unprotected sex a few times! And then here we are..taking our temp's, invadeing our va-jay-jay's trying to decipher cervical mucous...its sad, but true. I wish you the best of luck and hope you are in that 25-30 %

      (thats just my little rant for the day...sorry!)

  9. QUESTION:
    What is the possiblity and percentage that a women will concieve during fertile days or on ovulation day?
    My husband and I had sex several times this weekend and I found out that those were my fertile days and ovulation was suppose to take place on Monday but of course my last period went off two days early which may have altered ovulation day so it could have been actually one of those days. I wanted to know how high of a possibility it is that I could have concieved. I know that sex at ovulation doesn't always guarantee a pregnancy for some women. My period is due to come on around july 24 so if I did concieve would i miss this period or august.

    • ANSWER:
      If you're under 30, and you're not on birth control, then there is a one in four chance of conceiving any given month, as long as there aren't any other factors involved. However, most people don't realize that personal lubricants (like K-Y jelly and AstroGlide) are too acidic for sperm to survive in, so they act as an inherent contraceptive/spermicide, and they almost can prevent pregnancy on their own, especially if a man has a lower than normal sperm count. :) Good luck!

  10. QUESTION:
    Which days is the ovulation, which days are fertile and which days aren't?
    I'm asking this cause I wanna avoid getting pregnant! Besides using a condom, this should help too, right? I can't get on the pill, but I still wanna do something to help me avoid it, and be as sure as possible. So please explain which days around my period are the mentioned ones: the ovulation days, the fertile days, and how many days before or after the period are NOT FERTILE?
    I'd really appreciate your help.
    Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      You usually ovulate on day 14 of your cycle - this is based on a 28 day cycle, with day 1 being the first day of your period. Sperm can last about 5 days in your vagina, therefore you are at highest chance of getting pregnant if you have sex between days 9-15 of your cycle.

  11. QUESTION:
    To concieve can I just have sex when my saliva ovulation predictor indicates my fertile days?
    It's says it indicates 3-4 days before ovulation occurs. Previously I have been having sex once a day over my fertile 5 days and then every other day throughout my cycle. this has not proved successful yet and it's been over 6 months. So I thought I should just try cramming as much sex into those 3 or 4 days as possible. Maybe twice a day? would this be more productive?

    • ANSWER:
      Many people get pregnant that way. I went ahead and had sex twice a day on my fertile days the month I finally got pregnant. Go for it!

  12. QUESTION:
    Can i get pregnat during my not fertile or ovulation days?
    I had sex with my boyfriend, only for a couple of minutes, he didn't cum, he was with a headache. I wasn't in my fertile or ovulation days. What are the chances of me getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Its possible. Sperm can live up to 5 days, and just because he didn't "Ejaculate" doesn't mean anything. Sperm is also found in pre ejacutlation.

  13. QUESTION:

    i had sex on fertile days (1st and 2nd) and ovulated the 3rd, so what are my chances of concieving.also my doctor said that you fertile for two days.

    • ANSWER:
      You are normally very fertile the two days before ovulation and the sperm can survive also so normally they say the two days before ovulation is the best time to have sex as the sperm will be there waiting for the egg to be released

  19. QUESTION:
    Confused about my ovulation and fertile days?
    So my next period is on Nov. 24th, I have a normal 28 day cycle. I looked online to see when my next ovulation and fertile days are, but every website I check is different. Is there anyone out there that knows this topic well? When would I be most fertile? and what is the difference between the 2?

    • ANSWER:
      Fertile days means that if you have intercourse during those days, it is possible for you to get pregnant. Ovulation day is the day when the egg leaves the ovary. So if you have intercourse on that day, you'll have the highest number of live sperms trying to meet the egg because the sperms can meet the egg without having to wait. As such, ovulation day is the day when you are most likely to get pregnant.

  20. QUESTION:
    how many days after ovulation bleeding are fertile days?
    i had ovulation bleeding for 2 days from 10 oct to 12 oct! can anyone guide me that how many days are fertile days to concieve? i had a m/c last month and had undergone d&e! i am really desperate to concieve again so that v both can cum out of the loss!

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation bleeding could occur before or after ovulation... Ovulation happens with most women 2 weeks BEFORE their next period. So for example, if you have a 30 day cycle, day 16 would more than likely be ovulation day. You would base sexual intercourse around that day, like have sex every other day 3-5 days before your ovulation day, on ovulation day, and every other day after for another 3-5 days. This is what I FINALLY tried after 2 years of Ttc and now I am 15w4d pregnant with my first. Good luck and I hope this helps!!!

  21. QUESTION:
    I am one week before ovulation, is this my fertile time NOW or not for a few more days?
    I know my fertile days are the day of and the day before ovulation, just wondering if sex now could still result in pregnancy or not?

    • ANSWER:
      Sperm can live up to 5 days in your body. So if you are really one week before ovulation, you won't be really fertile for a few more days. However, I don't see how you could know for sure that you are one week before ovulation. It's not always predictable or regular. You could say you are one week before the time you would normally ovulate, in which case you would normally not be fertile now. But if you happen to ovulate just a few days earlier than normal in this cycle you might be fertile now. You can't know for sure when you will/did ovulate in this cycle until after it has happened.

  22. QUESTION:
    When are usually the fertile days? Ovulation days?

  23. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant on your 5 fertile days? I know you can on your ovulation day, and can you the day after?
    I did the ovulation caculator and I am fertile for 5 days (I acutally bought the fertility test too and it said the same thing) and I ovulate 1 of the days. It has that I am fertile the 3 days before ovulation the day and the day after can you still get pregnant your last fertile day after your ovulation day?

    • ANSWER:
      Sperm live for up to 5 days in fertile cervical mucus, so yes, you're 'fertile' for up to 5 days before ovulation. They live and lie in wait for the egg to be released. The egg lives for *12 - 24 hours* So you're fertile after ovulation for just as long as the egg lives. If it isn't fertilized, it dies and you'll get your period at the end of your luteal phase (from ovulation to your period).

  24. QUESTION:
    Are you still fertile 5 days before ovulation if you don't have good cervical mucus?
    They say you're fertile for 5 days before ovulation..
    I've been taking Evening Primrose Oil to increase the quality/quantity of my cervical mucus.. not that I didn't have any before, it's just that I think that I could have better/more CM.
    Anyhow, I wondered if you were still fertile 5 days before ovulation if you didn't have a lot of fertile cervical mucus.
    Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      The best time to have sex is when you notice the eggwhite cervical fluid. This is just before you ovulate. When you notice this, have sex every 36 hours to have the sperm waiting for the egg instead of the other way around.

      I used this method after 11 months of TTC and got pregnant the first month.

  25. QUESTION:
    What does it mean Ovulation Days and fertile days?
    could you explain to me what days those are good for me to start trying or what they mean? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      "Fertile days" refers to the days you are likely to get pregnant if you have sex. "Ovulation day" refers to the day when you are ovulating. The day of ovulation is when you are most fertile.

      You can use an online ovulation calculator such as http://www.ovulation-calculator.org/ to calculate your own fertile days and ovulation days.

  26. QUESTION:
    Do you have intercourse on the most fertile days before ovulation?
    I'm using the ovulation calendar for the first time.. me and my husband are trying to get pregnant. My nurse put me on clomiphene because I was not ovulating each month. My period this month started on the 11th and ended on the 17th. My nurse told me to have intercourse between the 10th and 16th of my cycle. Me and my husband had intercourse yesterday which is the 19th. Can I still get pregnant even though we had intercourse on the 9th day of my cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey There,

      What you need to do is to have sex every day or every 2nd day of your cycle starting at day 7 or 8 until about day 20....this way you will cover all angels. You could ovulate early or late - not every woman ovulates on day 14.... I have ovulated on day 17 this month.......

      Keep an eye on your cervical mucus too - and remember when you see egg white cervical mucus, that's when you are most fertile

      Good luck and keep us posted - tons of baby dust to you xxxxxx

  27. QUESTION:
    WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FERTILE DAYS & DAY OF OVULATION!?
    What is the difference between the DAY OF OVULATION & FERTILE DAYS?

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation is when your egg drops from the fallopian tubes. The egg is then fertile for only 24 hours. Fertile days is approx. 3 days prior to and including ovulation because the sperm lasts 3-5 days. Ovulation is approx. 14 days before your period if you have regular cycles.

  28. QUESTION:
    How often should my husband and I have sex during our fertile days and ovulation?
    I would like to know if having sex multiple times a day during this period is bad or just doing it once a day is sufficient.

    • ANSWER:
      My ob/gyn said every other day is good enough, but that if we wanted to do it every day, that was fine too. Several times a day won't increase your chances, since he's already sending millions of sperm into you with the first time, but it will reduce your husband's sperm count for the next day.

  29. QUESTION:
    When are your fertile days and ovulation day?

    I don't know when is my fertile days and ovulation.?
    I do not know when is my fertile days and ovulation days, my last period was 25th May 2008 and last cycle was 36 days. Can anyone suggest the best days to have sex and increase my chances to get prego? Should we have sex only during the fertile days? Please HELP......

    • ANSWER:
      To find out when you are ovulating (when your egg drops waiting to be fertilized)
      count 14 days from the first day of your period, you got your period on the 25th
      so you would start ovulating tomarrow the 8th (could be a couple days before or after) and lasts 24 - 48 hrs, so today thru the 11th is your best chances of getting pregnant...you will notice a heavy stringy discharge and a rise in body temp...after sex rest for 30 min. don't go to the bathroom, shower...
      Good luck to you.

  31. QUESTION:
    How do I know the days when I am fertile/ovulation?
    I am trying to get pregnant and want to know the days when I am fertile. I have heard we are fertile/ovulating some 3-4 days in a month. I dont wanna try with an ovulation test cause that only tells you some 24 hrs before the exact ovulation date. I need to know since the FIRST day I become fertile. What can I do to find out the soonest possible? If there a visible change in the mocus or not?

    • ANSWER:
      If your period is regular, you can try an online ovulation calculator (for example http://www.ovulation-calculator.org/ ) to pinpoint your fertile period.

      If your period is irregular, you'll want to watch out for your ovulation symptoms. The most common ovulation symptoms include mild abdominal cramps and changes in cervical mucus. You can also measure your basal body temperature (basal body temperature will raise when you ovulate) or use an ovulation predictor kit, which is based on your hormone level.

  32. QUESTION:
    What's the different from fertile days and ovulation days?
    Thanks:)

    • ANSWER:
      you ovulate about 14 days before your period is due. That is only a textbook suggestion, every woman is differnt - you may be off consistently by a few days plus or minus, or you might be very irregular. Without tests, you would not know for sure.

      Sperm can live in the uterus waiting for the egg for 2 or 3 days, possibly up to 5. The egg will die if not fertizied within a day or so. So ovulation lasts maybe 2 days or so.

      So your fertile days are good days to have sex - or bad days, depending on what you are trying to (not) accomplish. From about 4 days before ovulation to a day or two after you are fertile, and unprotected sex could result in pregnancy.

      The rule of thumb is that if egg and sperm are together that month, the odds of pregnancy "catching" are bout 1 in 4 (for a woman under 30). However, every woman, every pregnancy is different; some get pregnant first and only time, some take months or years. Which type are you? Only one way to find out.

      OTOH, ovulation could happen way off schedule; the human body can do odd things. If it does, how would you know unless you get one of those 9-month souvenirs? Couples using the calendar for birth control are often called "parents".

      Use protection every time.

      Good luck!

  33. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of conceiving 9 days before ovulation and 3 days before your fertile window starts?
    If you have intercourse 9 days before ovulation but 3 days before your fertile window starts what are the chances of becoming pregnant? Is it possible to conceive if you have intercourse even before your 5 day fertile window starts? Or does it need to be within that fertile period

    • ANSWER:
      If you ovulated 9 days after having sex, the possibility of pregnancy is very, very unlikely. The longest sperm can live in your body is 7 days, and that is rare, and stretching it. The average life span of sperm is 3 day, but they can live up to 5 days.

      You start to become fertile 5-7 days prior to ovulation. (7 being the max) You are very fertile the 3 days prior to ovulation, and at your peak fertility the day before and the day of ovulation. It is best to have sex at least within the 3 days prior to ovulation for the best chance of pregnancy. Sex 9 days before ovulation isn't very promising, sadly. Next time if possible, be sure to start having sex at least 5-7 days before anticipated ovulation, and be sure to keep up with it through the day after ovulation.

      Lots of luck and baby dust :)

  37. QUESTION:
    Conceiving on Ovulation day and two most fertile days?
    Hello ladies my cycle is 32 days and my lmp was march 4. im suppose to ovulate on march 22. if i get a positive opk on friday what would my most 2 fertile days be? Also since i am inseminating with fresh sperm im looking to do that on sat march 20 and monday march 22 which is the day of ovulation. With me inseminating on the day of ovulation does that make my chances really high at possibly conceiving?

    • ANSWER:
      Most women will ovulate 24-48 hours after the peak of the LH surge (LH is is what is detected by an OPK). If you get a + OPK on Friday, that indicates that you would O on Sat or Sunday so your peak fertility will be Thurs - Mon. You could get two days of + OPK, so if you got another + OPK on Sat. you might O on Sun or Mon. making your peak fertility Fri - Tues.

      The egg is only viable for 12-24 hours so that is the fertilization window, however sperm live inside the woman for up to 5 days, so its a good idea to time things such that sperm is already there waiting for the egg to be released. Timing is everything. I think your plan of doing insemination on Sat and Monday is fine. Sat. Sun and Mon would probably be better, but it depends on when you get that + OPK.

      Good luck!

    Pregnancy lingo? Fertile Days, Ovulation Days?
    Explain to me what my fertile days are and my ovulation days are?

    Say I get off my period when do I know I'm what? I don't understand?

    • ANSWER:
      Fertile days are days you are likely to get pregnant if you have sex. Ovulation days are days when egg is released from your ovary, and hence your most fertile days (i.e., pregnancy is most likely to happen).

      You can use an online ovulation calculator such as http://www.ovulation-calculator.org/ to calculate your fertile days and ovulation days.

  39. QUESTION:
    Help with calculating my fertile and ovulation days!?
    The first day of my last AF was 31 March 2010. So, my fertile days would be: 10;11;12 April right??

    So I will be ovulating 13 April 2010 right??

    Had sex 14 April 2010...

    Can i still get pregnant if we just keep going even if my ovulation is gone? Is it gone yet? And when is the last day to stop TTC?

    • ANSWER:
      It all depends on ur cycle days.If u bd a day after ovulation,the probability is slim cos after the release of the egg, it stays for like 24hrs again.if there was no egg to fertilize it then it comes out as AF.Since u bd a day after and it will take the sperm to travel like 12-24 hrs to swim to where there egg.So the sperm might not meet the by the time it gets to where the egg is.
      So it always better to bd 2-3 days be4 or on ovulation day so that the sperm will have traveled down to wait for the egg.
      Wishing u the very best

    • ANSWER:
      There is no way of saying for sure. We have sex before I ovulate, during, and after. We've been trying for 11 months and haven't got pregnant.

Is pregnancy miracle book a scam? Absolutly not!

Pregnancy Miracle is the best solution to deal with the problems of infertility. If a woman aging from 20 to 50 wants to give birth to a child, and she does not know whether the problem lies in her man, this book is a must for her. It helps her realize the dream of being a mother.

Fertile Time

Most Fertile Time for a Woman Ovulation Signs - Difficulties in Getting Pregnant
If you have finally made up your mind and decided to have a baby, then you might want to have the baby as early as possible. If the question 'what time of the month is a woman most likely to get pregnant' is lurking in your mind right now, then the following information can be helpful for you. While answering the question 'when is a woman most likely to get pregnant', information regarding ovulation signs, tips for getting pregnant fast is also provided in this article.

Most Fertile Time for a Woman
When is a woman most likely to get pregnant? When is a woman most fertile? The simple answer is 'near ovulation'. During ovulation, ovaries release the egg which is available for fertilization for 24 hours only. If you have sex during these 24 hours, male sperms can reach the egg. Union of male sperm and the female egg is called fertilization. During implantation, this fertilized egg gets attached to the uterine wall. If your body holds up the embryo firmly, then you can get 'positive' results for the pregnancy test. Thus, the simple and short answer to the question 'when is a woman most likely to conceive' is 'near ovulation'.

Difficulties in Getting Pregnant
But there can be difficulties in getting pregnant because the female egg is viable only for 24 hours. Actually, the sperms are viable for 2-3 days. So, to increase the chances of getting pregnant, it is advised to have sex 2-3 days before, during and after ovulation. Normal length of the menstrual cycle is 28 days. It is a fact that menstruation starts 14 days after ovulation. So, ovulation normally takes place on the 14th day (in the middle of the cycle). If your cycle lasts for 30 days, then you may ovulate on day 16. Menstrual cycles lasting for 24-35 days are considered normal. Thus, the most likely time to get pregnant may vary from woman to woman, depending upon her menstrual cycle, age, overall health, etc. You can easily find out the time of ovulation for yourself and it can help determine the most fertile time to get pregnant. For other infertility problems or low sperm count, etc. you need to consult your doctor.
Ovulation Signs
If the question 'when I am ovulating' is swirling in your mind, then you should start measuring your body temperature before getting out of the bed everyday. During ovulation, your body will show a slight rise in temperature. You may use regular thermometer or specially designed thermometer to record basal body temperature. But you should use the same thermometer everyday. Some women experience pain in abdomen during ovulation. Some women notice ovulation discharge or spotting; while some notice increased sexual desire. The cervical mucus becomes thinner and sticky during ovulation. You may read more on ovulation symptoms. Ovulation predictor kits are also available in the market. If you are looking for some tips on getting pregnant fast, then you may refer to the article 'home remedies for getting pregnant'.

Only knowing about 'when is a woman most likely to get pregnant' is not enough if you want your 'bundle of joy' as soon as possible. Following a healthy diet, performing exercises regularly, leading a stress-free lifestyle and quitting drugs, alcohol, caffeine, smoking, is essential if you want to get pregnant soon. All these things would help maintain hormonal balance and also promote safe pregnancy. Avoiding lubricants which might impair the swimming capacity of the sperms is also equally essential. Getting rid of physical problems if you have any (like ovarian cyst, fibroids), is always good if you are thinking of starting your own family. So it is advised to consult your doctor if you are trying to conceive.

Fastest Ways To Get Pregnant

Healthy Diet and Lifestyle Tips that Will Help You In Conceiving Naturally - The Fastest Ways to Get Pregnant
Getting pregnant and starting a family is considered to be a step that makes the relationship between couples stronger. Though for most couples getting pregnant is quite easy, there are many who try to have a baby for a long time without any success. Though some face this problem because of the problem of infertility, there are many who fail to get pregnant because they overlook certain important things that aid conception. Hence, this article is for couples who have been trying to conceive for a long time. Here, you will find some natural ways to get pregnant. Read more on how do you get pregnant.

Best Ways to Get Pregnant

If you are planning to have a baby or have been trying to have one for a long time, it is important to get a complete physical examination done by a gynecologist. A physical examination will help you in diagnosing any disease or health problem like certain infections, endometriosis, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. which may hamper your chances of becoming pregnant. Once you have done that, here are some of the fastest ways to get pregnant. Read more on how to get pregnant fast.

Regular Sex
Now, everyone knows that this is the most important factor for a woman to get pregnant. Though you may think that this point is not very important here, it is actually so, because not having enough sex is one of the most common reasons for not getting pregnant. The busy routine and lifestyle of couples, leave very less time for them to spend time with each other and have sex. However, if one wants to have a baby, indulging in sexual intercourse, at least three times, every week is extremely crucial. Apart from this, even certain sexual positions will help in the process of conception. It is said that instead of getting up soon after having sex, a woman should lie on her back and keep a cushion under her buttocks to help the sperms swim inside the uterus. This is obviously the most natural and the easiest way to get pregnant. Read more on best way to get pregnant.

Keeping Track of Ovulation
Ovulation is said to be the most fertile time of a woman's menstrual cycle. It is the time when the reproductive system of the female, secretes an ovum or egg for fertilization. However, the problem here is that the egg remains in the uterus only for 12 - 24 hours, after which it begins to disintegrate. Hence, it becomes important to know the correct date of ovulation. Now, the problem here is that finding the exact date of ovulation can be difficult as it is not the same for every woman. Usually, women who follow the regular 28 day cycle, will ovulate on the 14th day counting from the first day of their periods. Nevertheless, women who have irregular periods may find it difficult to calculate their date of ovulation. However, there is no need to worry as there are several techniques through which one can calculate the date of ovulation.
One of the best ways to know the date of ovulation is to use the ovulation kit that is available in the market. Though it is a full proof method, buying an ovulation kit is quite expensive. Another way would be to record your basal temperature. The body's basal temperature deceases a little, a day before ovulation and is quite a reliable way to track one's date of ovulation. Examining one's cervical mucus can also help in determining ovulation. The vaginal secretions or the cervical mucus changes a little during the time of ovulation. It becomes thin, clear and stretchy, a few days before ovulation. Having sex regularly during the period of ovulation is one of the sure ways to get pregnant. Moreover, you do not need to have sex on the exact day of ovulation. This is because though the egg does not stay for more than 24 hours, the sperm can actually stay in the woman's body for 4 - 5 days and fertilize the egg during the day of ovulation.

Stop Smoking and Drinking
Smoking and drinking are two things that can lessen your chances of getting pregnant. Cigarettes are made of tobacco which are said to brings changes in the cervical mucus which can prevent the sperms from reaching the egg. Moreover, it has also been found that smoking can prevent the baby from receiving adequate oxygen as well as essential nutrients to stay healthy, which actually increases the chances of miscarriage. In the same way, even alcohol can give rise to fertility problems in women. Women who drink alcohol on a regular basis, are likely to experience irregular menstrual cycles, which may finally decrease the chances of getting pregnant too. Drinking alcohol can also cause health problems to the unborn baby. Know more about tips on how to get pregnant.

Healthy Diet and Lifestyle
Just like tracking one's date of ovulation and having regular sexual intercourse, it is also important to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to get pregnant. Eating unhealthy foods that are high in fats and low in nutrition can cause problems like excess weight, hormonal imbalance, etc. which may come in the way of pregnancy. Therefore, it is extremely crucial to follow a balanced diet which is rich in essential nutrients. Other than healthy diet, exercising and indulging in athletic training is also an important factor to keep the body healthy and fit, which is said to be one of the most important things to get pregnant.

Apart from these easy ways to get pregnant, having a stress free life is also important for conceiving. It has been observed that high levels of stress can cause problems during ovulation which may hamper conception. So, if you are stressed or tensed because you are not able to conceive, it is important for you to find ways to relieve your stress as it can decrease your chances of getting pregnant. So, relax and follow the tips given above and soon you will be holding your bundle of joy in your arms.

    I really want a baby so badly , is there any type of tricks or vitamins i can take to make me more likely to get pregnant??

    • ANSWER:
      Simple tricks: MISSIONARY every other day. This helps the sperm get closer to the goal. Also try putting a pillow under your bottom for better angling as well. Every other day helps men build up their sperm. If you have been trying for 9 months or more I would see a doctor.
      How long have you been off BC? It can take awhile after taking BC to get pregnant.

      On a side note, be sure to be taking prenatal vitamins for 3 months before you get pregnant. :)

  3. QUESTION:
    what are some ways you can get pregnant fast?
    and please don't say have sex!!
    im not retarted!!
    and i just want to no the fastest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      I really don't thinking there is a "faster" way of doing this. It's really all about timing, being healthy, and not stressing so much about it. Your best chance is to really figure out when you ovulate and have sex during this time. Try charting your temp or use an ovulation predictor kit to help you!

  4. QUESTION:
    Can you help me what are the easy an most fastest ways to get pregnant? I had twins 4years hard to conceive :( ?
    I'm finding it hard to get pregnant again :(

    • ANSWER:

  5. QUESTION:
    I want to get pregnant. What are the fastest ways to get there.?
    I'm 17 and about the graduate high school early (in January). I'm not going to college because I already have a great job offer. I really want a baby. I know there are people who think I shouldn't, but I don't want answers from those people. My question is how to get pregnant the fastest and also what to expect once I'm pregnant? Also, what should I tell people once I'm pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey there. Congrats on the job offer! Nothing like having a career in the bag. As for the pregnancy issue I'm assuming that you want to sidestep the ethical issues and go right to the heart of the matter.

      First and foremost, know your body. Every woman has a cycle, when she ovulates, when she menstruates, and for how long. There is something called a luteal cycle, which is how long your body releases hormones that make it possible for you to conceive, as in fertilization has already occured and now implantation must take place and stick. Knowing all this will help you keep track of when you are fertile. There are a lot of sites out there that will help you keep track, but I preferred this one.
      http://www.mymonthlycycles.com/
      Go to an ObGyn, or a midwife, get a pap and make sure that you are physically healthy and ready to have kids.

      As for sex, as long as the sperm gets in you, there isn't a proven position for conception. You might want to lay down for awhile and give the sperm a chance to swim upstream, but other than that you just have to wait and see. Avoid using any lubricants as they will hinder the sperm, acting as a barrier.

      Coffee, when consumed by the guy, will make his sperm swim faster. For yourself, go on a daily vitamin regime. Nothing serious, say 2 Flintstones a day with added iron. I took these throughout all 3 of my pregnancies instead of prenatals. Taking the vitamins just keeps you healthy should you conceive.

      Once you get pregnant, you can expect anything from slight nausea to major vomiting. This usually last for the first trimester and there is no way to know how you will react. Some women don't have any symptoms and others have them all. Your breasts will be tender and you will more than likely be very tired and need more sleep. Hormones are high which means that you will be more emotional.

      Once you hit the 2nd trimester things usually even out and you have a couple really nice months where you can bask in the glow of showing. Then the 3rd trimester hits and the back aches start. The baby really starts taking up space which means more pressure on your lungs and bladder, which, you guessed it, means it's harder to breath and you have to go to the bathroom a lot more than usual. Deep sleep becomes a thing of the past as there is no more sleeping on your stomach, so you are shifting from one position to another trying to get comfortable. Then comes the big day, and yeah, you aren't preggy anymore, but that's a whole different answer.

      As for what to tell people, I don't know what to tell you. You know what the majority of people are feeling, so don't be surprised when you don't get the support you want. I would suggest limiting the news to those who are close to you and will give you the emotional support you want and need. Let the others find out as you begin to show.

      Lastly, I know that you aren't looking for it, but I do want to say that having a baby is a wonderful and glorious thing, when you are ready. The desire for a baby is a very strong thing indeed, and it can shape the whole direction your life takes. Having a baby won't end your life, but it will change it, and what seems great right now might not be so much later on. I hope that you make the decision that is right, and best, for both you and your potential child.

      Best wishes

  6. QUESTION:
    what is one of the most fastest ways to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:

      i dont think theres a silver bullet answer to guarantee getting pregnant. but if you have unprotected sex every day during your most fertile period of time, thats your best bet.

      -R

  7. QUESTION:
    what the best time to get pregnant after a miscarriege n do tell what the fastest way to get pregnant?
    I had a miscarriege it been almost 4 month and I'm planning to get pregnant again I lost my 1st baby at 22 weeks pregnant it took me months to get pregnant so also tell me how can I get pregnant fast

    Thx

    • ANSWER:
      I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It's actually easier to get pregnant post-miscarriage. I'd just have as much sex as you can LOL. Figure out the days you're ovulating (usually around day 14 of your cycle) and make sure to have sex during that time frame. Good luck

  8. QUESTION:
    The fastest way to get pregnant?
    Is there really a way to get pregnant faster? Cause both my husband and I want to have a baby and it just doesn't seem to be happening for us. Is there positions we could try?

    • ANSWER:
      Take it from someone who had tried for 13 1/2 years to get pregnant. There is no "fast" way to "get pregnant". We tried all sort of positions, days ( even days, odd days, every other day), vitamins, faith ( even had a Fertility Budd ah doll and a Fertility necklace-hey after 13 1/2 years, was willing try whatever it took!).
      If your body isn't ready it isn't ready. However, if you have not gotten pregnant in the first year of trying...you need to speak with your doctor. Key of advice, be strong with them and tell them what you expect and want ( not just saying, I want a baby). If the doctor isn't working with you, find someone who WILL!
      After 13 1/2 years, Clomid worked for me my second month of being on it. It doesn't work for everyone.
      Good Luck to you both...and don't believe the myth " be free of stress" as it only ADDS stress to it.
      Don't forget to have fun...trying for years can take alot fa'zas out of the relationship. It isn't a chore and nor should it become one. Good luck!!

  9. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to get pregnant?
    I have just started trying to get pregnant with my hubby and I have yet to see any results. I have baby fever and really want a baby. What is the fastest way to make my dream come true?

    • ANSWER:
      Buy an ovulation kit from your supermarker or pharmacy. Try and abstain from sex until you are ovulating. It works like a pregnancy test and will tell you if you are ovulating or not.

      If you can't do that, or cant tell when you are ovulating then having sex every three days should ensure that there is always a time when the egg and the sperm will be together at some point in your body!!!

      If you don't get pregant within six months you might want to see your doctor, but it can take a while...good luck : )

  10. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to getting pregnant, how do i know my fertility status?
    we want to try for a child but i have never gotten pregnant bbefore so i dont know whether i can get pregnant at all, besides my periods are so very iregular and 28 yrs old now, my boy friend is 34yrs we both have good jobs, i dont know the kind of vitamin supliments to take, to boost my fetility and start having normal periods, is it possible for me to conceive ?

    • ANSWER:
      It's difficult to say exactly how long it will take any one individual or couple to get pregnant. Factors such as your age, general and reproductive health, and when you have intercourse all impact your chances of conceiving a child

      However, these general statistics may give you an idea of how long it will take. Normally fertile couples have a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant each cycle, and a cumulative pregnancy rate of 75 to 85 percent over the course of one year. Still, some healthy couples can take even longer to get pregnant

      And you can try to increase your likelihood of getting pregnant sooner by learning to pinpoint exactly when you ovulate, and by familiarizing yourself with the cyclic hormonal and physical changes that take place in your body each month.

      I have included some links for you so you can do some reading and research on your body. OVULATION IS THE KEY TO GETTING PREGNANT! Remember that. These are the steps you need to take...
      1.) Make an appt. with an OBGYN. He or She needs to give you a complete exam and make sure you are having regular periods, that your tubes are unblocked, and that you donot have anything else that may cause you to not get Pregnant ie...sexually transmitted diseases, PCOS, ect...
      2.) You need to make sure that you are ovulating. Belive it or not, some women, do not ovulate. And as I said, Ovulation is the KEY to getting pregnant. To do this, you should buy a Basal Themometor (you can buy at almost any store where they sell regular themometors.) and start taking your temps EVERY MORNING BEFORE you get out of bed. to read more about this, check out this website for what they have to say about it.. http://www.mamasark.com/BBT.htm
      3.) you also need to learn to check your Cervix Position AND your Cervial Mucus everyday. To learn more about this check out these websites... http://www.webwomb.com/check_cervical_position.htm
      and
      http://www.webwomb.com/cervical_mucus_page.htm
      4.) Once you have got this all down you need a place to chart them all so that you can keep track of what your body is doing and when you ovulate. www.fertilityfriend.com is the best place to do this. It is a free site and it allows you to chart your temperature, your cervial mucus and position and helps detrmine when you ovulate.

      *********OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY AND HAVE ALOT OF SEX AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! LOL But you asked for the quickest way to get pregnant, and these are the steps you need to take in order to do it.*****

      ~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~PLEASE REMEMBER!!!! Even a 100% healthy couple only has a 40% chance of conciving each month, so dont get discouraged if it doesnt happen right away, even if you do all the things above. Just have fun with it, and do not make sex a chore or a job, just relax and enjoy eachother, and when the time is right, you will get Pregnant!
      Good luck to you and TONS OF BABY DUST YOUR WAY!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

    Fastest ways to get pregnant please read?
    Ive been on the pill for about 2 years. On and off, I dont take it regularly, like every other month, & I usually miss some pills... SO I havent taken it for about 3 months, AT ALL. My periods are,

    July 6th
    August 8th
    September 5th
    & October 5th.

    Well I thought that I was pregnant the beginning of this month because my period started BROWN. I was thinking it was implantation bleeding. Me and baby dad were pretty excited until it turned into DARK RED blood. My period usually always starts red and its heavy, this time it was brown and then turned red and is still not heavy. BUT this is the question.. ok. So Monday night I took 2 birth control pills (at the same time) and 2 excedrins (at the same time). I took the Birth control pills because I thought that it would stop my period from coming because baby dad was coming over the next day. I took the exedrins because I get really bad cramps. So my question is..

    #1. Did taking those 2 birth control pills affect my chances of conceiving? Did it change my ovulation date?

      So how do you ensure that you have good quality Cervical Fluid ? Well, since you're looking for ways to get pregnant, here are some tips on improving your cervical fluid. There are several.

      Drink water, lot's of it. At least 8 glasses a day can do wonders in improving your cervical fluid.

      Eat baby carrots lot's of them too. Because of the Vitamin A in the baby carrots (beta carotene), it has been known to really improve the amount and quality of your cervical fluid.

      Take plain Robitussin. The kind with nothing extra in it, no extra letters on the box, such as DM. Just plain Robitussin. The same way that it loosens up your Mucus when you have a cough, it also thins the mucus in other parts of your body.

    Fastest way top get pregnant?
    I'm 24 yrs old and i want to get pregnant. My man and i have been trying for the pass year and still nothing. Any tips on how to get pregnant faster?

    • ANSWER:
      There are several baby-type websites up and running. Do a search for 'preconception' or 'ovulation calculator'. It will ask the question of "What was the first day of your last period?" Enter the date into the spot provided. Then it asks for days in your cycle. If you are average this will probably be 28 days. When you enter the information the site will calculate the days you will ovulate (if you are average). It's usually a three day window. Make sure you and your partner are very, very active on those three days for sure, though extra days are good too (and fun). If your fertility is normal and you have no medical issues then you should get pregnant within the first couple of months. It's how I had my first two children and how I "picked" the month they would be born.

  26. QUESTION:
    Whats the fastest way to get pregnant and vice versa acide from birth control?

    Thank you for that second comment that’s mainly what it is, as for my third I conveniently left out the fact that me and my boyfriend have been together for three but having unprotected sex for about a year and a half now, I wanted to see the responses I’d get before that info. I had one child currently, a son, 2 years old from a previous relationship and it is so much fun. I’m kind of eager for a little girl. ;)

    • ANSWER:
      Huh?

      The fastest way is to time intercourse to ovulation. But that's at best a 20% chance per month. You just have to wait for the right egg and sperm to meet.

  27. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way of getting pregnant?
    Ok. me and my man are trying to conceive a baby right now. We have sex all the time and on days of my ovulation. we have been trying for the last 5 months to have a baby. what is fastest way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      As all have said the fastest way is to have sex. The window of ovulation is only open for about 18 hours and it occurs approximately 14 days after the start of your period. So from the time of 10 days after the start of your period to 18 days after your period, have sex every 12 hours, more frequent if you can.

  28. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to get pregnant after stopping birth control?

    BESIDES THE OBVIOUS HAVING SEX.

    • ANSWER:
      The fastest way is with In Vitro Fertilization.
      The second fastest way is Intrauterine Insemination along with fertility drugs.

      The best way is to patiently try on your own first by having regular sex every 1-2 days, followed by getting medical help if nothing has happened after a year.

  29. QUESTION:
    What,s the fastest way to get pregnant?
    My husband and i have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. What can we do to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      When i was TTC i was'nt even a year trying and i knew there has to be a problem. People on here were telling me to wait and 8 months was'nt a long time. I went to my DR who referred me to a fertility specialist (privately), the appointment took 3 months to come so i was 11 months trying then. Im so glad i didnt listen to people. The app privately cost me €300, we got my husbands sperm tested, i had an internal on my ovaries, he ruled out PCOS and is now putting me on clomid as he thinks from being on the pill for years my reproductive system needs a kick start to get ovulating properly. Im also going for a HSG in approx 2 weeks to rule out blocked tubes. For a few hundred Euro im getting a lot of answers and i would urge people to get checked out sooner rather than wait over a year because for some women who might be pushing on a bit, well every month that passes by makes a difference. I said 100% get an appointment for a specialist and start ruling things out. It might be something so small and simple that you need and if you had it sooner it would save years of heart ache and routine baby sex and you can get on with your life.

  30. QUESTION:
    What's the fastest way to get pregnant?
    I know i'm supposed to be having sex, which I've been doing regularly for the past two years but nothing's happening. I've tried paying more attention to my ovulation period, etc etc. nothing. Help!!

    I know my guy is ok, cuz we have a kid, its just this second one we are having difficulties with.

    • ANSWER:
      Go to your gynocologist and he/she will test your hormone levels and recommend your guy have his sperm tested as well. Two years is too long to go without getting pregnant. If there is anything wrong (which there probably is) your doctor will give you fertility meds and vitamins for both you and your husband/boyfriend.
      Also, make sure you are taking care of your self because healthy women get pregnant much easier. So if your weight is high then reduce it, and if you smoke or do drugs then stop.

  31. QUESTION:
    What is the best and fastest way to get pregnant???? Serious ppl only?
    I am wanting a baby soon.. I dont want to go through all the bs with doctors

    • ANSWER:
      1. You should definitely be off birth control pills for at least 6 months.
      2. Get a check up with your gynecologist- make sure you are "ready to conceive", meaning, you do not have any underlying hormone imbalance at this time. Ask her what vitamins you should start taking BEFORE you conceive, I cant remember the name, but she will tell you. She can also give you the name of the over the counter basal thermometer to buy- this will pinpoint exactly when you are ovulating and therefore have the best chance of conceiving.
      3. You want to be healthy as a horse before you conceive- and since you are smart enough to "plan" this greatest experience in life, discuss with your doctor any of your concerns you may have about your health.
      4. You didn't mention the father- but if you have a special someone who is going to be the father, it is not a bad idea to make sure he is in good health also.

      BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR LUCKY LITTLE BABY---YOU WILL MAKE A GREAT MOM!!!!!

  32. QUESTION:
    please help me find the fastest way to get pregnant?
    what can I do to get pregnant fast i'm having problems and I rather wait to talk to my doctor....how long did it take you? and do you know if I can take any medications that are not perscriptions? Please help me tell me what you did....

    • ANSWER:
      Invest in Ovulation predictor Kits..start using the 7 day kits on say day 8 or 9 of your cycle.. have sex every other day.. you might want to have hi sperm tested though.. even if your issues are corrected.. he may still be a problem. There are 3 things they look for in a sperm analysis.. morphology..how are they shaped or deformed..mobility..can they swim good and count...

      My sister in law has used and had great success with this over the counter product which is available for men and women.. FertilityBlend. I recommend it all the time. It includes folate which you should be taking so if you take a prenatal vitamin already and you use this product you do not need the prenatal until you become pregnant.

      To improve my chances..I'd have sex all month long every other day and lie still with your knees elevated for at least 10 minutes.

      Good Luck and baby dust.

  37. QUESTION:
    How the fastest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, strangely, the best way to conceive a child is not to be too concerned about it.
      There's a strange thing seems to happen which is that the more it is a big deal for you the harder it is to get pregnant.
      The important thing is to enjoy your sex life and your relationship and just don't use any form of contraception. Then it will happen when it will happen.
      To a certain extent frequency can have an impact, the more times you have sex the more chances you have of conceiving.
      However, remember how your monthly cycle works. About 14 days before a period you produce an egg cell.
      The two or three days before this happens and the week after it happens are the days you are most likely to conceive.
      It is possible to conceive at other times but much less so (some people even use calendar prediction for contraception, only having sex well before the egg cell is produced and well afterwards).
      Enjoy life, relax, and especially enjoy sex around the middle of your cycle.

Fertility And Menstrual Cycle

PCOS and Infertility You Can Change The Effects Of PCOS
It is an unfortunate truth that PCOS and infertility are often part and parcel of the same problem. PCOS is one of the major and most common causes of infertility in the world today. One side effect of PCOS can be that you will have far heavier than normal bleeding, but that you will also have far less periods than normal, meaning that you will have far less chance of having a child as well.

The reason for PCOS and infertility going so closely together is that the PCOS is typically a side effect of insulin resistance and that the ovaries are not producing the hormones that they need. The menstrual cycles are not normal meaning that cycles of fertility are also out of the norm, making pregnancy far more difficult to achieve.

You Can Change The Effects Of PCOS

The good news is that sometimes you can change the effects that PCOS and infertility have on your body and your future. Most PCOS people don't have regular periods but there is hope to restore them. The insulin resistance that is at the root of your problems with your fertility and menstrual cycle imperfections can often be changed simply by losing weight and eating a different diet that is geared toward helping you with your PCOS.

According to doctors, for those women who are moderately obese, the loss of just five percent of the weight they carried before they began treatment restored regular menstrual cycles in about 85 percent of the women and more than 25 percent got pregnant with no further treatment at all.

Diet And Exercise Play A Vital Role To Better Health

This really underscores the importance of diet and exercise in PCOS and infertility. Weight management and good dietary habits and exercise are one of the most important aspects of managing your PCOS. The base cause of PCOS is of course the resistance to insulin. The fact is that PCOS can often be managed very effectively without surgical intervention or even other types of treatment if you're willing to work with diet, exercise and other things that may benefit you.

Lowering the use of sugar, losing a moderate amount of weight, and adding more proteins and more fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet will help immensely. Doing away with things like corn sugar or high fructose corn syrup products, as well as cutting out a lot of processed foods from your diet has the means to help you a lot.

You Can Learn Natural Treatment Methods To Cure PCOS

About ten percent of the world has PCOS. Some will not find a method of treatment and will suffer other problems such as high cholesterol, infertility, hypertension, and even develop thyroid problems. Many will develop adult onset diabetes from their insulin resistance.

Learning to manage your PCOS, diet, exercise and lifestyle changes can help to make you healthier, but it will also help to change the future for you. PCOS and infertility do go along with each other, but PCOS does not mean that you can't or won't get pregnant. It just means that you will have to work a little harder to make that wonderful part of your life happen.

While exercising is highly encouraged, heavy weight lifting and intense cardio are to be avoided for preferable results in the pregnancy department.

Another serious effect on conception that we seldom consider is stress and it's effect on our bodies. Stress avoidance can often be the fastest way to get pregnant naturally. Stress has a huge effect on our bodies that we often notice through a change in bowel movements, eating habits, and sleep patterns.

Stress is no less of a factor on conceiving and going through a successful problem-free pregnancy.

Faster Ways To Get Pregnant

Working Ways on How to Become Pregnant Fast and Naturally
Most people think that the way to get pregnant is by having a lot of sex, but this is not necessarily the case. The truth and indeed the secret any one intending to get pregnant should know is that there are only a limited number of days in a month that a woman is fertile, and this is the only time they can conceive. Health experts estimate that one has only about a 25% chance of conceiving each month.

So how can one get pregnant fast and naturally? Well, it is all about timing, and all women should try and know their bodies well so that they know when they are exactly ovulating. This may change from month to month, and the best way to do so is by using a basal body thermometer. Monitor it for some time, and the shift in temperatures indicates that you've ovulated, and as such you can predict accurately when you might ovulate next. That is a sure way of how to get pregnant naturally.

The other way is by ensuring the sperm is ready for the egg before ovulation. Sperms can live for up to 5 days inside a woman, while the egg lasts for only 12 - 24 hours. Therefore, one should have sex several days before ovulation and during the day of ovulation too. There are ovulation kits to help you know when you will ovulate, and they can predict an ovulation 36 hours earlier. Once the kit turns positive, you should have intercourse, even for the coming days until the kit indicates that you have already ovulated.

In essence, anyone wondering how to get pregnant fast should be aware of when they ovulate, and then time intercourse appropriately. These two are natural and easy ways of conceiving fast.

Believe me, getting pregnant is not that hard if you know how the things work. So if you want to become pregnant fast and naturally, I would strongly suggest you to read Pregnancy Miracle Guide which can help you get pregnant in less than 90 days and be a Mom of a Sweet Baby.

Expected Due Date

How To Calculate Your Pregnancy Due Date
Finding out that you're pregnant is a very happy time. There are so many things to do like buying a crib, diapers, stroller, and much, much more!

Nine months seems like an eternity when you first find out you're pregnant, but it really is not. There are so many milestones that happen and so much to do it will go by in a flash.

So you're pregnant, what is a due date and when is it?

Your due date is the date that is given to you of when you can expect to go into labor. The dates are not usually very accurate. More often women go into labor with 2 weeks of the expected due date.

The most accurate way to determine a due date is when the woman knows the day of conception. This rarely happens so normally due dates are determined by using the 1st day of the woman's last period. Normally the total gestation time is added to the 1st day of the last period minus 2 weeks.

Example:

The total gestation time is 40 weeks (9 months). If the woman's last period was on October 1st, 2005, you would add for weeks to that date and the date you would have then would be July 1st, 2006. You take away 2 weeks from this date and you have June 15th, 2006. So your due date would be June 15th.
This method is called the LMP Method (last menstrual period).

Two weeks are taken away from the 40 weeks because it is said that women can ovulate within 2 weeks of their last period.

Another interesting way to calculate your due date is called Naegle's Rule. As with LMP, Naegle's Rule also uses the first day of your last period.

Calculate the 1st day of your last period.
Count back 3 months from that day
Add 7 days

This is another easy way to calculate your due date.

Ultrasounds can also give an expecting mother her due date. Ultrasound technicians use the ultrasounds to determine the baby's age by looking at different body parts and organs.

There are also many online websites for expectant mothers that offer pregnancy due date calculators. These calculators often use the LMP method by asking you to put in the first day of your last period and calculating your due date from there. The calculators not only give the mothers a due date to anticipate, but can also be used to mark the different milestones of pregnancy.

For example:

the time when a baby develops organs
2nd trimester
3rd trimester
and your due date

In ancient times women used the different phases of the moon. When a woman suspected that she could be pregnant she would look at the moon and what phase it was in. Over time she would count how many times the moon was in that phase. At the 10th time the moon entered into that phase and the 10th period she missed, the woman would know she was due soon.

Dr. Naegle (with Naegle's Rule) determined that the ancient way was also an accurate way to determine a due date since a woman's cycle seems to follow by the moon's cycle.

Although the ancient way is no longer used it normally came pretty close. Whether you want to calculate the moon's phases or use LMP to calculate it, there are many, many ways to find out a round about date as to when your new baby will be born!

Fastest Way To Conceive

How To Get Pregnant - Trying to Get Pregnant with No Success? Learn How to Get Pregnant Fast
You want to be holding a baby as soon as you can - 9 months from now would be great! So how do you get pregnant fast?

Knowing exactly when you're ovulating can help you time intercourse perfectly for conception. The best way to get pregnant fast is to know when you're ovulating and to make the most sperm-friendly environment possible.

Charting your cycles is a great way to figure out when you're ovulating - but if you're trying to get pregnant really quickly you may not want to learn the in's and out's of charting. That's ok, because in-home tests can help you determine ovulation even without charting.

Now, if you're having problems getting pregnant you may want to chart - charting can help you identify fertility problems and correct them naturally so you can conceive.

You can determine ovulation at home using an ovulation predictor kit - or using a fertility monitor.

Ovulation predictor kits, or OPKs are test strips that detect luteinizing hormone in your urine. You dip the test strip and compare the line that appears to the control line. If it's as dark as the control or darker, you're having your luteinizing hormone surge. What does that mean to you? You're probably going to ovulate in the next 12 - 48 hours. It's time to start trying to make a baby!
If no new line appears or is lighter than the control that's a negative result and it's not time to start trying yet.

Fertility monitors tend to give even more precise results and can be as accurate as fertility clinic blood tests in identifying your ovulation. Different monitors work in different ways. The three most popular monitors on the market right now each work differently.

One monitor works by detecting the changing hormones in your sweat, and another in similar ways but with your saliva. The final monitor, the ClearBlue Easy fertility monitor, detects both luteinizing hormone and estradiol (the major estrogen in your cycle) in your urine. It's very, very accurate - just about as accurate as the feritlity clinic. All three types of monitors track changes across your cycle.

By using an OPK or fertility monitor you can quickly pinpoint exactly when you're ovulating without much of a "learning curve." This will help you time intercourse for optimal conception.

Another thing to try after you've pinpointed ovulation is adding a sperm-friendly lubricant into your baby dancing fun. This can compliment your natural fertile mucus or, if you don't have much, give sperm a real boost on their way to their goal.

Using these ideas in conjunction with proper nutrition and preparation for conception is the best approach - that way you'll not only conceive easily - you'll also be able to carry your healthy baby to term.

      Usually if its been a year and couples still haven't conceived, they'll go visit a fertility doctor to make sure his sperm count is ok (high enough) and that there's nothing wrong w/your uterus or eggs.

    My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant without any luck. Any tips like home remedies to increase fertility or unique ways to get pregnant fast would really help! Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      We also had trouble conceiving our first child awhile back. We went through the whole "fertility routine" and tried pretty much every medical option that we could afford. The fertility drug Clomid was really touted as the best and we invested a lot of money and hope into that but it just didn't work out in our case. My wife just suffered one side effect after another.

      We had almost given up on kids but we just happened to stumble across a website that really helped: http://www.miraclesofpregnancy.org

      It offered a pregnancy & fertility guide called "Pregnancy Miracle." We were skeptical at first but decided it was worth a shot. I mean, the author of the book guaranteed our money back if we didn't get pregnant within 60 days following her program, we had nothing to lose.

      We were so pleased with the book, and just can't thank the author enough. My wife got her positive pregnancy test result after only 47 days on the Pregnancy Miracle program. It just lays out everything in such an easy-to-understand way. I highly recommend it if you are serious about starting a family. Good luck!

  11. QUESTION:

    I am wanting t to know the fastest way to get pregnant besides having sex? so be nice about it and tell me what you think thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Have unprotected sex everyday starting 2-3 days before you are going to ovulate, until 2-3 days after ovulation.

  12. QUESTION:
    I need some fast ways to get pregnant, I've been trying w/ my fiance, no sucess?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm in the same boat!!! I've started taking Pre-conception tablets, which have folic acid and iodine in them. They are really good for baby development. Also get your partner to take Zinc tablets or drink caffine before sex, it excites the sperm. Having sex four times a day will not make a difference, once a day is fine, cause what guy can really blow 4 times a day. Me and partner have sex everyday or every two days, it helps build the sperm back up. Also try drink Green Tea everyday, eat dried nuts and lots of green veges. Get your partner to wear boxers not briefs and you and your partner must stop, smoking and drinking. Don't ever let him blow in you when your on top, always let him be on top when he's ready to finish, then lay with your legs in the air. Most of all chart your temp or get ovulation kits, I tried one yesterday, they really are a great help, and Also just relax, don't think about is this going to the time during sex. Sometimes sex can get mundane if your trying for a baby, try something different... We watch porn while were having sex, it turns both people on. Try outfits for your partner to. sex is great and should be fun!!! Good Luck!!! Hope this helps.

  13. QUESTION:
    TTC Any advice on ways to get pregnant fast?
    Me and my husband have been ttc for about 6 months now and havent gotten anywhere. We lost our first baby 8 months ago i was 8 weeks pregnant. The doctor said something just didnt develop right and that it wasnt anything i could have done. But yeah, any advice on things you guys may have done to help speed up the process? We really want to start a family, can stressing too much prevent pregnancy???

    • ANSWER:
      Take an ovulation test. That should tell you when you're most likely to be most fertile. If you have a 28 day cycle, try on the 14th. A couple days before or after wouldn't hurt either.

      Stop trying. When you try for things you never get them. It's like the "Things come when you least expect them." advice.

  14. QUESTION:
    tell me best ways to get pregnant fast?
    I wanna have a baby fast. We have been married for 10 years, I and my husband are both 33 years old.

    • ANSWER:
      Getting pregnant sounds really easy, but it is very complicated in fact.
      You'd better turn to doctors for help or read some books to get more techniques or tips.

      http://www.pregnancytutor.com/pregnant.html
      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

  15. QUESTION:
    What are some ways to get pregnant fast? just curious?
    I want to know some methods to get pregnant easier and fast or when is a good time during ovulation to get pregnant. just curious

    • ANSWER:
      no it is not what the firs girl said about 14 days cause some women like me have long cycles i hav 34 days not the 28 days the whole 14 day theory is based on a perfect 28 day cycle that actually vou.lated 14 days before their period but there are so many other women that ovulate 20 days before thier cycle and some at 10 so a certain day does not matter what so ever. what you need to look at is any time you have cervical mucus that is watery or like egg whites that strech alot between your fingers you need to ahve sex that is usually when you are fertile. if it is all dry sticky or creamy then you are most lieky not fertile. usually with in 24 hours of the time that you last notice fertile cervical mucus is when you ovulated. and the best chances are 2 days before and the day of ovulation. some say 4-5 days before tust that is is the sperm are all healthy and strong and can survive that long. and some say the day after that is only if he has super quick swimmers it usually takes anbout 24 hours or so for them to swim where they need to go so that would p[ut them getting there 2 days after and the egg is only good for 24 hours at most

  16. QUESTION:
    anyone have any ideas of ways to get pregnant fast?
    i am 22 years old and got married last year i we have been trying for about a year to get pregnant. does anyone have any ideas about a way to get pregnant fast without goin thru the whole fertitly clinic thing

    • ANSWER:
      am not trying to be rude but, if we have any ideas to get pregnant fast; none of us would be here!

  17. QUESTION:
    besides knowing and having great timing with Ovulation what are some ways to get pregnant fast.?
    Im ready to have a baby. Im just ready now.

    • ANSWER:
      - Buy OPK tests to track ovulation
      - Chart your Temp using a BBT thermometer
      - Keep track of your CM (egg white discharge is a sign of ovulation)
      - Have Sex as much as possible (make it fun)
      - Don’t get too stressed out (stress affects your ability to conceive)
      - Start living a healthy life (if you haven’t already)

      When you have sex try to do it missionary position (to give gravity a little help) and try to stay on your back for about 15 min (it takes sperm about 10 min to get to your uterus after ejaculation).

      But most of all don't forget that sometimes it may take a couple months before you become pregnant...if you don’t get pregnant right away don’t get stressed or sad…Just keep trying:) Good Luck

  18. QUESTION:

And stress might be the case too...Since he is deploying and all. I dont feel stressed. Anyone have answers?

    • ANSWER:
      How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

      1. Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

    Can anyone one tell be some easy faster ways of getting pregnant?

      oh the every other day is b/k if u have sex every day ur hubby does not produce as much as he would every other day plus sperm can stay alive for five days

  20. QUESTION:
    unique ways to get pregnant fast?
    My fiance and I have been trying to get pregnant for the past 5 months. No luck.
    we are both twenty..and he already has little girl.

    What are some unique ways to get pregnant fast? We're really feeling let down lately
    obviously we've been having sex when I say "we've been trying to get pregnant"

    • ANSWER:
      Well unfortunately there is no way to get pregnant "fast". It's definitely something that happens in it's own time at it's own pace. It took us 6months to conceive our daughter, 10months to conceive again which ended in miscarriage at 7 weeks, and another 7months after the miscarriage to conceive again (I'm currently 15weeks5days).

      Don't be surprised if it takes a little longer.....you only have about a 20-25% chance on ANY given month that conception will occur and that's when you do EVERYTHING right. I know when you hear about all these accidental pregnancies you would think it's easy, but getting pregnant is anything but easy!!

      Tips:
      DO NOT use personal lube or saliva for lubrication during ovulation. Both are known to harm sperm, although they will not kill them all off, when TTC you need all the healthy swimmers you can get!

      Eat healthy and exercise -- all three times I conceived I had just started to watch what I was eating and exercising to lose weight.

      Drink LOTS of water -- this will help you produce good quality CM. When your body is dehydrated, your mucus is one of the first things to diminish.

      BOTH of you take your vitamins -- for you, a regular prenatal holds all the proper amounts of stuff you need. For him, a daily mulitivitamin like Centrum has the right stuff. Zinc has been shown to improve sperm motility, but too much zinc is toxic, so whatever is in the multivitamin is more than enough.

      QUIT TRYING!!! The very month I gave up on it all (I was charting BBT, checking CM, using pre-seed, tried robitussin, used OPK's etc...), is the very month I got pregnant. I approached it as "I just don't care anymore whether I get pregnant or not" and voila, got my BFP!

      Good luck!

  21. QUESTION:
    What is the fast way to get pregnant?
    My boyfriend and i have been together for 11 months now. We both want children , the only problem is...we've tried EVERYTHING!!! With no success...what should I do?

  22. QUESTION:
    ways to get pregnant fast naturally?
    My partner is in the military and we've been trying to get pregnant for 6 months now with no luck and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to get pregnant faster

    • ANSWER:
      I would highly suggest purchasing the ClearBlue Easy Digital Ovulation Kit which can be bought at Target for instead of which is at most retail shops. This Digital kit has 7 tests which you pee on every morning (preferrably in the afternoon time) and if you're about to ovulate 12-36 hours, it will show you a digital smiley face. If you're not about to ovulate, then it will just show you a circle. The test detects LH Surge which is a hormone that is at it's top peak when you're about to ovulate (release the egg). Once you see that smiley face, you should have sex within 12-36 hours. Sperm can stay in your body anywhere from 3-5 days. Obviously this depends on both partners' health also. The reason I would suggest this digital test rather than other tests in the market is because the other aren't digital. You have to kind of guess yourself by looking at pink lines...if you're okay with that, then you can purchase the First Response Ovulation Kit. It's cheaper and has more tests but it's not digital.

      Check out the Clearblue Easy Digital OPK:

      http://www.clearblueeasy.com/digitalovul...

      Also, I've read that before you have sex, it's good for the male to drink coffee about 15 min because the sperm are more "jumpy" and can get to the egg faster...especially the y-sperm (boy sperm).

      Good Luck and baby dust to you!

    Let me clarify something I am a 25 year old college graduate with my own home and a great paying job. Me and my boyfriend have been together for more than 6 years. So any comments about get my life together first are not applicable

    • ANSWER:
      Your best bet is to get a fertility work up done. That will pinpoint any problems you may have to begin with. Some doctors won't do one until after you have been trying for a while, but if you have an OB/Gyn you normally go to, call and set up an apt or talk to the nurse about getting a checkup. While there, talk to them about a fertility work up. Usually, they are more then happy to check you both out.

      Your other option is just to go off birth control and start trying. If you have been on the pill for a while, or other forms of hormone birth control, it can take a few months to get it out of your system and to get your body back to it's normal cycle. Sometimes this isn't the case, so don't count on that.

      Starting charting your cycle. This will tell you how long your cycle is and when you are fertile. A usually cycle runs between 28-32 days. If you are on a 28 day cycle, around days 15-17 are usually your fertile days. The way you count is to chart it for a month, starting on the first day of your last period. Count until the first day of your next period. That's your cycle. Now count to day 15 of your cycle. This is when ovulation usually starts. This day, and the next few days, are your best bet at getting pregnant. There are ovulation kits you can buy too, that take the guess work out of it, so maybe looking into one of those would work for you.

      You can also chart using your basal temperature. This is done with a basal thermometer. You can get those at any drug store, but it will say basil on it, so make sure you get that kind! Ask the pharmasist is you can't find it. They will be able to point you in the right direction. Take your temp every morning BEFORE you get out of bed. You will notice your temp going up as you hit ovulation. When your temp goes up, it's time to start trying!!

      Remember though, sperm is more "effective" if you give it time to build up, so every few days is better then every day. Once you start to see a pattern in your cycle, you can pretty much gauge when the best times are.

      Just remember to relax, enjoy this time. Don't get too stressed out. Stress makes getting pregnant harder. Especially if you are worried about the getting pregnant part. So relax, enjoy and just remember that it may take a while. If after a year, you haven't gotten pregnant yet, then it's time to start a detailed workup. Don't worry about that now, just keep it in mind for the future.

  26. QUESTION:
    best and fastest ways to get pregnant?
    Im young 19 years old and healthy . No matter how hard me and my hubby try i just cant seem to get pregnant!. We have sex all the time and several times on my fertile days. I have a normal 28 day cycle so i should ovulate around the 14th day.

    I really want a baby so badly , is there any type of tricks or vitamins i can take to make me more likely to get pregnant??

    • ANSWER:
      Simple tricks: MISSIONARY every other day. This helps the sperm get closer to the goal. Also try putting a pillow under your bottom for better angling as well. Every other day helps men build up their sperm. If you have been trying for 9 months or more I would see a doctor.
      How long have you been off BC? It can take awhile after taking BC to get pregnant.

      On a side note, be sure to be taking prenatal vitamins for 3 months before you get pregnant. :)

      If you are having trouble becoming pregnant or you keep having miss carriages then you should check out http://x.co/cvKh . They have a book you can get on becoming pregnant within 1-2 months and how to keep it healthy. I and my Wife went through years of struggling to bear a child with no success and doctors told her she should adopt. She refused and wanted to leave something in this world that came from her. After we started following the book I swear to god after about a month and a half she tested positive and now a year later I’m here celebrating my sons first birthday and can’t be more proud of it. I’m glad to hold my son in my arms every day and wouldn’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for him. Anyways I hope you succeed in your pregnancy and wish you the very best.

    Easy ways to get my wife pregnant FAST ?
    My wife and I are trying to conceive, I need some advice on how to get her pregnant FAST before I go to college in two months.
    =[
    Please and thank you ?

    • ANSWER:
      Well of course have sex, but don't make it like a stressful habit. Have fun with it, I heard it best to have it in the morning because of the sperm count. But 2 times a day or once when ever should be fine.

      Also stop smoking and drinking (if you are a smoker or drink beer etc) that also counts for your wife. With that try to eat healthy and don't wear tight jeans or pants as it can decrease the sperm count.

      For your wife, she can start to take folic acid. It does increase pregnancy in some ways and she will need to take it anyways when pregnant. Also to eat healthy etc.

      If you really want to also you can buy a ovulation test.

      But as said basically have sex as much as you can without making it a stressy habit as stress can decrease chances of pregnancy.

  37. QUESTION:
    I want to get pregnant. What are the fastest ways to get there.?
    I'm 17 and about the graduate high school early (in January). I'm not going to college because I already have a great job offer. I really want a baby. I know there are people who think I shouldn't, but I don't want answers from those people. My question is how to get pregnant the fastest and also what to expect once I'm pregnant? Also, what should I tell people once I'm pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey there. Congrats on the job offer! Nothing like having a career in the bag. As for the pregnancy issue I'm assuming that you want to sidestep the ethical issues and go right to the heart of the matter.

      First and foremost, know your body. Every woman has a cycle, when she ovulates, when she menstruates, and for how long. There is something called a luteal cycle, which is how long your body releases hormones that make it possible for you to conceive, as in fertilization has already occured and now implantation must take place and stick. Knowing all this will help you keep track of when you are fertile. There are a lot of sites out there that will help you keep track, but I preferred this one.
      http://www.mymonthlycycles.com/
      Go to an ObGyn, or a midwife, get a pap and make sure that you are physically healthy and ready to have kids.

      As for sex, as long as the sperm gets in you, there isn't a proven position for conception. You might want to lay down for awhile and give the sperm a chance to swim upstream, but other than that you just have to wait and see. Avoid using any lubricants as they will hinder the sperm, acting as a barrier.

      Coffee, when consumed by the guy, will make his sperm swim faster. For yourself, go on a daily vitamin regime. Nothing serious, say 2 Flintstones a day with added iron. I took these throughout all 3 of my pregnancies instead of prenatals. Taking the vitamins just keeps you healthy should you conceive.

      Once you get pregnant, you can expect anything from slight nausea to major vomiting. This usually last for the first trimester and there is no way to know how you will react. Some women don't have any symptoms and others have them all. Your breasts will be tender and you will more than likely be very tired and need more sleep. Hormones are high which means that you will be more emotional.

      Once you hit the 2nd trimester things usually even out and you have a couple really nice months where you can bask in the glow of showing. Then the 3rd trimester hits and the back aches start. The baby really starts taking up space which means more pressure on your lungs and bladder, which, you guessed it, means it's harder to breath and you have to go to the bathroom a lot more than usual. Deep sleep becomes a thing of the past as there is no more sleeping on your stomach, so you are shifting from one position to another trying to get comfortable. Then comes the big day, and yeah, you aren't preggy anymore, but that's a whole different answer.

      As for what to tell people, I don't know what to tell you. You know what the majority of people are feeling, so don't be surprised when you don't get the support you want. I would suggest limiting the news to those who are close to you and will give you the emotional support you want and need. Let the others find out as you begin to show.

      Lastly, I know that you aren't looking for it, but I do want to say that having a baby is a wonderful and glorious thing, when you are ready. The desire for a baby is a very strong thing indeed, and it can shape the whole direction your life takes. Having a baby won't end your life, but it will change it, and what seems great right now might not be so much later on. I hope that you make the decision that is right, and best, for both you and your potential child.

      Best wishes

What is the easiest and fastest way to get pregnant, without the guy trying or knowing? I've thought this over and I want to do it like this. Please only serious answers, please don't judge.

    P.s. they all want to use condoms, so factor that in there please.

    • ANSWER:
      Please, do not try to have a baby without the man knowing. That's not right for the man, or the child. PLEASE.

      And wanting a child by these means is NOT "ready". You need to mature a great deal first. Many people have children too soon, and unplanned. Thankfully you haven't had to deal with that. But having a child alone is something that too many people struggle with already. And not telling a man that he has a child is WRONG. Also, intentionally bringing a child into this world KNOWING that the father won't be involved is immoral.

      Again...PLEASE don't do this.

Familyplanning

Writing an essay on birth control, population growth and family planning
In our case, theme appears to be birth control. Our mission is to make the audience to take our viewpoint on the topic issue. The basic target is to convince reader to adjust points of view that most of them do not want to adjust. What exactly you are planning to sell your justification to your readership with? Pick and choose a topic that certainly will attract attention of the readership. Bad thesis statement could ruin the statement. Consider the fact that the topic statement is supposed to focus on definite problem and There can be such topic sentences which could be challenging, nevertheless supposing you are ready to support it to an acceptable degree using datails as well as statistics you can actually take one of those.

Think of a tough topic sentence with regard to birth (population) control. Make sure you arrange the essay in the style that beyond shadow of a doubt will persuade the person who reads. You can pick arrangement arrangement for the persuasive essay on birth control from one of the some possible designs. First suggests that you review pros for single point in a separate paragraph, then bring in workable cons to the points which you confute subsequently. Another approach of arranging the persuasive paper relating to birth control is to provide opposing facts, each one in a different paragraph, firstly after that to refute them sooner than making verdict.

Regardless which way of introducing your claims you select, you should not disremember to brainstorm a finale at the last part of your paper in which you show your position concerning the birth control topic. When discrediting competing thoughts to your population growth (or birth control, or family planning) topic focus, declare the con. This would help you, the author, to make your confutation pointed. Permit the reader to apprehend what exactly you're planning to beat by corroborating the opposing claim. While assembling the contradiction, try to be as unambiguous as possible. You will find three forms of refutation:
evidence of divergency (when you as the author signify that confronting claim appears to be unrelated to the birth control topic statement) total denial (here you are required to present efficient counter-arguments plus back up the points using facts so as to crash the competing claim) concession (while you, the author, conform to your contra argument in general but also demonstrate that the argument is absolutely not good adequately)
Depending on the manner of delivering you selected for the population control paper, the verdict must either sum all pros as well as mention refutations to opposing points, or review disproofs to all cons to the birth control question. You will find situations dealing with ways your wrapping up ought to be ordered, it depends upon the method of delivering you chose for the birth control paper. One variant sees that your conclusion is intended to recapitulate all supporting suggestions and deliver confutations to cons.

Consistent with the other format, it is supposed to explain refutations to every one of opposing thoughts to the birth control subject. Once you have done it, you're at this instant capable of formulating a absolute verdict concerning birth control.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are benefit of familyplanning to the society?

    • ANSWER:
      the state will not be burdened too much in giving them benefits like health, education, etc. the "pie" does not get divided to too many people thereby allowing them to enjoy more.

  2. QUESTION:
    Is any side effect is there after FamilyPlanning[labroscopy]?

    • ANSWER:
      to know your ans better i am giving you the advantages and risks involved in labroscopy.hope it helps.read on.you will get your ans certainly

      Advantages
      There are a number of advantages to the patient with laparoscopic surgery versus an open procedure. These include:

      reduced haemorrhaging , which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion.
      smaller incision, which reduces pain and shortens recovery time.
      less pain, leading to less pain medication needed.
      Although procedure times are usually slightly longer, hospital stay is less, and often with a same day discharge which leads to a faster return to everyday living.
      reduced exposure of internal organs to possible external contaminants thereby reduced risk of acquiring infections.
      can be used in Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) surgery to put the eggs back into the fallopian tubes

      Risks
      Some of the risks are briefly described below:

      The most significant risks are from trocar injuries to either blood vessels or small or large bowel. The risk of such injuries is increased in patients who are obese or have a history of prior abdominal surgery. The initial trocar is typically inserted blindly. While these injuries are rare, significant complications can occur. Vascular injuries can result in hemorrhage that may be life threatening. Injuries to the bowel can cause a delayed peritonitis. It is very important that these injuries be recognized as early as possible.[2]
      Some patients have sustained electrical burns unseen by surgeons who are working with electrodes that leak current into surrounding tissue. The resulting injuries can result in perforated organs and can also lead to peritonitis.
      There may be an increased risk of hypothermia and peritoneal trauma due to increased exposure to cold, dry gases during insufflation. The use of heated and humidified CO2 may reduce this risk.[3]
      Many patients with existing pulmonary disorders may not tolerate pneumoperitoneum (gas in the abdominal cavity), resulting in a need for conversion to open surgery after the initial attempt at laparoscopic approach.
      Not all of the CO2 introduced into the abdominal cavity is removed through the incisions during surgery. Gas tends to rise, and when a pocket of CO2 rises in the abdomen, it pushes against the diaphragm (the muscle that separates the abdominal from the thoracic cavities and facilitates breathing), and can exert pressure on the phrenic nerve. This produces a sensation of pain that may extend to the patient's shoulders. For an appendectomy, the right shoulder can be particularly painful. In some cases this can also cause considerable pain when breathing. In all cases, however, the pain is transient, as the body tissues will absorb the CO2 and eliminate it through respiration. [4]
      Coagulation disorders and dense adhesions (scar tissue) from previous abdominal surgery may pose added risk for laparoscopic surgery and are considered relative contra-indications for this approach.
      Patients can often have trouble walking after surgery for a few days

  3. QUESTION:
    What are significance of familyplanning?

    • ANSWER:
      To procreate only those children that you can afford, and when you can afford them, financially as well as emotionally.

    If there was a natural way to avoid pregnancy would you use it?
    I teach natural family planning, the billings method, I am surprized that more people dont use this method of birth regulation. Its 98--99.5% effective, with no side effects, because its natural. You can learn more about this at www.familyplanning.net and I have a yahoo group, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NFP_BillingsMethod/

  6. QUESTION:
    Poll: How many know...?
    How many people know what and how to access nation wide reproductive health care under Title X (title 10) of the Public Health Service Act? Also how many people know about local state programs, such as California's Teal Card or the Pink Card in Illinois, that provide reproductive health care to women and/or child to be?

    Answer honestly please.

    For those who do not know, Title X provides Family planning and reproductive health care for men and women under the Public Health Service Act of 1970. It is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. It covers everything (charges on a sliding scale based upon income) with the exception of abortion. This includes pregnancy test, birth control, STD tests (men too), birth control research, training of staff for local community clinics etc.

    FamilyPlanning.com I'm just wondering if anyone has used it and whether or not it was accurate.

  8. QUESTION:
    Do you think the world is over-popuated?
    If you think so, what should we do about it? I dont belive the answer is chemical or surgical birth control methods. I teach Natural Family Planning. This method is all natural and can be taught to the poorest in the world, so easy that illiterate and blind can learn to use it too. Best thing about it is, its FREE! Please research your answers before posting. You can also get more info on overpopulation and NFP at www.familyplanning.net

    • ANSWER:
      I think the world is only overpopulated in certain geographic areas. For example, there are huge amounts of land all over the world that are underutilized. However in many African and Asian countries the people have totally drained their natural resources. This leads to starvation, sickness, and a lack of employment. It is really hard to tell people they must limit the number of children they have. This is government interference and can have several negative consequences. Families often depend on having several children to find work that can support the family. This is a vicious cycle though because there is not enough work to go around.

  9. QUESTION:
    Ramadhan: Okay, I'm really confused on the Islamic stance on abortion?
    Okay, so I've been researching this online and going to a lot of links and stuff provided by answers to previously asked questions on this issue. One such link:

    http://www.islamawareness.net/FamilyPlanning/Abortion/abortion3.html

    What I'm confused about is that all four madhabs have some sort of belief it (abortion) is permissible early on. However, ON THE SAME LINK, it says it is not permissible unless for so-and-so reason.

    I mean, God, this is so frustrating. Someone please come out and say it! Is abortion permissible or not, ASSUMING the mother's life isn't in danger, she wasn't raped, it wasn't incest, etc.?

    I'm leaning towards not acceptable because a lady went to Rasulullah (SA) after committing adultery and was pregnant, but she didn't abort the baby. Many people say the hadith about the ruh being blown into a fetus is misinterpreted. But, whatever: What's your answer?

    • ANSWER:
      Okey here's the thing. Souls enter the body when the fetus aka the child reach approximately 4 months old give or take a few weeks. When the body is equip with a soul you can not abort. The reason is simple it is alive. There are exceptions of course as you say if they were rape, incest mother is in danger,etc. Now here is the next crucial point, what about the body that has not been inserted the soul? The answer is: they are empty shells. It's logical right? To be human is to have a combination of the mind, body and the soul aka the heart. If you don't have a soul hence there is no mind and what's left is only a body. I can't say they really human since they don't have the mind and the soul.

  10. QUESTION:
    How long after giving birth can I get on birth control?
    I had a c-section on june 16...and i want to get the IUD but i don't know how soon can i get it inserted. Don't get me wrong ... i'm not doing it cuz i'm in a hurry to have any sexual activity yet but because i want to be careful and i don't want any slip ups when i finally do. If i can't get the IUD do you think the dr. will let me get the depovera shot?

    I'm scheduled to go to the dr. next week but i wanted to know before hand. Also do you know what's the minimum (age) requirement to get the ensure procedure done? I'm 23 and have 2 kids and both me and my hubby don't want to have any more kids.

    I've researched on plannedparenthood and familyplanning.com but it doesn't really answer my questions. 10pts for best answer

    • ANSWER:
      You can usually get the IUD put in within a few days of when you're allowed to start having sex again (around 6 weeks). If for scheduling reasons you can't have it put in right away, just use condoms.

  11. QUESTION:
    Using a Condom & pulling out, How affective? Should i worry?
    So I recently lost my Virginity, to my boyfriend. Im not positive if i was ovulating or not (ive read you can ovulate at any time of the month) but it was about a week before i was due to get my period. He used a Condom, and the pull out method. I know everyone says it does nothing for you, but while using a Condom, its just extra pro-caution. The condom clearly did not break as far as both of us can see. Yes i examined it, lol. I was wondering if there is a big chance or any chance at all that i could of gotten pregnant. I'm due for my period soon, its just paranoia. Im being put on Birth control before i have intercourse next. Please be respectful.

    Once other question i have is, how do you know if the condom broke or not? would it be obvious and clear to the eye? or could it just be a tiny break. Would he feel it? Etc.

    Please do not inform me that the "pull out" method does not work & or makes it worse.
    Familyplanning.org says differently.
    I know the pull out method does not work alone, 30 out of 100 women per year get pregnant from just withdrawing.
    But while using a condom & withdrawing its extra pro-caution.

    • ANSWER:
      both methods worked sepratly for me, there is no chance your pregnant
      also to the answer below the pull out method works if its done right to 98% like most contriceptions, and there is no reason why there wouldnt be a small tear
      but you would be able to tell

Family Natural Planning

Best Time Of The Month To Get Pregnant
Using Basal Body Temperature (BBT) to Find out the Best Time of the Month to Get Pregnant

A rise in the temperature of your body can be utilised as a symptom of the best time to get pregnant. Following ovulation, your basal body temperature can increase by 0.5 to 1.6 degrees. You won't notice such a small difference in your temperature, but you can observe the difference by using a special glass fertility thermometer or a digital thermometer. Be careful that you always take your basal temperature from the same site e.g. the mouth to ensure consistency in your results. Your change in temperature is caused by increased manufacture of the progesterone hormone (brought on by ovulation). The best time to get pregnant is in the two or three days before your temperature reaches its high point. Somes experts indicate that you may have an additional 12 to 24 hour window of fertility after you first notice the temperature increase, but most say that by the time you register a temperature increase you have already passedpassed your fertile period. Charting your basal temperature for a few months can aid you in pinpoint the time that you ovulate. This allows you to plan having sex 2 to 3 days immediately leading up to ovulation to improve your opportunity for conceiving.

More physical signs and symptoms that let you know the most appropriate time of the month to conceive.

There are many other visible changes that take place leading up to and during ovulation that provide further evidence that you can learn to recognise in your fertility cycle.

* Lower abdominal pain can be a sign of ovulation. About one-fifth of women actually feel ovulatory activity, which can range from mild aches to twinges of pain in the lower tummy. The condition, called Mittelschmerz, may last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. If you experience Mittelschmerz, your body has just ovulated and the next 12 hours are the best time to get pregnant.
* You may discern that you have an escalated sex drive around the time of ovulation.
* Professor Erik Odeblad from Sweden, in his research into signs of fertility, noticed that some women encounter the enlargement of a small lymph node in their groin during ovulation. Although not all women can find this lymph node, you can test for it by feeling in your groin during the days that your fertile mucus appears: the lymph node will feel like a pea-sized swelling on one side.

Keeping a detailed fertility calendar using a combination of these methods is a great way of knowing when the best time to get pregnant is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How is natural family planning not a form of contraception?
    How is natural family planning any different then a condom or a birth control pill? Your still preventing a potential baby and your not really giving your complete self away, if you know you probably won't get pregnant. When I watched "Theology of the Body", there main argument was that you should give your complete self during sex as an expression of God's love, and that contraception prevents giving your whole self. How is natural family planning any different?

    • ANSWER:
      It's just a nicer way of packaging the same idea. Don't spend too much time worrying about it; sex is a biological function, nothing more. Let your freak flag fly.

  2. QUESTION:
    How does natural family planning work?
    I just need more info, so yeah. I'm thinking about doing the natural family planning but if it dont work so good, maybe I will go with the patch, I just dont want the pill, or the shot, or something in my vagina, so yeah. I want something easy for me because I know I will want another baby in a couple years if not sooner. Any information on any kinds of birth control will be helpful though, Thanx!

    • ANSWER:
      If your cycle is very regular and you can predict ovulation (14 days before your period) then abstaining from sex for 3 days before and 4 days after is what you do. It not 100% reliable so you could still become pregnant. If you cycle is irregular then forget it.
      Apart from that consider Implamon, its easy quickly reversible and convenient

  3. QUESTION:
    How does natural family planning really work?
    How does natural family planning work as opposed to bc pills/patch? And is it actually effective?

    • ANSWER:
      First off, the comment about Catholics having big families shows a lack of understanding about what NFP is -- it's NOT 'the rhythm method.' It's a careful understanding of a woman's fertility signs, and avoiding intercourse when pregnancy is possible.

      Statistics suggest that NFP, used carefully and correctly, is around 90-95% effective, and if the couple avoids intercourse during the pre-ovulatory phase, it may be better than 99% effective. This isn't quite as good as the pill or patch, but is generally good enough for most married couples. (And is far MORE effective than a diaphragm or sponge or vaginal spermicide.)

      It DOES however, take some dedication and education to use it correctly, so many couples find that it's just too difficult to use over long periods of time. (So they opt to 'take a chance' ... and end up pregnant.)

  4. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried natural family planning for pregnancy prevention?
    What do you think of it? I've been on birth control for a long time and considering getting off of it. I just don't want all those hormones going into my body. Both my husband and I don't like condoms, so that's out of the question. I did just a little bit of research about natural family planning. If anyone is doing it, which one are you doing and is it easy to follow?

    • ANSWER:
      NFP is using a woman's natural signs of fertility to determine if she is in a fertile or infertile part of her cycle. A woman's fertile window is 5-6 days long. This is because sperm, under good circumstances, can live for up to 5 days. A woman's egg can only survive for about 12-24 hours. And once she has ovulated, she will not ovulate again in a cycle (with the rare exception of double ovulation - like for fraternal twins - and ovulation always takes place within 24 hours; all NFP rules take this into consideration).

      So, how does a woman know if she is fertile? The menstrual cycle is dominated by 2 hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Before ovulation, when estrogen starts to kick in, the body starts to produce a special kind of cervical mucus that sort of resembles egg-whites. Her cervix also changes in its position, openness, and firmness. After ovulation, the body triggers a production of progesterone. This hormone makes the cervical mucus dry up, causes the cervix to lower and close, and causes a woman's temperature to rise.

      A woman using NFP watches the changes in her mucus, cervix and temperature and from that knowledge knows which part of the cycle she is in. If she is fertile (close to ovulation) and doesn't want to get pregnant, then she will refrain from having sex. If it is before ovulation she can use special rules to know which days are safe for sex. After ovulation there is no chance of another ovulation so she can have sex at any time.

      Learning NFP can be confusing at first, but it gets easier after the first 2-3 months. Once you learn the rules, it actually doesn't require much thought at all! A minute a day to record your information and then you're done. After I learned the method well, I didn't chart after I confirmed ovulation either, so I really only charted the first half of my cycle and then took the second half off every month.

      My husband & I have used NFP for 10 years now. We initially learned the Billings Method but because I had irregular cycles, it was difficult, so we switched to the sympto-thermal method as taught by the Couple to Couple league. It was such a big influence in our life & marriage that we went on to become NFP teachers. I love being able to talk to others about NFP. It is such a misunderstood form of family planning. It is more effective than any barrier methods and is about equal to the pill - WHEN USED CORRECTLY. That "when used correctly" part is what can give NFP a bad name. But it's true for any kind of family planning. If you don't take your pill every day or use a condom every time, then you reduce effectiveness. Well, if you have sex when you know you can be fertile, you don't make your use of NFP very effective.

      Most people who have unexpected pregnancies while using NFP get pregnant because they have sex too late in the early part of their cycle.

      The most effective way to use NFP is after taking a class. If you don't know of any classes in your area, go to www.omsoul.com and go to their teacher-finder section. Some organizations also do home study (Couple to Couple League) or online classes - (Northwest Family Services).

      Our own personal experience is that we used NFP to postpone for the first 2 years of our marriage, though some very challenging situations. We then used NFP to help diagnose a medical disorder that would go on to give me infertility issues. Thanks to NFP I was able to conceive twice during cycles where, if I hadn't been using NFP, I never would have known to keep trying because I ovulated so late in my cycle.

      If it makes you feel any better, one of the first couples we ever taught used NFP successfully for over 5 years before they decided to be open to pregnancy.

  5. QUESTION:
    How useful is the natural family planning?
    I'm married for the past 3 weeks.... and till now i and my husband has not had sex. The problem is he's a catholic...... and as per religion , we should not use a condom during the act.... he wants us to follow the natural family planning. Whta do i do ? Does this natural family planning really work ?
    How do i convience him ?

    • ANSWER:
      Did you all not discuss this prior to marriage? Simply not consummating the marital act is not an option for Catholic married couples as sex is part of the sacrament of marriage. It is actually what "seals the deal" for Catholics. Not having sex is one reason why a marriage can be annulled by the church. And God, as the author of life and marriage, wants married couples to fully enjoy a good sex life together!

      So, since you both walked into marriage without apparently having a plan for how to postpone pregnancy without artificial contraception, it's time to get started! NFP absolutely works, with a 99% effectiveness level for those who use it correctly. It is easy to use, but if you want to learn it correctly, I strongly advise you to find a certified teacher who can teach you AND your husband. It is so important that you both understand how to use the method so that you can avoid these prolonged periods of abstinence for no reason.

      NFP works because a women is only fertile for a few days a month. By observing the natural signs her body gives her, she can tell when that fertile window opens. NFP users will then stop having intercourse and wait for her body to show that ovulation has passed. A woman can only ovulate once a month and her body gives her plenty of warning that ovulation is approaching and confirms when ovulation has passed. The time after ovulation is infertile and couples can have sex without concern about getting pregnant.

      There are lots of ways to learn NFP. You can read the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. That will at least give you the tools to get started on your own. You can also download a manual from nfpandmore.org. But I would suggest taking a class. Look at http://onemoresoul.com/nfp-directory and see if there are any teachers in your area. You can also take a home study course from the Couple to Couple League (www.ccli.org). I would suggest that you both read a book on Catholic sexuality, like Christopher West's "Good News about Sex & Marriage" or Gregory Popcack's "Holy Sex" to understand why sex is a good and healthy part of a Catholic marriage and how NFP works into that. You have stuck by your new husband thus far, and I think a little bit of understanding for both of you will really help.

      I will pray for both of you! Good luck.

  6. QUESTION:
    We are going to start using natural family planning we currently live together and are going to abstain?
    We have decided that we are going to follow the creighton method of natural family planning. We currently have sex and use the implanon to prevent pregnancy. We are going to abstain from sex until our wedding night which is 9.10.2010. has anyone else done this?

    • ANSWER:
      I think that's awesome! My husband & I were not perfect before marriage, but during our engagement we pulled it together and did things right, and it made our wedding night and honeymoon really special. We also used NFP from the very start of our marriage and have never turned back (almost ready to celebrate our 11th anniversary). We used a sympto-thermal method at the beginning, but I recently learned Creighton and I think it's a fantastic and in-depth method. I think you'll be very happy with it.

      The thing about NFP, and especially about abstaining, is that it helps you and your fiance focus on being able to communicate your love to each other in ways other than through sex. So many couples get caught up on sex, and sex is really important and a beautiful way to express love, passion, and unity. But if that's the *only* way you know how to express love, or if you struggle with being able to be loving in non-sexual ways, it will cripple your marriage. There is more to being able to express love, even physical love, than just through sex. I think that's part of the lesson NFP taught me. NFP also made me appreciate sex. When you can't have it at every minute of every day, then you don't take it for granted.

      Good luck to you!

  7. QUESTION:
    Signs of ovulation and natural family planning?
    I'm a little new to natural family planning. What are some signs of ovulation? I have a hard time pinpointing the number of days in my cycle- where do you count from (first day of last period?) and is it possible to ovulate 1 week before an expected period? That may be a stupid question haha but I've heard different opinions on that. If it helps my last cycle started November 15 and lasted 4 days. I believe I should start another cycle around the 13th this month.

    • ANSWER:
      Start counting cycle day 1 as the first day of real flow of your period. The last day of your cycle will then be the day before your next period starts, and you start all over with day 1 again. It's possible to ovulate 1 week before your period, but it would mean you have a seriously short luteal phase and would have problems getting pregnant and /or sustaining a pregnancy.

      Ovulation signs: look for an increase of clear, slippery, stretchy cervica mucous (egg-white cervical mucous, ewcm). It'll often come out on the tissue when you wipe, or if you're not squeamish, you can check it by inserting a finger or 2 into your vagina and getting some fluid on your fingers. When you see this cm, ovulation will be approaching soon and you should be having regular sex (once a day or once every other day). Another sign is cervical position. Your cervix will be soft, high, open, and wet (SHOW) near ovulation. It gets tricky trying to figure out what position it's in, and you'll have to check it regularly throughout your cycle to notice any differences. One of the biggest predictors of ovulation for me is that I get extremely frisky and really want to have sex when I'm ovulating. It's really the only time of the month I really must have sex or I'll just burst. You'll get the hang of listening to your body after a few cycles. You could always try charting your basal body temp too. That'll tell you after you've ovulated, because your temp will increase after ovulation and stay high until your period starts. Good luck and have fun!!

  8. QUESTION:
    Does Natural Family Planning Work As Well As They Say It Does?
    **Please respond only if you have used Natural Family Planning

    For all of you who have used Natural Family Planning, can you please shed some insight as to whether or not it's as effective as the websites say it is?

    In your experience, what are the pros and cons of using this method of family planning?

    Also, please do not say things like "just use a condom" or "put her on the pill" because that's not an option for us...

    Thanks for the insights!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Kevin,

      I have 11 years of experience using NFP and for 8 of those I have been a certified NFP teacher and counselor. I would be happy to answer your question as honestly as I can.

      The science behind NFP cannot be disputed. 99% has been proven time and time again, from studies out of L.A., done by the World Health Organization, on and on. One of the most famous studies was done in India on illiterate and very poor women who were taught NFP by Mother Teresa's order - still 99%.

      So why does NFP get such a crappy rap, not only in pop culture, but by the medical profession?

      As far as popular opinion, in the minds of many NFP = rhythm method. We cannot seem to shake that idea no matter how many years of science are behind the method. The only experience most have with NFP (especially here on Yahoo answers) is the kind their grandmother used, you know - the kind that helped them get 8 children.

      There are also people who claim they are using NFP when in fact they are only using the calendar/rhythm method or who are practicing some watered down version of NFP they have adapted themselves. Then they whine about how NFP didn't work for them when they have an unplanned pregnancy.

      One of the first couples we ever taught used NFP to postpone pregnancy for 5 years. In their same class there was a couple who got pregnant after the first month. Now, we taught the same material to both couples, but one couple followed our instructions, did the homework, and practiced the method. The other couple did not do the homework, did not follow our instructions, and did not follow the rules or the methodology of the method. Now, to their doctor or to an NFP statistician, the method was only 50% effective for the two couples in that class. But was the second couple actually using the method? I say no.

      There are a number of things that a couple can do to use NFP at the 99% effectiveness level.
      1. Take a class from a certified teacher.
      2. Learn the method well, meaning do the homework, read, ask questions, and follow-up with the teacher in case of any confusion.
      3. Don't be complacent about charting, especially as you first learn the method.
      4. Don't ignore the rules. Don't assume that just because your wife always ovulates on day 17 that this month will be the same.

      If you have a good reason to postpone pregnancy, then you will be more motivated to follow the rules and you will have good success. Once you learn the science behind the method, you understand why the method is so effective. At that point, it's up to you to make NFP effective for you. If you have sex when you know you are in the fertile time, or you shave a day here or there because you are in the mood, then NFP will not be 99% effective.

      I hope that has helped. I am very passionate about NFP education. I cannot say strongly enough how important it is to take a class & learn the method well. Good luck!

  9. QUESTION:
    Any sage advice on natural family planning?
    While I have heard all the criticisms about the natural family planning...

    I'm currently on the pill. My husband and I are thinking about trying for kids next year, allowing him to finish school. My current prescription runs up in February. We are considering not renewing it, but instead just trying to avoid fertile days--please note that even right now we figure if there's an "oops" pregnancy we feel we're in a position to handle it.

    Any tips?
    Asking about family planning, not an analysis on my unpresented awareness of the nature of life with children.

    • ANSWER:

  10. QUESTION:
    Would you be interested in learning natural family planning/fertility awareness?
    I'm considering becoming a natural family planning teacher. I would teach a method called Billings, which is quite simple and helps either avoid pregnancy or become pregnant. I would like to teach it not only in a church setting but also to the general public (like in a community college). I just wonder if women would be interested. Thanks.
    I would like to add that I use this method instead of birth control and it works great (I think the success rate is 99%).

    • ANSWER:
      Definitely! I would be up for learning anything to help me from getting pregnant that doesn't involve hormonal birth control, there are soooo many side effects. Then when I want to get pregnant again, it would be nice to learn some ways to help that along too! Sounds great!

  11. QUESTION:
    Is there something wrong with Natural Family Planning?
    Every time I mention the words "Natural Family Planning" on this site, I get a bunch of thumbs-down. I don't preach about it, but if someone posts a question saying they can't or don't want to take hormonal birth control, I will mention that it exists as an option, and I ALWAYS get a bunch of thumbs-down for it. Is there something wrong with Natural Family Planning? Do people have a problem with it for some reason?

    • ANSWER:
      It's because they don't understand it. They think it's a new name for the old "rhythm method" and that it only works if you have a regular cycle.

      Basically, they don't think of it as "real" birth control, because nobody's marketing it to them. If there's no white coats, Rx pads and shiny packaging involved, how could it ever work?

  12. QUESTION:
    Ovulation test and Natural Family Planning?
    I'm over the whole hormone birth control thing, I want to look into natural family planning and my research tells me that first I should try to familiarize myself with my cycle, how regular it is, etc...

    I plan to run the whole basal temp gambit, probably the mucus aspect as well before making a decision and I'm wondering if in addition to all this, it would be worth it to use some ovulation test... any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      When I started doing NFP, I purchased an ovulation scope like this one: http://www.amazon.com/MaybeMOM-Ovulation-Tester-Mini-Microscope/dp/B000E7VDKU

      You can save a lot of money with a product like this, since you don't have to purchase refills or more ovulation predictor kits. You might be able to shop around and find a cheaper one, too. It uses your saliva to check for salt, which occurs in your saliva when you're ovulating, due to higher estrogen levels. If you decide to get one, make sure that you follow the directions closely.

      One thing that's very important - make sure that you use a backup contraceptive method, like condoms, until you get the hang of your cycles. It can take a few months of temping and checking your cervical mucous to really get to know your cycle.

      You can also check out http://www.fertilityfriend.com to help you chart. They deal mostly with trying to conceive, but you can still use the chart to keep track of your temps and ovulation signs to find out when you ovulate. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is also a great book to read if you're interested in naturally achieving or avoiding pregnancy.

  13. QUESTION:
    If my bf and I used condoms, birth control & natural family planning, would we be safe?
    My bf and I are thinking of having sex. We want to be really safe. If we used a condom, birth control, the natural family planning remedy (time when i dont produce eggs) AND if he pulls out before sperm comes, how safe would that be? :P i know it seems like a lot but we want to be REALLY safe :)

    • ANSWER:
      Well, taking all of those precautions will probably make you pretty safe. I can't think of anything else you'd need to do. But just a piece of advice, I would not choose Yaz as the birth control to use. Apparently, it causes heart attacks, strokes, and sudden death. Also, condoms may tear so make sure to stay vigilant throughout intercourse. And as for pulling out, there really isn't that much of a point because with your other protection, the sperm will not make it to your ovaries and if it does, you are not ovulating at that time anyway. Hope this helped.

  14. QUESTION:
    Has anyone prevented pregnancy for years using Natural Family Planning?
    Hello, As a Catholic, I am looking into Natural Family Planning for someday when I'm married. However, I'm not sure that I trust it to prevent pregnancy since I have read conflicting reports on this method of birth control. Has anyone actually had success with postponing pregnancy for at least 3 years using this method? Has anyone had this method fail even though you were doing everything right?

    Any answers with personal experience with this method will be most appreciated. Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      I have been using NFP on and off for 10+ years and my husband & I have taught NFP for over 7 years. It is a shame that people don't know more about NFP because it is very effective. But people have such a knee-jerk reaction to NFP for a number of reasons. The first is that they equate modern NFP to the old rhythm method - "Oh my grandma had 12 kids so it doesn't work." Modern NFP is so different from the rhythm method, yet that perception still exists.

      Then they see NFP families and yes, NFP couples tend to have more children. However, is that because NFP doesn't work? Not usually. In most cases, NFP families are more open to children than those who chronically use contraception. So yes, they have 5 kids, but if you talk to them about their 5 kids, you find out that they know exactly when each child was conceived and how they knew they were in their fertile period and knew they could get pregnant.

      Our own personal experience is that we used NFP to postpone for the first 2 years of our marriage, though some very challenging situations. We then used NFP to help diagnose a medical disorder that would go on to give me infertility issues. Thanks to NFP I was able to conceive twice during cycles where, if I hadn't been using NFP, I never would have known to keep trying because I ovulated so late in my cycle.

      If it makes you feel any better, one of the first couples we ever taught used NFP successfully for over 5 years before they decided to try for their first child. A college friend and his wife have been using it for their whole marriage, 3+ years now. Our other local teaching couple used it to plan their 6 kids and to postpone for 3 years since their last child was born. I could go on and on.

      Most couples who have a "surprise" pregnancy with NFP do so because they try to have sex too late in the early part of their cycle. With NFP, as soon as you see any type cervical mucus you are automatically in the fertile part of your cycle. But some of those "surprise" pregnancies were because a couple took a chance after seeing that they were entering the fertile part of the cycle. So they weren't really surprises... I don't see many people who do everything right and get pregnant. I have seen a few non-planned pregnancy charts and in each case the couple broke a rule somehow; sometimes knowingly sometimes by forgetting.

      So the key to effective NFP is to take a class and learn the method well. Start charting for months before the wedding day so that you can feel confident in the method. Stay in contact with your teacher and follow-up to make sure you are interpreting correctly. After a few months of charts, you should have enough confidence to use the method very effectively. There are also some extra conservative rules that you can use if you are nervous. For example, you can add a day to the rules so instead of waiting for 3 days of cervical mucus dry-up, you can add a day and make it 4 days of dry-up. Same with the temperature sign.

      You can also set up a cut-off in the early part of your cycle so that you aren't having sex too close to ovulation. Instead of using the last dry day rule, I know a few couples who just said - we're going to stop having sex on day 9 even if still dry. You are probably being way more conservative than you have to be, but if you have a serious reason to postpone and feel uneasy about the risk, this is one way that you build in even more security.

      The key to effective NFP is understanding the science behind it. If you look in some of my other answers, you can read some of the explanation behind that; since it sounds like you are already pretty knowledgeable I won't repeat that here.

      I hope this helps. Keep in mind also that some of the "conflicting reports" on NFP are sometimes studies paid for by condom companies, pharmaceuticals, and Planned Parenthood. They aren't exactly objective. There are plenty of scientific studies by the World Health Organization, medical journals, etc to feel confident in the effectiveness of this method. Good luck!!

  15. QUESTION:
    Can a Catholic couple choose to not have children, just as long as they use Natural Family Planning?
    I asked about Natural Family Planning and the Catholic church once before and got some things clarified for me. Now I'm wondering, since using artificial forms of birth control is denying one half of the true union of marriage, is it okay for a couple to consciously choose to not have children at all, but stick with NFP? It does seem as though you are sort of rejecting a part of the other person when you decide that you don't want kids with that person. I hope this makes sense.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes.

      In his Angelus address on July 17, 1994, Pope John Paul II restated the Church's position:

      "Unfortunately, Catholic thought is often misunderstood ... as if the Church supported an ideology of fertility at all costs, urging married couples to procreate indiscriminately and without thought for the future. But one need only study the pronouncements of the Magisterium to know that this is not so.

      Truly, in begetting life the spouses fulfill one of the highest dimensions of their calling: they are God's co-workers. Precisely for this reason they must have an extremely responsible attitude. In deciding whether or not to have a child, they must not be motivated by selfishness or carelessness, but by a prudent, conscious generosity that weighs the possibilities and circumstances, and especially gives priority to the welfare of the unborn child.

      Therefore, when there is a reason not to procreate, this choice is permissible and may even be necessary. However, there remains the duty of carrying it out with criteria and methods that respect the total truth of the marital act in its unitive and procreative dimension, as wisely regulated by nature itself in its biological rhythms. One can comply with them and use them to advantage, but they cannot be "violated" by artificial interference."

      Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years:
      1. Single people should be celibate.
      2. Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
      3. Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.

  16. QUESTION:
    Does natural family planning work?
    My husband and I have been thinking about trying natural family planning. Does it work? Is it worth doing?

    • ANSWER:
      While the "rhythm" method may be better than no form of contraceptive at all, it is far from an effective method of family planning. In fact, according to Wiki and The Planned Parenthood Association, the failure rate is up to 25%.

      That said, choice of contraceptive is a very personalized thing. If you and your husband feel that if you were to have another child, you would be able to provide him/her with the emotional, financial and socio-economic resources s/he needs and deserves and that if you got pregnant it wouldn't be the end of the world, the rhythm method may be a viable option. If, alternatively, it is absolutely not viable (for whatever reason), for you and your husband to raise another child at the moment, I would advise using another method.

      Have a look at this interactive online "gadget" that helps women choose a suitable form of contraception: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/all-access/my-method-26542.htm

  19. QUESTION:
    Natural Family Planning- Did it work for you?
    My husband and I are thinking of trying natural family planning. I'm tired of being on the pill, and we've never liked condoms. I've done some research on NFP, but was wondering how well other people have got on with it. Did you get pregnant? Was it a pain having to record dates all the time?

    • ANSWER:
      Check out this site www.tcoyf.com I also have the book. A lot of good information about trying to conceive or not. There are charts with everything filled out already. You just have to record your temperature every morning. It is a little getting used to at first, but then it becomes second nature just like taking the pill.

  20. QUESTION:
    Natural family planning-is it safe for me?
    I have diabetes, depression and chronic fatigue. I know that an unplanned pregnancy could be detrimental to both me and the baby. I am getting married in the Catholic church and being lectured on the use of natural family planning. Is it safe for me to use that or should I use another form of birth control?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm Catholic and I've been a type 1 diabetic for 26 years. I'm also on some medications that can cause birth defects. I used to be like you and wonder if it was really safe fo rme to use NFP and not another form of birth control. However, as some other posters have commented, NFP--when properly learned and when you follow the rules--it's 97-99% effective. (Essentially it's as effective as the pill, which if often viewed as the gold standard.) On top of that, as a diabetic, the pill--or any hormonal method--is not good for you. The pill (and any hormonal method) increases your risk of blood clots and being a diabetic can increase that risk even more. Furthermore, depression/anxiety and loss of libido are other possible side effects of hormonal methods--neither of which are good for people with depression or who are newlyweds. Most of the barrier methods have lower effectiveness rates.

      I'd recommend that you take a NFP class and learn the method. (There are different methods out there, but if they involve cervical mucus--either along or in conjunction with other signs--it's a good, scientifically tested method.) It's best to learn it sooner rather than later as seminal fluid can make learning the signs difficult......and then when you get married, you'll be ready to go and have already figuired it out.

      And, my husband and I have been married for ~2 years and we have intentionally not conceived yet. We use the Creighton method. I am fully confident that we will be able to avoid pregnancy until we are ready. After learning more about the side effects of other methods, I also wouldn't put my body through that, especially with my diabetes. However, absolutely no method is 100% effective (even sterilization has a failure rate) and if you're having sex, there's a chance (even if small) that you'll get pregnant.

  21. QUESTION:
    what is Natural Family Planning? how to perform?
    I need to know Natural Family Planning / Natural Birth Control .

    if YOU know kindly give me information.

    Thanking YOU!

    • ANSWER:
      Natural birth control to control over yr selves after delivery of one or two children. Make regular period cycle and observe ovulation period for sex. Hope it is more difficult today's era.

  22. QUESTION:
    What are the natural family planning methods?
    I got married recently. I dont want to have a kid at least for 2 years, since my wife is studying. Can anyone suggest me family planning methods other than condoms????

    • ANSWER:
      pretty much all birth control methods that re available now use a chemical or a hormone. She could get on the pill- which I don't recommend since that can delay your chances of conception when you are ready- you could uses foams and gels with spermicide... you could use the "pull out" method- if you can call it a method- or you can time her ovulation and just not have sex that week.... The last two are the least effective, but work for some people- just riskier...

  23. QUESTION:
    How effective is Natural Family Planning?
    Not that I am using it... I am not even married yet. I am just curious because I am Catholic and hear about a lot. Can I get some un-biased answers regarding how effective this method of family planning is? I prefer answers from people who it.

    • ANSWER:
      Providing it's done correctly (which isn't always that easy) it's supposed to be anywhere between 90% - 75% effective. There are lots of factors to take into account though and it's easy for mistakes to be made, especially if a woman's cycle isn't as regular as clockwork. Doctors would likely tell couples that if their religion doesn't forbid contraception then it's really not worth the risk.

      I hope this helps.

  24. QUESTION:
    Natural Family Planning and Breastfeeding?
    My husband and I have choosen to do natural family planning. I have been breastfeeding our son almost exclusivly. From what I have read on using breastfeeding as a form of birth control is that it is only effective if you nurse every few hours including night feedings, your period hasnt returned and your baby is less then 6 months. Well, baby is now six months and starting solids. My period has not returned- but i know i can still get pregnant. Anyway to the question- My husband and I are totally fine with getting pregnant again at this time. But I am on pins and needles all the time with any glimpse that I might be pregnant since I have nothing to measure or sure fire sign to help me notice. No period to watch, Always have tender nipples from breastfeeding, still have baby pouch, didnt have morning sickness with first.
    Has anyone ever been through this? I have already taken 3 tests and always negative-- but once in awhile i get paranoid.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, congratulations on your new son!

      I have used ecological breastfeeding with both my daughters and had return to fertility with my first daughter at 12 months and at 17-18 months with my second. I understand that it can be frustrating just to not know one way or the other. In my experience, from using ecological breastfeeding and also from teaching NFP, you will probably know when fertility is returning. Women usually have a very heavy, very long mucus patch before their first ovulation. This usually happens for a good 1-2 weeks of continuous, heavy volume of fertile mucus.

      When I was breastfeeding, I also took temperatures. Not every day, but usually once a week or so. I knew from my pre-pregnancy charts that my pre-ovulation temperatures were usually around 97.0 and my post-ovulation temperatures were in the higher 97s-98. I didn't want the pressure of daily temperature taking, especially since I didn't always get a good night's sleep that would make the temperatures valid. That way I wasn't wasting money on pregnancy tests either. If I took a temperature and it was in the low 97s, I knew I hadn't ovulated yet.

      There is a good chance that you will continue to have breastfeeding infertility for some months to come. It is a very individual thing. For some women, they can introduce solids, have their babies sleep longer at night, and they will go on to have a year or more of breastfeeding infertility. The level of prolactin that you have influences when you get your fertility back. Some women require very little nursing stimulation to keep their periods away, other women might nurse very frequently but get their periods back early. So every woman's experience is different.

      If you haven't already read Sheila Kippley's "Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing", I highly recommend it. It has lots of stories from different women talking about their nursing experience and how long it was before their fertility returned. It might be a good resource for you. Make you feel a little bit better to see how it has gone for other women.

      As far as using an ovulation predictor kit, I wouldn't advise you to do so because they are very expensive and you might end up using them for months before your periods return. If you haven't already taken a class in NFP, you might consider taking one now because it will help you be able to watch for your signs of fertility and make you feel more comfortable being able to tell when fertility is returning. You can definitely use the mucus and temperature signs to your advantage to knowing more about what is happening with your cycle. You can also learn how to use your cervix sign to indicate that fertility is returning. All of these signs will give you more comfort as you wait for your periods to come back.

      I'm sorry that there are a number of ignorant answers already on here about weaning or using condoms... Ecological breastfeeding is very reliable (99.9%) when used the way that you describe for the first 6 months. I know a lot of babies who were conceived while their parents used condoms or the pill, but no one questions their choices for contraception! So you keep on just like you're doing!

  25. QUESTION:
    Natural family planning, what do you think?
    Has anyone else used the natural family planning method for contraception? Would anyone reccommend using it? What are your thoughts on this method?

    thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      Let me first disclose that I am an NFP teacher, so I am biased in that direction. But I would like to tell you a little about NFP and then give you some places where you can get some more information.

      It is so sad, every time NFP comes up here on yahoo answers, you get all the people who come out and say "Oh, I got pregnant using it" or like Liz "My parents had 5 kids". Let's be serious. I personally have a nephew thanks to condom failure, my BIL was due to contraceptive foam failure, and I know of countless other children who were born after a failure of the pill, the patch, condoms, etc. So no contraceptive is 100%.

      NFP is a great option for married couples who don't like the side effects from chemical birth control and don't like the interference of barrier methods. Let me tell you a little bit about the science behind how it works and why it works.

      NFP is actually very effective. When people talk about their parents generation using NFP, they are talking about the old rhythm method. It was calendar based and did not take into effect the fact that not every woman has regular cycles and that things like stress, travel & illness can cause cycle changes. The rhythm method has fortunately gone away and modern NFP is scientifically based and has 35+ years of research behind it.

      NFP is using a woman's natural signs of fertility to determine if she is in a fertile or infertile part of her cycle. A woman's fertile window is 5-6 days long. This is because sperm, under good circumstances, can live for up to 5 days. A woman's egg can only survive for about 12-24 hours. And once she has ovulated, she will not ovulate again in a cycle (with the rare exception of double ovulation - like for fraternal twins - and ovulation always takes place within 24 hours; all NFP rules take this into consideration).

      So, how does a woman know if she is fertile? The menstrual cycle is dominated by 2 hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Before ovulation, when estrogen starts to kick in, the body starts to produce a special kind of cervical mucus that sort of resembles egg-whites. Her cervix also changes in its position, openness, and firmness. After ovulation, the body triggers a production of progesterone. This hormone makes the cervical mucus dry up, causes the cervix to lower and close, and causes a woman's temperature to rise.

      A woman using NFP watches the changes in her mucus, cervix and temperature and from that knowledge knows which part of the cycle she is in. If she is fertile (close to ovulation) and doesn't want to get pregnant, then she will refrain from having sex. If it is before ovulation she can use special rules to know which days are safe for sex. After ovulation there is no chance of another ovulation so she can have sex at any time.

      NFP is scientifically based and has been proven to be effective in scientific studies, up to 99% rate of effectiveness. It has the same effectiveness as the pill and is MORE effective then condoms or other barrier methods.

      To do NFP correctly, you should take temperatures and also monitor cervical mucus. I highly recommend taking a class in NFP to learn the method well; it may sound complicated from my explanation, but once you start practicing it really only takes a month or two to really get the hang of it. That's why it's nice to have a teacher who can answer your questions.

      There are tons of resources for learning NFP. There are a number of organizations that teach NFP. A good resource is www.omsoul.com, from there you can search for NFP teachers in your area. Go to NFP directory and then to "Doctors, teachers and centers." Some of the best groups to learn from are The Couple to Couple League, Billings Ovulation Method, Northwest Family Services, Foundation of the Americas, the Creighton Method, the Marquette method. Google any of those to learn more about them and how they teach. Some groups, like the Couple to Couple League (www.ccli.org), have homestudy classes. Other groups have online classes, like Northwest family services: http://www.nwfs.org/

      You can also go to www.nfpandmore.org and they have a downloadable, free manual for learning NFP. But again, if you want to use the method with the highest level of effectiveness, please consider taking a class!

      Fertility friend and other online charting sites are good if you have a hard time interpreting your charts. But once you learn the method, it is easy to use and you shouldn't need too much help. That's another reason why it's nice to have a local teacher to help answer your questions.

      Toni Weschler's book "Taking Charge of your Fertility" is good, another good book is "The Art of Natural Family Planning" by John & Sheila Kippley. It is very thorough and covers just about any circumstance dealing with charting.

      I have been doing NFP for almost 10 years now. My husband & I used it for over 2 years to postpone pregnancy and then used it to conceive both our children. It does require commitment and you have to be motivated to follow the rules and not take chances when you are in your fertile time, but I really like knowing what my body is doing and working with it instead of working against it. Hope this helped!!

  26. QUESTION:
    I'm getting married in 2 months will natural family planning work?
    I'm getting married soon, 2 months. My fiancee and I just discovered natual family planning and she just got the book "How to control you fertility" by toni weschler. Does she have enough time to track her cycle? I don't want her to get on any pill/drug for birth control. Any other methods that are good besides me having to wear a party hat until she can track her cycle? I'm looking for any suggestions! thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      NFP will work, you may just have to be conservative for a few months until you have tracked long enough to use the other rules (6 months if I recall) To be most conservative, you consider yourselves fertile begining on day 6 of her cycle, until her temperature has be raised for 3 day. Once her temperature has risen, you are no longer fertile (no party hat needed!).

      My husband & I use NFP and we got pregnant 1 year after our wedding, when we weren't following the rules :) In other words we weren't "trying" to get pregnant, but we wren'y avoiding it either!

      Have you taken an NFP class? We found it very helpful. They are available through many Catholic Churches. The following website has more information nd a link to teachers in your area. The teachers are usually available for questions as well! Good luck!

      http://www.ccli.org/

      Also, if you do conceive right away, it could just be God's will for you!

      EDIT: A couple people on here are thinking of the rhythm method. RM is where you assume that your cycle is thesame each month & it very unreliable. NFP uses mucus signs and basal temperatures and is very effective when used correctly. Does it take will power, yes. Impossible? No.

  27. QUESTION:
    How do you do the natural family planning?
    I don't wqnt to use birth control pills anymore and need details on how to use natural ways like how to know when you are ovulating to avoid sex on those days etc.

    • ANSWER:
      The only way for you to know if you are ovulating is to take your basal body temp each morn, same time and before you get up. You should see a pattern in temps that leads up to and after ovulation. You can get the basal thermometer at Wal-Mart for about 8 dollars. I use a wonderful FREE website called Fertilityfriend.com...it graphs your temps for you, keeps track of your fertility signs, tells you when you ovulate and also tells you if there is an implantation dip in your temps. You can also use Ovulation prediction kits, but they only measure your LH surge and give you a ball park time for ovulation...they do not pin point it. Oh, and it is possible to be ovulating while you do not have your period, just like it is possible to have a period and not ovulate.

  28. QUESTION:
    online natural family planning classes?
    I have to take a class before we get married called natural family planning and someone told me I can take it online does anyone know a website I can go to take it? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Northwest Family Services has an online class: http://www.nwfs.org/

      The Couple to Couple League also has a homestudy class that might work for you: www.ccli.org.

      Good luck! NFP has been a part of my life for almost 13 years now.

  29. QUESTION:
    What are some methods of natural family planning?
    What is the rhythm method.

    Really confuse with the period cycle, when are you your most fertile?
    I am getting married next month and considering taking the pill, just to defer a period.

    But once I am off it I would like to know what natural method to use after the pill.

    • ANSWER:
      This is the least effective method of protection
      You have to be extremely accurate

      usually u ovulate in the middle of the month day 14 so if trying for a baby having sex 3 days before and 3 days after would be best (the egg and the sperm will stay in the body around 3 days) so those 6 days u will be most fertile

      However its very hard to pinpoint if ur ovulating although that is when ur ment to ovulate it can be delayed or come early with certain factors such as stree diet weight ect

      Also tempetuare and sexual position can increase or decrease ur chances- look this up on google as i am unsure of beat methods and do not want to give u a load of usless material)

      you can buy family planning kits in most chemists which can tell you when the tempeture is right and whan ur ovulating and there not too expensive.
      a sign you are ovulating is a thickish discharge foe a day or two.

      Also if u have just come off another form of contraception ie the pill or depo ur cycle can take a while to get back to nornal,

      it can take couples months to conceive even when nothing is wrong so dont despair if u dont get preg straight away-my advice is to enjoy the preparing hehe!!

      Iam sorry i am not sure what the rhythm mehod is but i hope iv helped you a little best of look lol x

  30. QUESTION:

  31. QUESTION:
    How effective is Natural Family Planning if your periods are irregular?
    I think I can tell when I'm ovulating b/c I usually have a twinge-y pain in my ovaries and generally get my period about 2 wks later. But my period is generally anywhere between a 28 and 36 day cycle. There is no way that I can predict it.

    • ANSWER:
      NFP works for regular and irregular cycles with few problems. It sounds like you have a great sign to help you with figuring out when you ovulate; the problem is that if you have sex too close to ovulation, you will get pregnant. So it's not enough to just know when ovulation happens, you have to know when it's approaching so that you can abstain with enough time that the sperm will not still be alive when the egg is released. That's why if you're going to learn NFP, especially with irregular cycles, it's important to learn from a certified teacher how to do NFP. That way you will have the highest level of effectiveness. A good teacher will teach you exactly how to tell that you are entering your fertile time and then will follow-up with you for a few months to make sure you are charting correctly and then answer any questions that you have along the way.

      Just to let you know, I have extremely irregular cycles. I always have. And I learned NFP at a time when my cycles were really wacky and even though I had my moments of frustration that my cycles weren't being nice, I never didn't know what was happening and whether I was in the fertile or infertile time of my cycle.

      Hope that helps. For what it's worth, fluctuating between 28 & 36 day cycles is really not too bad! It's definitely workable!

  32. QUESTION:
    How Often Does Sex Happen In A Catholic Marriage? Natural Family Planning?
    i'm a young man (19) and like most i like sex :) but, i would like to wait until im married and blah blah. how often can you have sexual intercourse when using the natural family method? and how long do you have to go with out? thank you for all the help. please no perverted answers.

    • ANSWER:
      that's great that you would like to wait until marriage.

      natural family planning is a great tool - you just need to make sure you and your wife (her, in particular) are very diligent at taking her temperature and charting it. it is actually extremely accurate and has a comparable success rate to the Pill.

      how you get and how long you go without depends entirely on your wife's menstrual cycle. i will use a real-life example of someone whom i know:

      wife's menstrual cycle = 33 days
      ovulates on the 18th day of cycle
      3 nights after ovulation, she may have intercourse, until her next period
      therefore, she can have intercourse for 11 days straight

      six months after she starts with NFP, she will be better at charting and predicting her ovulation

      she can then additionally have sex the first three days of her cycle (yes, during her period), and even second night until she notices mucous change (which indicates the start of ovulatory activity)

      so we're looking at maybe 16 out of 33 days that you are 'safe' to have sex without falling pregnant

      but just remember, she must be EXTREMELY diligent in the charting... (it's an easy 2min task in the morning)

      also, go to the courses

      ALSO... if God wants you to fall pregnant, He will make that happen no matter what method of contraception you use (just like with Sarah and Elizabeth...)

  34. QUESTION:
    Why is natural family planning allowed in the church?
    NFP is a form of contraception that relies on natural cycles of fertility and infertility
    Much like a condom it says we are not having a kid, because we don't want one.
    -If the issue is whether or not it is natural couldn't they then say that talking on the phone was a sin compared to talking face to face ( same intent, same end result)
    -If it is about not giving God a chance to over ride your decision couldn't a condom break

Any other methods that are good besides me having to wear a party hat until she can track her cycle? I'm looking for any suggestions! thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi Boone,

      You are a brave person to ask a question about NFP on these boards - everyone is an "expert" even though most of them have no idea what they are talking about, other than to say they know "someone" who used NFP and got pregnant, so it must not work. I have a brother-in-law, nephew, and - oh yeah, a HUSBAND thanks to contraceptive failure. I'm not complaining, just pointing out the fact that everything has a risk.

      Since I teach NFP, I can actually speak with accuracy about the method. The book you got is a really good one. To be honest, right before you get married can be a tricky time to learn NFP because stress can cause a woman's body to have an extended Phase 2. That doesn't mean you can't learn & use NFP accurately right now, but it means that your fiance may not have perfect, textbook cycles at first.

      I know that the Toni Weschler book allows for condoms during the fertile time, but I would add that using condoms can sometimes make it difficult to understand the mucus sign; the condoms & spermicides can interfere with mucus production. The best way to learn NFP is by using abstinence during the fertile time. Yes, abstinence is not great, but consider this: couples who use NFP have more sex than contracepting couples. The Pill & any hormone based birth control (IUD, the shot, etc) can lower a woman's libido and barrier methods can take some of the fun out of it. With NFP you sort of appreciate the time you have together and you don't take it for granted that oh, you can have sex anytime, who cares about tonight. Instead, sometimes you know your fertile time is coming up so you might come together more to enjoy that time.

      Let me finish with some general info about NFP for those who are not familiar with it and talk about WHY it works (and no, you can't get pregnant any day of your cycle - that's ridiculous and ignorant!). Then there will be some resources for learning NFP in a class setting, which is really the best way to learn.

      NFP is very effective. When people talk about their parents generation using NFP, they are talking about the old rhythm method. It was calendar based and did not take into effect the fact that not every woman has regular cycles and that things like stress, travel & illness can cause cycle changes. The rhythm method has fortunately gone away and modern NFP is scientifically based and has 35+ years of research behind it.

      NFP is using a woman's natural signs of fertility to determine if she is in a fertile or infertile part of her cycle. A woman's fertile window is 5-6 days long. This is because sperm, under good circumstances, can live for up to 5 days. A woman's egg can only survive for about 12-24 hours. And once she has ovulated, she will not ovulate again in a cycle (with the rare exception of double ovulation - like for fraternal twins - and ovulation always takes place within 24 hours; all NFP rules take this into consideration).

      So, how does a woman know if she is fertile? The menstrual cycle is dominated by 2 hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Before ovulation, when estrogen starts to kick in, the body starts to produce a special kind of cervical mucus that sort of resembles egg-whites. Her cervix also changes in its position, openness, and firmness. After ovulation, the body triggers a production of progesterone.

If it is before ovulation she can use special rules to know which days are safe for sex. After ovulation there is no chance of another ovulation so she can have sex at any time.

      NFP is scientifically based and has been proven to be effective in scientific studies, up to 99% rate of effectiveness. It has the same effectiveness as the pill and is MORE effective then condoms or other barrier methods.

      To do NFP correctly, you should take temperatures and also monitor cervical mucus. I highly recommend taking a class in NFP to learn the method well; it may sound complicated from my explanation, but once you start practicing it really only takes a month or two to really get the hang of it. That's why it's nice to have a teacher who can answer your questions. If you are on medication that can cause birth defects, I would suggest that you abstain from sexual intercourse until after ovulation; even though it will mean fewer days for sex every month, you don't want to mess around with becoming pregnant with the risks to the baby. When couples have unintended pregnancies with NFP, it is usually because the couple has had sex too late in the month and ended up being too close to ovulation. The safest way to practice NFP when in dire circumstances is to abstain from sex until after ovulation. This may be too conservative for you, you can decide. The first 6 days of the month are highly infertile, especially if your cycles are always longer than 26 days (without birth control pills).

      There are tons of resources for learning NFP. There are a number of organizations that teach NFP. A good resource is www.omsoul.com, from there you can search for NFP teachers in your area. Go to NFP directory and then to "Doctors, teachers and centers." Some of the best groups to learn from are The Couple to Couple League, Billings Ovulation Method, Northwest Family Services, Foundation of the Americas, the Creighton Method, the Marquette method. Google any of those to learn more about them and how they teach. Some groups, like the Couple to Couple League (www.ccli.org), have homestudy classes. Other groups have online classes, like Northwest family services: http://www.nwfs.org/

      You can also go to www.nfpandmore.org and they have a downloadable, free manual for learning NFP. But again, if you want to use the method with the highest level of effectiveness, please consider taking a class!

      Fertility friend and other online charting sites are good if you have a hard time interpreting your charts. But once you learn the method, it is easy to use and you shouldn't need too much help. That's another reason why it's nice to have a local teacher to help answer your questions.

      I've given you a lot of information, I hope some of it is helpful! Best of luck on your upcoming marriage. She is a lucky woman, not all women would have a fiance so caring as to not want to expose his future wife to the health risks associated with the pill.

  36. QUESTION:
    What is the best method of natural family planning?
    I was required to go to NFP for the marriage prep. I am very unsure about the method I took since it was dependent on how I "felt" if I was damp or dry. Thanks for the help!

    • ANSWER:
      I can understand your skepticism. Women are not taught how their bodies work and what normal functions are happening "down there" every cycle. In my opinion, this should be taught in every health class because it helps girls understand so much about their bodies.

      There are different methods of NFP. Some depend only on cervical mucus observations, like dampness or dryness, others also incorporate taking your temperature every day. Some women prefer the methods that use temperatures because that helps confirm what they are observing with their mucus observations.

      NFP actually is more than just how you feel. It is the systematic observation of cervical mucus every time you go to the bathroom. If you are skeptical, just do your own observations for a couple of weeks. The best time to observe the changes are the 2 weeks after your period ends. What you will see is that at first, when you wipe before and after using the bathroom, is that there is nothing noticeable on the toilet paper and when you wipe it feels scratchy and dry.

      Then, after a few days or a week, you will start to notice something on the tissue. There might be some dampness or even a slight amount of white or clear fluid that is a little sticky if you touch it between two fingers. This is a sign that your body is getting ready to ovulate. You will normally see a buildup of fluid for 3-5 days before you ovulate. As ovulation gets closer, that fluid (or mucus) will start to grow in quantity. It will become all clear and if you touch it between two fingers it will stretch over an inch, sometimes up to 5 or 6 inches. When you wipe, you will notice that the tissue glides easily and it feels slippery when wiping. These are signs that ovulation is very close. After ovulation, when you wipe, it will again feel rough or scratchy and your mucus will either dry up or will change to a sticky type fluid again.

      These are very clear signs - you really can't miss them, especially once you know what you are looking for. I am guessing that you only got an introduction to NFP at your marriage prep. I would encourage you to take a full class because once you understand the method, you realize why a woman's body is made to show the signs of fertility and infertility and how easy it is after a couple months of practice to know exactly what is going on and how to use that knowledge to achieve or avoid pregnancy.

      If you have any more questions, just edit and I'll try to help!

  37. QUESTION:
    Why does Natural Family Planning hold the moral high ground over artificial birth control, Catholics?
    Isn't the intent the same, to prevent pregnancy?
    But Cecile, doesn't NFP intend to do just that, defy gods will? If god really wanted someone to have a baby, I don't see a pill or a condom stopping him. He got a virgin and an old woman pregnant in the bible.

    • ANSWER:

  38. QUESTION:
    Birth Control Methods - Natural Family Planning?
    In addition to using condoms, I am on the pill. I am planning on cutting out condoms soon because I am in a committed relationship. I have heard that there is a type of Birth Control called Natural Family Planning, when you refrain from intercourse when you are the most fertile. Can I use this as a second type of birth control as a back up? Or because I am on the pill does this make it useless to be using this because I am controlling my menstrual cycle anyways?
    Thank you for your response!

    • ANSWER:
      NFP is a great method of family planning, but it cannot be combined with the use of hormonal contraception. When you are on the pill, you are not having normal menstrual cycles. The pill is meant to inhibit ovulation and the bleeding that you have is not a post-ovulation period but a withdrawal bleeding. It might mimic the menstrual cycle in its timing, but it is in no ways a real cycle.

      NFP is based on determining a woman's fertile time and avoiding intercourse around that time. The primary sign you rely on to know when you are approaching your fertile time is your cervical mucus. However, when on the pill, the hormones cause your body to create a different sort of cervical mucus, masking the natural cervical mucus around ovulation. So the mucus sign would be rendered unreliable.

      Then in NFP the way you determine when ovulation is passed is by taking your temperature every morning. Around ovulation your temperatures go up and stay higher than earlier temperatures. However, when taking hormonal birth control, your temperatures are kept artificially high by the hormones in the pill. So you are not able to determine if/when ovulation has passed.

      It is a dirty little secret among ob/gyns that the pill does not always suppress ovulation. The pill has two backup mechanisms to deal with that. The first is to make that unnatural, thick cervical mucus that work to keep the sperm out. The second is to thin the lining of the uterus so that if you ovulate and if the sperm make it to the egg, that the newly created embryo would not be able to implant in the uterus. Many people do not realize that. It basically causes a very early abortion.

      So that is the long answer to your question. If you have any more interest in NFP, please look at some of my other answers. I explain more in there about how NFP actually works and I can assure you it is most definitely NOT an outdated method of family planning. It has a lot of science and biology backing it up and doesn't have any of the serious health risks that the pill has. And it has 99% effectiveness when used properly.

  39. QUESTION:
    how many of you catholics use or are planning to use Natural Family Planning?
    and what is your defense for limiting family size?

    • ANSWER:
      We use NFP. Currently we are using it to avoid pregnancy due to my health problems and financial constraints (my last delivery was very traumatic; I will be high risk if we conceive again, and we can't afford the extra cost).

      I wish with all my heart we could expand our family, however. I find it very sad that we are, perhaps, "done." I often ask the Lord if there is a way we can adopt a sibling group who needs a family.

  40. QUESTION:
    Natural Family Planning for irregular period?
    How can I make Natural Family Planning work if I have irregular period? I'm currently breastfeeding for 7 months now and my period hasn't resumed. How can I start with NFP?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi! I have used NFP before and after having children and I have also been an NFP teacher for 5+ years. Learning NFP during the postpartum period is a little more difficult, but the transition time is not too bad and with a good teacher, you can definitely learn and learn effectively.

      While you are breastfeeding you may experience a long period of not having your periods. As you start to add solid foods into your baby's diet your periods may come back, or you might not get your periods back until your baby weans. It is different for every woman. With my first daughter I had 12 months with no periods; with my second I had almost 18 months.

      The most important thing for you to monitor is your cervical mucus. Some breastfeeding mothers have sort of a constant pattern of cervical mucus, others may stay pretty dry until their cycles are getting ready to resume. It varies from woman to woman. However, almost every woman experiences a very heavy, prolonged patch of fertile type cervical mucus for 1-3 weeks before her first ovulation. This is usually so obvious that it's impossible to miss. Many women actually have a "warning period" before their cycles resume as well. They will have some bleeding even though they haven't ovulated yet.

      As time goes on, your chances of ovulating before your first period will increase, which is why it's important to learn your mucus sign well and be very vigilant about monitoring cervical mucus, especially in times where you are not nursing as much. For example, with me, my cycles resumed with my daughter, it was at Christmas time when we had traveled in the car a lot so my daughter wasn't nursing as much, and then we were at my in-laws house and my daughter was so distracted she wasn't nursing as much either.

      The Couple to Couple League teaches a "patch rule" for using NFP while nursing, it teaches that when you see some fertile type mucus you have to abstain for a period of time to make sure that it is not your return to fertility. A teacher can help explain more about that rule and what to look for, but it helps so that you are not looking at long periods of abstinence as you return to fertility.

      Your first few months after your period comes back may be unusual; you may have longer cycles than before your baby was born and the time between ovulation and the start of your next cycle may be short. But usually your cycles will resume to normal after 2-3 months. The nice thing about learning NFP while breastfeeding is that you learn at a more challenging time and then the rest of your cycles seem easy to interpret!! :) I hope that helps.

  41. QUESTION:
    Any information on the effectiveness of natural family planning?
    We would like to begin this method of birth control and dont know a whole lot about it. Any info you have or experiences would be great! Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      My husband & I have used NFP for 10 years now. We initially learned the Billings Method but because I had irregular cycles, it was difficult, so we switched to the sympto-thermal method as taught by the Couple to Couple league. It was such a big influence in our life & marriage that we went on to become NFP teachers. I love being able to talk to others about NFP. It is such a misunderstood form of family planning. It is more effective than any barrier methods and is about equal to the pill - WHEN USED CORRECTLY. That "when used correctly" part is what can give NFP a bad name. But it's true for any kind of family planning. If you don't take your pill every day or use a condom every time, then you reduce effectiveness. Well, if you have sex when you know you can be fertile, you don't make your use of NFP very effective.

      Most people who have unexpected pregnancies while using NFP get pregnant because they have sex too late in the early part of their cycle.

      The most effective way to use NFP is after taking a class. If you don't know of any classes in your area, go to www.omsoul.com and go to their teacher-finder section. Some organizations also do home study (Couple to Couple League) or online classes - (Northwest Family Services).

      Our own personal experience is that we used NFP to postpone for the first 2 years of our marriage, though some very challenging situations. We then used NFP to help diagnose a medical disorder that would go on to give me infertility issues. Thanks to NFP I was able to conceive twice during cycles where, if I hadn't been using NFP, I never would have known to keep trying because I ovulated so late in my cycle.

      If it makes you feel any better, one of the first couples we ever taught used NFP successfully for over 5 years before they decided to be open to pregnancy.

      Just to give a little more information on how NFP works, let me explain that NFP is using a woman's natural signs of fertility to determine if she is in a fertile or infertile part of her cycle. A woman's fertile window is 5-6 days long. This is because sperm, under good circumstances, can live for up to 5 days. A woman's egg can only survive for about 12-24 hours. And once she has ovulated, she will not ovulate again in a cycle (with the rare exception of double ovulation - like for fraternal twins - and ovulation always takes place within 24 hours; all NFP rules take this into consideration).

      So, how does a woman know if she is fertile? The menstrual cycle is dominated by 2 hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Before ovulation, when estrogen starts to kick in, the body starts to produce a special kind of cervical mucus that sort of resembles egg-whites. Her cervix also changes in its position, openness, and firmness. After ovulation, the body triggers a production of progesterone. This hormone makes the cervical mucus dry up, causes the cervix to lower and close, and causes a woman's temperature to rise.

      A woman using NFP watches the changes in her mucus, cervix and temperature and from that knowledge knows which part of the cycle she is in. If she is fertile (close to ovulation) and doesn't want to get pregnant, then she will refrain from having sex. If it is before ovulation she can use special rules to know which days are safe for sex. After ovulation there is no chance of another ovulation so she can have sex at any time. Because NFP interpretation is based on current information, NFP can be used by women whose cycles are regular, irregular, and everything inbetween. A woman using NFP is using the information her body is giving her on a day to day basis to decide if she is fertile or infertile, and her body will let her know if there are changes happening due to cycle fluctuations, travel, stress, illness, etc.

      Learning NFP can be confusing at first, but it gets easier after the first 2-3 months. Once you learn the rules, it actually doesn't require much thought at all! A minute a day to record your information and then you're done. After I learned the method well, I didn't chart after I confirmed ovulation either, so I really only charted the first half of my cycle and then took the second half off every month.

      Hope that helps!

  42. QUESTION:
    Where is the best place online to chart my natural family planning?
    I find it difficult to do NFP on paper, I forget to put a pen next to my bed or something. Is there a good place to chart my temperatures online? Or maybe even a program with a USB thermometer or something?

    Any help, advice, or encouragement is appreciated.

    ~Treasa
    You should check out Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's a book. That website is sadly inaccurate and I hope you aren't using it to avoid pregnancy, because it won't work! hehe.

    • ANSWER:
      A lot of women use fertilityfriend.com. I have found that their interpretations are sometimes very weird and so I would only use it for tracking purposes, not for interpretive purposes, especially if you are trying to avoid pregnancy.

      The Couple to Couple League has its own NFP software. I have not seen it first hand but I have heard very good things about it.

      Of course, my husband used to just chart my cycles using Excel and he thought that was really fun because he could do all sorts of tricks to overlay cycles or compare the average high and low, etc.

      Now that I think about it, I thought TCOYF had a software program as well...?

      Good luck!

  43. QUESTION:
    How do you do those natural family planning charts?
    my ob/gyn told me to chart my temp at the same time everyday with an oral thermometer.
    Does it have to be at exactly the same time everyday?
    isn't there a easier way to find out when/ if I ovulate?
    besides those ovulation kits you get from the store.
    yes she discussed secretions with me, and I dont think that would be very reliable.
    what if one were to take her temp at the same time everyday like early in the morning then fall back asleep once it has been done, would that still work?

    • ANSWER:
      First, you'll want to get a Basal Body Temperature (BBT) thermometer. This thermometer reads 4 digits, instead of 3 as a fever thermometer does. BBT thermometers are available at Walgreens, Walmart and Target for about 6 to 10 dollars.

      Keep the thermometer on your nightstand, along with a pen and piece of paper to record your daily temp (so you don't forget it). Take your temp the same time every morning after you wake up BUT before getting out of bed.

      You can plot your temperatures each day onto a graph (they come with the thermometer) or into a web-based program like http://www.fertilityfriend.com, which is free.

      I like fertility friend a lot because it does the figuring for me. Also, they have a free email course on how to chart and understanding what it means: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/

      Happy Temping!!!

      EDITED TO ADD: Yes, you can take your temparture and then fall back asleep. I do this on the weekends a lot. Just be sure to write down the temparture or tell your partner so you don't foget it!!

  44. QUESTION:
    Is it morally correct to use Natural Family Planning if you are Catholic and already have children?
    Just curious, no inappropriate answers please, and please list sources if applicable. Thanks.
    This is also keeping in mind that the couple does not wish to have more children. Would it still be okay?

    • ANSWER:
      It's okay for married Catholic couples to use natural family planning if they have a very serious reason for delaying conception.

      Just to give you examples from my own life, my husband and I have had several periods of time when we sought to delay pregnancy with NFP, including:

      1. Right after a baby was born to give my body time to recover.
      2. When we were dealing with greatly reduced household income due to a layoff (that's happened more than once).
      3. When my husband suffered a brain injury (he was walking in a crosswalk and struck by an armored truck).
      4. When we purchased a new house for our growing family, but the buyer of our old home backed out, so we owned two houses for about five months and were really strapped financially.
      5. When my health declined and I had to go on specific medication that wouldn't be good during pregnancy.

      Just not wanting to have more children may or may not be a good reason. If the marriage is in trouble and the couple is finding it difficult to provide for all their existing kids, that could be an acceptable reason. If they just don't want any more so that they can indulge themselves on expensive items, vacations, country clubs and so on, then probably not. Consulting a priest would be the best way to sort it out.

  45. QUESTION:
    What are the three Natural Family Planning methods approved by the Catholic Church?
    Is Standard Days one? What are the others?

    • ANSWER:
      1. Fertility Awareness - There are various tests which can determine when a woman is fertile and when she is not fertile.
      2. Calendar Based Methods - Going by a woman's menstruation cycle is another reliable way to know when she is ovulating. It's simple after a woman has her period count 14 days ahead that day is when she is the most fertile, than add three or four days behind and ahead of that day that is the time period when she is most likely able to get pregnant. So during that week all you need to do is abstain from having sex.
      3. Lactational Amernorrhea- And of course when a woman is breast feeding she will most likely not be fertile.

      By the way me and my wife have been married now for 11 years and have two boys both of which were planed using the calendar method. We also somewhat decided the sex of our children using this method.

Fall Pregnant

Conceive Naturally After 40 - Top 5 Tips On How To Fall Pregnant
Falling pregnant after 40 can be challenging for some women. This can be due to a complex web of factors. At BumpFertility we believe that the most important factor in preparing for a healthy pregnancy at any age is to stay as healthy as possible. As a woman close to or after 40yrs, it's true that you may have a few more challenges ahead of you than a woman below 35yrs would. Those challenges may include some of the following factors:
A higher likelihood of having pre-existing medical conditions that may lower your fertility A more challenging time conceiving naturally A higher possibility of miscarriage A greater risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities A greater risk of complications during delivery
However, the odds are still in favor of a healthy pregnancy even with these challenges, as long as you take good care of yourself and get appropriate care. So understanding what you can do to improve your pre conceptive health to reduce your risks will help you give yourself the best possible chance at conceiving after 40!

Is your body Baby Ready?

The best place to start is with a full Health and Hormone Assessment. This will uncover the areas that we need to work on and provide dietary guidance, nutritional recommendations and herbal support to work on those areas that may be decreasing your chances of falling pregnant naturally.

Conditions such as:
Immune System Imbalance Liver Function Nutritional status Poly Cystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOS) Fibroids Endometriosis Thyroid Imbalance Hormonal imbalances Heavy Metal Toxicity Thyroid Imbalance
... Are all important considerations when planning to fall pregnant after 40.

Undiagnosed or untreated hormonal imbalances and medical problems can have a significant impact on the safety of a pregnancy.

Medications that you take for a chronic condition also could affect a pregnancy. So it's important that you consult your GP before falling pregnant if you are taking medications.

My pre-pregnancy Health and Hormone review and Natural Fertility program can help you optimize your body for fertility before you try to conceive.

Unfortunately, a woman's chance of conceiving starts to decline gradually as she reaches her mid-30s and this decline in fertility becomes more significant in the years beyond 40. This is normally because the quantity and quality of eggs diminishes and the possibility of problems with ovulation increase. The good news is, herbs, nutritional supplementation and dietary changes tailored to your hormonal profile dramatically increase your odds of conceiving naturally.

Although your chances of conceiving are lower now than they would have been in your 20s or 30s, there are several things that you can do to maximize your chances of conceiving in your early 40s.

If you have normal menstrual cycles and you want to conceive naturally, then it is important to get your body "baby ready".

    • ANSWER:
      How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

      1. Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  8. QUESTION:
    The fastest way to get pregnant?
    Is there really a way to get pregnant faster? Cause both my husband and I want to have a baby and it just doesn't seem to be happening for us. Is there positions we could try?

    • ANSWER:
      Take it from someone who had tried for 13 1/2 years to get pregnant. There is no "fast" way to "get pregnant". We tried all sort of positions, days ( even days, odd days, every other day), vitamins, faith ( even had a Fertility Budd ah doll and a Fertility necklace-hey after 13 1/2 years, was willing try whatever it took!).
      If your body isn't ready it isn't ready. However, if you have not gotten pregnant in the first year of trying...you need to speak with your doctor. Key of advice, be strong with them and tell them what you expect and want ( not just saying, I want a baby). If the doctor isn't working with you, find someone who WILL!
      After 13 1/2 years, Clomid worked for me my second month of being on it. It doesn't work for everyone.
      Good Luck to you both...and don't believe the myth " be free of stress" as it only ADDS stress to it.
      Don't forget to have fun...trying for years can take alot fa'zas out of the relationship. It isn't a chore and nor should it become one. Good luck!!

  10. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to get pregnant?
    I have just started trying to get pregnant with my hubby and I have yet to see any results. I have baby fever and really want a baby. What is the fastest way to make my dream come true?

    • ANSWER:
      Buy an ovulation kit from your supermarker or pharmacy. Try and abstain from sex until you are ovulating. It works like a pregnancy test and will tell you if you are ovulating or not.

      If you can't do that, or cant tell when you are ovulating then having sex every three days should ensure that there is always a time when the egg and the sperm will be together at some point in your body!!!

      If you don't get pregant within six months you might want to see your doctor, but it can take a while...good luck : )

  11. QUESTION:
    What are fast ways to get pregnant?
    Stupid way of asking it.
    But when I'm good and ready to start trying. Are there foods you can eat, pills you can take?

    • ANSWER:
      Nope, there's nothing you can do besides have sex to get pregnant. I wish there was a quick fix! Everyone here would be using it. It is good to eat healthy, exercise, and take your prenatal vitamins just for the health of a future baby but nothing will help you get pregnant. Good luck.

    • ANSWER:

  13. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest way to getting pregnant, how do i know my fertility status?
    we want to try for a child but i have never gotten pregnant bbefore so i dont know whether i can get pregnant at all, besides my periods are so very iregular and 28 yrs old now, my boy friend is 34yrs we both have good jobs, i dont know the kind of vitamin supliments to take, to boost my fetility and start having normal periods, is it possible for me to conceive ?

    • ANSWER:
      It's difficult to say exactly how long it will take any one individual or couple to get pregnant. Factors such as your age, general and reproductive health, and when you have intercourse all impact your chances of conceiving a child

      However, these general statistics may give you an idea of how long it will take. Normally fertile couples have a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant each cycle, and a cumulative pregnancy rate of 75 to 85 percent over the course of one year. Still, some healthy couples can take even longer to get pregnant

      And you can try to increase your likelihood of getting pregnant sooner by learning to pinpoint exactly when you ovulate, and by familiarizing yourself with the cyclic hormonal and physical changes that take place in your body each month.

      I have included some links for you so you can do some reading and research on your body. OVULATION IS THE KEY TO GETTING PREGNANT! Remember that. These are the steps you need to take...
      1.) Make an appt. with an OBGYN. He or She needs to give you a complete exam and make sure you are having regular periods, that your tubes are unblocked, and that you donot have anything else that may cause you to not get Pregnant ie...sexually transmitted diseases, PCOS, ect...
      2.) You need to make sure that you are ovulating. Belive it or not, some women, do not ovulate. And as I said, Ovulation is the KEY to getting pregnant. To do this, you should buy a Basal Themometor (you can buy at almost any store where they sell regular themometors.) and start taking your temps EVERY MORNING BEFORE you get out of bed. to read more about this, check out this website for what they have to say about it.. http://www.mamasark.com/BBT.htm
      3.) you also need to learn to check your Cervix Position AND your Cervial Mucus everyday. To learn more about this check out these websites... http://www.webwomb.com/check_cervical_position.htm
      and
      http://www.webwomb.com/cervical_mucus_page.htm
      4.) Once you have got this all down you need a place to chart them all so that you can keep track of what your body is doing and when you ovulate. www.fertilityfriend.com is the best place to do this. It is a free site and it allows you to chart your temperature, your cervial mucus and position and helps detrmine when you ovulate.

      *********OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY AND HAVE ALOT OF SEX AND HOPE FOR THE BEST! LOL But you asked for the quickest way to get pregnant, and these are the steps you need to take in order to do it.*****

      ~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~PLEASE REMEMBER!!!! Even a 100% healthy couple only has a 40% chance of conciving each month, so dont get discouraged if it doesnt happen right away, even if you do all the things above. Just have fun with it, and do not make sex a chore or a job, just relax and enjoy eachother, and when the time is right, you will get Pregnant!
      Good luck to you and TONS OF BABY DUST YOUR WAY!!!!! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

  14. QUESTION:
    is this a fast way to get pregnant..?
    after having sex, laying with a pillow under your bum ? would the sperm travel to your cervics and stay there, instead of dripping out ,,is there more of a chance while doing this ?

      It's better to not stand up right away, and you can try a pillow if you want but it probably won't make that much of a difference as opposed to just laying down flat.

    • ANSWER:
      Invest in Ovulation predictor Kits..start using the 7 day kits on say day 8 or 9 of your cycle.. have sex every other day.. you might want to have hi sperm tested though.. even if your issues are corrected.. he may still be a problem. There are 3 things they look for in a sperm analysis.. morphology..how are they shaped or deformed..mobility..can they swim good and count...

      My sister in law has used and had great success with this over the counter product which is available for men and women.. FertilityBlend. I recommend it all the time. It includes folate which you should be taking so if you take a prenatal vitamin already and you use this product you do not need the prenatal until you become pregnant.

      To improve my chances..I'd have sex all month long every other day and lie still with your knees elevated for at least 10 minutes.

      Good Luck and baby dust.

    • ANSWER:
      So how do you ensure that you have good quality Cervical Fluid ? Well, since you're looking for ways to get pregnant, here are some tips on improving your cervical fluid. There are several.

      Drink water, lot's of it. At least 8 glasses a day can do wonders in improving your cervical fluid.

      Eat baby carrots lot's of them too. Because of the Vitamin A in the baby carrots (beta carotene), it has been known to really improve the amount and quality of your cervical fluid.

      Take plain Robitussin. The kind with nothing extra in it, no extra letters on the box, such as DM. Just plain Robitussin. The same way that it loosens up your Mucus when you have a cough, it also thins the mucus in other parts of your body.

      OK, if you do those three things, you should have more than adequate Cervical Fluid which should keep those little swimmers alive for days. ... Good Luck !

  28. QUESTION:
    Fastest way top get pregnant?
    I'm 24 yrs old and i want to get pregnant. My man and i have been trying for the pass year and still nothing. Any tips on how to get pregnant faster?

    • ANSWER:
      There are several baby-type websites up and running. Do a search for 'preconception' or 'ovulation calculator'. It will ask the question of "What was the first day of your last period?" Enter the date into the spot provided. Then it asks for days in your cycle. If you are average this will probably be 28 days. When you enter the information the site will calculate the days you will ovulate (if you are average). It's usually a three day window. Make sure you and your partner are very, very active on those three days for sure, though extra days are good too (and fun). If your fertility is normal and you have no medical issues then you should get pregnant within the first couple of months. It's how I had my first two children and how I "picked" the month they would be born.

  29. QUESTION:
    Whats the fastest way to get pregnant and vice versa acide from birth control?

    Thank you for that second comment that’s mainly what it is, as for my third I conveniently left out the fact that me and my boyfriend have been together for three but having unprotected sex for about a year and a half now, I wanted to see the responses I’d get before that info. I had one child currently, a son, 2 years old from a previous relationship and it is so much fun. I’m kind of eager for a little girl. ;)

    • ANSWER:
      Huh?

      The fastest way is to time intercourse to ovulation. But that's at best a 20% chance per month. You just have to wait for the right egg and sperm to meet.

  30. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way of getting pregnant?
    Ok. me and my man are trying to conceive a baby right now. We have sex all the time and on days of my ovulation. we have been trying for the last 5 months to have a baby. what is fastest way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      As all have said the fastest way is to have sex. The window of ovulation is only open for about 18 hours and it occurs approximately 14 days after the start of your period. So from the time of 10 days after the start of your period to 18 days after your period, have sex every 12 hours, more frequent if you can.

  31. QUESTION:
    what is the fastest way to get pregnant after stopping birth control?

    BESIDES THE OBVIOUS HAVING SEX.

    • ANSWER:
      The fastest way is with In Vitro Fertilization.
      The second fastest way is Intrauterine Insemination along with fertility drugs.

      The best way is to patiently try on your own first by having regular sex every 1-2 days, followed by getting medical help if nothing has happened after a year.

  32. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to get pregnant fast?
    im tryin to give my friend some ideas

    • ANSWER:
      have sex around the time you are ovulating, however, its not as easy as laying down and bam you're pregnant. it takes the average couple 6 months to conceive when they are actively trying.

  33. QUESTION:
    Any easy fast ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to have a baby and have been trying for over a year ; any easy ways?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually if its been a year and couples still haven't conceived, they'll go visit a fertility doctor to make sure his sperm count is ok (high enough) and that there's nothing wrong w/your uterus or eggs. Easiest way for me, my pregnancy was planned and I had been on birth control pills for 7 years and was my 1st and only child so far. I tracked my period and used an online ovulation calendar that told me when my fertile days were and just made sure I had sex on those days. I stopped my pills in October. I ended up getting my regular period in November and was pregnant got pregnant in December.

  34. QUESTION:
    Faster way of getting pregnant after tubal reversal?
    I got my tubes tied 4 yrs ago, (2007) and on Dec. 2011 I got them reverse. I really want to get pregnant as soon as possible. Any ideas, method? I am 29 yrs old and think the longer i try the less possibility of getting pregnant is less :(

    • ANSWER:
      First, congratulations on your tubal reversal surgery! The journey is such an exciting one. Second, 29 years old is young. Do not let your age get you down..you still have plenty of fertile years.

      The best advice given when trying to conceive is knowing when you ovulate. Knowing ovulation time will help you because you know when your most fertile time of the month is. There are ovulation predictor kits (OPK's) available at your local pharmacy and can also be found online. There are different brands and the cost will vary.

      Another way of pinpointing ovulation is with taking your Basal Body Temperature, This is where you will take your temperature when waking at about the same time each and every day and then charting the temps. Temperature fluctuations will help you determine when ovulation has taken place. I will include a link to help you better understand this.

      A healthy lifestyle for both you and your partner is advised. And remember to be taking your prenatal vitamins. :)

      And remember, try not to stress out over the TTC. It will not help and stress is not good for you! Try to find things to keep your mind busy. If you still have not conceived in a year you can ask to have the HSG to make sure that your tubes are still indeed open. Once you get that positive pregnancy test, early pregnancy monitoring is very important.

      I hope this helps! And tons of baby dust to you.

  35. QUESTION:
    is there any faster way to get pregnant with some sort of drugs ?
    is there any faster way to get pregnant with some sort of drugs ?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, but only by prescription. There are certain things you can do to boost your fertility (eating healthy, etc.) and lots of old wives tales about certain things that will make a difference. But, in terms of making a real difference with quick conception, prescription drugs are the main method. Clomid is usually the first drug your doctor will try, which stimulates the follicles to mature and release eggs. HOWEVER, fertility drugs are ONLY for women who have proven problems conceiving, because there are always risks. Multiple pregnancy is more common on fertility drugs, and is risky for mom and babies. Many women get pregnant the first month on clomid, but it is also associated with ovarian cysts that can even lead to ultimate infertility. Talk with your doctor.

  36. QUESTION:
    what is the easest way to get pregnant fast?

    • ANSWER:
      After having sex, make sure you're lying down and place a small pillow under your pelvis for about 20 mins. This allows the sperm to sit deep into your vagina, and creates a "pool" of sperm for your cervix to dip into. Also, having sex every 2nd day ensures that there is always sperm available.My doc said that because sperms live for an average of 5 days, having sex every second is the best way to conceive when you're unsure of your ovulation dates. Good luck and have fun!!

  37. QUESTION:
    What,s the fastest way to get pregnant?
    My husband and i have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. What can we do to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      When i was TTC i was'nt even a year trying and i knew there has to be a problem. People on here were telling me to wait and 8 months was'nt a long time. I went to my DR who referred me to a fertility specialist (privately), the appointment took 3 months to come so i was 11 months trying then. Im so glad i didnt listen to people. The app privately cost me €300, we got my husbands sperm tested, i had an internal on my ovaries, he ruled out PCOS and is now putting me on clomid as he thinks from being on the pill for years my reproductive system needs a kick start to get ovulating properly. Im also going for a HSG in approx 2 weeks to rule out blocked tubes. For a few hundred Euro im getting a lot of answers and i would urge people to get checked out sooner rather than wait over a year because for some women who might be pushing on a bit, well every month that passes by makes a difference. I said 100% get an appointment for a specialist and start ruling things out. It might be something so small and simple that you need and if you had it sooner it would save years of heart ache and routine baby sex and you can get on with your life.

  38. QUESTION:
    What's the fastest way to get pregnant?
    I know i'm supposed to be having sex, which I've been doing regularly for the past two years but nothing's happening. I've tried paying more attention to my ovulation period, etc etc. nothing. Help!!

    I know my guy is ok, cuz we have a kid, its just this second one we are having difficulties with.

    • ANSWER:
      Go to your gynocologist and he/she will test your hormone levels and recommend your guy have his sperm tested as well. Two years is too long to go without getting pregnant. If there is anything wrong (which there probably is) your doctor will give you fertility meds and vitamins for both you and your husband/boyfriend.
      Also, make sure you are taking care of your self because healthy women get pregnant much easier. So if your weight is high then reduce it, and if you smoke or do drugs then stop.

  39. QUESTION:
    What is the best and fastest way to get pregnant???? Serious ppl only?
    I am wanting a baby soon.. I dont want to go through all the bs with doctors

    • ANSWER:
      1. You should definitely be off birth control pills for at least 6 months.
      2. Get a check up with your gynecologist- make sure you are "ready to conceive", meaning, you do not have any underlying hormone imbalance at this time. Ask her what vitamins you should start taking BEFORE you conceive, I cant remember the name, but she will tell you. She can also give you the name of the over the counter basal thermometer to buy- this will pinpoint exactly when you are ovulating and therefore have the best chance of conceiving.
      3. You want to be healthy as a horse before you conceive- and since you are smart enough to "plan" this greatest experience in life, discuss with your doctor any of your concerns you may have about your health.
      4. You didn't mention the father- but if you have a special someone who is going to be the father, it is not a bad idea to make sure he is in good health also.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Is there an easy way to conceive of time dilation?
    Try as I might, I just can't seem to conceive of the concept of "time dilation" in a way that's intuitive. It's as though every time it comes up in the book that I'm reading, I have to pause for a few minutes and think about it. And then when it comes around again, I have to do the same thing. It's disappointing, when I contrast this with the concept of "reference frames", which have slowly become something I can accept almost as common sense.

    • ANSWER:
      You have to throw away common sense to understand relativity, but start your understanding FROM ELEMENTARY LEVEL, as if you are STARTING to read physics.As for time dilation, I can give you a simple interpretation ( though not perfect) to understand.
      Suppose a train is moving very fast, nearto the speed of light. A girl inside the train starts to run in such her absolute velocity from ground level, given non-relativistically by sum of velocity of train respect to ground and of girl respect to train, surpasses the velocity of light. But nature cannot allow this. So the time in the train, seen from ground is such expanded that speed of girl = distance/ time is decreased and her velocity seen from ground is lower than speed of light. As if nature has dilated time in the superfast train to respect the limit of speed.
      (this is elementary thinking, but not correct as no existence of NATURE is explained.For correct explanation, read the observer - observation explanation in the book with a cool head)

  2. QUESTION:
    I am having trouble concieving, can anyone tell me an easy way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Well there is no easy way to conceive really. There are a couple of things you can do. You can chart so you know when you ovulation is occuring because that is when you get pregnant but most women have to chart for several months to figure out the cycle. You can buy the ovulation strips which tell you when you are ovulating or you can buy a clearblue fertility monitor. You test everyday and it tells you what is going on with your body. Then it will tell you when to have sex to most likely conceive.
      Or you can try the easiest and least expensive have sex every other day or every two days after your period. That way you won't miss your ovulation. The doctor recommends you not having sex everyday so that his sperm is good and healhty and there is a lot when you do have sex. I am charting now everyday and I'm keeping track of when we have sex. I know that sounds weird but it will work. When you are not ovulation his sperm last a couple of hours in your body if you are ovulating it can last up to two - five days. So, if you have sex every other day it should work. After you have been ttc for about a year you should go and see your doctor maybe something is wrong. Hope this helps and good luck.

  8. QUESTION:
    Easy ways to conceive?
    We have been trying to get pregnant for a few months now and have been monitoring my ovulation elevating my hips and having sex regularly and haven't yet conceived. Can anybody help us with some useful tips we haven't yet tried? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Basically you need to stop focussing on "making babies". Whether you like it or not, most chaps hate feeling like sperm donors. Instead you need to focus on raw passion, lovemaking, romance and friendship.

      If you focus on "making babies", which is what my partners friends seem to do, pregnancy juct won't happen. It's a bit like people who are single activiely looking for a new partner every second of the day: the more they look, the less likely they are to find someone.

      Plenty of lovemaking (doggy) as much as possible should acheive your aims. Deep and doggy always seems to do the trick. Try sex in all sorts of places (woods, over the car bonnet, in risky places).

  9. QUESTION:
    Are there any easier ways to conceive?
    What are some ways to make it easier to conceive? My period is majorly irregular. To the point where I can go 5 months with out it.

    • ANSWER:
      if you start to feeling very wet (watery/eggwhite CM) you're in your most fertile window so have sex! if you're having more and more creamy Cm then start having sex every other day. sperm stays in your cervix up to 6 days max in ideal conditions. i use fertilityfriend.com. it tracks BBT, cm, ur cervix and everything in between. it'll take 2 cycles to figure it out but at least it won't be a guessing game. it's a great tool! don't have sex every day as that lowers sperm count - every other day is good :) also if you do need to use lubricant make sure it's sperm friendly as most aren't. i use pre-seed :)

    • ANSWER:
      My doctor told me the best way to conceive is to be together every other night and after ward stay on my back for 20 minutes. It allows the sperm time to make the trip deep enough that it doesn't pretty much flush itself out as I stand up. It seems to have worked for us. We only just started after my period ended the end of July and am now 5 weeks pregnant. It took us almost a year with our 1st.
      Good Luck!

    How difficult is it to get pregnant if you can't actually have sex with your partner?
    Just need to know if there is an easy way to conceive if the sperm is handled properly.....if anybody knows please hit me back THANK YOU!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this is going to sound weird, but I've heard of people using turkey basters. I know it sounds gross but it worked for this particular couple. The husband had had a brain disorder that prevented an erection. Everything else worked just fine except that area. That's about all I can tell ya. Take care.

      You would have to see a fertility specialist if there was something wrong with the sperm count or your eggs. If everything is working except the sex part, as in, his lil swimmers are strong, I don't see why a turkey baster wouldn't work. Good luck.

  16. QUESTION:
    Ok, I am trying to conceive and I already have 2 girls and we want a boy. What is the easiest way for me?
    to get pregnant. I have been trying for a couple of months now and I have taken 5 home pregnancy test and they all have said negative . I need someones help with this.

    • ANSWER:
      I have done lots of research on choosing baby's sex. After having a boy I wanted a girl and got one with just a few lifestyle changes. To have a boy eat more sodium and potassium and caffeine. Your partner should have coffee or Coke before sex to give the male sperm a jolt and make them swim faster. You need to eat less or cut out calcium and magnesium. You need to make dietary changes for at least a whole cycle before conceiving. Some women are actually prone to having girls because the PH of their vagina is better suited to female sperm. Changing your diet can help this. Trying right on ovulation is best for having boys so TTC as close to ovulation as possible. Nothing is 100% but it doesn't hurt to try. Good Luck. If you need more help email me.

  18. QUESTION:
    whats an easy way to get pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby since January and have had no luck..what can i do to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  19. QUESTION:
    Fastest and Easiest ways to concieve?
    My husband and I just started trying for a baby at the beginning of this month, we know it varies from person to person as far as how long it takes to conceive but does anyone know any fast and/or easy ways to conceive sooner? Anyone try anything that worked for them, or know anything that would work. We are really excited about having a baby and cant wait to get pregnant. Thanks in advance!
    Is it really helpful and effective to prop your waist up with a pillow for 15-30 minutes right after sex?

    • ANSWER:
      I have PCOS and got pregnant on my very first round of clomid and metformin combo. Even if it doesn't work as fast for you as it did for me, I'd say it's worth a try as clomid is the cheapest and safest (as far as side effects and risk of multiples) treatment.

    Miscarriage and trying to conceive?
    Hi, I had a miscarriage about a month ago with my first pregnancy, I was 10 weeks pregnant when the baby stopped breathing. The nurse told me I can start trying to conceive whenever i feel right, alot of close friends and even family that have had miscarriages in the past with first pregnancys and even miscarriages after already having kids have said they started trying for a baby after about a month and conceived a month later, I just wanted to know is it easier to conceive after having a miscarriage as thats what alot of people have told me? and does anyone have any tips on easiest ways to conceive (e.g. certain diets, sex positions, etc ..... as last time the pregnancy wasnt planned so wasnt really paying attention or trying diferent things to help. Really hope you can help. Thanks xxxxx

    • ANSWER:
      It is easier to conceive after having a baby or having a miscarriage. It's better to wait until you've had your first period after the miscarriage though as your body needs some time to heal first.

      As for trying to conceive, take folic acid, drink a lot of water, exercise lightly, eat a healthy balanced diet and have sex a lot lol!

      With my first pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage it took me a year to conceive, with my second planned baby it took me 2 months and with my current pregnancy it took me 2 months again. I was just having sex everyday to every second day and taking folic acid as well as having a healthy diet.

      Good luck and lots of baby dust!

  25. QUESTION:
    I have a theory about an easy way to get pregnant... any thoughts?
    I stopped my birth control 2 months ago and am trying to conceive, so I started thinking about different ways to up my chances. here's my theory: ovulation happens approximately 14 days after the start of your last period. after ovulation, without fertilization, a woman's body will get ready to start her next period. well the Pill emits progesterone which tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and that is why ovulation/menstruation doesn't occur while on the pill. what if a woman who was trying to conceive didn't take the pill for the first part of her cycle, then immediately after ovulation start taking the pill? would that increase the time period a woman has where she is most fertile since her egg is in the fallopian tube and her body isn't starting to prepare for her next period?

    • ANSWER:
      The short answer is, if it worked there would be a lot of people doing it.
      Read below for things that actually DO increase your chances. The third reference is for people with problem cycles that can be helped through nutritional and lifestyle changes; the last is an explanation of contraceptives.

      Some people DO have inadequate luteal phase progesterone, but that's treated with topical natural progesterone. It will be apparent in a BBT chart.

    Im ready to get pregnant and start my life with my fiancee. We have tried a couple times before but its not happening. Is there and easier way i could do this. Because im 100% sure that i want to have a kid.
    Also i have started my menstrual cycle today, so is there a chance after wards id be able to conceive?
    Could anyone give me some advice

    • ANSWER:
      since you're currently on your menstrual cycle... go pick up an ovulation kit... you can start it right after your cycle ends and it'll help determine the best times to try and get pregnant. plus it's a trick on the pregnancy lol. my husband and i were trying to conceive and we couldn't so we bought an ovulation kit and i was waiting to start my period... it never started so i could use the ovulation kit and i found out i was pregnant before i could even test the kit. best of luck.... i love my little princess.

  28. QUESTION:
    Trying to conceive but my 16 month old is still nursing?
    What is a quick and easy way to get her to stop nursing ? Also I took a home pregnancy test and the second line was very very faint could I still be pregnant if I was I don't think I would be very far along maybe 2 weeks . Should I try taking another test or wait ? I have a bunch of symptoms like tired, nausea, going to the bathroom more , cramps .

    • ANSWER:
      At-home pregnancy tests aren't always accurate.... and when they're wrong it's ALWAYS that the test showed negative and the woman truly is pregnant. Therefore, if it showed any second line at all I'd say you're definitely pregnant.

  29. QUESTION:
    No appetite while pregnant; what's an easy way to still consume healthy calories?
    I'm 20 weeks' pregnant, and just found out at my OB appointment this morning that I'm LOSING weight. My doctor wasn't terribly worried; I've been great about taking prenatal vitamins (even months before we conceived), and the baby is SUPER active lately. She just said to make sure I eat about 6 mini meals per day from this point forward. Thing is, I just haven't been hungry, and nothing really appeals to me. I've been making myself eat (pretty darn healthy meals to boot), but I just fill up pretty fast, or when I sit down to eat, the food suddenly turns me off. I've heard that Ensure is a good way to up the calories, but I also know it contains a lot of sugar, which I really don't want. I know the obvious answer is to "just eat more, and more often," but if the appetite is not there, it's not that easy. Have any of you ladies out there experienced this at this point in your pregnancy? (BTW, this is not related to morning sickness in any way...been there, done that. I'm not nauseated by food; just not interested in it.) Is there something out there that's easily accessible, tasty, and relatively good for me that I can drink without having to consume tons of sugar with it? I'm going to try my hardest to eat larger quantities more often, but I feel that I should also have the option of a supplement of some sort. Any ideas?

    Thanks! :-)

    • ANSWER:
      I was the same way as you. I didn't get my appetite back until I was four weeks away from my due date and by that point there was seriously just no room in there for as much food as I wanted to consume. I also lost weight during my first two trimesters, finally my doctor told me if I didn't start gaining some he'd put me on bed rest and force feed me himself.

      I tried ensure, but honestly the stuff is nasty! Next I went with making my own smoothies, lots of fruit (even a few veggies mixed in so I couldn't taste them as much, but still got the nutrients). I used, whole milk (about a cup) some yoplait yogurt (your choice on plain or flavored), and then I added things like bananas, oranges, grapes, and peaches (not all at the same time, different ones each time). Try to avoid things like raspberries that have a lot of hard little seeds (strawberries are fine though).

      However, even with this, you still need to find a way to get protein into your diet. Even if it just forcing yourself to eat a couple eggs in the morning.

      For me, whenever I sat down to eat, I'd take a bite or two then everything just tasted like cardboard for me. I'd try the smoothie idea if I were you.

      I ended up gaining 15 pounds in the last five weeks of my pregnancy, which made my doctor absurdly happy. Good luck, hon!

  33. QUESTION:
    Easy ways to get my wife pregnant FAST ?
    My wife and I are trying to conceive, I need some advice on how to get her pregnant FAST before I go to college in two months.
    =[
    Please and thank you ?

    • ANSWER:
      Well of course have sex, but don't make it like a stressful habit. Have fun with it, I heard it best to have it in the morning because of the sperm count. But 2 times a day or once when ever should be fine.

      Also stop smoking and drinking (if you are a smoker or drink beer etc) that also counts for your wife. With that try to eat healthy and don't wear tight jeans or pants as it can decrease the sperm count.

      For your wife, she can start to take folic acid. It does increase pregnancy in some ways and she will need to take it anyways when pregnant. Also to eat healthy etc.

      If you really want to also you can buy a ovulation test.

      But as said basically have sex as much as you can without making it a stressy habit as stress can decrease chances of pregnancy.

  34. QUESTION:
    How do I convience my husband?
    I want to have a baby as soon as possible but my husband wants to wait for a long time. How do we meet in the middle on this one? He is so worried about having a baby now that he always puts a condom on before he finishes.

    When we do agree on when to have a baby, what is the easiest/quickest way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Well my husband and I discussed kids before we were married and sort of both changed our minds after we got married and decided to start trying and it really does help if the man is on board and in some cases more keen than you are because it makes for a good relationship

      I would discuss this with him and ask him when he personally feels the right time is AND explain to him that making a baby and conceiving takes longer than just the one time, well in 60-70% of couples it takes anywhere between 3-12 months and up to two years for people with certain fertility issues, this may ease his mind a bit so when you do have sex he will be able to relax and think that its not going to happen immediately especially if you have been with your husband a long time and your body has got used to his sperm as new partners and one night stands experience higher pregnancy rates due to the vaginal canal not having any antibodies built up against the sperm heading toward the cervix and latching on to an egg when its released from the fallopian tube.

      The best time to try for a baby is when you are coming on ovulation, usually one to two days prior and on then day but do not wait until the OPK urine predictor tests say yes as it could be too late and you may have already ovulated

      Count your cycles while your husband is still reluctant so you know when you are likely to ovulate, usually fourteen days before a period and the fourteenth day of your cycle, day one is your first day of your period.

      So start baby making on day 12 and go through until day 17 to be sure and remember sperm can live up to seven days but they usually last in a normal woman's body for 3-4 days
      also try pre seed lubricant to enhance cervical mucus during your fertile times and stay away from regular lubricants like K.Y and Durex as they still contain chemicals that can kill or prevent sperm from moving toward the cervix

      this on-line calculator is a great tool to use

    Easiest way to get pregnant?

  36. QUESTION:
    My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby & I need to know if people have conceived with woman on top?
    We have only been trying for a few months, but this month we actually had sex on the day during the week when I am supposed to be most fertile (although I know not all ovulation calculators are accurate and individuals are different). When we had sex I was on top and I heard that this wasn't the easiest way to conceive as it's harder for the sperm to get to the egg. I don't know if I'm pregnant, my period is due in a week. Please let me know, if you know, if you were able to conceive with the woman on top. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is our favorite way to do it.

  38. QUESTION:
    Miscarriage and conceiving???????
    Hi, I had a miscarriage about a month ago with my first pregnancy, I was 10 weeks pregnant when the baby stopped breathing. The nurse told me I can start trying to conceive whenever i feel right, alot of close friends and even family that have had miscarriages in the past with first pregnancys and even miscarriages after already having kids have said they started trying for a baby after about a month and conceived a month later, I just wanted to know is it easier to conceive after having a miscarriage as thats what alot of people have told me? and does anyone have any tips on easiest ways to conceive (e.g. certain diets, sex positions, etc ..... as last time the pregnancy wasnt planned so wasnt really paying attention or trying diferent things to help. Really hope you can help. Thanks xxxxx

    • ANSWER:
      Well, since I live in Europe it is kind of strange for me that you are being encouraged to start trying right away after the miscarriage and not leting your body take its time to heal. As I have been told, and as I have done when I miscarried 2 times in a row, you should let your body recover from previous pregnancy, no matter how small this pregnancy was. After all, your complete hormonal status has been different for at least one month, and that is a big change which needs to get back to normal, and I wouldn't count on that happening in a matter of one cycle. Some women don't even get their period in a matter of one month, for one thing.
      If I were you, I would wait at least 3 months, meanwhile taking prenatal vitamins to boost up your overall health status, and then try to conceive. No special plan (since it's obvious you don't have problem to conceive), just relax, and let things happen. No pressure, because it affects conceiving and pregnancy in a negative way.
      Good luck!

  43. QUESTION:
    how to conceive a boy?
    We are parents of 3 girl child. Now we want a boy child. Is there any normal nd easy way to achieve this aim?

    • ANSWER:
      Do nothing still you have a 50-50 chances of getting a boy.

      Half the sperms are X and the other half Y. Eggs are all X, so it really depends on which sperm that fertilises the egg. X goes you get X+X a girl, Y goes you get Y+ X, a boy.

      You want a boy, get the Y sperm to go and try weaken the X sperms. Y sperm is lighter so it can swim faster, it prefers alkaline environment. X is more stout, can survive longer in vaginal acid, but it is also heavier thus more sluggish in movement.

      So logically speaking, you must only have sex after you have ovulated.With an ovulated egg waiting, and fresh sperms in the vagina, Y sperms would likely arrive at the egg first as they can swim faster.

      Avoid sex few days before ovulation day as stale sperms are likely to be more of X and less of Y left as they die faster than the X's in acidic environment. You dont want these remaining sperms to fertilise your egg.

      Vaginal fluid is acidic, so to help the Y sperm, try douch the vagina with normal saline to reduce the acidity before sex. Better still if you can douch with a slight alkaline solution like baking soda in water, then the Y sperm would be enhanced. This way you can tilt the odds to your favour 65:35.

      You want better odds go for higher tech methods.

  45. QUESTION:
    Is it true skipping rope exercise can make you unable to conceive/pregnant ?
    well i'm just a teenage who seriously need to workout ! but i found out that skipping a rope can make you unable to get pregnant because of uterus may dislocate from its normal position.. . I was shocked because skipping a rope is just the easiest way for me to lose my weight ! now i'm afraid if i can 't get pregnant in the future ! please tell me !!!!!!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      What a crazy myth! Your uterus is a muscle held in your body surrounded by other organs. The only way to dislocate it is through surgery. Not to mention that it's kind of connected to the parts needed to make a baby, like the vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, exercise can HELP women get pregnant because it keeps the body healthy. So don't stop the exercise if you want to get pregnant some day.

Eating To Get Pregnant

Foods to Avoid While Trying to Get Pregnant
What we eat has an impact on every cell in our bodies and when trying to conceive, our diet can play a pivotal role in helping to speed up the time it takes to get pregnant. There are certain foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant and it is important to be aware of these so you can make informed choices.

<b>Caffeine</b>

Caffeine is not only found in coffee, but is present in black tea, soft drinks such as colas, chocolate and certain painkillers. The effects on the body if you are trying to conceive can be dramatic.

* Drinking just one cup of coffee daily can decrease your fertility and halve chances of conceiving in some women

* Women who consume large amounts of caffeine can find that it can be three times as difficult to conceive within a year than those who carefully watch their intake

* Men can also be affected. The quality and quantity of sperm can be reduced in those who consume caffeine

Meats

It is important to avoid those meats high in saturated fats as these can stimulate estrogen production, particularly if the animals have not been organically raised. Processed meats are also not to be recommended whilst trying to conceive as these can contain undesirable additives
Eggs

Although eggs are a healthy food for women trying to conceive, ensure you eat organically produced eggs as these are unlikely to contain chemicals which can have an effect on fertility

Dairy Products

Some dairy products are on the list of foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant. On the whole, organic produce is fine as this does not contain chemicals and hormones which are generally used to increase production. Although organic yogurt is generally beneficial, some fruit ones have a high proportion of sugar and these should be avoided

Alcohol

Both partners should stop drinking alcohol when trying to conceive. It can effect the good working of the liver, which eliminates excess toxins and hormones and can affect sperm quality and quantity.

Naturally, knowing which foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant is only one half of the story, as it is just as important to know which foods you should be eating to ensure optimum health.

If you would like to see details of a system which focuses on all aspects of fertility, including diet, to give you the baby you so want, please visit How To Become Pregnant Quickly. This guaranteed system will get you on the right track, advising you which foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant as well as which should be included. Very often some couples still do not conceive after several months of trying without help and rather than leaving matters completely to chance, it makes sense to implement a tried and tested method which is guaranteed to work.

Easiest Way To Get Pregnant Fast

The Fastest and Easiest Way to Get Pregnant - Tips on Easiest Way to Get Pregnant Fast
To conceive a child, a life in your body, is a natural process. And just like any other natural process, it takes time, patience and happens on its own. Couples, who are trying for getting pregnant, can however take certain steps, besides having intercourse, to ensure that conception happens faster and easily. So, for all those men and women out there, who want to know, "what is the easiest way to get pregnant?", here are some useful pregnancy tips...

Tips on Easiest Way to Get Pregnant Fast

Sex on Every Alternate Day...
Although, having sex when the woman is ovulating is supposed to be the best way to get pregnant, however, having regular enjoyable sex, on every alternate day, can increase your chances of conceiving. Researches show that when a woman has orgasm during sex, it is much more likely that she will conceive. For a man, experiencing orgasm during sex means more sperms, which in itself is favorable for conception.

A Good Diet...
For a woman to carry on the whole pregnancy and to have a safe delivery, having a healthy body is a must. So, one of the easy ways to get pregnant is to eat a balanced diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables in it. Including foods rich in zinc such as baked beans with pork, nuts, fortified breakfast cereals, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas and boiled spinach, is especially good while conceiving as zinc is needed for the DNA to function properly, which is the building block of cells. Folic acid is another of the essentials in diet as it helps in preventing any possible birth defects.
Intercourse While Ovulating...
Although, regular sex is recommended to couples so that they can enjoy the activity, still the fastest and easiest way to get pregnant is to have intercourse around two to three days prior to when you start ovulating. Ovulation begins in a woman, every fourteen days prior to the day when her periods start. So, if you have a twenty eight day cycle, you will start ovulating on the fourteenth day, if you count the first day of your periods as day one. To accurately arrive at the day when you ovulate every month, it is recommended that you buy an ovulation kit.

A Stress Free Life...
In order to conceive, it is important that your and your partner's mind is calm and without any kind of stress. Being stress free will improve your relationship and in turn improve your sex life! This will certainly help you in getting pregnant faster! So, undertake mind relaxing activities such as yoga and meditation on a regular basis, to keep yourself and your partner rejuvenated.

Say No to Unhealthy Lifestyle...
When you are planning for a baby, stay away from smoking or drinking or taking any kind of drugs. Researches show that taking tobacco can bring about changes in the cervical mucus which can make it difficult for the sperms to reach the eggs. So, say no to cigarettes. You may read more on how to get pregnant easily. Also, exercise on an everyday basis to maintain a healthy body.

These are some of the easiest way to get pregnant fast. For couples, who are unable to conceive in spite of following the above given recommendations, getting a medical examination done, to rule out infertility is recommended. Sometimes, the woman might be suffering from some health conditions such as PCOS i.e. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which prevents her from getting pregnant or even if she gets pregnant, she might suffer from a miscarriage due to them. You may read more on PCOS and pregnancy. In such a scenario, the easiest way to get pregnant with PCOS or any such health condition is to consult a doctor for its treatment and only when its treated, look forward to conceiving and having a baby.

  4. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant?
    I'm really trying to get pregnant, and I think I am ready for the baby. I am trying to find the simplest, fastest, and easiest way to get pregnant. Whens the right time? What's the best position? What else do I need to do?

    • ANSWER:
      Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you're looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you've already ovulated.

      You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become cramy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That's your optimal time to have sex.

      Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

      YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

      HOpe this helps!

  12. QUESTION:
    Any easy fast ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to have a baby and have been trying for over a year ; any easy ways?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually if its been a year and couples still haven't conceived, they'll go visit a fertility doctor to make sure his sperm count is ok (high enough) and that there's nothing wrong w/your uterus or eggs. Easiest way for me, my pregnancy was planned and I had been on birth control pills for 7 years and was my 1st and only child so far. I tracked my period and used an online ovulation calendar that told me when my fertile days were and just made sure I had sex on those days. I stopped my pills in October. I ended up getting my regular period in November and was pregnant got pregnant in December.

    • ANSWER:
      I think the best way to get pregnant not using any herbs/supplements or fertility medications is to simply watch your Cervical Mucus and chart your temperature if thats something you want to do. I don't temp but I do watch my CM, when it gets to be like egg whites your ovulating. Just to be sure I mark on a calender my first cycle day which is the day of your first period, then when period is gone just to be safe I have sex on Cycle Day 10, 13, 15, 17, 19. That covers mostly all your bases! Then wait 2 weeks and you can test...or wait for period to come and if it doesn't then test!

      Hope that helps!

  18. QUESTION:
    i want to get pregnant fast & easy any1 have a great way of concieving this way thanx all?

    • ANSWER:
      Well, you need to know when you ovulate. If you've been tracking your menstrual cycle then you'll have a good idea. Day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your period. If your cycle is consisent and, let's say, 30 days then you should ovulate around day 16 (14 days before your next period). Now that you know your ovulation date, you should know that sperm can last up to five days in your uterus. Thus, your best time to have sex would be days 11-16.

  19. QUESTION:
    an alternative to getting pregnant easier and faster ?
    Ladies, what options are there to get pregnant faster ? we are having problems , but the Doctor said im fine.... we want a cheaper and easy fast way. are there any pills out there ?

    thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Go to your local pharmacy & purchase a "Basil Thermometer". It comes with instructions but I will tell you anyway. Every morning (for a week straight) take your temperature first thing when you wake up in the morning. I'm talking about the minute you realize you're still alive. There is a tracking sheet that comes with this particular thermometer, & every time you take your temp, write it on the tracking sheet. It's like a graph. On the day your temperature is the highest, that is the day you will get pregnant. So tell you husband (I hope) to get in there & do his thing RIGHT THEN because you will conceive.

  20. QUESTION:
    What are some ways to get pregnant fast? just curious?
    I want to know some methods to get pregnant easier and fast or when is a good time during ovulation to get pregnant. just curious

    • ANSWER:
      no it is not what the firs girl said about 14 days cause some women like me have long cycles i hav 34 days not the 28 days the whole 14 day theory is based on a perfect 28 day cycle that actually vou.lated 14 days before their period but there are so many other women that ovulate 20 days before thier cycle and some at 10 so a certain day does not matter what so ever. what you need to look at is any time you have cervical mucus that is watery or like egg whites that strech alot between your fingers you need to ahve sex that is usually when you are fertile. if it is all dry sticky or creamy then you are most lieky not fertile. usually with in 24 hours of the time that you last notice fertile cervical mucus is when you ovulated. and the best chances are 2 days before and the day of ovulation. some say 4-5 days before tust that is is the sperm are all healthy and strong and can survive that long. and some say the day after that is only if he has super quick swimmers it usually takes anbout 24 hours or so for them to swim where they need to go so that would p[ut them getting there 2 days after and the egg is only good for 24 hours at most

  21. QUESTION:
    whats a faster and easier way to get pregnant?
    what are some helpful tips to get pregnant quicker ?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi, it took me 3 years to conceive.

      But this is how I believe I got pregers...
      Try to know when you are ovulating,
      if you dont then you should make love every 3 days
      because the sperm lives for about 3 days on average inside you...
      Put a plow or two under you buttox, while making love
      (This causes for deeper penetration)
      After making love-
      keep the pillows under, and raise your legs and feet in the air and pretend you are riding a bicycle (do this for about 5 min or so...)
      I know it sounds silly but it will help... seriously
      the muscle movements, along with gravity helps the sperm to get to your eggs... it will defiantly make you and your partner laugh...

      I did this along with taking prenatal Vit. (otc) and folic acid and I got preggers ater 3 years, I think this was the key to having my baby

      Hope this helps!

  22. QUESTION:
    yes i know i can get pregnant by having sex but i mean the easiest way or tha fastest way to concieve?

    • ANSWER:
      Here are some things you can do to help your baby-making efforts:

      - Chart your Basal Temp. to determine when you ovulate.
      - Pay attention to your CM (cervical mucus) to help determine fertile days.
      - Use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK)
      - Have sex every day during your fertile days
      - Use an online ovulation calculator to get an estimate of your fertile days (this is not as accurate as charting temps and CM but its a great starting point). http://www.parenthood.com/pregovulate.php I like this one because it gives you a great break down of your cycle.

      Hope that helps! Best of luck and congrats!

  23. QUESTION:
    Easy ways to get my wife pregnant FAST ?
    My wife and I are trying to conceive, I need some advice on how to get her pregnant FAST before I go to college in two months.
    =[
    Please and thank you ?

    • ANSWER:
      Well of course have sex, but don't make it like a stressful habit. Have fun with it, I heard it best to have it in the morning because of the sperm count. But 2 times a day or once when ever should be fine.

      Also stop smoking and drinking (if you are a smoker or drink beer etc) that also counts for your wife. With that try to eat healthy and don't wear tight jeans or pants as it can decrease the sperm count.

      For your wife, she can start to take folic acid. It does increase pregnancy in some ways and she will need to take it anyways when pregnant. Also to eat healthy etc.

      If you really want to also you can buy a ovulation test.

      But as said basically have sex as much as you can without making it a stressy habit as stress can decrease chances of pregnancy.

  24. QUESTION:
    how do i get pregnant fast?
    I've reached the point in my life where I want a baby, im financially stable and im ready. I want to do this now, even if it means I raise it alone for a while. I have a few casual partners, none of which I want to spend my life with, but I would not mind having their baby. I want to become pregnant, but I don't want them to know. What is the easiest and fastest way to get pregnant, without the guy trying or knowing? I've thought this over and I want to do it like this. Please only serious answers, please don't judge.

    P.s. they all want to use condoms, so factor that in there please.

    • ANSWER:
      Please, do not try to have a baby without the man knowing. That's not right for the man, or the child. PLEASE.

      And wanting a child by these means is NOT "ready". You need to mature a great deal first. Many people have children too soon, and unplanned. Thankfully you haven't had to deal with that. But having a child alone is something that too many people struggle with already. And not telling a man that he has a child is WRONG. Also, intentionally bringing a child into this world KNOWING that the father won't be involved is immoral.

      Again...PLEASE don't do this.

  25. QUESTION:
    what is the easiest way to get pregnant?
    i ask this because i am trying to find a way to get pregnant and its seem like it ain't working. My partner and me are both trying to figure this out i know everything but it just ain't working okay we had sex like every otha day since last week and i still came on my cycle is this because it was already near my cycle time or is it because i ain't pregnant at all and another question if i am still pregnant don't you usually go off faster or something like that and then can't i try after i come off my cycle so that way by next month i will be pregnant

    • ANSWER:
      My sister in law and her husband wanted a child real bad also. They tried everything amd he never worked. She went to her Dr. and he said to relax when her body was ready it would happen, that there was nothing wrong with either of them.
      They had sex evey night, relaxed more and did not worry about having a baby 24/7. After a year she got pregnant and every two years after that, she now has three teenagers,.
      Her daughter just got married about a month ago, they where planing on waiting a year before having a baby, duhhhhhhh I don't think so, she is expecting in 7 months.
      So it all depends on attitude and how much stress you are under and your mental state. Be patience it will happen, don't be in sure a rush.....

    What is the easiest way to get rid of love handles fast?
    I am 16 years old, but when I put of jeans my love handles give me an awful muffin top, which from the right angle makes me look pregnant.
    I have stopped drinking soda and eating sugary foods. I have also taken to walking 45-60 minutes a day and doing sit ups, push ups, isolations and other work outs similar to that.
    What else can I do to get rid of my love handles fast?

    • ANSWER:

  28. QUESTION:
    Im trying to get pregnant to surprise my hubby... are there any easier ways to get pregnant faster?
    We have sex around 3-4 times a week, but I want to surprise him. I lied to him and said I'm planning on having kids, but I know he wants some and I do too. Are there any easier methods in getting pregnant? I don't really let him ejaculate in me... just a little bit. I've been trying for 2 months already.

    • ANSWER:
      if you don't let him ejaculate in you, your chances decrease. does he know when you're ovulating? if not there is no need to be that careful at ovulation time, since he doesn't know when you're ovulating. since you both want children though, why don't you just go ahead and try for one, it will be a surprise either way.

    what is a fast and easy way to lose belly fat?
    I am a 20 year old female who weighs about 135lbs. I am 5'8 and I carry all my weight in my stomach! I seriously look like I am pregnant!! My mother tells me that this runs in her side of the family with the females. BUT I am getting married in June and I want to get rid of as much of it as I can, Im getting tired of it...so I wanted to know if anyone knows of good exercises to help with my problem!!

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds to me like you aren't too much overweight. Maybe you need to strengthen your stomach muscles. Hold it in and stand straight as often as you can remember. Those ab strengthening exercises may help. It won't be easy. Belly fat will probably be the last to go because it was the first to grow. Without seeing you it is hard to tell. Some people are like bulldogs and some like greyhounds. You can't help that, but you can do the best you can. Bulldogs sometimes win best of show.

  35. QUESTION:
    Easy way to get prego!?
    Is there a certain position that's the easiest way to get pregnant? Easy and Fast?! hehe

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  36. QUESTION:
    Could I get pregnant easier if my bf has a big penis?
    My bf and I want to have a baby. We have always used condoms but we are going to stop using them so we can get pregnant. He has a big penis and it reaches my cervix, so will I get pregnant easier/faster if he ejaculates all the way in there right near the cervix like that?
    Im 19 and he is 26

    dont tell me anything about beeing too young, or to wait, or any of that, we're ready!

    • ANSWER:
      Does not matter on the size hon.It's if his sperm is strong and if you are ovulating.A guy with a small penis can get a girl pregnant faster if she is ovulating and his sperm count is high and strong that a guy with a huge penis with low sperm count and no egg waiting.All factors has to be there.

  37. QUESTION:
    Easiest way to get my pregnant Vietnamese girlfriend to the UK?
    I am from the UK, i met a vietnamese girl here on my travels, i have known her for 5 weeks now and we are in love. She has become unexpectedly pregnant, we just took the test twice and got a double positive. I know this is all very very fast but i have to do the right thing and look after this girl and our baby.

    Before she even got pregnant we arranged for a meeting in Hanoi with the UK embassy to get her a 6 month UK Tourist Visa. The thing is Vietnam is notorius for its red tape and beaurocratic system. I want to get her to the UK as soon as possible and don't want it to drag on for months and months (we think she is 2 or 3 weeks pregnant)

    Please please please, anyone who knows the best way to get her to the UK please help me. I am prepared to get her a UK visa, to get married here in Vietnam( i hear this can take many months) or perhaps even travel to a third country such as Thailand to avoid the bullshit and get married there, bribe whoever it takes - i just need to get her back home in the UK for me to take care of her and have our baby born there.

    I do not know if i should tell the embassy in Hanoi about her pregnancy and ask them for their advice. I am thinking if we tell them this then it will just complicate the Visa process. I want to get her to the UK within 1 month if there is any possible way

    Many thanks.
    I forgot to say that my intention with the UK tourist visa is to avoid the Vietnamese marriage system and just do it in the UK.
    I am 28, she is 24.
    Luddite - Thank you for the information. Are you 100% sure we cannot marry on a tourist visa? did you try/look into the same with you husband?

    I do not pretend to be an expert on immigration law, i did not intend to get into such a situation. When i am home and have found another job (i am backpacking and quit my job) and i have found a flat, i will be in a situation to support her.

    • ANSWER:
      Your only option is marriage and after only five weeks, you are going to have a bit of a struggle convincing UK BA that this is a genuine relationship.

      You cannot marry on a visitors visa. It is an express condition of the visitors visa that you do not intend to come to the UK to get married. An ordinary visitors visa prevents her working, receiving NHS care other than for emergencies and she will get six months leave to enter the UK at most in a 12 month period provided she can prove that she has the funds to support herself for that period of time.

      There is a marriage visitors visa which allows you to come to the UK to get married if you don't intend to settle in the UK. She could stay six months and would not be allowed to return within six months on another visitor visa. She could not work on this visa and would not be entitled to any NHS care for her pregnancy or any subsequent birth.
      http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visitingtheuk/gettingmarried/permissiontomarryinUK/

      You could marry her outside the UK, but she cannot travel to the UK without a spouse visa. She would be extremely unlikely to get a visitors visa after marrying you as the risk of her overstaying would be judged to be very high.

      You need to both be over 21, have met and have adequate accommodation in the UK and be able to support yourselves without recource to public funds i.e. benefits. From what you say, your main hurdle will be persuading UK BA that this is a genuine, albeit, rather hurried marriage. Spouse visas are currently taking about 60 days to process in Ho Chi Minh and 30 - 90 days, but could be shorter, in Hanoi. Marrying in Thailand would not help with the UKBA visa as she must apply from her home country unless she is legally resident in another country.

      She could apply for a Fiance visa to join you in the UK to get married and settle here. Based on the shortness of the relationship, I would consider this a risky route to take.

      The B1/B3 Visa is the answer. By law anyone coming to the US is deemed to be wanting to emigrate. Therefore. they have to prove that they have strong ties to their country. Bank accounts, property etc. Also, good idea to have US resident write letter and say will be responsible for them while here. Also a good idea to have tickets purchased before going to embassy interview.

    • ANSWER:
      Unfortunately it doesn't always happen immediately. One thing you can do is to make sure that you have an orgasm at the same time he ejaculates or soon after. The muscle contractions pull the sperm up into the uterus. Also, you could lay with your legs up in the air for 15 minutes after he ejaculates. Also go to the store and buy an ovulation predictor and make sure you have sex right when you are ovulating. Buy a book on how to increase the odds of getting pregnant for more ideas. Usually doctors won't do any kind of fertility treatments unless you've been trying for more than a year unsuccessfully. GOOD LUCK

      You have to understand that it can take you at least 6 months to conceive and that is for people with no fertility issues.

      Good luck and lots of baby dust!!

Easiest Ways To Get Pregnant

Unable to Get Pregnant - an Insight
Why is it so seemingly simple for some couples to conceive, but yet for others, so frustratingly hard to get pregnant? While this question can be answered some of the time for some couples, at many other times, the answer to this agonizingly difficult question eludes us.

If after a year of actively trying to conceive (regular, unprotected sexual intercourse) you are still unable to get pregnant, it's time to go see your doctor before you jump onto the infertility bandwagon. Just because it seems as though you can't get pregnent, this doesn't mean you are automatically infertile. There could be any number of explanations.

Some couples simply find it hard to get pregnant and need help with conceiving more than other couples, and it's not always easy to pinpoint the reasons. This may be your particular case, as well; if you can't get pregnant, you may just need some help with conceiving.

If your doctor says everything is finewhich is the case in about 10 to 15 percent of couples who are unable to get pregnantthen it's time to take control of your fertility. For the woman who finds it hard to get pregnant, it becomes essential for her to learn about her ovulation and her peak fertile period, and to then concentrate sexual activity during that period. There are other factors affecting fertility too; for example, the older you are, the more likely you will be unable to get pregnant.
There are many other tips for help with conceiving, as well, and you can go online and visit pregnancy and conception websites and forums for additional information. Your doctor can also be a great resource and help with conceiving.

However, there may be underlying conditions in either you or your partner that are affecting your fertility and making it hard to get pregnant, which your doctor will help you to discover during your fertility testing. Some of these conditions include sexually transmitted diseases, history of pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, low sperm count and motility, an eating disorder, abnormalities of the uterus, a chronic disease, among others. Some of these conditions can be treated to boost your chances of conception; others can't.

If you doctor has diagnosed you as a clinically infertile couplewhether there's a medical explanation behind it or notyou still have a number of options if you want a child. First of all, you can keep trying. A number of couples have gone on to conceive a baby (usually by surprise) after hearing confirmation from their doctors that they are in fact unable to get pregnant.

If you have the budget for it, you can also try alternatives if you can't get pregnent on your own, including in-vitro fertilization, surrogacy, using a sperm donor, and adoption. However, most of these options can be expensive, and also all carry with them a certain element of risk.

It's best to conduct some investigative research and ask your doctor a lot of questions before choosing an alternative route when you can't get pregnent.

Being unable to get pregnantas difficult, frustrating, and stressful as it isisn't a sentence to a life without children. It just means that it takes longer and is usually more difficult and expensive to get there.

  2. QUESTION:
    Whats the easiest way to get pregnant, if you have a hormone imbalance?
    I have a hormone imbalance, and would like to know the easiest ways to be come pregnant. I am a adult, I am financially secure, and have a big enough place of my own, if I needed to take care of a child on my own. I would just like the facts, and what you have tried. I feel the maternal clock ticking, as I get older..

    • ANSWER:
      To correct a hormone imbalance and help you ovulate, talk to your doctor and he should prescribe to you one of these:

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) — This fertility drug helps the ovaries release one or more eggs. Clomiphene starts ovulation in about 80 percent of women with PCOS. Women who take clomiphene use blood and urine tests to see if they are ovulating. Measuring body temperature can also tell you if you are ovulating. If the first dose of clomiphene does not start ovulation, your doctor may order a higher dose.

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) with Metformin - Studies show that the insulin-sensitizing drug, metformin, helps clomiphene in producing ovulation.

      Gonadotropin therapy Drugs called gonadotropins (LH and FSH) is a stronger treatment for PCOS-related infertility. FSH is used without LH for women with PCOS. It is given once a day as an injection under the skin for 7 to 10 days. These drugs start ovulation in nearly all women with PCOS. If your doctor prescribes this drug, you will be taught how to give yourself the injection.

      I hope that helps you out :) Good luck hun!

  3. QUESTION:
    What are some Easier ways to get pregnant?
    okay I have regular periods most the time. I have unprotected sex. I am not on the pill got off the shot i think a year ago. i usually get my period on the 16th to the 19th of the month 7 days long. Just really want to know what are some easier ways to get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Do you know your estimated ovulation?? That makes things easier- when you know you're fertile and insemination is optimally timed. So, theoretically speaking you only need to Baby Dance around a particular 5-7 days in the month.
      Use ovulation predictor kits that can be found at the drug stores or pharmacies.
      That is my "easy" tip. Although having your ovulation pinpointed will not guarantee you conception.

  4. QUESTION:
    how is the fastiest and easiest way to get pregnant?
    I am a 20 year old women who is trying to get pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for 5 months to get pregnant and so far nothing has worked.

I am hoping to get pregnant so when I go to my parents in September we can share the joy with my parents. Can anyonw explaine to me the fastiest and easiest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      well there's a website that can help explain the ovulation thing better;

      www.babycenter.com

      go to the trying to conceive...

      but typicaly you can "gauge when you're fertile" by taking the first day of your period and splitting it in half; lets say you are a 30 day person (30 days between periods) take the first day of your period and count to 15 and around that time is your fertile time; but remember not to have sex on a daily basis as then immature sperm that are unable to fertilze an egg are released; try every other to every other 2 days. good luck!!

  5. QUESTION:
    What is the easiest way to get pregnant naturally?
    I and my wife have been married for 8 years. How can I get pregnant naturally and easily?

    • ANSWER:
      Getting pregnant sounds really easy, but it is very complicated in fact.
      You'd better turn to doctors for help or read some books to get more techniques or tips.

      http://www.pregnancytutor.com/pregnant.html
      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

I couldnt wait 2 years trying, there could be some small problem easy to fix and you've been trying so hard for 2 years only to have your heart broken every month when your period comes.

  7. QUESTION:
    What is the quickest/easiest way to get pregnant?
    I got the Depo Provera shot on November 9, 2010 and since the beginning of February 2011 I have been spotting everyday with large amounts of clotting, also my uterus aches often. I have also been having unprotected sex with my husband since getting off the depo shot and have not gotten pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      your body may need time to get it's cycle back to normal. Some women's bodies take a while to get back to a normal cycle after being on birth control. Wait until you are not spotting everyday and are having normal periods every month for at least 2 months, then keep track of when you ovulate and have sex around that time. Good luck!

  8. QUESTION:
    What is the easiest way to get pregnant (apart from the obvious answers)?
    What steps can be taken to ensure you get pregnant when trying for a baby, please dont say have sex, im trying that lol.

    • ANSWER:
      How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

      1. Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  9. QUESTION:
    Are there any moms out there that can tell me easy ways the get pregnant?
    I am wanting to become pregnant. I am going to quit my NuvaRing birth control. I have heard it takes time for users to start producing egs again. I am going to start taking vitamins and eat healthy. I also have an ovulation calendar. Are there any other way that will speed up the process?

    • ANSWER:
      Sweetie I'm in the same boat. My husband and I have been trying for a while now, and it seems almost impossible to us at times, but it will happen if it is God's will. Your best bet is to simply pray. Ask God for your little bundle of joy, and it's most likely to happen. Until then, I'm certain they're things you can do to make your body a more healthy environment for when the little one does come along. My cousin once told me that if you stop, or at least slow down on, your caffeine intake your chances of getting pregnant will increase. I'm not really sure if that's true or not, but that's what i've been told. Anyhow, good luck and God Bless.

  10. QUESTION:
    Which is the easiest way to get pregnant?
    Insemination by clinic or the natural way?

    If you can't get pregnant by insemination, is it still possible to get pregnant the natural way?
    FYI--this is for research.

    • ANSWER:
      I think the natural way would be easiest,cheapest and more fun.
      As for the insemination it can be expensive and not much fun and very stressful.
      If insemination doesnt work you can still fall pregnant the natural way it happened to a friend who had almost given up when it didnt happen through insemination and now has a 3mthold conceived naturally!

      good luck with your reseach!

  11. QUESTION:
    what is the easiest way to get pregnant?
    I have tried using the ovulation prediction thing n it was pretty confusing cuz I spot for like 2 or 3 days before my period starts. So how do you really know when your ovulating? I want to get pregnant asap n need help figuring out how to KNOW when I will get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex with a male.

  12. QUESTION:
    What are some easy ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband been trying for awhile now what can i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Visit your OBGYN. There may be a physical/hormonal reason why you are not getting pregnant. Your husband may also need to be screened.

      Lay on your back after sex (15+ minutes). You may want to prop a pillow under your butt in case the boys aren't good swimmers.

      Chart your basal body temperature (BBT) to determine estimated time of ovulation. You can also get an ovulation microscope (saliva microscope) to verify your time of ovulation. - These methods are cheaper than buying ovulation predictor kits/test strips (OPKs)

      Have sex every day or every other day during your fertile period. This will ensure a fresh batch of semen in your body. Sperm generally live 3-5 days but can last up to 7 days inside a hospitable female environment. Unfortunately the egg will only live 12-24 hours after ovulation (if not fertilized).

      A healthy diet and low impact exercise will increase your chances of conception. Loosing even 10% of your body weight (if you are over weight) can dramatically increase your chances of conception.

      Cut out alcohol/drugs/smoking (if applicable). Start taking over the counter prenatal vitamins or at least take a regular daily vitamin.

      Best of luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    what are some cheap and easy ways to get pregnant?
    Im tryin to have a baby but nothings happening, My period is sometimes irregular and I don't know if that could be a problem. My ex boyfriend has 2 kids and we were together for 3 yrs and I didnt get pregnant. I've been tryin naturally for 4 yrs plz help/.

    • ANSWER:
      If you have been trying for more than 1yr.. it is time to seek fertility help! Try to schedule for a pre-conception health screening where they will do some physical test, blood test and pelvic scan. You may want to include pap smear and HSG (check if fallopain tube is blocked). Find out what is the problem and decide the next step to take rather then trying aimlessly..

      If you want a cheaper way, try TCM - traditional chinese medicine.

  14. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant?
    I'm really trying to get pregnant, and I think I am ready for the baby. I am trying to find the simplest, fastest, and easiest way to get pregnant. Whens the right time? What's the best position? What else do I need to do?

    • ANSWER:
      Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you're looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you've already ovulated.

      You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become cramy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That's your optimal time to have sex.

      Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

      YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

      HOpe this helps!

  15. QUESTION:
    Im trying to get pregnant to surprise my hubby... are there any easier ways to get pregnant faster?
    We have sex around 3-4 times a week, but I want to surprise him. I lied to him and said I'm planning on having kids, but I know he wants some and I do too. Are there any easier methods in getting pregnant? I don't really let him ejaculate in me... just a little bit. I've been trying for 2 months already.

    • ANSWER:
      if you don't let him ejaculate in you, your chances decrease. does he know when you're ovulating? if not there is no need to be that careful at ovulation time, since he doesn't know when you're ovulating. since you both want children though, why don't you just go ahead and try for one, it will be a surprise either way.

    What would be the easiest way to get pregnant after a tubal ligation? Reversal? Invetro?
    I did have a child in 2002 before I had my tubes tied in 2005 and am 28 years old now.

      I would think that having the surgery reversed would be the most economical way, and it also has a higher success rate than in vitro. I also know that in vitro can be very expensive.

  18. QUESTION:
    Any easy fast ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to have a baby and have been trying for over a year ; any easy ways?

    • ANSWER:
      Usually if its been a year and couples still haven't conceived, they'll go visit a fertility doctor to make sure his sperm count is ok (high enough) and that there's nothing wrong w/your uterus or eggs. Easiest way for me, my pregnancy was planned and I had been on birth control pills for 7 years and was my 1st and only child so far. I tracked my period and used an online ovulation calendar that told me when my fertile days were and just made sure I had sex on those days. I stopped my pills in October. I ended up getting my regular period in November and was pregnant got pregnant in December.

  19. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant? Besides the obvious, if you have an irregular cycle.?

    • ANSWER:
      My cycles were irregular so I got the Clear Blue Easy electronic ovulation predictor kit. It was 0 but was worth every penny. I'm now 6 months pregnant. The key is..you need to know exactly when you're ovulating. A kit like this will definitely speed things up for you.

      Also..start taking prenatal vitamins now. Drink lots of water. Stop drinking alcohol and caffeine..and don't smoke. If you're overweight, losing weight can also help.

  20. QUESTION:
    what changes in cervical mucus occur before conception, and whats the easiest way to get pregnant?
    my husband and i are trying to get pregnant, and i had a miscarriage in may, so im a bit concerned. we dont know what to turn to for help, and have already talked to doctors, but id rather have advice from those who have been there

    • ANSWER:
      Your cervical fluid will become abundant and like egg whites when you are fertile. I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been there a couple of times, myself.

      What you'll want to do is get a basal body temp thermometer, take your temperature and check for your mucus every day. Take your temp on waking, before you even get out of bed. Check your fluids whenever you get a chance and chart any changes you may see. When your fluids are like egg white, you're at your fertile time. When your temperature goes up, you have ovulated. If it stays up past the time your period is supposed to start, you are probably pregnant. Good luck!

  21. QUESTION:

  24. QUESTION:
    what is the easiest way to get pregnant after undergoing ovarian cyst removal?

    • ANSWER:
      Avoid becoming stressed about getting pregnant. I had my left ovary removed because the doctor suspected cancer when I was 21. I had one child but wanted another. For to years I couldn't get pregnant.
      I finally resolved myself to being happy with one child, when she was four I signed up for nursing school/college and became pregnant soon after which delayed my educaiton for another three years.
      Also I would say that after surgery, you need to just give your body time to heal.

      Ways To Get Pregnant
      If you have been trying to get pregnant, and it isn't going as smoothly as you had planned, you are probably looking for some new ideas on how to get pregnant. It seems women have spent so much time learning ways not to get pregnant, yet they haven't received any information that they need on the ways to get pregnant. I hope I can help solve that problem...
      Are You Sure You're Not Making One Of These Mistakes?
      You Could Be Reducing Your Chance of Conception By 50%
      If you are trying to become pregnant, you want to be absolutely sure you are not doing something that can reduce your chance of conceiving. I was quite shocked to discover that my friend was doing some things that were spoiling my efforts at getting pregnant.
      Please don't waste another month randomly trying to conceive without the information you need. You can take control to improve your chances of getting pregnant this month.
      Ways To Get Pregnant
      Here's One Of The Ways To Get Pregnant...
      There are many different tips and strategies that can offer you new ideas on ways to get pregnant...I'm going to focus on one in this article.

      Cervical fluid is a very important component when you are trying to get pregnant. For one thing, your cervical fluid (or mucus), changes in texture throughout your monthly cycle, and this is very important to follow. When the cervical fluid begins to turn clear and very stretchy--similar to raw eggwhites--this is a sign that you are about to ovulate very soon. What does that mean?? It means you better get to the "baby dance" in a hurry. You should be timing intercourse for several days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. But more about that later--back to the cervical fluid..

      Sperm can live for a pretty long time--possibly as long as six days if the environment is right. What that means is that if you have intercourse as many as 5 or 6 days before you ovulate, you can still get pregnant as long as the sperm are staying alive inside you. And how do they do that? With good quality cervical fluid, of course! By the way, the egg only lives 12-24 hours after it is released, so it really is important to have the sperm ready and waiting when you actually ovulate.

      So how do you ensure that you have good quality cervical fluid? Well, since you're looking for ways to get pregnant, you might need some tips on improving your cervical fluid. There are several.

      Drink water--lot's of it. At least 8 glasses a day can do wonders in improving your cervical fluid.

      Eat baby carrots--lot's of them too. Because of the vitamin A in the baby carrots (beta carotene), it has been known to really improve the amount and quality of your cervical fluid.

      Take plain Robitussin. The kind with nothing extra in it, ie. no extra letters on the box, such as DM. Just plain Robitussin. The same way that it loosens up your mucus when you have a cough, it also thins the mucus in other parts of your body.

      OK, if you do those three things, you should have more than adequate cervical fluid which should keep those little swimmers alive for days.

  28. QUESTION:
    What is the fastest easiest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Chart your cycle, in particular, your basal body temperature. There's an explanation and blank chart on this government web site http://www.4women.gov/pregnancy/tools/ . You might also buy an ovulation predictor kit at the drug store - or cheaper (in bulk) from http://www.craigmedical.com/ . For the best odds of getting pregnant, you want to time your sexual activity to just before you ovulate. Good luck.

  29. QUESTION:
    The easiest way to get pregnant?
    My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby, any tips on how to get pregnant fast?

    • ANSWER:

  30. QUESTION:
    What are some ways of getting pregnant (intentionally) after having a tubal?
    Without having the tubal reversed. What is the easiest way? Can you just take the sperm to the Doc's office as in simple procedure an have it incerted? How does it live until the appt time?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they can't just insert sperm because, since your fallopian tubes are blocked, there will be no egg there to meet it.

      You have two choices:

      You can have in vitro fertilization, where they stimulate your ovaries to produce lots of eggs, harvest them, mix them with sperm in the lab, pick the healthiest resulting embryo(s), and put them back in your uterus where, hopefully, they implant.

      Or you can have a tubal ligation reversal, in which case you might be able to get pregnant through regular ol' sex.

      As for the shelf life of sperm, you need to use it pretty quickly. Often a sample is obtained just before it's mixed with eggs. You can't usually get a sample at home and then bring it to the doctor's office.

  31. QUESTION:

I can't starve myself it could hurt my baby plus when I get hungry i start getting nasuase, is it twins or why am I gaining weight so quickly I don't over eat, and I always have light dinners, I have gained 6 lbs already.

    • ANSWER:

  35. QUESTION:
    What's are some of the easiest and surest ways to get pregnant??

    • ANSWER:
      There's always the old-fashioned way...intercourse. If at first you don't succeed...try, try again!

  36. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant? Always have unprotected sex with my boyfriend, don't understand

    • ANSWER:
      An ovulation predictor would tell you the best time to have sex with the highest chance of getting pregnant. Also keep in mind that a woman with a normal cycle will ovulate about 15 days after her missed period and sperm lives 2-3 days inside a women so a couple days either side of that to have sex would increase your chance. Also, get a medical examination. Certain health conditions can prevent a woman from getting pregnant (like diabete and thyroid disease).

      Although I would strongly recommend being positive you really want a baby before conceiving. I see he is your boyfriend, are you sure you want to be tied to him for the rest of you life (just a thought since there is no permanet tie between the two of you -which would be marriage). It is really important to think what is best for the baby, not what we ourselves want. Maybe, it could be meant that you not have a child right now. I was in this situation, and didn't get pregnant with my boyfriend and I am so glad now that I didn't! I now have a husband and I'm so glad he is the father of my kids, rather than my boyfriend I had back then. (Just a thought -once you have a baby there is no turning back.) -But, this might not even be your situation, if not just disregard. I just don't want you to feel like you made a mistake later either. Good luck!

  37. QUESTION:
    Is it possible for this to happen after miscarriage?
    I miscarried about a week ago I was 5 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if pre cum would get me pregnant easier sence i miscarried , people have told me that pre cum isnt that strong to get pregnant by ... and people have also told me that i can get pregnant way easier now sence i just miscarried.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can get pregnant easier if you miscarried. But be careful because your body may not be ready to get pregnant again and its a higher chance you'll miscarry again. Talk to your doctor before trying to get pregnant again to make sure its safe.

  38. QUESTION:

    and don't say sex I ALREADY KNOW THAT haha

    • ANSWER:

  40. QUESTION:
    what is the best and easiest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Start counting... day one is the first day of full bleeding of the menstrual period... Day 8 - 10, no sex. Day 11, 13, 15, 17 - have sex as often as you want, but only on those days.

      Also, day 8, start taking guaifinesin syrup or tablets - labelled "expectorant" in the cough & cold medicine aisle of your drug or grocery store.

      Take a dose 3 times daily until day 17.

      Don't smoke, as cigarettes really foul up a woman's hormones, can prevent implantation, and can also cause miscarriage as well as low birthweight for a baby. It's just bad news!!

      Eat well.

      Don't exercise to excess.

      Keep your weight normal - a quick gain or loss can throw off a woman's cycle.

      Good luck!

  43. QUESTION:
    What is the easiest way to get pregnant no drugs?

    ANY HOME REMEDIES, VITAMINS ETC

    • ANSWER:
      Okay, to get pregnant you have to have intercourse durring or near ovulation. You ovulate 2 weeks after your menstration cycle begins. In other words, the day your period starts is day 1. 14 days later you should ovulate.

      Healthy sperm can live between 5-7 days in a woman's body, depending on the health of the woman, the acidity of the mucus and body temperature.

      Vaginal mucus can help or hinder sperm travel. Near ovulation, the mucus is usually clear (in colour) and "stringy." After ovulation the mucus is usually whitish and more tacky (this means it is acidic, for reasons I won't get into at this time). Clear, stringy mucus is most condusive to fertilization.

      Now, there are other factors to keep in mind: only 1 in 4 pregnancies are successful in these conditions. In other words, after fertilization the embryo has to embed itself to the uterine wall, which only happens a quarter of the time. If it does not embed, the embryo will die and will be flushed out in your next menstral cycle (you may not even know you're pregnant). So you simply have to keep trying. Have sex as often as you can near your ovulation time.

      To help increase your chances of fertilization and successful pregnancy, eat healthy, limit or cease alcohol, cigarette and drug use. Take prenatal suppliments and vitamines such as folic acid.

      Having your partner obstain from sexual activity resulting in ejaculation until you are ovulating can also increase your chances. His ejaculate will have a higher concentration of sperm.

Easy Ways To Get Pregnant

Easy Ways To Get Pregnant One thing that many women want to know with regards to pregnancy is what are some easy ways to get pregnant. The first would be to find out when is the best time to conceive. Take note that it is not Christmas time nor is it on Valentine's Day. You must have some basic skills in mathematics in order to calculate your ovulation period. Now another question arises: how can this crucial time be calculated? To make things simpler, you could just go get an ovulation calculator to speed up these calculations because this is actually one of the easiest ways to get pregnant faster.

It is important to have some knowledge about your body and how it functions in order to obtain the probable dates of ovulation. The post ovulation period or the luteal phase is the period between ovulation and the first day of your menstrual cycle. This period consists of fourteen days and is basically the same for most women. After fourteen days, your period will start. The next thing you should do is find the date for your next period. You will then be able to obtain the ovulation period by adding around twelve to sixteen days from the start of your new period. Generally, women who have a cycle of twenty-eight days ovulate on the fourteenth day.

The second way to get pregnant would be to check and take note of the basal body temperature (BBT) regularly so you can determine when you are most fertile. This method involves recording the vaginal temperature every morning with the use of a BBT thermometer which is equipped with a fine calibration. The thermometer displays a higher temperature on the day of ovulation compared to that of the other days. The egg begins to develop at the end of the menstrual cycle and maximum growth occurs eight to twelve days after; thus the odds of being able to conceive is at its highest when the woman will have intercourse on the eighth, tenth, and twelfth day. This is the most effective time to get pregnant because the egg is only viable for a period of 12 to 16 hours.

Now it's time to shift the focus from the woman on to the man. If the couple has intercourse too frequently, it is highly likely that the sperm count would be lesser than what is required for conception. The rate of sperm motility may also be hampered because of this. On the other hand, it is also not good if the couple rarely engages in sexual intercourse, because chances are the sperm that will be released may be stale and old, making it lacking in virility. According to the opinion of many fertility experts, the couple should have intercourse only two times a week in order to increase the chances of conception. Take note that the female ovum disintegrates after only a very short period while the male sperm can survive for around 2 to 5 days within the vaginal canal. It is thus recommended that couples have intercourse a couple of days prior to the date of ovulation so that the sperm will be able to get plenty of opportunities to reach the egg.

It is important to remember that the above mentioned ways to get pregnant might not be enough for you to be able to conceive successfully. If you're having some problems in getting pregnant, then it may be wise to try some holistic remedies that can help you find out the actual cause as to why you are unable to conceive. You can then attempt some all-natural remedies, which can range from Chinese medications, to acupuncture, from exercise, to making lifestyle changes in order to have a healthier and more balanced diet to treat such infertility. Unlike the age-old, conventional methods which have high rates of failure, the holistic ways to get pregnant can almost always give you your desired results without any harmful side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Are there any moms out there that can tell me easy ways the get pregnant?
    I am wanting to become pregnant. I am going to quit my NuvaRing birth control. I have heard it takes time for users to start producing egs again. I am going to start taking vitamins and eat healthy. I also have an ovulation calendar. Are there any other way that will speed up the process?

    • ANSWER:
      Sweetie I'm in the same boat. My husband and I have been trying for a while now, and it seems almost impossible to us at times, but it will happen if it is God's will. Your best bet is to simply pray. Ask God for your little bundle of joy, and it's most likely to happen. Until then, I'm certain they're things you can do to make your body a more healthy environment for when the little one does come along. My cousin once told me that if you stop, or at least slow down on, your caffeine intake your chances of getting pregnant will increase. I'm not really sure if that's true or not, but that's what i've been told. Anyhow, good luck and God Bless.

  3. QUESTION:
    What are some easy ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband been trying for awhile now what can i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Visit your OBGYN. There may be a physical/hormonal reason why you are not getting pregnant. Your husband may also need to be screened.

      Lay on your back after sex (15+ minutes). You may want to prop a pillow under your butt in case the boys aren't good swimmers.

      Chart your basal body temperature (BBT) to determine estimated time of ovulation. You can also get an ovulation microscope (saliva microscope) to verify your time of ovulation. - These methods are cheaper than buying ovulation predictor kits/test strips (OPKs)

      Have sex every day or every other day during your fertile period. This will ensure a fresh batch of semen in your body. Sperm generally live 3-5 days but can last up to 7 days inside a hospitable female environment. Unfortunately the egg will only live 12-24 hours after ovulation (if not fertilized).

      A healthy diet and low impact exercise will increase your chances of conception. Loosing even 10% of your body weight (if you are over weight) can dramatically increase your chances of conception.

      Cut out alcohol/drugs/smoking (if applicable). Start taking over the counter prenatal vitamins or at least take a regular daily vitamin.

      Best of luck!

    • ANSWER:
      If you have been trying for more than 1yr.. it is time to seek fertility help! Try to schedule for a pre-conception health screening where they will do some physical test, blood test and pelvic scan. You may want to include pap smear and HSG (check if fallopain tube is blocked). Find out what is the problem and decide the next step to take rather then trying aimlessly..

Easiest way for me, my pregnancy was planned and I had been on birth control pills for 7 years and was my 1st and only child so far. I tracked my period and used an online ovulation calendar that told me when my fertile days were and just made sure I had sex on those days. I stopped my pills in October. I ended up getting my regular period in November and was pregnant got pregnant in December.

      Ways To Get Pregnant
      If you have been trying to get pregnant, and it isn't going as smoothly as you had planned, you are probably looking for some new ideas on how to get pregnant. It seems women have spent so much time learning ways not to get pregnant, yet they haven't received any information that they need on the ways to get pregnant. I hope I can help solve that problem...
      Are You Sure You're Not Making One Of These Mistakes?
      You Could Be Reducing Your Chance of Conception By 50%
      If you are trying to become pregnant, you want to be absolutely sure you are not doing something that can reduce your chance of conceiving. I was quite shocked to discover that my friend was doing some things that were spoiling my efforts at getting pregnant.
      Please don't waste another month randomly trying to conceive without the information you need. You can take control to improve your chances of getting pregnant this month.
      Ways To Get Pregnant
      Here's One Of The Ways To Get Pregnant...
      There are many different tips and strategies that can offer you new ideas on ways to get pregnant...I'm going to focus on one in this article.

      Cervical fluid is a very important component when you are trying to get pregnant. For one thing, your cervical fluid (or mucus), changes in texture throughout your monthly cycle, and this is very important to follow. When the cervical fluid begins to turn clear and very stretchy--similar to raw eggwhites--this is a sign that you are about to ovulate very soon. What does that mean?? It means you better get to the "baby dance" in a hurry. You should be timing intercourse for several days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. But more about that later--back to the cervical fluid..

      Sperm can live for a pretty long time--possibly as long as six days if the environment is right. What that means is that if you have intercourse as many as 5 or 6 days before you ovulate, you can still get pregnant as long as the sperm are staying alive inside you. And how do they do that? With good quality cervical fluid, of course! By the way, the egg only lives 12-24 hours after it is released, so it really is important to have the sperm ready and waiting when you actually ovulate.

      So how do you ensure that you have good quality cervical fluid? Well, since you're looking for ways to get pregnant, you might need some tips on improving your cervical fluid. There are several.

      Drink water--lot's of it. At least 8 glasses a day can do wonders in improving your cervical fluid.

      Eat baby carrots--lot's of them too. Because of the vitamin A in the baby carrots (beta carotene), it has been known to really improve the amount and quality of your cervical fluid.

      Take plain Robitussin. The kind with nothing extra in it, ie. no extra letters on the box, such as DM. Just plain Robitussin. The same way that it loosens up your mucus when you have a cough, it also thins the mucus in other parts of your body.

      OK, if you do those three things, you should have more than adequate cervical fluid which should keep those little swimmers alive for days.

    any easy ways to get pregnant?
    me and my husband have been trying to have a baby for a year now and every time we try the tests always come up the same negative is there any easy way or advice to help us have a baby??? plz help

    • ANSWER:
      It can take normal, healthy couples 6 months up to 5 years to conceive, each month there is only a 25% chance of conceiving.

      The best things to do to increase your chances of conceiving are:

      * monitor your cycle - know when you ovulate. Ovulation kits are available if you are unsure. The highest chance of pregnancy is sex the 4 days prior to your ovulation day to ensure sperm is waiting in your tubes for when the egg is released. Sperm survives 3-7 days inside a woman, depending on the sperms health, on average usually 5 days survival rate. Not every woman has a textbook 28 day cycle and ovulate day 14. Some woman have a 25-35 day cycle and ovulate between day 10- day 25. Make sure you know your own individual cycle.

      * if you are having trouble pin pointing your ovulation, sex every 2nd day from the day of your last period right up until the day your next period is due. This ensures there is a constant supply of sperm in your tubes the whole cycle, ready to pounce on your egg when released and you don't have to count days or try to guess ovulation day.

      * lay with your hips slightly raised after sex for 10-20mins, to give sperm the maximum chance of remaining and travelling into your tubes without leakage.

      If this does not help after a few cycles, then maybe you and your husband should see medical advice, just for you both to get checked out, and if for any reason there are issues, they can be dealt with and you can be on your way again to conceiving.

      Wish you all the best of luck in conceiving

      Add:
      Some couples place too much stress and concentration on conceiving and forget about the pleasures and enjoyment of sex, it becomes a robotic baby making session. For some reason, this makes conceiving even harder. Once couples stop stressing about conceiving and go back to a healthy and normal, pleasurable sex life, pregnancy can be likely.
      Some couples give up the robotic baby making session, give up on conceiving, resume an enjoyable sex life for pleasure only and surprisingly fall pregnant.

  13. QUESTION:
    What are some Easier ways to get pregnant?
    okay I have regular periods most the time. I have unprotected sex. I am not on the pill got off the shot i think a year ago. i usually get my period on the 16th to the 19th of the month 7 days long. Just really want to know what are some easier ways to get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Do you know your estimated ovulation?? That makes things easier- when you know you're fertile and insemination is optimally timed. So, theoretically speaking you only need to Baby Dance around a particular 5-7 days in the month.
      Use ovulation predictor kits that can be found at the drug stores or pharmacies.
      That is my "easy" tip. Although having your ovulation pinpointed will not guarantee you conception.

    Easy ways to get my wife pregnant FAST ?
    My wife and I are trying to conceive, I need some advice on how to get her pregnant FAST before I go to college in two months.
    =[
    Please and thank you ?

    • ANSWER:
      Well of course have sex, but don't make it like a stressful habit. Have fun with it, I heard it best to have it in the morning because of the sperm count. But 2 times a day or once when ever should be fine.

      Also stop smoking and drinking (if you are a smoker or drink beer etc) that also counts for your wife. With that try to eat healthy and don't wear tight jeans or pants as it can decrease the sperm count.

      For your wife, she can start to take folic acid. It does increase pregnancy in some ways and she will need to take it anyways when pregnant. Also to eat healthy etc.

      If you really want to also you can buy a ovulation test.

      But as said basically have sex as much as you can without making it a stressy habit as stress can decrease chances of pregnancy.

    What is an easy way for a pregnant woman to get aroused?
    I'm finding it harder and harder to get aroused the further I get into my pregnancy. I'm 32 wks pregnant and I crave sex with my husband, but come that time the littlest thing turns me off, or the way everything feels is off, I can't seem to be aroused in the body as much as I am in mind. But I tend to get pissed once it fails. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      Having had 6 babies now, I can say with confidence, you are probably just trying too hard. Your life is busy, and everything is changing - you want to hold on to your husband like your safety line, but you have all these distractions, all the little reminders that life is different.
      Just set aside a good long chunk of time when you don't have to do anything but have sex. Everything else can come later, and you can feel free to relax and make love. Don't worry if nothing "happens" right away either - hormones can do that. Just keep going, stay involved in it and don't give up too easily, and use this technique for concentrating - when your mind begins to wander to some little thing that has to get done, or the picture frame is crooked or the light is shining in your eyes, or whatever, just say "harder" or "softer" to yourself (not him), or do whatever you can to drag your mind back. Taking action yourself helps you stay in the moment, and lets you really feel what you are doing with him, what he is doing with you. Don't make repetitive motions, they are too easy to zone out on. Concentrate on stimulating, not just rubbing over and over. Make that skin really feel it.

  17. QUESTION:
    Whats are some easy way in getting pregnant?
    I had a MC Jan 18,2009, after that I been getting periods but they are not regular anymore. We was trying to get pregnant for over a year and finally did but I had a MC. Now we are trying again but it seems not to be happening. Please help?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to know exactly when you are ovulating, right down to the day and have sex on that day, or for the three days beforehand, the day of ovulation and the day after.

      Because of your irregular periods, you need to try an ovulation predication kit that tells you, based on hormones in your pee, when you are about to release an egg. You can get tests kits for 7 days and test kits for 28 days. They work very well, but I find they are hard to read unless you use a digital one.

      I recommend the Clear Blue digital ovulation prediction kit. It works just like a pregnancy test but shows an empty circle if you are not ovulating and a smiley face to tell you that you are about to ovulate.

      As soon as you see the smiley face, it means that your are at your best time to conceive

      Best of luck to you!

    Im trying to get pregnant to surprise my hubby... are there any easier ways to get pregnant faster?
    We have sex around 3-4 times a week, but I want to surprise him. I lied to him and said I'm planning on having kids, but I know he wants some and I do too. Are there any easier methods in getting pregnant? I don't really let him ejaculate in me... just a little bit. I've been trying for 2 months already.

    • ANSWER:
      if you don't let him ejaculate in you, your chances decrease. does he know when you're ovulating? if not there is no need to be that careful at ovulation time, since he doesn't know when you're ovulating. since you both want children though, why don't you just go ahead and try for one, it will be a surprise either way.

    Easy way to get pregnant on these conditions?
    My Fiance and i have been wanting a kid for a while now. we don't want to get married until December 12th 2012 but we still want a child now.
    In the past my soon to be husband used to smoke pot he has quit but it wasn't that long ago. i know weed can reduce your sperm count and no matter how hard we try i still am not pregnant please help :(
    i also forgot to mention that im on birth control but It doesn't really regulate me.

    • ANSWER:
      The birth control is doing what it is meant to do, stopping you from getting pregnant. It is obviously the birth control. Don't bother trying while you're on it, as you will not see any results. Get off of it now if you are seeking pregnancy. It is highly unlikely you will get pregnant while on it.

      Smoking weed can definitely lower sperm count. It takes about 3 months for a man to make new sperm, so don't expect his count to sky rocket overnight. Any kind of improvement takes about 3 months. I would recommend getting him on a mutli vitamin now, and adding some zinc, selenium and L carnitine with the vitamin as well. My husband has had 2 semen anlysis' and both came back poor and low. Those are the adjustments we've made since finding out. A dr will not usually request a semen analysis till after actively trying for a year. That means a year with no birth control as well.

      Good luck to you, and put that bc away now if you are ready to start actively trying.

  29. QUESTION:
    What is the easy way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Having sex 3-4 times a week will up your chances.You can get pregnant around or on your ovulation day.Having sex often will help you achieve that goal.

      Pay attention to your body for signs of ovulation,like egg white/stretchy mucus.Take basal temperature if you want(though this was never my thing)it has worked for some.Just take your temp evey morning you wake up before getting out of bed.When you have a slight rise,get your freak on.Keep hips slightly raised.Missionary or doggie style are the best positions.

      You can also buy an ovulation kit that can help pin point your most fertile days.
      Relax,have fun and be healthy.Stress can be a good contraceptive.Once you stop worrying so much,you will fall pregnant.

  31. QUESTION:
    whats an easy way to get pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby since January and have had no luck..what can i do to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  32. QUESTION:
    Is it true that having sex 10 days before ur period is an easy way to get pregnant?
    i have friends and family telling me this but it doesnt seem as if its even working. and im not sure really how to calculate when im ovulating.
    please help

    • ANSWER:
      No. For most women 10 days before your period is too late. You ovulated several days ago and the egg is already dead.

      To caluculate when you ovulate, there are several methods:
      1. Estimate -- most women ovulate 12-16 days before the next period, and are fertile for about 5 days leading up to ovulation. (But the egg dies within a day if not fertilized.) Try to have sex 3-4 times within that fertile range.
      2. Use ovulation predictor kits.
      3. Monitor physical signs -- when you have egg-white type mucus, you're probably fertile.
      4. Chart your basal body temperature for a few cycles (you can google for instructions), to see what your normal patterns are like.

  36. QUESTION:
    What are some ways of getting pregnant (intentionally) after having a tubal?
    Without having the tubal reversed. What is the easiest way? Can you just take the sperm to the Doc's office as in simple procedure an have it incerted? How does it live until the appt time?

    • ANSWER:
      No, they can't just insert sperm because, since your fallopian tubes are blocked, there will be no egg there to meet it.

      You have two choices:

      You can have in vitro fertilization, where they stimulate your ovaries to produce lots of eggs, harvest them, mix them with sperm in the lab, pick the healthiest resulting embryo(s), and put them back in your uterus where, hopefully, they implant.

      Or you can have a tubal ligation reversal, in which case you might be able to get pregnant through regular ol' sex.

      As for the shelf life of sperm, you need to use it pretty quickly. Often a sample is obtained just before it's mixed with eggs. You can't usually get a sample at home and then bring it to the doctor's office.

    What is a easy way to get a teenager pregnant on the Sims 2?
    If so could it be easy and simple.
    Please put in instructions step by step please....
    Thanx

    • ANSWER:
      You can not get a teenager pregnant unless you have the mod/hack "InTEENinator" (aka inteen). -This mod is located at http://www.simbology.com

      Note: If you have AL, the mod has not yet been updated for Apartment Life yet, do NOT download an older version, it will break your game... possibly to the point of being unplayable.

      The easiest way is to also download the "inSIMinator" (another hack/mod) and use the option "have baby with ... [name of sim on lot]"

      Again, you can not get a teenager on The Sims 2 pregnant unless you have inteen.

    • ANSWER:
      Unfortunately it doesn't always happen immediately. One thing you can do is to make sure that you have an orgasm at the same time he ejaculates or soon after. The muscle contractions pull the sperm up into the uterus. Also, you could lay with your legs up in the air for 15 minutes after he ejaculates. Also go to the store and buy an ovulation predictor and make sure you have sex right when you are ovulating. Buy a book on how to increase the odds of getting pregnant for more ideas. Usually doctors won't do any kind of fertility treatments unless you've been trying for more than a year unsuccessfully. GOOD LUCK

  42. QUESTION:
    I have a theory about an easy way to get pregnant... any thoughts?
    I stopped my birth control 2 months ago and am trying to conceive, so I started thinking about different ways to up my chances. here's my theory: ovulation happens approximately 14 days after the start of your last period. after ovulation, without fertilization, a woman's body will get ready to start her next period. well the Pill emits progesterone which tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and that is why ovulation/menstruation doesn't occur while on the pill. what if a woman who was trying to conceive didn't take the pill for the first part of her cycle, then immediately after ovulation start taking the pill? would that increase the time period a woman has where she is most fertile since her egg is in the fallopian tube and her body isn't starting to prepare for her next period?

    • ANSWER:
      The short answer is, if it worked there would be a lot of people doing it.
      Read below for things that actually DO increase your chances. The third reference is for people with problem cycles that can be helped through nutritional and lifestyle changes; the last is an explanation of contraceptives.

      Some people DO have inadequate luteal phase progesterone, but that's treated with topical natural progesterone. It will be apparent in a BBT chart.

  43. QUESTION:
    do you kno sum easier ways to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Just have sex a lot so you don't miss your small window of opportunity. There is no trick, Your body will decide whether it takes or rejects it.

  44. QUESTION:
    Whats the easiest way to get pregnant, if you have a hormone imbalance?
    I have a hormone imbalance, and would like to know the easiest ways to be come pregnant. I am a adult, I am financially secure, and have a big enough place of my own, if I needed to take care of a child on my own. I would just like the facts, and what you have tried. I feel the maternal clock ticking, as I get older..

    • ANSWER:
      To correct a hormone imbalance and help you ovulate, talk to your doctor and he should prescribe to you one of these:

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) — This fertility drug helps the ovaries release one or more eggs. Clomiphene starts ovulation in about 80 percent of women with PCOS. Women who take clomiphene use blood and urine tests to see if they are ovulating. Measuring body temperature can also tell you if you are ovulating. If the first dose of clomiphene does not start ovulation, your doctor may order a higher dose.

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) with Metformin - Studies show that the insulin-sensitizing drug, metformin, helps clomiphene in producing ovulation.

      Gonadotropin therapy Drugs called gonadotropins (LH and FSH) is a stronger treatment for PCOS-related infertility. FSH is used without LH for women with PCOS. It is given once a day as an injection under the skin for 7 to 10 days. These drugs start ovulation in nearly all women with PCOS. If your doctor prescribes this drug, you will be taught how to give yourself the injection.

      I hope that helps you out :) Good luck hun!

Endometriosis And Getting Pregnant

Getting Pregnant With Endometriosis - Medical and Alternative Therapies That Will Help You Conceive
If endometriosis is causing infertility and issues with becoming pregnant, there are some alternative treatments that might be able to help you in becoming pregnant with endometriosis.

Getting Pregnant With Endometriosis Medical Options

Endometriosis causes fertility and conception issues because of the damage or blockage of the flimsy Fallopian tubes. Laser treatment or microsurgery may help to recover a woman's fertility, although there is documented evidence in the United States, which states that doctors are not fully sure of the success of laser surgery to repair fertility. If the endometriosis has caused irreversible damage, IVF treatment or tubal surgery can be utilised to help with fertility and conception. Further medical treatment for endometriosis can include the prescription of different sorts of birth-control pills and often a drug called Danazol. The side effects of these drugs can, for some women, be more harmful than the initial problems caused by the endometriosis. It is vitally important that you get advice from your medical practioner if you are trying to get pregnant, because the drugs that are used to treat endometriosis can prevent conception and pregnancy.

Getting pregnant with endometriosis Natural ways to beat endometriosis

Conventional medicine is not always effective at restoring fertility for women trying to get pregnant with endometriosis; resultantly many sufferers decide to experiment with alternative and natural treatments for endometriosis. Most practitioners of alternative medicine use a holistic approach addressing not only the endometriosis and the pain, but also improve diet and lifestyle to help women trying to conceive with endometriosis.
Hot baths with soothing essential oils can help to ease the pain of endometriosis, as do herbal teas. If you do plan to use herbal medicine, ensure that you talk to a medical herbalist so that you can avoid any herbs that will interfere with conception and pregnancy. Some good, safe herbal teas, which will help to sooth endometriosis pain include powdered or root ginger tea (sweeten with honey), meadowsweet tea, chamomile tea and peppermint tea. Some experts suggest that avoiding caffeine, salt, sugar, animal fats, red meats, fried food and junk food, may be helpful in managing endometriosis.

Getting pregnant with endometriosis True Stories

For all of the women out there who are attempting to get pregnant with endometriosis, there is always hope that you can successfully and naturally get pregnant with endometriosis, as these true stories testify:

Sam* had severe endometriosis for many years, but decided against treatment. Sam spent several years playing the field' with men, and never conceived, she felt secure that because of her endometriosis, she would never get pregnant.

Sam's story just goes to show that you could try for several years to get pregnant while you suffer from endometriosis, and finally end up with a nice surprise!

Within 2 months of pursuing the alternative treatment, Holly began to notice that she did not suffer the horrible symptoms of endometriosis that the doctors could not seem to end.

Easy To Get Pregnant

How To Get Pregnant With Twins Naturally If you are a woman trying to have a baby then you know what it feels to not having your own, there is a wonderful experience in a woman in having her own infant. The feeling I am talking about is when you touch and stroking those little fingers, how wonderful to bathe that little baby boy or girl. I still recall those days when I walked to the park watching other women holding their little infants. I used to dream about them.

It can be hard to accept the fact that one day you can have your own baby. As soon as my husband (DH) and I had determined to try to have little ones, I immediately began exploring. I search online to look for some insights from different sites. I read on those forums that some women took years of attempts to get a baby. I supposed this would be a easy.

My cycles were normal, you could set your watch by them. I noticed other women were leaving the forum because they had a big fat positive (BFP). I decided to monitor my basal temp, I did the best I could with no positive results. That was a devestating blow, I wish I had known this before and just couldnt understand why it wasnt happening. Other kept getting thier positive results but me
I started to get extremely frustrated and bitter to women who would come onto the board and within a few attempts of TTC they were pregnant. Finally, I joined to the 8 months forum, where I met people who appreciated how I felt. I learned a lot of information about why some treatment did not work and how different women were able to conceive by following some natural treatments. Things like not getting up soon after you having doing it because that will pull sperms away from where they need to be directed.

The processes that is liable for conception are determined by hormones. These hormones which are made created by proteins, can only function at its best when the body is provided with the needed balanced diet. It is crucial to have right diet to determine that there is a decent supply of hormones to naturally cause pregnancy.

I was surprised to notice that most of medical processes that are expensive and may seriously increases the chances of having twins or triplets. In the end I read that there were many ladies who got pregnant by doing a very simple procedure that was disclosed by a woman in china who had a similar issue. If you want to increase your chances of having a healthy baby then you dont want to use any of these horrific medical processes. What you desire is to get pregnant naturally. To learn more about the procedure Im talking about visit here.

Easy Ways To Conceive

The Easiest, Most Effective, And Reliable Ways To Conceive A Girl
The methods for conceiving a girl are pretty well known and at first glance seem pretty simple: time conception to occur before ovulation; use intercourse positions that favor having a baby girl; and create an acidic and hostile environment (high PH) that will break down and minimize the numbers and strength of the boy sperm. These methods seem pretty straightforward, but they can leave a lot of room for error if you don't completely understand them or have the tools to achieve them correctly.This article will discuss natural, inexpensive, accurate, and reliable ways and methods you can use to make the process of conceiving a girl much easier.

Know Exactly When You Ovulate Without Relying On A Calendar Or Guessing: Since the sperm that produces a baby girl can survive much longer (up to four days) than the sperm that will produce a boy, you should conceive 3 days before you ovulate and then stop trying.

But, how do you know when you ovulate?There are a couple of natural methods that are often encouraged (basal temperature charts and interpreting your cervical mucus) but these leave so much room for error. Being even slightly off in your estimation as to when you ovulate can mean the difference between a son or a daughter.

And, you can't just assume that you ovulate mid way through your cycle or on day 14, (for a 28 -30 day cycle)even if you have a regular period.(I am very regular and I found I ovulate on day 20!) A more accurate and easy way to know when you should conceive is by using an ovulation predictor kit. Of these, I prefer saliva ovulation predictors as you aren't forced to use first morning urine. They are inexpensive, reusable, and you cantest any time you wish. Using a saliva predictor, you can see even small changes to tip you off that ovulation is coming. Doing this will allow you to anticipate your ovulation down the road with total accuracy so can plan when is the best time to conceive your daughter.

Use Sexual Positions That Favor Conceiving A Girl: It's pretty common knowledge that different intercourse positions will favor getting a boy or a girl, but do you know why? It's because the boy sperm are weak and are quick to die off (although they are also faster), so if you want a girl, you want to use positions that place the sperm far away from the egg and the cervix.This gives those little guys a long, hard trip.

Most couples who want a baby girl assume this is the missionary position and it can be for many people, but, depending upon the height of you and your partner and other considerations, there may be better options for your specific situation, such as the spooning position or others. Don't be afraid to experiment before you actually try for real.

Creating A High Enough PH / A Hostile Environment To Conceive A Girl: It's pretty well known that a high PH / acidic vaginal environment favors conceiving a baby girl because the boy sperm just can not survive in this harsh environment for very long.

You can get this high PH by eating acidic foods (and avoiding alkaline ones) and by douching with specific solutions.Using both methods will help you achieve this goal much faster, but you can get a "girl friendly PH" just using foods if you're willing to be diligent about it and can have a bit more patience.

But how do you know if you have a high enough PH to conceive a girl or how far you need to go to get there? You use PH vaginal testing strips. This will tell you your exact PH and will ensure that you know when you've obtained your optimal reading and are ready to conceive a female baby.You can get these at health food stores or online.They also allow you to monitor your douching and acidic diet efforts so you can know when you should stop and start trying to conceive.

If your reading shows that you are naturally alkaline, you'll have to work a bit harder (and boys may run in your family) but by no means isgetting a pink nurseryimpossible. Countless people have done it and you can too.

I hope this article has shown you that with the right tools, it can be quite easy to get the daughter you want. I've put together a website that takes a lot of the guess work out of conceiving a girl. You'll find resources for the food lists, specialty douche recipes, saliva ovulation predictors, and PH testing strips discussed in this article.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Are there any easier ways to conceive?
    What are some ways to make it easier to conceive? My period is majorly irregular. To the point where I can go 5 months with out it.

    • ANSWER:
      if you start to feeling very wet (watery/eggwhite CM) you're in your most fertile window so have sex! if you're having more and more creamy Cm then start having sex every other day. sperm stays in your cervix up to 6 days max in ideal conditions. i use fertilityfriend.com. it tracks BBT, cm, ur cervix and everything in between. it'll take 2 cycles to figure it out but at least it won't be a guessing game. it's a great tool! don't have sex every day as that lowers sperm count - every other day is good :) also if you do need to use lubricant make sure it's sperm friendly as most aren't. i use pre-seed :)

  2. QUESTION:
    Easy ways to conceive?
    We have been trying to get pregnant for a few months now and have been monitoring my ovulation elevating my hips and having sex regularly and haven't yet conceived. Can anybody help us with some useful tips we haven't yet tried? Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      Basically you need to stop focussing on "making babies". Whether you like it or not, most chaps hate feeling like sperm donors. Instead you need to focus on raw passion, lovemaking, romance and friendship.

      If you focus on "making babies", which is what my partners friends seem to do, pregnancy juct won't happen. It's a bit like people who are single activiely looking for a new partner every second of the day: the more they look, the less likely they are to find someone.

      Plenty of lovemaking (doggy) as much as possible should acheive your aims. Deep and doggy always seems to do the trick. Try sex in all sorts of places (woods, over the car bonnet, in risky places).

  3. QUESTION:
    Is there an easy way to conceive of time dilation?
    Try as I might, I just can't seem to conceive of the concept of "time dilation" in a way that's intuitive. It's as though every time it comes up in the book that I'm reading, I have to pause for a few minutes and think about it. And then when it comes around again, I have to do the same thing. It's disappointing, when I contrast this with the concept of "reference frames", which have slowly become something I can accept almost as common sense.

    • ANSWER:
      You have to throw away common sense to understand relativity, but start your understanding FROM ELEMENTARY LEVEL, as if you are STARTING to read physics.As for time dilation, I can give you a simple interpretation ( though not perfect) to understand.
      Suppose a train is moving very fast, nearto the speed of light. A girl inside the train starts to run in such her absolute velocity from ground level, given non-relativistically by sum of velocity of train respect to ground and of girl respect to train, surpasses the velocity of light. But nature cannot allow this. So the time in the train, seen from ground is such expanded that speed of girl = distance/ time is decreased and her velocity seen from ground is lower than speed of light. As if nature has dilated time in the superfast train to respect the limit of speed.
      (this is elementary thinking, but not correct as no existence of NATURE is explained.For correct explanation, read the observer - observation explanation in the book with a cool head)

  4. QUESTION:
    Easy ways to quickly Conceive.. (ex: pillows under tushie)?
    Just let me know tips how to make a baby faster lol....
    WELL DAT HELPS...GIVE ME MORE...IDEAS GUYS...S0 I CAN TRY EVERY ONE OF THEM

    • ANSWER:
      Have an orgasm! They say it opens you up and sends that sperm well on it's way. I think I remember reading that the pillows or elevated cervix thing was debunked but it never stopped me from trying =)

  5. QUESTION:
    I am having trouble concieving, can anyone tell me an easy way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Well there is no easy way to conceive really. There are a couple of things you can do. You can chart so you know when you ovulation is occuring because that is when you get pregnant but most women have to chart for several months to figure out the cycle. You can buy the ovulation strips which tell you when you are ovulating or you can buy a clearblue fertility monitor. You test everyday and it tells you what is going on with your body. Then it will tell you when to have sex to most likely conceive.
      Or you can try the easiest and least expensive have sex every other day or every two days after your period. That way you won't miss your ovulation. The doctor recommends you not having sex everyday so that his sperm is good and healhty and there is a lot when you do have sex. I am charting now everyday and I'm keeping track of when we have sex. I know that sounds weird but it will work. When you are not ovulation his sperm last a couple of hours in your body if you are ovulating it can last up to two - five days. So, if you have sex every other day it should work. After you have been ttc for about a year you should go and see your doctor maybe something is wrong. Hope this helps and good luck.

    Is it really helpful and effective to prop your waist up with a pillow for 15-30 minutes right after sex?

    • ANSWER:
      How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

      1. Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

    Easy ways to get my wife pregnant FAST ?
    My wife and I are trying to conceive, I need some advice on how to get her pregnant FAST before I go to college in two months.
    =[
    Please and thank you ?

    • ANSWER:
      Well of course have sex, but don't make it like a stressful habit. Have fun with it, I heard it best to have it in the morning because of the sperm count. But 2 times a day or once when ever should be fine.

      Also stop smoking and drinking (if you are a smoker or drink beer etc) that also counts for your wife. With that try to eat healthy and don't wear tight jeans or pants as it can decrease the sperm count.

      For your wife, she can start to take folic acid. It does increase pregnancy in some ways and she will need to take it anyways when pregnant. Also to eat healthy etc.

      If you really want to also you can buy a ovulation test.

      But as said basically have sex as much as you can without making it a stressy habit as stress can decrease chances of pregnancy.

  16. QUESTION:

    Hi, I had a miscarriage about a month ago with my first pregnancy, I was 10 weeks pregnant when the baby stopped breathing. The nurse told me I can start trying to conceive whenever i feel right, alot of close friends and even family that have had miscarriages in the past with first pregnancys and even miscarriages after already having kids have said they started trying for a baby after about a month and conceived a month later, I just wanted to know is it easier to conceive after having a miscarriage as thats what alot of people have told me? and does anyone have any tips on easiest ways to conceive (e.g. certain diets, sex positions, etc ..... as last time the pregnancy wasnt planned so wasnt really paying attention or trying diferent things to help. Really hope you can help. Thanks xxxxx

    • ANSWER:
      It is easier to conceive after having a baby or having a miscarriage. It's better to wait until you've had your first period after the miscarriage though as your body needs some time to heal first.

      As for trying to conceive, take folic acid, drink a lot of water, exercise lightly, eat a healthy balanced diet and have sex a lot lol!

      With my first pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage it took me a year to conceive, with my second planned baby it took me 2 months and with my current pregnancy it took me 2 months again. I was just having sex everyday to every second day and taking folic acid as well as having a healthy diet.

      Good luck and lots of baby dust!

  19. QUESTION:
    How difficult is it to get pregnant if you can't actually have sex with your partner?
    Just need to know if there is an easy way to conceive if the sperm is handled properly.....if anybody knows please hit me back THANK YOU!

    • ANSWER:
      I know this is going to sound weird, but I've heard of people using turkey basters. I know it sounds gross but it worked for this particular couple. The husband had had a brain disorder that prevented an erection. Everything else worked just fine except that area. That's about all I can tell ya. Take care.

      You would have to see a fertility specialist if there was something wrong with the sperm count or your eggs. If everything is working except the sex part, as in, his lil swimmers are strong, I don't see why a turkey baster wouldn't work. Good luck.

  20. QUESTION:
    whats the easiest way to conceive?
    Trying to conceive help?
    my period came on 13th august, ended 17th my cycle is around every 32/36 days. so im quite confused when will i ovulate?
    me and my boyfriend are trying to conceive, i had sex on the 18/19/21/24th august.
    apparently i ovulate tomorrow (27th August).
    i also want to no what this stuff is.
    i have been getting more discharge like lotion looking white creamy cloudy discharge.
    It doesn't smell and it isn't sticky.
    i started getting it 22nd and it carried on until this morning.
    And i keep seeming to get loads of it in my nickers and it feels like ive wet my self so i have to use pads or tissue to keep it from going to my nickers.
    could you people give me advise to all off this
    please and thank you.
    Also how can i concieve easiley? like when is the best time in trying, need advice please!x
    I ovulate 1st september. so is it best if me and my partner have intercourse 2/3 days before i ovulate?

    • ANSWER:
      My doctor told me the best way to conceive is to be together every other night and after ward stay on my back for 20 minutes. It allows the sperm time to make the trip deep enough that it doesn't pretty much flush itself out as I stand up. It seems to have worked for us. We only just started after my period ended the end of July and am now 5 weeks pregnant. It took us almost a year with our 1st.
      Good Luck!

  22. QUESTION:
    what is the best medicine to promote ovulation?
    i have pcos and my boyfriend and i are ready to have a baby. i just recently started taking vitex but i have seen no effect yet. what are all my options for the best, fastest and easiest way to conceive?
    i have pcos.. so i dont ovulate. so no it will not happen lol. i have heard of metformin, clomid, provera, ovarian drilling ect. but im just not sure which one is most effective...any suggestions??

    • ANSWER:
      I have PCOS and got pregnant on my very first round of clomid and metformin combo. Even if it doesn't work as fast for you as it did for me, I'd say it's worth a try as clomid is the cheapest and safest (as far as side effects and risk of multiples) treatment.

  25. QUESTION:
    When do I ovulate? Easy ways to find out?
    My physician has just made me stop using any and all forms of birth control that contain hormones, in response to a recent health problem. So we are reluctantly (but consistently, of course!) using condoms and spermicides now. Problem is, I don't really trust these methods; I feel they allow for too much human error. And we are definitely NOT wanting to conceive just yet.

    I figured the TTC people would actually be the best lay-experts to ask here. I would like to try to figure out when I generally ovulate, to add a third safeguard to the condoms and spermicide. Then we could be sure to be even more exceptionally careful around those times of my cycle.

    I know cycles vary from person to person and from one cycle to the next. I know ovulation generally occurs somewhere roughly two weeks before the period. Other than that, how can I use BBT to try to figure out my ovulation? Are there any other ways to use before spending tons of cash on OPKs? Not looking for perfection here, just something to get me a good guess.

    Thanks for any details you can give me on how to determine my ovulation.

    (Also, I assume I'll have to wait a few months for my cycle to return to normal after quitting b.c. anyway, yeah?)
    Only copper IUDs don't contain hormones of some sort. My doc will only allow me to talk about copper IUD again after my current six-month medical treatment ends for another condition. She doesn't think it's a good time to introduce another variable, when some women have bad reactions to IUDs.

    • ANSWER:
      Definitely get the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. She tells you exactly how to figure when you are ovulating plus gives you tons of ways to make sure that you time intercourse to prevent (and even achieve) pregnancy. She explains in great detail the why's and how's of it all. It's a GREAT book. I think you can find it on amazon.com for about -13, way cheaper than using OPKs.

      When using BBT, you would need to temp everyday at the same time. You will notice a temperature rise when ovulation has occured and you are generally safe the 4th high day as long as you don't have any eggwhite cervical fluid. The book explains it in much better detail than I ever could.

  26. QUESTION:
    Is there any herbs or natural ways to get pregnant? or easy to conceive?Thanks.?

    Ok.guys, i know Sex is the most natural. Any other answers that will help. Thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      I would personally not go with herbs, I would go with dietary changes. Herbs probably won't do much, but diet is the biggest health promoter or health destroyer. I would go with a macrobiotic diet or raw vegan (I'm a raw vegan, so I can vouch for that one). If you're not willing to go that far, at least cut down on the processed foods, the meat and the dairy. Cut out soda and take a look at acid/alkaline food charts. Your body works more efficiently when it's more alkaline. Unfortunately the American diet is very acidic. If you can eat less processed foods and more rice, veggies, fruits, nuts seeds, you will be so much healthier.

      By the way, gluten intolerance is actually one of the leading causes of unexplained infertility. About 1 in 7 women have gluten intolerance. I had pcos and after I went gluten free, it basically went away.

    Miscarriage and conceiving???????
    Hi, I had a miscarriage about a month ago with my first pregnancy, I was 10 weeks pregnant when the baby stopped breathing.

Really hope you can help. Thanks xxxxx

    • ANSWER:
      Well, since I live in Europe it is kind of strange for me that you are being encouraged to start trying right away after the miscarriage and not leting your body take its time to heal. As I have been told, and as I have done when I miscarried 2 times in a row, you should let your body recover from previous pregnancy, no matter how small this pregnancy was. After all, your complete hormonal status has been different for at least one month, and that is a big change which needs to get back to normal, and I wouldn't count on that happening in a matter of one cycle. Some women don't even get their period in a matter of one month, for one thing.
      If I were you, I would wait at least 3 months, meanwhile taking prenatal vitamins to boost up your overall health status, and then try to conceive. No special plan (since it's obvious you don't have problem to conceive), just relax, and let things happen. No pressure, because it affects conceiving and pregnancy in a negative way.
      Good luck!

  31. QUESTION:
    Trying to conceive but my 16 month old is still nursing?
    What is a quick and easy way to get her to stop nursing ? Also I took a home pregnancy test and the second line was very very faint could I still be pregnant if I was I don't think I would be very far along maybe 2 weeks . Should I try taking another test or wait ? I have a bunch of symptoms like tired, nausea, going to the bathroom more , cramps .

    • ANSWER:
      At-home pregnancy tests aren't always accurate.... and when they're wrong it's ALWAYS that the test showed negative and the woman truly is pregnant. Therefore, if it showed any second line at all I'd say you're definitely pregnant.

  32. QUESTION:
    Ok, I am trying to conceive and I already have 2 girls and we want a boy. What is the easiest way for me?
    to get pregnant. I have been trying for a couple of months now and I have taken 5 home pregnancy test and they all have said negative . I need someones help with this.

    • ANSWER:
      I have done lots of research on choosing baby's sex. After having a boy I wanted a girl and got one with just a few lifestyle changes. To have a boy eat more sodium and potassium and caffeine. Your partner should have coffee or Coke before sex to give the male sperm a jolt and make them swim faster. You need to eat less or cut out calcium and magnesium. You need to make dietary changes for at least a whole cycle before conceiving. Some women are actually prone to having girls because the PH of their vagina is better suited to female sperm. Changing your diet can help this. Trying right on ovulation is best for having boys so TTC as close to ovulation as possible. Nothing is 100% but it doesn't hurt to try. Good Luck. If you need more help email me.

  33. QUESTION:
    whats an easy way to get pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby since January and have had no luck..what can i do to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  36. QUESTION:
    How do I convience my husband?
    I want to have a baby as soon as possible but my husband wants to wait for a long time. How do we meet in the middle on this one? He is so worried about having a baby now that he always puts a condom on before he finishes.

    When we do agree on when to have a baby, what is the easiest/quickest way to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Well my husband and I discussed kids before we were married and sort of both changed our minds after we got married and decided to start trying and it really does help if the man is on board and in some cases more keen than you are because it makes for a good relationship

      I would discuss this with him and ask him when he personally feels the right time is AND explain to him that making a baby and conceiving takes longer than just the one time, well in 60-70% of couples it takes anywhere between 3-12 months and up to two years for people with certain fertility issues, this may ease his mind a bit so when you do have sex he will be able to relax and think that its not going to happen immediately especially if you have been with your husband a long time and your body has got used to his sperm as new partners and one night stands experience higher pregnancy rates due to the vaginal canal not having any antibodies built up against the sperm heading toward the cervix and latching on to an egg when its released from the fallopian tube.

      The best time to try for a baby is when you are coming on ovulation, usually one to two days prior and on then day but do not wait until the OPK urine predictor tests say yes as it could be too late and you may have already ovulated

      Count your cycles while your husband is still reluctant so you know when you are likely to ovulate, usually fourteen days before a period and the fourteenth day of your cycle, day one is your first day of your period.

      So start baby making on day 12 and go through until day 17 to be sure and remember sperm can live up to seven days but they usually last in a normal woman's body for 3-4 days
      also try pre seed lubricant to enhance cervical mucus during your fertile times and stay away from regular lubricants like K.Y and Durex as they still contain chemicals that can kill or prevent sperm from moving toward the cervix

      this on-line calculator is a great tool to use

  38. QUESTION:
    My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby & I need to know if people have conceived with woman on top?
    We have only been trying for a few months, but this month we actually had sex on the day during the week when I am supposed to be most fertile (although I know not all ovulation calculators are accurate and individuals are different). When we had sex I was on top and I heard that this wasn't the easiest way to conceive as it's harder for the sperm to get to the egg. I don't know if I'm pregnant, my period is due in a week. Please let me know, if you know, if you were able to conceive with the woman on top. I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is our favorite way to do it.

  39. QUESTION:
    I have a theory about an easy way to get pregnant... any thoughts?
    I stopped my birth control 2 months ago and am trying to conceive, so I started thinking about different ways to up my chances. here's my theory: ovulation happens approximately 14 days after the start of your last period. after ovulation, without fertilization, a woman's body will get ready to start her next period. well the Pill emits progesterone which tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and that is why ovulation/menstruation doesn't occur while on the pill. what if a woman who was trying to conceive didn't take the pill for the first part of her cycle, then immediately after ovulation start taking the pill? would that increase the time period a woman has where she is most fertile since her egg is in the fallopian tube and her body isn't starting to prepare for her next period?

    • ANSWER:
      The short answer is, if it worked there would be a lot of people doing it.
      Read below for things that actually DO increase your chances. The third reference is for people with problem cycles that can be helped through nutritional and lifestyle changes; the last is an explanation of contraceptives.

      Some people DO have inadequate luteal phase progesterone, but that's treated with topical natural progesterone. It will be apparent in a BBT chart.

  40. QUESTION:
    anyone know of any ways to make it easier to conceive along with having sex, like, vitamins, etc.?

    • ANSWER:
      Folic Acid is a very important vitamin/mineral for women in general but even more important when you are ttc, and pregnant. It won't get you pregnant but it is just as important if not more than prenatal vitamins. As for other ways to make it easier to conceive, besides prescribed meds from the doctor, there isn't much we can do...otherwise hardly any of us would be having a hard time conceiving. I wish you good luck and don't let the disappointment get to you too much whenever you get a negative.

  44. QUESTION:
    how to conceive a boy?
    We are parents of 3 girl child. Now we want a boy child. Is there any normal nd easy way to achieve this aim?

    • ANSWER:
      Do nothing still you have a 50-50 chances of getting a boy.

      Half the sperms are X and the other half Y. Eggs are all X, so it really depends on which sperm that fertilises the egg. X goes you get X+X a girl, Y goes you get Y+ X, a boy.

      You want a boy, get the Y sperm to go and try weaken the X sperms. Y sperm is lighter so it can swim faster, it prefers alkaline environment. X is more stout, can survive longer in vaginal acid, but it is also heavier thus more sluggish in movement.

      So logically speaking, you must only have sex after you have ovulated.With an ovulated egg waiting, and fresh sperms in the vagina, Y sperms would likely arrive at the egg first as they can swim faster.

      Avoid sex few days before ovulation day as stale sperms are likely to be more of X and less of Y left as they die faster than the X's in acidic environment. You dont want these remaining sperms to fertilise your egg.

      Vaginal fluid is acidic, so to help the Y sperm, try douch the vagina with normal saline to reduce the acidity before sex. Better still if you can douch with a slight alkaline solution like baking soda in water, then the Y sperm would be enhanced. This way you can tilt the odds to your favour 65:35.

      You want better odds go for higher tech methods.

  45. QUESTION:
    Is it true skipping rope exercise can make you unable to conceive/pregnant ?
    well i'm just a teenage who seriously need to workout ! but i found out that skipping a rope can make you unable to get pregnant because of uterus may dislocate from its normal position.. . I was shocked because skipping a rope is just the easiest way for me to lose my weight ! now i'm afraid if i can 't get pregnant in the future ! please tell me !!!!!!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      What a crazy myth! Your uterus is a muscle held in your body surrounded by other organs. The only way to dislocate it is through surgery. Not to mention that it's kind of connected to the parts needed to make a baby, like the vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries. However, exercise can HELP women get pregnant because it keeps the body healthy. So don't stop the exercise if you want to get pregnant some day.

8 Natural Methods to Enhance Fertility
Before rushing off to an In Vitro Fertilization Clinic if you cannot conceive there are natural ways to increase your chances of having a baby. IVF procedures can be costly and there are no guarantees of success even after repeated attempts by a couple.New studies reveal that stress of today’s lifestyles is causing much of the fertility problems experienced by couples wishing to have a baby. Other research indicates women who have high levels of the hormone cortisol which is linked to stress do not have a menstrual cycle at all.

Foods which are high in anti-oxidants, iron, calcium, zinc and enzymes will greatly increase your chances of fertility. A daily cup of organic blueberries can increase the chances of success as well the natural Goji berry using in traditional chinese medicine can boost your drive better than oysters.

Foods to Improve Fertility: Fruits that are both colorful and high in anti-oxidants such as: red peppers, orange carrots, green salads, mangoes, apples, figs, yams, nuts, salmon, oysters, and carrots improve fertility. High calcium selections for women improve the ability to conceive. Lifestyle and diet improvements are great alternative healthful ways to avoid infertility.

Exercise: Prenatal preparation is enhanced by moderately strengthening the body through exercise. The best method is yoga since it produces melatonin which helps reduce the stress of trying to get pregnant.
Pre -Natal Yoga classes also teach you to strengthen the muscles of the body which are used during giving birth.

Relaxing and meditating on the wonderful bundle of joy that is about to enhance your family also is a powerful effect on getting pregnant. This type of yoga with specific positions strengthens tone and flexibility which increases reproductive health.

What to Avoid for Improved Fertility: Alcohol and caffeine do affect both parents-to-be in decreased chances of fertilization. Plenty of restful sleep, fresh air walks in the sunshine and reduced stress all are goals for all young couples wishing to have a baby.

Acupuncture: Through balancing the body’s energies that may be stuck, a traditional Chinese method of using acupuncture can create the harmony necessary for conception. Balancing the body’s energy levels of the uterus, liver, and reproductive systems is a valued and successful process of creating a baby.

Herbs and Supplements: Dong Quai, Nettle Leaves, Damiania are all herbs that can increase ovulation, balance hormones, adrenal glands and increase the bodies energy levels for conception.

Vitamins: Increasing intake of Vitamin E helps the reproductive glands in their production of key sex hormones in conceiving a baby. Selenium is also being studied for its effects on lower male fertility by the University of Padua in Italy.

Detoxing the Body: All herbal cleansers such as colon, kidney, liver and blood cleansers can have a very positive effect on achieving conception. A sluggish colon which increases the toxin levels can actually prevent fertility.

Herbal Colon Cleanses: and colonics increase blood flow and support the liver to remove more toxins as well as stimulating the gallbladder to release bile.
All these methods result in a cleaner, healthy and safe environment to start manufacturing a baby.

Even after pregnancy occurs detoxing and these techniques is optimal for caring for a healthy bouncing baby the natural way.

Easy Way To Get Pregnant

How Can I get Pregnant Quickly - The Easy Way To get Pregnant Fast
Are you thinking to yourself "How can I get pregnant quickly?". If so then here are tips to help you get pregnant quickly and easily. Please not that these tips are for both men and women.

Things that you absolutely need to start eliminating your diet if you want to get pregnant quickly are sugar, artificial sugar, fast foods and junk foods, soy, canned goods and anything with artificial food coloring in it. Sugar is extremely toxic to the body and is quite harmful to your reproductive system. Avoid sugary drinks and foods whenever possible.

Soy has hormone disrupting effects and should be eliminated from your diet right from the start. Replace soy milk with almond, rice or hemp milk. Canned goods are lined with BPA or bisphenol A, which causes lowered sperm count.

Start incorporating more fresh organic raw fruits and vegetables into your diet. Pesticides can cause infertility in both men and women, which is why you should opt for organics whenever possible. Cooking also destroys much of the valuable trace minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and more in food. Eat your food raw as much as possible

Detoxifying your body will help you to get much of the gunk in your system including parasites, old feces and help to restore your body to optimal shape. if you have a bloated belly or don't go to the washroom at least twice a day, then you absolutely need to do a colon cleanse to get rid old impacted fecal matter in your belly. Parasite cleanses, kidney cleanses, lung cleanses are also important. If you live in the city or in a polluted area lung cleanses are of vital importance.

Many people dismiss this tip, but drinking water is so important for fertility. Water is essential to many processes of the body including reproduction. ideally you should be drinking 6-8 glasses of water a day, and your urine should be clear. If it's not that you are most likely dehydrated.

Avoid drinking alcohol, sugar cokes, juices, coffee, or tea. These contain caffeine, sugar, and additives, and can all cause infertility problems in both women and men. If you want to know how to get pregnant quickly follow these tips here to help you to get pregnant fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What is an easy way for a pregnant woman to get aroused?
    I'm finding it harder and harder to get aroused the further I get into my pregnancy. I'm 32 wks pregnant and I crave sex with my husband, but come that time the littlest thing turns me off, or the way everything feels is off, I can't seem to be aroused in the body as much as I am in mind. But I tend to get pissed once it fails. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      Having had 6 babies now, I can say with confidence, you are probably just trying too hard. Your life is busy, and everything is changing - you want to hold on to your husband like your safety line, but you have all these distractions, all the little reminders that life is different.
      Just set aside a good long chunk of time when you don't have to do anything but have sex. Everything else can come later, and you can feel free to relax and make love. Don't worry if nothing "happens" right away either - hormones can do that. Just keep going, stay involved in it and don't give up too easily, and use this technique for concentrating - when your mind begins to wander to some little thing that has to get done, or the picture frame is crooked or the light is shining in your eyes, or whatever, just say "harder" or "softer" to yourself (not him), or do whatever you can to drag your mind back. Taking action yourself helps you stay in the moment, and lets you really feel what you are doing with him, what he is doing with you. Don't make repetitive motions, they are too easy to zone out on. Concentrate on stimulating, not just rubbing over and over. Make that skin really feel it.

    What is an easy way to get pregnant?

  3. QUESTION:
    Whats are some easy way in getting pregnant?
    I had a MC Jan 18,2009, after that I been getting periods but they are not regular anymore. We was trying to get pregnant for over a year and finally did but I had a MC. Now we are trying again but it seems not to be happening. Please help?

    • ANSWER:
      You need to know exactly when you are ovulating, right down to the day and have sex on that day, or for the three days beforehand, the day of ovulation and the day after.

      Because of your irregular periods, you need to try an ovulation predication kit that tells you, based on hormones in your pee, when you are about to release an egg. You can get tests kits for 7 days and test kits for 28 days. They work very well, but I find they are hard to read unless you use a digital one.

      I recommend the Clear Blue digital ovulation prediction kit. It works just like a pregnancy test but shows an empty circle if you are not ovulating and a smiley face to tell you that you are about to ovulate.

      As soon as you see the smiley face, it means that your are at your best time to conceive

      Best of luck to you!

    quick and easy way to get pregnant?
    I want to get pregnant quick....any suggestions? I am eating right and taking vitamins and I am in shape and good of health....I know about having sex 12 days after my last period but i was wondering if there are certain positions or anything like that?

    • ANSWER:
      Grab some ovulation strips they can pin point the day you will most fertile, not all women ovulate 12-14 days after there period. Try laying down after sex, give those swimmers a better chance. And don't stress over it too much, have a bit of fun. I always thought the man on top was the best position...? :)

  8. QUESTION:
    Easy way to get pregnant on these conditions?
    My Fiance and i have been wanting a kid for a while now. we don't want to get married until December 12th 2012 but we still want a child now.
    In the past my soon to be husband used to smoke pot he has quit but it wasn't that long ago. i know weed can reduce your sperm count and no matter how hard we try i still am not pregnant please help :(
    i also forgot to mention that im on birth control but It doesn't really regulate me.

    • ANSWER:
      The birth control is doing what it is meant to do, stopping you from getting pregnant. It is obviously the birth control. Don't bother trying while you're on it, as you will not see any results. Get off of it now if you are seeking pregnancy. It is highly unlikely you will get pregnant while on it.

      Smoking weed can definitely lower sperm count. It takes about 3 months for a man to make new sperm, so don't expect his count to sky rocket overnight. Any kind of improvement takes about 3 months. I would recommend getting him on a mutli vitamin now, and adding some zinc, selenium and L carnitine with the vitamin as well. My husband has had 2 semen anlysis' and both came back poor and low. Those are the adjustments we've made since finding out. A dr will not usually request a semen analysis till after actively trying for a year. That means a year with no birth control as well.

      Good luck to you, and put that bc away now if you are ready to start actively trying.

  9. QUESTION:
    What is the easy way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Having sex 3-4 times a week will up your chances.You can get pregnant around or on your ovulation day.Having sex often will help you achieve that goal.

      Pay attention to your body for signs of ovulation,like egg white/stretchy mucus.Take basal temperature if you want(though this was never my thing)it has worked for some.Just take your temp evey morning you wake up before getting out of bed.When you have a slight rise,get your freak on.Keep hips slightly raised.Missionary or doggie style are the best positions.

      You can also buy an ovulation kit that can help pin point your most fertile days.
      Relax,have fun and be healthy.Stress can be a good contraceptive.Once you stop worrying so much,you will fall pregnant.

    Whats an easy way to get pregnant?
    I got married two months ago and have been trying to concieve, any suggestions!!!

    • ANSWER:
      have sex lol

  11. QUESTION:
    whats an easy way to get pregnant?
    Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby since January and have had no luck..what can i do to conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.

      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  12. QUESTION:
    Is it true that having sex 10 days before ur period is an easy way to get pregnant?
    i have friends and family telling me this but it doesnt seem as if its even working. and im not sure really how to calculate when im ovulating.
    please help

    • ANSWER:
      No. For most women 10 days before your period is too late. You ovulated several days ago and the egg is already dead.

      To caluculate when you ovulate, there are several methods:
      1. Estimate -- most women ovulate 12-16 days before the next period, and are fertile for about 5 days leading up to ovulation. (But the egg dies within a day if not fertilized.) Try to have sex 3-4 times within that fertile range.
      2. Use ovulation predictor kits.
      3. Monitor physical signs -- when you have egg-white type mucus, you're probably fertile.
      4. Chart your basal body temperature for a few cycles (you can google for instructions), to see what your normal patterns are like.

    • ANSWER:
      You can not get a teenager pregnant unless you have the mod/hack "InTEENinator" (aka inteen). -This mod is located at http://www.simbology.com

      Note: If you have AL, the mod has not yet been updated for Apartment Life yet, do NOT download an older version, it will break your game... possibly to the point of being unplayable.

      The easiest way is to also download the "inSIMinator" (another hack/mod) and use the option "have baby with ... [name of sim on lot]"

    • ANSWER:
      Sweetie I'm in the same boat. My husband and I have been trying for a while now, and it seems almost impossible to us at times, but it will happen if it is God's will. Your best bet is to simply pray. Ask God for your little bundle of joy, and it's most likely to happen. Until then, I'm certain they're things you can do to make your body a more healthy environment for when the little one does come along. My cousin once told me that if you stop, or at least slow down on, your caffeine intake your chances of getting pregnant will increase. I'm not really sure if that's true or not, but that's what i've been told. Anyhow, good luck and God Bless.

    many thanks for the answers :) x

    • ANSWER:
      Its best for you & your partner to have some tests done to ensure that there is no underlying medical reason.
      If there is no medical reason then try to have sex as often as possible & the old legs in the air prop your bum & back up on a couple of pillows trick helps as it basically stops everything coming back out straight away. Defiantly not the most dignified of poses but certainly something for you & your partner to have a laugh about.
      But the most important advice has to be just have fun together don't let trying for a baby become all consuming.
      Best of luck!!!!!

  24. QUESTION:
    what is a quick and easy way to get pregnant?
    trying for a baby

    • ANSWER:
      The best or most fertile time to get pregnant is the period of ovulation in your menstrual cycle. Once you know your ovulation period, you can time sexual intercourse in accordance with it to increase your chances of getting pregnant. To find out when you are ovulating, figure out when your next period is due. From this date, count back 12 to 16 days. This will give you a range of days when you will probably be ovulating. In normal case, for women with a 28-day cycle, the 14th day is often the best day to get pregnant. Hope this helps

  25. QUESTION:
    how is the fastiest and easiest way to get pregnant?
    I am a 20 year old women who is trying to get pregnant. My husband and I have been trying for 5 months to get pregnant and so far nothing has worked. Everytime a PG tests comes back negitive I get stressed out. I have no idea how to begin or even how to get pregnant. I have one already but he was a surprise and a very nice one. He is 2 and a half now and we think it is time to try for another baby because by the time I have the baby my sone will be 3. I am hoping to get pregnant so when I go to my parents in September we can share the joy with my parents. Can anyonw explaine to me the fastiest and easiest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      well there's a website that can help explain the ovulation thing better;

      www.babycenter.com

      go to the trying to conceive...

      but typicaly you can "gauge when you're fertile" by taking the first day of your period and splitting it in half; lets say you are a 30 day person (30 days between periods) take the first day of your period and count to 15 and around that time is your fertile time; but remember not to have sex on a daily basis as then immature sperm that are unable to fertilze an egg are released; try every other to every other 2 days. good luck!!

  26. QUESTION:
    Which is the easiest way to get pregnant?
    Insemination by clinic or the natural way?

    If you can't get pregnant by insemination, is it still possible to get pregnant the natural way?
    FYI--this is for research.

    • ANSWER:
      I think the natural way would be easiest,cheapest and more fun.
      As for the insemination it can be expensive and not much fun and very stressful.
      If insemination doesnt work you can still fall pregnant the natural way it happened to a friend who had almost given up when it didnt happen through insemination and now has a 3mthold conceived naturally!

      good luck with your reseach!

    What is the easiest way to get pregnant naturally?
    I and my wife have been married for 8 years. How can I get pregnant naturally and easily?

    • ANSWER:
      Getting pregnant sounds really easy, but it is very complicated in fact.
      You'd better turn to doctors for help or read some books to get more techniques or tips.

      http://www.pregnancytutor.com/pregnant.html
      The following are some simple steps you can take to increase your chances on getting pregnant.
      1. Stop Taking Birth Control
      You already know that you need to stop taking birth control before you begin trying to get pregnant.
      2. Get Healthy
      Start taking folic acid now
      3. Learn Your Cycle
      Take the time to learn your body, as you need to have sex when you are ovulating.
      4. Enjoy Yourself
      The more aroused you when being intimate with your partner, and the less stressed you feel, the more likely it is that you will be successful in getting pregnant.
      5. Consider Proper Positions
      The missionary position seems to put the sperm closest to the cervix, making the journey towards fertilization easier.
      6. Talk to Your Partner
      Your partner's actions can actually lower his sperm count, making it harder to get pregnant fast.
      7. Make the Trip Easier
      You can increase your chances on getting pregnant fast by making the vaginal environment more receptive to sperm.

      Most couples are successful in the first six months after they thy to conceive, so your odds of success are pretty high!

  30. QUESTION:
    What is the quickest/easiest way to get pregnant?
    I got the Depo Provera shot on November 9, 2010 and since the beginning of February 2011 I have been spotting everyday with large amounts of clotting, also my uterus aches often. I have also been having unprotected sex with my husband since getting off the depo shot and have not gotten pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      your body may need time to get it's cycle back to normal. Some women's bodies take a while to get back to a normal cycle after being on birth control. Wait until you are not spotting everyday and are having normal periods every month for at least 2 months, then keep track of when you ovulate and have sex around that time. Good luck!

      How to get Pregnant Faster – Top Ten Tips

      1. Have sex three times a week.

      Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
      2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

      Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and don’t require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

      3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

      Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Don’t wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partner’s sperm will last longer than your egg and you don’t want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

      4. Don’t rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

      A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

      5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

      Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

      6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
      Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

      7. Don’t smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
      This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

      8. Have enjoyable sex.

      Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the man’s sperm count.

      9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  34. QUESTION:
    I have a theory about an easy way to get pregnant... any thoughts?
    I stopped my birth control 2 months ago and am trying to conceive, so I started thinking about different ways to up my chances. here's my theory: ovulation happens approximately 14 days after the start of your last period. after ovulation, without fertilization, a woman's body will get ready to start her next period. well the Pill emits progesterone which tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and that is why ovulation/menstruation doesn't occur while on the pill. what if a woman who was trying to conceive didn't take the pill for the first part of her cycle, then immediately after ovulation start taking the pill? would that increase the time period a woman has where she is most fertile since her egg is in the fallopian tube and her body isn't starting to prepare for her next period?

    • ANSWER:
      The short answer is, if it worked there would be a lot of people doing it.
      Read below for things that actually DO increase your chances. The third reference is for people with problem cycles that can be helped through nutritional and lifestyle changes; the last is an explanation of contraceptives.

  36. QUESTION:
    Whats the easiest way to get pregnant, if you have a hormone imbalance?
    I have a hormone imbalance, and would like to know the easiest ways to be come pregnant. I am a adult, I am financially secure, and have a big enough place of my own, if I needed to take care of a child on my own. I would just like the facts, and what you have tried. I feel the maternal clock ticking, as I get older..

    • ANSWER:
      To correct a hormone imbalance and help you ovulate, talk to your doctor and he should prescribe to you one of these:

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) — This fertility drug helps the ovaries release one or more eggs. Clomiphene starts ovulation in about 80 percent of women with PCOS. Women who take clomiphene use blood and urine tests to see if they are ovulating. Measuring body temperature can also tell you if you are ovulating. If the first dose of clomiphene does not start ovulation, your doctor may order a higher dose.

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) with Metformin - Studies show that the insulin-sensitizing drug, metformin, helps clomiphene in producing ovulation.

      Gonadotropin therapy Drugs called gonadotropins (LH and FSH) is a stronger treatment for PCOS-related infertility. FSH is used without LH for women with PCOS. It is given once a day as an injection under the skin for 7 to 10 days. These drugs start ovulation in nearly all women with PCOS. If your doctor prescribes this drug, you will be taught how to give yourself the injection.

      I hope that helps you out :) Good luck hun!

  37. QUESTION:
    What are some easy ways to get pregnant?
    Me and my husband been trying for awhile now what can i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Visit your OBGYN. There may be a physical/hormonal reason why you are not getting pregnant. Your husband may also need to be screened.

      Lay on your back after sex (15+ minutes). You may want to prop a pillow under your butt in case the boys aren't good swimmers.

      Chart your basal body temperature (BBT) to determine estimated time of ovulation. You can also get an ovulation microscope (saliva microscope) to verify your time of ovulation. - These methods are cheaper than buying ovulation predictor kits/test strips (OPKs)

      Have sex every day or every other day during your fertile period. This will ensure a fresh batch of semen in your body. Sperm generally live 3-5 days but can last up to 7 days inside a hospitable female environment. Unfortunately the egg will only live 12-24 hours after ovulation (if not fertilized).

      A healthy diet and low impact exercise will increase your chances of conception. Loosing even 10% of your body weight (if you are over weight) can dramatically increase your chances of conception.

      Cut out alcohol/drugs/smoking (if applicable). Start taking over the counter prenatal vitamins or at least take a regular daily vitamin.

      Best of luck!

      If you have been trying for more than 1yr.. it is time to seek fertility help! Try to schedule for a pre-conception health screening where they will do some physical test, blood test and pelvic scan. You may want to include pap smear and HSG (check if fallopain tube is blocked). Find out what is the problem and decide the next step to take rather then trying aimlessly..

    I'm really trying to get pregnant, and I think I am ready for the baby. I am trying to find the simplest, fastest, and easiest way to get pregnant. Whens the right time? What's the best position? What else do I need to do?

    • ANSWER:
      Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you're looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you've already ovulated.

      You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become cramy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That's your optimal time to have sex.

      Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

      YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

      HOpe this helps!

      Put a plow or two under you buttox, while making love
      (This causes for deeper penetration)
      After making love-
      keep the pillows under, and raise your legs and feet in the air and pretend you are riding a bicycle (do this for about 5 min or so...)
      I know it sounds silly but it will help... seriously
      the muscle movements, along with gravity helps the sperm to get to your eggs... it will defiantly make you and your partner laugh...

      The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Don’t get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

      10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
      Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

  8. QUESTION:
    Whats the easiest way to get pregnant, if you have a hormone imbalance?
    I have a hormone imbalance, and would like to know the easiest ways to be come pregnant. I am a adult, I am financially secure, and have a big enough place of my own, if I needed to take care of a child on my own. I would just like the facts, and what you have tried. I feel the maternal clock ticking, as I get older..

    • ANSWER:
      To correct a hormone imbalance and help you ovulate, talk to your doctor and he should prescribe to you one of these:

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) — This fertility drug helps the ovaries release one or more eggs. Clomiphene starts ovulation in about 80 percent of women with PCOS. Women who take clomiphene use blood and urine tests to see if they are ovulating. Measuring body temperature can also tell you if you are ovulating. If the first dose of clomiphene does not start ovulation, your doctor may order a higher dose.

      Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) with Metformin - Studies show that the insulin-sensitizing drug, metformin, helps clomiphene in producing ovulation.

      Gonadotropin therapy Drugs called gonadotropins (LH and FSH) is a stronger treatment for PCOS-related infertility. FSH is used without LH for women with PCOS. It is given once a day as an injection under the skin for 7 to 10 days. These drugs start ovulation in nearly all women with PCOS. If your doctor prescribes this drug, you will be taught how to give yourself the injection.

      I hope that helps you out :) Good luck hun!

  9. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant?
    I'm really trying to get pregnant, and I think I am ready for the baby. I am trying to find the simplest, fastest, and easiest way to get pregnant. Whens the right time? What's the best position? What else do I need to do?

    • ANSWER:
      Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you're looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you've already ovulated.

      You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become cramy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That's your optimal time to have sex.

      Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

      YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

      HOpe this helps!

    What would be the easiest way to get pregnant after a tubal ligation? Reversal? Invetro?
    I did have a child in 2002 before I had my tubes tied in 2005 and am 28 years old now.

    • ANSWER:
      I would think that having the surgery reversed would be the most economical way, and it also has a higher success rate than in vitro. I also know that in vitro can be very expensive.

  12. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant? Besides the obvious, if you have an irregular cycle.?

      Also..start taking prenatal vitamins now. Drink lots of water. Stop drinking alcohol and caffeine..and don't smoke. If you're overweight, losing weight can also help.

  13. QUESTION:
    what changes in cervical mucus occur before conception, and whats the easiest way to get pregnant?
    my husband and i are trying to get pregnant, and i had a miscarriage in may, so im a bit concerned. we dont know what to turn to for help, and have already talked to doctors, but id rather have advice from those who have been there

    • ANSWER:
      Your cervical fluid will become abundant and like egg whites when you are fertile. I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been there a couple of times, myself.

      What you'll want to do is get a basal body temp thermometer, take your temperature and check for your mucus every day. Take your temp on waking, before you even get out of bed. Check your fluids whenever you get a chance and chart any changes you may see. When your fluids are like egg white, you're at your fertile time. When your temperature goes up, you have ovulated. If it stays up past the time your period is supposed to start, you are probably pregnant. Good luck!

  16. QUESTION:
    what is the easiest way to get pregnant after undergoing ovarian cyst removal?

    • ANSWER:
      Avoid becoming stressed about getting pregnant. I had my left ovary removed because the doctor suspected cancer when I was 21. I had one child but wanted another. For to years I couldn't get pregnant.
      I finally resolved myself to being happy with one child, when she was four I signed up for nursing school/college and became pregnant soon after which delayed my educaiton for another three years.
      Also I would say that after surgery, you need to just give your body time to heal.

    • ANSWER:
      just have sex - after all,that is how babies are made.every 2-3 days is enough,you'll hit the window sooner or later.stressing about it can hinder it too so just let nature take its course

  23. QUESTION:
    What's the easiest way to get pregnant? Always have unprotected sex with my boyfriend, don't understand

    • ANSWER:
      An ovulation predictor would tell you the best time to have sex with the highest chance of getting pregnant. Also keep in mind that a woman with a normal cycle will ovulate about 15 days after her missed period and sperm lives 2-3 days inside a women so a couple days either side of that to have sex would increase your chance. Also, get a medical examination. Certain health conditions can prevent a woman from getting pregnant (like diabete and thyroid disease).

      Although I would strongly recommend being positive you really want a baby before conceiving. I see he is your boyfriend, are you sure you want to be tied to him for the rest of you life (just a thought since there is no permanet tie between the two of you -which would be marriage). It is really important to think what is best for the baby, not what we ourselves want. Maybe, it could be meant that you not have a child right now. I was in this situation, and didn't get pregnant with my boyfriend and I am so glad now that I didn't! I now have a husband and I'm so glad he is the father of my kids, rather than my boyfriend I had back then. (Just a thought -once you have a baby there is no turning back.) -But, this might not even be your situation, if not just disregard. I just don't want you to feel like you made a mistake later either. Good luck!

  26. QUESTION:
    what is the best and easiest way to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Start counting... day one is the first day of full bleeding of the menstrual period... Day 8 - 10, no sex. Day 11, 13, 15, 17 - have sex as often as you want, but only on those days.

      Also, day 8, start taking guaifinesin syrup or tablets - labelled "expectorant" in the cough & cold medicine aisle of your drug or grocery store.

      Take a dose 3 times daily until day 17.

      Don't smoke, as cigarettes really foul up a woman's hormones, can prevent implantation, and can also cause miscarriage as well as low birthweight for a baby. It's just bad news!!

      Eat well.

      Don't exercise to excess.

      Keep your weight normal - a quick gain or loss can throw off a woman's cycle.

      Good luck!

  29. QUESTION:
    What is the easiest way to get pregnant no drugs?

    ANY HOME REMEDIES, VITAMINS ETC

    • ANSWER:
      Okay, to get pregnant you have to have intercourse durring or near ovulation. You ovulate 2 weeks after your menstration cycle begins. In other words, the day your period starts is day 1. 14 days later you should ovulate.

      Healthy sperm can live between 5-7 days in a woman's body, depending on the health of the woman, the acidity of the mucus and body temperature.

      Vaginal mucus can help or hinder sperm travel. Near ovulation, the mucus is usually clear (in colour) and "stringy." After ovulation the mucus is usually whitish and more tacky (this means it is acidic, for reasons I won't get into at this time). Clear, stringy mucus is most condusive to fertilization.

      Now, there are other factors to keep in mind: only 1 in 4 pregnancies are successful in these conditions. In other words, after fertilization the embryo has to embed itself to the uterine wall, which only happens a quarter of the time. If it does not embed, the embryo will die and will be flushed out in your next menstral cycle (you may not even know you're pregnant). So you simply have to keep trying. Have sex as often as you can near your ovulation time.

      To help increase your chances of fertilization and successful pregnancy, eat healthy, limit or cease alcohol, cigarette and drug use. Take prenatal suppliments and vitamines such as folic acid.

      Having your partner obstain from sexual activity resulting in ejaculation until you are ovulating can also increase your chances. His ejaculate will have a higher concentration of sperm.

  32. QUESTION:
    what is the easiest way of getting pregnant?
    been trying to get pregnant for 3 yrs and had no luck

    • ANSWER:
      First off I want to say, If you've been TTC for more than a year and no luck you should definitely go to a fertility doctor and ask their oppinions. This sounds more serious than just having sex.

      But for hopefully some luck.... Have unprotected sex with your partner everyday and make sure he ejaculates in you deep. Lay on your back with your pelvis elevated (a pillow under your booty) for about 20-25 minutes after he has 'finished' in you. Take prenatal pills everyday even if you are not pregnant because this will help your body prepare for a baby (this doesn't mean your going to get pregnant it just boosts your chances of the baby sticking). Drink lots of fluids, especially water. Excersise daily at least 30-40 minutes each time. Walking (somewhat fast) is the best.

      Also what your man eats and does will effect his sperm as well, make sure he is taking a mens daily multi-vitamin, drinking lots of fluids, and exersizing too!

      Also, ive seen some one say that taking allergy medicine that drys up your nose and chest mucus, also dried up their cervical mucus....So try taking it easy on the allergy meds too. This might help you be more 'wet' and the sperm can travel easier to your egg.

  40. QUESTION:
    What is an easy way for a pregnant woman to get aroused?
    I'm finding it harder and harder to get aroused the further I get into my pregnancy. I'm 32 wks pregnant and I crave sex with my husband, but come that time the littlest thing turns me off, or the way everything feels is off, I can't seem to be aroused in the body as much as I am in mind. But I tend to get pissed once it fails. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      Having had 6 babies now, I can say with confidence, you are probably just trying too hard. Your life is busy, and everything is changing - you want to hold on to your husband like your safety line, but you have all these distractions, all the little reminders that life is different.
      Just set aside a good long chunk of time when you don't have to do anything but have sex. Everything else can come later, and you can feel free to relax and make love. Don't worry if nothing "happens" right away either - hormones can do that. Just keep going, stay involved in it and don't give up too easily, and use this technique for concentrating - when your mind begins to wander to some little thing that has to get done, or the picture frame is crooked or the light is shining in your eyes, or whatever, just say "harder" or "softer" to yourself (not him), or do whatever you can to drag your mind back. Taking action yourself helps you stay in the moment, and lets you really feel what you are doing with him, what he is doing with you. Don't make repetitive motions, they are too easy to zone out on. Concentrate on stimulating, not just rubbing over and over. Make that skin really feel it.

      If you understand when you ovulate and have been trying for 2 years, you need to see a doctor for a fertility evaluation. (Both you and your fiance need to go.)

      I might recommend, however, working out the relationship issues (extreme jealousy and controlling behavior by your fiance) before adding a child to the mix.

Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy

Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy
Morning sickness and swollen breasts are among the early symptoms of pregnancy.

Are you pregnant? Keep in mind that when you are in doubt about earliest pregnancy symptoms then you can do a home pregnancy test right ahead. However, even before you miss a period, you can already assume if you are pregnant or not. Early pregnancy symptoms may differ from one woman to another but of course the most common is a delayed menstrual cycle. These symptoms may be felt within a week of conception while there are also women who may never at all experience any signs of pregnancy. Remember, that there are also various indications that may come out comparable to usual pre-menstrual discomforts.

A wide range of physical and emotional changes may occur. One of those is the “feeling of being pregnant”. Lots of women confess that they have an intuition about pregnancy signs and this instinct is most of the time accurate. Are you feeling weird and moody lately? Are you experiencing heartburn or constipation? Do you find yourself having a trip to the bathroom very often these days? These are some indications of pregnancy.

Other early symptoms to look out for are swollen breasts. After two weeks of conception, hormonal changes that take place in your body may make your breasts tender, painful or sore. Sometimes a woman may sense that her breasts are fuller and heavier than before. Moreover, implantation bleeding may also occur which can sometimes be mistaken as the real period. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryos instill itself into the uterine wall; as a result the presence of spotting and cramping takes place.

You probably heard a pregnant woman before who complains about morning sickness, this is among the most distinguished pregnancy symptom that may occur between 2-8 weeks after conception. Although there are some who are lucky enough not to experience this highly uncomfortable indication, there are still some who may feel nauseous in the entire range of pregnancy. Another early symptom to look out for is fatigue and exhaustion. You may feel tired almost all the time and you will find it hard to get out of the bed when you wake up due to all the changes in your body and the increasing level of hormones that you have. Just try to have at least 15 minutes of nap whenever is possible.

Furthermore, another most common early symptom of pregnancy is craving for a certain kind of food. For example, a woman may crave sour food although she never really likes the taste of sourness when she’s not still pregnant. Taking pre-natal vitamins and pure fish oil capsule may avert this problem. Aversions to certain kind of foods may also happen. There will be foods that you enjoyed before but now deemed as disgusting. Even the plain smell of the food can make a woman feel nauseous. This problem may come and go but there are some that last throughout the whole period of pregnancy. If one or more of this above mentioned early symptoms are happening to you right now, it is best to seek the help of a professional as early as possible.

Early Gender Prediction

Predicting Baby Gender - Gender Selection Techniques for Influencing Gender of Baby During Pregnancy In order to practice the gender selection techniques for predicting baby gender, the following concepts need to be understood to influence gender of baby during pregnancy:

Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes
Intercourse and Ovulation Timing
Ovulation Predictor Kits
Female Acidity and Diet
Female Orgasms
Sex Positions

Predicting Baby Gender - Male Sperm: X and Y Chromosomes

Between the male and female, it is the male who determines the gender of baby during pregnancy. The male sperm is made up of two chromosomes: X and Y. The X chromosomes produce girls and the Y chromosomes produce boys. The X chromosomes are larger, slower and live longer. The Y chromosomes are smaller, faster and die quicker.

Predicting Baby Gender - Intercourse and Ovulation Timing

Considering the information about the two chromosomes in male sperm, the timing of intercourse and ovulation become critical in predicting baby gender.

If you want a girlengage in intercourse two to three days before ovulation begins. Sperm lives up to five days in the female body. The extra days will give time for the female sperm to beat the male sperm and wait for the arrival of the egg. If you want a boyengage in intercourse one day before or the day of ovulation. As a result, the male sperm will reach the egg before the female sperm.

Predicting Baby Gender - Ovulation Predictor Kits

In order for predicting baby gender to be even possible, a woman must be ovulating to have a chance of getting pregnant. Purchasing an ovulation predictor kit is a great way to know if you are ovulating or not.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Acidity and Diet

The PH balance inside of females can dictate gender of baby during pregnancy. The more acidic the environment is, the more likely to conceive a girl. Conversely, the more alkaline the environment is, the more likely to conceive a boy. Therefore, the female diet can influence the PH balance and affect predicting baby gender. If a girl is desired, the woman should choose foods such as apples, broccoli and fish.

Predicting Baby Gender - Female Orgasms

In conjunction with the PH balance is the opportunity for a woman to orgasm. Surprisingly, whether or not a woman has an orgasm during sexual intercourse can affect gender of baby during pregnancy. When a woman orgasms, the PH balance becomes more alkaline, which is conducive to a boy. Therefore, the woman should avoid having an orgasm altogether. Conversely, if a boy is desired, the woman should have an orgasm just before or at the same time as her male partner.

Predicting Baby Gender - Sex Positions

Believe it or not, the sexual position used during intercourse can influence gender of baby during pregnancy. If hopes are for a girl, focus on shallow penetration positions like the "missionary position". This position will deposit the sperm away from the cervix, therefore giving an advantage to the slower, longer living female sperm. Deep penetration positions, such as rear entry or "doggy-style", can result in a boy. Essentially, the sperm is delivered right to the doorstep of the cervix so the lazy male sperm has less of a distance to travel.

Early Stages Of Pregnancy

Conceiving A Boy Or A Girl In The Early Stages Of Pregnancy
The other day, Igot an email that confused me a little bit so that I felt that I needed to follow up. The writer asked me for "tips and advice to help me produce a boy child in the early and note late stages of pregnancy." I understood from the context that this person was trying to conceive a male baby, but I was confused about her references to the different stages of pregnancy.

It turned out that this writer perceived that there were different points in a baby's conception that gender was determined. She even perceived that, if she was able to do different things or make some changes, she could change the gender that was already determined. In other words, her theory was that if she had conceived a girl, she could perhaps make some changes early in the pregnancy that could eventually mean that she would have a boy instead. This perception was way off, which Iexplained to her. I will explain this process, and how you can use it to help you conceive a boy, in the following article.

When Your Baby's Gender Is Determined: This might sound repetitive, but I have to say it. You only get one chance at your baby's sex or gender. This is determined once your egg is successfully fertilized and there is nothing that you can do after this fact to influence or change it. (I suspect that my writer actually meant to say "early in ovulation" rather than pregnancy, but this wasn't accurate either.

Still, in the weeks and months that lead up to when you are trying to conceive, you do have some control over the things that you do, use, and try to ready your body for conception. The way that you do these things can also affect your baby's gender as well.

Tips To Produce A Male Or Boy Child At The Point Of Conception: Obviously, I could not offer my reader the exact advice that she asked for because there was only one time where she could really make a difference. However, this was not really "in the early stages of pregnancy." This was at the point of pregnancy. The early stages of pregnancy are, unfortunately, going to be a bit too late for our purposes.

That doesn't mean though, that the time period before the month that you actually want to get pregnant are not fair game. This is the time when you want to be very aggressive about finding a regimen that is going to give you the best chance of producing that male that you want.

Here are the things that are going to help you to do this: a late conception, an alkaline environment, and deeper sexual positions. There are very specific reasons for each of these things, but the common denominator between all of these things is that you're trying to give the fast moving but weaker Ysperm the kid gloves that they often require. Conceiving much later in the month (rather than the pregnancy cycle) will allow less of them to have been destroyed, increasing their chances. Using deeper penetration gives the guys who will often die off in a long and arduous journey less time on their travels since the distance is not as strenuous.

Speaking of strenuous, acidic surroundingsare also very detrimental tomale making sperm. That's why you need to go alkaline. Now, this is probably going to take you longer than the few days that make up the "early stages" of pregnancy." So make sure that you give yourself a very generous time frame.

My best tips are these. Begin monitoring your ovulation at least three months before you actually want to come pregnant. If you are very regular, you can perhaps shave some time off of this. But, many people are surprised to find that they were wrong all along. Check your PH reading at this same time. If you are already alkaline, you won't need to be as aggressive, but you'll still want to get it as low as you can. If you are acidic, you really should only begin considering conceiving until you are well lower in terms of PH. And, in terms of sexual positions, don't just go by what the books tell you offers deep penetration, go by what actually accomplishes this for you and your partner.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Early Signs Of Pregnancy

Very Early Signs Of Pregnancy - Do You Know The 10 Pregnancy Signs?
Very early signs of pregnancy - are there 10 pregnancy signs? Yes, there are signs that indicate very early that you are pregnant. Some women will experience one or two of them, others will have several of the very early signs of pregnancy.

Once you have conceived, it will take about a week for the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. As implantation happens, it is now possible to experience one or more of the 10 pregnancy signs and begin to know you are pregnant. Around this time, hormone levels begin to change, and the body reacts to these new hormone levels.

Here are 10 pregnancy signs:

1. Light Spotting - if you have conceived, spotting can happen when implantation occurs before your menstrual period should begin. Pregnancy bleeding from implantation is pinkish or brownish and not heavy. A normal menstrual flow should begin light, become heavy, then taper off again before ending.

2. More Frequent Urination - urinating more often is one of the very early signs of pregnancy. Many women experience more frequent urination even before a missed period, usually from about 7-12 days after the temperature rise at ovulation. The changes in hormone levels produced by implantation of the embryo, especially the hormone "human chorionic gonadotropin" (hCG), cause more frequent urination.

3. Elevated Body Temperature - it is normal to have an increase in body temperature at ovulation. Your basal body temperature staying elevated after ovulation is completed and remaining elevated through when your period should begin can be one of the very early signs of pregnancy.

4. Missing a Menstrual Period - a missed period is one of the obvious 10 pregnancy signs. However, you can miss a period for other reasons including illness, stress, hormone imbalance and reactions to foods or medications. If your menstrual cycle normally occurs very regularly, missing a period can be a sign.

5. Fatigue - lack of energy as one of the very early signs of pregnancy may be hard to distinguish from other kinds of exhaustion. Feeling tired is related to the change in hormones in the body, which usually disappears as the body adjusts to the new hormone levels.

6. Cramping - the uterus can contract often and regularly. Moving around, exercise and orgasm all can trigger uterine cramping in early pregnancy.

7. Nausea - morning sickness is the name given to feeling nauseated when pregnant. Of the 10 pregnancy signs, only about half of pregnant women experience nasea, and feeling nauseated can happen any time of the day or night.

8. Tender Nipples and Breasts - one of the very early signs of pregnancy is a feeling of tenderness in the breasts and nipples. The good news is that these feelings of tenderness go away as the body becomes accustomed to the new hormone levels.

9. Darker Areolas - the area around the nipples becomes darker as early as one week after conception. The bumps on the areolas may look more prominent.

10. Constipation - you may notice a change in your bowels in early pregnancy. The intestines may relax and function less due to changing hormones and be one of the 10 pregnancy signs.

Once the very early signs of pregnancy are experienced, confirm pregnancy by using one of the better home pregnancy tests. There are major differences in the reliability of the home tests for pregnancy. A blood pregnancy test can be accurate as early as 8 to 10 days after conception, and a urine pregnancy test can be accurate as early as 10 to 14 days following conception. Pregnancy tests are not 100% accurate. If you feel you are pregnant but your pregnancy test result is negative, do the test again in a week or so and see your physician.

Remember to take good care of yourself and your body even before you become pregnant. Give up smoking and alcohol, eat healthy and begin exercising. Those first few weeks and your health are vitally important to help support healthy development of your new baby. Becoming pregnant and enjoying a successful pregnancy is a complex but wonderful experience. Besides knowing the 10 pregnancy signs, learn as much as you can about fertility, pregnancy and your health so your new baby will have the very best beginning to life that is possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are some early signs of pregnancy?
    I think i might be pregnant, me and my partner are TTC, my period is 7 days late the only signs i have had so far are feeling tired and going to the toilet to wee more often! What other early pregnancy signs are there? My temprature is slightly high today, i havnt got a UTI i just got checked for that and its not a UTI, i did a HPT 4 days ago and it came back negative could i possibly be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Frequent peeing DOES happen this early and its because of hormones. Just later in pregnancy it gets worse due to the size of the baby. You may get mild cramps, breast sensitivity, food aversions, cravings, nausea, vomiting, etc. Every woman is different though. I would go get a blood test done to make sure. You can't always rely on home tests because false negatives are fairly common.

    • ANSWER:
      well usually the symptoms start two weeks after conception. Symptoms include breast tenderness, fatigue, light cramping (implantation), implantation bleeding, food cravings, nausea, headaches and backaches, frequent urination, darkening of the areolas. Women are different though. Some may get all the symptoms while others don't get any of them at all. The best way to find out if you are pregnant is a home pregnancy test.

It's been 5 weeks since mylast period but just now I found some spotting and it's a light orange. Ever since I first got my period it's ALWAYS started heavy and normal color. It's never once been different. What's going on?

    Thank You!

    • ANSWER:
      My very first symptom was constant cramps over a week before AF was due. I usually don't start cramping until right before. I had a lot of trouble sleeping and would wake up hot(still do at 5 weeks). I would also wake up with a stuffy nose. I also get a small headache almost everyday. Of course my boobs were sore, but more so, plus they were swollen. I got my first faint BFP on 10dpo on the cheap dollar tree tests. (Get you some of those. I bought 10 so that I could test as much as I wanted) even if you see the faintest line it is most likely accurate. On 13dpo I took an EPT test (just to make sure) and the line was super dark and showed up before the control line did!!! Still at 5 weeks I am haviing cramping now and then and heaviness in uterus. Plus my boobs still hurt really bad and they have increased at least one cup size. Oh did I mention exhaustion?! Can't get enough sleep. Good luck to you girl! Hope you get the news you want.
      P.S. My husband and I are planning on naming our baby Emily if its a girl!! I think its the sweetest name in the world!

  8. QUESTION:
    veryy early signs of pregnancy before missed period?
    im due for my period around the thirteenth of this month, and i had unprotected sex on the 24th of august, which means its been about 10 days.
    i've starting getting hungry all the time, have period like cramps, mood swings, and have been lightheaded and dizzy.

    is it just all in my head or could these be early pregnancy signs?

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds like you need to wait and see. You normally eat more before a period as your body prepares. If you get bleeding in the next 2-6 days, that is more spotting than flow, implantation may have occurred. But your mood swings are probably your worry about the unprotected sex more than hormonal swings.

      My suggestion wait and see. If you are pregnant what wonderful news if not there is always next month.
      So you can know with out having to ask complete strangers if your pregnant or not you might what to get Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler, MPH. That book will teach you about your body enough that you and only you can know if you are pregnant by the 10th day.

  9. QUESTION:
    Early signs of pregnancy and am I pregnant?
    Me and my partner have been trying for a baby for a year and we tried to time it right with ovulation days etc but until Oct we didn't have time. A week ago we timed the intercourse right for the ovulation day and the day before. Past couple of days I've had light cramping and my nipples are red and sore. Also my womb area is very tense when I rub it (the skin I mean) and feels a little swollen. Are these signs of early pregnancy or am I just getting my hopes up?

    • ANSWER:
      Those do sound like pregnancy signs, best thing to do is take a pregnancy test the day your period is due or after, also try not to think about it too much (easier said than done I know) and not stress out, it will happen when it's meant to happen.
      Before I found out I was pregnant I had what felt like period cramps and tender down there it really felt like my period was coming, anyway good luck and I hope you're pregnant *sends you some baby dust*

  10. QUESTION:
    Early signs of pregnancy before missed period for teens?
    I think my girlfriend that is 16 might be pregnant. She thinks she gonna have her period but its 2 days late and she does have bloating and cramps, but no cravings, fatigue, or headaches like early pregnancy gives. Can someone please help me out?

    • ANSWER:
      I am 16 years old and 22 weeks pregnant. My period was only a day late when I got a positive test. It's very hard to tell because there really aren't symptoms that early, and you feel cramps that feel just like period cramps when really its your uterus growing. Your best bet is to have her take tests. More than 1 (I'd suggest about 3) because the first one I took was wrong! Good luck!

  11. QUESTION:
    What are early signs of pregnancy?
    I'm really not sure if I am or not, but I'm curious. What are some signs of early pregnancies? If possible, could you explain to me how you felt during the early stages of pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:

  12. QUESTION:
    could these be a very early signs of pregnancy?
    I have been having really mild dull stomach aches for a few days now. Today my left boob has been really itchy. I had intercourse on the 19th so just wondering if these could be REALLY early pregnancy signs or maybe signs of successfully conceiving? Many thanks. P.s please dont start making assumptions that i do not want a baby because i am trying.
    oh yeas forgot to say, cant be period coming yet as not due on for 2 weeks-ish.

    • ANSWER:
      To be honest it doesn't sound like it. But stressing and worrying about 'am I / aren't I?' will make you less likely to conceive. Relax and continue your life as normal- you'll have some pretty clear evidence in the next month or so.

  13. QUESTION:
    Flu like symptoms related to early signs of pregnancy?
    Two nights ago I spent the whole day sleeping and the whole night puking. The only symptoms I had were slight back aches and puking, and I never once ran a fever. I have not thrown up since Tuesday morning but I feel it coming on again. So I was just wondering if this could in any way be early pregnancy symptoms or if it just sounds like a 24 hour virus. Thank you so much for your replies.

    • ANSWER:
      I would think back to when your last period was. If it was over 30 days unless your irregular then do a test. Better safe than sorry. Also maybe speak to your doctor as they are able to do a blood test which will advise you if your pregnant before the test can. Only because You say your feeling ill still. So if its not pregnancy then maybe you might need medication for the bug

  14. QUESTION:

  19. QUESTION:
    what are the early signs of pregnancy like?
    i know what the early signs of pregnancy are but what i mean is, is there a different feeling to these symptoms such as sore boobs when you are due on your period rather than being pregnant? did you have a feeling you were pregnant because you felt different?
    im ttc, have been for three months, due on the 2nd nov but having early pregnancy symptoms but may be because period is due.
    thanks x

    • ANSWER:
      our first two months of trying I was convinced I was pregnant because i was having "symptoms" which turned out to just be PMS. the third month I had really bad cramps (which made me think that it was another period month) and one day both of my legs cramped up really bad, kind of like if you were running all day and then my eyes looked really glassy.i had NO other symptoms. No boobs, no nausea, no sensitivity to smell, etc. I tested positive that month the day of my missed period. I know it's frustrating, trust me, but everyone is completely different. I always told my husband that it would be so much easier if we just glowed red when we got pregnant so we didnt have to wait those dreaded 14 days to find out for sure. Good luck!

  20. QUESTION:

    Ok, so what are the really early signs?
    Is it too early to know after just 1 or 2 weeks?
    When can the first Pregnancy test tell us if she is pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      After 2 weeks i had period like cramps and sore nipples. You can do a preg test afew days before your due for your period but it may not be accurate. Its most accurate if you test when you period is due or afew days after.

      Unfortunately period and early pregnancy signs are pretty much just alike, so the only way to know is to take a test if you miss your period (if your regular) dont stress or it will make u miss or have a late period and u'll get ur hopes up if ur ttc.

  25. QUESTION:
    What are some of the early, early signs of pregnancy?
    Right now it feels like I'm about to have my period but I know it's too soon and my breasts are hurting a little bit. But my breasts always hurt when my period is coming so I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. That's why I want to know some of early signs of pregnancy because it has only been maybe two weeks. But me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby so I hope so but I don't want to get my hopes up too high. So can anyone tell some of the early signs. (Like two week symptoms maybe; if that is possible at all)

    • ANSWER:
      I have heard a lot of women say they have a little higher temp. Cramping like mega PMS with no blood, Head aches and nausea some with hurting bb's some with out, slight back aches.

  26. QUESTION:
    what are the early signs of pregnancy in a breast feeding mother?
    i am breast feeding a five month old. and i suspect that i might be pregnant. what are the early signs of pregnancy in women that are breast feeding?

    • ANSWER:
      I am breastfeeding my 10 month old and am 9 weeks pregnant with #5. My earliest pregnancy sign was extreme breast/nipple tenderness, fatigue and drowsiness, and frequent urination. My periods were very sparodic and never on a regular monthly cycle, so I never trusted a missed period. We were charting our fertility and trying to conceive again so I took a pregnancy test after I was at least 10 days past my "expected" period date. I was about 5 weeks pregnant when I took my first pregnancy test and it was negative. I'm assuming I didn't have enough human growth hormone for the urine test to detect. But I waited, and a week later, I took another pregnancy test and it was positive.

      I would say that pregnancy symptoms are similar to non-nursing women, but I only experienced morning sickness with my very first child and none afterwards. If you feel that you are pregnant, take a test. If it's negative, and you still think you're pregnant, wait a week and test again. If you are still experiencing pregnancy symptoms but aren't pregnant, call your dr or ob/gyn and get some blood work done to rule out anything serious. If you are pregnant and still want to continue breastfeeding, you can! There is no medical research done that has proven adverse effects on fetus or baby while the mother is nursing and pregnant. You might want to contact your local La Leche League or mother's group for resource and support. Congratulations if you are pregnant and best of luck!

  27. QUESTION:
    signs of really early pregnancy or maybe it's all in my head?
    i had sex about a week and a half ago.
    about 3 days before that i missed two days of birth control pills.
    i took 2 birthcontrol regulary before i had sex. and one that day right after too.
    maybe i'm just paranoid.
    i mean i dont exhibit any signs..but i keep feeling my stomach thinking that i am.
    is there any real early signs of pregnancy? and what are the chances that i am?

    • ANSWER:
      it can take up to 6 days for the sperm to fertilize the egg and up to six more for the egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. There are no signs of pregnancy this early. Yes it is possible for a women taking birth control to get pregnant, the best thing to do is don't stress. Wait until your normal period is due and if it doesn't come take a test! best of luck!

  28. QUESTION:
    Are these signs of an early pregnancy?
    Had sex 10 days ago just before ovulation and during ovulation too. Last night the pain in my back was so bad i could hardly stand ( lower back) last night the pain in my tummy woke me up. Like a sharp and stab in my stomach and it has continued today.

    Last night i also had some nausea.

    Today, which is morning now, i have a hightened sense of smell and am extremely fatigued and also peeing a lot. No stinging or burning or any discomfort associated with that.

    No bleeding so far.

    Could this be VERY early signs of pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      They could very well be. Then again it could all just be you tricking yourself into it.

      I got pregnant while on my period and had symptoms a week later. hot/cold flashes, nausea, headache, cramps/bad stomach pains. I didn't have hightened senses that early.

      I've also known many women who worried over being pregnant or wanted so badly to be pregnant that they gave themselves all of the supposed symptoms of pregnancy.

      Every woman responds differently because not all bodies were made the same. To be safe/sure the earliest you can test is five days before a missed period...which (to no surprise) may or may not present positive depending on how your body functions, since it tests a specific hormone.

  29. QUESTION:
    Early signs of pregnancy and when to expect them?
    What are common early signs of pregnancy and when to expect them? I'm saying, week by week what happens from weeks 1-6.
    Am I pregnant?
    I have horrible cycles and I recently went in to have an ultrasound on my ovaries. I did not even think of pregnancy at this point, would an ultrasound of that sort had noticed anything if I were, say, four weeks pregnant?

    I also had a check up with my OB/GYN a few days ago just to check things out, which would have been 5 weeks, would she have noticed anything?

    Extra information: I'm young.

  30. QUESTION:
    what are the early signs of pregnancy?
    Me and my boyfriend had sex about 2 weeks ago, and i have been having a real bad stomach cramp. I also have been throwing up, sick a lot, and always tired. I need to know all the early signs of pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      Heartburn
      Nausea
      Cramps
      Feeling tired
      Mood swings
      Missed period
      Vaginal discharge
      Sore breasts

      These are all that I can think of. Early pregnancy is a lot like when your period is coming. Not everyone experiences them all, some only experience a few. Others don't experience them at all.

  31. QUESTION:
    Could these be early signs of pregnancy?
    Had unprotected sex on July 10th and 11th. Now I am experiencing mild cramping and tiny pinches in lower abdomen also have a lot of vaginal discharge. Discharge is whitish and creamy. Do you think this could be signs of early pregnancy

    • ANSWER:
      this sounds to me more like signs of ovulation, not signs of early pregnancy. you are only a few days from having sex, so it would be way too early for symptoms at this point.

    • ANSWER:

  35. QUESTION:
    Well i had sex about 3 weeks ago and i think i may be pregnant what are the early signs of pregnancy?
    Plus, i was suppose to have my period 5 days ago but when it came it was a dark pink, and not heavy at all like my usual periods, plus i've been having really bad cramps, i think my breast are getting bigger but they dont hurt, and i havent been throwing up. Also, my last day of my so called period was like spotting, so thats why i'm not sure if i'm pregnant, and i'm not sure what the signs really are for early pregnancy. I dont think i have a lump yet on my stomack only really bad cramps.

    • ANSWER:
      Spotting, and mild cramping can be an indication of implantation bleeding, a common pregnancy symptom. Implantation bleeding is usually very light, spotty and its sporadic. It often occurs around the time a lady is due her period, and it lasts about 2-3 days. Its often associated with mild "period like pains."

      While symptoms vary greatly from one woman to another, here are some common, possible signs of pregnancy:

      Changes to your breasts. Tenderness and enlargement can occur as early as a week after conception. You also may notice the areolas, or rings around your nipples, darken and veins become more visible.

      Nausea and vomiting. Morning sickness can occur anytime of the day or night and may begin one or two weeks after conception.

      Fatigue. While this is common in the first weeks, it often continues into your first trimester and may last throughout your pregnancy.

      Slight spotting or cramping.

      Frequent urination. You may feel the need to use the bathroom more often about six to eight weeks after conception, as your uterus puts pressure on your bladder.

      Other symptoms may include: constipation, elevated body temperature, headaches, dizziness, backaches, lower abdominal cramps, excessive salivation, heartburn and food cravings.

  36. QUESTION:
    Are these really early signs of pregnancy?
    I ovulated on wednesday and I know you have a high temperature and discharge. But its now Friday and I've still got these and I don't normally have them carried on. Are these early signs of pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes a high temperature is good but it should dip around 7-9 days after ovulation, this is called an implantation dip, and should get high again, if it doesn't then you are not pregnant. The month I was pregnant my discharge stayed the same as ovulation and the months I wasn't it just went back white or I had none.

  37. QUESTION:
    What are the early signs of pregnancy and how early can they start?
    Idk if its a sign or not but for the past week and a half or so I have been having horrible headaches and also feel a little nausceous. Me and my boyfriend always use a condom but I know this isnt 100 percent effective. Also I should get my period tuesday and normally by now Id feel cranky and bloated but I dont. How early do signs show up?
    I have also been very emotional more so than I usually am

    • ANSWER:
      its different for everyone however my experience... i didnt get my period then my boobs started to really hurt

  38. QUESTION:
    When do early signs of pregnancy start?
    When you the earliest signs of pregnancy start occuring? I know everyone is different, but when did yours start?

    • ANSWER:
      Not until I was about 3-4 weeks, when my period was 6 days late, but even then it wasn't anything that was huge. My breasts were fuller, not really sore. I was emotional and I just felt "different"

      The earliest sign would be implantation cramping/spotting. And this can occur 6-12 days after ovulation. Not everyone has it, though. Most pregnancy symptoms start when your period is due, or late, and can easily be mistaken for PMS.

  39. QUESTION:
    What are some really really early signs of pregnancy?
    I've been having some weird things go on with my body the last few days and i didn't know if it was too soon to tell whether i'm pregnant or not. I am taking Yaz or Yasmin the birth control pill and I missed one last week working late and my husband and I have had intercourse since I just don't want to go out and get a pregnancy test .... any early signs i could watch out for so i can brace myself or will one pill even matter??

    • ANSWER:
      As long as you had been taking the pill for at least 2 weeks one missed pill cannot generally be enough to get pregnant. The hormones should still be off whack enough to keep you from getting pregnant. Now some people do get pregnant on birth control without missing any, so anything is possible. First thing I noticed other than the lack of a period was my boobs are super sore. Also slight cramps as things expand down there.

  40. QUESTION:
    What are the most common early signs of pregnancy?
    What are the most common early signs of pregnancy? WIll u experience them all?thanks

    • ANSWER:
      1st of all everyone is different, the 1st thing that I started to feel at 4 weeks was painful sore breasts. Then 6-7 weeks still sore breast and morning sickness started. 8-9 weeks morning sickness what at it's worse. 11-12 I'm starting to eat more now I lost 8lb in my 1st trimester.

  41. QUESTION:
    Do you remember your early signs of pregnancy?
    Hey! I was just wondering if you remembered your early signs of pregnancy.. Im curious. Im feeling rough like I felt before I had my miscarriage and Im wondering if I may be pregnant again.

    • ANSWER:
      I actually didn't even have any early signs at all with both my pregnancies. With my first I didn't even know I was pregnant till I was 20 weeks(started to gain a little weight, so I tested myself) and with my second not till I was 13 weeks. Then everything went very smooth throughout both pregnancies and even the births were very smooth. First one lasted about 3-4 hours and the second baby practically slipped right out in 2 hours. I had no IVs or epidurals, there was no time for those.

  42. QUESTION:
    What are the most common early signs of pregnancy, before pregnancy test?
    My husband and I have been trying to conceive. I should not have my next menstrual cycle until approx May 6. I have been having period-like cramps, more frequent urination and also more discharge than usual. I am wondering if these are signs of pregnancy.

    • ANSWER:
      If your not due for your period to May 6th then you likely woul dhave ovulated around Apri 22-24rd. So if you successfully conceived then, you may not have even implanted yet (it can take 10 days). It is very unlikely you would be experiencing symptoms only days into a pregnancy. I'm not saying you aren't pregnant, I'm just saying those symptoms are likely a result of something else. I personally try not to stay in-tune to my body to much during my Two Week Wait, because I will drive myself crazy with every cramp, itch, ache, yawn, etc LOL

      Wouldnt it be great if there was some tell-tale early pregnancy sign! Unfortunately there really isnt. There are women who "swear" they had signs as early as 1 week after ovulation -- everything from nasuea, sore nipples, veiny nipples, tiredness, cramps, urination, etc etc. But the majority of women and statistical data shows most traditional early pregnancy symptoms dont begin until you are 3-4 weeks into your pregnancy. I personally believe alot of the people who claim to have had those very early pregnancy signs either had them for another unrelated reason (i.e. tiredness or nausea due to a cold, or something they ate), or even more likely -- they were just "in their mind" so to speak.

      What makes it even more confusing and hard to detect early pregancy is that many early pregnancy symtpoms are identical or very simliar to pre-menstrual symptoms.

      Anyway -- to answer your question, yes there are people who will say frequent urination, discharge, and cramps all can signal early pregnancy. But the best "early pregnancy sign" is a missed period and/or positive pregnancy test.

  43. QUESTION:
    What are some early signs of pregnancy during the first week(s)?
    I have been so sick this past week or so. Some days I can barely keep my food down. I took a test a little over a week ago, but honestly, I think its too early for it to tell. What are some signs and common things to look for during the first weeks of being pregnant? Any tips or advise would be great as well!!

    • ANSWER:
      Its too early for you to be that sick! Chances are you have the flu but here are symptoms you could look for: Breast tenderness, darkening of the nipples, nausea, vomiting, headaches, etc.

  44. QUESTION:
    What were your early signs of pregnancy?
    I have a feeling I might be pregnant. I have been reading online about what the early signs are but I wanted some first hand accounts.

    What symptoms made you first suspect you might be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      boobs.
      the sudden and dramatic increase in the size of my boobs let me know that i was pregnant at least a week before i was able to take a test.
      the rest of the symptoms didn't start until around week 6, with nausea, fatigue, and moodiness.

  45. QUESTION:
    could i be having early signs of pregnancy?
    I've been sick since thursday and have been nauseous at times along with back pain,alot of gas, and extreme tiredness at times. i only feel better when i eat or drink something but right wen i stop i feel sick again. could this be early signs of pregnancy? or just a virus?

    • ANSWER:
      sounds like it could be either.. all you can really do is wait it out until time to take a preg test.

Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Very Early Pregnancy Symptoms Cramping Occasional, short-lived abdominal discomfort is commonly found among the very early pregnancy symptoms; cramping signals hormonal changes and the enlargement of the uterus. It can be associated with many normal causes, though it can also be a sign of something more serious. 
Harmless abdominal pain is one of the very early pregnancy symptoms. Cramping can be caused by gas and bloating, constipation, and Braxton-Hicks contractions. If the pain doesnt subside, and/or it is accompanied by spotting, bleeding, fever, chills, vaginal discharge, faintness, discomfort while urinating, or nausea and vomiting, it may indicate a problem. 
Abnormal abdominal pain could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants anywhere outside the uterus. A woman will usually feel the symptoms of this condition around six or seven weeks after the fertilization, though they could present earlier, along with other very early pregnancy symptoms. 
Cramping or pelvic pain or tenderness, vaginal spotting or bleeding, pain that gets worse during physical activity or while moving the bowels or coughing, or pain in the tip of the shoulder are all symptoms of ectopic pregnancies. If left untreated, ectopic pregnancies could be fatal. Abdominal pain can also be caused by a miscarriage, or the loss of pregnancy within the first 20 weeks. 
Usually vaginal spotting or bleeding appears first, which can be light or heavy, and may be confused initially with one of the more common very early pregnancy symptoms; cramping then follows, which could be sporadic or persistent; furthermore, the pain could be mild or sharp and may actually feel more like low back pain or pelvic pressure. 
Preterm labor, or contractions that dilate your cervix before 37 weeks of pregnancy, can also cause abnormal abdominal pain. Symptoms include an increase or change in vaginal discharge, vaginal spotting or bleeding, abdominal pain, cramping, or more than four contractions in one hour, an increase in pelvic pressure, low back pain. 
 A serious condition which can cause cramping is placental abruption, when the placenta separates from the uterus, partially or completely, before a baby is born. Symptoms of this condition include sudden bleeding (though bleeding may be absent or light), uterine tenderness, back pain, prolonged uterine contraction, and decrease in activity of the baby. 
 Preeclampsia is another disorder which can lead to abdominal pain; in this condition, blood vessel changes occur and this can affect many organs such as the liver, kidneys, brain, and the placenta. Though one of the important signs of the condition manifests itself among the very early pregnancy symptoms cramping - high blood pressure and protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy are the definitive diagnostic symptoms of the disorder. 
A women suffering from preeclampsia may show swelling in the face or puffiness around the eyes, swelling in the hands, and excessive and sudden swelling of the feet and ankles. When the condition is severe, intense pain or tenderness in the upper abdomen, a severe headache, visual disturbances, and nausea and vomiting could be felt.

Easiest Way To Conceive

Conceive a Girl - the Natural Way
Conceiving a girl might seem like a dream come true. Maybe you want a baby girl as that little princess to complete your family. Maybe you need to conceive a girl for medical reasons. No matter why you need to have a girl, the question is - is there a way to tip the odds in your favour?

The answer - Of course there is.

Medical practices, although invasive and sometimes a highly emotional procedure, can give you an upper hand in gender selection. Microsort, Ericsson method, ICSI and IUI can all improve your chances of conceiving a little girl. The success rates of these methods are varied from around 70% to 90%. The actual success rate of you getting pregnant by one of these methods is where the figures take a drastic dive! You only have a 35% chance of conception when using these methods.

Medical gender selection methods can also go against the grain when it comes to some peoples beliefs and religion. Playing 'God' with medical help is frowned upon and sometimes just not allowed.
So are there any other methods available?

Yes there are... Natural methods of gender selection are becoming more widely available, and more widely used by women who want to conceive a baby of a certain gender. The scientists who founded these natural methods are finally starting to spill the beans, and women all around the world are taking advantage of this 'old' - but well guarded information, and why shouldn't they.

The good thing about natural gender selection is that it also prepares your body for pregnancy, and so it gives you a higher chance of conception altogether.

So for conceiving a girl, what should you do?

Arm yourself with knowledge. The more you know about gender selection and how your body works, the higher your chances of getting pregnant with a little baby girl.
There are certain factors that you should learn about:

You must know when you ovulate.

A slight change to you and your partners diet.

A slight alteration in your body's PH level.

Learn about your man's sperm, two different types, two different speeds and stamina levels!

Certain sexual positions will increase the odds of conceiving a girl.

So how can these very small things help you to conceive a girl? It's bit like a jigsaw, all the pieces fit together to make the bigger picture.

Early Pregnancy Signs

Very Early Symptoms Of Pregnancy - Do You Know These Very Early Pregnancy Signs?
Very early symptoms of pregnancy - what are they? If asked, most women remember their very early pregnancy signs if they have been pregnant before. Some women can detect the moment they begin ovulating, while many women cannot tell when or if they have ovulated. Often, women can detect when the fertile days of their cycle has ended. Some can detect the moment they have become pregnant. And for others, one of the more accurate inexpensive home pregnancy tests is a reliable way to know that the very early symptoms of pregnancy you are having mean you really are pregnant.

Here are the earliest of the very early pregnancy signs:

• Missed Period - missing a menstrual period is an obvious very early pregnancy symptom. However, many women have missed periods for other reasons and conditions. These reasons include illness, stress, hormone imbalance, adverse reactions to foods and ingestion of substances that result in some level of adverse reaction. For a missed period to be one of the very early symptoms of pregnancy, it should be confirmed by other means.

• Morning Sickness - a feeling of nausea in the mornings can be another of the very early symptoms of pregnancy. But this very early pregnancy sign needs to be experienced for several days to be considered reliable. And nausea can have other causes that are not pregnancy related.

• Tender and Enlarged Breasts - very early in pregnancy, the body begins making a series of changes in the normal hormone levels. However, the body is unprepared for these changes when they first occur. There are several changes that will happen in the body in reaction to new hormone levels. One of the most noticable changes occur in the shape of and feelings of tenderness in the breasts. The good news is that these feelings of tenderness go away fairly quickly as the body becomes accustomed to the new hormone chemistry.

• Frequent Trips to the Bathroom - having to urinate more often is one of the very early pregnancy signs. Many women experience more frequent urination even before a missed period. The reason, as with tender and enlarged breasts, is a change in hormone levels produced by implantation of the embryo. A hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced, which has the side effect of causing more frequent urination. This is another of the very early symptoms of pregnancy which can be mistaken for some other condition, or as a reaction to the consumption of various foods or other substances. Pregnancy needs to be confirmed by the results of a pregnancy test.

• Fatigue - the lack of energy as one of the very early pregnancy signs is sometimes hard to distinguish from other kinds of exhaustion. Again, health professionals attribute this fatigue to the change in hormones in the body, which usually disappears as the body adjusts to the new hormone levels.

These are the most common very early pregnancy signs that most women agree on. Some women will experience only one of these signs, and some will have several or all of these very early symptoms of pregnancy. Once the very early pregnancy signs are experienced, confirm pregnancy by using one of the better home pregnancy tests (there are major differences in the reliability of the home tests for pregnancy). And the health of the baby begins with the mothers health and habits before conception as well as during pregnancy. Becoming pregnant and enjoying a successful pregnancy is a complex but wonderful experience. Learn as much as you can about fertility, pregnancy and your health so the brand new person will have the very best beginning to life that is possible.

Easiest Time To Conceive

The Easiest, Most Effective, And Reliable Ways To Conceive A Girl
The methods for conceiving a girl are pretty well known and at first glance seem pretty simple: time conception to occur before ovulation; use intercourse positions that favor having a baby girl; and create an acidic and hostile environment (high PH) that will break down and minimize the numbers and strength of the boy sperm. These methods seem pretty straightforward, but they can leave a lot of room for error if you don't completely understand them or have the tools to achieve them correctly.This article will discuss natural, inexpensive, accurate, and reliable ways and methods you can use to make the process of conceiving a girl much easier.

Know Exactly When You Ovulate Without Relying On A Calendar Or Guessing: Since the sperm that produces a baby girl can survive much longer (up to four days) than the sperm that will produce a boy, you should conceive 3 days before you ovulate and then stop trying.

But, how do you know when you ovulate?There are a couple of natural methods that are often encouraged (basal temperature charts and interpreting your cervical mucus) but these leave so much room for error. Being even slightly off in your estimation as to when you ovulate can mean the difference between a son or a daughter.

And, you can't just assume that you ovulate mid way through your cycle or on day 14, (for a 28 -30 day cycle)even if you have a regular period.(I am very regular and I found I ovulate on day 20!) A more accurate and easy way to know when you should conceive is by using an ovulation predictor kit. Of these, I prefer saliva ovulation predictors as you aren't forced to use first morning urine. They are inexpensive, reusable, and you cantest any time you wish. Using a saliva predictor, you can see even small changes to tip you off that ovulation is coming. Doing this will allow you to anticipate your ovulation down the road with total accuracy so can plan when is the best time to conceive your daughter.

Use Sexual Positions That Favor Conceiving A Girl: It's pretty common knowledge that different intercourse positions will favor getting a boy or a girl, but do you know why? It's because the boy sperm are weak and are quick to die off (although they are also faster), so if you want a girl, you want to use positions that place the sperm far away from the egg and the cervix.This gives those little guys a long, hard trip.

Most couples who want a baby girl assume this is the missionary position and it can be for many people, but, depending upon the height of you and your partner and other considerations, there may be better options for your specific situation, such as the spooning position or others. Don't be afraid to experiment before you actually try for real.

Creating A High Enough PH / A Hostile Environment To Conceive A Girl: It's pretty well known that a high PH / acidic vaginal environment favors conceiving a baby girl because the boy sperm just can not survive in this harsh environment for very long.

You can get this high PH by eating acidic foods (and avoiding alkaline ones) and by douching with specific solutions.Using both methods will help you achieve this goal much faster, but you can get a "girl friendly PH" just using foods if you're willing to be diligent about it and can have a bit more patience.

But how do you know if you have a high enough PH to conceive a girl or how far you need to go to get there? You use PH vaginal testing strips. This will tell you your exact PH and will ensure that you know when you've obtained your optimal reading and are ready to conceive a female baby.You can get these at health food stores or online.They also allow you to monitor your douching and acidic diet efforts so you can know when you should stop and start trying to conceive.

If your reading shows that you are naturally alkaline, you'll have to work a bit harder (and boys may run in your family) but by no means isgetting a pink nurseryimpossible. Countless people have done it and you can too.

I hope this article has shown you that with the right tools, it can be quite easy to get the daughter you want. I've put together a website that takes a lot of the guess work out of conceiving a girl. You'll find resources for the food lists, specialty douche recipes, saliva ovulation predictors, and PH testing strips discussed in this article.

Does Precum Get You Pregnant

Fertility Vitamins and Prenatal Vitamins
Many women are either confused about what to look for in fertility vitamins or they don't see the need to take vitamins at all. Let me take some time to explain why vitamin supplements are necessary in order to increase your fertility as well as why prenatal vitamins are necessary prior to and during pregnancy for you and your unborn child. Most women don't get the vitamins and minerals needed from the food they eat from day to day. We would have to eat a whole lot of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains in order to get the balance of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to thrive and be our healthiest.

Women's vitamins are especially important when a woman is trying to conceive and during pregnancy. These are specifically called prenatal vitamins.

Prenatal vitamins supply a rich assortment of vitamins and minerals to help a woman conceive and bring forth a healthy baby. These vitamins and minerals are necessary to help keep our hormones balanced and our nervous system running smoothly as well as keeping all our organs functioning optimally.
Let me stress - We all need to take a multivitamin and multi mineral supplement to make up for what is lacking in the food we eat. Even the best diet in the world will not give you all the nutrients you need for your best chance at getting pregnant and bringing forth an optimally healthy child.

So what do you look for? What are the qualities of the best fertility vitamins and prenatal vitamin supplements?

Well, I'm no expert. But I can tell you what I took that helped me to be more fertile and energetic and have a trouble-free pregnancy. I looked into several prenatal vitamins before choosing what I believe to be the best multi vitamin supplement that's all natural and made from organically-grown plant compounds (see below). The other prenatal vitamins were synthetically made with artificial coloring.

I also ate lots of fruits and vegetables and drank a lot of purified water. (See my Preconception page for more on this.) Make sure your multivitamin has at least 400 mcg of folic acid (I took 800 mcg daily) in order to prevent neural tube defects in your unborn baby. This neural tube develops within the first month of life, so it's important to get enough folic acid before you get pregnant.

* Remember that even the best multi vitamin supplement won't replace eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, meats, and drinking lots of purified water. Both a healthy diet and a great multi vitamin supplement are needed to increase your fertility and ensure that you have a healthy pregnancy.

Due Date Calculator

Due date calculator mystery
A pregnancy due date calculator is not an accurate method to estimate the day your baby will born. The basic logical behind this is to predict the due date according to the date you conceived. You can also use a due date calculator in backward. For example if you know the duration of your pregnancy until this day, you can use the pelvic test to predict the date of conception. Due date calculator can be very useful for women who are irregular. All you need to know is the day of your last menstrual period.

There are lots of websites on the internet that dedicated to the question: what is my due date? some are very simple and some very complicated. The best answer to this question is to be aware to your pregnancy development. There are different step in every pregnancy which can give you clues. For example morning sickness is a symptom that occurs only in the first trimester of the pregnancy. Knowing when you enter to the third trimester will help you to prepare better to the birth day.

Dont be disappointed or too surprised as stated before the due date calculators give only obscure picture, so if you passed the day your baby should be born (according to the due date calculator) dont be too nervous about it, it will take few more days but eventually it will happen. And if you conceived before that day, its also natural as the average pregnancy last 40 weeks.

Giving a birth is a very exciting experience and some factors such as the exact due date will still remains a mystery.

Dos And Don Ts Of Getting Pregnant

The Do's And Don'ts Of Getting Pregnant With A Boy Baby
I often write articles for couples who are trying to conceive a boy baby. Most of the time, I'm instructing them what to do in order to make this happen. But, what not to do is every bit as important as what you should be doing. So, in the following article, I'll go over some of the do's and don'ts for couples who are trying to conceive or get pregnant with a boy baby.

The Do's ForGetting Pregnant WithA Boy Baby:

Do Understand Exactly What Needs To Happen In Order For You To Be Successful: If you broke this down to it's most basic components, what you need to have happen is for the Y sperm chromosomes to fertilize your egg. So every part of your regimen is going to need to address this in an attempt to set up every variable for success. You will need to address your timing (when you conceive.) And, you'll need to address your acidity and PH. Finally, you'll need to look at the sexual positions you use when you're attempting to get pregnant.

These are the most important things to understand and to focus on. Placing your focus on external things other than this will usually just distract you and give you too much to think about. You want to strip the process down to it's most basic levels: timing, PH, sexual positions, and ensuring that the Y chromosomes have the most advantages that you can give them.

Do Give Yourself Enough Time And Effort To Have Success: One of the biggest mistakes that I see couples make is that they will place their focus on only one variable. They will focus on getting their timing right but they won't even check their PH. Or, they'll worry about their sexual positioning but they'll just try this during any point of the month and then hope for the best. In order to have the greatest change of successfully getting a boy baby (and I've heard you can get it up to somewhere over 90%) then you have to be very deliberate about all of the three variables. Not only that, but you need to use the tools that allow you to have accurate information that doesn't rely upon guessing.

Because there may come a day when the timing is right, but the PH is off or vice versa. If this is the case, you're often better off waiting until you can get all of the variables right. This is what I mean when I say that you should give yourself enough time to have success.

The Don'ts For Getting Pregnant With A Boy Baby:

Don't Make Assumptions That May Not Be True: Other than not having a complete regimen, another mistake that I often see is that people make assumptions without actually testing. In other words, they assume that they ovulate half way through their cycle. Or, they assume that rear entry sexual positions are accomplishing the deep penetration that's advised for a baby boy conception. Or, they'll assume that because they're adding a few alkaline foods to their diet, that their PH is where it needs to be.

You don't need to make assumptions. You can use the tools that let you know exactly what you are dealing with. There are many inexpensive and reliable ovulation predictors and PH testers that can do this. You don't need to guess about your ovulation or about your PH. And, you can experiment with different sexual positions before you actually try to conceive.

Don't Fall Short When You're So Close To The Prize: Many people get excited about their regimen at first. But, when they begin to see results, they might take a few days off or back off somewhat. It's so important that you don't do this. You really do need to test your ovulation and your acidity on a daily basis. This is the only way to know if you're where you need to be when the time is right. If you are able to do this, then there will come a day when you see (rather than guess) that you've ovulated. At that time, you should be able to test your PH and see that it's right where it needs to be. And, by then you will have hopefully already decided on the sexual position unique to you that best achieves deep penetration.

But, if you back off of any of these variables, you run the risk of making yourself vulnerable to the much stronger X (or girl producing) sperm, which means that you might conceive a girl rather than a boy.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of controlling and choosing your baby's gender. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, and tips plus support.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    CLOMID: The Dos and Don'ts?
    It's absolutely impossible to get answers from my GYN's office because you wait on "HOLD" forever. Just a warning that the following may be TMI.

    So I finished my 2nd cycle of Clomid (Days 5-9) on 10/31. We had sex every day starting from my 1st Clomid pill until 11/6. I would have preferred to BD past the 6th but I have been fighting a yeast infection for about 2 months now.

    Now that I think about it. I really don't know the dos and don’ts. Here is a list of what I’m not sure on:

    Does drinking decaf (about 2 cups) 5 days a week affect your chances of pregnancy?

    Does a yeast infection affect your chances of getting pregnant? Does it affect sperm life? My husband's sperm scored an A+ in his semen analysis. Strength and numbers were good.

    I was prescribed Diflucan and took my pill yesterday to see if it will finally rid me of my yeast infection. I have absolutely no symptoms at all except the little white clumps. If I’m pregnant, will this affect the baby? In the warnings, it only stated that Diflucan passes to the breast milk.

    • ANSWER:
      yes coffee affects chances of pregnancy. my doctor said that i should limit to 1 cup a day, but try to avoid it as much as i can.

      yes a yeast infection might affect your chances as well, because it will provide a hostile environment for the sperm cells to swim in.

  2. QUESTION:
    dos and don'ts of pregnancy?
    One of my friends asked me this question. I was not able to answer anything about her question, so I am posting here the same question. Let me see who can answer it. This is the Question dude...
    Pregnant woman can watch horror/romantic/pornographic/comedy/action videos, will it be harmful to the baby? If she is about to watch an action movie with full of fight scene, what will happen to the baby, in its future will it become a fighter? If she is about to watch a pornographic movies and got orgasm, what will be the unborn baby's reaction? In its future will it become a sex addict ? If she is about to watch a comedy movie will the baby become a comedian in its future ?

    • ANSWER:
      You can watch any movie you would like... A movie in itself can't cause the baby harm or cause him to be a fighter...
      The only thing that will affect the baby is how it affect the mother...
      It is bad for a mother to feel extremely nervous or scared or emotional...
      Though... if you have an orgasm while pregnant the baby will feel it because your uterus contracts but it does not hurt him/her and certainly doesn't mean they will be a sex addict...
      The baby may kick you a bit for disturbing their peace but it won't affect the babys personality...
      Babys are born with their personalities no matter what you do before hand...
      It is just something you have to accept and learn to cope with a new little person when he/she comes...

  3. QUESTION:
    Do you think manners need to make a comeback?
    Where Are Our Manners?

    Over the past few years, there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communication. Is it rude to text someone and ask him on a date? When is it appropriate to forward an email? Do we befriend someone on a social networking site we’ve only met once?

    But while we’ve been debating the dos and don’ts of technology etiquette, it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that our parents, grandparents, and teachers taught us—manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor, but have everything to do with the long-forgotten Golden Rule.

    Hold Doors For People.
    This doesn’t just mean men holding doors for women—anyone who has the arm strength to hold a door for someone should.

    Give Up Seats.
    Lizzie Post, great-great granddaughter of Emily Post and author of How Do You Work This Life Thing?, says this is one practice she’d like to see happen more often.

    Most of us were taught that it’s good manners to give up our seat to the elderly, pregnant and physically challenged.

    Let Those Inside The Elevator Exit Before You Enter.
    You know the scene. The elevator doors open and a crowd of people waiting to get on rushes toward you, making it difficult to get out.

    Mind Your Telephone Manners.
    Our chief etiquette concern back in the “olden” days of telephones was remembering to write down a message when someone called.

    But Post says that many of our phone snafus could be corrected if we’d follow one simple rule. “Excusing yourself to take a phone call in a private place is something I’d like to see more of.

    Introduce People.
    In Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget’s friend Shazza nails it when she advises Bridget to “introduce people with thoughtful detail.”

    Say Please, Thank You And You’re Welcome.
    It sounds simple, but the magic words really do work magic. Using them shows our appreciation for what someone is about to do or has done for us.

    Respect Elders.
    Recently someone I know well surprised me by saying that he thought respecting our elders was a silly courtesy since not everyone deserves to be respected just because of his or her age. Touché. But how about simply showing them civility and common courtesy?

    Handwrite Thank-You Notes.
    Paper correspondence in general seems to be a dying practice and unfortunately, handwritten thank-you notes are part of the casualties.

    Sophisticated technology doesn’t mean that good manners have to be a thing of the past.

    • ANSWER:
      Please read to the end, Bud.

      I agree....
      Hold doors for people: And then keep acting like you are going to push it closed into their face. The way they juuuuuump! Oh my goodness...

      Umm, I am not giving up my backside...I think my girlfriend likes it.

      Its more fun to hide just out of site of the opening doors and then jump out with a scream. This is especially effective early in the morning...boy those office folks...

      Since I steal people's cell phones just to watch them panic. I don't have this issue.

      You watched Bridget Jones' Diary? (loud snickering).

      I say these all the time, all three of them consecutively. I get funny looks.

      I live in Florida. Most of my money goes to the nearly dead.

      Better yet. Hand write death threats. Don't be a chicken and clip letters out of a newspaper.

      No. The fact that people suck means that manners have to be a thing of the past.

      Ok. All joking aside. I agree with most of these (except for watching Bridget Jones' Diary ;)
      The fact is that somewhere people have stopped teaching kids to do these things so we have a generation of adults that, as I said, basically suck. Its hard to find good manners in this day and age. Its also hard to find a business that actually treats you like a customer, basic morals, and common sense.

      Unfortunately, the same idiots that are too rude to do any of the things you mentioned are also too self centered to actually read what you wrote. I think it behooves us as a race to have good manners, more than a need but I have doubts as to whether or not they will make a come back.

  4. QUESTION:
    My sims 2 toddler has gone missing on Sims 2 double deluxe.?
    I had created this family and she had 2 teen daughters. Well about 2 sim days later I got my sim pregnant.... She had a girl named Corey and a son named Erik. Well, I then got both of my teens to have an A+ in public school. So I had invited the headmaster of private school over for dinner. (This is my first week of the sims 2... I got it last week and I know how to play yet I'm still learning the don'ts and dos of the game.) So he was in the way, as I had taught them to walk, & to talk I had got on his character and made him go into the living room. I had failed for my teens to get into Private school as the pop up said something similar to this "The headmaster doesn't feel that this family is worth the fine school." (I don't remember the exact words.) so I was okay with it.... Then after he left I was playing on Corey to check to see if she needed anything by looking at her needs, she was fine. So I went over to look at Erik... HE'S GONE! HE IS GONE!!! So I thought maybe the social worker?? He was social though... The father was playing with him and cuddling him the whole time the head master was there... So I checked the relationships, He was under family. I figured he would be... because he is family. So I checked household knowing that the household would be there... He's still there. What really confuses me is that his little picture to click on to play him is gone but my other toddler Corey who had no attention that night (She was sleeping.) is still playable. Has this happened to anyone? How can I fix it?

    P.s I had saved right after the headmaster left and I got off then got back on and he was gone.....

    HELP!!

Due Date Calendar

Can a Pregnancy Due Date Calculator Help Me?
To tell you when your baby is due, your doctor will use a pregnancy due date calculator. After you have it confirmed that you are pregnant, you will probably experience different emotions and feelings – excitement, nervousness, and fatigue. The next step is usually to fix an appointment with your doctor. But perhaps you would rather not wait that long to find out when you can hold your precious baby in your arms.

Of course, your doctor will be the best authority to tell you when your baby is due; but you can use an online pregnancy calculator to find out the tentative date of arrival of your baby. This is a tool that uses the following information to calculate the pregnancy due date.

*You would need to know the first day of your last menstrual period.

*You can get accurate results if you know your body’s cycle.  

Pregnancy due date calculators can be surprisingly accurate. The pregnancy usually lasts 266 days. It is assumed that the time from the last period to the day on which you conceived is a fortnight. These calculations can help you find out your due date, and the formula is simple. You only have to add 280 days to the date on which you had your last period to figure out your estimated date of delivery. But even though you do the research, your doctor will have the last word on confirming the due date.

Many doctors use the pregnancy due date calculator even before an ultrasound test.  After a comprehensive examination, be prepared to hear your doctor’s estimation of the due date, which could be different from yours by a few days or weeks.  This is because your doctor has had the advantage of a full physical exam.

There is one more way to use the pregnancy due date calculator. Suppose you can recall with conviction the actual date on which you conceived, which means you would need to specify the day on which your had sexual intercourse during your ovulation cycle, you can simply add 266 to that date and you would get an almost accurate due date. You must know your body’s ovulation cycle and keep track of when you had sexual contact. Yet, no matter what, it is preferable that you go by your doctor’s evaluation.

For the most part, it is fun to use the pregnancy due date calculator after you discover that you are pregnant, particularly when you are eager to know when your baby is due. Obviously your findings are no substitute, as you will need the doctor’s endorsement. Nevertheless, it can give great pleasure just to know the approximate date when you can expect your baby.

Since a pregnancy is expected to last for 40 weeks from first day of your last menstrual period, or 38 weeks from the date on which you conceived, this is all the information you need to get an estimate of your due date with a pregnancy due date calculator, especially if you are the sort who has a regular menstrual cycle.

Drinking While Trying To Get Pregnant

Foods to Avoid While Trying to Get Pregnant
What we eat has an impact on every cell in our bodies and when trying to conceive, our diet can play a pivotal role in helping to speed up the time it takes to get pregnant. There are certain foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant and it is important to be aware of these so you can make informed choices.

<b>Caffeine</b>

Caffeine is not only found in coffee, but is present in black tea, soft drinks such as colas, chocolate and certain painkillers. The effects on the body if you are trying to conceive can be dramatic.

* Drinking just one cup of coffee daily can decrease your fertility and halve chances of conceiving in some women

* Women who consume large amounts of caffeine can find that it can be three times as difficult to conceive within a year than those who carefully watch their intake

* Men can also be affected. The quality and quantity of sperm can be reduced in those who consume caffeine

Meats

It is important to avoid those meats high in saturated fats as these can stimulate estrogen production, particularly if the animals have not been organically raised. Processed meats are also not to be recommended whilst trying to conceive as these can contain undesirable additives
Eggs

Although eggs are a healthy food for women trying to conceive, ensure you eat organically produced eggs as these are unlikely to contain chemicals which can have an effect on fertility

Dairy Products

Some dairy products are on the list of foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant. On the whole, organic produce is fine as this does not contain chemicals and hormones which are generally used to increase production. Although organic yogurt is generally beneficial, some fruit ones have a high proportion of sugar and these should be avoided

Alcohol

Both partners should stop drinking alcohol when trying to conceive. It can effect the good working of the liver, which eliminates excess toxins and hormones and can affect sperm quality and quantity.

Naturally, knowing which foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant is only one half of the story, as it is just as important to know which foods you should be eating to ensure optimum health.

If you would like to see details of a system which focuses on all aspects of fertility, including diet, to give you the baby you so want, please visit How To Become Pregnant Quickly. This guaranteed system will get you on the right track, advising you which foods to avoid while trying to get pregnant as well as which should be included. Very often some couples still do not conceive after several months of trying without help and rather than leaving matters completely to chance, it makes sense to implement a tried and tested method which is guaranteed to work.

Earliest Signs Of Pregnancy

Earliest Signs of Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a beautiful dream of every woman after she gets married and both the partners willingly agree to have a child. Every married female dreams to have her own child and takes pride in nurturing her unborn in her womb. A child is a symbol of love between her and her husband, where both share the responsibility to bring their child to this world. Pregnancy is a natural phenomenon and when a woman is pregnant there are certain natural indications that help her to detect the earliest signs of pregnancy. A woman experiences some internal changes in her body like a missed period or vomiting and nausea and a lot many differences and all which are caused due to hormonal imbalances, as a new guest is about to arrive in the family. Here are some early signs of pregnancy which a pregnant woman usually experiences. Some may experience all of these while others may experience a few: - Missed period: This is the most obvious sign of pregnancy. A woman who misses her period has to confirm it for an actual pregnancy by undergoing certain medical tests. Along with this she may feel some other changes too. - Spotting or mild bleeding: This sign shows that the fertilized egg has just embedded itself to the uterus wall after which a slight bleeding is seen. However after this you can get it medically confirmed if you are really pregnant. - Nausea and Morning sickness: Often pregnant ladies tend to vomit in the mornings and feel uneasy at times, this may happen for most of the pregnant ladies. A feeling of full or an empty stomach urges you to vomit out. This may also happen after a morning tea or coffee. The condition may worse and gives you a feeling of Nausea because of a stomach disorder. - Heartburn and Constipation: These are the usual signs and grow with the growth of your baby. The hormonal imbalance slows down your digestion process due to which the bile juice in your stomach rises and you may experience heartburn due to its acidic nature. As your metabolism rate also reduces you face difficulty in digestion thus leading to constipation. - Food cravings and highly developed sense of smell: You often have a strong feeling to eat something with a particular taste to the extent that you wouldnt give up. This strong desire to eat that particular food is food craving and a pregnant woman cant do without it. Like craving for chocolates or ice-cream, even a pizza or a burger, it can be just anything. She may even response promptly to any kind of smell or aroma, either by vomiting or by going crazy for it. - A change in sense of taste: Some pregnant females often develop a metallic taste, or a sweet taste throughout their pregnancy due to this they may avoid tea, coffee and for that matter some my even switch over to different toothpaste! - More than usual urination: As the uterus grows in size, a pregnant lady often feels like going to a wash room to empty her bladder. The hormone HCG triggers frequent urination. - Irregular frame of mind: This sign is most prominent, you may feel depressed or may feel high, and its all due to your naughty baby in your womb who gives you such mood swings. These varied emotions are due to hormonal changes (just like you feel just before your periods) you may feel irritated sometimes and at other times you may be very happy for no reason at all. - Temperature rise in your body: Just when you are about to conceive or some time after conception your body temperature rises higher than normal. You feel sick at times. - Weary and lethargic: After a few days you find yourself to get tired and low very soon. You just feel like lying on your bed, your body becomes lazy and tired, you try to relax at regular intervals. Your baby wants you to rest, as later on he will be the one to trouble you the most! - Pregnancy test: A positive pregnancy test confirms your pregnancy. It is a clinical method where your urine sample is tested to confirm your pregnancy. Positive test confirms your PREGNANCY.

Due Date Predictor

Pregnancy due date calculator - are they accurate ?
Due date calculators are generally considered accurate within 7 days. Typically, most practitioners don't adjust due dates in either direction if the discrepancy between the two possible dates is less than 7 days. And that's true even of early ultrasounds.

There are generally two ways of measuring a pregnancy, LMP (last menstrual period) and gestational. Most due date calculators go by LMP, which calculates a pregnancy at 40 weeks or 10 lunar (4 week) months. LMP would mean that ovulation took place in your 2nd week of pregnancy (day 14). Gestational starts from the date of ovulation resulting in a 38 week pregnancy. So if you know the date of ovulation you can calculate where you are by either LMP or gestational.

The ultrasound technology may give you an odd date because they may not use either of these; they sometimes take the rate of development and change the due date based on where on their scale the baby is. The Doctor may even move the due date based on this, even if you know absolutely when the baby was conceived!

Babies only have so much possible size variability throughout pregnancy and so most will be of a certain size at a certain point in the pregnancy. The later in the pregnancy you are the more individual variability among babies there is and so the less accurate the size and date estimate will be. However, for example, almost all babies will be 2 inches at 13 weeks (LMP) and each little bit bigger than that they are, an extra day would get tacked on to an ultrasound estimate.

The solution is to calculate the pregnancy due date and then, unless there are complications be ready early but figure on going late. Many people have their hearts set on their due date and are so ready on their due date that when it goes by and nothing. They get pretty upset.

Do You Need To Ovulate To Get Pregnant

When Do Women Ovulate?
If you are one of the many million women who are trying to conceive then you need to read about ovulation. I get asked a lot, "when do women ovulate?" so I want to answer this question here. There are many methods you can use to know just when you are ovulating. In my opinion, some of these methods are a waste of your time because they aren't accurate enough so they really aren't worth the trouble. You don't want to be relying on any inaccurate information because you won't get the results that you are after and you don't want that.

So, when do women ovulate? A lot of women will estimate their ovulation cycle by counting the days after their last period. We have been told by other women that our ovulation cycle is half way through our cycle. So, if you have a 28 to 30 day cycle, then you would think that you will ovulate around day 14 or day 15. This method is quite simple but it really isn't all that accurate. There are very few women that have such a strict cycle where it's the same month after month. I don't think you should use just this method when there are much easier ways to get the answer to the question, "when do women ovulate." Why guess when you ovulate if you don't need to?

Many women will just assume that when they are having cramps and having abdominal twitching in the middle of their cycles that they are ovulating. I have even heard some women tell others that they can actually feel the egg leaving their ovaries. Maybe this can be true for some women but really unless you test to know for sure, it really is pretty much impossible to know for sure if your cramps are because the egg is being released or not. But, you do need to know when this happens if you are trying to get pregnant so you really do need to know exactly when do women ovulate.

Now, I know this isn't very "nice" and I thought my sister was crazy when she told me this but you can check your cervical mucus to know when you are ovulating. When ovulation is approaching, the cervical mucus will become plentiful. When you are actually ovulating your cervical mucus will be slippery and thin. As ovulation passes your cervical mucus will then return to normal and the color will be more white than clear. I didn't like this method and I didn't want to touch the stuff and I still felt it wasn't accurate enough for me and if you want to know exactly when do women ovulate then you might want a more accurate way to know when you are ovulating.

So, when I get asked, "when do women ovulate" I tell them the best way to know for sure is to use science. You can get some handy gadgets that will measure the body's chemistry to know exactly when you will start to ovulate, while you are ovulating and when you are done ovulating. The body goes through changes which can be easily measured during this time. You can see these changes in your fluids like urine, blood and saliva. Blood is not an easy way to go but your saliva is.

You can easily find and purchase ovulation predictors. They are inexpensive and they work very well so that you will know exactly when you are about to ovulate and when you are ovulating. In my experience, the saliva predictors are a bit more accurate than the urine ones. If you want to know when do women ovulate, you need to get one of the ovulation predictors so you will know exactly when the best time to conceive is.

Difficulty Getting Pregnant at 40 : Infertility Cure Tips for Women
There are a number of reasons why women fail to successfully get pregnant after one year of unprotected sex. One of the factors which greatly influence success in conceiving is age. Many women face the problem of difficulty getting pregnant at 40. This is because the number of viable egg cells decreases as women age; thus, they are left with a ten percent chance of conceiving.

Despite such a fact, many women can overcome the difficulty getting pregnant at 40. Many turn to alternative medicine for the answer to their infertility problems. Among the common methods used to boost fertility are as follows:
1) Homeopathy: This involves the use of diluted portions of animal, plant, and mineral substances such as aurum and phosphorus. A professional homeopathic practitioner is consulted. After determination of your symptoms, mental, emotional, and physical conditions, a homeopathic remedy is then prescribed based on the documentation of which remedies work for your particular condition.

2) Aromatherapy: This entails the use of substances such as essential oils, infusions, carriers, and many others extracted from volatile plant materials. These substances are used to improve a person's mood and health. Application is either done through aerial diffusion, direct inhalation, or topical application.

3) Herbs: There are many herbs used to increase fertility such as chasteberry and ginseng. These herbs have been documented to cure fertility problems for over centuries and have been used in ancient medicine.
The advantages of using alternative medicine to remedy the problem of difficulty getting pregnant at 40 are that they are cheap and safe to use. They also improve overall health.

Diet To Get Pregnant

An Alkaline Diet To Get Pregnant With A Boy Baby: How Does It Work? What Foods Are Included?
Within the last year, I've found that people are starting to buy into the idea of natural ways to select your baby's gender. Perhaps it's the economy or perhaps it's because people want to take control of their own health, but I'm starting to get a lot of emails that ask less about things like IVF gender selection and more about natural things like timing conception and going on an alkaline diet. In this article, I'll describe how and why the low PH diet works if you want to conceive a boy.

How And Why These Changes To Your Diet Help In Getting A Boy Baby: In a nutshell, your baby's gender is determined by which sperm chromosome (X (for a girl) or Y (for a boy)) gets to and fertilizes the egg first. These chromosomes are polar opposites in terms of how they interact with your reproductive tract. The girl or X sperm are slow, but very strong and hardy. The Y or boy sperm are vulnerable and weaker, but are also faster. If you want a son, your goal is to downplay this vulnerability while taking full advantage of this speed.

How And Why The Alkaline Diet Helps You Get A Boy Baby: Remember that the Y sperm are very weak, so they can't live for very long in an acidic, hostile vaginal tract that has a high PH. So, you'll need to lower this if you're trying for a boy baby. One way to do this is to go on a special diet that restricts how many acidic foods that you consume and gives you free reign to eat alkaline foods. So, you'll avoid foods with a high PH like pickled foods, blueberries, peanuts, and meats like beef and pork. And, you'll want to load up on low PH foods like leafy green vegetables, raisins, grapes, apples, almonds, and green tea. There are food lists that you can give you the exact PH of common foods and help you come up with a daily diet. I know that few people get really excited about restricting what you can eat, but understand that you aren't limiting your calories (in fact, you'll want to make sure that you get enough if you want a son) and you only have to do this until you reach your optimal level.

Another thing that you can do to lower your PH is to douche. Again, I know that this may not sound particularly exciting, but this is only for the short term and you'll likely see very quick results when you combine both of these methods. Know too that often baking sofa is not as effective as people will tell you. You can test this for yourself by using testing strips that will test the PH of your saliva. You can get these at health food stores and you can use them to determine your acidity going into this process and to monitor your progress as you try different things. It's very common to see that using both methods together will bring about the fastest and most dramatic changes. It's entirely possible to get to where you need to be using only foods, but this often requires a bit of patience.

Other Things For You To Think About In Your Regimen ToGet Pregnant With A Boy Baby: I wish that I could tell you that changing your diet or douching could absolutely guarantee you a boy baby. It does greatly increase your chances, but it often isn't enough to give you the over 90% rate of success that you can get if you add in other things. The first is correctly timing your conception to coincide with your ovulation. To get a male baby, you'll want to conceive on the day that you ovulate. Again, testing your saliva can help you greatly with this. (Saliva ovulation predictors are both inexpensive, reusable, and reliable.)

One other variable that you can manipulate is the sexual positions that you use to conceive. Positions that allow for deep penetration will deposit the Y sperm very close to your egg and vaginal tract so that these little guys have a quick and easy trip rather than a long and difficult one.

Conceive A Boy is a website I set up to make the process of having a son a bit easier. I've included step by step instructions and resources for the douching recipes, food lists, and PH testing strips mentioned in this article as well as hints, tips, and support.

Difficulties Getting Pregnant - What are the Chances of Getting Pregnant after 40
Many women think getting pregnant means stopping to take birth control pills! But most of them usually find out the had ways - that getting pregnant is not as easy as they think only when they actually want to conceive and discover that they are having difficulties getting pregnant. This situation is even more so if you have reached 40 or close.

You should already know that a woman's chance for naturally conceiving at the age of 40 greatly reduces, though you can still easily make it happen, if you follow the correct recommendations and right principles.

Giving birth to a kid should be the most natural things that can be done. However, due to complications and some unexplained factors, it could turn out to be a very difficult daunting task for some women to naturally conceive and give birth to the kid of their dreams. If you are having difficulties getting pregnant, you can always try treating this condition naturally.
There are so many tips, secrets and methods which could be used to somehow increase your chances of naturally conceiving, if you are not finding it easy to do so. These methods are allover the net.

Do U Have To Ovulate To Get Pregnant

When Should I Have Sex If I'm Trying To Conceive A Girl Baby? I'll Tell You
I often offer pointers to help couples conceive the gender that they want. I'm commonly asked which time of the month is best for a girl or a boy conception. In the following article, I'll go over ovulation timing and choosing the right time of the month to have intercourse if you're trying to conceive a daughter or baby girl.

Getting A Handle On Your Fertility Window When You Want A Girl Baby: You probably already know this, so please bear with me. But, there is a several day period in your cycle when you're the most likely to conceive. Although most people think that this is mid way through your menstrual cycle, this varies greatly for each woman. And, it can also vary monthly. In other words, when you ovulate and are therefore most likely to conceive this month may be an entirely different day for next month. Some women ovulate earlier in the month and some later (I actually ovulate on day 20, which is late by some standards but it normal for me. ) And, this may flip flop from one cycle to the next.

This variability doesn't mean that it will be harder for you to get pregnant. Not at all. It just means that you'll have to be very accurate about knowing when ovulation takes place. With that said, a man's sperm can survive for a while in your vaginal tract. How long it survives depends upon several things, including whether you are acidic or alkaline and whether you are dealing with X (girl producing) or Y (male producing) sperm. The X live for much longer than the Y. This gives you an advantage because you aren't fighting the clock.

These variables work together to give you around 3 5 days to work with. Your first step is getting a good handle on your ovulation day. There are several ways that women will do this. They will use the calendar method, they monitor their basal temperate and their cervical mucus, or they rely upon ovulation predictors. Of the three, I prefer the ovulation predictors because they don't rely on you to make a guess or judgment call. If you can read the screen, then you can determine when you will or if you have ovulated.

Why You Should Have Sex Earlier In The Window If You Want A Daughter: I've already mentioned the fact that the female producing sperm live longer. So, you do have time on your side. You can afford to conceive 3 4 days before you ovulate. You want to steer clear of the day of ovulation because the boy sperm will not have died off yet and this is what you want.

Again, many women think about conception in terms of days before or after their period or menstrual cycle. This is not the best way to do it. Instead, think of it in terms of days before and after ovulation.

Another thing that you want to do if you are trying for a girl baby is to avoid orgasm. The fluids associated this will make your vagina more alkaline. You actually want for the opposite to happen. You want to be as acidic as you can because this is unfriendly to a boy conception. You can create this state through a special diet or by douches that raise your PH.

And, you can use intercourse positions that are more shallow. Deep penetration gives the Y's a short distance to travel and you don't want this either.

Conceive A Girl is a website I put together to offer step by step instructions, hints, tips, and resources for couples wishing to conceive a baby girl. You'll find resources for douche recipes and food lists, as well as ovulation predictors and PH test strips. Take a look if you like at http://conceive-a-girl-baby.com/

Do I Get Pregnant

How Do I Get Pregnant - Tips And Tricks To Increase Your Chances Of Pregnancy
For women having problems with conception, the question "how do I get pregnant" is often asked. Most of these women tend to feel somewhat inadequate due to their problem in conception. This is often an inadequacy that can only be filled by a child.

Asking your doctor "how do I get pregnant" is the best way to solicit medically sound advice. Your OB/GYN qualifies as the best source of information regarding pregnancyyour pregnancy to be more specific.

These advices you see in the internet are non-specific in nature. This means that they are not targeted specifically for your case. For example, you are anorexic and your infertility is due to the deprivation of nutrients. You go searching for advice in the internet and there you found that exercising regularly can help you out in your fertility. Unfortunately, this doesn't solve your case.
What you need to do, before anything else, is go to your doctor for advice. He/she will most likely do tests to assess your physical health. Most OB/GYNs are also sensitive for emotional and mental issues. If they find signs of depression and other cognitive behavioral problems, they will refer you to a psychiatrist.

The point is, before you go modifying your diet, starting on a regular exercise, monitoring your BBT, having sex regularly, taking supplements, and doing qigong, acupuncture and reiki, you must first consult with your OB/GYN and ask "how do I get pregnant," in order for you to focus on your weak points. There's really no need to be working too hard for something you already have enough of. Rather than putting your energy on that aspect, why not use that for the things that really matter.

Do you want to naturally and safely get pregnant within four weeks from now? If yes, then I advise that you use the methods recommended in the "Pregnancy Miracle Book" to significantly boost your odds of quickly conceiving and giving birth to a healthy kid.

  5. QUESTION:
    I'm 19 and almost positive I'm pregnant, how do I get on maternity leave with a student job?
    I'm almost 100% sure I'm pregnant. So we'll skip that part. The only thing I have to do is wait 2 weeks and take my test. Anyway, I work about 35 hours a week, but I've only been working at the same place for 4 months... When do people go on maternity leave, and will I keep my job if I have to take a maternity leave? I work great my bosses love me, they're always complimenting me and complimenting me to my boss so I'm not worried about getting fired. But I am because they may need someone to replace me. My boyfriend has no job, he's in adult ed doing pre-requesite courses. So my job is super important. Another thing is, I can't keep it a secret until my 6 months of working there because I can't work at all if I'm pregnant since I have to lift so much stuff where I work, like cases of milk and cases of food, all the time. It's very physical. I live in Quebec, Canada if my povince matters any

    • ANSWER:
      What do you mean when you say "student job?"

      If this is a training-type job that's part of your education (apprenticeship, residency, etc.) then you are not covered under labor laws. If you mean this is your job while going to school and you are classified as part-time, you are probably not entitled to any benefits, including having your job back after a maternity leave.

      I can't help without knowing more details.

My periods are not regular. but they are always AROUND the same time. between the 3rd and the 6th. and it is now the 10th and no period or even a sign of it. ive been sick to my stomach for a few days also. Could this finally be my time :) ??

    • ANSWER:
      it very well could be, i'd wait a couple more days & see if you have started if not it's time to test :] also if it isn't your month please listen to my advise cause i did get pregnant by this, start having sex 1 week after your period till 1 week before your next period & have sex every other day and don't think about it at all just try to occupy your mind if you do start thinking about it.

  11. QUESTION:
    How long after sex should I get tested for pregnancy?
    My husband and I had sex on the last day of my period, I was bleeding very lightly. He used a condom, and it didn't break or slip off. The condom was not expired, and we stored it in a cool, safe place so the latex wasn't damaged. I'm still paranoid because he came inside me when the condom was still on, and I'm not taking the pills or using any other contraceptive methods. I'm worried about becoming pregnant because of financial reasons. What are my chances of getting pregnant? How long do I have to wait before I get tested for pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:

  13. QUESTION:
    I'm ready for sex but I don't want to get pregnant?
    Ok, my question must make me sound really immature and stupid but I'm going to continue anyway.

    I'm ready for sex. My boyfriend hasn't pressured me into thinking I'm ready because he hasn't even mentioned it. The only problem is, even with a condom, it's still possible to get pregnant and I'm seriously not up for the whole big drama of that. That doesn't mean I'm not ready for sex. It just means I'm not ready for children. If you're going to answer saying that I'm not ready, don't answer at all. I'm ready, I want to and that makes it ok in my opinion.
    Anyway, I probably shouldn't do it because of the whole 'what if I get pregnant' thing. But how likely is it that I'd get pregnant even with using a condom? Thanks :-)

  14. QUESTION:
    Heard a group of tween girls tonight saying their dream is to get pregnant and be on Teen mom?
    At my son's baseball game there were 4 girls sitting on the bleachers, where there parents were IDK but they looked 14ish. They were wearing short shorts with random words on their butts, makeup and their little phones texting and mentioned teen mom and how they are cuter than the mom's on that show and all they have to do is get pregnant and they can be on TV and then started running down a list of guys at their school they would get to father the baby. WTF is wrong with this generation? I am seriously concerned about what kind of girl my son will have to choose from when he gets older. I don't watch Teen mom, but it seems like a bad idea to promote that show from the 5 minutes I heard tonight. Do you watch it? Do you think it promotes teen motherhood in a positive or negative way?

    • ANSWER:
      I personally think "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" should both be taken off the air, but since the subject of teen pregnancy is a controversial one, both shows bring in millions of viewers to MTV and are extremely popular, so I doubt they'll be going anywhere soon (In fact, they've been showing commercials for the 4th season of "16 and Pregnant" and have announced a 3rd spin off "Teen Mom 3").

      Some people will try to defend it by saying that it's to show the "trials of teen pregnancy" and is a "cautionary tale". However, the only message I can see impressionable teenage girls getting from it is "HEY KIDS, IF YOU GET PREGNANT AND SEND US AN AUDITION TAPE, YOU COULD BE ON TV! AND IF YOUR EPISODE GETS HIGH ENOUGH RATINGS, YOU CAN BE ON "TEEN MOM 4"! AND MAKE LOTS OF MONEY". Seriously, the girls get ,000 for participating in "16 and Pregnant" (possibly more now that it's gotten significantly more popular), and probably a lot more per episode of "Teen Mom".

      On a side note, the terrible obvious editing (the girls hair changing color/style several times on what's supposed to be the "same day", and the scenes they obviously film much later to complete a storyline for an episode- i.e. Jenelle getting invited to the birthday party, or Leah telling her friends about her engagement) and the fact that they make the girls pretend to struggle financially (I don't care if they don't have them mention the fact that they make hundred thousands and just leave the money subject alone, but to try to convince people to believe people who are "reality tv stars" are struggling just insulting to ones intelligence).

      I watched the first seasons of both shows, but no longer watch such trash.

  15. QUESTION:
    Do you think a lot of women lie about their birth control to their partners to get pregnant?
    Many of my friends seem to be not telling the truth as far as their birth control, whith whether or not they taking it like their supposed to to their sexual partner. Or they take medications that they know decreases the effectiveness of their birth control and do not tell their partner. I am just wondering does anyone else have friends like this? Have you ever told your friends sexual partner about this if you found it was not fair? Not saying I am for or against I haven't took a side but I' m wondering what other women's opinions are or maybe they have done this to get pregnant in the past. I am totally not going to be judgmental either. I really thank you all for you opinions harsh or not :)

    Trying to get pregnant - Complications?
    Hello! My name is Hannah, thank you for taking the time to look at my question. My issue that I would like to ask about is that my husband and I are trying to get myself pregnant. However, I've been told by my gynecologist that I've got too many androgens in my hormones, which makes me infertile (I am a bit confused about this and how it makes my infertile/have fertility issues). He is a very healthy man (he is in the air force, so by default he works out every day, and I am only slightly overweight. I am not obese by any means. I am visiting him right now while he is away, and I will be here from 3/1/2012 until 3/15/2012. I started my period on 3/1/2012 and am still on it (today is 3/6/2012 by the way). I was looking up information on pregnancy and the easiest times for a female to get pregnant and I read that while a woman is actually on her period, she cannot conceive. However I also read that she cannot conceive until at least 1 week has passed after her period. My question is when would I be at my most fertile? Is it true that the likely-hood of a female getting pregnant while on her period is next to nothing? Should my husband and I give up on trying for now because of my hormonal issues combined with me being on my period AND not being fertile 1 week after I stop my period? I am just sort of confused, and would really like some advice about this. We've been making love almost every day for about 3 - 4 hours since I've been here. (Wanting to get pregnant is only part of us doing that. We also really miss each other because we haven't seen each other for about 6 months and we love each other.) Thank you so much for your help! I'll try to respond and give more info if needed! :)
    Okay, well here is another factor to me being confused! I'm not sure how to tell when I ovulate, or if I do or what! And I'm confused about how to tell how long a cycle is? Is it the amount of days from the last day of your last period to the last day of my current period? Last time I checked (about 2 - 3 months ago), I do have an ovarian cyst! Just one though, which is about the size of the nail of a thumb. I really am confused though about how ovulation works and what it means/what happens.

    Okay, first a background I am a 27 year old virgin....well not anymore, I just lost my virginity to some guy I met at a bar. I did not want my first time to be anything special I just wanted the experience before I get too old. Whatever, don't judge, but we had sex against a wall in my apartment without protection. I am really scared because in the heat of the moment he told me I could not get pregnant if we were standing up. I am slightly worried but I think I can trust him. Thoughts?

    If you already have PMS symptoms, can you get pregnant during this?
    Ok so 2 weeks ago I had pms symptoms (cramps, moody..you name it) and me and my husband didnt use protection during that week. My question is, if pms has already started (which usually means the egg has already been past point of fertilization, thus the pms) can you still get pregnant? No sarcasm or "sex causes pregnancy" answers please! Did anyone have pms, and then find out they were pregnant 3 weeks later etc?
    ok let me add to this, when the pms symptoms started I knew I couldnt be pregnant...so the symptoms WERE pms. What I am basically asking is if you have already started with pms is your period inevitable or can you still get pregnant during that week of pms?

    • ANSWER:
      I would say so. Lot's of women still get pms like symptoms and then later find out they are pregnant, so I wouldn't cancel out pregnancy because you have these feelings. As long as you ovulated around the time you had sex, then I would say it is a possibility!

      Good Luck:)

  20. QUESTION:
    Can women with hormone issues still get pregnant?
    I've been dealing with irregular cycles since i was about 15 or 16 (now 19) I first started getting my period shortly after turning 12. They were regular and then started to become irregular. The flow was normal and the length. Then my periods started skipping and eventually got lighter and more of just spotting and then eventually went to only noticeable when wiping. Now its been 7 months since my last period. I have these symptoms --> Nausea and sometimes vomiting, headaches, back aches, stomach and pelvic pain, hot flashes, fatigue, uncontrollable weight gain ( i was a healthy weight until freshman year when periods started or when I think they started to become irregular), swelling of ankles, and frequent urination but when i do go it feels like there is still some in there. The doctor thinks It is a hormone problem such as pcos but that was ruled out by ultrasound, endometroisis, hypo or hyperthyroidism, or just hormones outta of place. My main concern is being able to have children. Ive always wanted to be a mother and now I'm in fear I may never be one. Has anyone had a hormone issue and still had kids? What do you think this is?

  24. QUESTION:
    What should I do about nursing school?
    I think i am pregnant. And that is fine by me and my boyfriend of five years. However, I am a full time student in a four year nursing program. If i did get pregnant this month, I would be able to finish my sophomore year and the first semester of my junior year before I had the baby. I am just wondering if anyone went through this before or if anyone had any advice about what I should do regarding school. Also, I go to a University (i commute from home), but I will lose my scholarship if I take a semester off, which i would need to regardless of my decision. So losing my scholarship means that I cant afford to go there anymore. Any advice? Please and thank you in advance!

  25. QUESTION:
    Can I still get pregnant?
    So, I'm on birth control, and I have been for several months, but, I don't take it at the same time every night. Sometimes I take it at 9, sometimes at 10, or 11 or 12.
    I'm gonna be hooking up with this guy this weekend, and we will have sex, and he wants to finish inside of me. I told him I was okay with it, but now I'm having second thoughts because I heard there's more of a chance for me to get pregnant if I don't take it at the same time everyday.

    So, ultimately, 2 questions:
    What are the chances of me getting pregnant?
    If there's a higher chance, I'll have to tell him I don't want to, but I'll feel like a b*tch, and awkward, so, how do I approach that?

    Thank you so much!!

    Can you get pregnant from fingering?
    So about 2 months ago (jan 14th to be exact) my girlfriend and I did handjob and then I fingered her. She gave me a handy and I dI'd ejaculate. I then washed my hands came back downstairs then about half an hour later I fingered her again. I have been worried sick about it.

    She had her period a few days after that ( the 17th of January) and it was normal. Then last month had it the 18th ( a little early but lasted normal even though she said it was a little light).

    Her boobs haven't felt sore or anything.she puked once but she thinks it was because of wings she ate and she said her stomach has been hurting recently.

    My cat has been sleeping on my belly since I got pregnant!?
    She follows me around the house, sleeps on my belly at night with me, like a cute little shadow! But at night when I sleep I don't like to move her off of me so I just lay their while she enjoys her night on my pregnant belly! Does anybody know why she does this?

    • ANSWER:
      Could be your belly is warmer now with increased blood flow. Cats are practical creatures. See what happens when you are further along. She may decide that the increased warmth is no match against doing a balancing act.

  31. QUESTION:
    Why Do People Give Such Nasty Comments About Teenage Pregnancy?
    Every time i see someone post a question saying their 15,16 and pregnant they always get abusive comments?
    some people are actually very mature for their age and know what they want, but they come on her for genuine advice and that's not what they get?

    yes i understand if the person is very immature and 'doesn't know what there talking about' or is 'mentally unable' to make a stable and good decision. but seriously they ask for advice? and i think its sad that they don't get that.

    im 15 and 7 weeks pregnant, ive been with my boyfriend who is 17 for 2 years now, i don't smoke, i don't drink, i don't take drugs and i don't sleep around. i no what im doing and i know what i want, it wasn't a 'stupid' mistake and we always knew that if i did get pregnant we were going to keep it, im happy that im going to have a baby, i still plan to take my GCSEs as im very bright and i know i will do well, in 10 days my boyfriend will be 18 and plans to get a job.

    this is the 21st century, its not seen as wrong to have sex before marriage, or to be a single parent at that matter, its just how it is and how the worlds evolved in the last few decades.

    if someone chooses to be a mum at 15,16 then its their choice, its no one Else's, and fair enough people have there own personal opinions but why post them when all the person is asking for is advice? they don't post "oh hey by the way im 15 and pregnant can you give me as much abusive comments as possible please cos i don't know what im doing, im very immature, it was a mistake and a one night stand, i don't know who the father is, i hang around on street corners and i don't want this baby" .... no they don't.

    it makes me so upset to see that people are so stereotypical when it comes to teenage pregnancy....

    a small word of advice for people who are going to be commenting on this, i have no time for more abusive comments, i only want to hear from people who know were im coming from and are civilised enough to say their views in a respectful manner, so you have my sympathy if you are not mature enough to do so.

    please know that i do realise not every one is like this, all sensible comments are welcome :)
    To Your Answer; no i dont have thousands of dollars, and i live in the uk actually were there is lots of support for teenage mums, you dont need money to be a good mother, you need to know how to care for a baby and to love it, you cant buy love darling.
    For all these people who are saying that im going to be living off benefits and 'their tax dollars' i actually have very high predicted grades, i plan to, after my GCSEs, go to college and do a degree in psychology and become a child psychiatrist, this is exactly what i mean by stereotypical like a teenage parent wont be able to do that...
    and adoption, would you give your child up? fair enough theres people who can't have children themselves but giving a child up is like deciding to change your hairstyle, IT DONT WORK LIKE THAT.

    • ANSWER:
      Hey kiraster, your the type of person shes talking about. im 17 and i have a 3 month old daughter. she wasn't a mistake then and shes not one now. i don't "leech" off my relatives and im sure the asker wont either. there nothing wrong with having a child young. i believe if someone is old enough to decide to have sex then they are old enough to have a child. the reason why people are so mean on the internet towards others is because they cant say nothing in person. they see a young mom, think nasty thoughts, but you never see anyone walk up to the stranger and be like "your a whore for having a child young, blah, blah blah" never do you see that. so they gotta troll on the Internetto release that. their just stuck up people in the real world, wanting perfection. a young parent isn't perfect for them their the type of people who when their child is young and ppregnant or a son with a pregnant gf, they think their life is over. they think that child is a disgrace, a slut, and they want them to give up the baby or for an abortion. sweetheart, if you ever want advice, me being a young mom myself, i will not discriminate against you, i will give you advice the best i can.

  32. QUESTION:
    My bf calls me fat and other stupid names. I am also pregnant and really don't know how to make him stop.?
    Okay, I have gained about 30lbs since I got with my bf. I am a size 11 5ft 5 in and now weigh 175lbs I am overweight but I’m not like SUPER fat. Like Bridget Jones I suppose…. I am also 5.5 months pregnant (reason for some of the weight gain. I had started jogging and went down to 160 but got pregnant and too tired to do much of anything so the weight just slammed itself back on (and the lack of exercise probably had a bit to do with that too)…

    Anyways, the reason I started jogging was b/c my bf recently started calling me names like fatbutt (only replace butt with a$$) when I eat something. My breathing is now a bit shallow like an overweight persons but b/c of the pregnancy and he’ll say ‘is ur fatbutt having trouble breathing or what?’

    And then I am kinda slow at getting out of the car now and he said ‘what do I need to rub Crisco on you to get you out of the car’

    I never had a problem with my weight and there were guys who did like me but I went out with him and at the beginning he NEVER said anything about my weight. But when I look around I notice I may be an 11 but I have wide hips and I don’t look like a ball of fat but now I look in the mirror and just feel disgusted by what I see.

    He says hes joking and I ask him to stop cuz for one I already feel like a whale being 5 months pregnant. We’ll just be laying down watching TV and he’ll cough ‘fat ass” like a stupid teenager and it sucks to hear it OVER and OVER again. And he also slaps me on the cheek playing around when we are together that sucks too… then when I get mad after he does it over and over and over I hit him back and then he’ll like kinda punch me on my cheek or leg or arm and it really sucks. He used to be physically abusive but that’s stopped since I got pregnant.

    And he is WAY fatter than me! Like borderline obese! I mean I’m Bridget Jones chubby, he’s Cedric the Entertainer FAT. And I don’t call him FAT I even tell him I want him to lose weight b/c of health reasons. Then when I try to lose weight he tells me not to b/c he likes me the way I am (yet he ‘playfully’ calls me names?) . All of his previous gfs were SKINNY and so was he at the time… Then he’ll ‘playfully’ call me names calling me ugly (w/o actually saying ugly, childish stuff). So now I just stopped wearing make-up or doing my hair. Basically I kinda do feel ugly and fat so I just stopped caring. We still have sex sometimes now but I want the lights off and I just think about other things sometimes. He even says my nipples are ugly and gross now b/c of pregnancy. I have always had a large pink areola but I have D cup breasts so it looked nice. Now they are bigger and a dark pink and I am leaking colstrum. My breasts have always been my most sensitive 'turnon' location and now he is just repusled by them.

    Sometimes I really want to leave him and I think of all the really GOOD guys (almost done with college, steady paychecks, responsible) I’ve turned down and stayed with a guy who works with FAST FOOD and is already in his 20’s. But he is CRAZY when he gets mad so I don’t want to have my parents go through drama or cops. My plan was to transfer colleges and not tell him about it and just disappear. But I’m pregnant and I just get sick of being called names…
    Oh yea...and he is PYSCHO. Thats why I haven't left him he will cause so MUCH drama. I just keep telling myself to either put up with it till I finish college or just transfer. I live with the parental units b/c I am in the RN program which is literally a full time job. I know in a year I will be able fo FULLY spport my baby any myself. Im just too ashamed to let my family know about how I want out of a crappy relationship

    • ANSWER:
      Ok Im assuming this is his baby so you really don't want to just disappear but you do need to get away from him. You said he was physically abusive before and now he stopped b/c your pregnant but he really hasn't stopped, he's mentally abusive now!

      Im in the same boat as you. Im 5 1/2 months pregnant too and married but my husband does NOT do that to me. If he says anything, its something small and he will laugh and say jk! But he loves that Im pregnant. (and yes my nipples have just gotten HUGE! and they leak too.) You should not stop caring about your appearance b/c this is a wonderful time in your life and believe it or not. A LOT of mean think pregnant women are SEXY!! I should know b/c my husbands one of them lol.

      If you live with him, you need to move out. Stay with your parents or some friends but you really need to get away from him. If you dont live with him then you need to stop seeing him. Tell him your sick of the way he treats you and your not putting up with it anymore. I hope he's not the type to go crazy and come after you!

      So that being said here is my email. kmelhorn89@yahoo.com Email me if you need to talk to someone. Im really concerned for you. You have enough stress as it is being pregnant!

  33. QUESTION:
    Am I pregnant? Or what's going on ?
    So my last period was on January 28th. We had sex on Febuary 4th. He normally pulls out or wears a condom. This time, he dropped a pretty big first load in and then pulled out. We continued having sex that month and always withdrew or wore a condom. I started using the rythym method this month where I count my days to see when I could get pregnant. He wanted to c u m inside me so on February 21st he came inside. I figured it would be fine since I was expecting to start my period soon. Well it is now march 11 and no period. I am late every once in a while, but generally regular. My december period was 2 weeks late but all of my other ones for the past six months have been normal.

    aug. 17 - sept. 15 (29 days)
    sept 15- oct. 13 (28 days)
    oct. 13- nov. 14 (32 days)
    nov 14- dec. 28 (late 44 days) we got married
    in dec. and that was my first time, i don't know
    if that may have thrown it off.
    Dec. 28- jan. 29 (32 days)

    So I was expecting one around march 1st.

    I took 1 pregnancy test like on Feb. 29 because I was having a panic attack thinking I was pregnant and wanted peace of mind. It showed up neg. and I expected to start. I still didn't start so I took one on the 4th and the 5th. Both said negative. If I am pregnant I'm either about 5 weeks or 2 and a half weeks. Is it too early to tell? Or could I have gotten pregnant another day and not known it even though we used condoms or withdrawal? My mom just thinks my period's late because of stress. I just think it's weird because I'm normally regular, this is the first time he's ever come inside of me, and I'm no more stressed than usual. No weight gain or weight loss or anything like that. So what do you all think? I'm prolly gonna go to the doctor soon but I kinda wanna know what to expect.
    Why is the pull out method not effective?

    • ANSWER:
      It could be stress, it could not be . Just go to the doctors and if a urine test comes back negative and you still think you might be pregnant ask for a blood test . Also, just thought you should know the pull out method is NOT effective at all .

  34. QUESTION:
    I'm 16 and might be pregnant, how can I guarantee a good pregnancy?
    I'm 16; my boyfriend is 17. We had unprotected sex. (Condoms make it hurt for me and the pill made breathing difficult so I had to stop it.)

    I'm not asking you to judge me, I am asking you what I can do to make sure my health and the health of the baby is good. Since I'm not sure if I'm pregnant and have to wait until a missed period (in 16 days) what I'm doing is precautionary. If you suspect a pregnancy, you treat yourself as if you were pregnant.

    -I am taking a one a day vitamin and trying to get 2500 calories in, along with more fruit and veggies in my diet.
    -I have started talking a 30-40 minute walk with my dog twice a day.
    -I started drinking more water, trying to get 3 bottles of water down in a day.

    Is there anything else I can do?
    I'm not telling my boyfriend until I know I am pregnant. We've discussed if I got pregnant before, and we plan on keeping the baby if I am. (it was the "what if" game.) He can easily make 3000 dollars a week at his job. And if I'm pregnant that's 9 months of saving money.

    I'm just terrified of being pregnant and not being healthy enough and the child suffering.
    Is there anything else I can do to guarantee a good pregnancy? (If I am pregnant).
    Since sperm lives in the body for 5 days and I'm on my ovulating week...

    I don't want to be a teen mom but sex is natural. Society says it's not but truly? It's in our DNA.
    Fertility decreases in late twenties, early thirties. Fertility is the best in late teens, early twenties.

    Anyways: I'm not dramatic, look at teenage pregnancies. Some babies have birth defects from the mother not taking care of herself.
    My friend had the shot - she hasn't stopped bleeding for 2 months. It's all the time spotting. And she never stops.

    The pill didn't work for me and since I have a heart condition, most birth controls will actually hurt my body.
    My mom was on the shot when she had my brother.
    The bar when she had my sister.
    And the pill when she had me. Birth control fails all the time.

    I'm 17 years old and I'm 26 weeks pregnant I'm still going to school and plan on going to college to become an ultrasound technician. I'm married and my husband works full time it gets me upset when I see and hear people satin that teens that are pregnant are nothing but whores and sluts. That's not fair to judge us and criticize us like that. Some girls get pregnant their first time having sex. Others get raped and some are just mistakes. There are plenty of real whores in the world that don't get pregnant but because they know exactly what they are doug and how to use everything. Being a good parent has nothing to do with age some teens are way better parents than some adults.

  36. QUESTION:
    Why don't men get periods?
    It would make way more sense for a woman AND a man to be able to get pregnant, because it ensures the survival of the human race even more. And, men should have to suffer just as much pain as women do. Being a woman could be used as a torture method, I mean think about it, would you use cramps, bleeding, heat flashes, bloating, headaches, as torture? YES. And getting periods is like a punishment for not getting pregnant(aka, continuing the human race), but when we do get pregnant, what happens? More torture methods!! : An extra 40 pounds, puking, headaches, eating like crazy, and always feeling sick and crappy. And not to mention giving birth, probably painful as HELL. And what pain do men suffer? Lets see, all they have to do is f8ck us. DONE! D*mn, that was such a painful expirience!! Share your thought please, but be warned, if you post women hater comments, I WILL report you.
    The human race IS supposed to make sense, EVERYTHING is supposed to make sense. But nothing does, I'm only 13 & I'm already ready to die just to get off this stupid earth.
    @ abcdefghijkln ♌ : I KNOW!!! I've been on that website so many times just to b!tch all of them out for being sexist a*sholes. Dick Masterson is a total FREAK, and no one will ever like him. Ugh, I'm so glad someone agrees:)
    Yeah, well it was complicated to design tampons for women too, but we found a way, didn't we?? People should be out looking for a "cure" for menstration. (I know there is no magical cure for it but I mean like a scientifical soloution.)
    @ abcdefghijkln ♌ : Yeah, and he's probably gay too haha. And it's so pathetic how all of the stupid little low life men follow him around saying 'you da man Dick!'. The only women he should hate is his mom for giving birth to a psycho.

    • ANSWER:
      AMEN. and then I like how men go around and feel the need to be complete jerks to the females they supposedly love. Not all are, but a lot, like call them names, abusive, be sexist,etc. &when a girl talks or stands up for herself with common sense a lot of guys guys will just put her down again in a sarcastic way.
      for example

      menarebetterthanwomen.com <---that's an actual website.

      I know right!! Obviously someone never taught him manners or how to appreciate anyone besides himself and to say whatever mean thing pops into his head. Some girl probably screwed him over that he loved. I go on there too and leave comments:)

  37. QUESTION:
    Is there a higher chance of getting pregnant because of this?
    2 weeks ago I've had stomachproblems for 4 days. I didn't throw up but i did have diarrhea for those days. During those days I continued taking the pill as I normally would, same goes for the week after. Then last friday (around 1.5 week after the diarrhea) I stopped taking the pills cause it was time for my menstruation. It always takes 5 days after I stopped taking the pill for my period to start and it would always last 2 or 3 days only. (So it started 2days ago). Then today I have to start with the new strip.

    But my boyfriend will come over this weekend and we're planning on having sex. Is there a chance I could get pregnant if we don't use extra protection? I'm doubting because of those days of diarrhea and that I'm on my period now (though by the time my bf will be here the bleeding should already have stopped). I know there's a slight chance of getting pregnant while on your period but will that chance be greater since I was sick 2 weeks ago (the time you normally ovulate after you've had a period?)

    • ANSWER:
      Is this the first month you have been on the pill? Here’s how it works:

      First 21 days: Take one active pill per day
      22nd - 28th days: Take either no pill or inactive pill (if they are included with your prescription)
      Next day equals Day 1 of next active pill pack

      If you have taken all of these pills as specified, you have a 99% - 99.9% degree of protection against pregnancy. The only time that this changes is if you are taking antibiotics or another prescribed medicine that specifically states that it interferes with birth control.

      You are not pregnant - you have the stomach flu.

  42. QUESTION:
    Why cant my girl fall pregnant?
    This is very hard for me, im 21 years old and I can say since I started to date few years ago, I have used protection but for those I was in serious relationship with we were not using any protection. I did not think of it until recently when I met the girl I have now. We are very serious and we do not use protection. However, she hasn't fallen pregnant, which led me to think about all the girls I never used protection with and none of them got pregnant. I can to a very worrying conclusion that may be i may not be able to have children. Oh God no, i wish if this is not true, what do u think might be the problem why none of the girls i slept with ever got pregnant and now with my serious girl, we do not use protection but she is not getting pregnant. I wanted to think that may be she is the one with the problem but given the fact that i have slept with girls before and none of them got pregnant, im starting to wonder if im the one with the problem. I dont want to go to doctors because getting told that i cant have kids, dont think will be able to take it. so people what do u think might be the problem and what can i do to maximise my chances of me and my girl making a fantastic baby.

    Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      It could be the fact that you have a low sperm count, or your sperm is not able to get these women pregnant. Or it may also be the fact that these women are not fertile. But, if you're saying all them can't get pregnant than chances are it's your sperm. There are alternative solutions to having a child, as I see you are very concerned with this issue. Maybe your doctor could take some of your sperm, and her egg and try that way? Adoption is also a very good choice, depending on what type of person you are. If you think about it, you're giving a child a life they deserve but could never attain because no one wanted them or could take care of them.

      You also shouldn't be trying to get every single girlfriend you have pregnant either. If all you want a girlfriend or signification other for is to try and make a baby then you definitely are not ready to have a baby. You should find that special someone and plan and prepare with them. That way the baby can grow up with both of his or her parents who love them.

Diet To Have A Boy

Conceiving Baby Boy With Boy Diet
Conceive baby boy by changing your diet before you conceive, and maintaining a certain kind of diet during your pregnancy!

Sounds like one of those outlandish old wives' tales?

Not quite!

Scientists now seem to agree that there is a possible link between what you eat and which gender youll conceive.

Pregnant women on high calorie diet are more likely to have a baby boy!
Also, eating food rich in nutrients such as potassium and calcium, and vitamins C, D and B12 seems to upper your chance of conceiving a baby boy!

Where those conclusions came from? Actually, its from a new research done at the universities of Exeter and Oxford. The scientists examined the diets of a large number of first-time mothers and found that those who ate a higher number of calories were more likely to conceive with a boy!
Among women with the highest calorie intake before pregnancy - 56 percent had boys.

Women who had boys also ate an additional 300 mg of potassium daily!

Dont you have an urge now to go and eat a banana?:)

It has been speculated for the last 30 years in the scientistic world that the diet of a mother could predict the gender of a baby. There has been enough evidence that diet in mammals can affect the sex of their offspring. Namely, a lot of mammals when well fed produce more boys, while in starvation situation there are more girls than boys being born.

Seems like there are more nutrients needed to conceive a boy rather than a girl In any case: now you have one more reason not to skip breakfast!:) Especially when you hear this next piece of statistics:
Eat at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily and you will have a 87 percent more chance that youll conceive a baby boy!

So, treat yourself with an additional serving of steak with potatoes and have a piece of cake:)

But dont overdo it! Never forget that proper nutrition is essentially important for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Whatever gender that baby will be!

Does Geritol Help You Get Pregnant

Fertility Vitamins and Prenatal Vitamins
Many women are either confused about what to look for in fertility vitamins or they don't see the need to take vitamins at all. Let me take some time to explain why vitamin supplements are necessary in order to increase your fertility as well as why prenatal vitamins are necessary prior to and during pregnancy for you and your unborn child. Most women don't get the vitamins and minerals needed from the food they eat from day to day. We would have to eat a whole lot of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains in order to get the balance of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to thrive and be our healthiest.

Women's vitamins are especially important when a woman is trying to conceive and during pregnancy. These are specifically called prenatal vitamins.

Prenatal vitamins supply a rich assortment of vitamins and minerals to help a woman conceive and bring forth a healthy baby. These vitamins and minerals are necessary to help keep our hormones balanced and our nervous system running smoothly as well as keeping all our organs functioning optimally.
Let me stress - We all need to take a multivitamin and multi mineral supplement to make up for what is lacking in the food we eat. Even the best diet in the world will not give you all the nutrients you need for your best chance at getting pregnant and bringing forth an optimally healthy child.

So what do you look for? What are the qualities of the best fertility vitamins and prenatal vitamin supplements?

Well, I'm no expert. But I can tell you what I took that helped me to be more fertile and energetic and have a trouble-free pregnancy. I looked into several prenatal vitamins before choosing what I believe to be the best multi vitamin supplement that's all natural and made from organically-grown plant compounds (see below). The other prenatal vitamins were synthetically made with artificial coloring.

I also ate lots of fruits and vegetables and drank a lot of purified water. (See my Preconception page for more on this.) Make sure your multivitamin has at least 400 mcg of folic acid (I took 800 mcg daily) in order to prevent neural tube defects in your unborn baby. This neural tube develops within the first month of life, so it's important to get enough folic acid before you get pregnant.

* Remember that even the best multi vitamin supplement won't replace eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, meats, and drinking lots of purified water. Both a healthy diet and a great multi vitamin supplement are needed to increase your fertility and ensure that you have a healthy pregnancy.

Different Positions To Get Pregnant

Best Sex Positions To Get Pregnant Faster
So you're wondering what the best sex positions to get pregnant are?

While all sex positions are fun. Some think you a couple are a lot more prone to getting a woman pregnant. Let's discuss them here.

But first, you need to be aware of why these positions are considered better sex positions to get pregnant. The woman's ovum has a life span of about 24 hours. And the male sperm can survive in the female body from three to five days. Considering your body normally releases one of these eggs per month, you need to help those little guys get better access to your egg when it becomes available for fertilization.

So it makes sense to do everything possible to make their union less difficult to help you get pregnant quicker and easier. Many believe that there's a far better likelihood to get pregnant if the male can ejaculate as near to the female cervix as possible. This leads to the popularity of the two following sex positions to get pregnant:
1. The tried and true missionary position. Yes, it is true the standard man-on-top missionary position aides in the male sperm being allocated closest to the female cervix. Making it simpler for the male sperm to meet up with your egg with the least possible path to travel.

2. The man-from-behind position. This position, once more, gives the male closer accessibility to the female cervix. This particular position can go a long way when your wanting to get pregnant in more adventureous fashion.

Realize that both of these positions allow the female cervix to be positioned at a downward angle allowing the male ejaculate to run down into the cervix of the female. So you may well need to consider laying there for a while to let nature do its course. Or position a pillow under the hips to enhance this position while taking advantage of the missionary position.

An additional tip is to attempt to time a male and female orgasm. Even though being incredibly enjoyable for both partners, it's believed that the contractions of the female orgasm aid in pulling the male sperm into your cervix. Increasing the chances of the egg and sperm meeting.

Even though all positions can easily do the job, make use of these sex positions to get pregnant the easiest.

Many women do not feel complete until they experience giving birth and the happiness that comes with it. The hardest part is getting there, as conception is necessary first. Because of the stress that we deal with, day in and day out, conceiving a baby can be hard. It is important and helpful to know the best and quickest tips.

You can increase your chances of getting pregnant by doing a few different things, but there is never a guarantee. You can be on your way to holding your baby by taking the following hints to heart. There is no better feeling than becoming a mom.
1. Having sex on a regular basis, regardless of how crazy and stressful your life may be, is important. To conceive, many believe that you should be having sex, not every day, but every other day.

2. Keep track of your monthly cycles in order to realize when you are ovulating. Women typically ovulate halfway through their cycle, so if yours is 28 days, you should be ovulating around day 14. If you are someone who deals with a period that is irregular, you can calculate the day of ovulating by using an ovulation kit. Your urine contains hormones that will let you know whether or not you are ready to ovulate, just by a safe and easy test.

3. You should know that two days before you ovulate, you are most likely to get pregnant, and this is the prime time for sexual intercourse. His sperm will move towards your egg much easier if your cervical mucous is of the right consistency.

4. Remember that this process takes time and that you should wait up to a year before asking a physician to assist you in becoming pregnant, due to your fertility issues.

Unfortunately, because so many women are desperate to get pregnant, drug and pharmaceutical companies are selling expensive prescription fertility pills in hopes of cashing in on this desperation. And of course many snake oil salesmen have appeared with fraudulent claims of instant fertility cures. These fertility drugs have been proven to lead to an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer. The truth of the matter is that infertility is a message telling your body that something is wrong on the inside. Instead of relying on dangerous prescription pills to get pregnant, you should take the route that Mother Nature has provided.

But these types of treatments often do more harm than good, and can lead to some very serious consequences for your child, including increased risk of premature birth and 9 times the risk of developing cerebral palsy. This is why natural methods of getting pregnant are always the safest route, because it increases the chances of your baby being a healthy and vibrant child.

Eat the Best Foods for Fertility and Avoid Foods That Lead to Infertility

As mentioned previously, infertility is a sure-shot sign that there is something wrong on the inside. And of course one of the best means of keeping your internal system in order and more conducive to getting pregnant, is by being selective about what you eat and don't eat. There are many foods that will assist you in your efforts to become pregnant, such as whole grain breads, beans, and full-fat dairy products. There are also foods and beverages that can decrease your chances of conceiving significantly, in some cases as much as 50%.

Always Use the Holistic Approach

Diet And Conception

HCG Diet
The HCG diet consists of a very low calorie diet and treatments of HCG that is administered through oral suspension or injections. It has been said that the diet actually helps people to understand the consumption of food and why it is important to only consume proportion sizes. HCG is what women produce in the placenta during pregnancy

HCG - Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy by the developing embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta). HCG synthesis is the indicator of the conception of pregnancy. But with the innovation in the field of medical science this hormone is now being exploited as a diet substitute for promoting weight loss (The HCG Diet). The primary role of HCG hormone is to prevent the dissolution of the corpus luteum of the ovary and by this means it maintains progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. Biochemical analysis depicts that HCG also show added functions; it affects the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. Apart from being an indicator to ensure the pregnancy during the early stages of conception, HCG is also produced by some kinds of tumor. This makes it an important tumor marker (The HCG Diet).

The basic function of HCG is to keep the blood stream filled with nutrients which the fetus can consume throughout the gestation. This function is exploited to make HCG Diet. Individuals (both men and women) who are injecting HCG are also allowing the blood stream to be filled with nutrients taken from the reserved fat. It is for this reason HCG diet is recommended to obese individuals. It effectively drops the personal calorie s to around 500 calories (The HCG Diet). Thus, as soon as HCG is injected the body derives its nutrient requirements not from the nutritional diet but from the already existing fat reservoir. This reserved fat burns out to provide ATP molecules and hence the energy. It is therefore manifested that the HCG diet allows dieters to drop 1-2 lbs per day. These injections aid in weight reduction by reducing hunger, and affecting mood (The HCG Diet).

How does it work?

HCG Low-dose human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) present in both men and women with the highest level of HCG in pregnant woman. Under normal conditions, HCG is given to female requiring help in ovulating and to men who require an increase in sperm count. Synthetically available or extracts of HCG are made available by extracting the hormone from the urine of a pregnant women. Supporters of HCG Diet are of firm belief that by adhering to the diet plan and taking daily injections of HCG, required or targeted reduced weight can be achieved. This is followed by eating plan with 500 calories (How does it work).

Along with HCG Diet, the diet encompasses not more than 500 calories, more water, vegetables and fiber in the daily meal plan. This is known to make the reduction in weight at a faster pace and that too without any exercise. The Diet also has restrictions on consumption of tea and coffee apart from only 100 gm of diet intake in lunch and also in dinner. The diet encompass, lean meat or sea food, paired with one vegetable, asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, celery, chard, chicory, cucumbers, fennel, green salad, onions, red radishes, spinach and tomatoes.(). HCG injections with the prescribed diet ensure weight loss (How does it work).

Side Effects

According to the FDA, HCG injections must be restricted to fertility only and not for dieting. The scientific and medical communities still lack significant confirmation regarding the HCG. Injecting HCG is not without danger as potential blood clot does exist. In females, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs. It is reported to be fatal. OHSS onsets with the symptoms of pelvic pain; stomach, arm or leg swelling, apart from headaches and depression. It is also evident that a young boys taking HCG might experience premature puberty. Also, if the hormone is passed to the fetus in pregnancy or from nursing women it cause harm to the baby. Other drawbacks involve risk of health (How does it work).

It is now proved through research that HCG injections showed no different feelings or results than a placebo injection and it is recommended that there is no rationale for the use of HCG injections in the treatment of obesity. HCG Diet is hype. On one hand, people on the HCG diet experiences, excellent results, and the HCG diet is considered a big success. On the other hand, when compared with the placebo effect, it is found to be fake and do not show any effect on the body. Also there is no difference shown in weight loss, or level of perceived hunger, or difference in blood nutrient levels (HCG Diet Studies Show Results Equal to Placebo).

Conclusion

HCG is Human Choriogonadotropin hormone present during pregnancy and is made available for the dieters in the market for purchase. This commercially available product is extracted from urine of pregnant women. The product serves as a HCG Diet. This regimen involves the process to cut the calories and to convert the fat into energy thereby burning the extra fat in the body to meet the energy requirement of the body. It is a boon for the obese individuals and those who need to maintain their body figure like the celebrities and people from the modeling and film industries. For e.g. Adnan Sami the famous singer is said to lose 107 kgs of weight by using the HCG Diet. The HCG Diet has a protocol of an HCG injection along with the salads, water and fruits and vegetables which are very low in calories and are simply filling stuffs. When a comparison is made between the individuals having the HCG Diet and those on the placebo then no difference was found between the two groups indicating that the HCG Diet does not have any implications on the health of the individuals. The parameters between the two studies encompassed weight loss, perceived hunger and blood nutrient levels.

The article emphasize on the safety issues associated with the HCG Diet. It can put an imbalance on the hormonal level leading to the alteration in the physiology of an individual and therefore causing various dreaded diseases like cancer and tumors. The HCG Diet is not as per the rules and regulations of the FDA and therefore one must consult the physician before trying to put a slim figure. It must be ensured that the daily routine of the individual is also affected with a low calorie intake of mere 500 calories. If an individual belongs to the category of hardworking or putting tough labour work or tight schedules then it is not recommended

Diet For Getting Pregnant

Hints For Getting Pregnant With A Girl Baby
So, you want to get pregnant and you have images of pink baby clothing, pig tails and sugar and spice dancing in your head? That's perfectly ok. I completely understand perspective parents wanting to choose their baby's gender for family planning, order, or personal preference. I've never understood the controversy surrounding gender selection. I have children of both sexes, but I chose their gender because I wanted to have them in a certain order and that has worked out very nice for my family. Of course I would've loved whatever gender the universe gave me in any order, but I saw nothing wrong with taking simple measures to stack the odds in my favor.

I think few would argue that gender selection in a clinic or with a specialist is very expensive even for the very wealthy. We are talking thousands of dollars here with no guarantee. In today's economy, very few couples are going to embrace this expense and risk. It's hard to justify that kind of chance taking when you need the money to raise the child you hope to have.

After a lot of research, I found an easy, all natural method to dramatically increase your chances of having a female baby. I don't believe in Chinese calendars or astrology. I was only willing to try methods that were backed by hard science. I'm a literal thinker, so I don't put much faith in the experimental. It would take me hours to go into full detail, since every couple's situation is unique, but here are the basics. In order to conceive a girl, you need three things, as follows:

Ovulation / Conception Timing: In gender selection, you need to know when you are ovulating with razor sharp accuracy. That's because to up the odds of having pink in your future, you'll want to try to conceive BEFORE you ovulate. (This is completely different for a boy, when you want to conceive on the day of ovulation.) Most experts suggest charting ovulation for about three months so you can anticipate this. There are all kinds of suggestions for predicting the release of your egg, including cervical mucus, the tightness of your ovaries, and basal temperature, but I found these were not accurate enough for me. I suppose that, again, I needed the hard science.

Dietary And Other Adjustments To Create A PH Favorable ToGetting Pregnant WithA Girl Baby: The vaginal and body PH is vital to creating an environment friendly to X (girl) sperm. You can help to create a favorable PH through your diet. To produce a baby girl, you should consume extra magnesium and calcium. Note that there's an old wive's tale about taking a supplement called Lydia Pinkham's Herbal Compound. But, I would caution that it's better (and safer) to obtain nutrients from food rather than from supplements. There are specific foods that are very effective at altering PH. Be very careful of taking anything which might alter your hormones even slightly, as supplements sometimes can. Taking soy supplements once altered my ovulation before I knew any better, so I am very careful now.

Gender selection clinics will often prescribe douches to greatly alter the vaginal PH. They typically charge over 0 for these. You can often replicate this at home with simple ingredients.

Intercourse Positioning: Intercourse positioning is probably the most widely known variable for gender selection. However, I would argue that it is just one of the three variables and it alone is probably not enough. Different intercourse variations will position the sperm closer or further away from the cervix. For a female baby, shallow penetration is favored, while parents who want a boy should try for deeper penetration.

All of the above three variables need to be optimal to ensure highly favorable odds for conceiving a daughter. The good news is achieving each can be simple, inexpensive, and extremely effective.

Conceive A Girl is a website that offers: a resource for the 0 gender clinic douche recipe described in this article; tips; how tos; and a very effective three step method for couples wishing to conceive a baby girl. Visit us at http://conceive-a-girl-baby.com/

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How can I determine what gender baby I'm having in the future?
    Well, I'm 14, and I most certainly am not having a baby right now. Lot's of people think that I'll have a boy baby when I grow up. Are there any tricks or whatever that you could do to determine what sex your first child will be?

    • ANSWER:
      My wife gynaecologist told us, during planning of baby time, weeks or months before even having sex, the couple can plan in such a way to push the possibility of having the planned gender well:

      If husband eat more acidic food, like sour food, meat, etc; and the wife more of vegetables (the opposite of husband eat), then more likely the gender of the baby can be male.

      And vice versa. I tried this method, and it worked, I had 4 boys consecutively.

  2. QUESTION:
    Some body told me that sex different position can choose and determine baby gender is this true ?
    If its true than which positons? My friend told me that having front position have chance of baby girl and back position chance is baby boy ? Give me my question right answer. thank you
    if true than what positions? I try for baby girl having front position . so it is a girl . but i dont know that its really work. Do you guys have any experince that can share with me i am also thinking about baby boy so lets see what is my luck? any suggesttions. Thank You

    • ANSWER:
      here is some info on gender selections good luck
      OK here it is the female sperm are heavier so they swim slower than the male sperm so it is said to have sex 3 days before ovulation that way there is only the female sperm

      Intercourse further away from ovulation favors the larger slower moving X (girl) sperm. The weaker Y (boy) sperm will die more quickly in the more acidic preovulatory vaginal / cervical secretions and by the time of ovulation there will be a much larger concentration of X (girl) sperm available to fertilize the egg
      According to Dr. Shettles' theory, there are several
      things you can do to "favor" the conception of Boys or
      Girls...

      Position of intercourse:

      A shallow penetration will favor girls and a deeper will
      favor boys. So use missionary position for a girl and rear
      entry for a boy.

      PH of the woman's tract:

      A more acidic environment favors girls and a more alkaline
      environment favors boys. Shettles recommends a douche of
      water and vinegar immediatly before intercourse for a girl
      or a douche of water and baking soda for a boy. Don't try
      this before reading Shettles ! You have to dilute the douches
      properly, according to his formula, or they won't help and

      Woman's orgasm:

      When a woman has an orgasm, the body releases some kind of
      substance that makes the environment more alkaline, favoring
      boys. Dr. Shettles recommends no orgasm when trying for a
      girl!
      this all I could find for the vinger douch good luck
      If you decide to do the vinegar douche, 1 tsp of white vinegar in 1 cup (8 ounces) of warm tap water. Wash the vagina up to 30 minutes before intercourse. This may change the efficiency of vaginal lubrication. Do not use more often than every other day and a maximum of 3 times in one week. Stronger solutions will cause serious irritation.
      For those who are going to try the baking soda, 1 level tsp in 2 cups (16 ounces) of warm tap water. This solution predisposes to some infections (the vagina is normally acidic):only use twice in one week close to ovulation as shown by past temperature records or an ovulation detection kit.

      Okay, so, I'm embarrassed to even ask, but are there any strategies I can
      employ to tilt the odds my way if my husband and I want to conceive a girl?
      Our first child is a boy, and we love him dearly, but we'd love to have a
      girl as well.

      Thanks!
      Ellen

      Dear Ellen:

      There is no scientifically validated method to select the sex of a baby prior to conception.
      A generation-plus ago, Landrum Shettles authored a book on sex selection: he promoted position during intercourse, timing of coitus relative to ovulation, and changing the vaginal pH. The principle behind all of these ideas is that the Y-bearing (male) sperm swims faster and by a rear-entry (knees to chest) position (gravity), close to ovulation, and basic pH (baking soda) to expedite swimming, the Y-sperm are assisted in getting to the egg first.
      More recently, Erickson has promoted separating the sperms using a laboratory column method (Like sieving different sizes of objects) and doing artificial insemination with the sperms of interest. Other laboratory techniques using light beams to "short cells"; electromagnetic fields; chemicals of different densities have all been tried. Healthcare has a motive: there are serious, hereditable conditions that only occur in one sex, and an effective selection method would save couples the agony of selecting during pregnancy.
      Since you have had only one child, we have no reason to believe your odds are different than 50/50. When couples have several children of the same sex, it turn out the husband is more likely to develop more of the X-bearing or Y-bearing sperm, thereby tipping the balance toward one sex.

      If you decide to do the vinegar douche, 1 tsp of white vinegar in 1 cup (8 ounces) of warm tap water. Wash the vagina up to 30 minutes before intercourse. This may change the efficiency of vaginal lubrication. Do not use more often than every other day and a maximum of 3 times in one week. Stronger solutions will cause serious irritation.
      For those who are going to try the baking soda, 1 level tsp in 2 cups (16 ounces) of warm tap water. This solution predisposes to some infections (the vagina is normally acidic):only use twice in one week close to ovulation as shown by past temperature records or an ovulation detection kit.
      Douches can be delivered with a bulb syringe or a bag. If one uses the bulb syringe, do not squeeze so hard that it becomes a jet of fluid: gentle is the message. If one uses a reservoir bag, lie in a tub of warm water, hang the bag on the shower head, and allow the fluid to bathe the vagina.

  3. QUESTION:
    I went to the doctor for my ultrasound to determine the baby gender and they couldn't do it ....?
    I went to the doctor for my ultrasound to determine the baby gender and they couldn't do it because of the position the baby was in or something. i guess somehow the baby's feet were crossed or something... are there places where i can go where they do ultrasounds to find out the gender of the baby and how much does it cost?

    • ANSWER:
      well if he/she has its legs crossed & they are unable to determine the gender than you'd just have to wait & see when the baby wants to change its position.

      sometimes you have to jump around & do movements to make baby change its position.try drinking something cold.
      i had to move around alot to make my son change positions so they could get a good look at the rest of his body & finish all the ultrasound.

      good luck.

  4. QUESTION:
    is it legal to determine gender of baby in thailand?
    going to phuket for holiday. will be 25 weeks pregnant then.
    would like to do an ultrasound, to see if baby is boy or girl.
    is it legal? can i go to any hospital, as i'm a foreign tourist?
    what is the procedure? which are the best hospitals?
    i hold valid travel insurance.

    • ANSWER:
      Is it legal? Yes, absolutely. Also, you may go to any hospital you choose to have it done. I would, however, recommend that you go to a private hospital. The costs are minimal, and the overall healthcare system in Thailand is fairly good.

      When my wife had her ultrasound done, the cost was 400 baht (this was less than 2 months ago). The doctor visit- as they will likely require a prenatal check-up will be 400 baht.

      Most hospitals charge 50 - 100 baht for an office visit, but my wife paid 400 baht each time she went in for a check up during her pregnancy.

      So, the cost will be roughly 800 baht total, perhaps slightly higher in Phuket, but not likely more than 1000. Your insurance should pick up the tab without blinking.

      The procedure might be tedious, but is not at all complicated. The day you want to do the ultrasound, arrive to the hospital between 8 and 9 a.m. Go to the information desk, and tell them you want an ultrasound done. They will ask you for a Passport and ask you to fill out a form. If the form is written in Thai, ask for a staff member who speaks English to assist you. After you fill out the form, you will be given a queue card. It is unlikely that anyone will be ahead of you in queue, but the Thais are VERY big on procedure. When your number is called, you will collect an ID card issued for you by the hospital. Once you have your ID card, you will be given another card, and escorted to the area where the ultrasound will be performed. They will call your number, give you a blue gown to slip into and do the procedure. When you are finished, you get dressed, get another queue card, go to the cashier and pay.

      In total, you will be there about 90 minutes. Depending on whether or not they are busy, you could be finished in well under an hour. I do not think that you could possibly spend more than 2 hours there.

      Hope this helps. It should be quick, easy, and cheap. Make sure you get around to the cape on Phuket, it is a really beautiful spot. Take some photos, and most of all have a nice stay here. If you have any other/ more specific questions, feel free to email me.

  7. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to determine the gender of a baby, before sex?
    In Indian palm line astrology can says number of babies and their gender.

    In Kamasutra book says the nose breathing side change every 45mins. Based on the couple’s left and right breathing combination at the time of sex, can determine the gender the baby.

    Another old method, Based on the Girl's time of attending age (1st period) calcute with time of sex, can find the gender of the baby.

      Of course it _may_ be correct. Just like every other random gender guess, it will be right 50% of the time.

  8. QUESTION:
    Can timing intercourse before ovulation determine your baby's gender?
    I have 3 boys and I recently found out I was pregnant again. When I got pregnant with my boys I always had intercourse the day before or the day of ovulation. This time around I only had intercourse 5 days before ovulation. Would that make my chances higher of having a girl? Has anyone else done this and got a girl or tried for a boy and had intercourse 1-2 days before ovulation and got a boy?

    • ANSWER:
      I dont believe those myths personally. It is probably only a coincidence that you ended up getting boys those times....Good luck

    I've heard all the old wives tales but is there a gender test sold over the counter and if so is it pricey.

  10. QUESTION:
    Is 2D ultrasound accurate enough to determine baby's gender?
    I had one at 19 weeks and was told I was having a baby girl. The baby was not cooperating very well and it took quite a while to made the decision. But I'd clearly seen something bigger enough than a girl's thing and thought is was a boy right before the determination. One of the staff told me the accuracy was nearly 100% at 19 weeks but I'm still confused......

    • ANSWER:
      no ultrasound can be 100%; the ONLY 100% gender prediction is an amniocentisis, and thats b/c it takes some of the babies DNA to test for defects. u/s is fairly accurate, and its not very common to be told its one and it come out the other, but its possible. by a 2D, 3D, 4D whatever. 19 weeks is the "right" or most common time to go see the gender, so its likely the tech was correct. they do know better than any of us what they are talking about since theyve been doing it longer and are trained in what to look for. sometimes as well, the girls labia can be a bit swelled, and can make it look like a boy, and as someone said, you also could have seen the umbilical cord between her legs. good luck, and glad you have a healthy baby!!

  11. QUESTION:
    Gender of baby determined at 16 weeks possible?
    I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant. At my 16 week mark, I will be having an ultrasound to check on a mass found on a previous ultrasound (they think it's a hemorrhagic cyst). I'm just wondering if I should bring my husband along with me to this appointment in case they are capable of determining the gender of our baby (this is our second child). Has anyone had this happen to them before or know of anyone who has bad this happen to?

    • ANSWER:
      yes it is decently possible they will be able to tell you. sometimes they can tell as early as 14 weeks

  12. QUESTION:
    Is there anything that matters at the point of conception to determine a baby's gender?
    It is likely that conception occurred about two or three weeks ago. I don't mind whether we have a boy or a girl, but I would be really interested to know the reliability of various gender predictors before the 20-week scan.
    I am 34 years old and my Girlfriend is 33 years old.

    • ANSWER:
      If you had sex a day or 2 before she ovulated, possible girl cause the xx (female) sperm live longer. If you had sex day of ovulation possible boy cause the xy (male) are stronger swimmers. I have read this before in several different places.
      I have also heard but don't know how true it is, that a fast heart beat means girl and a slower one means boy.

  13. QUESTION:
    Anyone try at home urine test to determine baby's gender?
    I didn't even know these existed until today! I was looking up info on the possibility of finding out the sex of my baby at 15 weeks and came across these tests. They say you can use then any time after 10 weeks. Has anyone used them or heard of them? If you have used them, was it accurate?

    Here is the website
    http://www.intelligender.com

    • ANSWER:
      I've seen one kind at Target and its about 35 dollars.
      I've read some reviews on it, and they're not so favorable.
      Apparently a lot of people got wrong results.

      You know what though? Even though a lot of people were disappointed with inaccuracy of this test, I'm still tempted to give it a try. Stupid, I know.

      Either way, you can do this for fun if you don't mind spending the money. I wouldn't start buying baby clothes just yet though.

      Good luck.

  15. QUESTION:
    can you really determine early gender of baby based on heart rate, or just old wives tale?
    at 9 week ultrasound, heart rate was 175. can i really hope its a girl based on this? has anyone else had a fetus with a higher heart rate but ended up being a boy?

    • ANSWER:
      The heart rate is an old wives tale. The baby's heart rate changes all the time- it can be high or low and is no indication of gender. The heart rate will be high at 9 weeks. The only way to know with 100% certainty the sex of the baby is to give birth.

    Sex position determines baby gender ?
    Ok so first of all my husband and I would like to gave a baby boy !! I heard yesterday that the sex position of the couple is a big factor in the baby gender ... Missionary position for a girl and "doggie style" for a boy . Well we did it missionary !! I don't know if I'm pregnant yet but if I am are my chances higher of having a girl ? Has anyone ever did it missionary and had a boy or "doggie style" and had a girl !!! I know thy is a personal question but I'm desparate !!! Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      Position does not make a difference! I wish it were that simple!

  19. QUESTION:
    Should I do anything to help the tech determine the baby gender at the scan?
    We have our 20 week scan coming up on Wednesday :)

    Of course I realize that the scan is to make sure that the baby is developing ok - however a fun little bonus is that often times they can tell if you are having a boy or a girl :)

    I also know that sometimes they cant tell because the baby is in a weird position or has their legs closed etc.

    I had read a few things online saying to drink juice or eat some sugary candies before the appointment to ensure the baby will be awake and moving around - to hopefully get a better chance of seeing the sex....

    Then Ive also read women saying that the tech couldnt see the sex because the baby was moving TOO much lol!

    Which is better? Just stick with the water they tell you to drink before the appointment, or attempt to drink some sugary juice to get the baby active beforehand?

    Ladies who had the scan done and WERE able to find out the sex, did you do anything/eat anything etc to better your chances of seeing anything....

    • ANSWER:
      I was 18 weeks when I got mine and the tech knew it was a boy with 1 minute. All I did was eat a chicken n biscuit and a coke for breakfast and went straight to the ultrasound. My baby wasn't active at all and actually had his legs crossed. But, we were still easily able to tell it was a he. Obviously, the caffeine and sugar from the coke didn't do much for him because he was very calm. He moved a little but no jumping or anything out of the ordinary. The tech I saw said it's actually good to not over-do caffeine or sugar with an ultrasound because they can get far too active and then you can't measure/see anything. I might would try drinking a soft drink or something with a little sugar/caffeine in it before you go but nothing extreme. Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to tell.

  20. QUESTION:
    When should I have sex to have a boy or a girl? Is there any method that can help determine the baby's gender?
    Once I heard that only male carry females or male sperms and mens are who "decide" wether if is a girl or a boy, but I was searching for information about this curious data and I found out that for that to be determine women body take's an importat roll, because acid fluids are more concentrate in a certain period, like when ovulating and when acid fluids are less concetrate wich is supposed to be when you're not ovulating you are more propense to have a boy or a girl. So, If I what to have a boy when should I have sex? When ovulating? or If I want to have a girl should I have sex before of after ovulating?

    • ANSWER:
      They claim that the Shettle Method can be very effective...
      if you want a boy, conceive the closest to ovulation as possible; the day of ovulation to two days after. NOT BEFORE. Doggy style position is the best for conceiving a boy because your partner will deposit his sperm closer to your cervix and the Y sperm won't have that far to go, considering they die quicker than the X sperm YET swim faster.
      For a girl, try conceiving 1-2 days BEFORE ovulation. X sperm swim for longer periods of time YET they are slower. By the time ovulation comes, the boy sperm will have already died off. Have sex in the missionary style; man on top. The sperm will be farther from the cervix. The female sperm will have the longer stamina to get to the cervix, even through they're slower.
      Hope this helps. For more information, go to babyhopes.com, and look under "determining the sex of your baby." Good Luck.

  21. QUESTION:
    When is the gender of a baby determined?
    Is a human embryo's gender determined immediately at conception or later? If later, how many days/months later?

    • ANSWER:
      Conception. You carry the X chromosone and the male sperm has 50% X and 50% Y chromosones. So what ever one makes it to the egg will determine the sex.

  22. QUESTION:
    Is it still possible to still find out baby's gender at 29 weeks?
    Is it still possible to be able to determine baby's gender at 29 weeks pregnant?
    I had an ultrasound at 18 weeks and the Ultrasound tech couldn't see my baby's gender because
    he or she had its legs crossed... My husband made a 3D/4D ultrasound appointment for this Saturday, but I'm wondering if the tech would be able to see, since by now the baby is bigger and I do know its recommended from 18 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

    Thank you for your help! =)

    • ANSWER:
      As long as the legs are open they can tell :) I was told I was having a girl at 20 weeks. They confirmed it at 28 weeks. The 3D ultrasounds are easier to tell also because they can see better. They can also have you move around in different positions to make the baby move if the legs are closed. Best of luck to you and congrats mommy!! :D

  23. QUESTION:
    Can you determine the gender of your baby based on when you conceive?
    I have read in several books that depending on what point around ovulation you have sex, this could determine the gender of your baby. Does anyone know if this is true? For example, I read that if you bd 2-3 prior to ovulation then you are more likely to have a girl bc the females live longer, but if it's the day of ovulation, it is more likely to be a boy bc the males swim quicker but don't live as long. Has anyone heard this. Does anyone know if it is true?

    • ANSWER:
      It actually is true, proven by several doctors.

      Here's an article on it: http://www.childbirth.org/articles/sex.html

      It was also shown on the mom show and their doctor said it worked.

  24. QUESTION:
    Has anyone had a wrong ultrasound to determine gender of baby?
    I had an ultrasound done 2 days ago to measure the length of baby and determining the sex. The technician was more focused on the measurements, growth, internal organs, etc... She took a couple seconds to look between the legs and said it's a baby girl. Don't get me wrong I want a daughter but she typed on the screen "It looks like a girl?" and now we have an ultrasound picture that says "It looks like a girl?"....Some thing tells me it might be wrong just because I swear I thought I was having a boy. I'm not sure if it's a mother's intuition to know the sex of her unborn baby but I thought it was going to be a boy. I'm 19 weeks along, I hear that a baby boy's scrotum does not drop till about 20-21 weeks. Should I get my hopes up and start getting ready for a little girl or should I reschedule an appointment else where? I have tricare prime so checking the sex of baby might not be an option. I know that ultrasounds aren't always accurate but I would like to hear stories. A nurse I know was told at the same hospital that she was having 2 girls for her first and 2nd pregnancy, she ended up popping out boys! Please help!
    This is the ultrasound picture.

    • ANSWER:
      My friend had her anomaly scan at 19 weeks and she was told she was having a girl. She went out and bought pink clothes, and I even helped her shop for a girly pram. This morning at 6am via C section she gave birth to a boy!!

      It goes to show that they really can get it wrong! She got so used to the idea of having a girl and was so happy and suprised to find out it was a boy - which is what she wanted all along.

      If you can afford a private scan I would wait until just after 20 weeks, maybe 21 + weeks to have a gender scan. The genitals develop more every week so I would wait another two and then get a scan sorted out. You never know, you might be carrying a boy. If you desperately want to confirm it, get another scan done privately.

    I just read in a magazine that you can determine you baby sex with the many foods you take into your body... women who want boys can increase their chance by eating ample amounts of high enegy foods...food with high calories... and I guess if you want a girl, you will be doing the opposite.

    You can find out the baby’s gender 5 weeks after you conceived. By doing the test you can find out 3 months earlier than going to the doctor’s for an ultrasound, and ultrasounds are not as accurate as a blood test.

  33. QUESTION:
    Determine the gender of your baby in sims 3?
    I won't to know the gender of my sims baby from a doctor how do I do that?

    • ANSWER:
      If one of your sims is in the science career path and has reached the cross-breeder robot thing (I forgot what its called) they will be able to predict the gender of the baby. The bad thing about this is that once they do this, there's no way you will be able to change the gender. What you could do is save before you predict the gender, and then keep going back until you get what gender you wanted.

      Or, the easier way is to use this method. As soon as you "try for baby" and hear the lullaby (so you know your sim is pregnant) or you get morning sickness, start eating either ONLY apples or ONLY watermelons. Watermelons give you girls, apples give you boys. This method works about 90 perccent of the time, so make sure you save your game often. Also, remember that as soon as your sim goes into labor, if you save and go back you can't change anything.

      happy simming :P

  36. QUESTION:
    How will I determine the gender of my baby bunnies?
    They are 2 weeks old. They grow so fast, their eyes are open and they run around. I want to know their gender...Please help.

    • ANSWER:
      A slit close to the anal opening indicates a girl and a circle that pops up is a boy.
      But you must push back on the appendage far enough or they all look like girls!
      After the males reach sexual maturity it is much easier to tell. The testicles descend at 4 to 6 months.

  37. QUESTION:
    What are some ways to determine a gender of a baby before the gender finding ultrasound?
    I heard some people say that girls sit lower in the pelvic region or you can determine from foods you crave. Is that true?

    • ANSWER:
      Hello, Selena - Sadly, no... those are all myths, nothing more. To be honest, the only 100% accurate way to find out your baby's gender is to, well... give birth to him/her. Sure, ultrasounds are usually always right when it comes to this, but not all of the time - so, be prepard. I hope all goes well, though. Take care! *Mama Stroud*

  38. QUESTION:
    how do I determine what my babies Gender is?
    I am having a baby and about 6 weeks pregnant. How can I see what the gender is of my baby? I heard that on certain days of the month you can conceive a boy and certain days a girl? True or False? Also I heard the doctor can tell by the rate of the babies heartbeat? True or False? Any other way?

    • ANSWER:
      All the things you heard are wives tales and have been proven true at times and false at times. With 50/50 chance of being accurate those stories remain around. However, the only way to really tell for sure is having an ultrasound, and those have not always been accurate either. Although, the chinese calendar and other games are fun to do, you can't depend on them to be right. Good Luck!!

  39. QUESTION:
    How can I determine the gender of a baby rat?
    I guess the baby rat is about 4 or 5 weeks old, so for me it has been kind of difficult to tell if it's a boy or a girl...
    Please be explicit with your methods, thanx!

    • ANSWER:
      At that age, they can still draw up their testicles inside their body when they are scared. At about 6 weeks though, they rarely ever do this, so if you are still having problems with it, it should become much easier in just 1 or 2 weeks. Heres another site for sexing them. You have to scroll down a little to get to the rat section.
      http://www.afrma.org/sexing101.htm
      Also, what that person said in the first comment is also true. One of the main ways of sexing rats at an extremely young age is by seeing if they have nipples. You may need to part the hair to do this if it has long or dark colored fur. Hope I helped.

    Pregnant Sims in The Sims 3: will eating certain foods help determine the gender of the baby?
    Is it true that, in The Sims 3, if a pregnant Sim eats certain foods, she will be more likely to give birth to a certain gender? If that's true, I'm interested in knowing what would make a girl baby more likely...

  41. QUESTION:
    Can a urine test really determine the gender of your unborn baby?
    can a urine test really determine the sex of your unborn baby? ive asked this question 3 times but i keep getting mixed answers. i am really confused on how urine could even tell you the gender of your baby. what does pee have to do with the sex of your baby? does a pregnant womans pee change if its a boy or girl?

    • ANSWER:
      No, a urine test could not reliably tell the gender of your baby. It is thought that certain hormone levels are higher/lower depending on if you're carrying a boy vs. girl, and that is the principle those type of tests go on.
      The tests are about as accurate predicting gender based on if you're carrying "high" or "low"; like a "basketball" or a "watermelon"; or whether or not you had morning sickness or heartburn.

  42. QUESTION:
    Do genetics determine the gender of your baby?
    i know all about the xx and xy chromosones, but does the male side of the families genetics determine the sex of the baby?

    like if the father of my child has all boys on his side of the family, will my child most likey be a boy?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm not too sure. But I have two uncles who married two sisters. The first couple ended up having five girls, while the other couple ended up having five boys.

  43. QUESTION:
    if you eat certain foods can it determine the gender of your baby?
    i have herd from people that if you eat certain foods it can determine the gender of your baby,for example if you eat a lot of chicken them you will have a boy..is any of this true?
    thank You: )

    • ANSWER:
      Absolutely untrue. The gender of the baby is determined by whether a "female" or "male" sperm infiltrates the egg. If you want to have any control whatsoever on the sex, trying to have sex on the day of ovulation will more likely result in a boy, while having sex a day or so before will more likely result in a girl. This is because "male" sperm swim faster (so would get to an already released egg first) and "female" sperm are heavier and swim slower, but live longer (so would more likely fertilize an egg dropped 24 hours after sex).

  44. QUESTION:
    Has anyone used the babies hear trate to accurately determine the gender of their baby?
    My baby has a heart rate of between 150 - 155bpm at most doctor's visit. According to the old wives tale anything over 140 bpm is usually a girl. Has anyone had any experience with this. I didn't find out the sex at my scan.

    • ANSWER:
      Well my midwife is currently tracking my baby's heartrate and I'm like you - it is always well over 150bpm. She says, "definately a girl" but then she said at the end of the day there is only a 70-80% chance that it will be a girl.

      So it's not completely an old wives tale, there is some science in it, but you can get fooled and a boy will pop out 20-30% of the time apparently!!!

  45. QUESTION:
    How far along in a pregnancy can you determine the gender of the baby?
    I am 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant as of today. I was just wondering when I can find out what I will be having. I have had no complications so far, and i am really excited on knowing what my baby will be!!

    • ANSWER:
      I got to find out the gender at around 20 weeks. I think they can sometimes tell early, but will normally schedule the gender ultrasound between 18-20 weeks, so that any parts can be more clearly identifiable.

Determine Babys Gender

How Does The Man's Sperm Determine The Gender Of The Baby?
The other day, I received an email from a woman who told me that she had read that it's the man (or the father-to-be) who determines baby sex and gender. She asked, "Isit the sperm that determines if you will have a boy or a girl? And, if so, why is this true and how can I use this knowledge to get the gender that Iwant?" I will address these concerns, and try to answer these questions, in the following article.

Why The Sperm IsMajor Factor In Whether You Conceive A Boy Or A Girl: In truth, both the mother and the father are going to contribute half of the genetic blueprint for the baby that they are conceiving. However, what the mother contributes does not change and cannot fluctuate no matter what you do. In other words, our mothers always give us an X chromosome to which our dad will add either an X or a Y. In terms of gender, XX eventually gets you a female infant and XY will eventually give you a male infant.

These different sums are possible answers to the equation because the man or the father-to-be can change his contribution. He can either give an X or a Y. Now, other then PGD testing, there is really no way to see what's going on inside and to handpick which you get. But, knowing what we know about the differences between them does offer clues as to how we can influence the outcome.

People often ask me if there is a way to tell if their husband or partner has more X's (if they want a girl) or Y's (if they want a boy)to contribute. In other words, they want to know if their partner is more likely to conceive a boy or a girl. It's generally agreed that men have equal numbers of all of the chromosomes. One study has suggested that there may be very slight seasonal differences (like more Y's (boys) available in the fall months) but this has by no means been proven and the study shows only a slight increase.

Influencing Whether The Sperm Contributes An X Or A Y To Determine The Preferred Baby Gender:As I said, unless you have a specialist take a look inside to see (or influence) what's going on, you often aren't going to know what is really happening until you are already pregnant and can get an ultrasound.

But, you can use what we know about these X's and Y's to come up with a regimen that is going to give you the best chance to get the baby gender that you are hoping for. We know that the X's (or girls) can live for many days longer than the Y's. This is especially true if we expose the Y or boy sperm to a highly acidic environment. So, if a daughter is your goal, then you want to conceive before ovulation day comes and you want to make absolutely sure that your vaginal environment is acidic.

If you are hoping for a son, then you want to conceive or have sex after ovulation day comes and you want to get your vaginal environment to have an alkaline reading, which is essentially a low PH. Some tools that can help you no matter which gender you are going for is PH testers and ovulation predictors. It also helps to know which foods and douches are acidic and alkaline.

There is one more thing to know. The sexual positions that you use can also help you to reach your goals. Shallow penetration helps discourage the Y sperm and is best if you are trying to conceive a girl. Deeper penetration will achieve the opposite.It helps the Y sperm have less exposure to what makes them vulnerable.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Days You Can T Get Pregnant

Falling Into Love with Someone You can't have Falling in Love with Someone You Can’t Have
Getting over someone can sometimes appear to be impossible. It feels really bad when you fall in love with someone you can’t have. It feels even worse when you are sure that this relationship can never work out. I think that this is the worst thing that could ever happen to someone. I believe that to forget someone is one of the hardest “assignments” given in life, especially if you had this gut feeling that he/she is the ONE. Therefore all of these thoughts crossing my mind drove me deeply into the psychology of what is called falling wrongly into love.
Warning
After this writing has been read, hopefully your way of thinking will be permanently modified, those breakups that kept you depressed for years, won’t take few weeks or even days before you forget all about them. Getting over someone you love will be a matter of weeks if not days.

If you think that pain is an essential part of love, if you think that lovers should suffer then stop reading. However, if you believe that exaggerated attachment is something that hinders you from living a happy life and if you believe that this pain is unnecessary then keep reading. Breakups won’t hurt like they used to, you wont label anybody as the one from now on and recovery is going to take place much faster.

How to get over someone you love

Since I am not a magician, I can’t say that a simple writing will do the job, and this pain won’t disappear in a blink of an eye, but remember, reading this will make you feel as you are a step closer to the reward- “getting rid of this pain that unfortunately could last for years.

Read this writing carefully, you don’t have to do it in one day, just make sure you give yourself the time to understand it.

Figuring out how to get over someone you love can be one of the most difficult things that any of us will ever have to do. The pain of loss can be very intense and finding the answers can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. You need to know that it will take a lot of time and some days will be harder than others. If you have been with someone for a long period of time, their absence can make you feel like a part of you is missing, like you just had your heart ripped right out of your chest. But once you discover how to get over someone you love, the pain in your heart will lessen and you sill start feeling more like your old self again.

Sometimes I wish I could just smack the idiot that came up with the phrase "Time heals all wounds". Actually, the person that said that, is right. You may not want to hear this but, time is the exact remedy needed for this wound. That being said, it does not mean that you have to like it. I know that I never did. There are ways for you to take an active approach in helping time heal you a little faster though.

Start by ditching the photos. You do not need the constant visual reminder of happy times spent with that person drawing your attention at every turn. Throw away or put in storage any of their belongings that they have left behind. You may also want to consider trying to stay away from some of the places that the two of you used to hang out at. You will never find out how to get over someone you love if you are constantly running into them.

Don't be afraid to use your friends as a sounding board. In most cases they have been through a painful break up too. Spend as much time with them as you can. When you are having a good time with friends, your mind will be occupied and you will not be thinking about that person so much. Just because you are trying to figure out how to get over someone you love does not mean that you should stop living your life. I know that this can be a very trying time in your life. Losing someone you love is never easy. But there is one thing that you may not have considered. Is it really and truly over between you and your “loving person”? If you really do love them it may be possible for you to get your “loving person” back. You can lose  the love of your life due to both of :being foolish, stubborn, and too proud to admit that you are really in love and needed . Of course, you are the only one that can decide if the love you have is worth saving. If there is even a possibility that you can save your relationship, you really need to give it a try.

A Painful Process

To get over someone you love you have to realize that there are no easy answers. No matter how ready you think you are, the fact that you are asking yourself how to get over someone you love, means that it is going to be a painful process. It can be a slow process… You might think you are over someone and a year later being reminded of that person and feel sad again. That does not mean that you’re not overcome the loving person.

If you are emotionally invested in a “supposed” relationship and it ends, it could make you feel sad for years. Maybe even for the rest of your life. But that does not mean the sadness has to make you feel depressed. You can get over your loss and still know that it made you sad. It’s the period of time soon after the loss that will be the hardest to get passed. This is the period where you ask yourself “how to get over someone you love and she does not love you back”.

Removing Reminders

If the break up is a fresh one usually the only way to get over the pain is to face it straight out and let time pass. It is going to hurt, no matter what you do. But there are some things you can do to lessen the pain. Start with removing noticeable visual reminders of the person if possible. Pictures of them can be put away for now. Gifts they gave you can also be put away for now. Avoiding the places you used to go together is a good idea as well. This tip can be found in lists everywhere on how to get over a lost love so it is at least a popular idea that is worth trying.

Living Life after the Breakup

If you are having difficulty living your life after the breakup, it might be a good idea to seek counseling. Simply let the counselor know that you just went through a break up and ask the counselor how to get over someone you love. They can offer you better advice than a generic list about how to get over someone you love. They can also offer better advice than family and friends.

Friends and Family

Your friends and family may feel they know your situation too well. Some of them may even have motives to help you get over the person who does not love you back. They might have not liked the person so they want you to get over them quickly and move on to someone else. With a counselor you can privately tell them things you would not want your friends and family to know.

If you seek out counseling you should continue to see them for as long as you need to. If the counselor feels like you are dwelling on the breakup longer than you need to, they will let you know.
Practical Advices  
Here are several advices:
Ask yourself what might be in his/her head or his/her heart; it takes two people to be in a relationship and even though you feel the way that you do, maybe it was meant to be this way. Save your love for someone who feels the same way about you! In my case, I know I fell in love in a person I should consider my best friend, this way I broke my sacred oath. I ask myself “Is she worth my love;  Is she too young to realize what she's doing to me.  I guess that's that." It's not about getting over a loving person; it's about feeling good about you. It's about knowing that you are the most important and you need to be happy. If this other person doesn't feel the same way, it doesn't really matter. This situation is always an unfortunate one. It is ideal for 2 people to love each other the same, and at the same pace, but life is never ideal. To get this kind of relationship to work, you need patience! You have to weigh either waiting for her or moving on as options. If your feelings are real, and you choose to hang in there, you must not scare her away with your feelings! If things are meant to work out, you should be great friends before lovers anyway. While you let both your feelings reach equilibrium, you'll find it becomes easier sometimes just to ignore your strong feelings for her and just kick-back and chill with her. It's not always important to impress her, or do nice things for her in a loving way. It may give you hope to know that she can see you in the same light, just not so quickly. Tough circumstance - being in love with someone who does not feel the same way as you do. It's not a problem - you can fix those, this is almost like "it's raining outside" - just have to deal. Objective advice: If someone doesn't feel the same way as you do - walk off. Don't even give them the privilege of friendship because you'll suck yourself back into the delusion. Do things for yourself, keep busy, bury yourself in work and keep searching for what you really want and need. Don't do what I have done. Firstly, love is a peculiar thing. There is an almost ludicrous asymmetry between two people. The person at the top of your best friend list may rank you only at the middle of his or her list. However, if you truly, truly loved someone, then you'd be able to realize that it's OK if they don't love you back. True love gives and expects nothing in return; a true unrequited love. So, I've moved on from my perfect potential companion. She gave me the strength to realize that I can move on. She gave me the courage to try something different. She gave me the wisdom and sense for me to also respect myself. So, if you truly loved them, it doesn't matter if they feel the same way, your love conquers all. It is strange when you’re hurt from rejection, to hear someone say: move on things will be fine. No matter how much you love her, she never loves you back. For all those wondering what went wrong, I can say one thing, just stop wondering say it really aloud "SHE IS JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU". Only when one stops chasing and pursing someone who doesn't love you, will you open the door to that perfect person who will love you back with the same intensity that you will love him. If you believe in destiny then you have know that things happen when they are meant to be. People part for reasons beyond human comprehension but the reality remains if you are meant to love each other and be with each other, it will happen. That's the power of destiny. Love always wins. Love is important and only it counts. The older I get, the more I believe that some people are full of the capacity to love - like me - and others are incapable of it in the romantic sense, for whatever reason. Fear of commitment. A distorted view of freedom. The desire to stay young forever? A deep unwillingness to give themselves over to another (selfish)? It is an absolute rock and a hard place. Loving someone who doesn't love you back is the most impossible situation imaginable, especially when the love is so strong and you are a slave to it.  For those of you whose situation is similar, this is what I suggest: Deal with reality. Stop hoping, dreaming, etc. Pray and tell God that you forgive them for not being able to love you. Ask God to take this from you - and He will. Then continue to deal with reality. Don't tell yourself; maybe someday... they'll change... True love accepts the person for who they are, even when they are evil and they don't love you. It means accepting reality. When you love and accept reality at the same time, you are forced to move on. When you deal with reality and move on without love, you take bitterness with you. When you love without dealing with reality, you hurt yourself. Love the other person, accept the reality and pray to God for the wisdom and strength you'll need to do that continuously until it ceases to become a problem. Try not to be in contact because it’s almost like an addiction. You think that one little text will do no harm but the pain when she doesn't reply will just make things worse. That would be my advice. There is one more thing I can recommend. There are times when you feel very weak and feel you need to talk to that other loving person even though they may just hurt you again, you don't know why you want to talk to them, and you just do it. I've been able to get by these weak moments by writing down exactly what I'm feeling at the time, it comes out in a jumble of feelings and thoughts, some not so pleasant, but in the end it actually helps and I don't feel to call the person anymore. For everyone out there, keep strong and keep your head up, there are better days ahead. Tough one. If we know for a fact there is no hope for a mutual love, then why torture ourselves. Move on. Treat it like a divorce. FORCE yourself to live and keep meeting people. You owe it to yourself to be available for when the right person does come along. Love is like a bus stop, there's always going to be another opportunity for the bus to stop again -- if we are ready for it at the bus stop. Sometimes we don't ever think we could possibly find someone better than that one we are in love with, that doesn't return the love back, but that's not true. We just won't be ready to find it if we are pining for a love that is not healthy or returned. We owe it to ourselves to always know we deserve what's best and healthy. Stop being around that person, if possible. If you can't, then think in your mind about how wonderful it would be to actually find someone special that returns your love. Tell yourself that you deserve it. We can't control love no matter how hard we try. It's just one of those things, but we can choose to love again. Work out, write your thoughts on paper and then shred it but sometimes it helps to get your thoughts out of you, in writing. It's like a release or venting. Then rip it into shreds and flush it or shred it so it can't be found to possibly humiliate you later. Staying busy can help a lot, but late at night, driving down the road, or at times when we can think are hard so blast some music, turn the TV up, read a book, watch a movie, take a night class, spend more time with friends, join an email group with those who share an interest... Whatever you do, do things to force your mind not to be hurting for that other person. Don't ask yourself why you were not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, sexy enough, etc. Don't beat yourself up over something that didn't work out. If you made mistakes and were responsible for killing it. Painful as it is, learn from those mistakes. Don't make them again. We all have had heartaches that hurt bad! A broken heart is never fun. As the famous lyrics of QUEEN say The Show Must Go on, meaning Life goes on. We have to as well. We owe it to ourselves to know we simply go on. We will meet another person but we shouldn't while we are hurting. We'll often end up not being as clear headed. We want someone to love us and to feel wanted, but that's a potential for another mess. Or, you could end up hurting someone the way you were hurt. When your heart is mended, you'll know. Every single day we get just a tiny bit better. Ok, maybe not every day, but if we can just make it from one day to the next and keep doing it, pretty soon we will feel better, if only a little, but that's a start to a total healing. Time. Letting your own grieve and actually being ok with that. Not forcing ourselves to get over someone. Allow your own to feel the hurt, cry, write about it, and listen to sad songs. Soon you will feel so tired from hurting all of the time. You will be ready to move forward. Doing this without contact of the person you love is best. Anyone that will still see you, sleep with you, and spend time with you, knowing they don't love you, and knowing how you feel, is selfish. Everyone deserves more than that. You can't force love out of your heart so don't try, that just hurts worse and you end up lying to yourself. You are human for loving, but you have to love yourself more. I do agree with comments on staying busy, friends and family also help. Casual dating can backfire however, because if the dates don't go well, it will just make you miss the person you love even more. Pray, and remember the good times but learn from the bad. Don't you want, one day, to be truly happy? Life is too short to give up the chance of true love for ourselves. Go out into the world and continue to be the wonderful person that you are. Someone will see this, and love you just as much as you are capable of loving. You accept yourself as you are, love yourself for who you are, forgive yourself for decisions and actions that have brought you pain, never settle for anything less then what you desire and deserve. Love is all about timing, make yourself the best person you can be both mentally and physically and do it for you, no one else. Once you do that, you will no longer waste your time on women who do not see you for who you are. You will see yourself as a beautiful woman that has so much to offer the right man. But to be able to get over lost love you have to be able to forgive yourself, whether it was your fault or not. You also must make a conscious effort to get her out of your life. Keeping her as a friend will bring only more pain, this is from experience. Let her go, delete her name off your cell phone off your email, put the pictures away. It is your choice to be miserable about the situation, which for the first few months everyone chooses to be sad. But you can also make the choice to be happy, but only YOU can do that. You have one life, why sit there and waste it on a person who can't see all facets of your beauty. Be happy, love yourself, forgive yourself and you will see that that love will radiate and women will be attracted to that. Good women will be attracted to your positive self worth. And that positive self worth gets rid of all the baggage from past relationships that ruin current ones. But this is a choice, a conscious choice to leave the past and be happy and only you can make it. Know one thing,  it won’t be easy, but in the end you will have the love you have always desired. All you can do is take it a day at a time and pray for strength. You have to decide that there is now another step to climb in your life. There will always be happiness around the corner, everyone finds it. Happiness WILL come and find you, keep smiling. Time is the key. When you love someone you must know when it is time to let go. As hard as this may sound, strength, courage and knowledge are gathered from a broken heart. Is there any one who can promise you that love can last forever, or that it wouldn't, or is it just a chance? Life is a chance. Pray, not only for you, but for that person as well. Never let bad feelings or experience change the person you are. No one wants a wounded bird, so understand that you need time to heal internally. There is no set time on when this will happen, but just let it take its course. When the time is right, and you feel like you are ready to love again, don't look for it, let it find you. Keep God first, and never question his work. We will never know what woman has in store, and who is to say that you two won't love again, when the time is right, or maybe you both have matured. Life is short, so enjoy and savor your breath. Your battle is not lost; you are just beginning to live. God will keep you strong. This is not an easy question, and the answer is complex. I have several substrate beliefs that will take me where I am going to go. First, how you feel or don't feel about another says much about you. How they respond, says something about them. Think about that deeply. You may or may not know all of your reasons for feeling the way you do about that person. I suspect you may not have the whole story about them. Consider yourself for a moment. Is the first person of this personality type you have loved or is this a pattern? If it is a pattern, are you getting yourself involved with unavailable individuals? If so, you may need to look deeply at your motivation in choosing that type of person and why you are attracted to them. Now, let’s look at them. That person may not trust you again. If you have not done anything of that sort, and you are blaming your self for something minor like "saying was instead of were." Then, you need to access if that person has some deeper issue that may not have anything to do with you directly. If they have issues, it is best to let them have the space to address them. It may take years. There is a song which has the lyric, "I can't make you love me, if you don't. You can't make your heart feel something it won't." You can give of yourself and offer your love and support. If that person does not, can not, or will not love you back, then there is nothing you can do about it. That is their choice. And you really do not want them unless they truly loved you in return, right? Now, do not think ill of that person. The care that person has for you may be all they have to give and they are just being honest. Now back to you. I am of the belief that "Love Never Fails." I believe that once you love someone it does not die. But I believe that love is about giving and not getting. You must give them their request. That is in many ways a great gift of love, a gift of respect. You will have to go on. Time will heal you wounds. Allow yourself to sorrow and feel the pain now for the time of grief will pass. You will learn to live with the loss. You will always love that person, but that does not mean you will not love again! You have no choice but to get over this person. You must let them go and you have to move on. What you need to realize is that you can and will love some one again and they will love you in return. Life is a risk and it has to be that way otherwise there would be no adventure to it. Also to know love, you also need to know pain. The passage of time will help to heal your wounds, but it won’t completely erase them. Your life is a journey that will be difficult at times, but stay on the path because you never know what is just around the corner. Remember that you control your own mind and it's your own choice if you want to keep thinking about the past or look to the future. Don’t worry about making mistakes; it’s the only way you can learn. Also true love involves a lot of hard work, nobody is perfect. I wish you good luck and lots of love, peace and happiness. The answer is that there is no remedy or procedure to get over someone completely. It is not as simple as performing a few tasks or reading a certain book. From my experience only time will assist you in getting over a love in your life. Now the trick is this person must me completely out of your life to completely get over him or her. If this person remains in your life then time will never start the healing process. It took me exactly one year to get over someone I loved very much. It can be done, and in life this process can happen more than once, so learn from the mistakes you make in one relationship and apply them to the next. Surround yourself in mates, journals, journals and journals and something really important; at least for a while, ALLOW yourself to be depressed, its inevitable your going to be! So fighting it just gets you mad and frustrated. Music helps A LOT. The main advice I can give, which isn't much at this stage, is FOCUS. That’s what you need. What’s a life without a dream to hold on?  From what I have learned from the most recent experience is that all you can do is learn how to live without them. That doesn’t mean to forget them. If you truly love them you would want them to be happy even if it was not with you. "You never stop loving someone; you just learn to live without them." Free your mind from worries. Live simple. Give more. Expect less.                                                                                                        (Author: Armin Bushati)

Determining Baby Gender

Determining Baby Gender Ultrasound is the Best Way to Find Out
There are a lot of different ways out there for determining baby gender. Most of the time when determining baby gender ultrasound is the best and most accurate way to go. Most expectant parents are very anxious and excited about finding out the sex of their baby. Whether it is a girl or a boy really says a lot when it comes to planning for the arrival of your new addition to your family.

You will see that while there are a lot of different ways to try to predict whether you are having a boy or a girl, the ultrasound that you get is going to be the most effective and most accurate. You cannot really bank on any of the other method.

You can also not depend entirely on the ultrasound- as they can be incorrect and hard to read sometimes. Take your time and make sure that you get someone who is going to know what they are doing and what they are reading when it comes to determining the sex of your baby via ultrasound.

Old wives tales have been around for ages. These old wives tales can sometimes seem to be very absurd. You may have heard many of them but not really put them to the test during your pregnancy. While they can be fun, it is usually not very accurate in determining the sex, or gender, of your unborn baby. Let’s take a look at a few of these- just for fun!

First of all, it is thought that you can take a look at the various different symptoms that you are having early in your pregnancy to determine if you will have a boy or a girl. This has a lot to do with the cravings that you have or if you are getting sick a lot. Sometimes it is thought that your appearance can even be a determining factor on if you are having a boy or a girl. For instance, acne break outs can be said to give hints to the sex of the baby.

As you can see, none of these are really fool proof. You should really consider getting a determining baby gender ultrasound done about mid way through your pregnancy. This is about the time when the technician is able to get the most clear picture and be better able to determine the sex for you. You will also have to make sure that your baby is positioned properly. This can sometimes be a headache if you have to return again and again for them to find the baby in the right position.

Determining baby gender ultrasound is probably the most popular ultrasound that you will get because it is something that is considered huge news. If you want to know the gender of your unborn baby, then you really need to consider this to be an option for you. It really is the most accurate way to tell the sex of the baby before he or she is born.

Days Of Ovulation

Conceiving During Ovulation: Does This Give You A Boy Or A Girl?
Yesterday, Ireceived a question in which the writer asked: "if I'm trying to get pregnant, should I conceive when I am ovulating? Is this the best way to go about this that will give me the best chance of getting pregnant?" I will answer this question in the following article.

Why Conceiving On Or Around Your Ovulation Day Is Considered The Gold Standard In Getting Pregnant Quickly And Easily: Most people will go this route because it just seems to be the most optimal timing. In order to get pregnant, you need for the sperm to successfully fertilize the egg. But, you also need to understand that both players in this game have a limited life span. They don't live forever and before they begin to die off, they weaken. And when they weaken, your chances for becoming pregnant decreases.

To be more specific about it, it's said that the egg is viable for about 12 24 hours until it begins to deteriorate. In contrast, the sperm is said to be viable for as long as 72 hours, although it's also said that this varies according to the person and according the external factors like the environment that the sperm find themselves in.

You only ovulate once per month. As you can see, it's best to try to conceive during the time when both sperm and egg are the most viable at the same time. You can easily control when you introduce the sperm into the equation (by controlling when you have intercourse), but controlling when the egg is released is reallymuchmore difficult if not impossible without medical intervention.

So, let's focus on what we can control, which is when to have intercourse. It's said that you probably have at best 72 hours to have intercourse where you are fertile, but that your peak fertility day only occurs on one day. That's why people use ovulation predictors they want to be able to have intercourse on the exact day that the egg has been released.

Understand That This Method Is For People Who Don't Have A Preference As To BabyGender: The above method (having intercourse when ovulation occurs) is typically used by folks who only care about getting pregnant. This method is slightly more likely to get you a boy baby. The reason for this is that the boy producing sperm (Y) are the by far the shortest lived. So, more of these are going to be around on the day of ovulation. Any time period before this is often too far out (or too early)for them. However, timing alone is not all that is needed to have the best chance of success. You should also think about your PH and acidity (you want it low for a son) and the sexual positions that will work best for this.

But, if you want a girl, this timing is not the best that you can do. You could have intercourse a few days earlier to ensure that most of the Y's have gone before the egg makes it's entrance. Saliva ovulation predictors are often very accurate forthis purpose, as it becoming as acidic as you possibly can. These two thingsgive the Y's that much more of an uphill battle.

I've put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of choosing your baby's gender when getting pregnant. You'll find step by step instructions, resources for douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of conception 5 days before ovulation?
    According to the first day of my last period June 4th, I am suppose to ovulate June 17th. This is if it is the typical 14 day ovulation day for most women. I was just wondering though if the chances of conceiving 5 days before that day were high.

    • ANSWER:
      sperm can live outside the body (in your uterus to be more precise) for 24-48 hours after it is released. so technically you can get pregnant before your actual ovulation day. especially because the day you ovulate may vary! I would say that the chances are there!

  2. QUESTION:
    Are your fertile days/ovulation from 11-14 days after the first day of your period?
    I have heard that the ovulation days are from 11-14 from the first day that your period starts. For example, I got my period yesterday(March 16) would that means that my fertile days would be from March 26-29??. I need to be really exact cause I´m not having any sex. I´m planning on getting an artificial insemination(home insemination) so timing is everything! Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation days are calculated based on the luteal (post-ovulation) phase, not the start of your cycle. The average ovulation time is 12-16 days BEFORE your next period. So, if you have a 24 day cycle, likely ovulation days are 8-12; if you typically have a 32 day cycle ovulation will likely be days 16-20. Ovulating 10-14 days would be based on a 26 day cycle.

      In your case, take your average cycle length and subtract 12 and 16 from it to get your most likely days. Keep in mind this is only a mathematical estimate. Make sure to also pay attention to cervical mucus and track through ovulation predictor tests for the most accurate timing.

      Good luck and lots of baby dust!!!

  3. QUESTION:
    why cant i use an ovulation test after 30 days?
    the test said to use the test(s) in 30 days why do i have to do that? what will happen if i use it after 30 days?

    i bought a 20 day ovulation kit and only used about 5 out of that untill i ovulated but i started my period and took a test and im not preg so why cant i use the same ovulation test(s) as before to determine ovulation?

    • ANSWER:

  4. QUESTION:
    Spotting for 6 days, ovulation or period bleeding?
    I had spottings for 6 days and im confused whether it is the begining of my period or spottings for ovulation

    I have super irregular periods and i really need some help.
    The spottings were dark brown at first, had a stop on the 3rd day [ totally no spotting] then continued on the 4th, after which was kind of light then became darker brown.

    Its been about 2 months since my last period.
    Somebody please help!
    It is impossible for me to have any pregnancy bleeding as i only had sex on day 1 of my period... right?
    and before sex, my period just started.

    • ANSWER:
      It's probably time to get checked by the doctor. Could you be pregnant? Some women have brown spotting for the first few months (myself included). Either way, two months between periods isn't normal.

  5. QUESTION:
    What is the difference between ovulation days and fertile days?
    I know this may sound dumb but what is the difference between your ovulation days and your fertile days. When I plug all my info into a fertility calendar it tells me my fertile days and my ovulation day. Should egg to be released from ovary to get pregnant? if so then how come chances of getting pregnnat a few days before yor ovulation is high as well? If not then how sperm gets into ovary? Im kinda confused.

    • ANSWER:
      You release an egg on one day (your ovulation day). However, sperm can live inside of you for up to 72 hours. If you have sex a day or two before you ovulate there can still be live sperm to fertilise the egg when it is released. It takes a couple of days for the egg to make it's way out of your body so you can still get pregnant those few days after your ovulation day. So from the 2-3 days before and after ovulation you can get pregnant.

      Hope that makes sense.

  6. QUESTION:
    What's the difference between Fertile days and Ovulation days?
    Like should you not have sex on fertile days or ovulation days ... or both?

    Which do you have a higher chance of getting pregnant on the fertile days or ovulation days?

    I have an app on my phone, and it tells me about when my periods are coming, ovulation days, and fertile days. But I don't really know the difference. hah. Thanks <3

    • ANSWER:
      Every month there is about a week of time where women are fertile. Usually 10-14 weeks after the first day of the last period. However, there is only one day that the egg is released, usually on day 14. Though there are still fertile days where you may see an increase in stretchy cervical mucus- and it means youre fertile because sperm can live up to 5 days or so. So even if the egg is released just one day, if there are sperm waiting it can meet up with the egg...

      You have a higher chance of pregnancy on the fertile days because it takes time for the sperm to swim to meet the egg. Having sex on your EXACT ovulation day often doesnt lead to pregnancy because the egg would die long before the sperm make it....
      They say the best time to become pregnant is 2 days before ovulation (when the egg is actually released) because it takes time for the sperm to swim to meet the egg. Either way to avoid pregnancy it is best to have sex on none of the fertile days because theres always a chance you can ovulate early or late or the sperm can live longer along with the egg making you fertile that whole week. When the cervical mucus lessens, usually ovulation is slim.

  7. QUESTION:
    What is the chance of conceiving during ovulation and very fertile days?
    My husband and I have decided to get pregnant again. We have 2 yr old daughter, and are wanting another child. My question is what are the chances of actually conceiving on peak ovulation days and on high fertile days?

    • ANSWER:
      I am in your exact situation..currently 6dpo and waiting...
      Personally, i find it very discouraging to read that under PERFECT circumstances you only have a 25-30% chance of concieveing. Unfortuanly, this seems to be true, but how can it make sense with the millions of teenagers who are getting pregnant only having unprotected sex a few times! And then here we are..taking our temp's, invadeing our va-jay-jay's trying to decipher cervical mucous...its sad, but true. I wish you the best of luck and hope you are in that 25-30 %

      (thats just my little rant for the day...sorry!)

  8. QUESTION:
    If my ovulation is over a period of 8 days and i have sex periodicaly during the 8 days can i concieve?
    The ovulation calender is giving me mixed days of when my ovulation day is suppose to occur. Some calenders say the 9th of December through the 15th of December. So if i have sex on the 9th, 11th, 12th, and the 14th can i concieve?

    • ANSWER:
      Try to use this ovulation calendar tool. http://www.softorbits.com/awc/ to trace your cycle and find the date of ovulation.

  9. QUESTION:
    Can a woman only get pregnant during ovulation days?
    Can a woman ONLY get pregnant during her ovulation days? I did an ovulation calendar for myself because I am ttc. It will be the 1st time I get pregnant but I would like to know if I could only get pregnant during those 5 ovulation days? Because its kind of funny, what happens to the other 25 or so days of the month? Cant make babies on those other days? It’s kind of frustrating having only 5 days out of the month.

    • ANSWER:
      yes you can get pregnant at anytime during your cycle....its just not as easy after your ovulation finishes because the egg has died out and your body is getting ready to be rid of the remains (hence your period). but before ovulation may be slightly easier because that is when the egg is newly forming, or has almost matured, its just depending on how many days before the ovulation that a woman has had intercourse since sperm can live up 7 days inside a woman....and ovulation may occur during anytime and occasionally more than once.

  10. QUESTION:
    Try to conceive on my ovulation day or the two days before?
    Ok I am a bit confused. Do you try the day of ovulation to get pregant since this is when you are most fertile, or do you try the two days beforehand? I know some of you will say why not try all three days, but when is the best time to do the deed? Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Two days before and day of. So that the sperm is waiting when the egg is released. If you start 5 days before and have sex everyday it takes a full 24 hours for a man to regenerate a higher count of sperm. So i recommend two days before and day of.

  11. QUESTION:
    Can you help me figure out my ovulation days with my strange cycle?
    I thought I had the regular 28 day cycle. The past two cycles were 28 days, but my most recent one was 30 days. So do I still count ovulation days by the usual 28 days? There has been a lot going on in life right now, maybe it was a couple days longer because of stress?

    • ANSWER:
      do u know when you ovulate? if not you'll need to figure out when you ovulate but not every women ovulates @ the normal 2 wks after the start of their cycle and even w/a regular cycle women can ovulate @ diff times every month. if you start to feeling very wet (watery/eggwhite CM) you're in your most fertile window so have sex! if you're having more and more creamy Cm then start having sex every other day. sperm stays in your cervix up to 6 days max in ideal conditions. i use fertilityfriend.com. it tracks BBT, cm, ur cervix and everything in between. it'll take 2 cycles to figure it out but at least it won't be a guessing game. it's a great tool! don't have sex every day as that lowers sperm count - every other day is good :)

  12. QUESTION:
    Trying to conceive we had sex on my ovulation day June 14th now I have a bleeding 5 days before my period help?
    We wanted a baby girl we had sex on my ovulation date and I've already taken two tests both came up negative. My cycle is normal every 28 days I have the normal routine it last for 4-5 days and now five days before my period I'm experiencing a bleeding brown and a pinkish color, a little bit of a flow. I had cramping for a couple hours and it went away. Could I be pregnant please help me out.

    • ANSWER:
      You might be.... I am sending baby dust your way:)

  13. QUESTION:
    I had unprotected sex on my ovulation days and I have some symptoms could i be pregnant?
    I had sex on all of my possible ovulation days. Now this month I am a couple days late and my nipples are very tender and I am very bloated. Last month I had a slightly different period. It was long and light. Could i possibly be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      There's always a possiblity when you have unprotected sex. You know that. Only you can answer this question for yourself.

  14. QUESTION:
    Could I be pregnant if i had sex around my ovulation days?
    I'm new at this. My husband and i have been trying to have a baby for a while. I had sex on the 14th, 16th, 18th and the 22nd. My ovulation day was either the 20th or 21st. I did not have sex on either one of those days so could i still be pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, most definitely! A mans sperm can survive inside a woman for up to 72 hours. And your egg has a 24 hour window to get fertilized...which means you would have had sperm present at the time of ovulation and could definitely be pregnant.

      I would go get a test in about 7-10 days!

  15. QUESTION:
    Is cramping a few days after ovulation mean pregnancy is taking place?
    I had sex on all of the days i was ovulating and my period is not due until this friday but i took a test yesterday and it was negative. Do you think it's still a possibility of me still being pregnant and me just taking the test 6 days early. I know some test can pick up the hormone 6 days early. How likely is pregnancy to occur when having sex on all of my ovulation days? My cycle is every 28 days.

    • ANSWER:
      I think you probably took it too early--even the early detecting tests are like less than 40% accurate for detecting it early.
      Just wait til you are late.. As for the cramping I'm not sure but maybe..good luck!

  16. QUESTION:
    Can i get pregnat during my not fertile or ovulation days?
    I had sex with my boyfriend, only for a couple of minutes, he didn't cum, he was with a headache. I wasn't in my fertile or ovulation days. What are the chances of me getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Its possible. Sperm can live up to 5 days, and just because he didn't "Ejaculate" doesn't mean anything. Sperm is also found in pre ejacutlation.

  17. QUESTION:
    How do I calcualte my ovulation days with a kit???
    I have just brought an ovulation kit and am abit confused with it.
    If I base my period length of 28 days, it tells me to test on day 11??
    That does not leave a very big gap betwen the period to ovualtion which means I have missed it.
    I thought that it is usually on day 14/15 that you ovulate?
    Help please, I am very confused!!!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      If you have a normal 28 day cycle, then chances are pretty good that you ovulate around day 14 of your cycle.

      Some kits will alert to ovulation anywhere from 24 to 72 hours after seeing the positive. You usually have to test for a couple of months to see the truth in it.

      I suggest you also chart your fertility signs in conjunction with using the kits - to help you confirm ovulation. Below is an article about the kits.

  18. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant on your firtle days and not ur exact ovulation days?
    i looked up my fertile days and it was the 4-9th days of the month but the 7th is my ovulation day can i still get prego on my first fertile day?

    I had sex on my ovulation day as well as my fertile days. What are the chances that I am pregnant?
    my period is due the 15th of June and my fretile and ovulation days were 5/27/08-6/01/08. I believe I had sex on all of those days except for maybe the first two days.

    • ANSWER:
      uhhhmmm well...
      chances would be better than usual.. I guess... but with pregnancy either you are or you are not with child... you can't be 'sorta' pregnant.... if you are late then get a test. And get a good one, not a dollar store one.

  26. QUESTION:
    What are my chances of being pregnant if i had sex on my 12th & 13th ovulation days?
    me and my boyfriend are trying to conceive.
    everyone says around the 14th day of your ovulation is the best time to get pregnant.
    but i had to work tonight and i won't be around him, and tomorrow is my 14th day.
    we had sex 7 times during my 12th and 13th ovulation days.
    what exactly are my chances of being pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      They are pretty good, it would most likely be a girl.

      But, you two are having sex too much. You need to space it out to give your man time to get his sperm count up. It actually takes more then one, you need a high sperm count.

      If you try again next month skip sex the day before you try and conceive and then keep it to once to keep the sperm to semen ratio high.

  27. QUESTION:
    I had sex on my ovulation date. Now, two days later I feel sluggish and bloated. Could I be preggers?
    I had unprotected sex with my husband on Sunday. Two days later, I feel really sluggish. Extremely moist down there, and mild cramping. It wasn't until today, that I realized Sunday was my ovulation day. Could I be having early signs of pregnancy?

    • ANSWER:
      It is far too soon to be experiencing any sort of pregnancy symptoms. It's also far too soon for you to actually be pregnant.

      After *successful* fertilisation it takes 5-12 days for the fertilised egg to actually implant into the uterus and for you to actually *be* pregnant. What you are experiencing are the typical PMS symptoms. A lot of women start noticing these symptoms when they are trying to get pregnant or are afraid they might be. They start paying more attention to their bodies, and simply never noticed things that had always been happening before.

      Wait the two and a half weeks after ovulation for implantation, hCG levels to rise, the second day after your period was supposed to begin, and take an HPT. Whatever result that comes back with, especially if it's a positive, take a back up HPT.

  28. QUESTION:
    Am I supposed my ovulation days from the last day of my period or when my period starts?
    I'm on a website to calculate ovulation. It asked for my last period. My last period began on the 6th and ended on the 10th. Do I count it from the 6th or 10th?
    Oops, I meant to put "to count" in the title of my question.

    • ANSWER:
      The day your period starts is day 1 of your cycle. Start counting from there. Your most fertile days are from 5 days before to 1 day after ovulation.

  29. QUESTION:
    How many days after ovulation does one start their period?
    Last month I used the ovulation kit to see my ovulation date. I started my period 14 days after ovulation. This month again i used the ovulation kit. I ovulated exactly 20-21 days after the start of my period (which was same as last month). Now it is however 18 days after my ovulation date and I have not started my period. I get abdominal pain and i feel like I will start my period any moment. I do not want to get too hopeful about being pegnant. But can anyone tell me what would be the duration after ovulation to start my period. Does it remain constant month to month? Other symptoms I have are only tenderness in my breats and i feel a bit bloated.

    • ANSWER:
      Normally, the hormones that cause you to ovulate also cause you to start bleeding 14 days after ovulation. take a pregnancy test. You can test as early as 14 days after ovulation. sounds like you may have gotten lucky!

  30. QUESTION:
    23 days of high temps after ovulation, 7 days late, am i prego?
    I have had 23 days of high temps since my ovulation day and am 7 days late. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests.the first at day 1 of my missed period and the 2nd at day 6 of my missed period but they both came up negative. I usually have a regular cycle so this is strange for me. I have also been experiencing nausea, tiredness, dizziness, hip aches and lower back ache.

    • ANSWER:
      It really sounds like it! keep testing, and (this may sound dumb), but even if you see a very faint line in the "positive" window, you are pregnant! I misread the first tests I took with both of my pregnancies lol!

  31. QUESTION:
    Besides calculating your ovulation days, how can you really that you are ovulating?
    I know our bodies release fluid on a regular basis but is there any way of telling naturally (without using ovulation sticks and/or thermometers)?

    • ANSWER:
      Charting is the best way I have found. Cervical fluid is a very reliable indicator of fertility. Temperature is fairly reliable. There's also cervical position and saliva ferning tests.

      I recommend checking out ovusoft.com or fertilityfriend.com for good info on fertility signs. The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility and Garden of Fertility helped me immensely.

  32. QUESTION:
    How many days after ovulation do you get your period?
    What part of the cycle decides how long it your whole cycle will be? I know all cycles are different for different women but where does the variance occur? Is it the days from your last period to ovulation or the days from ovulation to your next period? If I use an ovulation predictor kit and it says I ovulate today will conception happen in one week and implantation one week from conception and my missed period be one week from implantation? Or can ovulation, conception and implantation be further apart than one week?

    Let me know if I'm not being clear enough in my question.

    • ANSWER:
      Typically you ovulate miway through your cycle. During a 28 day cycle you should ovulate on day 14. This can vary and be a little early or later. The key concept according to my OB/GYN is that the luteal phase is 14 days long (see below for further information). He recommends having sex between CD8 and 18 every other day if you are trying to get pregnant (CD= cycle day, counting CD1 as the first day you start your period).

      Here is some better information that I hope answers your questions:

      A woman's monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman's cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period (LMP) starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the "fertile time" of a woman's cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month.

      The Ovulation Cycle Divided into Two Parts:
      The first part of the ovulation cycle is called the follicular phase. This phase starts the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) and continues until ovulation. This first half of the cycle can differ greatly for each woman lasting anywhere from 7 days until 40 days. The second half of the cycle is called the luteal phase and is from the day of ovulation until the next period begins. The luteal phase has a more precise timeline and usually is only 12-16 days from the day of ovulation. This ultimately means that the day of ovulation will determine how long your cycle is. This also means that outside factors like stress, illness, and disruption of normal routine can throw off your ovulation which then results in changing the time your period will come. So the old thought that stress can affect your period is only partly true. Stress can affect your ovulation which ultimately determines when your period will come, but stress around the time of an expected period will not make it late—it was already determined when it would come 12-16 days earlier!

      From the Menstrual Period to Ovulation (the details you may not know!)
      When your menstrual cycle begins, your estrogen levels are low. Your hypothalamus (which is in charge of maintaining your hormone levels) sends out a message to your pituitary gland which then sends out the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This FSH triggers a few of your follicles to develop into mature eggs. One of these will develop into the dominant follicle, which will release a mature egg and the others will disintegrate. As the follicles mature they send out another hormone, estrogen. The high levels of estrogen will tell the hypothalamus and pituitary gland that there is a mature egg.

      A luteinizing hormone (LH) is then released, referred to as your LH surge. The LH surge causes the egg to burst through the ovary wall within 24-36 hours and begin its journey down the fallopian tube for fertilization. The follicle from which the egg was released is called the corpus luteum, and it will release progesterone that helps thicken and prepare the uterine lining for implantation. The corpus luteum will produce progesterone for about 12-16 days (the luteal phase of your cycle.) If an egg is fertilized, the corpus luteum will continue to produce progesterone for a developing pregnancy until the placenta takes over. You can begin looking for pregnancy symptoms as early as a week after fertilization. If fertilization does not occur the egg dissolves after 24 hours.

      At this time your hormone levels will decrease and your uterine lining will begin to shed about 12-16 days from ovulation. This is menstruation (menstrual period) and brings us back to day 1 of your cycle. The journey then begins all over again.

  33. QUESTION:
    Do I have to have sex on ovulation day and all of my other fertility days to get pregnant?
    So I only had sex on my ovulation day... Does that mean I could still be pregnant? I have a normal 28day cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey! I was the same i was totally confused about the whole ovulation timing!!! You are fertile for so many days and then you have a couple of days where you are very very fertile so my suggestion is to have sex at least once every day you are fertile to up your chances of conceiving!!!! That is just my opinion as i am in the same boat as you ttc and had sex at least once through my whole fertile time and now its two weeks since my ovulation and i am going to get a test today to find out as my tummy is really swollen (could be bloating)....

      Hope this helps a bit! Good Luck!! :o )

  34. QUESTION:
    How many days past ovulation can you start to feel symptoms?
    I am 4-5 days dpo and I was just wondering when I should start having symptoms of being pregnant? We have bd every other day from the last day of my period, and every day during ovulation. I'm hoping this did the trick. :)

    • ANSWER:
      It varies really, some women feel symptoms within two or three weeks, others don't for months.

  35. QUESTION:
    What is the possiblity and percentage that a women will concieve during fertile days or on ovulation day?
    My husband and I had sex several times this weekend and I found out that those were my fertile days and ovulation was suppose to take place on Monday but of course my last period went off two days early which may have altered ovulation day so it could have been actually one of those days. I wanted to know how high of a possibility it is that I could have concieved. I know that sex at ovulation doesn't always guarantee a pregnancy for some women. My period is due to come on around july 24 so if I did concieve would i miss this period or august.

    • ANSWER:
      If you're under 30, and you're not on birth control, then there is a one in four chance of conceiving any given month, as long as there aren't any other factors involved. However, most people don't realize that personal lubricants (like K-Y jelly and AstroGlide) are too acidic for sperm to survive in, so they act as an inherent contraceptive/spermicide, and they almost can prevent pregnancy on their own, especially if a man has a lower than normal sperm count. :) Good luck!

  36. QUESTION:
    How many days after ovulation should i expect my period?
    I have read today that your ovulation period can change but the number of days between when you ovulate to when your period is due remains the same.

    • ANSWER:
      not at all pregnancy only occurs when one is fertile.Cervical mucus changes are monitored for determining when ovulation occurs through the cervical mucus monitoring test. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture. The changes in the mucus that is secreted from the cervix reflect where you are in your cycle. The consistency of your cervical mucus changes during the cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites.

      Before collecting a sample, be sure to wash your hands first in order to prevent the transmission of germs.

      The most common ways of collecting a cervical mucus sample are:

      Inserting your finger into your vagina and collecting some mucus.
      Using toilet paper and wiping the entrance of your vagina and analyzing the mucus collected that way.
      The most accurate way to collect your cervical mucus is to insert your finger into your vagina and circle your finger around your cervix or as close as you can to the cervix. This will allow you to actually collect the cervical mucus instead of just it’s wetness.
      Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.

      Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
      The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low.

      Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):
      The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume.

      Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):
      At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your ‘mucus peak’. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm’s survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.

      After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):
      After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva.

      One caution for this test is that sperm can be confused with the mucus secretions and you could make wrong assumptions. Also, vaginal infections, medication, and birth control can alter conditions and should be taken into consideration when examining any vaginal secretions.

      There are several cases where you may not be able to collect an adequate sample of cervical mucus. Medications, being over 35, & not ovulating can have a dramatic effect on your body’s ability to produce the fertile cervical mucus.

      If you are not able to determine your time of ovulation, you may have to use another ovulation prediction method, such as basal body temperature ( BBT ) charting or using ovulation tests.

      Cervical mucus plays an important role in enabling you to get pregnant. The most important role that it plays is that it facilitates conception by allowing fertilization to occur at a time distant from ovulation. The role of the cervical mucus is to nourish, protect, and speed the sperm on its way up through the uterus and into the Fallopian tubes so that it can fertilize the egg and help you in getting pregnant.

      A woman’s cervical mucus is different throughout her menstrual cycle and these changes in cervical mucus reflect her stage in the cycle. After menstruation, as your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture. The greater volume and changes in texture reflect your body’s rising levels of estrogen. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. At this stage the cervical mucus can be compared to raw egg whites.

      Cervical Mucus – Healthy Reservoir for Sperm

      The vaginal environment is biologically a very hostile place for the sperm. The acidity in the vagina rapidly immobilizes sperm and makes them dysfunctional. The first level of protection that the sperm gets is by the man’s coagulum. After ejaculation, sperm are protected by the coagulum formed from a man’s semen. But this is a very short period of time. During this time, sperm, wrapped in coagulum, are transferred to the cervical mucus which protects the sperm from the acidity of the vagina. Sperm that fails to enter the cervical mucus in this short period of time become non functional. Although, women often worry about semen falling out of their vagina after intercourse, all useful sperm is usually taken up in the cervical mucus within this short span of time after intercourse.

      In the middle of your cycle, your cervical mucus provides a healthy reservoir for sperm. Sperm, unlike ova, can survive for a number of days within crypts of your cervix.

      During most of the cycle the cervical mucus is like a thick plug for your uterus that prevents sperm from entering it. However, due to hormonal changes in your body during your menstrual cycle preceding the time of ovulation, the cervical mucus increases in volume and becomes thinner and more stretchy than usual. At this time, it allows free entry of sperm into the uterus and assists pregnancy.

      Cervical Mucus – Mobilizing Medium for Sperm

      When ovulation occurs, a single, mature egg or ovum is released into the uterus from a follicle. This egg is fertilizable for only about 12 hours after which it will begin to disintegrate, if not fertilized. During ovulation the cervical mucus becomes thinnest, clearest and most abundant and comes to your aid. Sperm that have colonized in your cervical mucus through prior intercourse are now free in the thinner mucus to leave the cervix at any time and travel up into the uterus and through the tubes to find an egg. For most women cervical mucus functions in this way for at least two days prior to ovulation. In some women cervical mucus enables fertilization to occur up to a week before ovulation and pregnancy to still be able to take place.

      Cervical Mucus – Barrier to Abnormal Sperm

      The cervical mucus also acts as a barrier to abnormal sperm. An abnormally shaped sperm is much less likely to to be able to travel to the egg as quickly and easily as normal shaped sperm and actually can get slowed down in the cervical mucus. This natural selection process that takes place in the cervical mucus is effective in facilitating pregnancy in women.

  40. QUESTION:
    what are my chances of getting pregnant if i had sex the 7 days around my ovulation?
    I am 18 and my boyfriend and I are trying to conceive. We have tracked my ovulation days/cycle and had sex three days before and after my "ovulation day".

    what are the chances of me getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      There is a chance you could be pregnant because sperm can live up to 4 days (depending on your pH). 3 days after ovulation is difficult to get pregnant because its not in your fertile period. Good luck and sticky baby dust!

  41. QUESTION:
    How many days past ovulation should you expect to start getting a lot of cervical mucus again?
    How many days past ovulation should you expect to start getting a lot of cervical mucus again?
    like creamy or any?
    I know you dry up after ovulation but when should it get moist again?

    • ANSWER:
      up to a week says julia
      in a few days says ronny

      i guess it depends

  42. QUESTION:
    How many days after ovulation do i have to wait before i can take a pregnancy test?
    how many days after ovulation do i need to wait before taking a pregnancy test?

    I have irregular periods, so when my period was due on the 14 of august it didn't come and a few days later i had a positive opt.

    we are ttc.
    after the postive opt, i was getting faint positives from 12 hours afterwards. and they r getting fainter.
    faint positive opts.

    • ANSWER:
      after ovulation, you want to wait 2 weeks. I'd go 16 days to be sure as luteal phases can be from 10-16 days. dont lose heart if not though, with my first nothing showed up positive till 7weeks!

  43. QUESTION:
    Unprotected on two days that were fertile and ovulation day, could I be pregnant or sick with something else?
    My husband and I had sex on two of the days that were my fertile days and my ovulation day. Yes. I was unprotected. Now, I feel so sick. I feel run down and nausea. It seems a bit early for symptoms because I am not due to come on until the 27th. I really don't recall anything from my pregnancy with our son, so I am at a loss. Could I be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Sounds like you could be having another bundle of joy! I have 3 daughters and am 36 weeks with my 4th, a boy! With my 3 girls I felt the symptoms of pregnancy within the first 2-3 weeks, but with this baby I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 6 1/2 weeks! Every pregnancy is different, I would suggest taking a otc test, if it comes back neg, and you are really stressing about it, call your doctor and ask if they will run a blood pregnancy test on you which is A LOT more sensitive to the hormone hcg that is the hormone released into your blood and urine by a growing pregnancy ( it is detected by urine tests, but takes longer to show a positive in a urine test). I wish you the best of luck, don't stress to much!

  44. QUESTION:
    How many days after ovulation do you start your period?
    Okay here is my story..........I had my period on the 4th of Feb. For my normal 4 days. I had a normal period. On the 17th-19th I had a discharge of a pink mucus discharge only when I wiped on and off for the few days. Nothing major to use a pantyliner for or anything. Just when I wiped it was there. Not bloody like a period just pink mucus so I was assuming it ovulation. Now it is March 8th with no period as of yet. My cycle is not regular as of yet since I was on Depo for a few years. I started ovulating back in November after being off it. But now I am having symptoms like my AF is going to start but nothing yet. So my question is how many days after ovulation do you start having your AF. I think it was to early for implantation bleeding but I'm not sure. Please help?????

    • ANSWER:
      You typically start your period 14 days after ovulation but it is hard to know that exact date unless you know exactly when you ovulated. Based on the pink mucus discharge it would seem you ovulated around the 18th which would be right on time if you have a 28 day cycle. You should have started your period approximately 14 days after the 18th or 19th.

      The way your cycle works is like this:
      Take your number of days in your cycle (28 etc)
      Subtract 14 days - That should be your peak day to ovulate unless you are stressed etc.

      So if you have a regular cycle you should be able to figure out within a day or so which day you will ovulate and which day you will start your period.

      Just as a heads up, both times I was pregnant I felt like I was going to get my period. I had the same exact symptoms. I would take a pregnancy test to be sure.

      Hope that helps!

  45. QUESTION:
    After 3 days of high temperature and a "confirmed" ovulation day, my temp dropped. Did I ovulate?
    Does this mean that I did not ovulate or is it common for temperatures to drop? Yesterday, my temp dropped after 3 days of fairly high temperatures. But today, it is back high again.

    • ANSWER:
      Most likely you have. A single drop could be caused by a drop of progesterone, a rise in estrogen, or sometimes (it's thought) by implantation. At 4DPO, it would be a tad earlier than most implants, but still possible...however, just because you have a dip doesn't mean you are definitely PG! There are other causes for dips, such as the others I mentioned. Good luck

Days To Get Pregnant

The Best Days to Get Pregnant
There are couples who wish to have a child but just cannot appear to conceive. They might try for months or even years and uncover no success. In most cases they turn to kits, manuals, schedules and a litany of tests hoping to get diverse outcomes. It hardly seems fair when you contemplate that you can find other couples who just stop utilizing their contraceptives and immediately get the good news that a baby is on the way. Here are some actions to take to aid you if you are trying to get pregnant.

A easy take a look at biology is a excellent location to start. The period of ovulation is the very best time to get pregnant. This is when the cells within the ovary break apart and release an egg. An egg is also known as an ovum. The ovum travels by way of the fallopian tube down to the uterus. Now the sperm cell comes into play. If a sperm cell reaches the egg, the egg will grow to be fertilized and ultimately embed inside the uterine wall.

A woman who wishes to turn out to be pregnant can commence by attempting to figure out when ovulation is occurring. This is the time when pregnancy chances are the best. There are various signals you'll be able to get from your body telling you that ovulation is going on.

Cervical fluid or mucus is one such indicator. Estrogen levels will rise throughout the cycle and trigger the appearance of this fluid. A slippery fluid that resembles egg white probably means you might be ovulating. The slipperiness is to make it easier for sperm cells to travel along the fallopian tubes and do the fertilizing. As this mucus becomes far more apparent and its color gets clearer, chances of pregnancy increase.

You might also look at a kit to establish ovulation. The objective would be to measure the level of luteinizing hormone, or LH, inside your system. LH is what tells the body to release the egg. It may be detected within the urine. It really is noteworthy that these kits give about 24 hour notice that LH levels are growing.

Another great gauge is your basal body temperature. It is not uncommon for a woman to have an increase of about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Basal body temperature is the lowest body temperature even though at rest. Basal thermometers ought to be employed initial thing in the morning after waking up. Most doctors agree that the most effective time for pregnancy is 2-3 days leading up to the high point of this temperature. Naturally it's too late after the fact, but you'll be able to chart your temperatures of a couple of months and calculate when the most effective days are for sex.

Needless to say there is yet another option which costs nothing and requires no fancy equipment. And that's to have sex a lot more often. This almost certainly seems obvious however it clearly will increase your chances. Experts will typically suggest every other day.

It's important to stay optimistic about it. Assuming you'll find no medical conditions like infertility, then the numbers are on your side. Most couples who decide to try and get pregnant will obtain it occurs within a year.

Days To Get Pregnant Calculator

Fertility Days Calculator Improve Your Chances of Conceiving!
Family planning is crucial given that it requires massive amounts of resources when raising a child. It includes time, financial, and environmental resources just to name a few, and it is of utmost importance to ensure that these resources will be sufficient in order to provide for a child's needs. But if you are not yet ready to have a child, family planning includes programs to prevent pregnancy, and it is a good thing that there's a wide selection of available methods to choose from. Here's a short list of some of the most widely used forms of contraception:

Natural contraceptive methods:

*Rhythm or calendar method

*Withdrawal

*Abstinence

Rhythm method is based on a 28-day cycle, where a woman will count back 14 days from the first day of her period, which is considered as her most fertile days, and thus will need to abstain from sexual intercourse, or use other methods like withdrawal. Abstinence is still the best method of contraception, as contact is not made possible by couples.

Artificial contraceptive methods

*Birth control pills and Norplant implant

*Condoms

*Cervical caps and diaphragms

*IUD

Birth control pills and implants are hormonal treatments that directly affect ovulation and female secretions. Condoms, cervical caps, and diaphragms serve as barriers to prevent the entry of sperm into the female's body. IUD is a device that is being implanted into the uterine wall to prevent pregnancy. In order to take advantage of all the available options there is, one should have a good understanding about the human reproductive process, it is highly suggested that you learn more about it. You can always visit your local health care representative, doctor, or check out online resources to ensure that you are well informed.

On the other hand, if you're sure that you're ready, one tool called fertility days calculator can help you plan for that wanted baby!

  2. QUESTION:
    How many days should I put in menstrual day (eg 28 cycle) calculator if my period late for 5 days in May?
    Hi, my last period is on 31 May 07 & it was late about 5 days. My previous period was 27 April. So I would like to know how many days should I put in the ovulation calculator (eg 28 days cycle) in order to count when is my most fertile day & get pregnant in June this month.
    Pls help & give me some advice. Thanks sis & bros out there!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Now your cycle range is between 28 and 33 days, that means that you will probably ovulate between days 14 and 19. To get pregnant, have sex every other day starting on day 12 and you should be more than covered. You might also try to learn about how to check your cervical mucus to learn when you are the most fertile. When you go to the bathroom, wipe and check to see if you have any discharge on the paper. When you get close to ovulation, you will see some clear, stretchy, slippery mucus that resembles egg-whites. This mucus is triggered by the buildup of hormones before ovulation. When you see it, you should assume that you are fertile. After ovulation, the hormone progesterone dries up the mucus and you know that ovulation is over. The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler is a good resource, you might see if your library has it.

      Good luck! Hope you get your ++++ soon!

  3. QUESTION:
    How accurate is an ultrasound and conception calculator?
    My ultrasound on January 31 said that I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. According to a conception calculator, this would mean I had intercourse around December 22! However, this is for the average person. How likely is it that you get pregnant on your period? I have heard of rare cases, but it happens. Here is the real deal: If I got pregnant before December 10, it could be someone else's baby (other than who I am actually with). Although, this is unlikely, is it possible? I am very scared. Please ease some worry.

    • ANSWER:
      Well from experience my ultrasound first said tht i ws 13 weeks, with a due date of aug 31 then a few months later my doc said the ultrasound was wrong that i was due july 17 i had my son june 24 and it ws then determined he was almost 2 months premature. Still to this day i dnt knw hw they cud have been so wrong, my advice is to look through a 1 month window. Its really hard to pin point your exact conception, count back exactly 8 weeks and look n tht window good luck

  4. QUESTION:
    im now 4 weeks 5 days pregnant according to calculators online and i need help!!?
    me and my boyfriend of three years(which i believe to be the father) broke up a few months ago ... i began to mess around with another kid during this time. our "relationship" began to "fall apart" at the end of september so we hadn't had sex probably after the 30th of september i would say. me and my ex(the boyfriend of 3 yrs)got back together on the 8th and the first day of my last menstrual period was on october 16 2008. i would just like to know if there is any possibility of the shorter boyfriend being the father of my baby rather then the 3 year boyfriend whom i believe to be the father?? please HELP !!

    • ANSWER:
      Ok...if i have this right then your baby daddy would be the 3 year guy.

      The new guy and you stopped seeing each other by the 30 of september? If so then any little swimmers would be dead by October 5th. Then you got your period on October 16th, which means that you didn't get pregnant in the month of september. Then you slept with your 3 year guy and now you are pregnant. As long as I am right with all that then it couldn't be the short term guy...

  5. QUESTION:
    If I conceived 15 days ago, why do the baby calculators say I am 4 weeks pregnant?
    The start date of my last period was February 24th. Then It says I conceived some time around March 9th... which was 15 days ago... (I took a hpt... okay, I took sex of them, whatever). But the calculators all say that I am 4 weeks pregnant. The egg had only been fertilized for two weeks, so why?

    What does the "Oh, I'm 23 weeks pregnant," really mean? Does that mean it's been 23 weeks since your last period? Does it mean that you are 23 weeks into the development of your period? I would feel silly telling people that I am 4 weeks pregnant, when really, I am 15 days pregnant. I don't want to lie! Naturally, I won't tell anyone (except my husband and my mother) until I am MUCH further along (in case I miscarry or something), but I don't want to be a liar of two weeks.

    I'm not sure why this is bothering me so much, but it really is. Lord, I hope I'm not getting hormonal this early.... nah, I just think I'm in a bit of shock. Anyway, can you help? Which is it?
    Oh, geez. Now I'm embarrassed. When I said I took "sex" pregnancy tests, I obviously meant to say six, not sex. Oh, sheesh. Now my cheeks are red. And I can't edit the typo.
    Alyssa'a Mommy just summed up what is really bothering me about the whole thing... I mean, if I count from my LMP, then I was two weeks pregnant before I even had sex! That bother's me because it feels like I was guilty before I committed the crime (obviously it was between me and my hubby, so the crime thing is just a metaphor, but you know what I mean). It's like saying I was pregnant long before I was. I mean, I knew the second that egg was implanted. I had a moment of, "Oh God, I'm pregnant." I knew two weeks ago... I just had to wait until I could take a test to prove it to my husband.

    • ANSWER:
      First, take a deep breath. Second, all OB/GYN's, doctors, nurses, pregnant moms all use the method of counting weeks starting from the date of your last period. I'm 36 weeks pregnant today. I got pregnant technically 34 weeks ago and would tell people who don't get the "counting weeks method" that I'm 8 months pregnant. So, yes, you are 4 weeks pregnant. You are not lying - it's just the way pregnancy is counted. And I knew you meant 6 pregnancy tests. Third, CONGRATS!!!

  6. QUESTION:
    My last normal period was Dec.28 they come every 30-32 days could I be pregnant?
    last period was December 28th.
    On jan 6th (cd 10) I
    started spotting and passing small
    clots. I went to the ER &
    doctors found a small ovarian cyst
    via sonnogram, told me
    the bleeding should stop in the next
    few days when the cyst
    begins to shrink (he said the cyst
    was very small) I had very
    very mild cramps.
    I have been waiting for my period to
    come back and It has
    not. I regulary have my period like
    clockwork...(30-32 days)
    so I am late. I am thinking the cyst
    has shrunk because I am
    no longer bleeding. IVE NEVER been
    late like this before and I
    dont have any kids. Im 25yrs old and
    have been trying to get
    pregnant for many years. Ive had
    bloodwork, an hsg, and
    sonnograms a year ago and they
    said that I dont have any
    abnormalties. Do you think that the
    "cyst" that they saw was
    really a baby? I happened to do a pregnancy calculator and it
    said I would be 4wks and 6 days pregnant to day based on my
    last normal period (two wk fetus) and I am afraid to do a
    pregnancy test. Has anyone ever experience this and was
    pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      i had this same kind of prob my last period was sept 13th and i started having really really bad pains in my abdomen went to my gyno they did a pregnancy test but my appointment was at night, which wen yur early in pregnancy it usually only shows on the first pee of the day.... i already knew i had a cyst from an ultrasound taken a couple weeks before and i was havin cramping and i was lactating but he swore i wasnt pregnant.. after this i was at the hospital again negative test... all in all the pain kept up and then finally i started throwing up everyday like all the time went to my reg dr bcuz i was having really bad pains and was having trouble goiing to the bathroom... when i didnt get any ansers again i finally took a test and in less than 5 sec that baby was positive this was nov. i was pregnant the wholeee time and didnt find out until the end of nov. idk if its the same with you but i do know that ovarian cysts are common with pregnancy and i was scared to take a test too with the whole getting excited and you dont want to be let down. but thank god my bf bought one and i took it or else i would be 5 1/2 months prego rite now and wondering y my boobs were soo big and my tummy l0l your best bet is too take a test buy it and leave it ready in the bathroom so that when you wake up you can grab it and use it that is the best time to use it on the first pee of the day and if your not satisfied go to the gyno and request an ultrasound but bcuz you'd only be about 4 weeks if that make sure they use the one they insert into you otherwise they wont be able to see the baby well its not really a baby yet just a little dot l0l good luck i hope everything works out for the best

  7. QUESTION:
    Spotting for 3 days--pregnant?
    I am on a regular 28 day cycle and my last AF began on May 8th.
    According to ovulation calculator on WebMD.com I should've ovulated around the 22nd.
    Did BD on 19th, 21st, 22nd.
    Beginning on the 24th, I had very light occasional cramping (like what I'd get the day before AF), and some very scant pink & brown spotting. Spotting changed to just brown and continued off and on for two more days (no more pink and no red spotting at all).
    After my supposed ovulation date, I've had virtually no CM (besides teh spotting), which has stayed the same up until now (the 29th).

    How possible is it that I could've ovulated early? Could I be pregnant? I haven't had any problems with nausea or anything. Just a little more sleepy...and very irritable!

    I had implantation bleeding with both of my other children but never brown spotting for several days--I've been worried, but have read that no two pregnancies are alike. Any comments? Suggestions? THANKS!! :)

    • ANSWER:
      YOUR RIGHT, NO TWO PREGNANCIES ARE ALIKE, AND THIS COULD BE IMPANTATION BLEEDING, IN SOME WOMEN IT DOES LAST A FEW DAYS! AND NOT ALL WOMEN HAVE SYMPTOMS, SO DON'T THINK UR NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THAT! THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU OVULATED EARLY AND THAT YOUR PREGNANT, JUST WAIT ANOTHER WEEK AND TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST! GOOD LUCK, AND LOTS OF BABY DUST!!! PRAY 2 GOD HE CAN ALWAYS HELP! PS: CRAMPING IS A SIGN OF PREGNANCY BUT ALSO A PREMENSTRUAL SYMPTOM!

  8. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to have sore boobs at around 3 weeks and a few days pregnant?
    My last period was June 23rd and my cycles are usually around 35 days long and I usually ovulate at the end of my cycle.. this month I didn't use ovulation tests.. but I did a online ovulation calculator and it said between July 11th-July 16th with the due date resulting April 6th which if I got pregnant would make me 3 weeks and 2 days.. and last night I started having tender nipples.. sometimes I get them before my period comes on but when that happens they are REALLY sore and this time their only slightly sore.. so my question is can you have slight tender nipples around 3 weeks?

    • ANSWER:
      i would say yes...but im no expert...when i found out i was pregnant i was 5 weeks, and a week or two before that i had very sore breasts, but i just assumed it was because my period was coming. my breats are still very tender and i am now 18 weeks pregnant.

  9. QUESTION:
    Can I get Pregnant 2 days after my period?
    Me and my Bf had unprotected sex on the 8th 2 days after my period. I didnt mean for it to happen it just kinda did. Well anyway so I have been reading everything about it and stressing my self out. I calculated my ovulation acording to WebMds. Calculator and it tells me I am Most fertil on the 12th and do not ovulate until the 15th . What does this mean. Can I get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      You can get pregnant anytime during your cycle. Even during your period. It is the easiest time to get pregnant while you are ovulating. The best thing you can use is a condom, or go on some kind of birth control.

  10. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant 3 days before your ovulation date?
    OK so according to the ovulation calculator I am supposed to ovulate 25th of June we did it on the 21st and the 22nd can I still get pregnant? Also today is the 23rd I felt sick as a do this morning has anyone felt morning sickness from the moment they conceived is it possible?

    • ANSWER:
      Absolutely, you may have just struck lucky. Remember that in any case, sperm can survive inside of you for up to 5 days - covering your ovulation date by the calculator nicely. Morning sickness usually doesn't happen this early on - it may be related to something you've eaten? I'm sure it's not unheard of but I was about 7 weeks pregnant when I felt sick. The breast tenderness was my first sign - Good luck!

  11. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant 2 days before you ovulate? HELP?!?
    my last period was june 22nd i usually have around a 32 day cycle the ovulation calculator said id be fertile from thurs 7th to tues 12th ovulation on sunday 10th, if i have unprotected sex for the next 3 days would i get pregnant? Somebody please help me?! thanks

    • ANSWER:
      You can only become pregnant the day you ovulate. That doesn't mean that has to be the day you have sex. You can have sex up to 5-7 days before ovulation and still get pregnant when you ovulate.

      By the way, unless the ovulation calculator actually checked your hormone levels you could have already ovulated two days ago or may not ovulate for another six days. And that is if your cycle is the same as usual, you can never be sure of that.

  12. QUESTION:
    What are the odds that I could have gotten pregnant?
    My husband & I had sex without protection about a week ago but he didn't come inside me. I've heard mixed things about precum...that you can get pregnant from it but the odds are slim. I checked an online fertility calculator & the day we had sex was one of the best days to get pregnant. I hoping for another soon so just wondering if I have a chance! Btw: we already have a 2 1/2 yr old!! :)

    • ANSWER:
      You have all the chance to get pregnant! Wait for your missed period and wait for another week and observe the pregnancy signs and symptoms and take a pregnancy test. Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    Missed my peak days....but Pregnant?
    This is my first month off birth control. My LMP was July 11th,2006. I had unprotected sex with my bf either too early or too late when i was SUPPOSE to ovulate. My periods are like clock work, and i am now 2 days late for my period. I am having light cramping, which can also be signs of pregnancy. No other symptoms of pregnancy or period other then that. Even though according to the "ovulation calculator" it says i missed my peak days (3) does it sound like i could be pregnant? Ive heard birth control can take up to 3-6 months to be out of your system and then i heard u can get pregnant immedietly. Being an CMA i should know this but there are sooo many answers, it really depends on the women and the way her body works. Will take a test in a few days if i dont get my period.
    I WAS always regular b4 the pill, and i just waned an insight thats why i used a "ovulation calculator" they are by FAR correct. If i am, i am.
    A baby is a blessing.

    • ANSWER:
      It is not probable.
      However it is definitly possible!
      Time will tell. I know that it is so hard to wait even a day to find out.
      Wishing you the best with conception.
      www.babycenter.com go to the trying to conceive section
      I know I was practically obsessed when I was trying to conceive and time spent reading up on differnt things about preg and conception helped me alot.

  15. QUESTION:
    How accurate could a conception estimate be? Off by 13 days?
    My ultrasound was on January 31 the doctor said I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant. According to a conception calculator, this would mean I had intercourse around December 22! The doctor estimated it to be around December 23. However, this is for the average person. Is it possible that I could have got pregnant before December 10, around the time of my period? This is when I think it could have happened but that is not what the doctor estimated?? Help? This is my first pregnancy so I am kind of clueless. But even a conception calculator I used online tells me it happened only between December 20 and December 26?

    • ANSWER:
      Early ultrasounds are accurate to within a couple of days of conception, so no - it could not be off by nearly 2 weeks. You did not get pregnant before Dec 10th.

  16. QUESTION:
    help me understand! pregnant!?
    Okay, my boyfriend and i are trying to get pregnant. Anyway i was ouvating on the 19th of this month ( 3 days ago) we had sex every day in that week and on that day to try.

  17. QUESTION:
    How many days of your cycle can you actually get pregnant?
    I know the most fertile times is when you are ovulating, but is it still possible before or after that? According to a ovulation calculator my most fertile days this month would have been from the 16 to the 20th. My husband and i have been planning on ttc after summer and its getting close so were not too worried and recently had unprotected sex, the first time was the 25th and then again since then.. i'm just curious if i still could have gotten pregnant at that time. My period is due the 5th of Sept, and i cant even wait that long to find out! :) Apparently my family is very fertile.. i dont know if that would make any difference.
    This might be a dumb question.. but i'm just curious.
    Thanks :)

    • ANSWER:
      Your fertile window is about 5 days a month... 3 days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and the day after ovulation. That's about it.

      If you were supposed to ovulate on Aug. 20, you would not have been fertile on the 25th. An egg only lives for 12-24 hours after its release. That's why it's more important to have sex BEFORE ovulation than after.

      I would suggest you learn about your fertility. The more you know, the better your chances of getting pregnant sooner. The book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" will teach you many things about how your body works. For some women getting pregnant is as easy as tossing out birth control, for others it's not. So a little information never hurts.

      Good luck.

  18. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant intercourse 2 days before ovulation?
    My husband and I had intercourse on 9/21. My ovulation starts on 9/23 according to the ovualtion calculator. What are my chances of conceiving?

    • ANSWER:
      If you did actually ovulate on the 23rd then the 21st would have been either the day of your lh surge or the day before.

      Lh surges happen usually 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.

      You are the most fertile during the day of your lh surge so you have a have a good chance.

      I would recommend using an opk to detect exact lh surge.

  19. QUESTION:
    if i don't take my birth control for 5 days can i get pregnant if im ovulating?
    my boyfriend and i are trying to get pregnant.
    if i stop taking my pills today (monday).
    and try to get pregnant on saturday.
    could it happen?
    i last started my period on nov. 11th.
    today is the beginning of my second week of pills for this pack.
    i did an ovulation calculator and i would be ovulating on the 26th.
    would it be more likely for me to start my period early or get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      get You need to think long and hard before doing this. It is recommended that women don't try to get pregnant until they are at least 3 months off the pill..the reason is because the hormones stay in your body for awhile even after you quit taking them. If you look at your bc pack it will tell you that if you get pregnant while on the pill the "side effects to the fetus are minimal". would you let your baby take a medication if your pediatrician told you the side effects "would be minimal"?? Probably not...wait a few months at least before trying to get pregnant so you have the healthiest baby possible. Good luck!!

  20. QUESTION:
    Most fertile days coming up but can I still get pregnant now?
    I use a calculator to see when my most fertile days for conception would be. But you can still get pregnant before and after...of course. But what I'm wondering then..is days when you're not the most fertile what are the chances of getting pregnant..like when you're least fertile - right after your period. And is it just "easier" to get pregnant on the most fertile days?

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible to get pregnant if you have sex a few days before or a few days after you ovulate because of the short life cycle of the egg and the longer life cycle of the sperm. Sperm can live 3-5 days so if you have sex in the 5 days before your ovulation then you can get pregnant. An egg lives 1-2 days so you also possibly have 2 more days after ovulation actually occurs. So, you have roughly one week each month that you can pregnant - if you do indeed ovulate, that is - and if your cervical fluid is the fertile type of fluid. Some months you may not release an egg and therefore have 0% chance of getting pregnant even if you have sex every single day.

  21. QUESTION:
    could i have gotten pregnant 2 days before my period an still have a period ?

  22. QUESTION:
    How far along pregnant am I?
    LNMP: September 23, 2009
    I would like to know how many weeks, months, days I could be and when I possibly conceived. Please also include the resource of your information if there is any (so I can look to it later).
    I saw a doctor on November 30 who at that date said I was 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant. On December 14 I saw the doctor I was referred to and she said I was 11 weeks 4 days pregnant. I went online to find a calculator for this so I can follow my pregnancy and learn about it as it progresses but I am now getting conflicting dates. I don't really trust the doctor either and I want to make sure she is on track (she has screwed up on a lot of things already). I plan on switching doctors soon.
    THANKS SO MUCH

    • ANSWER:
      Congratulations!!! Let me see if I can help you.
      Pregnancy is counted from you LMP (last menstrual period) eventhough you obviously did not get pregnant the day you last started your period. It's silly and takes some getting used to, but that is how it is calculated. Those two weeks between the start of your LMP and conception count so that by the time you miss your period 28 days after your LMP, you are said to be 4 weeks pregnant.

      Since some women still have a period or light period during early pregnancy, sometimes the most accurate way of dating the pregnancy is by vaginal ultrasound. Whatever your earliest ultrasound is, if you have more than one, is usually the most accurate for dating purposes.

      If the first doc was correct, then on Dec.14th you should have been 11w, 5 days: since that just added 2 weeks from your 1st appt.

      DIfferences in dating could occur if-
      - your LMP was recorded differently with the 2 offices
      - one doc started "ON" the LMP date and the other started the first day "AFTER your LMP date
      - the date is calculated by ultrasound

      Only about 5% of babies are born on their actual "due date" so calculating it is really just an estimate.

      I like this site for explaining it all.

      Congratulations!!! Enjoy following your progress!

  23. QUESTION:
    Pregnancy calculator?
    I've just been told that I'm going to be a dad. This was after a 1 night stand, I know how irresponsible this was but now I have to deal with the consequences. This happened on the 29 January and I've checked a pregnancy calculator and it says the mother is now 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant. How is that worked out if it was only 5 weeks and 2 days ago. She says her last period was on the 12 January and I'm the only person she's slept with. All I can do is take her on her word and support her until the baby is born, then get a paternity test done. She says that the last person she slept with was on the 1st of January. If what she's saying is true, does this mean I'm definitely the father?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you are the father. Even though she only got pregnant 5 weeks ago the gestation period starts at the last menstrual period. So the first two weeks of pregnancy the woman is technically not pregnant.
      Congrats even though this isn't the best circumstances one day you will look back and won't be able to imagine your life without the child.

  24. QUESTION:
    Is it still possible that I am pregnant?
    So I posted a question here the other day and didn't really get much out of it. But here's my story. Ever since I was 12, I have had perfect periods pretty much. I'm 18 now. I am always on time and never late. The only symptoms I have before getting my period is cramps which I get the day before I am on it. My boyfriend and I have been having a lot of unprotected sex lately and he has been doing it in me, I noticed today that one of the days was supposed to be my ovulation date. I have taken two at home pregnancy tests. One, the night before I was supposed to get my period. The second time was this morning using my morning urine. Both of these tests came out negative. The third test was taken at planned parenthood and it came out negative as well. I used a pregnancy calculator today and it said I would only be 1 week and 4 days pregnant. Could this be why I am testing negative? Is it too soon to be using a pregnancy test? I know that there could be other reasons why I'm late but I just don't really believe it because I have never had a late period in my life. I have not been under a lot of stress, I have not changed my diet, eating, or exercising or anything like that. I really believe that I may be pregnant. I have noticed that I have had to pee a lot more and I have been feeling very sluggish the last two days. I have also been feeling nauseous the last two days in the evening. I was due for my period on December 1, 2010. I am now going on 3 days late and have not experienced any cramps or signs that my period could be coming. Is it possible that I could still be pregnant?
    The pregnancy calculator goes by your last period, how long your cycle is, and what your luteal phase length is. This is the one I used.

    http://www.standupgirl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=132&Itemid=30

    • ANSWER:
      3 days late is not very late. Give it a few more days and test again.

      I am not sure what that pregnancy calculator is doing...but you count your pregnancy starting from the first day of your last period. Obviously that is about 4 weeks ago.

  27. QUESTION:
    If I had sex 10 days after my period can I still get pregnant?
    Hi I would like to know if it's possible if I can get pregnant 10 days after my period because my last menstrual cycle was October 19 and on October 29-October 31 is when I begin to get fertile; I had sex on Oct 28 & Oct 29 and also November 2 those 3 times my partner cum inside me. & on November 1 that's when I ovulate but I was reading an ovulation calculator and it told me that if i had sex on november 2 conception is still very possible; is that true? and it also told me october 29 is the very beginning of my fertile period and it's possible that sperm could survive inside me until the egg is real eased. I missed out on having sex on october 30-31 which would of increased my chances of getting pregnant. But do you guys still think that I can get pregnant on the days I had sex? can someone give me some information on more about this.

    • ANSWER:
      yes you can

    • ANSWER:
      you can take some tests five days before your period look for one of hose if it isnt that close than you will just have to wait

  29. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant 6 days before ovulation?
    This is long, but please read! It's very important.

    Before I add any detail, let me just say that I am 14 years old. I don't need your criticism or your judgments, because that's not what this question is about. I know that you should always use protection and all that, etc.
    And by the way, I'm not trying to get pregnant.

    Anyways, so my period is usually irregular, but my cycle is usually around 29-30 days long. A little longer than the average 28. I know ovulation is hard to predict, and that it differs with each woman, but when I plugged in my information into ovulation calculators/calendars, they said that my fertile days were sometime between the 11th and 18th of January, But that my ovulation date was the 15th or 16th. I had unprotected sex on the 10th late that night. He did not ejaculate inside of me, he pulled out, (yes I know that's not a very affective way of birth control) but he did have a lot of precum. We had sex, waited an hour, and had sex again. He urinated before the first time we had sex, and I've read that that can clear out any sperm left over from a previous ejaculation. But after the first time we had sex that day, he did not urinate before we had sex again. And like I said, there was a lot of precum. And I know precum can contain sperm.

    I would just like to know if any one has gotten pregnant from having sex 6 days before ovulation, or if anyone knows anyone who has. I've looked up a lot of things on the internet already, but I've had mixed answers about how long sperm can live inside a women, but mostly I read it's between 3 and 7 days.

    It's too soon to have any pregnancy symptoms, so I'm not exactly sure right now what my outcome will be.
    I know it's a very slim chance that I am, but I would just like to know if anyone has any insight.
    As soon as I am able to, I am going to take a pregnancy test just to make sure.

    Thanks for reading and thanks for any information you might have!

    • ANSWER:
      you are right, a lot of people will judge you, but its important you have this info. since you have irregular periods, you cant count on the predicting your ovulation days. you could ovulate the day after you end your period, it just depends on when your body starts the whole cycle of menstration. there is a possibility you could be pregnant, take plan b, it works, but a trick about knowing when you ovulate, just take one of those tests right in the middle of your next periods, and see if you are ovulating, then give yourself 4 days on both ends of that day each month, then i would say its safe to have unprotected sex, except of course stds, but you already should know that stuff. if you reallg dont want to get pregnant, go to any planned parenthood, or free clinic and you can get birth control and plan b for free...

  31. QUESTION:
    Is it possibe to get pregnant 1 day before ovulation?
    Okay so according to the ovulation calculator i should have ovulated on July 17. We had sex on the 16 and now I'm not showing any signs of ovulation. Usually I can tell because I will get EWCM right before and theres usually alot of it. Could it be possible I am pregnant now and that's why I am not showing signs of ovulation?

    • ANSWER:
      not necessarily be pregnant one day before ovulation, but since sperms can stay alive inside ur body for up to 72 hrs. so by the time u ovulate, the sperms may already be waiting for the egg in the fallopian tube & can still make u pregnant.

  32. QUESTION:
    Had sex 2 days before I'm expected to ovulate, is there a good chance of getting pregnant?
    Had sex 2 days before expected to ovulate, good chance I could become pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to conceive and an ovulation calculator said I would probably ovulate on the 22nd-27th. We had sex multiple times on the 20th, 21st and the 23rd. I also slept with a pillow under my hips which I believe helped me to get pregnant last time. Is there a good chance I could conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      I think you have a good chance as sperm can live inside you for 5-7 days. However, I wouldn't always trust the ovulation calculators as they don't pick up variations in your cycle.

      It may be better to try ovulation tests. They predict when you are about to ovulate so can help pinpoint the best time for sex too. Good luck

  33. QUESTION:
    What are your chances of getting pregnant on the last day of ovulation?
    My fiance and I are getting married in 3 weeks, however we had sex 2 days ago and I'm not on the pill. I'm not concerned because we want to get pregnant after the wedding...so a little bit early isn't the end of the world. I used on online ovulation calculator and it told me that we had sex on the last day that I 'should' have been ovulating. Just wondering how common it is to get pregnant on that day when we didn't have sex at any other point this month?

    Has this happened to anyone?

    • ANSWER:
      online calculators really can't predict when you ovulate. that's because every woman's cycle is a little different, and many women ovulate on a different day each cycle. so the online calculator is just a general guideline, more or less, and can't be trusted. i would take it with a grain of salt.

      if you want to know when you ovulate, otherwise known as your most fertile days, buy a Clearblue fertility monitor or else use Ovulation Predictor Kit test strips, or better yet, chart your fertility signs by taking your basal body temperature every morning before you get out of bed. Its very easy and doesn't cost anything. You just take your temperature every day and write down the result on a chart. Then you will know EXACTLY when you ovulate.

      other than that, PLEASE start taking a daily prenatal vitamin to make sure you get your folic acid requirement. just in case you are pregnant, you don't want your baby to have spina bifida or some other birth defect becauase you weren't taking your prenatal vitamins. also, please don't drink if there is any chance you might be pregnant!

      good luck and congrats on the wedding

  34. QUESTION:
    I am spotting 3 days after intercourse. Could I be pregnant? Please Help?
    My periods are on a 28-day cycle. My last period started on Feb. 23, 2008. According to online ovulation calculators, I should have ovulated on March 8, 9, or 10, 2008. I had sex on March 14, and today, three days later (March 17) I am having red/pink mucous-ish light bleeding.

    We had protected sex, but i accidentally touched some of the ejaculation. I wiped it off my fingers until it was dry with a paper towel, but later I fingered myself. Is this enough to get pregnant?

    I think it's unlikely that I would get pregnant FOUR DAYS after my "predicted ovulation date of march 10". But let's just say I ovulated on the very late date of March 14, the day that i had intercourse. IF i had gotten pregnant that day, this bleeding is still weird. it's only 3 days after the day of sex. I heard implantation bleeding happens 6-12 days after fertilization. However, there are some stories of it happening even 2 days after fertilization. So is it possible that i'm pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      sperm cells are microscopic you don't know if something was left even when you wiped it off your hands. get checked.

  35. QUESTION:
    I am 12 days late on my period, could I be pregnant?
    I took a test on the 9th day of being late which was negative. My cycle is 32 days average based on my period calculator. I have started taking prenatal vitamins the beginning of this month. I am not on any birth control because I the hormones cause me to be sick. I took an ECP on Oct 28 and got my period on Nov 14-17. My period was supposed to come on Dec 16. Can someone help me?

    • ANSWER:
      It is very possible that you could be pregnant. The only real way to know if you are pregnant, is to go to the doctors & have them do an ultrasound, or a blood test to find out. Those are the only real ways to know if you are pregnant, if the pregnancy tests come back negative. I hope the best for you.

  36. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant with a cycle over 35 days?
    I've been looking at online ovulation calculators and most don't go past 36 days and Webmd just gives an error message to see my doctor! Before I was on the pill (from age 12-19) my cycles were always longish (32-39 days) and after coming off the pill 10 months ago (I'm 24 now) they've gone back to being long.

    Is there something wrong with me?! Have you gotten pregnant with a long cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      You just have to look for your ovulation later in your cycle. Around day 21 or 22 usually 14 days before your period is due. The only reason it lowers your chances is because you have less periods in a year that someone with a shorter cycle...try getting a ovulation Monitor too see when you ovulate for sure!!

  37. QUESTION:
    5 days before ovulation, could i get pregnant?
    i got my period 3/5/10 and had sex March 18th and 19th, i have an ovulation calendar and try different ovulation calculators and they say i should be most fertile on march 24th and i also read that sperm could live up to 3-5 days or 3-7 days. So my question is can i still get pregnant 5 days before ovulation? i really want another baby and i don't want to over due it with having intercourse so much because then i think about it too much and they say that can cause me not to get pregnant. So can someone please help me?

    • ANSWER:
      Thinking about it too much won't prevent you from getting pregnant. Try to have sex at least every other day and think about having a baby all the time and you'll be fine.

  38. QUESTION:
    Had sex 2 days before expected to ovulate -good chance of becoming pregnant?
    Me and my husband are trying to conceive and an ovulation calculator said I would probably ovulate on the 22nd-25th. We had sex multiple times on the 20th and also the 21st. I also slept with a pillow under my hips which helped me to get pregnant last time. Is there a good chance I could conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      yes a big chance

I also slept with a pillow under my hips which I believe helped me to get pregnant last time. Is there a good chance I could conceive?

    • ANSWER:
      i wouldn't use the calculator.. it's hardly ever correct. i tried using that and never got pregnant in the 3 mths i tried. i started tracking it w/an online program and conceived in 3 months. not every women ovulates @ the normal 2 wks after the start of their cycle and even w/a regular cycle women can ovulate @ diff times every month. if you start to feeling very wet (watery/eggwhite CM) you're in your most fertile window so have sex! if you're having more and more creamy Cm then start having sex every other day. sperm stays in your cervix up to 6 days max in ideal conditions. i use fertilityfriend.com. it tracks BBT, cm, ur cervix and everything in between. it'll take 2 cycles to figure it out but at least it won't be a guessing game. it's a great tool! don't have sex every day as that lowers sperm count - every other day is good :)

  41. QUESTION:
    Very worried about if i am pregnant or not?
    ok my last period was feb. 26 2010, i estimated using the online calculators and i ¨conceived¨ march 13 it said i am about 4 weeks 6 days pregnant I have not gotten my period, i took a pregnancy test result 100% negative not even the lightest mark of being pregnant...
    My Questions:
    1- was it too early to take the test?
    2- when should i take another one?
    3- today i wok up with a pain in my right nipple as if they bit it to hard. can that be a sign

    I am very confused please give me some advice because i am not taking any vitamins, and if i am pregnant i want my baby to be born healthy

    • ANSWER:
      it sounds to me like you might not be pregnant you could be really stressed, give yourself two more weeks still dont have your period go to the doctor.

  42. QUESTION:
    A question about the ovulation calculator?
    I did an online ovulation calculator and it says I should start ovulating Nov. 3-8 so does that mean I have a better chance of getting pregnant those days and which day would be best to try?? I just got the clear stretchy discharge today.

    • ANSWER:
      I googled this and hope it helps you.

      Have sex regularly during your fertile period:
      When you think you’ve spotted all your ovulation signs, it’s time to have plenty of sex! This will boost your chances of conceiving, especially as sperm can survive for up to 7 days so are more likely to connect with the egg, which only survives unfertilised for up to a day.

  43. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant on a fertile day?
    such as my last period was on april 29. my periods are anywhere from 25 to 27 days apart. on my ovulation calculator it said my most fertile day is may 10. so my husband and i had sex.

    • ANSWER:

  44. QUESTION:
    should i ask for a paternity test?
    my girlfriend was on the pill and we had sex at the beginning of her period, i left town for work and she decided to go off the pill the day after i left. that was june 20, i didnt see her until july 14, around the 5 of august she told me she was pregnant, the doctor said he thinks she got pregnant around july 5 and the due date should be around april 5 today was the first ultra sound i couldnt go cause of work, she said that shes 7 weeks 2 days pregnant according to the ultra sound, according to the pregnancy calculator shes 9 weeks 2 days, im guessing cause the date of pregnancy and conception are 2 weeks apart, it places her fertility window between june 29 and july 9, her estimated conception date is the 4 of july, i was 1000 miles away, according to the calculator the due date is march 26 and the dr said april 9, the dr and the calculator are within 2 weeks of eachother so i believe they are accurate, i know that a girl can get pregnant up to 3 days after sex and it takes 3 or 4 days to concieve (when the egg attaches it self to the wall) but even with a weeks grace either way i cant figure how i got her pregnant, i really dont want to ask for a test cause it will harm our relationship but i dont wanna be with a cheater either, she swears she wouldnt cheat but weve all heard that before and when i ask questions about the dates she gets mad and accuses me of not trusting her, which kinda makes me wonder if i should, when i ask she sayd does it really matter? were having a baby, please help i care for her alot and id love to have a family with her but im not accepting a child thats not mine and im deffinetly not staying with a cheater

    • ANSWER:
      If her due date is April 5th, then her conception date is July 14th. You are already considered 2 weeks pregnant when you conceive. If the ultrasound said she is 7 weeks, two days, that means 5 weeks and two days ago you got her pregnant. Ultrasounds in the first trimester are highly accurate.

      Don't worry, you are the Daddy. Good luck!

      Using http://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy-due-date-calculator?sub=true&lmp=false&month=6&day=14&year=2011
      Congratulations! Your baby is due on or around:

      Thursday, April 5, 2012

      Right now you're about 7 weeks pregnant and your baby is the size of a blueberry.
      See your personalized calendar below for a list of exciting pregnancy milestones.
      Also, learn how due dates are calculated.

      Mark your calendar!

      Here's when you can expect several key pregnancy milestones to happen. (All dates are best guesses, since every woman's pregnancy is different).

      July 14, 2011 (2 weeks pregnant)

      Your baby's conceived

      Doctors start counting pregnancy from the first day of your last period, so at conception you're considered 2 weeks along.

  45. QUESTION:
    Missed miscarriage or messed up dates?
    I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child. My husband and I have tried for three years to conceive and FINALLY we did it! It was incredible because we weren't using fertility drugs this cycle or anything. Anyway, I have PCOS so I have very abnormal cycles...usually 30-40 day cycles...so my period was "due" (I use the term lightly, it comes when it feels like it) on April 29th so I decide to take a test on April 30th and it was POSITIVE (faint, but there!) I called the doctor, got an appointment...kept testing EVERY DAY and they were getting darker and darker. I went to the doctor on May 4th and they confirmed the pregnancy with a urine test. They didn't take any blood or test my HCG or progesterone or anything, the doctor said he thought everything would be fine since I had never had a miscarriage before. Two days later ALL of my pregnancy symptoms disappeared (tiredness, breast tenderness, irritibility) but some new stuff emerged (heartburn, weepiness) and I was still peeing every hour. Well, I got really scared and by this morning I was done, I had to know what was going on because I just felt like something was very WRONG. I got an appointment to have an ultrasound which showed a gestational sac, nothing else. The sac measured at 4 weeks. Now, due to my weird cycles...I could be anywhere from 4 weeks 6 days pregnant to 6 weeks 2 days pregnant (based on due date calculator and possible conception dates)

    I'm just at a total loss for what to think, or what to do. Half of me wants to think positively, assume everything is FINE and I am only 4 weeks 6 days so the ultrasound was pretty much right on...the other half of me wants to say "you know what...it's over...there is no hope" I want this so badly and I'm TERRIFIED to let myself be excited now. Is there anything I can do?? Can I just lay in bed all weekend and relax and hope the baby grows...what are the odds that the baby is in fact no longer growing? I have to wait until next Friday to go back to the doctor for another scan to see what's going on in there. All I have been doing today is crying and begging God to let my baby make it...is there anything I can do to help make this happen????

    • ANSWER:
      Honestly I think it may just be mixed up dates... with your cycle being so "all over the place" its very possible that you just aren't as far along as you thought. Try not to worry, I know its hard. I just found found out I am pregnant as well (on April 30th)... but can't get a doctors appt until the 21st (they are soooo busy). So I myself am alittle overly anxious and worried-so we are in the same boat!

      Best of luck to you! Congrats!!! :-)

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Can a woman only get pregnant during ovulation days?
    Can a woman ONLY get pregnant during her ovulation days? I did an ovulation calendar for myself because I am ttc. It will be the 1st time I get pregnant but I would like to know if I could only get pregnant during those 5 ovulation days? Because its kind of funny, what happens to the other 25 or so days of the month? Cant make babies on those other days? It’s kind of frustrating having only 5 days out of the month.

    • ANSWER:
      yes you can get pregnant at anytime during your cycle....its just not as easy after your ovulation finishes because the egg has died out and your body is getting ready to be rid of the remains (hence your period). but before ovulation may be slightly easier because that is when the egg is newly forming, or has almost matured, its just depending on how many days before the ovulation that a woman has had intercourse since sperm can live up 7 days inside a woman....and ovulation may occur during anytime and occasionally more than once.

  2. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant 5 days after my period?
    My period began on Monday, September 25. I usually start it on the last Sunday or Monday of every month. My period lasted until Thursday, the last day of a little spotting.

    Saturday, September 30 at around 11pm, I had sex with my boyfriend. We used a condom, but after he ejaculated and pulled out of me, the condom slipped off and stayed inside me. I'm assuming he didn't hold on to it when he moved.

    I'm hoping I'm not pregnant and I've tried using a calendar to figure out ovulation days, etc. but I can't figure things out. I've noticed an increase in vaginal discharge (nothing funny-smelling or weird-colored) and I'm extremely nervous, since I don't want to be pregnant right now.

    Do any of these sound like symptoms of pregnancy? How soon can I know? Must I simply wait for my next period scheduled on October 29th or so?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can get pregnant IF you ovulated around that time. Most women don't ovulate that early after menses however. If you're just noticing TODAY a change in your body being the type of cervical fluid then that means you're about to ovulate. It becomes like eggwhites. Sperm, if they're strong, can live in your body up to five days if the conditions are right meaning you have fertile quality cervical fluid (the eggwhite looking and feeling stuff) and if your cervix is high and soft in your body. Implantation generally takes about 5 days. And another few days after that for enough HCG to be present in your urine to be detected even faintly on a pregnancy test. Try not to stress about it right now. You'll be able to test for sure in about 19 days.

      You might want to consider starting to chart your periods if you're only using condoms so you can better arm yourself with when you're ovulating so you can use an additional method of BC or abstain for an evening. There's a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility that is very useful and when used properly is 98% effective at helping you prevent getting pregnant. It is very informative and should be on every woman's bookshelf whether she's trying to get pregnant or refrain from it. Also, another tool useful for tracking your cycles is www.fertilityfriend.com

      Also, there are a LOT of women who do not have the "textbook" case of ovulation on day 14 following your period. So, for the men who gave answers they were very wrong unless you are one of those women (not trying to be a snot, it just annoys me to no end when men think they know what they're talking about with women's issues...unless you're an ob/gyn guys, just read, don't answer on this kind of thing). Good luck and don't worry because you're probably not PG.

  3. QUESTION:

  4. QUESTION:
    Can You still get pregnant by taking antibiotics 24hrs after taking morning after pill?
    My gf and I were having sex last week and the condom split without our knowledge so she took a morning after pill about 12 hours later. The next day though, she got started on antibiotics and I'm only now finding out that those can make the MAP less effective. Her period is usually irregular but we still use the 28 day cycle for reference. We had sex 4 days before she was due to ovulate according to the 28 day calendar. Could she still get pregnant?

  8. QUESTION:
    What chances out of what are there to get pregnant on the day that says VERY FERTILE on the ovulation calendar
    I calculated my ovulation days and they were from the 17th through the 22nd and the very fertile days were the 19th and today the 20th. I had intercourse three to four times on the first day that was a "Very Fertile" day and ejaculation took place two to three times. What would be my possibilities and what and when would be the very first thing i would notice?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you've got about a 20-25% chance each cycle, even if you 'do everything right'. Bear in mind that ovulation calculators, as with everything on the web, are entirely subjective and not fully reliable. But if you were BD-ing a bunch, you've got excellent chances all the same!

      Implantation occurs between 8 and 10 days after ovulation for 84% of pregnancies, and only after implantation has happened does the body even know it's pregnant. At that time, it slowly starts to make hCG which is the pregnancy hormone. This is what you're testing for with an HPT and it's also the thing that gives you symptoms, but it can take 2 weeks or even more to build up in your system. So I wouldn't bother testing until after your period is officially late. Good luck!

  9. QUESTION:
    Can you be pregnant the day after ovulation?
    hello,
    my husband and i are trying to have a baby. my ovulation day is 12/2/09. we made love on 11/28/09 and on 11/30/09 and again today. what are the changes of us getting pregnant? we are new at this. based on the calendar, my fertile days were from 11/27 to 12/02/09. can someone help?

    • ANSWER:
      Your egg could possibly have bee fertilized, but you won't know until you wait out the 2 weeks and then take a home preg test. The average healthy woman has a 20% chance of conceiving on any given month, so that is a 1 in 5 chance. It generally takes "most" women about 6-9 months to conceive after they start "trying." Hope this helps. Baby blessings.

  12. QUESTION:
    Wondering if I am pregnant after 2 days of brown discharge and bleeding?
    I started my period on October 10, then had unprotected sex on October 18th. I used to be very irregular with my periods and had PCOS before concieving twins in 04. I lost 30 lbs last year and had hcg shots and phentermine to loose the weight. I have been off the pill and much more regular 28-30 day cycle. I also got pregnant last December but had no idea til 8 weeks, then lost the baby around 10 weeks, after a D&C and genetic testing we found normal chromosomal abnormalities.
    I experienced brown spotting and light bleeding (diff. than menst.) that started Friday night (10/28) and finished it up last night. I started progesterone suppositories last week thinking I may be preggo. I had them in the fridge since my January miscarriage. I feel like I could be pregnant... was this implantation bleeding? When should I take a test.
    According to most fertility calendars, day 9 is too early to get pregnant... I also started getting a sore throat and am very achy and tired today but have no fever. Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      you never know if it was too early or not.!! You could be.!!
      wait until you miss your period and take a hpt or 2.!! or take one now, if you are, maybe the line will just be very faint.!
      oh and brown blood is just old blood.

  13. QUESTION:
    Getting Pregnant & days in cycle...?
    I've always wondered this, if for fertility tracking women are supposed to follow a certain calendar, check when they are ovulating etc... than is it actually possible to get pregnant everytime a person has sex? This tracking of when one is ovulating implies to me that it in fact is not possible everytime, rather only if it happens to be when the woman is ovulating (as difficult as that is to determine). Can someone explain this better to me? Thanks, I'm so confused but I will choose a best answer :)

    • ANSWER:
      It is only possible to get pregnant just a couple days before and a day after ovulating.

      The problem is there is no set day for ovulation. Calculators just give you averages. This is why you need to learn about your body and your cycles and figure out when you ovulate and then have sex accordingly.

      "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is an awesome comprehensive but easy to read book about how this all works and www.fertilityfriend.com is a pretty good online chart maker for your cycles.

  14. QUESTION:
    Do you think I'm pregnant?
    I think I'm about 3 weeks and 2 days pregnant. The area around my nipples have gotten darker, my boobs are a bit sore, I don't like certain smells or foods that used to not bother me, and I get nauseous sometimes. I had a little blood in my underwear about 5 days ago, I had some slight cramping about 5 days ago. I have a 25 day cycle, and an online calendar said my period is supposed to start about the 31st. My LP is about 15 days I believe. It also says I ovulated the 16th, which is correct, and conceived the 17th.

    I'm just wondering, when can I take a pregnancy test?

    • ANSWER:
      You can take a pregnancy test as soon as you miss your period. There are some that say you can take it 5 days before the missed period, but I'd really rather wait til your missed period so you can build up more of the pregnancy hormones. You should take a few test, to confirm it. Maybe 2-3. If one comes out negative, wait a few days and take another. Or wait a week. If they keep coming out negative the odds are you aren't pregnant. If you're still worried after gettinga negative result, you can have your doctor give you a blood test.

      Good lucky!

    i just found out yesterday that i am pregnant! yay! but im wondering when do i need to make an appointment?
    according to a pregnancy calendar, based on when i ovulate and if i got pregnant then, i am about 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant... so when should i call kaiser and make an appt? is it to early?

    • ANSWER:
      When you calculate your due date, you should be going from the first day of your last period to calculate how far along you are. Going by ovulation date does not tell you how far along you are.
      You should make an appointment pretty soon. They may want to take a couple of blood samples to follow your HCG levels to make sure the pregnancy is thriving. They also may want to give you an u/s to get an accurate due date.
      Congratulations on your pregnancy.

  17. QUESTION:
    my fertile days are 8,9,10, & ovulation on the 11.should i have sex to get pregnant before or after the dates.?
    my last period was may 29 through june 4. witch is 7 days. my calendar date at www.fertilityfriend.com says that my fertile days are the 8th, 9th, and the 10th of june (this month). my ovulation day is the 11th (this month). I would like 2 know what days are the best for getting pregnant for me. before or after the dates. please answer my question. thanks.

    • ANSWER:
      it would be perfectly acceptable to have sex every other day on those dates or even once every 24 hours (meaning once a day with around a full day or more between BDes, so if you do it in the mornings and want to have sex every day, either stick to mornings or go from mornings to evenings, giving more than 24 hours, but not vice versa. example: sex on the 8th and 9th in the AM, then 10th, 11th, and 12th in the PM)

      You can have sex before and after the dates, but sex at this time, assuming you DO ovulate on the 11th (is this just a FF guess, or is this based on previous charted cycles of BBT?), but in case you are not BBTing, I'd continue having sex at least every other day after that as well..

  18. QUESTION:
    Can u get pregnant 9 days or 8 days after your period? Help?!?
    Okay well am planing to get pregnant it's on my fertile days or on my ovulation can't remember cause of my calendar. Well am trying to get pregnant on purpose I know it sounds really bad/selfish but that's the only way I could be with my bf whom I love

    • ANSWER:
      maybe you are talking about some other circumstance that is very complicated, and involves you both wanting to be together (i.e. he has to move for job or something).... but regardless you should not do this behind his back, it could very well and most likely will sooner or later, backfire. it should all be about the baby, and him/her having a loving and stable home. not about you keeping a hold of someone that you love. if he loves you and you love him, and he must leave or something, you guys can work through it even if its long distance (ive done it), if its worth it. if not then you both will find someone who is. if he just wants to leave you and you want to keep him by getting pregnant, then you are being incredibly selfish, and the poor baby and father. being lied to and manipulated.. the baby being born as a tool for yourself to keep someone that is choosing to not be with you anymore (if that is the case).
      do you really want him to be with you because he HAS to? (if you're LUCKY he will push through his unhappiness for the baby's sake **putting the baby's needs first, like you SHOULD HAVE**)
      do you really want him to smile into your eyes and inside he is miserable, sad or unhappy??
      you will be living a lie. just because the baby is real, doesn't mean your (his) love is.

      i don't mean this to hurt. i hope that if this is the case, and if it could help, it would save much heart ache and pain, drama, court cases from the child, etc. and most importantly, maybe save the innocent baby from all the pain of going through child custody issues.

      if he wants to be with you, he will be. and if you BOTH want to have a baby, and are financially and mentally ready for one, then congratulations. other than that, please put the baby first. and if you love him so very much you would be putting him first(before yourself) and be wanting to fix or help your relationship, by being honest. not by starting the biggest lie of your life.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could be pregnant

      Withdrawal method is 40% chance of getting pregnant.

      You're going to have to take a test.

      The calendar method is only effective if you know when you ovulate, you can ovulate at ANY time during your cycle, even when you have your period.

      You BOTH should be using birth control if you don't want a baby.

  21. QUESTION:
    Which days are the best days to try to get pregnant?
    Our surrogate is a little fertile on the 14th, Fertile on the 15th, VERY fertile on the 16th, and Ovulates on the 17th. According to the calendar anyway. Been tracking ovulation for 3 months now. We want to try on the best 2 days. How many hours should we wait in between home inseminations?
    Home inseminations are where we do artificial inseminations..at home. Where the bio mother and bio father do not have sex.
    I am not buying sperm.

    • ANSWER:
      Who ever sells you the sperm for insemination should also give you instructions. Assuming bio insemination every 48 hours but as the artificial is less virulent it wll be less than that time frame.

  23. QUESTION:
    Can I still get pregnant 2 days before my ovulation week?
    Hey everyone!!! Normally me and my husband use condoms. My husband is VERY strict on this detail. But last night I told him I wanted to set a date to TTC. Well this morning when he came home from work we had sex. He did not use a condom. Like I said he is strict on using them. I think this is a sign that he is not trying but not preventing. Well according to an ovulation calendar based on past periods my ovulation week starts in 2 days. Could I still get pregnant due to this encounter??
    Oh and I am unsure if I ovulated early. Last night I was cramping.. So idk what this means.

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation occurs between 12 and 16 days *before* your next period, immaterial of how long or short your cycle is.. As sperm can survive between 3 and 5 days, sex 18 days before a period is due or in the following 5-6 days can give a 20-25% chance of pregnancy per cycle.

      Very best of luck.

  24. QUESTION:
    5 days before ovulation, could i get pregnant?
    i got my period 3/5/10 and had sex March 18th and 19th, i have an ovulation calendar and try different ovulation calculators and they say i should be most fertile on march 24th and i also read that sperm could live up to 3-5 days or 3-7 days. So my question is can i still get pregnant 5 days before ovulation? i really want another baby and i don't want to over due it with having intercourse so much because then i think about it too much and they say that can cause me not to get pregnant. So can someone please help me?

    • ANSWER:
      Thinking about it too much won't prevent you from getting pregnant. Try to have sex at least every other day and think about having a baby all the time and you'll be fine.

  25. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant 6 days before ovulation?
    This is long, but please read! It's very important.

    Before I add any detail, let me just say that I am 14 years old. I don't need your criticism or your judgments, because that's not what this question is about. I know that you should always use protection and all that, etc.
    And by the way, I'm not trying to get pregnant.

    Anyways, so my period is usually irregular, but my cycle is usually around 29-30 days long. A little longer than the average 28. I know ovulation is hard to predict, and that it differs with each woman, but when I plugged in my information into ovulation calculators/calendars, they said that my fertile days were sometime between the 11th and 18th of January, But that my ovulation date was the 15th or 16th. I had unprotected sex on the 10th late that night. He did not ejaculate inside of me, he pulled out, (yes I know that's not a very affective way of birth control) but he did have a lot of precum. We had sex, waited an hour, and had sex again. He urinated before the first time we had sex, and I've read that that can clear out any sperm left over from a previous ejaculation. But after the first time we had sex that day, he did not urinate before we had sex again. And like I said, there was a lot of precum. And I know precum can contain sperm.

    I would just like to know if any one has gotten pregnant from having sex 6 days before ovulation, or if anyone knows anyone who has. I've looked up a lot of things on the internet already, but I've had mixed answers about how long sperm can live inside a women, but mostly I read it's between 3 and 7 days.

    It's too soon to have any pregnancy symptoms, so I'm not exactly sure right now what my outcome will be.
    I know it's a very slim chance that I am, but I would just like to know if anyone has any insight.
    As soon as I am able to, I am going to take a pregnancy test just to make sure.

    Thanks for reading and thanks for any information you might have!

    • ANSWER:
      you are right, a lot of people will judge you, but its important you have this info. since you have irregular periods, you cant count on the predicting your ovulation days. you could ovulate the day after you end your period, it just depends on when your body starts the whole cycle of menstration. there is a possibility you could be pregnant, take plan b, it works, but a trick about knowing when you ovulate, just take one of those tests right in the middle of your next periods, and see if you are ovulating, then give yourself 4 days on both ends of that day each month, then i would say its safe to have unprotected sex, except of course stds, but you already should know that stuff. if you reallg dont want to get pregnant, go to any planned parenthood, or free clinic and you can get birth control and plan b for free...

  26. QUESTION:
    What does a lunar calendar have to do with my due date?
    I am a little confused. My husband is in the Army. He was gone from September until December 18th. I went to the doctors and found out that I am pregnant. They told me that I am 8 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I told them that was impossible because that would take me back to the week before he was actually home! I know that there is no way I got pregnant before December 18th. The doctor told me that they go by the date of my last period, but that cannot be accurate either because I went off the pill in August and had not gotten a period since then. They told me that my due date is September 13th 2011, I am so confused. I know I am coming up with only a 1 week difference from them, but it is still confusing. She told me that a woman is actually pregnant for 10 months and they go by a lunar calendar? Please help!

  27. QUESTION:
    SO we are trying to get pregnant, what do you guys think the chances are?
    So me and my fiance are trying to get pregnant. We have used the ovulation calendar to figure out the most fertile days to get pregnant. So my question is if we had sex on all those days including the ovulation day and the day after, what are the chances of her gettin pregnant? Are they good? :-)

    • ANSWER:
      According to my OB and all of the research I have done, a typically healthy couple with no fertility issues has a 25% chance of conceiving each month if they are timing intercourse to happen during the ovulation period. Statistically it also takes such a couple a year to conceive. So depending on how long you have been trying you have at least a 25% chance. I would say you did everything you could and if you continue to not get two pink lines after a year of TTC go to the OB. From personal experience I have noticed conception happens when you and your partner are not worried about TTC but having fun, it happens on the night you drink a bottle of wine and have crazy sex on the kitchen table not the scheduled nights of planned intercourse that result in your legs bringing propped up for an hour afterwards. Don't stress, that can cause you to miss a period and then you are in for a world of emotion letdown.

  28. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant having sex on the day of a positive opk?
    I had a positive opk today that i took around 3pm and had sex right after that. it was the only day available for us to try since my husband travels. is there any chance that i could get pregnant from that? i always get a positive opk the day my calendar says i will ovulate also. but i dont want to get my hopes up

    • ANSWER:
      Yes I'm sure you can get pregnant. After you receive a positive opk you should ovulate anywhere from 24-48 hours after. I got a positive opk on day 20 of my cycle, and ovulated on day 21. Husband and I BD on days 20 and 22 the day before and the day after ovulation and we didn't have any luck so I guess this time we're going to try everyday during ovulation. Good luck and baby dust!

    My girlfriend and I had intercourse the day after her period on November 1st. She started taking birth control pills around the time her period started. We didn't use any protection when he had sex and just pulled out, but then we did it again about 10 or 20 minutes later. A week later she started spotting very similar to what I've read about implantation bleeding. I looked at a menstral cycle calendar and it said if she didn't have her period by the 26th of this month she could be pregnant, and on the 26th she started feeling stomache cramps but not bleeding. She still hasn't started bleeding and is still feeling some stomache cramps. I told her I would buy a pregnancy test if she didn't start bleeding by today. I know it is rare to get pregnant from having intercourse the day after a period, but I also know younger girls are more fertile than older women and it is a possiblility. Has anyone experienced anything like this? She also thought it might have been an early period due to stress or something and due to the birth control possibly, but the bleeding was very light and a darker color than usual which is what implantation bleeding usually looks like. She also stopped taking the pill because of that, and we have had sex a few times after that, but I'm really thinking it's possible that I got her pregnant the day after her period, by the looks of things.

    • ANSWER:
      Anything is possible. First of all, if she was on the birth control for at least a week before you had unprotected sex, it is less likely. BUT... she stopped taking her pill and you have been having unprotected sex since. Then yeah. Are you trying to have a baby?

      The bleeding that you thought may have been implantation bleeding was most likely the normal spotting that comes along with starting birth control. How many pills has she missed?

  30. QUESTION:
    10.2 weeks pregnant doc says 6.5 weeks, baby but no heartbeat on vag ultra sound?
    the doctor says it could be an early miscarriage and that i will having bleeding and cramping. none yet. i know exactly when i got pregnant but doctor is saying im only 6 weeks 5 days pregnant. which makes no sense because that would have meant i took the three pregnancy tests at a week pregnant and they were positive.
    i want to know if a heartbeat at 10 weeks is really able to miss with a vag ultra sound. doesnt the heatbeat blink?
    what are the chances that everything will be ok and i will have this baby? is the doctor giving me false hope by saying that its 6 weeks and that its just may be too early to tell?
    i told the doctor i wasnt sure when my LMP was but i went home and looked on my calendar i'm exactly 10 weeks! please let me know the truth no beating around the bush.

    • ANSWER:
      More than likely, the baby stopped growing at 6.5 weeks. If there is no heartbeat, the liklihood of a miscarriage is pretty substantial. I had my first sonogram at 8 weeks pregnant. The sonogram showed 2 sacs. 1 with a fetus and the other was empty. The sac that was empty only measured 6 weeks, while the other is growing normally.
      Then again, you may have miscalculated. I would give it a week and go back for a second ultrasound. They may find a heartbeat...
      Good luck!

  31. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant if you have sex 3 days before ovulation?
    So me and my boyfriend had sex late saturday(Nov12.. I think I wuld consider it sunday due to it was past midnight) and it was unprotected and he did finish inside me. I start ovulating tomorrow according to this ovulation calendar that I use online. So my question is .. Is there a chance I will be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      YES, there is a very good chance, actually. The best chance to get pregnant is actually if you have sex a few days before the woman starts ovulating, which is exactly what you did.

  32. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant the day after you ovulate?
    According to a calendar, I ovulated Sept. 2nd. My hubby and I had sex the next day. Is there a good chance I could be pregnant? When could I test?

    • ANSWER:
      Maybe. An egg will live approximately 12 to 24 hours after it is released, and if sperm were introduced in this time period, there is a good chance that the egg could be fertilized. The exact time of ovulation can be difficult to pinpoint precisely unless you are doing charting with BBT and checking changes in your cervical fluid, but I will assume that you have a reason to believe that it occurred then. A fertilized egg will usually implant in the uterus between 6-12 days, and it usually takes a few days to begin producing hcg (the chemical that pregancy tests pick up), so you could potentially test anywhere between 8-14 days. It may be best to wait until you get closer to when you expect your period, as I'm sure you'll save some money and a bit of sanity by not testing too early. Many women do not even get positive results untill around 12 days after ovulation, so that would be my suggestion. Good luck!

  34. QUESTION:
    What are my chances in getting pregnant?
    Hey All!

    I've been ttc for about 6 months now, and we have been unsuccessful =[ So my ovulation days this month are 10th thru 15th. I had sex only three days of my ovulation days (the 11th, 12th, and 13th) The day my calendar says Im suppose to ovulate is on the 14th. I' ve been tryin so hard to get pregnant in the previous months and nothing happened...its just weird because i had my son within 4 months of trying.

    • ANSWER:
      Relax. You're doing everything right. A normal, fertile couple who has sex at the time of ovulation has only a 15-20% chance of getting pregnant, so it's normal for it to take 6-8 months or even longer. Your timing is fine -- just keep trying and don't stress. Good luck!

  35. QUESTION:
    can i be....could my days be off for ovulation...can you get pregnant on your period?

My boobs are heavy and some what sore when i take my bra off, i can sense they are sore when lay in bed on them too. But my concern is all i want to do is eat, like nothing is enough. My ovulations days on my calendar showed it should have been 11/2 - 11/4, and i did not have sex on these days, actually have not had sex since 10/19 but i had my period. Anyone every get pregnant on your period, or have messed up ovulation days? And if i did get pregnant during my period when will it show a positive test, since my next scheduled period is not until 11/17? So confused please help!! :)

    • ANSWER:
      I got pregnant during my period, the test did not show positive until about 5-6 weeks later.

  36. QUESTION:
    Conception date was 17 days after ovulation was SUPPOSED to occur .. ?
    I'm 15 weeks & 2 days pregnant. My LMP was Sept 18, 2008. Looking at the Ovulation Calendars, I was supposed to ovulate Oct 2nd or somewhere around there. I had sex on Oct 3rd w/ a condom on. My conception date has been calculated as October 19th & my boyfriend & I had a few bouts of unprotected sex then. That means sex around the 19th would have done it as opposed to the act we did on the 3rd w/ a condom on, correct?

    Sorry, I'm new at this. &, no, I have only been w/ my boyfriend. Just want to get this right bc I'm creating a baby book!

    TIA!
    I have PCOS, so that is more than likely the reason I conceived almost 3 weeks later.

    • ANSWER:
      You would have conceived around the 19th I would assume since it was unprotected.
      I was worried when I went the doc for the first time and they told me I was almost 2 weeks behind what I thought I should have been. The ultrasound put me at 6 weeks and my dates put me at almost 8 weeks. So we went by the ultrasound. Apparently I ovulated later than usual.
      Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck!! :)

      Do you track multiple indicators of fertility on your ovulation calendar? Sounds like you're picking the right time. If you're not observing cervical mucus, cervical position, or taking a daily temp, you could do that.

  39. QUESTION:
    Can u get pregnant the day after ovulation?
    Okay so I got online and looked up an ovulation calendar and it said that i ovulated on march 29 2011 but I took a first response ovulation test on march 30 2011 and the line was a little dark like almost the same color as the control line but not as dark so that night my husband and i had sex but we didn't have sex on the 29 the day the ovulation calendar said I ovulated so i'm confused so what i'm asking is can i still get pregnant the day after i ovulate? and is there a chance that the ovulation calendar was wrong since the ovulation test i took said i ovulated on the 30? I'm just so excited I want to know if i'm pregnant or not...lol!!!! please help need some answers!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      A couple things....the ovulation calendar on line is just a guess and estimate based on the average one, which to me is complete crazy...because there is no average we are all diffferent. So the calendar is not really that accurate, its can really just give u a round about date based on the information you put in.

      Also, I'm not sure if you are saying the test line was actually darker than the control line. You are saying is was ALMOST as dark...which is not a positive it has to be positively AS DARK OR DARKER. Did you continue to test to after the test you took on the 30th....it seems like maybe you were well on your way. ...

      Either way you should be having sex on more than just the day you get the positive ( or the possible positive) to increase your chances...you should be having sex every other day after your period ends up until 2 or days after you ovulated...so hopefully you had sex more than just that one day...

      Good Luck!

    Hi, I woke up today with very sore/tender breasts and I checked my calendar. I`m not due for my period for 15 days.

Days Of Menstrual Cycle To Get Pregnant

Short Menstrual Cycle and Fertility
A Short Menstrual Cycle is when your period comes earlier than day 25, or so. The cycle is counted from the first day of bleeding until you see it again.

Fertility can be affected if your cycle is too short. This is because it can shorten the number of days before Ovulation, when the egg is developing into a Folicle.

You can figure out when ovulation might be using a very rough formula. Ovulation typically occurs 2 weeks before the period comes.

On a 28 day cycle, a woman would ovulate on day 14. That's 14 days before her period. She may have signs of Ovulation starting on day 12 or 13 too.

Changes like Vaginal discharge getting clear and stringy and more abundant. Feeling achy on the sides of the lower abdomen.

This is called the Folicular Phase. A Folicle is the egg you were born with a bubble of fluid around it.

Think of a chicken egg. In fact, imagine breaking open an egg. The clear runny stuff is what a woman's vaginal discharge at the time of Ovulation looks! Clear, Runny, Muccous-like, stringy...And Hopefully profuse.

A Super Herb I use to regulate/lengthen the cycle is (Chaste Berries)Vitex Agnus Castus . This really reliably will lengthen the average cycle from a few days to a week or more. A Tincture is best. To get solid results, take: 1/2-1 Teaspoon 3X Day ...day in and day out for 1-3 months.

It is the Best Menstrual Regulator that I have solidly used for many years in my practice. Even in cases where the period was coming every 2 weeks it really normalized the situation within 1 to 3 months.

Losing blood too often, through short periods, can be weakening and leave you blood deficient. A period that's too heavy can do this too. Good herbs to stop excess bleeding are Shepherd's Purse(Capsella Bursa Pastoralis), Agrimony, Yarrow, and even Hammamalis for severe Bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    What are the most fertile days to get pregnant during your menstrual cycle?
    My gf and I had sex on the 16th day of her menstrual cycle and the condom came off during sex and i didn't feel it. Now we discovered the problem before i got off but what is the probability that she has been fertilized?

    • ANSWER:
      one week after her menstral period she will ovulate one of those days, so try that whole week.

  2. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant 5 days into you menstrual cycle?
    OK the 1st day of my last menses was 8-23-06. 5 days into my cycle eventhough ther was very light bleeding my husband and I had unprotected sex ( But this is not the first time we have done this) I peed right away. the sunday of the 3rd I started to have pain in my ovaries. Then on monday I notice that I was having a pinkish brown d/c like if I was going to have a cycle. Is it possible that I may have gotten pregnat during the 5th day of having my period. I am going to give it some time. so girls what do you think. Thanks for your answers
    The second time was a couple of days later we protected ourselves/

    • ANSWER:
      yep

  3. QUESTION:
    ejaculation occured 8 days after menstrual cycle started..pregnant?
    my boyfriend accidentally ejaculated inside of me 8 days after the start of my period i ovulated(i think) about 4 days after that happened? could the sperm still be able to reach an egg 4 days after ejaculation? could i be pregnant? my boyfriend smokes a lot of pot if that effeccts it. i could not afford the morning after pill withink the 5 days it is said to be effective. what should i do? how great is the chance i get pregannt?

    • ANSWER:
      You have a fertile window of up to 6 days. The sperm can live inside your reproductive organs for 3 to 5 days. After ovulation you have 12 to 24 hours until the egg dies. So it is very likely that you could have conceived.

      The morning after pill only works within 72 hours. Weed affects fertility... but it isn't a huge factor. Take a test.

  4. QUESTION:
    which time of the menstrual cycle we get pregnant? which days are the days of fertility?
    I want to know, which days a condom is essential and which days safer.(if involved in a long term committed relationship).

    • ANSWER:
      First, I can't stress how important it is for you/your partner to wear a condom. Unprotected sex involves more than just unwanted pregnancy. Disease. Death. Serious things like this.

      Second, it really differs from woman to woman.

      If you're looking for the law of averages, a woman is more fertile between the 12th and 16th day of her cycle.

      If you go to this website: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970115

      You can actually calculate when your window of opportunity is (and isn't).

    btw the 8th day is 8 days after my period started, but my period had stopped by the time we has sex, and i have a 28 day cycle

    • ANSWER:
      you can get pregnant at any time, including during your period.
      you are most likely to get pregnant around day 14,
      but i'd take the morning after pill, as i dont think pregnancy is worth the risk.

  8. QUESTION:
    is it possible to get pregnant on day 6 of menstrual cycle?
    i know the best chances of getting pregnant are mid-cycle (ovulation) but because i was sick my husband and i last had sex 2 weeks ago and now i'm feeling pms-like symptoms but worse then i've ever had them before and some new ones.

    is it possible to get pregnant on day 6 of my menstrual cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Most women have been taught that ovulation occurs on day fourteen of their cycle. Armed with this, women have intercourse around this day, and avoid intercourse if they wish to avoid pregnancy. Why, then, are so many women not conceiving, when they thought they should be? And why are so many other women conceiving, when they avoid intercourse on the day they thought their ovulation day?

      Ovulation occurring on day is a myth.

      Ovulation can occur as early as day six, and much later than day fourteen. There are many factors involved in the timing of ovulation: Hormones, Stress, Your Health

      Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone are the hormones of the female reproductive cycle. Any imbalance in these hormones can impede or prevent ovulation. Follicle stimulating hormone

      The first hormone to appear in a woman's cycle is FSH. FSH begins its peak production at the beginning of the cycle - while the uterus is shedding its lining. FSH prompts a woman's ovaries to produce about 15 to 20 mature eggs. Each of these eggs are encased in its own follicle. These follicles then produce estrogen.

      Estrogen

      Estrogen begins surging through the body roughly three or more days before ovulation. This causes the cervical fluid to be clear, thin and stretchy*. This type of cervical fluid is referred to as egg-white cervical mucus" or "ewcm. EWCM offers the best mode of travel for the sperm to get to the egg.

      The high levels of estrogen prompts the release of luteinizing hormone (LH). The surge of LH causes the egg to actually come out of its follicle. The time period from which ovulation occurs and a woman's menstruation is called the luteal phase (LP). The average length of time during LP is 12 to 16 days long. The LP, however, can be longer or shorter. An LP shorter than 10 days is considered deficient in progesterone, and is unable to maintain a pregnancy. There are measures to increase the LP, such as hormone therapy and/or herbal and vitamin supplements. No matter what day a woman ovulates, she can always tell approximately what day her menstrual cycle will begin, or what day to take a pregnancy test.

      With the collapse of the follicle, a corpus luteum forms

    the starting date of my period was 17th and lasted for 6 days and had sex on 25th,now its 20th n i did not got my periods yesterday when i checked my vaginal part in morning found some stains of blood as use to have on end days of my periods but after that till today nothing happened even those blood stains gone now its all clear inside..some heaviness i m feeling in the lower abdomen but no signs of having periods..
    please help some one i don't wanna get pregnant and if its pregnancy then please tell me what can i do other than abortion...help please

    • ANSWER:
      You are probably not, but more importantly why are you not using protection, you know, like condoms. You don't just have to worry about pregnancy girl, you have to worry about HIV/Aids. If you boyfriend doesn't want to use protection then you need to be especially careful because that means he has been having unprotected sex with others, too. This means he is more likely to be carrying the virus.

      Back to your question. Stress can keep you from having your period. Buy you a pregnancy test and use it. It will relieve your mind. Cost about to . Don't put it in your home garbage can where your mother will see it and freak out.

      If for some reason your are pregnant there is only one option besides abortion and that is have and raise the baby.

      Remember that is why sex is an adult game. We know how to protect ourselves, have the money to do so, and can handle the consequences.

      I really don't feel you are pregnant if you had sex when you said you did, but you need to get on birth control pills and buy some condoms to protect you from aids..

      Good luck to you.

  11. QUESTION:
    can a woman get pregnant during menstrual cycle? what are the chances?
    it was the 3rd day of her menstrual cycle and we had sexual intercourse. i was using a condom but i did not realize that the condom broke so i came inside of her. what are the chances that she will get pregnant? does she need to get on birth control pills to avoid it? what can be the early signs that we can notice if she gets pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Hi..

      If she has in and around a 28 day cycle, the chances of having sex during a period and getting pregnant are extremely slim to none.
      If your both still concerned and it happened within the last 3 days she could still take the "morning after pill".

      Hope she's ok.

  12. QUESTION:
    Is the 9th day of the menstrual cycle safe and one cannot get pregnant?
    If one have sex on the 9th day of the menstrual cycle,what chance is likely for that woman to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      You could get pregnant. Even if you ovulate on/around day 14, having sex on day 9 could get you pregnant because the sperm could survive until ovulation. There really is no "Safe" time to have unprotected sex if you don't want to get pregnant because women have gotten pregnant at all different points in their cycle. Sometimes women ovulate sooner/later than they expect and it makes it impossible to time unprotected sex properly to avoid pregnancy.

  14. QUESTION:
    Menstrual Cycle While Pregnant?!?
    Has anyone experienced what they have thought to be their normal menstrual cycle, but found out later that you were pregnant? If so, (this may get graphic if some explain in detail) can you explain whether or not if your cycle seemed the same or was there something different about it. Like the amount of days, if the flow was heavy or light, etc. I've heard that some woman can be pregnant and still menstrate regularly all the way up until there 7th month of pregnancy (not spotting, actual cycle). I've also heard that when some woman become pregnant and not know, that there cycle gets heavy for a day or so and then light, and then there cycle is over (2 - 3 day cycle). Any info would be appreciated. Ecspecially info from woman who have been through this. Thanks!!!!
    If you experienced this "normal period" while pregnant, was there cramping? If so was it mild, light, heavy.

    • ANSWER:
      When I got pregnant with my first, the first thing that happened was: I would eat dinner and then go get sick. Happened a couple of times. Then I got what seemed to be a normal period, but a day shorter and a little lighter Then a couple of weeks later, light spotting of pink for 2 or 3 days. My grandma had a period for 6 months with my uncle!

  15. QUESTION:

  16. QUESTION:
    Menstrual cycle 32 days is it normal or is she pregnant?
    Me and my girlfriend are sexually active and she tells me that she hasn't had her period (which is usually 28 days...but she has been having some diet problems). None of the contraception's (condoms) we used broke or anything but im just worried because its apparently 4 days late (32 days) and im not sure if its normal. She tells me her cycle changes sometimes but I really am not ready to have a child and I am freaking out.

    The only things that I think why it would change would be because of 1) Diet 2) Taking new medication recently 3) shes pregnant....(hopefully not)

    i said i will get a pregnancy test but she doesnt want me to because shes scared to see if its positive.

    Can i have anyones opnions or life stories to tell me that I might just be over reacting or its normal?

    • ANSWER:
      menstrual cycles do change and are especially altered due to a change in diet and new medications. with the use of condoms the chance of pregnancy is less than 3% with a 14% chance with improper use. it is only 4 days. wait another few days or about 2 weeks and if she doesn't start by then, then it is worth getting a test just to make sure.

  17. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant on day 13 and 15 of your menstrual cycle?
    I had intercourse on the 13th and the 15th of my my menstrual cycle,i wanted to know if there is a possibility that im pregnant.on both days we didnt use any protection.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes it is possible, ovulation happens approximately 14 days before the next menstrual period. As ovulation approaches, your chances of getting pregnant will increase.

      Example 28 day cycle:
      May - 01 - 07 - First day of your cycle
      May - 12 - 07 - A little bit fertile
      May - 13 - 07 - Fertile
      May - 14 - 07 - VERY fertile at this time
      May - 15 - 07 - Time to ovulate
      May - 29 - 07 - End of cycle

  18. QUESTION:
    is it possible for a woman to get pregnant the day after her menstrual cycle goes off?
    another question...plz answer both...

    what are the chances of a woman getting pregnant from pre cum?

    • ANSWER:
      it is possible to get pregnant at ANY time. all women ovulate at different times, so therefore during, right after, or 20 days after you are able to get pregnant. the general rule is, 14 days after the start of your period...but like i said every female is different, as well as every cycle.

      & yes precum is fertile. It is possible, but unlikely or more so a slim chance.

  19. QUESTION:
    Is a women more likely to get pregnant right before her menstrual cycle or after?
    If a women had sex a 1 or 2 days before her cycle and then had sex on the last day of her cycle and still had spotting. Would she have gotten pregnant before the cycle or after???

    • ANSWER:
      A woman is fertile during the middle of her cycle. So, about a week and a half to 2 weeks after her period she can get preggo. You will not get preggo having sex a few days before your period. You would have already ovulated by then. Most women are not fertile right after their period unless they have really short cycles (less than 21 days).

  20. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant on the 23rd day of your menstrual cycle?
    its the 23rd day and my period usually comes on the 29th (which i then count back from day 1). is it still possible to get pregnant? and is there any way to prevent it even if i do?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. Its technically possible to get pregnant. ovulation can change and vary every month. just depends. i would say, most likely this late in your cycle, you probably wouldn't get pregnant, but you still want to use back up protection just to be safe. if you already had sex and your worried, you can get the plan b pill. you can take it up to 3 days after sex and its very effective.

  21. QUESTION:
    My doctor says I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant. I haven't had a menstrual cycle since December.?
    So my question is to anyone with experience with being pregnant. I went to the doctor and they confirmed I was indeed pregnant. The want problem is there is really no way to tell when I conceived. The doctor wants me to come back weekly to get my levels checked to make sure they are going up like they should.

    The doctor also says that I may of had an early miscarriage but I took pregnancy test every month since December and I just got a positive on Monday of this week. Does anyone think I may of had an early miscarriage or I just got pregnant and I am just so early that its hard to tell right now.

    Thanks

  22. QUESTION:
    Is it likely to get pregnant straight after menstrual cycle?
    If you have sex very soon after the menstrual cycle has finished, I.E. one day. What is the likelihood of becoming pregnant compared to the middle of the month?

    • ANSWER:
      You essentially only have a small opportunity to become pregnant and that is during ovulation. However sperm can live for days, which is what increases the risk. Right after your period has finished is probably the worst time because that is when the uterus lining in the thinnest and you're most likely to become pregnant.

  23. QUESTION:
    can your menstrual cycle effect chances of gettin pregnant?
    I have a 40 day cycle.
    I have been trying for quite a while already and have yet to be successful; although,
    I havent had a period since July 3rd but I've tested twice since then and both negative so im guessin im not prego.
    i just want to know if my cycle is effecting my chances of getting prego since my cycle is so long.

    • ANSWER:
      it took me 19months to get pregnany with irregular cycles. once in a while would have a shorter cycle around 34 days and the average was 42 to 45 days and the longest was 58 days. It made it very hard. I also learned after getting pregnant that my uterus is slightly tilted. So the fact that when we finally conceived One reason: He cam in me from a behind position made tons of sense! me cervix faced the front of me during ovulation, making doggy style perfect!

      Also I tried a low carb diet the month I got pregnant and just like with my shortest cycles I noticed sore nipples early on a few weeks before my period which in my mind I made the connection must be some sort of ovulation symptom, turns out I was right.

      I would say if you usually have 40 day cycles try to bd at least 3 times a week in various positions. and look for your bodies own signs of ovulation, like heavy mucus discharge or sore nipples. Maybe try some low carb food and enjoy doggy style or something with the same concept. could do the trick.

    • ANSWER:
      Hi There

      I think the best thing for you to do if you are trying to conceive is to see your doctor and get your cycle checked out properly. To make sure all is working fine, as a irregular period could have loads of meaning.
      I for example had irregular periods and got it checked out as we were and are trying to conceive and they found out that i have pcos and that therefore my period is irregular and i do not ovulate and without that happening we all know you wont get pregnant. I am now in treatment and being helped to conceive.
      I hope it all works out for you and you get your problem resolved, but make sure you get it checked to find out whats wrong cause the longer you wait i am not sure how old you are but my clock is ticking and the sooner you find out the sooner you can get something done to about it.

  27. QUESTION:
    What is a 'regular' menstrual cycle? Does in influence the chances of getting pregnant?
    My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, and I just reviewed my menstrual cycle and I see that I get my period every 24 to 31 days, and it usually last 5 to 7 days. Is this what doctors call an irregular cycle? I have not missed a period (been over 31 days) in at least a year.
    If so, does it impact the chance I will not get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      How long it lasts does not matter. Having it every 24-31 days is 'normal'. Abnormal is if it's once every 2 months. THat would mean you'd be ovulating less often and can get pregnant less likely. The fact that you're not completely like 'clockwork', meaning exactly every 28 days, does not matter. You'll actually even be more likely to get pregnant because you're ovulating more often than some other people in a given year. What you have is not an irregular cycle. It's normal enough if it's within a week difference from month to month. What it does make it more difficult to do is to GUESS when you're ovulating. So you'll need to use ovulation tests. Even people with perfectly consistent ovulation should use them if they want to get pregnant quickly. Good luck!!!!@ My best advice is to have lots (daily) of sex a few days after your period starts for 16 days. It sounds like a lot, but remember that sperm can sometimes live an entire week inside you. You ovulate at the earliest 10 days after your period starts or as much as 17 days after your period starts (based on how far apart your periods are that you say).

  28. QUESTION:
    30 day menstrual period cycle? or maybe pregnant?
    Ok so the last time i had sexual intercourse was on dec 9 (i used a condom n from wat i know of it didnt break)...i got my period dec. 25 n it went away jan1... then i got it again jan 31 n it went away feb 6. After that i've had no periods. I went to the GYN n she said i shouldnt need a test. But im unsure because some females do get their periods while being pregnant. I dont think im pregnant but idk y i havent gotten my period as of yet... n theres no sign of it either.

    • ANSWER:
      you're not pregnant.

      no one gets a period while pregnant. some women experience bleedng, which they MISTAKE for a period. but you've had two real periods. you are not pregnant!

  29. QUESTION:
    Can you go from regular to irregular with your menstrual cycle? (Possibly pregnant)?
    I was curious, maybe hoping lol, if it was possible. I've always been a 21-22 day cycle girl. I last had my period on the 2nd to the 9th of Aug and I should have gotten my period on the 31st (yesterday for me). Yes I know I could be pregnant but we have been using protection (condoms) everytime since we just had our second daughter in March. Both our daughters weren't surprises since we were a bit "sloppy" with protection and I knew I was pregnant when my period didn't come on the day it should have. This one, if we are, is just a bit more surprising since we've been using protection. I will be taking a pregnancy test this week but thought I'd ask now just to see. Also wanted to know for those who are more regular, how many days late have you ever been (if there's been a time you where) when you period showed up?

    If we are, we are. If we ain't, IUD here I come :P

    • ANSWER:

  30. QUESTION:
    When during a woman's menstrual cycle are the chances higher for getting pregnant?
    I started having on and off light brown spotting on June 3rd and 4th. It stopped on June 5th. June 6th - 8th I bled lightly and then the morning of the 9th I started bleeding heavy, its moderate to heavy now. Just wondering when the best time would be to conceive?

    I cant figure out what Cycle day I would be on. I know most women Ovulate around the 14th day of their cycle, just wondered if you can pregnant at anytime?
    I started having red flow on June 6th lightly. It came and went. Not until June 9th early morning hours... did it start to come all the time. Red-Dark Red in color.

    • ANSWER:
      There is a low chance that you can get pregnant during your menstrual cycle. If you have very short cycles then there is a chance you may ovulate right at the end of your period but that is only if you have short cycles. There is always a change but the chances are slim.

  31. QUESTION:
    I have a 58 day menstrual cycle, how do I calculate ovulation?
    I have a 59 day menstrual cycle due to a right sided salpingectomy(removal of fallopian tube) for a late stage ectopic pregnancy.I want to regulate my periods so I can begin fertility planning. I know that it will be more difficult to get pregnant but I still ovulate and have no uterine abnormalities or scarring so I know it is still possible. What's the next step?

    • ANSWER:
      You could use ovulation predictors, sure, but you will end up spending a lot of money on them, since it sounds like you really don't have any idea when in your cycles you're ovulating, and so you'd have to use many tests to find out. Personally, I prefer charting your cycles, and recommend doing that -- ovulation predictor kits don't work for everyone, some people find them confusing to read, and I just think you're better off knowing how to read the signs your body is giving you yourself (admittedly, that's a bias of mine; many many women use and love the ovulation predictors).

      Here's what I recommend: take a look at the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler, and/or visit the forums on the website http://www.tcoyf.com (the women there are very very helpful, there's a lot of very useful FAQs, the boards are very busy so you'll generally have a lot of responses, quickly, if you have a question, etc.)

      You say you have a 58 or 59 day cycle -- it's long, but if you know that's what it is, and that's (approximately) what it always is, there's no need to try and regulate it. Just a need to determine when your most fertile time is during those cycles. If you are ovulating regularly then your chances of conceiving shouldn't be reduced -- it's just that you have fewer opportunities to conceive than a women with a 28 day cycle, because you ovulate less frequently.

      Here's what I would do: go to the drugstore and buy a basal body thermometer (they're more sensitive than regular thermometers). Start to take your basal body temperature every morning: at the same time every morning, before you get out of bed/reach for that glass of water/talk/move, take your temperature. Your temperature should spike following ovulation -- in some women the rise occurs the next day, in some women it doesn't occur until a couple of days afterwards; in many (I think most) women, the temperature will dip before ovulation, so it will give you a heads-up, as it were.

      In addition: check the quality of your cervical fluid daily, at least once a day. When your body is gearing up to ovulate, it will usually have an "egg white" like quality. (In some women, it will get creamy, but never get to be like "egg white".)

      Last but not least: if you can, and if you're comfortable, check your cervix daily to feel if it's high/low, soft/hard, and open/closed. Not all women can or want to do that, and in my experience it is not necessary at all for charting, but it is an additional piece of data that can be helpful if it's possible/convenient/palatable.

      So, that's what I would do. Starting with the book and/or website, because you'll find in either/both of those places much more detail about your cycle, and, on the website, you'll also find many women in similar circumstances as yours, who have longer than average cycles and are trying to conceive, or who have successfully conceived and are well on the way to having a baby.

      I'm sorry about your previous ectopic -- I hope you have a healthy, happy pregnancy soon! Good luck.

  32. QUESTION:
    On day 74 of menstrual cycle- no period-not pregnant...HELP..could I have PCOS?
    My husband and I are ttc and have been trying since april 2007. Ever since I went off the pill in April my cycle lengths have been progressively getting longer each cycle. Last cycle was 50 days long and now this cycle I'm on day 74...have not gotten my period...and have taken two pregnancy tests, both of which turned out to be negative with no pregnancy symptoms at all! I have seen my doctor regarding my cycle lengths and she has assured me that this is normal? She wants me to do some blood work but is not concerned? I am however very concerned. My husband and I have slowed down on actively trying for a baby and have turned our focus on my current issues with my irregular cycles.
    Could I possibly have poly-cystic ovarian syndrome? I was able to get pregnant two years ago but lost the baby and did not start really trying again until this year due to being in university full time.
    Please help if you have had a similar situation. My doctor sent me to an obgyn but she was not very helpful and I don't feel like I am getting anywhere with my doctor but i don't think this is normal???
    thanks so much! It helps to know that I'm not the only one out there dealing with this! I was on the pill for 9 years! My doctor has assured me that the pill does not give you irregular periods though (seriously considering getting a new doctor!). She has suggested taking something to "jump start" my periods but I just got off the pill and wanted to do this naturally without having any more chemicals in my body but this doesn't seem to be getting any better and I might have to see what my dr. can suggest taking.
    No I have not gotten any tests to see if my tubes are clear. I will suggest that when I go to see my doctor this thursday- thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Hello! I just want to let u know when my hubby and i decided to ttc i went off of the pill and had the same thing happen my cycles were getting longer and longer.

    I have a 9 month old baby boy, and yes I actually am nervous to get pregnant again because I got pregnant so easily the first time , and I'm not ready for another child, but I guess it's in God's hands. :)

    • ANSWER:
      PREGNANT/PREGNANCY This can point to the development of a new approach to life, a new project you are creating, a new outlet of expression, or new faculty.

      If you are pregnant when you dream this, don't be too worried by anxiety dreams about the baby. Virtually all women have them. Only get worried if they persist. A scan can quickly see if you are anxious or intuitive. See: pregnancy and dreams, and your dream baby for a longer description.

      But if you are not pregnant, or even if you are a man dreaming this, is it usually about a new area of your potential or personality developing; a deepening relationship with your potential is producing a new area of experience, a new talent or facet of your personality. It is still unborn - i.e. not yet expressed outwardly - but it is developing. It can also showm in the drama of the dream, how you are bringing to birth a new scheme or creative idea is 'hatching'.

      In a woman's dream: May refer to desire for a child; fear of being pregnant - i.e. in a relationship but not wanting to be pregnant. For a woman being pregnant may depict what is resulting from a relationship with a man she has become deeply involved with. The following example illustrates this.

      Example: I dreamt I was pregnant and was certain the father was a man I feel a lot of love for. However as I was dreaming I realised he had a vasectomy so couldn?t be the father. This caused me to feel great uncertainy and I was questioning who the father could be as I hadn?t been with anyone else. Also I realised the pregnancy lasted 11 months and the baby was due. Angela.

      Angela felt a great connection with a man who had told her he could never be her partner, and although good friends, had pulled away from any sexual contact. This caused great confusion in Angela because she had got a lot from the relationship, shown by the pregnancy. The confusion as to who the father was probably depicts her search for a man who could help her ?give birth? to the new and positive direction in life that had arisen from the current but platonic relationship.

      If pregnant at time of dream: If physically pregnant, then it most often refers to this, and the fears, hopes, attitudes, desires, ideas and physical condition regarding it. Carolyn Winget and Frederic Kapp researched on the dreams of 70 pregnant women. Those women whose dreams included a high percentage of anxiety themes were the ones who delivered their babies in the shortest time - less than ten hours. The conclusion was that by allowing feelings of anxiety in our dreams we are less influenced by anxiety in waking, and we can deal with situations more confidently. Someone else pregnant in dream: An aspect of oneself about to bring forth new characteristics; an intuition about that person. See: Example under girl; cave; third example under penis in body

    If you have sex on the last day of a 5 day period (very light. brown discharge/bleeding) and he pulled out but still got some inside of you, what are the chances of becoming pregnant? 1 day later I had thick white discharge.

    I cant take the morning after pill, it's too late.
    can anyone give me %?

    • ANSWER:
      TO be honest these questions scare me becuase regardless of all the speculation, the best way to b sure is to get a pregnancy test or go to your doctor. i am 20 and a single mom. i didnt know i was pregnant cause i was still having what i thought was to b a period. the doctors keep teh information, even your decision confidental; so if under 18 parents wont know. and if your vaginal areas is showing any form of signs of "cleaning it self out" you need to go get test for stds. moreover, get tested. its private , accurate and the safest bet

  40. QUESTION:
    Odds of getting pregnant with possible menstrual cycle delay & protected sex?
    This is a bit long winded, but I want to get as much details in. My boyfriend and I practice safe sex every time, so I am very worried by the current developments.

    I am 30 and my menstrual cycle has been fairly consistent except for one time when I was 18 where I missed a month. My cycle is has been 26 - 31 days.

    On the 18th day of the current cycle, I had sex with my boyfriend (closer to supposed ovulation), protected, no ejaculation, did not check condom. I remember once he got the condom on the wrong side when he was trying to wear it. He flipped it over to wear it. I wasn’t sure if he had wipe his p**** before he wore it. That bothers me, if there was pre-c*m on it.

    On the 21st day, I had protected sex with my boyfriend who wore a condom. He pulled out and did not ejaculate inside. After removing the condom, he wiped his hands with baby wipes and played with my clitoris. He did not put his fingers inside the vagina as he was cautious that he did not wash his hands with soap. We did not check the condom after it was taken out.

    Usually that's quite safe. But for this time around I have been having watery discharge from 20th - 22nd day. Some say it could be ovulation and the most fertile time to get conceived.

    On the 24th day, we had protected sex again. This time he ejaculated inside the condom. We checked the condom and there was no breakage. Hours after the sex, a droplet of blood stained my panties. At first I thought it was the beginning of my cycle. 6 days have since passed and I have not gotten my period!

    I later read that the droplet could be implantation bleeding. If implantation takes 6 – 12 days, it would have been about 6 days pass when I get the droplet.

    We had sex on the 27th day, again also protected sex. This time no ejaculation. We checked the condom, there was no breakage.

    On the 28th day, I suddenly lost appetite to eat and threw up several times. Some say this could be early pregnancy symptoms. I lost sleep the whole night.

    On the 29th day, I still threw up even though I consumed nothing. I felt like urinating frequently. Also due to throwing up, I feel like I need to drink constantly as I have some toxic in the kidneys and doctor advised me to drink more often. I have yet to test myself with a pregnancy kit because I think it's best to use until the 31st day at least, which is the first day of a missed period for my longest cycle.

    Main questions:

    1.I am wondering if the watery discharge meant a delay in my cycle?
    2.Could pre-c*m stick on the condom when wore on the wrong side and flipped over again? Would pre-c*m like this potent?
    3.Is the possibility of getting pregnant under these circumstances high?

  41. QUESTION:
    I had unprotected sex on the 21st day of my cycle. Could i be pregnant?
    My usual menstrual cycle is about 32 days although it varies from 28 days (this has only happened once in years) to 37 days (this has happened a few times). I heard that once a girl has ovulated she can no longer get pregnant from unprotected sex unitl she next ovulates. I cannot have been ovulating so late in my cycle so does this mean I can't be pregnant?
    Also what is the percentage chance of getting pregnant from having unprotected sex at this time of the menstrual cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      There are many myths about when you can get pregnant during your cycle, and when it is 'safe'.

      The answer is simple, you can become pregnant at any time during your cycle, although the odds vary depending on the time.

    I have a 30 day- menstrual cycle. i started microgynon 30 on my 3rd day and had unprotected sex on my 7th & 8th day. i read a lot about the safe days and although it was a bit confusing, with some calculations i found out that the 7th day was a safe day.
    can someone plz tell me if the 7th & 8th are safe days? and if microgynon 30 is affective enough after 4 days of starting to take it?

  44. QUESTION:
    what days are women most likely to get pregnant in a typical 28 day cycle?
    Which days following the beginning of the menstrual period is the possibility of pregnancy likely to be the highest?

    days 0 to 5
    days 6 to 10
    days 11-15
    days 16-20
    days 21-25

    • ANSWER:
      Days 11-20
      Sperm can hang around for a while in the fallopian tube (where conception actually takes place).
      So if the sperm are already there, and an egg shoots in, conception can occur.
      If the egg is already in the fallopian tube and sperm come up to greet it, conception can occur. It takes about 7 days for the egg to travel down the tube into the uterus. After the egg reaches the uterus, chances of conception are dramatically decrease.
      In a 28 day cycle, ovulation would occur on day 14ish. Ovulation occurs approx. 14 days before the start of your period. So if you have a 30 day cycle, ovulation would be on approx. day 16.
      But very few women actually have a 28 day cycle. This is why you track your periods. Once you see a pattern and know how many days long your cycle is, then you count back 14 days from the first day of your period and that's the day you would have ovulated. And you'll know approximately when you need to have sex. On days 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 if you have a 29 day cycle. Some professionals believe that you need to have sex every other day in order to build up a good sperm supply. Some don't hold to that belief, and think that every day is ok.
      Good luck

  45. QUESTION:
    No condom, pulled out, on birth control, and 5 days before menstrual cycle...?
    So basically my girlfriend and I had sex without a condom. Shes on birth control and I pulled out (not that that counts for much of anything.) Shes also 5 days away from having her period, not that that counts for much either. So what kind of situation do you guys think Im looking at? Btw when they say birth control is 99.9% effective is that to say one 1 out of a hundred women get pregnant even when using birth control?

    • ANSWER:
      Birth control is highly effective. But your girlfriend needs to take the pill at a certain time every day, and if she does that, then her birth control will be highly effective, but if she's not too responsible with her birth control, then it will be much less effective. And there is a thing called pre-cum, but it takes a lot of pre-cum to get a girl pregnant. All you have to do is really calm down and wait for your girlfriend's period to come around. The worst you can do is make her scared or stressed out about it because stress will make girl's periods come later. I was in the same situation you were once (except I was the girl in the situation) and I got really stressed out and scared because I missed my period and since I was so stressed out, I didn't get my period for 2 weeks. Fortunately, I got it after those 2 weeks, but still, stressing out about it is not good.

Days Of Fertility

How Using an Ovulation Fertility Monitor Can Increase Your Chance of Pregnancy
When I first started trying to get pregnant last year, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I thought that just keeping track of my most fertile days of my menstrual cycle was enough. I'd never even heard of an ovulation fertility monitor before.

Boy, was I wrong.

It turns out, my cycle is somewhat irregular, so my hormones don't peak when I expect them to. I was way off on my Peak Fertility calculations.

So I started doing a little bit of research on the Internet. Actually, I did a lot of research. And I found out a lot more about getting pregnant with an irregular cycle than I realized even existed.

I got in touch with a mother of four children (I figured, hey, she's obviously had success!) who told me how she had gotten pregnant so many times with her irregular cycle.
Do you want to know her secret?

She used an ovulation fertility monitor.

Unlike a pregnancy test, which only tells you if you're pregnant, an ovulation fertility monitor helps you keep track of your high fertility and peak fertility days during your menstrual cycle.

So I decided hey, it can't hurt to try one myself. After all, I was at my wit's end trying to get pregnant for eight or nine months. Enough was enough - I obviously needed some help.

So I ordered an ovulation fertility monitor from Amazon for about 0. The minute it arrived in the mail, I gave it a try. Five minutes later, I got an accurate reading on my estrogen and Luteinizing Hormone levels. According to the ovulation fertility monitor, I should start trying to pregnant in just two days.

I followed the ovulation fertility monitor's readings to a "t." I feared I wouldn't have any success.

But then about three weeks later, I noticed a few changes in my body. Nothing serious, just something a little subtle. I took a pregnancy test and "Voila!" I was pregnant!

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    I had a first period of menstruation on the 16th of june how will I know when is 14 days fertility period?
    when will be my 14 days fertility period .how will I count it , because I started my fist period on the 16th day of june

    • ANSWER:
      As a PARENT
      Please, my child, don't ponder over the fertile period now. Don't try to be a superwoman, PRE MATURELY. You still have a long way, before you could involve yourself in the conjugal life.
      For the time being, please concentrate on your studies and then your carrier. Once, you can stand on your own feet, think of the conjugal family. Sorry, I am not trying to be nasty, it is my humble advice. You wanted to take it or leave it - your choice.

      As a FAMILY PHYSICIAN
      Now, to your own BURNING question -
      - The fertile period of 14th day of the cycle DON'T HOLD TRUTH for you or your aged.
      Ovulation don't occur regulargly till late teenage, hence these young menstruating teenagers
      don't have regular menstrual cycle.
      It is God's way of telling these people, that are still a kid.
      Therefore, they should not do things of a woman or even pretend to be a women.

Cud somebody tell me is eating nuts, papayas and chocolates and drinking coffee hinder in the conception or early pregnancy process, and if yes then why and how? and what are the do's and dont's of pregnancy.

    my bf and i had sex two weeks ago during one of my high fertility days and we used the "pull out method?
    I was supposed to start my period yesterday and didn't. So I took a preggo test this morning. It said negative. I've been sneezin n hiccuping like crazy and never hungry. Can't seem to get enough sleep. I feel very impatient about this! =) wanna know badly could I still be pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Its too soon for a pregnancy test. But remember its a 28 days month in Febrarury, could it be that you are expecting your periods in 2 more days? Pull out method is pretty safe. I have been using it since last 2 years now! I havent got pregnant even once. Your periods might be delayed because of tension. The more you get tensed the later they are. Just hang in there for 1 week. Take a test after a wek and see the results. Good luck!

  13. QUESTION:
    How did May Day go from being celebrated as start of longer/warmer days and fertility/growth to Workers Day?
    Early May Day that predates Christianity and would become an important widespread holiday in the Middle Ages was about ushering in the Summer. Celebrated with such traditions as May Pole, gathering flowers and branches (greenery) Morris Dancers and Crowning of May Queen.

    To an international Labor Day celebrated by workers in most parts of world or involving political demonstrations.

    • ANSWER:
      On May 1, 1886, unions across the US went on strike to support a bold new concept – an eight-hour workday. Rallies were held in many cities, including Haymarket Square in Chicago. On May 4, someone threw a bomb into the crowd and the police opened fire. In the end twelve people died, including seven police officers, and more than 100 were wounded. Eight demonstrators were tried for murder. Four of them were executed and one committed suicide in prison. The government never produced any evidence that those convicted had any part in the actual bombing, or even knew the bomber. The trial received worldwide attention – and this was in the time before television, internet, and telephones. The international labor movement used the Haymarket Riot incident as a springboard to rally people to support workers’ rights and began its annual observation of May 1 as “May Day”. The International community celebrates it with rallies and speeches on the value of labor.

  16. QUESTION:
    which time of the menstrual cycle we get pregnant? which days are the days of fertility?
    I want to know, which days a condom is essential and which days safer.(if involved in a long term committed relationship).

    • ANSWER:
      First, I can't stress how important it is for you/your partner to wear a condom. Unprotected sex involves more than just unwanted pregnancy. Disease. Death. Serious things like this.

      Second, it really differs from woman to woman.

      If you're looking for the law of averages, a woman is more fertile between the 12th and 16th day of her cycle.

      If you go to this website: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=19970115

      You can actually calculate when your window of opportunity is (and isn't).

    • ANSWER:
      Because your period is a bit irregular having MORE sex is your best bet. About 13-16 days after the first day of your period you should start ovulating. so I'd say that from the 13th to the 20th day of your cycle have lots of sex! Here is a great tool I use to help track my fertile days and my period.
      http://www.webmd.com/baby/healthtool-ovulation-calculator

  31. QUESTION:
    What if you only have sex once during fertile days?
    What are the chances of getting pregnant? My fertility days are the 22 thru the 27. But I could only have sex the night of the 24th. What do you think my chances are? Should I aim for the 24th being my ovulation day since its in the middle? And I dont recall having any ovulation mucus, any of these days.

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation usually happens at the end of your fertile days. (Sperm can live in your body for about 5 days if you have receptive mucus. The egg dies within 24 hours if not fertilized.)

      If you ovulate on the 27th, the 24th should give you a good chance -- probably around 20-25%.

    • ANSWER:

    • ANSWER:
      well from what your saying I would have to say it is possible because sperm live in the vagina for up to 4 days. But the best way is to have sex every other day during your fertile days and then just relax and wait. Don't get overtly stressed it doesn't help. Good luck.

    My period ended 4 days ago today. If i have unprotected sex today and the guys cums in me what are the chances of be getting pregnant??

    P.S Today is supposedly one of my high fertility days.

    Thank You For Helping.

    • ANSWER:
      Normally with a 28 day cycle it is 14 days BEFORE you period when you ovulate, but it is possible to ovulate 4 days after your period or even when your on your period. Some women don't have the usual 28 day cycle and 14 day LP. Your best bet is to not think about it [expecially if you were not trying] and the day of your next expected period take a test, and if you were trying keep having unprotected sex every to her day until either your period shows or you get a positive pregnancy test. Good luck to you either way.

  38. QUESTION:
    why so many high fertility days on clearblue easy digital machine?
    My cycle is every 30-34 days. My husband and I started TTC this month. I started using the tester again. Im on day 18 and have gotten nothing but high fertility readings since day 11. I started testing on day 8 and on day 11 got high fertility and have only been high since. No egg symbol yet.

    Does any one know why some women get continued days of high fertility? And never show an egg?

    This has happened once before and blood work confirmed I ovulated but clearblue easy is on holiday today and they have nothing on their website indicating a reason why the high is reading for so long. It only says a women should get it for 1-5 days... not 8+ as in my case.
    Clearblue operator told me that because I hadnt used the monitor in about a year that the monitor might not register my hormones accurately and that it might take a few months to give accurate results.... doesnt help when trying to concieve, but I go in for blood work to see if Im even ovulating today, so we'll see if I did or not. Doubt Im pregnant this month, but we'll hope for sticky baby dust for next month if not. Good luck to all!

    • ANSWER:
      wow thats weird.. I've never heard about that.. maybe its a good strong surge?? best of luck!!

  39. QUESTION:
    I had a norrigynon injection on the 14th of this month and had sex on my high fertility days.am I pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could be, take a test after missed period

  40. QUESTION:
    8 high days and no peak with clearblue fertility monitor...PLEASE HELP!!!!?
    hey, this is the first month for me using the clearblue fertility monitor, i have been TTC for 6 months. after a month of being off my pill i used the ovulating tests which shown i was having my surge on days 13/14 for two months, then i stopped using them as i felt i knew when i would ovulate. with the clearblue fertility monitor i have had 8 high fertility days and no peak, i am on day 16 of my cycle now. it may sound stupid but was wondering if anyone else had the same issue??
    finally got my peak today!!! turns out i am ovulating 5 days later then i thought, mite explain my not been getting prenant, hopefully get my positive test soon!! thanx for all the advice xx

    • ANSWER:
      I've never used the monitor, but since you're only on day 16, its very possible that you haven't hit your peak fertility yet. On a normal 28 day cycle, you can ovulate anywhere from day 8-18. Also, 2 months of getting the surge on the same days might not really be an accurate picture. I'd say continue using the monitor for your entire first cycle (make sure to document everything) and then see how it goes next month. Good luck to you!

  41. QUESTION:
    What were your high or peak fertility days while using the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor?
    I have a cycle that usually ranges from 29 to 31 days and i was just wondering if any of you out there have used this monitor with about the same number of days in your cycle. If so can tell me what days you usually ovulated on? This is the first month i've used it and i'm still trying to get acquianted with it...

    I'm on day 12 now and still at low fertility...I have been charting for a few months but it got confussing so i was hoping this would be easier.

    Any advice you can give me is greatly appreciated.
    Lucky Lady - it would be great if we both got our BFP this month...we have been trying for about 5 months now and with my charting getting more complicated and confussing i thought the monitor would really help me out. Well today was day 13 and i got a high fertility reading today so i'm hopeing that we are on to something. ha ha My luteal phase is usually 13 or 14 days so we'll see in a couple of weeks what happens.

    Good luck to all of you that have or will answer! Baby dust to all!!!!

    • ANSWER:
      I have been using the monitor for 4 months, and I love it. I normally have a 26 or 27 day cycle, but sometimes I go as long as 29 days. When I have a 27 day cycle I ovulate on day 14, and with a 26 day cycle I ovulate on day 13. My luteal phase is 12 days long, so even though I sometimes ovulate on day 14, it doesn't mean I have a 28 day cycle. I have a shorter luteal phase. With a 29 day cycle I ovulate on day 16, and get my period 13 days later, having a 12 day luteal phase. Every now and then I have a 31 day cycle, meaning I ovulate a lot later than I normally do, which would be on day 18. I am on day 12 today too :) Still having low readings as well. Normally I'm getting high readings at this point and would be ovulating tomorrow or the next day, but obviously this tells me I am going to have a longer cycle this month, ovulating later than I normally do. It's been worrying me, but I know I shouldn't, I'm just going to ovulate later, and this is probably the case for you too. Good luck to you, and lots of baby dust for us!! We're on the same schedule, so hopefully if we're lucky we can share our BFP by the end of this cycle! :) How wonderful would that be??!!

    if a boy precum in u on one of your fertility days is it a great chance that the precum would get u pregnant?

  43. QUESTION:
    im tcc, its one of my high fertility days?
    i checked on one of those logs that im supposed to ovulate on the 9th of this month, i had sex and left it in 3.4 and 3.5 what are my chances of getting pregnant this month??

    • ANSWER:
      most sperm only lives 2-3 days, but some can live up to 5-7 days, so there is still a small chance that some of the sperm may still be inside of you when you ovulate on the 9th

  44. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of becoming pregnant during high fertility/ovulation? ?
    Last week was the week of my high fertility days, and Sunday (yesterday) was the day I ovulated. I have been having some symptoms: mild cramping, fatigue, nausea, frequent urination. Is it possible that I am pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      If you are trying to conceive and have been having sex around your fertile times, then pregnancy is always a possibility. Most normal couples with no fertility issues have a 20-25% chance of conceiving each cycle and it can take several months to conceive. It is recommended to seek medical advice after a year of trying without success.

      If you just ovulated yesterday, then its impossible to be feeling pregnancy symptoms already. The egg, if its even been fertilized yet, is still in the fallopian tube. It won't implant for several more days and implantation will take a few days as well. Only after the implantation process is complete will HCG levels begin to rise, and you will need at least a couple of days of rising levels for them to be detected on a urine test. Even at that point, the levels are still very low and not likely to cause any symptoms.

      Your symptoms are side effects of elevated progesterone levels which is normal after ovulation whether you are pregnant or not. True pregnancy related symptoms (those caused by rising HCG levels) won't show up until around when your period is due at the earliest, but more commonly at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy.

      Good luck!

  45. QUESTION:
    After you have sex during your fertility day,is it possible to check immediately, if your pregnant?
    During my fertility day I have sex with my bf, but we use withdrawal method, is it possible to determine immediately your pregnant? If we do our sex on 9th of thismonth when will i know if i'am pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      It will take approx 2 weeks to get a positive test after conception.
      Are you actively trying to concieve? If so, why did your boyfriend withdraw? If not, why aren't you using contraception? If you don't want to get pregnant, use birth control. Otherwise there'll be one more abortion or one more unwanted baby.
      ETA - Going by your previous questions, I'm betting that you are trying to get pregnant against your partner's wishes. If you are, I strongly suggest getting on birth control and waiting until you are both ready for a child. This is why women get a bad name.

Days Of Ovulation To Get Pregnant

Best Days to Get Pregnant - Trying to Get Pregnant Quickly
The best days to get pregnant is to know when you ovulate. When you ovulate an ovum or egg is going to go through the uterus and then in a couple of days it will die. In order for you to have a good chance of getting pregnant, you need to have sex during the period when you ovulate. Also a couple of days before you ovulate and a day or two after you ovulate. You also need to know that sperm stays alive in the uterus for three to five days.

Your Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation

The most fertile period of the menstrual cycle is ovulation. During this time the egg and sperm will come together and get fertilized. After the egg is formed it will only live for half a day or one day. You need to have sex before the ovulation period begins.

Signs of Ovulation

You will have a change in your body temperature. This is a sign of ovulation and you need to have intercourse when you ovulate to increase your chance to get pregnant. Also increasing progesterone will be an effect of ovulation.Progesterone is one of the hormones in our bodies that stimulates and regulates various functions. Progesterone plays a role in maintaining pregnancy.

Basal Temperature Shift

A basal thermometer is an ultra sensitive thermometer that tracks your body's minutest temperature shift. A basal body temperature thermometer is often used by women to chart their basal body temperature chart and hence predict their fertile period or ovulation. Get a basal thermometer so you will know when you are going to ovulate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Whats the Chance of getting Pregnant 2 days before Ovulation?
    I was wondering what the chance was 2 days before ovulation to get pregnant. My fertile days were from the 11th-15th and me and my fiance had unprotected sex the 12th-13th my ovulation date was the 14th. Also what is the earliest day we can test?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, the 3 days prior to ovulation are prime time for getting pregnant. Most pregnancies are the result of intercourse that had taken place within the 3 days prior to ovulation. Your chances are about 25%. Which is the most any of us TTC have, each month of actively trying and timing intercourse around our fertile window and ovulation. You didi good! The earliest you can test is 4-5 days before your expected period with an early result test like First Response. Please keep in mind that testing early increases your chances of getting a false negative. The early tests do not work for everyone. The closer you wait to your expected period to test, the less chance you have a false negatives. I would test the day before at the earliest. Good luck and baby dust!!

  2. QUESTION:
    Can a woman only get pregnant during ovulation days?
    Can a woman ONLY get pregnant during her ovulation days? I did an ovulation calendar for myself because I am ttc. It will be the 1st time I get pregnant but I would like to know if I could only get pregnant during those 5 ovulation days? Because its kind of funny, what happens to the other 25 or so days of the month? Cant make babies on those other days? It’s kind of frustrating having only 5 days out of the month.

    • ANSWER:
      yes you can get pregnant at anytime during your cycle....its just not as easy after your ovulation finishes because the egg has died out and your body is getting ready to be rid of the remains (hence your period). but before ovulation may be slightly easier because that is when the egg is newly forming, or has almost matured, its just depending on how many days before the ovulation that a woman has had intercourse since sperm can live up 7 days inside a woman....and ovulation may occur during anytime and occasionally more than once.

  3. QUESTION:
    How likely is it to get pregnant two days befor ovulation?
    So me and my hubby have had sex on all my fertile days but got to busy and stoped two days befor ovulation..we have been trying for a baby for alittle while now and I was just wondering what the chances are of getting pregnant.

    Thank you

    • ANSWER:
      After ejaculation sperm can live inside a woman's body for several days, even as many as 6-7 days if conditions are optimal. So, if you had sex a couple days before you actually ovulated than it would certainly possible for a pregnancy to occur. It is an understandable misconception that fertilization occurs the same day you have sex. However, due to the fact that sperm can live for awhile inside the woman and the fact that after ovulation the egg remains viable for 12-24 hours, it is quite likely that actual conception doesn't occur immediately after sex. Statistically, when both sperm and egg are present, pregnancy will occur about 20-25% of the time. This is due to many factors including potential problems with the fertilization process, the cell division process or the implantation process. So, if you had sex a couple days before ovulation, your chances of getting pregnant would be in the 20-25% range.

  4. QUESTION:
    How Likely Is It To Get Pregnant 2 Days Before Ovulation?
    I am trying to look for percentages online but I can't find any. How likely is it to get pregnant if you have sex two days before ovulation? I have two kids, but both were conceived on the actual 14th day of my cycle. So, I'm so confused now if it's just a remote possibility of getting pregnant having sex two days before ovulation. Please advise :) . I appreciate it very much :) .
    And my two children are boys, like the third answer said :) .

    • ANSWER:
      Sperm can live up to 5 days inside your body, the boy sperm only lives up for 24 hours but its a fast swimmer thats why if you have sex on ovulation day chances are the boy sperm will reach the egg first but the female sperm can live on for up to 72 hours or more. If you had sex two days before ovulating it's a big probability that you conceived a girl because the boy sperm should of been dead by the time you released the egg. What are the sexes of your kids? if they were conceived on ovulation days, I think they're probably boys. Let me know.

  5. QUESTION:
    Can a blood test tell if you are pregnant 12 days after ovulation?
    I am going tomorrow to get a blood test done to see if I am pregnant. First day of my last period was roughly the 28th of April meaning I should have ovulated around the 10th of May.. which tomorrow would be 12 days ago. I was wondering if a blood test would show up positive if I am pregnant 12 days after ovulation.. it'd put me at about 3 1/2 weeks pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. In fact, a blood test may be the only way to determine pregnancy at 12 days post ovulation. But, it depends on the type of blood test they give you. On is a simple yes/no test that gives its answer based on a certain level of HCG. This test is sometimes wrong because the base level of HCG it looks for is not there yet. The other blood test gives you an exact number which a doctor can interpret to determine if the HCG level is elevated or raising.

  6. QUESTION:
    what are the chances of getting pregnant 4 days before ovulation?
    last period was on the 17 September.i have a 28 day cycle so am expecting to ovulate on the 30 september.My husband and i had sex on friday and today.Has anyone out there ever fallen pregy from having sex a few days before ovulation?

    • ANSWER:
      That's what you are suppose to do. Sperm can live in the female body for up to 6 days, up in the uterus just waiting for an egg to be released you are suppose to have sex every other day even while ovulating, also, have sex in the morning, sperm is more potent at this time.

  7. QUESTION:
    What are the chances of getting pregnant 6 days past ovulation?
    My husband and I had unprotected sex 6 days past when I ovulated (according to temperature and CM data put into FertilityFriend). Is there any chance I could get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      If you did in fact ovulate (and you're POSITIVE) then the chances are ZERO. The egg you release usually lives 12-24 hours and then dies unless it is fertilized. Therefore at 6DPO there is no viable egg to fertilize.

  8. QUESTION:
    What's the probability of getting pregnant 4 days before ovulation?
    I had my period Nov 29, had unprotected sex on Dec 8 & 9, and I believe ovulation was probably the 12th. I'm just freaking out a little. I'll take a test tomorrow, but I'm hoping someone can help calm me down a little. Of course if I'm pregnant I'll take responsibility, I just didn't want it to happen right now.

    • ANSWER:
      Pennguin - "You are most fertile 3 days before your period and 3 days after sometimes."
      No, no, NO!!!! PLEASE tell me you weren't paying attention in class and not that this is what they are teaching you in bio class! (Is that why teen pregnancy is an epidemic???)

      To the OP:
      Sperm can survive inside a fertile female for up to 5 days, so having sex 4 days before ovulation is a fertile time, however its not the *most* fertile time. The probability of pregnancy would be higher if you had sex within 2-3 days of ovulation and the day of ovulation - 4 days is a little too close to the expiry date for sperm, but there would likely be some still swimming around. However, you also can't know for sure when you ovulated - it could have been a day earlier or a day later.

      Most normal couples with no fertility issues only have a 20-25% chance of pregnancy each cycle (when they are trying). However, it always seem that those who are actively trying fall into the 75% that don't get pregnant while those who are not trying fall into the 25% who do :o (.

      You'll just have to wait to see if AF shows up. To avoid a false negative, do not test before your period is due.

      I hope you get the answer you're looking for!

  9. QUESTION:
    Can a woman become pregnant days other than the ovulation week?
    I understand that there is an ovulation week and what not...and I also have heard that there is only 2 days out of the month that a woman can become pregnant...is this true? is the ovulation week just your best bet to become pregnant or can you get pregnant any day out of the month it's just less of a chance?

    • ANSWER:
      It IS possible to get pregnant any time of month but the week of ovulation usually up's your chances a bit. Every woman is different and each pregnancy is different, so it is hard to tell how fertile each person is.

  10. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant 2 days after ovulation?
    Me and my boyfriend had intercourse on July 11 and he broke the hymens. I've heard that it is easier for the sperm to find its way inside the vagina after they break. I stopped ovulating a couple of days before this. Could i still get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      If you ovulated your egg in there can be "good" for up to 4 days. So it's possible you could have gotten pregnant.

  11. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant if u had sex only on ovulation day ?

Please help me !

    • ANSWER:

  13. QUESTION:
    can i still get pregnant one day after my ovulation days are over?
    the first day of my last period was on May 28. I already found out that my ovulation days were supposed to be between June 8 and June 13. Sadly, my husband was out of the country and we couldn't make love during those days. But the day after, on June 14, my husband was back and we made love. Do i still have a chance to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      There is still very good chance of you getting pregnant.. My Doc says there is 1 week window time where you can get pregnant

      Infact my best friend got pregnant on her 18th day while her ovulation was early on 12th day..

      Good luck and Baby dust

  14. QUESTION:
    Chance of getting pregnant 4 days before ovulation?
    Is it likely that I will get pregnant? I had unprotected sex twice 4 days before I am supposed to ovulate. I have read that it is 20-25 % when all conditions are perfect, so my chance would be less than that is that right?

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      sperm only are alive for 72 hours after ejacualtion ..... In order to be pregnant you need to ovulate within 72 hours of having sex

  15. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant days before ovulation?
    if u have a lot of sex 1 week or more before ovulation would there be a chance to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Ovulation Day is the only time you can actually conceive. However, it's possible for sperm to stay alive for several days....so if you have sex in the days leading up to ovulation, the sperm can possibly stay alive and then fertilize the egg on ovulation day. They say that sperm generally lives about 3 days tops, but if you have very fertile cervical mucus, it's possible for that to increase. Preseed is a lubricant that lots of people use and love (including myself!). It imitates fertile cervical mucus, therefore helping the sperm stay alive longer.

      I hope this helps.....if you had sex in the couple-few days before ovulation, there's a good chance that you could get pregnant. Best of luck and lots of baby dust!

  16. QUESTION:
    Do I have to have sex on ovulation day and all of my other fertility days to get pregnant?
    So I only had sex on my ovulation day... Does that mean I could still be pregnant? I have a normal 28day cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Hey! I was the same i was totally confused about the whole ovulation timing!!! You are fertile for so many days and then you have a couple of days where you are very very fertile so my suggestion is to have sex at least once every day you are fertile to up your chances of conceiving!!!! That is just my opinion as i am in the same boat as you ttc and had sex at least once through my whole fertile time and now its two weeks since my ovulation and i am going to get a test today to find out as my tummy is really swollen (could be bloating)....

      Hope this helps a bit! Good Luck!! :o )

  17. QUESTION:
    can you become pregnant 2 days after ovulation and 1 day after u r fertile?
    Me and my husband had sex 2 days after i ovulation and one day after i was fertile... what are my chances of been pregnant am 5 days till my period and i've been feeling sick and having cramps like am about to get my period can anyone HELP ME PLZ !!!! i already have 2 kids 7 and 3 years but this never happen to me wit them so i don't know what to think.......

    • ANSWER:
      When an egg is released during ovulation, it can survive from 12-24 hours. This is the time-frame after ovulation you have to babydance to catch that egg! Any time after this, the egg will already be fertilised or will not have been caught this month. Having sex 2 days before ovulation is much more likely to result in pregnancy although bear in mind that it is possible to ovulate a day or two out of sync from time to time. You would only really know your exact day for sure if you are using a method such as ferning, charting temps, using OPKs etc.

      Cramping before your period is illusive. It can be indicative of early pregnancy but also can be put down to PMS. The fact that you don't usually have this is a promising sign. You should know for sure in 5 days time!!

    This was our first month of trying and I should've ovulated between the 3rd and 4th. Unfortunately during my fertile week we only "did the deed" once on august 31st due to busy schedules.

    it may be a long shot but is it possible to have conceived in that time?

    • ANSWER:
      I think I get what your asking. When the egg is released, it only "lives" for 24 hours unless its fertilised. Luckily though, Sperm can "live" for 24 hours - 7 days! It varies from man to man.
      So yes, its possible you might have had live sperm there waiting for your egg! Good luck :) :)

  26. QUESTION:
    If I were to get pregnant the first day of ovulation, do I continue to ovulate the few days after?
    My husband and I have been trying to conceive, I recently got off birth control and around the days I should have started ovulation I started getting light cramps. My cramps have been here on and off for about a week now. Everything I read says I'm probably ovulating. Can you ovulate for this long? Would I still be ovulating if I am indeed pregnant? I can take a pregnancy test in 7-10 days.

    • ANSWER:
      You only ovulate for 24 to 48 hours. Your body releases one egg from one ovary (and on some occasions one from each and you get fraternal twins). That is the only egg that can or will get fertilized that month. If it has been fertilized and it attaches, you are pregnant. If it doesn't, it dies and you start your period.

  27. QUESTION:
    Sex 4 days before ovulation & pregnant?
    My fiancee and I had unprotected sex late last night/early this morning and he came inside me. According to my period tracker app my fertile days started yesterday and go through September 1st, which I would ovulate on the 31st. I also did some research that said that in order to concieve a girl you are supposed to have sex 3-4 days before ovulation, which would of been today. So I was wondering if anyone has got pregnant 4 days before ovulation and what are my chances of being pregnant? Also, what date should I test? Thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      Sperm could live inside your body for up to four days, so it's very possible you could get pregnant.

      Right now, you'll need to wait at least two weeks before you can take an early response test... Three for a normal test.

    Chances of pregnancy 4 days before ovulation & pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes. It is definetly possible to get pregnant if you have sex a few days before ovulation. because sperm can survive inside of you for up to 3-5 days after sex. so the sperm can wait around for you to ovulate and release an egg. I have heard about that technique, for getting pregnant with a girl vs. a boy. i don't really know how easy that would be to follow. but you could try it. having sex a few days before ovulation is more likely to result in a girl tho. because girl sperm lasts longer than the boy sperm does. but boy sperm swims faster. so if you have sex right when you ovulate higher chance of getting a boy. so you never know. take a test about 2-3 weeks after last having sex and that should be accurate. or around the time you expect your next period.

      good luck to you

  32. QUESTION:
    Did any of you become pregnant (if it's possible) 2 days after ovulation occurs (the egg is released)?
    I ovulated on Friday and we had sex on Sunday- is it possible to get pregnant? Plus just wondering if you did get pregnant 2 days after ovulation--> what gender is your baby?
    i know i ovulated on friday because i got that ovulation pain- which i actually get more NOW after the birth of my 9 mo. old son... thanks for the insight...

    • ANSWER:
      It's nearly impossible unless you have some kind of super egg! The egg is believed to only live for 12-24 hours after released.

      edit: forgot to answer the second part of the question! as the 3rd answerer said, male sperm swim faster than female sperm, so they would be more likely to reach the egg first. however, its not 100% accurate :)

  33. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant? Fertility days/ Ovulation days?
    My husband and I have been thinking about trying for a baby, and so I have been tracking my fertile and ovulation days. I took 1 birth control pill on the 18th, none on the 19th, and we had sex on the 20th (which is the day I ovulate) Today is the 21st and I haven't taken a pill today. I think I might go ahead and stop taking them altogether. I have read that your supposed to stop taking birth control 3 months before your ready to try getting pregnant, so your body gets used to it's natural cycle. But I don't know if it would hurt anything if we happened to get pregnant right away. Btw, I just started yaz and have been taking it for about 6 weeks now. I am about 10-15 pounds overweight so I know that could decrease our chances, but I am trying to get healthy in every aspect.

    The doctors have told us that my husbands testosterone is low, but were not sure about his sperm count. We really want to start a family soon. So I guess my main question is that what is the probability of me getting pregnant if we had sex the day of ovulation? I know not everything is 100% but there is a part of me that is hoping it will just happen. And also I am a little afraid that it will take us a long time to conceive or we may not at all.

    • ANSWER:
      Seeing as you took a pill two days before you had sex, you most likely didn't ovulate the day you thought. If you don't take one today, then you should ovulate tomorrow or one of the days after. Have sex every other day this week. This will increase your chances (and make your hubby happy)! Sex every day will lower his sperm count, however. Avoid this. However, you might not ovulate at all this cycle. On the other hand, starting a new birth control increases your chances. There are a lot of back and forth factors in your case!

      If you are going to start trying, stop taking your birth control pills.

      There isn't really any risks to the baby should you get pregnant right away. Doctor's recommend the three month rule so your ovulation days become regular and more predictable.

      Your chances of getting pregnant sound like they are just as good as everyone else's. Remember that most couples don't conceive right off, and 1 in every 7 couples have fertility problems and must seek outside help. Also, your highest chance of conceiving is 2 weeks after your last period. Good luck on conceiving!

  34. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant 3 days before your ovulation date?
    OK so according to the ovulation calculator I am supposed to ovulate 25th of June we did it on the 21st and the 22nd can I still get pregnant? Also today is the 23rd I felt sick as a do this morning has anyone felt morning sickness from the moment they conceived is it possible?

    • ANSWER:
      Absolutely, you may have just struck lucky. Remember that in any case, sperm can survive inside of you for up to 5 days - covering your ovulation date by the calculator nicely. Morning sickness usually doesn't happen this early on - it may be related to something you've eaten? I'm sure it's not unheard of but I was about 7 weeks pregnant when I felt sick. The breast tenderness was my first sign - Good luck!

  37. QUESTION:
    Missed pills! intimate three days before ovulation? Pregnant? Please help?
    Ok let me first start off with saying if I am pregnant then my husband and I would be very happy but surprised since we were planning on waiting until the spring to conceive. Well my husband lives in a different state because of work so I decided to not take my bc pills after I had my period because wanted to save the pack for when he came home next month. I had my normal period and then decided not to take the first week of pills. Well my husband came home to surprise me for the weekend so I started the first pill on Saturday (Aug29) (usually a Sunday start) so I had been almost full week off pills. We only were intimate Monday morning (aug 31) (3 pills consumed) (12 days after my period started). Would there be a chance that I still might have ovulated on Wed or Thurs, even though ive continued to take my pills regularly since I started that Saturday? My son was conceived on the 14th day of my cycle 2 years ago after I had stopped the pill the previous month (so was off the pill 14 days when conceived him) So I was just wondering how much missing that first week might have affected my ovulation and if I could have gotten pregnant from having sex 3 days before it may or may not have occurred. My breasts have been a little sore and swollen and I’ve been tired and hungrier then usual, which I assume could be due to taking the pills or pms as well. Could I be pregnant? What are the chances?
    Was also wondering if I should stop my pills this weekend and see if I get period since it would have normally been the week I would be due to get period, or if I should just wait til the pack is done. I know with my son I got a BFP 12 days past ovulation so soonest I could test would be this coming Monday. Just looking for some opinions or suggestions. Waiting to know is so hard!
    oh and i forgot to add to the symptoms that having slight cramping and extremly bloated and gassy.(i look 4 months pregnant already haha and really uncomfortable!) and when i said i've been tired lately, more like exhausted and have to take a nap in the afternoon. (which i never usually do) but is this too soon to be pregnancy symptoms?

    • ANSWER:
      there is always a possiblility. just continue with the pills and wait to see if your period turns up at the end of the packet. even though you got a bfp 12 days last time doesnt mean you will this time, so dont think its bfn at 12 days. i would test when your period is due and if it doesnt turn up test again a few days later.

      good luck and i hope you get the resault you want

  38. QUESTION:
    Chances of getting pregnant intercourse 2 days before ovulation?
    My husband and I had intercourse on 9/21. My ovulation starts on 9/23 according to the ovualtion calculator. What are my chances of conceiving?

    • ANSWER:
      If you did actually ovulate on the 23rd then the 21st would have been either the day of your lh surge or the day before.

      Lh surges happen usually 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.

      You are the most fertile during the day of your lh surge so you have a have a good chance.

      I would recommend using an opk to detect exact lh surge.

  39. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant at 8 days post ovulation?
    I had sex on the 8th day post ovulation! The guy was wearing a condom but it wasn`t all the way done to the base of his penis and prior to putting on the condom he had pre-cum

    I ovulated on the 11th September but the white stretchy mucus lasted for 3 days till the 13th September

    I had sex on the 18th September

    I`m also no longer on the pill or on any other form of contraception
    Chances of getting pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Did you do and actually ovulation test to see if you where ovulating on that day.. if you did and you are sure that's when you ovulated then 8 days later with a condom it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant there is always a slight chance but in this case i would say not to worry about it you are probably not pregnant do a test if your late and you think that you are. try not to stress about it stress can make you period late too.. good luck :D

  40. QUESTION:
    6 days after ovulation...pregnant?
    I know, I'm gonna get the same people answering me..ha..but I wanted to re-word and edit. Since I'm on my phone, its a pain.

    Anyways, I had unprotected sex the day before ovulation, 6 days ago (yes, 6, not 5, I thought today was the 10th). 3 and 4 days ago, I was getting twinges in my ovary areas and my uterus had a hollow feeling. As of yesterday, my body feels like I *should* have my period. I woke up an hour or so ago to puke. Every time I lie down, its nasty!

    There's a lot of people who say all of this is impossible, but then there are just as many who say its very likely I could be. I don't know what to think here. Considering I haven't puked in 8 years except for when I drank too much, this is very odd.

    Can you help me?
    I know the 14 day thing, my mom taught me that probably 7 years ago. What I'm saying, is overall, my body feels like its in period mode without the period...know what I mean?

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    Can you get pregnant Day 8-9-10 of your cycle. Or it's really only Day 14 of your cycle?
    I was wondering if you can get pregnant before you ovulate.

    I got my pregnant last Monday, September 19th, and my boyfriend and I had sex this Monday, Tuesday and yesterday... which would be day 8-9-10 of my cycle.. Can I get pregnant by having had sex those days, or is the sperm already all dead.. Or when should we have sex to conceive

    I got my period on the 19th of Sept and have a 28 days cycle

    • ANSWER:
      You cannot "get pregnant" before you ovulate as there is no egg in your fallopian tube before you ovulate. Sperm have to meet your egg that is the only way to conceive! Having sex a day or 2 before you ovulate is great, this means the sperm will have reached your fallopian tube when you do ovulate. This is probably what you mean?

      Most women ovulate around 14 days before their next period is due so if you have a fairly regular 28 day cycle you would ovulate around 3 October ie 14 days before your next period is due. A woman with a 30 day cycle will ovulate around day 16 of her cycle ie 14 days before her period is due.

      The sperm won't live until you ovulate next week I'm afraid so you had better have sex from Saturday onwards I imgaine. Having sex every other day is best if you are trying to concieve that way the sperm don't get depleted from having too much sex.

      Best of luck.

  2. QUESTION:
    How many of you women have gotten pregnant by having unprotected sex on day 9 and 11 of their cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      It's very possible,it depends on your body.I had a friend that had the same problem,she could'nt figure out why she could'nt get pregnant with all the test in the world ran on her,but come to find out she ovulated 9days after her cycle.Not a big,big difference.BUT it can be when TTC.

  4. QUESTION:
    What is the probability of getting pregnant on day 25 in your cycle?
    My cycle is roughly 30 days long. I know that women are most fertile around mid cycle but just wondering what the statistics are for a woman to get pregnant later in her cycle eg/ day 25 on a 30 day cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Your cycle length is not a factor.
      It depends on your own unique fertility pattern and you luteal phase (the time from ovulation til the next period)

      You can have a 30 day cycle and still ovulate on day 19 or 18 or 20! which can be fine.

      If you ovulate much later than that (say day 25 ) or much earlier (like day 14) then conception is not really possible.

  15. QUESTION:
    How likley is it to get pregnant on day 21 of your 32 day cycle when there was no ejaculation envolved?

    • ANSWER:
      Regardless of whether or not ejaculation occurred, if intercourse occurred, then there is always a possibility - most men release some semenial fluid prior to ejaculation.

      You should always practice safe sex and take birth control if you don't plan on starting a family.

  16. QUESTION:
    Can a woman get pregnant day 1 of cycle?
    Hello my Boyfriend and I am currently trying to conceive, we actually had intercourse just about an hour before my cycle started unprotected, I guess Im wondering if I could have gotten pregnant then. I know that a woman is most likely to conceive days 9-14 of their cycle but I'm feeling funny now and is wondering I could have gotten pregnant day 1 of my cycle, please help with any info thanks!!!

    • ANSWER:
      day 1 is the day your period starts, so not likely

  17. QUESTION:
    is there a high chance of getting pregnant on the 20th day of a 28 day cycle?
    which day is the most likely day to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, I tried and tried on the teen days 13-19 when you are supposed to be ovulating. However when I got pg, realized that what I thought was the end of my period was actually the beginning of ovultion. Some women have a slight discharge when they are ovulating, but this is no means a way of birth control. Women are different and have different cycles so they can ovulate at different times.
      So if you are wanting to get pg, just try every other day and at different times of the day. If you have been trying for a long time you can go to gyn and get thermometer to check out temperature, it rises or falls can't remember when ovulating. But, most importantly chill out and do not get all tensed up. Have fun and take the attitude that if it happens it will and if it doesn't that's just the way it is. Have you ever heard of women getting pg after they adopt. They forget about trying to get pg and relax and it happens normally.

  18. QUESTION:
    How likely is it to get pregnant on day 27 of a 34 day cycle,using a condom?

    • ANSWER:
      Condoms break easily.

  19. QUESTION:
    Could I ovulate and become pregnant on day 29 of a 32 day cycle?
    My ob said that I probably ovulate late in my cycle. If this is correct, could I be pregnant when I had sex on day 29 of my normally 32 day cycle? I missed my period BUT on day 39, I had light bleeding. For a period, this is NOT normal... I am usually very heavy, lots of cramps and clots. This is watery red, enough to use a pad or tampon, accompanied by slight cramps and headaches. It has been going on 48 hours now, stopping and starting again half way in between. It's getting a little more red in color, but not like it normally is. Could this is implanation bleeding? I have taken a test and it's negative. But if I haven't reached a "2 week point" since my expected ovulation day, it wouldn't come up anyways, right? Please, any answers would help.
    Can anyone describe early breast tenderness? I think I may have it, but mine feel tingly, like "let-down" when breastfeeding. Is this normal?

    • ANSWER:
      A woman can get pregnant during any time of her cycle. Even when she is menstruating. Though rare, it does happen.

      Ovulation usually occurs 14 days from the ONSET of your period. But, the egg remains in the body until the next menses.

      I was using protection and had my period during the time my daughter was conceived. One of my best friends conceived during two of her periods.

      Some women are just fertile like that.

  20. QUESTION:
    possible to get pregnant on day 18 of cycle?
    me and my husband are TTC, we started a little later this month as we were both ill, we had unprotected sex from around day 18 of my cycle (ish). my periods are normally 28days, but last month for some reason it was delayed so last month was 30 day cycle which is unusual for me.

    • ANSWER:
      Not likley but possible. On a 28 day cycle you TYPICALLY ovulate on day 14 so on a 30 day cycle you would TYPICALLY ovulate on day 16. But, I say typically because there is always a small percentage of people who ovulate early or late. So, you COULD ovulate on day 18 and just made the mark!! Good luck!

  21. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant with a 39 day cycle?
    I have PCOS, and this is my 3rd round of Clomid (100mg). Prior to starting Clomid I usually had my period 3 times a year. Since taking the Clomid my cycle has been 39 days. I used an ovulation predictor kit and on Wednesday (day 23) I had my first positive result..EVER! I assume I should be encouraged but I still wonder if I can get pregnant with a cycle this long.

    • ANSWER:
      cycle length shouldn't matter. Just as long as you are ovulating.

  22. QUESTION:
    How many of you women have gotten pregnant by having unprotected sex on day 9 and?
    How many of you women with an average 28-30 day cycle have gotten pregnant on day 9 and day 11 of their cycle, and how likely is it?? And how long did it take you to get pregnant???

    • ANSWER:
      That really depends on which day in your cycle you ovulate. Not everyone ovulates exactly in the middle. For example, I tend to have a 29 day cycle and ovulate around day 16.
      You should learn to chart your cycles. You can know approximately when you ovulate even if you have irregular periods. You should check out the website fertilityfriend.com or the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Once you learn when you ovulate, you can be extra careful with BC during that time.

  23. QUESTION:

    possible to tell which day i got pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      Going by a 30 day cycle for you (which is inbetween) and the first day of your last period. You would have caught about the 16/17th of Sept and be about 6 week's tomorrow.

  24. QUESTION:
    can you get pregnant on day 6/7 of cycle?
    I usually have a 28-32 days cycle and had intercourse with my husband on day 6 of my cycle just after my period finished - is it possibel to be pregnant? what are the chances?

    • ANSWER:
      It doesn't really make a difference as to how long after your period you had sex. Do you know what your ovulation schedule is compared to your period? That's what makes the difference. Sperm can stay alive for a few days after having sex, so if you ovulate shortly after your period, then I suppose it is possible.
      Everyone ovulates at a different time through their schedule, so if you don't know this information, you will just have to wait out a few more weeks until you can test for pregnancy, or get your period.
      Good luck!

  25. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant on the first day of your menstrual cycle?
    My husband and I have been TTC for a year now with no luck. I have very irregular periods and usually have to see my doctor every 6 months for pills in order to receive a menstrual cycle. Now out of nowhere my cycle started and I was wondering if its still possible to get pregnant the day before your cycle starts or during.. HELP!!...

  26. QUESTION:
    Any one get pregnant with a 45 day cycle?
    I have PCOS and am currently on metformin to regulate my cycle. Before starting this, I rarely had a cycle, and if i did, it was very sporatic. Since starting the metformin at the end of August, AF has been predictable, but only every 45 days (twice now). I haven't been able to check for ovulation due to 2 medical procedures right around the time of both AFs, but I was just curious if anyone else had similar long cycles and was able to get pregnant.

    • ANSWER:
      My cycle is usually very unpredictable. It varies from 30-60 days, usually. I have had one successful pregnancy. I am trying for number 2. It helps to use an ovulation predictor kit to track your LH surge. My doctor recommended it, even though it is possible to get false positives with PCOS. It is a great tool that a doctor can use to help you figure out what is going on with your body.

  27. QUESTION:
    What are the chance of getting pregnant on 7th day of cycle?
    I'm just wandering what my chances are of getting pregnant on 7th day of cycle if it's 28-30 days and he pull-out but put back in just a little bit when cumming. Please not smart comments as I'm married it we know it's not a method but we don't care if I was to get pregnant. Just curious if I can in this stage, I think it's to early but wanted to know if anyone does know? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      Its possible, but I would say not very. Sperm can live inside you for 3-5 days (some say even 7) so if you ovualte up to 5 days later you could get pregnant. Day 7, its not likely though. You most likely ovulate between day 14-16 or so.

  28. QUESTION:
    Can I get pregnant on day 16 of my cycle?
    My period came on the 16th September and I had sex on the 16th day of my cycle. Two days before I had sex I noticed a thick white discharge. What does it mean?
    But my major concern is if I'm liable to become pregnant. Im afraid because I don't want to be.

    • ANSWER:
      you can become pregnant whenever as long as your female reproduction.. parts are working

  29. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get pregnant 8 days after your period started if you normally have a 30 day cycle?
    A few months ago I found out I had a blighted ovum. It took 3 months for me to get a period again and now since my last period 2 months ago, I'm pregnant. My cycle is usually 30 days and I've always known when I got pregnant with my other kids, but I'm wondering if my cycle would be messed up because of the blighted ovum. I had unprotected sex 8 days after my period started and then not again until when I would normally ovulate, 14 days after my period started. I'm wondering if it would be safe to say I got pregnant when I would've normally ovulated or if my cycle would be off and I would've got pregnant 8 days after?

    • ANSWER:
      It could be either. Not every woman ovulates at the "normal" 14 days after her period whether they have had problems or not. If you can remember how you felt around those times it may help. Usually when you ovulate your temperature rises a little and you have more discharge. Good luck!

  30. QUESTION:
    Is it seriously THAT likely to get pregnant on your 8th day of your 30 day cycle?
    On the 8th day of my 30 day cycle, I had unprotected sex with my husband and he did not pull out. I haven't had sex with him at all, since then, or before..and I returnback home in a few weeks. Is it seriously that common to get pregnant ONCE. It seems extremely early to ovulate ya know?

    • ANSWER:
      If you normally have a 30 day cycle then you most likely ovulate close to day 16, so it would be pretty unlikely that the sperm from day 8 would be able to hang around long enough to fertilize an egg 8 days later - I'd say next to impossible. But if you were to ovulate earlier than that for some reason, there could be a chance.

      Please ignore the comment that cycles are only 28 days - different women can have different length cycles, as it appears you are already aware.

  31. QUESTION:
    Anyone get a negative HPT on day 27 of a 28-30 day cycle and still be pregnant?
    I tested this morning with an early HPT and it was negative. Period should arrive within 3 days so I would have expected test to be positive if i was pregnant, anyone else had this and it turned out to be good news?

    • ANSWER:
      The last time I tried for a baby I took loads of test's like you do lol but all of the negative then when I finally got a positive it was only 3 days after I had a negative if that makes sense???

      I was 5 weeks when I found out, but sadly lost it at 12 weeks

      I am trying again now with my period due yesterday but nothing as yet so fingers crossed

  32. QUESTION:
    Possible to get pregnant on day 10 of cycle?
    My wife and I had unprotected sex on day 10 of her cycle. I was just curious of the odds for her being pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      that depends on what time she ovulates. Sperm can live a couple of days inside her, waiting on an egg. Most women have 28 day cycles. Those who do usually ovulate on day 14, however, if she has a shorter cycle, she would more than likely ovulate quicker, the same with if her cycle is longer. I personally have a 31 day cycle and ovulate on or right around day 17. You can get pregnant up to 3 days before ovulation, so if she has a 27 day cycle, then you could have a pretty good chance, but if her cycle is 28 days or longer, then I would think your chances wouldn't be near as high.

  33. QUESTION:
    What day of your cycle did you get pregnant on?
    There are a lot of people out there wondering if they can get pregnant or not a day before their periods, on their periods, after their periods, blah, blah, blah! Everyone is so curious because while we can read all of this health stuff about when ovulation occurs, etc...things are still left a little mysterious! So, what day of your cycle did you get pregnant on?

    For example, with my last pregnancy I got pregnant on day 19/ out of a typical 28-day cycle: 19/28 (& this shocks a lot of people TTC because they say when you are TTC to try around the 14th day...however this pregnancy did end in a miscarriage so...)

    What day of your cycle did you make your baby?!

    • ANSWER:
      I got pregnant on day 21. Had been trying for about 9 months (BD 6 days around the 14th day) and then gave up. Fell pregnant the next month.

      Complete shock!

  34. QUESTION:

    Is it very likely for you to get pregnant on the last day of your period on a 28 day cycle?
    If you have sex on the last day of your period, or on the day after the last day of your period, are you very likely to get pregnant? What is the percent chance compared to other times? What is the percent chance normally?

    • ANSWER:
      not likely, you aren't ovulating at that time in your cycle. It is normally around 2 weeks after the last day of your period. For women with shorter cycles, it will be a week, for women with longer cycles, it could be three weeks.

    Day 30 of 34 day cycle - feel pregnant but negative test results?
    Hi all,
    I was just wondering if anyone had any advise on symptoms of pregnancy - I am on month 3 of trying to conceive my 2nd baby. I am experiencing lots of signs of pregnancy - tender sore breasts, moodiness, vivid dreams, upset stomach, skin breakouts, bloating and just a general feeling of pregnancy.

    I know its early but I have done a couple of early pregnancy tests which have been negative.
    I would love to hear if anybody else is in the same boat or has had the same symptoms and has in fact been pregnant.

    Im afraid to get my hopes up in case it is my body playing tricks with me as I lwould ove to have another child.

    I have not been on any birth control.

    Thanks for everyones input - I think that I will make an appointment to see my Doc in the morning and see if he can shed more light on the subject. Thanks again to all who submitted their opinions. I will let you know how I got on and fingers crossed it will be good news!

    • ANSWER:
      You def. want to see your doctor as soon as possible. Sometimes you may be pregnant and the pregnancy tests will not show up until a month in.. Especially if this is your 2nd baby. Your doctor will be able to do a sonogram and let you know. Plus, if you aren't pregnant.. But most likely you are pregnant.. That woman's intuition will always be the best to follow. Make an appointment as soon as you can! Best wishes and good luck!

  39. QUESTION:
    Can get pregnant in the ninth day of my cycle?
    i want to figure out when i am firtile...what is the name of a website that i can figure out when i am ovulating? i started my period the 29 of november and i am trying to get pregnant..can i get pregnant 9 days from the first day of my period? my husband is leaving for 6 months and we want a baby..we dont know if it is possible that i can get pregnant in the ninth day of my cycle since they say u have to be in ur 14th day to ovulate...can u pls help me?

    • ANSWER:
      I love fertilityfriend.com, but you need to have been taking your temps or at least charting other signs for a while before you can reliably predict ovulation.

      At 9 days in, you do have a chance to become pregnant if you ovulate on the "typical" day 14. Sperm can live for up to 5 days in your body. However, you may ovulate sooner or later...

      Anytime you have sex, there is a chance of getting pregnant. Just try--it can't hurt.

  40. QUESTION:
    Could I become pregnant the day before my cycle is due?
    I had unprotected sex on the 4th of april my cycle was due the next day on the 5th. My cycle did not come until the 7th and it was 4 days long not my usual 6 days it was dark and ended 2 days early(i never have cramps). I have an extremely regular 24 day cycle. My cycle always last 6 days always until recently.My cycle comes on time ever month it has never been late and i have never came off early. i am 27 yrs. old, me and my soon to be husband want a baby i just don' want to get my hopes up . If we are expecting we will be extremely happy. P.S. I had what I believe was implantation bleeding on the 30th of april that lasted 2 days.since my last cycle i have been very very tired always and im always super hungry(even right after I eat). I have been experiencing on and off a sharp pain on the right side of my lower abdomen and slight cramping but I only feel these things at night.I can no longer fit my jeans. have been having mood swings and I don't cry but I do get sad when I see anything sad. If I am pregnant i estimate from the lmp of the 4/4/10 I should be 7 weeks today. My next cycle is not due until the 30th of may. I tested 3 times at home all were negative. I think I should just wait until the day I miss my next scheduled cycle. This will be my very first pregnancy thats why im trying to get as much information on this topic as possible. All answers will be greatly appreciated. Again we want to be pregnant. thanks for all yur help in advance.

  41. QUESTION:
    is it possible to get pregnant on day 18 of "normal" cycle?
    me and my husband are TTC, we started a little later this month as we were both ill, we had unprotected sex from around day 18 of my cycle (ish). my periods are normally 28days, but last month for some reason it was delayed so last month was 30 day cycle which is unusual for me.

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible if you ovulate late this cycle. I have somewhat irregular cycles, I had 3 in a row that were 28 days, then one was 30, then the one I got pregnant was 31, so I got pregnant on cycle day 17. Good luck!

  42. QUESTION:
    How likely is it to be pregnant after having sex last day of period?
    I know that you can get pregnant any day of your period,
    but if you have sex on the last day of your period (which is day 6, on maybe a 28-30 day cycle)
    how likely is it to be pregnant? (if there was a condom but it slipped off)

    • ANSWER:
      not very likely, if you have a short cycle then you would ovulate closer to the time your period ends but you seem to have a regular cycle. we all have "freak" cycles sometime that cause you to ovulate at weird times (like you said), but your chances are quite low.

  43. QUESTION:
    can i get pregnant on day 8 of my cycle? has anyone?
    is it possible like if i have sex on day 8 of my cycle..and he ejaculates in me..could i still get pregnant if the sperm were able to survive until i ovulated...

    26 day cycle..

    • ANSWER:
      It's possible with you having shorter than average cycles. If your luteal phase is the average 14 days, that would mean that you ovulate around cd 12. And sperm can live occasionally as long as 5 days.

  44. QUESTION:
    Can one get pregnant from sex day before cycle?
    Had unprotected sex on 13th. Cycle started the next day. Today slight bleeding when wipe. Is this ovulation or implantation bleeding? I am due to have cycle again on the 11th of sept.

    • ANSWER:
      yes

      your odds are lower at some stages of the cycle than others but never zero...

  45. QUESTION:
    is it possible to get pregnant on day 6 of menstrual cycle?
    i know the best chances of getting pregnant are mid-cycle (ovulation) but because i was sick my husband and i last had sex 2 weeks ago and now i'm feeling pms-like symptoms but worse then i've ever had them before and some new ones.

    is it possible to get pregnant on day 6 of my menstrual cycle?

    • ANSWER:
      Most women have been taught that ovulation occurs on day fourteen of their cycle. Armed with this, women have intercourse around this day, and avoid intercourse if they wish to avoid pregnancy. Why, then, are so many women not conceiving, when they thought they should be? And why are so many other women conceiving, when they avoid intercourse on the day they thought their ovulation day?

      Ovulation occurring on day is a myth.

      Ovulation can occur as early as day six, and much later than day fourteen. There are many factors involved in the timing of ovulation: Hormones, Stress, Your Health

      Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), estrogen, luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone are the hormones of the female reproductive cycle. Any imbalance in these hormones can impede or prevent ovulation. Follicle stimulating hormone

      The first hormone to appear in a woman's cycle is FSH. FSH begins its peak production at the beginning of the cycle - while the uterus is shedding its lining. FSH prompts a woman's ovaries to produce about 15 to 20 mature eggs. Each of these eggs are encased in its own follicle. These follicles then produce estrogen.

      Estrogen

      Estrogen begins surging through the body roughly three or more days before ovulation. This causes the cervical fluid to be clear, thin and stretchy*. This type of cervical fluid is referred to as egg-white cervical mucus" or "ewcm. EWCM offers the best mode of travel for the sperm to get to the egg.

      The high levels of estrogen prompts the release of luteinizing hormone (LH). The surge of LH causes the egg to actually come out of its follicle. The time period from which ovulation occurs and a woman's menstruation is called the luteal phase (LP). The average length of time during LP is 12 to 16 days long. The LP, however, can be longer or shorter. An LP shorter than 10 days is considered deficient in progesterone, and is unable to maintain a pregnancy. There are measures to increase the LP, such as hormone therapy and/or herbal and vitamin supplements. No matter what day a woman ovulates, she can always tell approximately what day her menstrual cycle will begin, or what day to take a pregnancy test.

      With the collapse of the follicle, a corpus luteum forms

Days Most Likely To Get Pregnant

Fertile Days to Conceive - When Am I Most Likely to Get Pregnant?
In order for you to find out your most fertile days to conceive, you need to begin by knowing how long your menstrual cycles are. You can begin by tracking them on the calendar for a few months. The day that your period starts is when your menstrual cycle begins. Your menstrual cycle stops the day before your next period begins.

Your most fertile days to conceive are when you ovulate. You should have sex a few days before ovulation, and on the day of ovulation. Ovulation occurs 14 days before the start of your menstrual period.

What is Ovulation?

Ovulation happens when a mature egg is released from the ovary, goes down the fallopian tube, and is ready to be fertilized. The lining of the uterus gets thicker to get ready for the fertilized egg. If there is no conception, the uterine lining will be shed along with blood.

The Right Timing

When trying to get pregnant it is a good idea to try time it right. You should have plenty of intercourse on your most fertile days to conceive. You should have sex before during and after ovulation. These are your most fertile days to conceive.

Ovulation Mucus

Women develop a certain type of mucus during her fertile period. This can help you in figuring out when is the right time for sex. The mucus makes a slippery surface which is essential for sperm to survive. You are most likely to get pregnant if you have intercourse when fertile cervical mucus is present. Once you know what your most fertile days to conceive are, you will have a much greater chance of getting pregnant.

I am going to show you how to get pregnant right now. Pregnancy miracle is an online guide for women who are having trouble trying to conceive.
Pregnancy Miracle has helped thousands of women who need help with fertile days conceive.

    • ANSWER:
      The most fertile time for someone to get pregnant is two weeks from the fisrt day of your period. i now know this because i was counting the last day of my period and i now have a precious baby boy!! you count 14 days starting from the first day of your period this is for 28 day cycle. how ever if your cycles are not regular it could be different or harder to conceive.

  3. QUESTION:
    what is the most likely day to get pregnant?
    i had sex the 7th of january got my period the 12, had sex again the 21st the day i was ovulating and the 24th, which one of those days am i most likely to be pregnant on cuz im having pregnancy symptoms or period symptoms, guess we'll see! and if i did, how many weeks would i be? idk how to add that up.

    • ANSWER:
      if the first date of your last period was Jan 12th then you would be 3 weeks, 6 days pregnant. Your due date would be October 19th or there about

      Simply add nine months and seven days to the first date of the last period, and you've got your pregnancy due date.

  4. QUESTION:
    what days are women most likely to get pregnant in a typical 28 day cycle?
    Which days following the beginning of the menstrual period is the possibility of pregnancy likely to be the highest?

    days 0 to 5
    days 6 to 10
    days 11-15
    days 16-20
    days 21-25

    • ANSWER:
      Days 11-20
      Sperm can hang around for a while in the fallopian tube (where conception actually takes place).
      So if the sperm are already there, and an egg shoots in, conception can occur.
      If the egg is already in the fallopian tube and sperm come up to greet it, conception can occur. It takes about 7 days for the egg to travel down the tube into the uterus. After the egg reaches the uterus, chances of conception are dramatically decrease.
      In a 28 day cycle, ovulation would occur on day 14ish. Ovulation occurs approx. 14 days before the start of your period. So if you have a 30 day cycle, ovulation would be on approx. day 16.
      But very few women actually have a 28 day cycle. This is why you track your periods. Once you see a pattern and know how many days long your cycle is, then you count back 14 days from the first day of your period and that's the day you would have ovulated. And you'll know approximately when you need to have sex. On days 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 if you have a 29 day cycle. Some professionals believe that you need to have sex every other day in order to build up a good sperm supply. Some don't hold to that belief, and think that every day is ok.
      Good luck

  5. QUESTION:
    What days am I most likely to get pregnant?
    I started my period on the 11th, and it will probably last 4 days. That's usually accustom. I'm aware that there's a whole cycle process, but I haven't read up on it.

    • ANSWER:
      An OBGYN told me that you should count 14 days after your period starts (counting the day it started) and the 14th and 15th day are the best days to get pregnant. It worked for me. Im pregnant now when i thought i was having trouble getting pregnant.

  6. QUESTION:
    11 Days Late, Most likely Not pregnant, what else could be wrong?
    So I am 11 days late on my period. I really dont think I am pregnant. I have been pregnant twice before and I get REALLY strong symptoms but this time I havnt had any. And the last 2 periods that I did have were short for me. Lasted 3 days but it was light the first day, then really heavy, then basically gone the next day. Thats not normal for me.. But anyway, so I had 2 periods like that then this month I dont get one at all. Im cramping and kind of breaking out and stuff like that like I should be getting my period but I havnt yet.
    I Very Highly doubt that I am pregnant. Since my last period my fiance and I have been extra careful. About 5 days ago I bought a pregnancy test, it had 2 inside it so I took one about 3 hours after I bought them to make sure I had enough pee to take the test. It came out negative.
    So I waited until the next morning to take the other test since I know that your morning pee has the most pregnancy hormone in it, it also came out negative. Like I said I dont feel pregnant at all except for my nipples hurting but ive been getting signs like im going to get my period so it could be from that and not pregnancy.

    What id like to know is what else could be wrong for me to not get a period? I have been stressed out a lot lately, but I am stressed 24/7 anyway. I havnt been gaining or losing any weight or anything like that. What could be wrong? And has this ever happened to you?

    • ANSWER:
      A change in diet or exercise habits can also sometimes cause a period to be late (both examples only).

      The only way to know for sure is to see your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.

  7. QUESTION:
    I often miss my birth control pill by 2 hours most days, how likely is it that I might get pregnant soon?
    Sometimes I miss it by 6 hours, and a couple of days ago, I forgot to take it entirely. Going at this rate of sometimes taking them on time, and somtimes not, how likely is it that I might get pregnant soon?

    • ANSWER:
      If they are regular 'combination' pills, they have quite a wide margin for error. 2 hours shouldn't make any difference, and even 6 hours should be fine. If you miss it completely and take it the next day you have a small risk of preganncy but even then you should still be fine.

      (The progetin-only 'mini-pill' OTOH, has a much smaller margin for error, and you need to take it within a 1-2 hour window each day.)

  8. QUESTION:
    around what days of the month will i most likely get pregnant?
    ok, what does ovulation mean and when does it happen and is it before your period or after when you are most likely to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on your cycle. Do you know how long you usually have between periods? I'm linking you to an ovulation calculator that will help answer your question.

  10. QUESTION:
    what days are you MOST likely to get pregnant?
    i had sex about 12 days after my period and again 4 days before im suppose to start..
    what are my chances

    • ANSWER:
      You're chances are actually high. Most women ovulate around day 14 of their cycle. (the first day you start your period is considered day 1) so if you had sex on day 12 (sperm live for several days in your female tract) chances are high. Oh and the chances are high for a girl baby. I am pregnant w/ twins and I got pregnant this time and the 3 times before using the 14th day method.

  11. QUESTION:
    How do you know which days per month you are most likely to get pregnant?

    • ANSWER:
      About 2-3 days before you ovulate and the day you ovulate. It can happen a little bit before that and even the day after, but that's more rare. On fertilityfriend where I was charting, 92% of pregnancies that
