When you are trying to get pregnant you want to know when your most fertile time will be so that you can time intercourse. Women are fertile for a few days out of the month, but the days before and during ovulation are the most fertile. You might use the method of counting days to determine when you are fertile, but since all women are different this method is not exactly reliable. There are body changes that you can look out for, though, that will really help you determine if you are ovulating or if ovulation is about to occur. For example, your cervical mucus will change before and during ovulation. If you learn how to determine what its consistency is during ovulation then that will be an important sign for you regarding ovulation. You may also check your basal body temperature.

Your basal body temperature will change during ovulation. However, women who track their body temperature will not actually know before they ovulate but rather afterward. This does not help for that particular month as far as conception goes, but basal body temperatures help women see if their cycle is consistent from month to month. If so, it will allow women to predict their most fertile days month to month.

Women monitoring their cervical mucus will need to know that before ovulation they should expect almost no discharge. This occurs right before your period. This period of time is not fertile and most women will not be able to conceive. In the days prior to ovulation there is a small chance of pregnancy. This mucous is most and cream or white in color. It should break apart easily when stretched between thumb and pointer finger. In the days just before ovulation and during ovulation the chance of pregnancy is very high. The mucous during this stage will look like egg whites. There will be a lot off mucus; it will be thin and quite clear. This type of mucous is tied very closely to ovulation and women should look out for it to know their most fertile days.
