A key component to being able to successfully get pregnant is knowing when you’re fertile. By knowing when you’re fertile, you can play your attempts at conception accordingly. There are a number of tools out there that you can use to help track your fertility, including ovulation kits, ovulation calendars and even software that is able to help predict when the best time is for you to try to get pregnant.

There are a few common things that you can look at in order to track your fertility. The first one is probably the easiest, but it only fits your situation if you have a regular cycle. If you have a regular 28-day cycle, you will ovulate on the 14th day after your period starts. That means you should time your efforts at conception around that date, starting a day or two before.

Many women don’t have a consistent cycle, however. For them, it becomes more of a challenge. They might have to rely on things like tracking their basal body temperature or charting their cervical mucus.

Your basal body temperature is the temperature in your body when you’re at rest. The best time to take your basal body temperature is the first thing in the morning. Just before you ovulate, you’ll notice a spike in your basal body temperature. If you chart the chances in your basal body temperature from one month to the next, you’ll be able to create a relatively accurate picture of when you’re about to ovulate, and can use that information to time your attempts at conception.

Cervical mucus is a discharge your body makes that’s ostensibly supposed to help with conception. It will change in volume, color and consistency throughout your monthly cycle. During ovulation, it changes to roughly the color and consistency of an egg white, and it will be more plentiful than at other times during your cycle. Here again, tracking your cervical mucus can help with tracking your fertility.
