Hi there. There are different ways to predict your most fertile days. I would highly recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I think the author is Toni Wechsler. It teaches you all about using your basal body temperature and cervical fluid changes to pinpoint fertile days. However, I also took the suggestion of someone on this board to just have sex every other day (or three) for a month. That way there's no stress in trying to predict the "perfect" day, as long as you and your partner are up for it. My husband and I did this last month and it worked. I found out I was pregnant just over a week ago on Feb. 9. Unfortunately, I lost the baby late last week. I did my crying over the weekend and I'm trying to stay positive going forward. I know I'll get pregnant again and we've talked about using the "every other day" method as soon as the doctor gives us the go ahead. Hopefully this time, the result will be what I want - a healthy baby. Let me know if you end up trying this and whether it works. Best of luck.
