If you are attempting to get pregnant, a pregnancy calculator can assist you in your quest. By paying attention to what your body is telling you, you will be able to calculate when you can become pregnant.

Some of the things that you can do to help calculate when you are most fertile is to watch for the changes in your body temperature, changes in your vaginal mucus, or you can even purchase an ovulation predictor kit that reads the hormone levels in your urine.

Being able to predict ovulation will help you to know when you should have intercourse so that you can conceive. Sperm is only able to fertilize your egg for three days, however, after ovulation an egg is only has the capacity to be fertilized for 24 hours before your body sheds it. So being able to calculate when you ovulate will greatly improve the odds of your getting pregnant.

Ovulation kits

If you are someone who has a consistent and normal menstrual cycle, you will be able to figure out when you ovulate by watching the changes in your body and marking them on your calendar. However, if your period is irregular, if you don't notice the changes in your body, or if you would like to try another option, you can buy an ovulation kit. There are two types of kits; an ovulation predictor kit reads your LH hormone level in your urine. The other type of kit monitors your perspiration changes. Both work well and can assist you in discovering when you ovulate.

Be sure read all of the instructions inside each kit. For the ovulation kit that uses urine, you simply hold a stick in the stream of your urine; wait a couple of minutes, and then you can read your results. The kit does a great job and is 98% accurate. The OV-Watch is a small computer that you wear while you are asleep. The chloride in your sweat increases during ovulation. This kit detects the chloride change NS and is only 85% accurate.

By keeping a pregnancy calendar you will have a pretty good idea of your ovulation time. The changes in your cervical mucus is a good indicator that ovulation is occurring. Your body temperature slightly rising is another indicator, but knowing the signs of ovulation should not be used as birth control so if you don't want to get pregnant, it's best to use a tried and true method of birth control.
