pregnancy basics

1. Women ovaluate once per month (menstrual cycle) and at that time ( a few days) the probability of getting pregnant is highest at that period. So if you have ic 2-3 times per month it should be sufficient
2. The intake of folic acid does not matter
3. You are most fertile about two weeks after your last period started, about in the middle. If you have irregular periods it is quite hard to determine the time of ovulation. One strategy is to have sex all the time - at least it is nice.
4. Tiredness, breast getting swollen (but that also happen before you get your period), nausea. The most significant symptom is that your period is not starting when it should.
5. "Deep" washing (ie showering inside vagina) should be avoided but otherwise the washing of the outer part does not matter.

 

Hi,

You can only get pregnant by having sex around the period of ovulation.This could give you max-4-6 days window.A sperm can survive in the body for max 5 days,however majority of the pregnancies are noted around 2 days before ovulation to the day of ovulation.So it makes sense that you time ur baby dance very near to the day of ovulation.
Folic should be continued throughout the cycle irrespective of when you have sex.Also try and include omega3.8.9.
Always wash the outsides of vagina and never flush the water insides.

 

You can also consult an Ob-gyn just to get the basic tests done before TTC.
It is advisable to start taking prenatal vitamins with folic acid. You can start tracking ovulation using ovulation predictor kits, or by basal body temperature.
If your cycles are not regular then finding the ovulation window becomes even more important.
