Fertilisation
To have a baby you need to make love. It may seem obvious,
but you stand a greater chance of conceiving if you
make love during your most fertile period, or ovulation, when eggs are released from
your ovaries.
In a normal 28-day cycle, ovulation takes place around
the 14th day, in a 35-day cycle, it occurs on the 21st
day, but fertilisation is also very likely in the days
leading up to ovulation.

Making love
Trying to conceive is the ultimate excuse for making
love whenever and wherever you can! But remember that
you're not very likely to fall pregnant the first time
you try, the spontaneous conception rate (chance of
becoming pregnant) for two healthy, fertile people,
stands at around 15 - 20%, so don't worry if it takes
longer than you expect. one thing is certain however
- the more often you make love, the more likely you
are to conceive. Making

Keep an eye on your weight
Being underweight will harm your chances of conceiving
as much as being overweight. Watch what you eat, but
avoid strict diets which can play havoc with your hormones
and alter your cycle.Stop
