You can use an ovulation calendar to work out which date you will probably ovulate. This is very helpful indeed for trying to conceive without the use of drugs or assisted reproductive technologies.

You can either use a free ovulation calendar on the net, or spend a few dollars on a desktop calculator. Some providers will charge you a monthly fee for the use of their calendar, but the end result is the same: they help you to work out the best time to try to conceive.

You might be wondering whether something so easy will give you your desired result (a healthy baby). It might... but then again it might not. It all depends on your own level of fertility.

So, what can you do to increase your chances of success? The first thing to do is to monitor the position and consistency of your cervix. Your cervix changes in position and softness during your cycle. When you're ovulating, your cervix will be higher, and more difficult to reach, and a lot softer than normal.

You can also check the mucus the cervix produces. Most days of the month, its pretty dry, thick and white. However, during your most fertile time of the month, it changes to a clear, viscous fluid, that stretches several centimeters between your fingers and thumb.

One more step you can take in identifying when you're most likely to get pregnant is taking your BBT daily. If you can use a good quality thermometer that can show you your temperature in 2 decimal places, you'll get an accurate idea of when typically ovulate during your cycle.

All of these factors will familiarize yourself with the intricacies of your own menstrual cycle, and assist you in working out when you're most likely to conceive. This is particularly true when you are taking notes over a period of time.

The downside to all this daily effort is that it's most helpful for women whose cycles run like clockwork. If your periods are not regular then you need to do more to help yourself.

The important thing to do if your cycle is not regular is to get your body back into balance, by taking a herbal supplement such as FertilPlus, which can regulate your menstrual cycle and stimulate ovulation. If you have access to a herbalist specializing in reproductive herbology, he or she can help you select which herbs will work best for putting your cycle into balance. One your menstrual cycle has become regular, these tools will work for you, and getting pregnant will be easier with the use of an ovulation calendar.
