Trying to Become Pregnant Using Ovulation Tests

How Ovulation Tests Can Help You Get Pregnant

It makes sense to plan for pregnancy and to prepare yourself and your partner for the exciting journey ahead. Before you actively start trying for a baby, it is generally a good idea to allow at least three months for your body to achieve peak pre-conception fitness. Sticking to a healthy diet and taking regular exercise will help you to achieve this. A healthy lifestyle will greatly improve your chances of conceiving without delay and of having a healthy child.

Diet

A balanced diet should include plenty of good quality carbohydrates such a wholewheat bread, rice and potatoes. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables should be part of your daily diet. Avoid pre-prepared and processed foods. Take steps to cut down on your consumption of animal fats – try and use semi-skimmed milk or low fat cheeses. Try and stick to regular meals.

Smoking and alcohol are both bad news when it comes to trying to conceive. Smoking reduces fertility. In men it reduces their sperm count. If you are trying for a baby, the best advice is to give up or try and cut down. Alcohol can damage both sperm and the ovum so it’s best to only drink in moderation.

Exercise

If you don’t already, try and take 20 minutes exercise at least three times per week. A gentle exercise programme can include jogging, swimming or going to the gym. Don’t overdo it though; strenuous training or dieting may reduce fertility. Exercising whilst pregnant has also been proved to help your children avoid obesity in future life.

Starting to Try for a Baby

As you start trying it will be important to have intercourse during your most fertile period. A woman is fertile when she is ovulating – when an egg has been released from the ovum. Generally this will be around 14 days after the first day of her last period and this fertile period will last for about three days.

You can roughly guess when ovulation will take place but a more precise prediction can be achieved by using an ovulation test. Ovulation tests can be used to accurately narrow down the period when you ovulate – increasing chances of conception a great deal. Ovulation Tests are particularly helpful if you don’t have a regular 28-day cycle.

How Do Ovulation Tests Tell When I’m Fertile?

Ovulation tests work by identifying Luteinising Hormone (LH) in urine. Testing over a number of days, a woman can watch as LH levels grow and peak. When this point is reached, known as ovulation surge, a fertile egg will be released within 24-48 hours.
