This should of course be targeted at the time of ovulation, but the couple should not be so obsessed by a ‘calendar’ requirement. Most couples who have intercourse 3-4 times a week will be able to catch the time of ovulation and establish pregnancy; but the timing of intercourse is important to couples who live away from each other.

This has not been proved. It has been suggested that intercourse during menses might increase tubal activity and increase the backflow of the menstrual cycle through the tubes and thus increase the risk of endometriosis. However, there are no statistics to bear this out. A biopsy of the lesion does document the presence of endometrial tissue. I believe that the gross appearance of endometriosis and visual inspection of the pelvis is adequate and accurate for diagnosis of endometriosis.

To increase the chance of conception, it is best to have intercourse the day of the LH surge as well as following three days after. A faint line (or a faint positive test band) does not indicate a positive result for an LH surge. While the presence of a faint line on a pregnancy test may indicate a positive result, a faint line on an OPK is always negative. Please refer to the images on our instruction pages to interpret results.

A woman's menstrual cycle is not the same thing as her period. A period is just the days when a woman is actually having menstrual bleeding. Her cycle is the whole time from the beginning of one period until the beginning of the next period. A woman's menstrual cycle begins the first day of her period. It ends just before she starts her next period. So the first day of her period is Day 1 of her cycle.

Only women capable of a menstrual cycle can get pregnant naturally. The body makes chemicals and proteins called neurotransmitters and hormones which create the menstrual cycle. The neurotransmitters from the brain tell the pituitary, an organ found in the brain, to make and release protein signals that go to the ovary where an egg is developed. Estrogen is made by the ovary to help the egg develop and after the egg is released (ovulation) progesterone is made by the ovary.

Menstruation is part of the menstrual cycle, which prepares your body for pregnancy each month. A cycle is counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next period. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Cycles can range anywhere from 21 to 35 days in adults and from 21 to 45 days in young teens.

Yes - having a regular menstrual cycle is very important if you are trying to get pregnant. We include many simple, yet powerful exercises in the CAP that you can do to help regulate your cycle.

Not necessarily, each patient’s circumstances will be different and the testing and treatment plan will vary depending on a variety of factors. We do however, understand most patient’s desire to get started and will do all we can to obtain the information we need to prepare for treatment as quickly as your situation allows.

In the first half of the cycle, levels of estrogen (the “female hormone”) start to rise and make the lining of the uterus (womb) grow and thicken. At the same time, an egg (ovum) in one of the ovaries starts to mature. At about day 14 of a typical 28-day cycle, the egg leaves the ovary. This is called ovulation. After the egg has left the ovary it travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Hormone levels rise and help prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy.

Yes, you can. And sex doesn't have to be full intercourse to get pregnant. Close genital contact without penetration could put you at risk of an unplanned pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection. Remember, some STIs may not have symptoms. Your health is important. If you are having any kind of sexual contact including oral sex, you owe it to yourself to have an STI check-up. For women, it is also very important to have a routine Pap test.

Once the basic tests have been run and interpreted by your GP, you'll be in a better position to discuss with him or her where to go next. It might be a case of trying for a further few months and timing sex more carefully around ovulation, or you may feel the time is right to be referred on to a specialist fertility centre.

Intercourse closest to the time before ovulation and within 6 hours after ovulation gives you your best chances for conception.

To increase your chances of getting pregnant, it is recommended that you have intercourse as soon as you start to see the ferning pattern begin.

The follicular phase begins with the first day of menses (menstrual flow) and continues to approximately day 13 or 14 when ovulation takes place. During the follicular phase, FSH and LH are slowly rising in preparation for the LH surge (very high level of LH) at the time of ovulation. FSH is stimulating the growth of follicles in the ovary. Estrogen and progesterone are relatively low throughout this time but slowly begin to rise toward the end of this phase.

Donors should not engage in sexual intercourse while taking the fertility medication and should not resume sexual activity until they have experienced their first menstrual cycle following the egg retrieval procedure. Engaging in sexual activity during this time can drastically increase your chances of getting pregnant.

You can get pregnant at any time during your monthly cycle -- the start of one period to the beginning of the next. Although people talk about a "safe time of the month," it's hard to tell when this is, for many reasons. Your most fertile time of the month is when you're ovulating (producing an egg), but most women aren't aware when this is happening.

Yes. Many studies have shown that women with endometriosis begin their menstrual cycle at a significantly younger age than women without the condition. Endometriosis is more prevalent in women who have a regular cycle than in women who have an irregular cycle. Another interesting characteristic is that patients with endometriosis have a shorter interval between their periods (less than 27 days). Severe menstrual cramps are also seen much more frequently in endometriosis.

It regulates the quantity of menstrual flow to a regular menstrual cycle. During treatment, menstruation may temporarily become irregular.

A woman ovulates about two weeks before the start of her period. But most cycles are at least slightly irregular, so be careful!

PMS-H (H = hyperhydration) is characterized by weight gain (greater than three pounds), abdominal bloating and discomfort, breast tenderness and congestion, and occasional swelling of the face, hands, and ankles. These symptoms are due to an increased fluid volume, secondary to an excess of the hormone aldosterone which causes increased fluid retention.

The frequency of intercourse generally should be that which the couple considers most enjoyable. However, during the time of the moth when ovulation takes place, the most advantageous frequency of intercourse is every other day (i.e., every 48 hours). The reason for this interval is that sperm should survive for 48 hours within the woman's reproductive tract and the egg should be subject to impregnate for 12 to 24 hours.

Ovulation is likely to occur within 24-36 hours. This is your most fertile time. Sexual intercourse within this time frame is advised. There are many factors that can affect your ability to become pregnant. It can take normal, healthy couples many months to achieve a pregnancy and often you may need to use the test kit for 3-4 months before achieving pregnancy. If pregnancy is not achieved after 3-4 months, you and your partner should consult your physician.
