getting pregnant

Hi people, im looking for any suggestions in how to get pregnant-anything would be helpful. I have heard from a lot of different people about symptoms of pregnancy and im a bit confused. Can someone enlighten me? I can only confuse you, and so will most of the symptoms. In fact, pregnancy is different for almost every woman, and even for a single woman, different pregnancies can be enormously different. Early pregnancy signs can be very similar to most PMS signs, which can be both confusing and frustrating until your period arrives (or not). Before you get pregnant it is important to resort to a basically healthy diet, i.e. try to quit smoking, limit alcohol and caffeine. You will need to take additional folic acid. Also the father-to-be can influence your chance at conceiving, so he will have to live the healthy life too (except for the folic acid). I assume you know exactly 'how' to get pregnant , but don't be worried if it takes a while. On average your chance to get pregnant is only 20% each cycle, so you can aim for on average 6 months of trying. If you don't get pregnant within a year, there may be a medical reason and you can look up a doctor. The reason this chance is so small, is that many things can go wrong in the very early stages. In general, you will never notice, except for a period being a few days late on occasion. If you want more in depth information, google the subject, or go to a library and pick up some books on pregnancy. There is a whole universe of information, also on fertility monitoring. But keep in mind: everybody is different, and you may not experience everything as it is written. Good luck! -- -- Ilse mom to Olaf (07/15/2002) TTC #2 "What's the use of brains if you are a girl?"

It tells you how you can monitor your fertility through your cycle and maximise your chances of conception or avoid conception. Worth a look if you can get a copy. Larissa |

Larissa I second Larissa's recommendation, even if you aren't having problems conceiving. I found the level of understanding that I gained about my body from Weschler's book to be, well, empowering, for lack of a less-overused word. Amazon had a pretty good deal on it when I ordered it. Good luck! Michelle |
