Pregnancy and Fertility Calendar

If you're trying to conceive, you've probably already heard about the "fertile window" - those 4-5 days around ovulation during which conception is possible.  

Whether you are just starting out on your TTC journey or you've been trying for a while now, you should not overlook the importance of knowing when you ovulate. On the one hand, if you and your partner don't have sex during that window, the sperm will have no egg to fertilize.  On the other, making love every day you're not menstruating can be exhausting and lead to vaginal dryness.  Studies show that pregnancy is most likely to occur when couples have sex every day of the fertile window - and to do that, it helps to know when you ovulate by using a fertility calendar!

While there are many different ways to track ovulation, from the pee-on-a-stick method to fancy saliva hormone monitors, one of the cheapest, easiest, reusable methods is using a fertility calculator or fertility calendar.  There are free online versions, like the one offered on Ovulation-Calculator.com, but personally, I prefer having a physical chart to look at. One with fantastic reviews is the Pregnancy and Ovulation Wheel from FairhavenHealth.com.


Unlike other paper fertility calendars, this Pregnancy and Ovulation Wheel can be adjusted for irregular cycles and it doubles as a pregnancy calendar.  It tells you your peak fertile day, when to expect implantation and missed periods, and when to start taking pregnancy tests. After becoming pregnant, you can use it to remind yourself of important dates to see the doctor, and it gives you an idea of fetal weight and stage. Plus, it's cheap and can be reused the next time you or a friend is trying to get pregnant. This is one of the best fertility calendars I've seen to date! 

Good luck, and have fun!

PS If you've used this or any other fertility calendar, feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think!

  2. Ovulation calendars only bypass off the dates you plug in, they don't attempt your physique for something. in case you adjust the dates, the fertile dates exchange. they are not reliable if your cycle is weird and wonderful. Ovulation predictor kits are greater reliable because of fact they actually verify for a hormone on your physique, your LH surge. i could discover out first if your cycles are prevalent, do your sessions come at prevalent intervals? Then use the o.ok.s for this reason. in case you have an weird and wonderful cycle, ovulation calendars in basic terms isn't lots help. you additionally can chart your BBT to verify once you ovulate. in fact looking on your age and how long you have been attempting, it is beneficial to look for advice out of your physician.check out this site: https://calculator-online.net/ovulation-calculator/

  6. What is ovulation?

    Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman’s ovaries, pushed down the fallopian tube, and is made available to be fertilized. Every woman is born with millions of immature eggs that wait to be released
