    Try not to get too discouraged. Most couples will become pregnant within a year of actively trying. For some, it will happen pretty quickly, for others it can take more than a year.

    Average ovulation will occur about 12-16 days before the next period is due, regardless of the length of your cycle. It can be a good idea to start using the ovulation tests a few days sooner than the instructions suggest, and continue a couple of days longer, simply because some women will naturally ovulate a bit sooner or later than the norm.


    Many women will also try tracking their basal body temp with charting and watching for changes in cervical mucus. Some women find these ways of getting an idea of when ovulation might occur helpful, others find them frustrating.


    If you determine when you are most likely to be ovulating, plan to have frequent intercourse for a few days leading up to suspected ovulation through the day after. If you aren't able to get a pretty good idea of your most fertle time, try to have intercourse at least every two to three days throughout your cycle.


    Also, it is wise for both you and your partner to make any lifestyle changes that you know would be healthy. This includes you taking a daily multivitamin that has at least 400 mcg of folic acid.


    Wishing you a smooth journey!

    The most important is the "How often should we have sex?" question. Every 2-3 days. That ensure for optimal sperm flow from your husband to yourself. Doing that, from when your period ends to when it starts again will ensure the best chance of impregnation. It takes a certain serious of events for a pregnancy to take and it can take several months to almost a year for a pregnancy to take hold. If it takes longer then that then I would consults a doctor and get yourselves checked out.

    I would skip the ovulation kits for now and just make sure you're having frequent sex. Trying to nail an encounter on your ovulation day is frustrating and kind of takes the fun out of the entire conception process. I would save your money and just have fun making the baby.

    1 month?? That's nothing.

    Ovulation kits are just a guide, they are no guarantee of when ovulation occurs or what your fertile days are. Just relax and enjoy the process. If nothing happens after 6 months, then you can talk to your OB/Gyn and make get yourself and husband tested.

    The thing is, as noted before you must have sex before ovulation, about 2 or 3 days, since it takes that 2 to 3 days for the sperm to reach the egg.

    So the ovulation kits help you track, over several months when you ovulate so you can guess at the next months to time sex better.

    Also a medical checkup to determine any issues is not a bad idea either.

    Along with that, proper diet, moderate exercise, For the man, some overlooked things could be underwear that fit too tight, using a hot tub can also lower effect on the mail.

    Our doctor always told us every 3 days, was a good number to have sex, but some do say 2 to 3 days.
