I've read once that a woman is only fertile for 48 hours each month. I found out that I was ovulating the two days before my period -- that's 3 weeks after my period!!!
((My doctor had told us that most women are fertile as you said -- 14 days later -- so at first she had recommended we try every other day during that second week. We tried for a year and a half. No babies!))
I finally stopped obssessing, and just followed my friend's advice.......red wine, no stress and whatever will be will be, ca sera sera.
Two days before my period, you know when you are a little puffy & kinda not in the mood -- that's my particular time.
Go figure? I timed my last child exactly for that time......I'd like one more -- but after three, I think we are done now.
Destress.
Walking is good all the time for both of you.
Red wine helps.
De-focus on wanting "a baby."
And change your "date night" calendar
to see what happens.
p.s.
AVOID bubble baths & hot tubs -- according to one friend of mine who was trying for her second and not becoming pregnant.......she kept taking bubble baths and she thinks
that prevented her pregnancy.....she read something "scientific" about needing the mucous that others are mentioning.............
BUT
ABOVE ALL --
destress -- try yoga, walking, mini-vacations....take your mind off of it.....and above all -- have FUN with your hubbie.......two children definitely changes your life & marriage after having one child..........(mostly good
but definitely more work!)
