Track your Ovulation Cycle

The first thing you will want to do is track your ovulation cycle. This is something you can use either a basal thermometer or an ovulation predictor kit to accomplish. With a basal thermometer, you will need to check your temperature daily with a specialized thermometer called a basal thermometer. When you notice a spike in your temperature, you will know that you are ovulating.

 

When you do choose this method, it is important that you take your temperature first thing in the morning. You will also need to avoid moving around a lot before you take your temperature. It is best to take your temperature before you even get out of bed, so keep your thermometer and tracking calendar within arm’s reach.

An ovulation predictor kit is also a great item to use to track ovulation. You will use one kit each morning as you would a pregnancy test. This test will then look for a certain hormone that is only present when you ovulate.

When to Have Intercourse

Naturally, having intercourse when you are ovulating is the best option. However, you should schedule it every other day when you are ovulating. The reason this is important is that having sex every day could diminish the amount of sperm that is present in your partner’s semen. By having intercourse every other day, you can maximize the amount of sperm that is present and make it more likely that you will conceive.

When you do have intercourse, consider using a lubricant, like Pre-seed that mimics the body’s natural cervical mucus. This mucus helps protect the sperm and get it to the egg as quickly as possible.

If you are struggling to conceive, it is important to talk to your doctor after you have been trying for over a year. At this point, additional tests may be required that will help you conceive. However, if you are over the age of 35, you should see your doctor after six months.

With this information, you can make sure you are in the best health to conceive your second child. Following it carefully could help you have the best chance of becoming pregnant with your second baby.
