Definitely stop smoking now. The healthier the body is the easier it is to conceive plus the effects of smoking take awhile to leave your body and could still harm your child even if you stop the day you find out.
Also, start paying close attention to your body. Go to a Walgreens or Walmart and buy a Basal Body thermometer and take your temp. FIRST thing in the morning before you get out of bed. Before you ovulate (drop the egg) you should experience a drop in temp. and a noticeable increase the next day.
Check your cervical mucus daily. This means using a finger or two to check the inside of your vagina and see what the discharge feels like. After your period you will be mostly dry or sticky but closer to Ovulation your mucus should get wetter and thinner--- this means you are most likely fertile and should have unprotected sex.
You can find out more about this stuff online or by asking your doctor. If you decide to chart your basal body temperature, ******************* is an awesome website for you to keep track of your daily temps. It will use your temps. and mucus changes to calculate when you Ovulate.
stop stressing, take folic acid it will happen when you least expect it
I'm hoping we can get pregnant soon because he is in the military and is getting ready to deploy in January and we really want to get pregnant before then. I know this may sound weird but are there any suggestions on things i can do that might help my chances? I do smoke currently but planned on quitting as soon as I do get pregnant, but I have heard that quitting smoking now could increase my chances.. I guess just shoput out some ideas if you have any at all please.
Thanks,
Aly
sorry i think it is unlikely also...dont give up....chin up.....GOOD LUCK
It is highly unlikely especially if both tests said negative. The best time to get pregnant is about 2.5-2 weeks before you start your period. Don't give up because it can take healthy couples up to a full 12 months before conceiving. Good luck!
all of these techniques can help you increase your chances of conception, but the best thing to do is have loving, regular intercourse with your husband every few days during your cycle and sooner or later if you have no fertility problems you should conceive :).
Good luck
