Answer

To increase chances of becoming pregnant, women should monitor their body�s fertile time period - the time that sperm can survive within a woman�s reproductive tract until ovulation and fertilization can occur. A woman�s most fertile period is typically several days (usually no more than 5-6) ending on the day after ovulation. Because menstrual cycles vary from one woman to another and even from one cycle to the next in the same woman, identifying a woman�s fertile time period can be challenging. However there are several methods a woman can use to determine when she is most likely to conceive:

* Calendar - A woman can chart her menstrual cycle on a calendar to determine the days she is most likely to ovulate.

* Basal Body Temperature (BBT) - The BBT is a woman�s temperature first thing in the morning, before getting up or doing any activity. In a normal menstrual cycle, a woman�s BBT rises almost one degree from just after ovulation through the beginning of her next cycle.

* Cervical Mucus - Most of the time the cervix produces a mucus that protects the body from sperm, bacteria and other organisms. For several days each month, the consistency of the mucus changes to allow sperm to enter the fallopian tubes. By monitoring these changes, a woman can determine her fertile time period.
