When is the best time to get pregnant?
The best or most fertile time to get pregnant is the period of ovulation in your menstrual cycle. This is the time when following an LH surge, a mature ovum is released into the uterus from the follicles. This egg or ovum is ready to be fertilized and stays so for about 12 hours after which it starts degenerating. The best way to determine your most fertile time is to pay attention to your body and learn to spot the physical signs of ovulation, and thereby the best time to get pregnant.
My husband and I are really looking forward to having our next child. I have 2: a 13 year old and a 4 year old. We want just one more. Thing is I’m already 31 and I’ve put having a baby off for years just for nursing school. Now I’m tired of waiting. I graduate in May. Should I wait until I graduate, pass NCLEX, and get a job? Or would getting pregnant in the next couple of months be ok? I don’t know what I have to anticipate after graduation. I don’t want to get any older to have my next baby. I’m already diabetic and have high blood pressure, both of which are under control. I don’t need age against me too. Please give me some ideas. I’m tired of waiting.
