While some women are lucky enough to become pregnant without much effort, others have to be very astute in following strict guidelines given by the doctor. Tracking the ovulation chart is an important step in attaining pregnancy.
Knowing when you ovulate and deciding the time for intercourse is the first step towards pregnancy. Tracking the ovulation chart can be done in many ways. Read on to understand more about ovulation and identifying the most fertile days of the month.
How To Track Ovulation Chart To Get Pregnant
Talk To A Doctor
Before you actually try for pregnancy, it is important to talk to your doctor and stop your contraceptive pills if you are on one. A safe gap has to be put between the stopping of your pills and starting your pregnancy plan so that your body has enough time to get back on track.
Count Your Days
The simplest way to identify your days of ovulation is to count. This method is best followed by women who have a regular and very predictable cycle. Normally, all women ovulate from the 11th to the 14th day when you must have intercourse and you must continue to do so until the 15th day. An ovulation kit will help you predict the days accurately.
Cervical Mucous
Checking the cervical mucous is another way to predict your days of ovulation. The cervical mucous on the days that you ovulate will be very clear like an egg white, stringy and abundant. When you see this change in the appearance of cervical mucous, it means that you are ovulating.
Basal Body Temperature
Checking the subtle temperature changes in the body or basal body temperature is a sure way to keep track of your days of ovulation. A basal body thermometer can be used for this purpose.
The temperature of the body has to be measured every day in the morning as soon as you wake up. It is important to measure the temperature at the same time every day to correctly assess the days that you ovulate. The days that you ovulate are the days when your temperature is slightly reduced than the other days.

Mild Cramping
Many women report that they feel a slight cramping in the lower abdomen while they ovulate. This is not very severe and ignored by all women. But if you notice, this mild cramping will always be around the days that you ovulate and would be felt almost at the same time every month if you have a regular menstrual cycle.
Scheduling The Intercourse
The intercourse must be scheduled on the days of ovulation to up your chances of pregnancy. Once you have identified your days of ovulation, schedule your physical reunion on the first two days of ovulation. Before you do this, your partner must ensure that he has preserved his sperm for two days to make it strong enough for pregnancy.
Try your union two days before you ovulate and on the first two days of ovulation. Again leave a gap of two days and try again. After intercourse it is important to leave the sperm inside the vagina for at least an hour. Elevate your bottom slightly to allow the sperms to swim through.
