Conceiving a baby successfully means understanding the best conception positions
your monthly reproductive cycle and your overall health. Conceiving a baby and pregnancy are wonderful events that are complex but very satisfying and exciting. Here are tips on the best conception positions and getting pregnant:

1. Know your fertile time - in general
ovulation occurs about 14 days before your next period begins. For women with cycles of 28 days
that could make day #14 your most fertile for getting pregnant (day #1 being the first day that your last period began). If your have a 30-day cycle
day #16 may be the best time to go for it.

2. Monitor your basal body temperature - the slight elevations in your body temperature when you awake each day signal your most fertile time. When conceiving a baby is the goal
use a basal thermometer that is accurate enough to detect these slight changes in your body temperature.

3. Monitor your cervical mucus - ovulation causes a change in the appearance and consistency of cervical mucus. By checking yourself each day
you'll be able to see the 'egg-white-like' vaginal discharge that indicates ovulation and your most fertile time for conceiving a baby.

4. The best of the conception positions is the missionary position - the time-proven 'man-on-top' position works with gravity to encourage semen flow toward the uterus that maximizes the chance of a sperm uniting with the egg
causing conception.

5. Use the rear-entry position - another of the conception positions is the 'doggy-style'
which allows your partner to deposit semen close to your cervix.

6. Use the side-by-side position - again
this position allows your partner's sperm to start their journey as near your cervix as is possible. For all three conception positions mentioned
after ejaculation
you can remain on your back with your legs bent a few minutes to further maximize semen flow toward the uterus.

7. Adopt a healthy lifestyle - this is one of the most important tips for conceiving a baby. Healthy living includes a sensible diet
nutritional supplements
adequate quality sleep
managing stress
some exercise and weight management. Another of the conceiving a baby tips is to simply relax and enjoy your partner. Enjoy the closeness you'll experience with someone you truly care about.

And your desire for becoming pregnant and conceiving a baby will have even more importance to you if it means you'll be taking better care of yourself and your partner. Not only does that mean a more healthy you
it also means you'll increase the chances of having a healthier baby. That's the kind of beginning you want to provide that new person that you know is going to be a star.
