Being pregnant and having a baby is a huge responsibility, so as long as you are prepared for being pregnant and you are both ready for a baby, then you could plan to conceive at anytime.

The Two Week Wait forums at www.twoweekwait.com are a great place to ask questions to others who are in the same boat as you.

If you would like to get pregnant, your chances are higher if you have sexual intercourse around the time you ovulate. It is very important that you know your body and keep track of your menstruation cycles (how long between each one) during this time as you will ovulate about two weeks after your period (IF you have regular cycles). There are also ovulation kits you could purchase from your local drugstore to use that will help you detect AT THE TIME of normal ovulation if you are ovulating or not. This website http://www.ovulation-calendar.net/ is a good way to pinpoint when you ovulate based on a normal menstruation cycle.

There are other methods that women will use to look out for when they are ovulating such as keeping track of their basal body temperature every morning and charting on www.fertilityfriend.com. Many women also pay attention to cervical mucus (another reason why it is important to keep in tune with your body) however, that step could be skipped if it is something that grosses you out.

Conceiving a baby is more than just having sexual intercourse for most. It is highly recommended that you prepare yourself and make sure you have a good support system (family and friends). Again, the forums at Two Week Wait are useful in seeing what others are experiencing. Visit the Trying to Conceive boards as well as the Pregnancy boards. The Pregnancy boards will give you insight on symptoms and other experiences that might prepare you for what happens after a baby is conceived.
