    You can try, but it's very unlikely you will get pregnant unless you are just about to ovulate, are ovulating, or just ovulated. You are the most fertile two days before, the day of, and two day after you ovulate. That's the best time to try and conceive. It's usually 12-14days after your period ends.

    You can go out and get ovulation tests (they are like pregnancy tests but they're for ovulation).

    If your period is regular and you have kept track of them, you can put them into different sites to track them, such as http://mymonthlycycles.com/ (I use this one, it's my favourite) and if you click up on "Fertility & Symptom Forecast" it will let you know when your last period was, when your next period probably will be, and when you will probably next ovulate, and if you are fertile that day or not.

    Yeah, you can definitely start trying now. While a lot of women ovulate around day 14, many ovulate early. Remember that sperm can live in the body for 3-5 days, so every drop counts! ;)

    Don't be disheartened if it doesn't work out right away. There are many factors involved. First the woman has to be ovulating. Second the sperm has to go alllll the way up the correct fallopian tube and not get destroyed by the evil vagina juices. Then the sperm has to still have the strength and determination to pierce the wall of the egg, and then the egg has to travel all the way down the fallopian tube to the uterus where it makes a frantic grab for the uterine wall. If it's lucky, it will be able to get a firm hold and stay there for many months. :P

    Best of luck and baby dust!

    You can start anytime now! Although you will be most fertile within the next 14 days...but there is no reason not to start trying now. It's also best to wait a day between sex...so have sex every other night.

    Have fun trying! My pregnancy was a surprise, so I wish I would have had the fun of trying and so does my boyfriend. It would be nice knowing that you are trying to have a baby and then you get a positive.

    It could take a couple of months, but just go with it!

    If you have been struggling to fall pregnant, there are some useful tips that may help to increase your chances of conceiving and prevent miscarriages. Read here https://tr.im/aF7Y6

    Follow a healthy, balanced diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as foods that are rich in iron, calcium and folate, essential for reproductive health

    Maintain a healthy weight as being overweight or underweight can affect the body’s hormone levels which in turn makes conception difficult

    Healthy weight loss can increase chances of getting pregnant; however, too much weight loss can affect a healthy pregnancy

    Regular exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling will help keep you fit and active before and during your pregnancy. It will also help get you back into shape after the pregnancy

    Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine as this can make you less fertile

    How long is your period typically? You need to try 11-14 days counting from the first day of your last period. That is when most people are fertile. Have a lot of sex though, you don't have to only do it every other day etc. good luck! Remember a lot of sex during that time frame!

    try www.yourdays.com and put in the first day of your last period and it will tell you your most fertile days.

    I got pregnant both times either on the last day of my period or the day after it finished so you can get pregnant anytime your ovulating. Tell you hubby not to drink mountain dew, wear loose boxers so not to squish his package, and try to have sex every other day. Good luck!

    You probably won't ovulate for a week or so, but you can start trying now. (Sperm will live in your body for several days.)
