Dr Chris Steele discusses with Sian Welby how to work out when you have the best chance of conception.
First of course both you and your partner have to be fertile. Check that first.
If so then the woman needs to work out when she is at her most fertile. This is 14 days BEFORE the start of her next period.
Don't worry, you can use our handy online fertility calculator to do this at http://www.thefamilygp.com/fertility-calculator.aspx
You should try to conceive 2 days before this date, on this date and 2 days after it. This is your window of opportunity.
Another good tip is to lie down after intercourse. If you get up or got to the toliet too soon afterwards, you may lose the seminal fluid.
