My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 months now and I just got my period on Thursday. Ive been trying to track my fertile days and it just hasnt been working. Any tips? Oh, and my period this time around has large clumps of blood. Is this serious as it is not normal for me?
Hi, Normally in period of 28-30 days cycle, ovulation will occur around at 14th to 16th day of cycle. You can count first day when bleeding is started. So if you have normal 28th to 30th day cycle then ovulation occurs at 14th to 16th day of cycle. Now sperm can live in female genital tract for 4-6 days and ovum can live around 12-24 hours after ovulation. So 10th to 20th day of cycle is fertile day of period. You can do sex daily or alternated day on fertile period of cycle. Do full penetrative sexual intercourse by putting pillow on back. Clumps of blood could be due to endometrial tissue that will shed and will come out during period. If you have normal period then nothing to worry about that. If you can not become in next few months then both you consult infertility specialist for detailed evaluation. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Best regards,
