I've been trying to get pregnant for about 8 months now. I hate playing this waiting game. I get very anxious to get results every month but when my period comes I feel disappointed. What can I do to boost my chances of getting pregnant? This month, for the first time in 8 months, I checked to see the days I would be ovulating. I did have sex 2 days before ovulating and also a day after. Since this is my first time actually keeping track of ovulating I hope I'm successful in conceiving! I'm waiting 2 weeks now to get some results. My next period should be on feb 14 . I really hope I conceive!
