I think an important aspect of when to conceive, is to know exactly when you normally ovulate. If you have a 28 day cycle, then it 12-14 days before a period. However if you have shorter or longer cycles, women ovulate either sooner or later, thus perhaps having intercourse at the wrong time. Track your cycles for a few months, and see what your norm is. Also, it seems your ovaries alternate, so one month might be different from the previous month. Find a good book or two that discuss hormonal changes and Fertility issues. One of my favorites is: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. Easy to read and covers a wide range of topics. >No problem. S**t happens and so does stress.
