it usually takes about three days for the sperm to reach maturity inside the male testicles.

Other Answers:
You need to have sex in the 11th to 16th day of your cylce
I recomend the more sex the better. Males don't run out of sperm. So each attempt has a chance of sucess. Also the rythem method is somewhat unreliable. Just keep trying till it works. Then practice till next time. :-)

My mommy told me ... to go to sex ed at school. Most articles regarding that issue advise that it's better to do it every second day in order to give a chance for more sperms to be produced, besides that the sperm lives more than 2 days inside a female's body, so if the perfect day is tomorrow and you have sex today, that will still be ok.
go to http://www.mymonthlycycles.com and put in your period info and it will calculate when you will be fertile and when you will ovulate.
It is a great site and it has helped me.
Trying to Conceive ( TTC ) and charting
Written exclusively for Simplymoms.com by: Kristi (pirnq)
So you’re trying to conceive! Congratulations. Many women have tried many things over the years to achieve pregnancy as quickly as possible. One very common way to enhance your chances is to know when to conceive. By monitoring fertility signs, and putting them in a graph or chart form, a woman can know the time when she has the optimal chance to make that baby.
Your body’s natural cycle
Your cycle begins each month with the first day of your period. That’s right, your cycle begins with aunt flo’s visit. This is what is referred to as calendar day 1 (CD1) of your monthly cycle. Around CD7, The pituitary gland releases Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and a little bit of Leutinizing Hormone (LH) that begin to ripen an egg in your follicle. As the eggs ripen over approximately 7 days, they secrete more and more estrogen into the bloodstream. Estrogen causes the lining of the uterus to thicken. It causes the cervical mucous to change. When the estrogen level reaches a certain point, the pituitary will release a large amount of LH. This surge of LH triggers the one most mature follicle to burst open and release an egg at approximately CD14, (remember, all women are different, if we were the same, we wouldn’t have to measure these things). The release of the egg is called ovulation, and the time between ovulation and your next menstrual period is called your luteal phase. The luteal phase lasts for about 14 days. After the egg is released, the LH levels sharply drop off and progesterone levels in the body rise in case your body will need to support a pregnancy. Progesterone causes a rise in body temperature, so if you’re watching your temperatures, you can tell if the egg has been released by an increase in body temperature. If implantation and pregnancy occur, the body temperature will remain high because progesterone continues to be secreted. If implantation and pregnancy do not occur, the progesterone production decreases and the uterus of the lining will shed itself in your monthly menstruation.
So what should I measure to track my cycle?
Well, to get an accurate and useful chart, the following 5 things are key:
When your menstrual bleeding occurs.
Your waking basal body temperature, taken before you get out of bed in the morning.
Record the time you take your temperature each morning
Your data on when you have intercourse
Your cervical fluid consistency

Common Myths About Ovulation
Written for simplymoms.com by: Marianna Pawlowski
Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from the ovary, making its way down the fallopian tubes, awaiting fertilization. By this time, the uterine lining has now thickened in preparation for the fertilized egg. Generally, the egg will live approximately 12-24 hours. If no conception occurs, the unfertilized egg, uterine lining, and additional blood will be shed in the process of menstruation. If conception does occur, the egg will implant in the uterine wall within 6-12 days.

How Endometriosis Affects Conception
By Dr. Mike Berkley
Endometriosis is a common, yet poorly understood disease. It can strike women of any socioeconomic class, age, or race. It is estimated that between 10 and 20 percent of American women of childbearing age have endometriosis.
While some women with endometriosis may have severe pelvic pain, others who have the condition have no symptoms. Nothing about endometriosis is simple, and there are no absolute cures. The disease can affect a woman's whole existence--her ability to work, her ability to reproduce, and her relationships with her mate, her child, and everyone around her. I would definatly use an ovulation predictor. The Conception Store has a great one and will tell you which days you are most fertile. I used it last month and just found out i am pregnant. Also an awsome tip for ya...after your partner cums in you, lay on your back with your hips elevated and then make sure you have an orgasm. When you orgasm your cervix acts like a suction device and sucks up all the sperm into your uterine cavity therefore increasing your chances of conception.Then take a nap in that position. I did this last month too in combination with the ovulation calender and making sure my cervical mucus was abundant and an egg white consistancy. It worked the first month i tried. Hope you have the same luck! Happy baby making to ya!!!! P.S. This is how i concived my first child too (the 1st month i tried)
