my period is very short now (2 days), would it be difficult to get pregnant?

However short your period is, it is important that you ovulate in order to conceive. There are several sings of ovulation. You menstrual calendar, a twinge of pain or a series of cramps in your lower abdominal area (usually localized to one side — the side you're ovulating from), your basal body temperature, position of the cervix (During the beginning of a cycle, your cervix — that neck-like passage between your vagina and uterus that has to stretch during birth to accommodate your baby's head — is low, hard, and closed. But as ovulation approaches, it pulls back up, softens a bit, and opens just a little, to let the sperm through on their way to their target.) The other cervical sign you can watch for is the appearance, increase in quantity, and change in consistency of cervical mucus. Of course ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) are able to pinpoint your date of ovulation 12 to 24 hours in advance by looking at levels of luteinizing hormone, or LH.
