How long does it take to get pregnant?


This is quite a famous question the that couples are asking when they start out trying to conceive a baby.
There is no simple answer and very subjective to this question because it really depends on individual circumstances like a couples's medical condition, age, and history.

With regard to couples who have intercourse regularly:

About 50% of healthy couples get pregnant after 4-5 months
70% get pregnant after 9 months
85% get pregnant after one year.
But the sperm count has to be good, the woman has to ovulate regularly, and her tubes have to be open.
I would like to suggest you to take the interactive fertility calculator test to find out your personal chances getting pregnant.

The 5 major factors affecting your chance of getting pregnant are:

1.Ovulation. With irregular or no ovulation (anovulation), you cannot get pregnant.
2.Mother's age. The older you get the lower your chances getting pregnant. Old and bad quality eggs make getting pregnant more difficult. The older the woman is, the longer it takes to get pregnant.
3.Sperm count. The less sperm he has, the longer it may take to get pregnant. With an abnormal count (that is, below 20 million/cc) your chances getting pregnant are quite low.
4.Patency of your fallopian tubes. They must be open and working well for you to get pregnant.
5.Timing of sex: You must make love regularly every weeks 2-3 times and especially during the 4-5 fertile days and the day of ovulation.
If each of these five factors is OK, then your chance of becoming pregnant in each ovulatory cycle is about 25-30%. Your chances are lower or even zero when even one or more of these factors is abnormal. About 50% of couples get pregnant within four to five months of trying to conceive, about 75% of couples will conceive during the first eight months, and up to 85% of couples will conceive within the first year of TTC. The ability to conceive in any given cycle falls after age 30. Keep in mind that with irregular menstrual cycles it may take longer to conceive because it's harder to figure out when you're ovulating. If you haven't got pregnant after a year of trying (six months if you are over 35), you may want to talk with your doctor about your options.

On the other hand,you should consider eating a healthy food in order to be in best condition for couples have an optimised fertility.Daily exercise is very important for the prevention of disease, but it is also important for conception. When fat collects around the ovaries, they are less likely to perform to the best of their ability. Just because the weight of a person is not in the obese category, does not mean that fat is not collecting on the inside of the body around the organs. Exercise helps to burn fat and improve overall health which is directly linked to conceiving. Men need to exercise too! Get your men to know this fact.

For those who do exercise regularly, is your diet keeping your body healthy and strong? A Harvard study revealed a link between diet choices and fertility. According to the study, women who consumed slowly digesting carbs, a healthy balance of good and bad fats and plant based proteins were more likely to conceive than their unhealthy eating counterparts. While the fast food eater is asking how long does it take to get pregnant, you could be asking how long until baby is born with a healthy diet change. A healthy diet can also improve sperm viability.
