Getting pregnant is not as easy as it seems
Human beings have one of the lowest reproduction rates of all species on Earth. The chance of a young and apparently fertile couple achieving a pregnancy after having unprotected sex for one month is only 17%. This percentage drops considerably when the woman is over 35 years old.
Only 25% of women manage to get pregnant during the first month
It usually takes about six to eight months to get pregnant, depending on age as well as other factors. Only 25% of women manage to get pregnant during the first month; 60% get pregnant after two or three months and for most women, 85%, it may take up to a year.
This is why you should not be alarmed or feel under any pressure; there is no need to be in a hurry. If you have been trying for over a year (6 months if you are over 35), it is advisable to visit your doctor to rule out any fertility problems, either yours or your partner’s.
