Pregnancy Statistics

You might find the following statistics comforting or just very informative:



· Just 25% of couples actively trying to conceive become pregnant the first cycle.

· 60% become pregnant in the first six months of trying to conceive.

· 75% of couples become pregnant within nine months.

· 90% of couples experience pregnancy within 18 months.



While pregnancy is something that you’d probably like to happen sooner rather than later, when you look at these statistics you should feel some comfort. 90% of couples actively trying to get pregnant will experience that joy within the next year and a half. That sounds like a long time, but a planned pregnancy is something worth waiting for, whether it’s one month or eighteen.



The key to getting pregnant is to know your body and understand your fertility cycle. Knowing the signs and signals your body gives you every month as to your fertility will help guide you on your way to conception. If you are in doubt as to whether you are proceeding in a successful fashion, you can always talk with your doctor. Just remember that they are not likely to intervene until 12 or 18 months have passed.
