Even if everything is working well, you have only a one in four or five chance of getting pregnant in each cycle.
So, on an average it will take a couple in their early twenties about five cycles or months. Women in their early thirties will get pregnant, on average, after nine months.
One in 10 couples without any problems will take more than a year to conceive; one in 20 (5%) will take more than two years. Some couples will be lucky and get pregnant straight away, others will still be trying a year later and it still doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong.
