Pregnancy may occur fairly fast for some people, while others may need months or even years of pregnancy.
It is said that if you and the couple have unprotected sex for a year and are still not pregnant, you must be checked alone.
Even though if you are older than 35, then you don’t have to wait for a year.
Older age makes you at risk of having fertility problems, so it’s best to consult your doctor six months after you try to get pregnant.
How long is it ideally to get pregnant?
The duration needed for couples to get pregnant varies for each partner.
For some people, having unprotected sex only once is enough, for others, it might need a few months.
Sperm has quite a lot of trips with several obstacles on the way to eggs.
In some cases, sperm and eggs meet easily, in other cases, they never found each other.
Sperm can stay alive for 5 days after ejaculation into the womb.
Thus, having unprotected sex a few days before you ovulation is the best way to ensure that there are sperm waiting when the egg is released.
On average, most of the couples pregnant in the first year try and almost all of them are pregnant in the first two years try.
If you need a long time, that doesn’t mean you have a fertility problem.
Some couples have high monthly fertility, which means they have a higher chance to get pregnant in a certain month.
They will most likely get pregnant quickly, in a few months.
Other couples have low monthly fertility.
Age
Your age makes a difference when it comes to getting pregnant.
The early 20s were at the peak of fertility and thus had a higher chance to get pregnant.
A fertility of a woman began to decline from the mid-30s and so on.
For men, fertility began to decline after 40.
There are problems such as testicles that are not destroyed or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can also affect your chances of getting pregnant.
