how likely am i to get pregnant first time of trying?

Answer 1

There are SO many things that have to go just right for a viable pregnancy to result, it sometimes amazes me we manage to reproduce any offspring at all.

Sex Education classes and the "bad luck" of people who are too young to be having sex in the first place notwithstanding, the chance of conceiving in any given cycle is not great. Women 20-25 years of age, who are at their "peak" basically, have a 20 percent or even 25 percent chance of conceiving during any given cycle. For a 30 year old woman, the chance of conceiving in any given cycle is just 15 percent.

It's not that it doesn't happen -- clearly it does. But from a purely statistical standpoint, the chances are that it won't. Timing is critical -- although, contrary to what someone else here posted, having sex when you're ovulating does NOT give you a 100 percent chance of conceiving. Never has and never will. And of course, no underlying fertility issues, but for these purposes we're all assuming a "healthy normal" couple.

Most healthy couples, with no underlying fertility issues, will conceive within 12 months. It takes about 10 percent of those healthy couples even longer. And of course, it takes plenty of those normal couples a lot less time, too.

My stock answer for people trying to conceive: Get a copy of the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by Toni Weschler, and visit the forums at http://www.tcoyf.com (great message boards with very active, very helpful women, and a lot of FAQs). Learn to chart your own cycle so you can determine when YOU are at your most fertile. The textbook woman has a 28 day cycle and ovulates on day 14 -- but most women do not fit that description. Charting your cycle involves taking your temperature and checking your cervical fluids daily; they both change in accordance with hormonal shifts, and if you do these things you will be able to tell when ovulation is likely around the corner, and you will be able to confirm that ovulation has likely occurred. Many women also check their cervical position, and I recommend it, but I realize that not everyone is comfortable doing that, and some of us can't even reach it to check it!

In the meantime, while you're starting to chart, reading Weschler's book, or whatever, have sex every other day -- every day is actually not recommended. You can also use ovulation predictor kits or fertility monitors, but those are costly, don't always work for everyone, and can be difficult to read/interpret.

Best of luck to you.

No one can answer that question.....there is just too many variables. This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler
This book will help you with all of your menstrual and conception questions. It’s for all women - not just women trying to conceive. It covers everything from temperature to mucus checking, etc.. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive – or not! It tells you how to figure out your cycle and what to expect. My husband and I tried for a year to conceive and nothing happened. The first month I used the book we conceived right away. Now I am due Feb 2. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

Answer 3

I got pregnant first time of trying.
It's not very likely though. I was pretty surprised when I found out I was pregnant!

Answer 4

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/G7Cce

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Answer 5

As long as you are charting your temps,maybe even doing ovulation tests your chances are reasonably high but i think every woman varys so dont get your hopes up to much because its a big let down if you dont fall right away.But just remember 85% of all healthy fertile couples concieve within the first 12 months of trying.Try to relax about it and enjoy making love to your partner rather than just baby danceing.If you think about it too much it just wont happen!

Answer 6

Ummm...plenty of people get pregnant on the first try! ("Gee, we only did it once!") LOL I got pregnant on the first cycle with my son; on the second with my daughter (actually I think I did get pregnant but had a 'chemical' pregnancy, where it starts to fertilize but never develops properly. It all depends on your body and there's no way of knowing unless you try! Good luck!

Answer 7

It happened 1st time for me with both my babies. Planning to try for baby number 3 later this month so hopefully it will be three in a row. There are so many factors involved though so a lot of it is just down to chance!

Answer 8

i would love to know where some of these people are getting their 'facts' from. It's all about giving things a chance, it may happen right away, it may take some time, but at least it's fun trying. Just don't pressure yourself or your partner as that will affect your chances.

Answer 9

You can get pregnant the first month itself if you do it correctly. To get pregnant you must have sex on a day that your eggs are being released. After the 3rd day from the day that menses started put a thermometer into your mouth and check your body temperature every morning before you start turning in bed. The best time is at about 4 a.m. Maintain a chart. You will find that on one day the body temperature drops from 1/2 degree to one degree. This is the day that your eggs are being released. If you want to get pregnant this is the day that you must have sex. Tell your husband to ejaculate on his inward thrust so that the sperms will shoot deep inside. After having sex you must stay in bed for about 30 mins with your knees bent up with a pillow under your buttocks so that the sperms will not pour out - to enable them to travel up. Get your husband to save his sperms in the testacles for at least 3 days before sex to enable them to mature well to do their job.

Answer 10

It usually takes a few tries. With my first it took over a year. However, with this one, we were sucessful the first time.

It's possible, but I wouldn't count on it, a lot has to go just right to have a pregnancy.
