How To Get Pregnant Fast

Sunday, 13 September 2009

So, you want to know how to get pregnant fast. Since there are only a few days each month when you have a chance to conceive, it's understandable that you'd want to maximize your chances each month. The thing is, if you want to know how to get pregnant fast, you need to have some understanding about the average time it takes most women to

become pregnant.

Among most women, there is a genuine lack of awareness about what the odds are each month for conception, and how long it should typically take to get pregnant, barring any medical problems.

It's not surprising, really, as most of the information women get about pregnancy throughout the years, is how to avoid it.

I dug up this information in an easy to follow chart format, to make things a little clearer.

Odds of getting pregnant in a given month, by age:
* early 20s: up to 25 percent
* late 20s and early 30s: up to 15 percent
* late 30s: up to 10 percent
* over 40: less than 5%

Number of women who achieve pregnancy within the first year of trying, by age:

* early 20s: 94 percent
* late 20s and early 30s: 70-85 percent
* late 30s: 65-70 percent

Average number of months to conception, by age:

* early 20s: 4-5 months
* late 20s: 5-7 months
* early 30s: 7-10 months
* late 30s: 10-12 months

So you see, even women in their twenties, in the prime of their fertility, only have a 25% chance of conceiving in a given month. These are women who are at peak fertility, and yet each month they have a 75% chance of NOT getting pregnant. If you're in your 30's or 40's the odds go down even more. And this is perfectly normal.

So, even though you may not get pregnant quite as fast as you would like, it's most important to do everything you can to improve your fertility so that it won't take any longer than necessary. Begin by avoiding some of the most common mistakes almost everyone makes when trying to get pregnant.
