ACHIEVING PREGNANCY

Despite popular believe and depending on the circumstances, getting pregnant is not always easy. 

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) on December 7, 1995 revealed that a woman is only fertile for about 6 days in any given cycle (basically 5 days preceding ovulation and on the day of ovulation itself). The study also revealed that based on the assumption you have sexual intercourse during each of these fertile days before and including ovulation, your maximum chances of conceiving conceiving successfully in any given menstrual cycle is only about 37%, In another words, most fertile couples can expect to conceive only once in every 3 months and that provided consistent sexual intercourse is being carried out throughout all the fertile periods. 

Other studies have shown that 50% of couples will conceive within 6 months if not practicing birth control and that 85% will conceive within 12 months. For the remaining 15%, fertility assistance from their physician is often required.

So what is the difference between those normally fertile couples who conceive in 3 months and those who conceive in 6 to 12 months? For some, it is pure "luck" but for others, it is knowing when they are fertile. The NEJM article demonstrated that in order to achieve the 37% probability of successful conception in a cycle, you must engage in intercourse on each of the 5 days preceding ovulation and on the day of ovulation itself. Alternating days of intercourse drops the probability down to 33%. Therefore, a couple must know when the woman is fertile in order to achieve the highest probability of conception.
