“How long does it take to get pregnant?”

If you and your partner healthy and you have regular cycles, trying for a year is considered normal. If you have irregularities in cycle you may want to discuss it with your gyn

Average couple --5 to 7 months ..but can sometimes take more that a year. If it takes longer visit your OBGYN MD.

A normal, healthy couple can take up to one year of trying to achieve pregnancy. This is presuming that both partners are healthy, without a history of previous sexually transmitted infections and that the woman gets regular, monthly periods. Of course, it is possible to get pregnant on the first try so you should continue to use effective birth control until you are ready to get pregnant. While trying to get pregnant, you should be sure that you are taking at least 400mcg of folic acid (folate) on a daily basis to help prevent birth defects. You should make sure you know when you are ovulating and that you are having intercourse from about 4 days prior to ovulation to 4 days after ovulation at least every other day to optimize your chances of getting pregnant. With each ovulatory cycle, there is about a 30% chance of getting pregnant. If you are not pregnant after one year of trying, you should ask for your doctor to evaluate both you and your partner for any potential causes of infertility. If you are a female over age 35, you should be evaluated sooner because fertility declines with age.

Hello,

The average time it takes to get pregnant when you have intercourse when you are supposed to is approximately 5 months. Everyone always says, "It happened the first time we tried!" However, this is not true.
Good luck!
