Couples who have recently stopped contraception, the average pregnancy rate per month is about 20%. In case of a typical couple, it actually means that 50% get pregnant within the first six months and another 30-40% conceive in the following 6 months. It becomes difficult to conceive after a year of unsuccessful attempts and infertility specialists suggest assessment after 12 months of attempted conception. We also advise assessment after 6 months in patients who are above the age of 35 owing to an age-related decline in fertility that happens with most people.
