How long after getting married did you have kids?
Here in my home state of California, the average age for marriage is nearly 28 (that’s pretty old compared to the rest of the country), and women have their first kid at age 30.5 (also old in comparison). On average, couples here wait about three years after marriage before having a baby.
How long should you be in a relationship before you have kids?
About half as many (11\%) say a couple should be together for more than one year but less than two before they procreate, while another 11\% think people should wait until the two-to-three-year mark before doing this.
How long after marriage did you start trying?
90\% of couples will conceive within 12 to 18 months of trying. If you are 35 years of age or older, doctors will start evaluating your fertility after six months of unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy.
How often do couples in their 40s make love?
69 times per year
So all the reasons are there. People who fall into the next age bracket of 30 to 39 should apparently be having sex roughly 86 times a year, which results in 1.6 times a week (we’ll let you work out how to make that work). Whereas 40 to 49 year olds have sex an average 69 times per year.
How many cycles did it take to get pregnant?
30 percent get pregnant within the first cycle (about one month). 60 percent get pregnant within three cycles (about three months). 80 percent get pregnant within six cycles (about six months). 85 percent get pregnant within 12 cycles (about one year).
Can you get pregnant naturally after 2 years of trying?
Taking up to two years to get pregnant is normal for some couples. It may feel far from normal if it’s happening to you. But it doesn’t necessarily mean you have a fertility problem . About half of the couples who don’t get pregnant within a year of trying will conceive the following year, if they keep trying .
