[quote=Anonymous]I have 6 very, very close friends and each of them got pregnant the first month trying.  I know because we're honest about everything with each other and 4/5 got pregnant the first month of marriage.  As in, they delivered 9 months to the day after the wedding.

Then I'm a nurse midwife (no longer practicing but worked in the field for about 5 years).  I'd estimate that 90% of our patient got pregnant in months 1 or 2 of trying.  People often volunteer this and we also ran a pre-conception class and most people would take this class, start trying and be in the office for prenatal care 4 weeks later.

The whole figure of "you have a 25% chance per month" is completely a bunch of cramp IMHO.  I have never seen this pan out.  I bet 95% of fertile couples will conceive within the first 3 months of well-timed sex.  The other 5% just has bad luck.  If it takes you longer than 3 months you have some degree of sub-fertility.  If longer than 12 months (again of well timed sex) something is probably seriously wrong and you need IVF to ever get that sperm and egg to meet.  Obviously there are exceptions to every rule but it does seem like this is the case for the vast, vast, majority of people.
