[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started trying when I was thirty.  I had a lot of friends with issues that took years to conceive.  I kind of expected the same. I got pregnant the first month that we started trying (after 12 years on the pill).  So you never know.[/quote]

The vast majority of 30 year olds and 32 year olds will get pregnant within a few months with no trouble.

If you know a bunch of people having trouble, they are on the shitty side of statistics, which doesn't mean you will be.  You could be.  But probably not.

Start trying to have a baby when you're ready to have a baby in 9 months.[/quote]

I do not think it is fair to say that "the vast majority will get pregnant in a few months." What statistics are you referring to exactly? I am in my early 30s and have been trying for a year to get pregnant. DH and I are perfectly healthy and our fertility work up has shown no issues. We both were misled by so many friends saying "oh we got pregnant the first time we tried" that we assumed we would be in the same boat as soon as I stopped the pill. Now we at learning how common infertility is and that for many women, it can take your menstrual cycles up to a year to get back to normal afte discontinuing oral contraceptives. Everything I had read said it would only take a few months, tops, but when I started digging more deeply I found that this is not true for a lot of women. I'm guessing the birth control pill manufacturers are just good at hiding it. FWIW, I wish we had not waited an extra year to build up our savings and get to the perfect place in our lives to have a baby. [/quote]

I looked at this.
http://www.thebump.com/a/how-long-does-it-take-to-get-pregnant
68 percent pregnant after 3 months.

I see the calculator you posted, which certainly looks fancier but isn't from a much more reliable source than what I saw on the bump.

So using your site, the vast majority of women will be pregnant in 6-8 months.  Fine.

I just don't think it's sane to make decisions assuming or worrying you'll be in the relatively small percentage that have fertility issues.  I say this as someone who had fertility issues.
