How long do you try to conceive naturally before seeking medical treatment?


I just read that 95% of couples will conceive naturally in two years. So is that inaccurate, or are people seeking treatments after a few months, or is something else going on?

Answers:
That is usually the timeframe that a doctor will give you before they try any other method. They also look at your medical history and examine you to make sure all is well. If all is well, they send you on your way and ask you to try for about 2 yrs and if that doesn't work then they run further tests.
I was given an idea of when I might ovulate each month, when we should have sex and a few months later it happened on its own!
I think it's recommended that you try on your own for one year before consulting a fertility specialist.

Really, though, there's no way for them to track how long you've been trying, so you could tell them you've been TTC since God was a boy and they wouldn't know any different.

Good luck!
It is recommended to try for at least 2 years. It CAN take a healthy couple two years to conceive, epsecially if the woman does not know here cycle. The best thing to do it is keep track of your periods on a calendar. Have sex about 10 days after the first day of your last period and have sex every OTHER day through day 16 because it has been proven that too much sex can lower your partner's sperm count.
