Still TTC? You Might Want To Double Check Your Timing. π
*Most couples trying to get pregnant don't know when to time intercourse.
*As many as 1 in 2 couples may be trying to conceive at the wrong time in the female partner's cycle.
*The chances of getting pregnant each month for healthy couples:
Under 35 years = 25-30%
35-39 years = 8-15%
40-42 years = 5%
43 = 1-2%
*In one study, 38% of couples that were educated on Fertility Awareness Methods conceived in the first cycle. This is because these couples likely understood their Fertile Window, the optimal time to try to conceive.
*The average Fertile Window is 5 days, but can range between 2-7 days from female to female. This is a significant range in what is a short period in our cycle.
Tune into Episode 1 of the Innate Wisdom Podcast with @followingmybody where we discuss the signs of your Fertile Window and much more. And feel free to download my free Cycle Literacy Guide, which teaches you to get familiar with tracking your Fertile Window.
