Is This True?

Question

Is it true it’s actually harder to get pregnant than most people think? Even if someone finishes in you? I know every body is different but is that true?

Answer

Generally, it is harder than we were told in high school. It can take many months or years to conceive. It is never a guarantee, even with unprotected sex. But it can also happen the very first time you have sex and while on birth control.

Answer

very true, your body actually doesn’t want you to get pregnant, which is why we have a cycle. the reason fertilization only happens within a short time span is because our body is not preparing to get pregnant, it’s preparing to destroy the egg and/or sperm. it breaks it down and even if your egg mets a sperm it then has to implant before our body has a period, which is why you’re suppose to test AFTER your missed period. the two week wait is suppose to be a three week wait because even though the sperm mets the egg and your body starts creating HCG it doesn’t mean you’ve implanted (also known as a chemical pregnancy). the odds work against the zygote for a majority of the time. so when people say it’s a miracle to get pregnant, it really is !
i know a lot of people that get pregnant “easily” and then i know a lot more people that have been trying for years.

Answer

As the other comments said, yes it can be. 
But just keep in mind that it should not be a free pass to not use protection/birth control. (If your main goal is to avoid pregnancy)
Or don't let it mess with you if you are trying for a baby and don't fall pregnant that first cycle. (If you are trying)

Answer

I honestly think it just depends on how fertile you both are and just in general as well, I thought it would take a while for me to fall pregnant but I did within the month of trying 🤷🏻‍♀️ so different for everybody! good luck tho x

Answer

I’m totally convinced from personal experience that it’s harder the older a person gets. I got pregnant first try with my first child at 17. Got pregnant accidentally with my second at 19. And got pregnant accidentally with my third at 21. I’m with the same man and we tried for over a year with our fourth and finally got pregnant when I was 28. I’m now 30 and we tried over a year for this baby (I finally ended up pregnant this time when we quit trying) 
I also have a couple of friends that I went to high school with that ended up pregnant accidentally at 17. They are 30 now and have been struggling with fertility issues for years. I’m not saying to try to have a baby as a teen and I don’t actually know if this is true for all people but I’m just stating my opinion and how I feel from my own experience.

Answer

I think so. Timing is so critical and you might have underlying conditions that you didn’t know existed before trying. Thyroid, PCOS, endometriosis, low t etc. Its so crazy bc were taught to think it’s sooo easy.

Answer

My Mom got pregnant the first time she was trying to conceive. But it took my grandmother years. Everyone’s different

Answer

It depends on the person. Lots of people get pregnant accidently, lots needs careful planning and some need medical intervention.

Answer

From what sex ed taught in high school you would think the first sperm that gets loose in you would cause an instant pregnancy on the first try.
Now while that can happen....its not likely and dosent define most people's experience. Imagine my suprise when it took years to conceive.

Answer

Every BODY is different. I was pregnant immediately stopping birth control- I’d been told by my GYNECOLOGIST it takes 3 months to get pregnant after stopping the pill. I was young and believed her. I got pregnant the week after my withdrawal bleed. The second time around I was pregnant by the second cycle. 
Some women take months or years to conceive. 
We’re all different.
