stats for pregnancy after 12 months

Hi girls,

The stats seem to be that 80-90% (depending on where you get the stats from) of women conceive within 12 months of trying but I'm wondering out of the 10-20% left how many of those actually go on to get pregnant at all - or say within 5 years? Also, of those that get pregnant how many are naturally vs with some kind of treatment? Does anyone know? Have any of you found a website that outlines those stats?

After 15 cycles I'm just wondering realistically what my chances are

Actually, I thought it was 80-90% within two years? It might be 18 months ... I'm just trying to remember ... but I'm certain it's not 80-90% within 12 months. They recommend looking into things after 12 months though. It's such a variable thing, fertility stuff which is what makes is so blardy hard to cope with. After 15 cycles, your chances could be almost as good as the next person (we were told after about 3 years that our chances were more like 15% vs everyone else's 20% because of the length of time we had been trying without success ... but that was when they thought we had unexplained infertility of course. They kinda zapped to about 0-5% after that! ) OR if there is some kind of problem, then it would alter the stats some. I had an excellent book which had really good stats in, but it's sitting in my SIL's house in Tauranga, soooo    Just be careful with google    it has a habit of winding everyone up to the sky!

That's good news then girls! I've got endo too and had a lap in August but it was only mild so kind of in the unexplained category so if my stats are still as good as anyone else I feel a little better.

I've found those kind of stats in loads of places, but I guess they change depending on a number of factors - like age.

I think even on the oh baby website it says 90% in 12 months.

dont give up Meg, It took us 14.5 months (19th cycle) to get this wee bub, and even then it was 6 weeks after being told we 'needed' IVF as DP didnt have enough viable swimmers to make IUI a worthwhile option... felt SOOOO good to ring FA back and tell them they were wrong cos we had somehow done it on our own!

Bear in mind that there is only a 20% chance for a healthy fertile couple to even GET preg in each cycle alone...

Interesting stats but I agree, why is there not lovely stats saying the 10-20% who don't get pregnant in the first year, then 80% of those get pregnant in the next year.
I guess I am lucky as though we have been trying since October last year, we have a pretty good chance of getting pregnant after I get polyps removed. It is all pretty scary though! How do we know?
