Approximately 80 percent of couples that regularly have sexual intercourse and do not use any form of contraception are said to get pregnant with a year. The other 20 percent get pregnant with two years. It is estimated that one out of seven couples find it difficult to get pregnant due to many different possible reasons. For men it could be due to a low sperm count or sperm of a poor quality. For women, it could be their age, as women become older they are less fertile.
