Trying to get pregnant


  • There are many steps you can take to help you get pregnant.
  • Most couples who try to get pregnant do so within 1 year.
  • Talk to your provider about any questions you may have.

I’ve been trying to get pregnant for 3 months. What’s wrong?

Pregnancy may not occur right away, so there is no need to worry. For most couples, it may take up to 1 year to conceive. If you’ve been trying to get pregnant for more than a year, or 6 months if you're over 35, it may be time to talk with your health care provider. You and your partner can get tests to find out why you are not getting pregnant
