What are the chances of becoming pregnant?

catanomicsunset asked: What are the chances of becoming pregnant after having unprotected intercourse once?
How come couples have to try for a long time if it just takes one time? Is that even true that one time can get a girl pregnant? Wouldn’t it be like, 5% chance?

100% chance. Always play it safe if you aren’t ready for parenthood.

The chances could be very slim, the chances could be very high. It just depends — on what, other than God’s will, I don’t know. Some women get pregnant the first time, some women don’t get pregnant for years, some women don’t get pregnant at all — ever, some women get pregnant while on birth control, some women don’t. It just seems to happen if it was meant to be or not happen if it wasn’t meant to be. Unprotected sex is scary these days though — forget about maybe being pregnant because that would be a wonderful experience — a bit scary at first but wonderful — there is the possibility that unprotected sex can be a “death sentence” — what with HIV/AIDS being out there now — pretty scary, huh!!

i really do not have a percentage for u and i don’t believe that an exact is available. the hard cold fact is that it differs from woman to woman and it also depends on the partner.

my fiance tried for three years to have a child with his ex. they went to all the doctors, took all the meds, etc. (they said it was a prob with him )before she finally got pregnant. I was on the pill for three years and i stopped dec 2005 and got pregnant within days!!! my boy was born sept 04 2006.

it all depends on the couple, the stress factors, etc. my friend and her husband have been trying for 7 yrs. they gave up and suddenly her son was born 3 days b4 mine- it was the stress factor.

Every time you have intercourse it’s a 50/50 chance. 50% yes, 50% no. lol

There is always a chance with unprotected sex. It doesn’t matter how many times you did.

However, your chances would be increased if you had sex, during your fertile period. Which can span for almost two weeks, altogether.

There is no real percentage to give you, because every woman is different. Some couples simply have fertility problems, for whatever reason. Everyone is made differently. The average couple takes six months to conceive, without using any form of birth control. And then some women can easily become pregnant after one single act of unprotected intercourse (and sometimes protected!). It’s just all a gamble.

Bottom line: If you aren’t ready to become pregnant, use a reliable method of birth control, each time.

the reason it is said that all it itakes is once, cause you can have all the sex you want but you can only get pregnant from it once!!! Every month there is a 25% chance of getting pregnant, but it seems that the 25% is always the ones who it happens to.
