The woman is healthy and is having regular monthly menses. Her husband is 27 years of age and has no medical problems. The couple has been trying to conceive for 3 months. They have come to you seeking advice about how likely they are to conceive in the next 6 months to 1 year. What should you tell them? - 99.9% of couples will conceive in 2 years - 85% of couples will conceive within a year - 75% of couples will conceive in 3 months - 25% of couples will conceive in 6 months The correct answer is: 85% of couples will conceive within a year   Infertility is defined as 1 year of unprotected intercourse without conception. Between 85% and 95% of couples will conceive within 1 year; however, up to 15% of couples may be affected by infertility. Broken down further, 57% of couples will conceive at 3 months, 72% will conceive at 6 months, and another 93% will conceive at 2 years. **Reference:** Fritz MA. Female infertility.
