20% chance for a perfect healthy couple. It decreases from 20% when you have fertility issues. Just because you are in your 20's have perfect cycles and are in good health don't assume you have close to 100% chance and it'll happen the first try. You also can't forget about your other half. There could be sperm issues that you don't know about. Any man, any age can have motility problems or low sperm count. You don't know these things until you start trying unfortunatly.
Best of luck to you.

To get the most out of that 20% I suggest charting bbt and using opk's...if you don't already. And of course ask whatever questions you want.
Baby Dust!!

People in their mid 20's are in the peak of fertility, assuming neither of you have any fertility problems. My husband and i are in perfect condition. Healthy, workout, eat right, take vitamins, but we are in our 4th cycle ttc. On average it takes a healthy 20's couple 4-6 months to conceive.

i have been off the pill for 8 months now and this is our seventh month of trying i am in my early twenties and have no issues that i know of i am regular and ovulate so every month just gotta give it your best .

you really never know. My sister-in-law is in great health, but she's had two miscarriages and hasn't been able to conceive again in the past 7 months (desipite fertility treatments). I have an older friend, almost 40, high blood pressure and morbidly obese and she got pregnant on her 2 cycle trying. Even with perfect timing, normal healthy couples have only about a 20-25% chance each month. My DH and I are finally pregnant after a year of trying. We had "perfect" timing most of those months. Good luck to you! If you want to increase your chances, use OPKs or a fertility monitor.
