What are chances of pregnancy?
My husband and I are trying to conceive, and it's been a few months with no luck. I'm curious about the general statistics. What are the typical chances of getting pregnant in a given cycle for a healthy couple?

The chances depend entirely on when you had intercourse during the menstrual cycle. If it was during the ovulation window, the chances are high, otherwise they are quite low.
In our times, we knew that the middle of the monthly cycle is the most fertile phase. Don't worry or get stressed over simple things, just wait for the period date and do a home urine test if it gets delayed.
The fertile window is about 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. I tracked my cycle using ovulation strips for months to get pregnant. If you are anxious, just wait 14 days after intercourse and take an early morning home pregnancy test.
Chances are highest around ovulation, usually day 12 to 16 of a standard cycle. Keeping your body active with regular workouts and eating nutrient-dense food keeps your cycle regular, making it much easier to track these fertile days.

Even with protection, there is always a tiny fraction of a chance which always makes me super anxious. It is best to consult a gynecologist for a proper blood test (Beta hCG) if the periods are delayed, just to be absolutely sure and stop overthinking.
