After getting married, women have always wanted to have children. In order to have children, they have calculated the ovulation period and made a lot of efforts during the ovulation period. However, despite multiple attempts, they have not achieved the results they want, and there is still no news about their belly. At this point, women feel like they are infertile. So, how long until they can conceive is considered infertility?
How long does it take to conceive and become infertile
The definition of infertility varies from country to country according to different standards. In general, in Japan, it refers to not getting pregnant after two years of marriage and normal marital life; The United States refers to one year. Nowadays, it is usually said that if a couple has normal sexual life and has not conceived within a year, they need to go to the hospital for examination to see if it is infertility.
In China, if a woman fails to conceive for at least 12 months without taking contraceptive measures, it is called infertility, and in men it is called infertility. According to whether one has been pregnant after marriage, it can be divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility.
Having normal sexual activity after marriage, not using contraception, and living together for 2 years without being able to conceive is called infertility (currently, most people internationally consider infertility as not being able to conceive within 1 year). According to statistics, 60% of couples who do not use contraception become pregnant within 6 months of marriage, 80% within 9 months, 85-90% within a year, and about 4% in the second year of marriage. If there is no pregnancy after 2 years of marriage, it can be called infertility. Individuals with significant abnormalities in sexual activity after marriage or those who marry later may seek medical examination.
