How Hard Is It to Make a Baby?

When a couple decides to start trying for a baby, it usually means weeks of exciting bedroom "sessions" because, "Hey, lots of sex equals a baby right away, right?" In reality, the average chance of conception for a normal, healthy, young couple having regular unprotected sex is approximately 20% each month. Twenty percent!

Most people assume that the big scary word starting with "I" (that’s right, "infertility") only applies to couples who have been trying for years or those with a medical condition affecting their ability to have children.

That’s not true! Infertility is actually diagnosed when a couple fails to conceive after just one year of unprotected sex. Unfortunately, this is a more common issue than people admit, and it can start to impact your relationship months (or even years) before any real testing is done to identify a problem in either partner.

Scientific data shows that infertility affects at least 15% of couples worldwide, which amounts to nearly 49 million couples. In 20% of these cases, the cause lies solely with the male partner. In 30% of cases, both partners contribute to the reproductive difficulties.

The Female Factor

Let’s take a closer look at the "gentle" side of this equation. A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, but for most of her life, these immature eggs remain "dormant." Three to four months before ovulation, an egg matures and undergoes a major transformation – it doubles in size and requires much more energy to develop.

At this crucial stage, many factors can have a positive or negative impact on egg development. Diet, weight, deficiencies in certain nutrients, and lifestyle factors (such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity) can affect egg quality, hormonal balance, and ovulation.

The Male Factor

This isn’t the only reason why getting pregnant can and likely will take some time. According to a recent Harris study conducted for Proxeed Plus, 3 out of 10 new fathers (a staggering 30%!) say that conception took longer than expected.

Scientists attribute this "delay" to a decline in male fertility. The data is shocking:

  • In 1940, the lower reference limit for a "normal" sperm count was 113 x 10⁶/mL.
  • In 1990, the lowest reference value for a "normal" sperm count was 60 x 10⁶/mL.
  • In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) permanently reduced the lower reference value for sperm concentration, ensuring that more men fall within the "normal range."
  • The lower reference value for sperm concentration became 15 x 10⁶ sperm per mL (95% CI 12-16), replacing the previous limit of 20 x 10⁶/mL. That’s a 25% decrease!
