I've often said that a couple may be impatient, not infertile. Yesterday, I did a post on how half of couples at one treatment center really weren't infertile, they just didn't have their timing right. This article talks about how a couple has to have intercourse 104 times before getting pregnant. So patience and timing may be two very important factors - the problem is, most of us want quick results and the wait can be agonizing. Read more:

From the article:
The study, carried out among 3,000 mothers was commissioned by family planning brand First Response.
Yesterday Dr. Mike Smith of First Response said: 'Having sex 104 times before falling pregnant does sound rather a lot, but as they say practice makes perfect.
'However, for those not trying to conceive it's very important to remember that many couples may also fall pregnant first time so if you are not trying for a baby please still use the necessary precautions.
'Trying for a baby is a very exciting time for a couple and many try to have sex at every opportunity in order to get pregnant.'
The study also found two thirds of women conceived much quicker than they expect to.
But while plenty of women were happy to wait for nature to take its course, others were intent on forcing the issue when the need arose.
In fact 10 per cent said they then jumped on their other half as soon as he walked through the door when they felt the time was right.
