Just wondering what the chances of conceiving are if thigns are timed well with CM and temperatures still low... ?

Thanks

I understand that when everything is timed perfectly, there's roughly a 26% chance of getting pregnant.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I did see some references to 25% but wasn't sure if that was with the right timing or just in general....

I don't understand that. Why would there only be a 25% chance if both partners and fertile and everything is timed perfectly? Does that add in the possibility of a m/c or something?? Why are the chances so low? Doesn't make any sense to me.

I think it's just because there are so many variables that we can't control, even if we do everything right. The sperm count may be low, their motility may be low, the egg may not "accept" any sperm, etc. And then even if the egg is fertilized, it may not implant, or may die shortly thereafter. There are a lot of things we just can't control.

It makes every baby such a miracle when you know what the odds are!

Hope this helps.
