-----Question-----
I stopped birth control a month ago and what are the chances of getting pregnant right away.
-----Answer-----
After one year of unprotected intercourse, about 80% of couples become pregnant. The remaining 15% to 20% are considered infertile and may want to get professional help if pregnancy is desired.
The probability of pregnancy depends upon both the man and the woman, their age, frequency of intercourse, their health, and other aspects.
Womens' fertility is greatest in the 20's and begins to go decrease afterwards. Mens' is more stable. If you want to get pregnant you should take classes to identify your fertile time. Look on the web for "Natural Family Planning" classes in your locality.
