The following is true for most people:

The fertility of both men and women reaches its peak at about the age of 24.

Among couples BDing regularly without contraception:

25% of women will conceive in the first month (which is *not* many - it's very much a minority!).

60% within 6 months (that's still just over half people!!)

75% within 9 months.

80% within 1 year.

90% within 18 months.
