A member asked:

Me and my wife both 38 we plan to try for a kid.how long does it take for 38 year old to get pregnant ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The listed average wait for a desired pregnancy is 6 mo among fertile couples with variation from a few weeks to a year. Delay past a year would suggest a fertility evaluation of both partners. Since this may be a time sensitive issue for you both, having a checkup and discussing this with your respective docs may be a good idea now.
