Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Do not worry. Anxiety and frustration only increase your chances of failure.

There are many factors involved in conceiving a healthy pregnancy, and it is not mandatory that when you follow all the necessary steps too and every thing is normal with you and your partner that you will conceive in the first cycle of trying itself.

Most couple 85% conceive in the first year of trying. Only 15% face infertility problems. You should at least try for 1 year naturally before approaching a doctor for infertility or worry about it.

The factors which decrease your chances of successful conception are women's age if more than 37 years, one or both partners drinking or smoking, stress, any medical problems or medications.

If you or your partner has any medical issues like hypertension, diabetes, thyroid , previous surgery (esp. abdominal) any significant illness in the past then consult doctor prior to 1 year for help, otherwise you could try to conceive or a year and then seek helps if at all unsuccessful.

Do not forget to take folic acid daily while trying to conceive.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
