For some it is easy. They decide it's the right time and they are quickly pregnant. But for most people it takes at least a year of actively trying to conceive. That means lots of early nights and no washing your hair :)
After trying actively for one year and having answered these questions reluctantly your GP will probably refer you to a fertility specialist at the hospital for some basic fertility tests.

To understand a woman’s monthly fertility cycle can be helpful. But there is no need to try to time sex around your cycle and particularly around ovulation. Trying to do this can be stressful, and being stressed may mean you have less sex. It’s simply easier to not wash your hair or say you have headache, and enjoy yourself every 2-3 days.
Having said that, knowing your exact day of ovulation can be useful if you want to time intercourse to the day, if, for example, your partner works away or you have a busy life/work schedule.
Nine out of Ten couples under 35 will become pregnant after a year of trying.
