It counts for about 10% of couples struggling with infertility. It doesn't necessary run in the family though unless your mom was diagnosed with some genetic reason why she had trouble conceiving. A lot of things can play into a person's fertility such as lifestyle, diet, exercise, stress levels, occupations, medications, bad timing, medical conditions, etc. So try not to worry about it yet. They say 1 in 3 couples have some sort of fertility issue to overcome. Many do this without medical help. The rule of thumb is most healthy couples will conceive in a year. It is also not just the female that things can be wrong with. Men contribute to infertility 40% of the time. Out of my mom, 3 aunts, and 4 female cousins that have children I am the only one that has had trouble with it. So don't base it on that alone. Your mom was not infertile it just didn't happen as quickly for her. Try to stay positive and when the time comes then you can worry about this!!!
Its always a gamble, you could get pregnant very easy, or else you could be like me and have wasted tons of money of birth control in my younger years! My husbands swimmers are getting tested tomarrow, but as for me everythings a.o.k. if there isn't anything wrong w/ him, looks like we are going to once again be told to "oh just relax it will happen" ugh its been over a year now.!
But there are many factors that effect fertility, stress, diet, weight, etc.
40% of couples have unexplained infertility.
It now takes 2-3 years to conceive your first child.
I'm not sure if infertility runs in the family or not. It's possible that if it took your mother a long time to have you, then you could also experience a brief moment of infertility.
Contemporarily, it is estimated by the national average that one out of four women miscarry or have experienced trouble conceiving a baby at least once during their lifetime.
