A Profile of the "Typical" Trying-to-Conceive Woman:

Results of the Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com Survey

Just who is the "typical" trying-to-conceive woman? How old is she? How long has she been trying to achieve pregnancy? What steps is she taking to help increase her odds of conceiving…?

While we can't answer the above questions for all women, we do now have a much greater understanding of the "typical" trying-to-conceive woman who visits the Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com website.

First, a bit of background regarding the survey: Our website, Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, caters almost exclusively to trying-to-conceive couples. Our customers are almost all female (over 90%). In addition to pregnancy and ovulation tests, we carry a broad array of fertility monitors, natural fertility supplements, male fertility tests, sperm friendly lubricants, etc.

Because we're in the unique position of being in contact with so many trying-to-conceive individuals, we thought it would be fascinating to take the pulse of our site visitors in the form of a quick survey. No incentive was offered for their participation. The invitation to take the survey was extended by means of:

1. An announcement on the Early-Pregnancy-Tests Facebook page; and
2. A mention in our monthly email newsletter.

Within a period of 10 days, we received over 600 respondents (620 in total). The questions and survey results are as follows:

1. How old are you?
2. How long have you been trying to conceive?
3. Are you trying to conceive your first child?
4. How many times each month do you have sex for trying-to-conceive purposes?
5. Is your trying-to-conceive sex enjoyable, or has it become a "chore"?
6. How would you describe your stress/anxiety level as it pertains to trying-to-conceive?
7. Are you height/weight proportionate?
8. Are you hoping to have a boy/girl/either one is fine?
9. Do you have PCOS?
10. Do you have endometriosis?
11. Do you any fertility issues?
12. Does your husband have any fertility issues (i.e. low sperm count, low motility, etc)?
13. Do you test for ovulation to determine your most fertile time of month (i.e. using ovulation tests)?
14. Do you use an electronic fertility monitor (such as the Clearblue Monitor or Ovacue)?
15. Have you ever used a natural fertility supplement (such as FertilAid, FertileCM, etc)?
16. Have you ever used Pre~Seed sperm friendly lubricant?
17. Do you chart your basal body temperature using a basal thermometer?
