remember that is for women in their 20s....someone in their late 40s is actually down to about a yearly chance of 20%
chart
and as to why not to call it trying..because we:
A don't care if it takes all year (or never happens)
B don't want questions (feeling bloated? have to grab those fat pants? Try adding everyone asking if you are pregnant yet on top of it....what a way to bring on PMS!)
C don't check cycles, don't count days, don't plan dates for peak production/ovulation, don't care if he wears boxers or briefs, or drinks a beer, etc
D. don't want to insult those who are actually dealing with all of the above.
Trying is work, some folk need medical help to conceive..those folk tried...my family was dropped in my lap, I am greatfull for the easy way it happened. (though please know 'easy' is relative.)
Now as to the stupidity of risking it when you hope you wont get pregnant..that is different. more like playing Russian roulette with 5 out of 6 chambers loaded. (removing one round every decade I suppose)
Oh yeah, and I still seem to have 2 years between kids..that yearly percentage doesn't take into effect the multitude of interrupted 'dates' due to older siblings
