I wouldn't think so.

100 normal couples with no contraception: in 6 months, 50% will have achieved a pregnancy in 12 months, 85% will in 24 months, 95% will

5 months is just getting started and is perfectly normal.

I work out 5 times a >week for 45 minutes nothing extreme, I dont know what gaining weight
>(fat?) would do.
