How long does it take for you to get pregnant?

It really all depends on your health, lifestyle and age. Women are likely to conceive 14 - 18 days after the first date of their menstrual period. However, regular checkups and pap smears are recommend if you are serious in starting a family. I have read that the average couple tries to get pregnant for about a year before being successful. But as stated above, it really all depends.

How long does it take for prostate cancer to kill you?

I know that prostate cancer can be slow growing. Depending on when the cancer is detected and if is treatable - I don't know what treatments can be done for prostate cancer - but if someone out there does, please let us know.I do know that any cancer is more treatable the earlier it is found and that's why it so important to go for annual complete - I mean complete - checkups! it's also important for women to have mammograms, depending on their age, and regular PAP smears, also depending on the woman's age. Men, also of a certain age, should have annual prostate checkups and while we're at it, men can also have breast cancer, so if they find unusual growths they should see their doctor immediately. Men's breast tissue is not fatty like women's breast tissue, but cancer can still develop there.
