Getting pregnant can happen overnight, but often doesn’t.
If you’ve been trying to conceive for a while you are probably frustrated and tired. If you have just started “pregnancy planning” you may be overwhelmed.
When you’re having sex frequently in order to get pregnant, you might be wasting your time. With this approach, you’re also adding in unnecessary stress, libido issues, and relationship heartache too. But it’s understandable—especially if you’ve been trying to conceive for a while.
Yes, you may think you need to get pregnant quickly because you have been told you are “older” parents-to-be, your existing children are getting older, and you have been trying for a while, or you’ve been labeled as a “fertility challenge.” But let’s shift from “quick baby” to “prepared-for-baby.” Here’s why you need to take time to get pregnant quickly, that is, slow down for a quicker conception. Most couples don’t look at their fertility until they’re trying to conceive, we’re not conditioned to do so. We’re educated to look at preventing pregnancy from our sex education at school.
