trying to conceive

As someone who went through six years of infertility and who’s now in therapy for it, please stop telling people going through infertility to just relax.

Ovulation tracking, scheduling sex, optimizing positions - it is ironic and downright unfair that the act of baby making can feel so unsexy.

What I’ve found there is sometimes amusing, sometimes helpful, sometimes exactly the support I’ve needed, and sometimes downright paranoia inducing.
