Sex can get ruined when you are trying for a baby.
There is so much pressure. To do it at the right time, to do it often enough. If you’ve been prodded and poked by a specialist or have suffered a loss, it can be the last thing you feel like doing, which is why sometimes… you need to ask for help.
Infertility is so overwhelming and for too many of us it defines us. We forget who we were, what we used to enjoy and how to just be together.
I spoke to Elizabeth Grill, Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of Psychology Services at the Centre of Reproductive Medicine, Weill College of Cornell about all the emotions that affect our sex life whilst we are TTC. Some of the questions I asked Liz were:
- What do you do if the guy is struggling to perform?
- How to make sex fun and spontaneous again?
- What if two people aren’t in the same place / headspace when it is the ‘right time’ to have sex?
- How do you get back to being intimate after a miscarriage?
- How do you keep it interesting and keep up the intensity, post ovulation?
- How do you feel sexy when you’re constantly being poked about from invasive treatment?
- What about progesterone affecting libido?
- Should you tell your partner you are ovulating?
