Fertility experiences

Couple trying to conceive

Fertility is something many of us have taken for granted through our earlier lives. We may have spent more time worrying about getting pregnant than wondering why we're not pregnant yet. If it's taking you longer to conceive than you thought it would, it's likely that you've started to feel tense and anxious about every period, when and if you're ovulating, whether you feel like sex tonight or not. All of these pressures add stress and emotion and it can sometimes feel like you're the only one it's happening to

In fact 1 in 7 couples have fertility issues, so you're not on your own.
