Scenario

When fertility struggles affect sexual intimacy

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and the constant focus on timing and ovulation has made sex feel completely clinical, and we're both frustrated but we don't know how to talk about missing the intimacy without sounding like we don't want a baby.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Medical necessity transforms intimate connection into clinical procedure while both partners mourn the spontaneity they've lost.
