Scenario

When fertility struggles change intimate connection

My partner and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years and the monthly disappointment has made us both so careful with each other that we've stopped having sex for pleasure entirely. We're treating our bodies and our relationship like a medical project and I don't know how to find our way back to desire that isn't tied to outcome.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The body becomes a site of shared hope and repeated grief, transforming touch itself into both medicine and wound.
