Sex for Pregnancy

Is it possible to keep sex pleasurable when you're trying to get pregnant? Obviously the answer is going to be different for each person. And for some people the answer may honestly be no, I can't have excitement; I'm busy peeing on sticks and tracking my temperature, I'm way too stressed out. Regardless of where you find yourself on the fun-to-frantic range, if you are trying to get pregnant with a partner, below are some tips on having good sex while trying to get pregnant.

Remember where you came from.
If you're trying to get pregnant with a partner, you probably love each other and there was almost certainly a time when you were so hot for each other it hurt. It may have been how he looked, something he did in bed, the way he talks or moves.

Have sex when you want it, not just when it's time.
If you're trying to time the sex you have to your cycle you may feel as if you can only have sex when it's time, as if having sex at other times is a waste.

Do other kinds of sexual things together.
If you and your partner's only sexual connection is taking place during sex timed to ovulation, it can put a serious drain on your sexual relationship, and have negative repercussions to the relationship as a whole. Make sure you do other things together that are sensual or sexual, but don’t include having full on sex.

Be smart.
If you're feeling stressed or anxious about sex because you are timing it to ovulation or because you think it "isn't working" it can have an impact on natural lubrication. Any supplements or medications you may be taking that effect hormones could also impact lubrication.

Unleash the sexual fantasies.
When sex becomes work (which is how sex to get pregnant can feel at times) it is time to throw out the rule book and use what works, and what often works is a healthy dose of sexual fantasy.

Explore sexual variations.
On the one hand, introducing a new sexual act might not be the best idea when you're trying to get pregnant. On the flip, it might be the perfect time. The fact is that both of you are having sex timed to a schedule that is out of your control, which means that everyone is compromising. So why not take the opportunity to either start or finish with something else you always wanted to try? So-called "baby making sex" just means at some point there needs to be penetration and ejaculation, it doesn’t mean that’s all you can do.
