Don't Tell Me To RELAX- A Fertility Podcast

Sex when you're Trying To Conceive


Listen Later

This is the last in our Men in May Series and we are discussing sex and TTC. Which obviously is for men and women.

Sex and TTC, a topic not often discussed but often an area that can quickly become stressful and pressure fuelled leading to issues on both sides.

So this week I am joined by Andrea Balboni, a sex, love, and relationship coach. We discuss the challenges couples face with their sex lives when trying to conceive.

Andrea discusses why this can become problem, why this is common and very normal and what practical steps couples can take.


This includes having open and connected conversations about sex, reducing stress and fatigue, and exploring pleasure in different ways.


We discuss:

  • How to reduce stress and fatigue by seeking support from community, friends, and family.
    • Exploring pleasure in different ways and creating intentional time for intimacy.
      • Embrace non-penetrative intimacy and acceptance when sex isn't possible.
        • The advantages of not cycle tracking

        • Andrea has an excellent free resource on her website all about How to Talk About Sex
