The Tough Truth Of Trying To Get Pregnant. by gistblognaija(f): 2:39pm On Jul 12, 2015
There Are conversations about sex that
actually
make me want to punch a wall — even three
years
later. But one conversation in particular has had
that effect.
It was an office Christmas party, and a circle of
women was engaged in animated chit chat about
work, pop culture and all the sorts of things you
discuss at Christmas parties. We worked at a
magazine that covered books, so I mentioned a
book I read called The Impatient Woman's Guide t
Getting Pregnant.
The second the title left my mouth, one woman, a
50-something with a blonde bob and photos of
he
two kids plastered around her office, snorted so
loud she nearly dropped her drink.
"Oh PLEASE," she guffawed. "Is it just the words
'Have lots of sex' repeated for 200 pages??"
Modern women (and men) are blessed with an
excellent body of knowledge on how to get
pregnant. From middle school on, we learn
precisely what activity winds up getting a girl
knocked up. And so we spend the first 10, 20 —
even 30 years of our post-puberty lives doing
anything possible to not wind up pregnant.
And then, when/if we eventually choose to
reverse
gears and produce some babies, we think we
know
what's in store: sex, and tons of it. Non-stop
orgies of pill- and condom-free sex. The flowing
river of sex you always wished you could have. A
wild circus of crazy sex positions and orgasms
galore!
What no one mentions is that there's a perfectly
good chance that you won't get pregnant on the
first go-round. Or the second. Or the third. No
matter the sex position. And that before you know
it, the one activity that has been your go-to for
pleasure in life has become a ceaseless, soul-
crushing chore.
Yes, you read that right: Sex to conceive can be a
miserable, pleasure-less act that makes you
question why anyone does the deed at all (no
matter how hot the pre-intimacy or adventurous the
self
position).
The fact is, getting pregnant can be very easy. Or
it can be impossible. Some women slip and fall o
a penis, and look! They're ready to give birth nine
months later. Others spend years, thousands of
dollars, and a good portion of their sanity on pills,
injections, painful and uncomfortable procedures
and more pills, only to wind up with absolutely
zero results.
Modern medicine knows very little about the
differences between these two types of women.
Much of the time, doctors and science can't tell
you which type you are. Your ability to get
knocked up when you want to all depends on a
million things going right at any one time (to the
point that it's almost remarkable that anyone ever
gets pregnant at all). And the kicker is, you won't
have any idea which side of the spectrum you fall
on until you actually leap in and start
"trying." (See? Even the word we use for sex
when
it's supposed to result in pregnancy — "trying" —
is unsexy. Trying. )
Personally, I've ventured pretty far into "meds,
injections and more meds" territory. After 13 year
of dutifully taking my pill every day, I went off birt
control full of optimism and enthusiasm. Bought
new lingerie, started taking prenatal vitamins and
read every book and website on conceiving that I
could get my hands on. The key, all this literature
said, is the timing. Getting pregnant is all about
having sex when you ovulate. Which sounds
obvious. Except when you actually try to do it.
The good news is that an entire industry of tools
has been developed to figure out precisely when
your ovaries release an egg. You can buy sticks to
pee on and thermometers to stick in your mouth
(or other places) and charts to fill in. And then yo
have to find that one 48-hour window, and have a
much sex as possible during it.
Still sounds like a breeze, right? Sure, if you're
two
lab rats spending your days sitting in a glass-
walled container. But if you happen to be two
adults with jobs and social lives and Google
calendars that fill up weeks in advance,.............Continue Reading..
