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.. www.gistblognaija.com/2015/07/the-tough-truth-about-trying-to-get.html? |
