When a couple is looking for a baby through assisted reproduction, their whole world revolves around this great dream. Suddenly, their lives embark on a project that, in addition to generating a lot of expectations, can also put a lot of pressure on the couple’s relationship.
One of the first to be affected by the whirlwind of emotions caused by fertility treatment is the sexuality of the couple. Suddenly, their way of getting involved with the other is conditioned by a process in which the naturalness of their sexuality is sometimes inhibited and, therefore, promoting desire, communication and harmony between the couple is essential to spend this stage in the most loving and respectful way possible.
“It is inevitable that during fertility treatment, sexuality is completely focused on reproduction,” says Ana Sofía Giraldo, sexologist at Pink Secret and Sexual Growth Specialist “But the most important thing is that the relationship continues to strengthen on those days of the month when sexual encounters are not intended to achieve pregnancy.”
Back to basics.
One of the most successful strategies to not lose the charm of life together while crossing the path of assisted fertility is to manage the couple’s daily life naturally: “If the couple had a project before undergoing fertility treatment, it should not be ruled out outright. If you were both going to take a trip, you should not cancel it because of the possibility of getting pregnant. Allowing yourself to continue dreaming is important to have other topics that continue to unite the couple.”
Even doing what you enjoy most as a couple can be the key to not unbalancing your married life during fertility treatment: “if at the beginning of the relationship you enjoyed going out dancing, this is the time to do it again. This generates trust and enjoyment in the couple in the face of the moment in which they live and the way they carry it.”
Also, communication is essential to avoid problems in the sexuality of the couple who are undergoing assisted reproduction treatment: it is important that they talk at all times about their feelings, dreams and fears and that they feel cohesive throughout the process.
