You're doing everything right...so why aren't you pregnant?

You’re taking the supplements. Tracking ovulation. Watching what you eat. Googling every symptom. Timing intercourse. Checking your temperature. Reading the books, listening to the podcasts and doing everything you possibly can to improve your chances of getting pregnant. So why isn’t it working? If you’re someone who has always achieved results by working harder, researching more and finding a solution, fertility can feel especially brutal. Because this is one area of life that doesn’t always respond to more effort. In this episode of The Wright Way to Natural Fertility, we’re talking about the exhausting cycle of trying to do fertility “perfectly” - and what happens when trying to control the outcome starts taking over your life. I’ll share some of my own experience of trying to regain control after miscarriage, and we’ll explore tracking, supplements, OPKs, BBT and that ever-growing mental fertility checklist. None of these things are inherently bad. But when your fertility journey becomes another project to manage, optimise and get right, it can leave you feeling as though every month that you don’t conceive is somehow another personal failure. And it isn’t. Perhaps the next step isn’t another supplement, another tracker or another thing to add to your list. Perhaps it’s time to approach your fertility differently. Because you don’t need to be perfect to get pregnant.
