| Struggling to Conceive series |
In our post for Father’s Day this year, we issued the first release of a guide for Christian couples who are trying to conceive, including a guide for IVF. We also promised to release further updates to this guide as we had time to put the research we’ve done in the best format for you. So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce the first major update to this guide for couples who are trying to conceive.
Specifically, in this update, we put together a detailed discussion of how to time intercourse to conceive (as well as a foundational outline of the basics of fertility). Timing intercourse is the first step a couple takes as they start down the road trying to conceive. This discussion is meant to help a couple understand how they can use the timing and frequency of intercourse to support conception. Additionally, we’ll talk about what else a couple can do to support conception and a healthy pregnancy. Some couples prefer to try on their own before involving their doctor, so we’ll also talk about how to tell when it might be time to talk with your physician.
Also, we are releasing our first video in our guide for couples trying to conceive where we give an overview of what’s in the guide and talk through some of the hard questions we all ask along the way. Join us in this video as we talk about:
- Why is it so hard to conceive?
- Where is God in the process?
- What does it look like to follow God’s leading as we are trying to conceive?
- What can we do to support conception?
- Medications, hormone support, and surgical options
