Trying to conceive puts lots of burden on women

Trying to conceive places a mental and emotional burden on women. We are often expected to take the lead in tracking our fertility, ensuring we don’t miss our peak window. This includes monitoring ovulation, tracking symptoms, maintaining detailed charts, and confirming ovulation.. all tasks fall primarily on the woman. On top of this, women are also expected to manage the emotional dynamics of the process, ensuring that the experience remains enjoyable and stress free for their partner so the man doesn’t have performance anxiety because some men can’t handle little stress lol It feels like a disproportionate amount of responsibility is placed on women during this journey.

I often see women saying they’re in their ovulation window but won’t tell their husbands because they want to keep things “fun” for their husbands because men complain about sex feeling planned!

It feels like men struggle with something as simple as planned sex, while women are expected to handle so much more stress throughout the process.

I believe it should be the other way around men should focus on keeping their wives stress free during the fertile window and take the lead in making sex enjoyable, rather than women having to put in all the effort.

Ultimately, it’s the woman who truly needs to be stress free to increase her chances of getting pregnant and carrying the baby.

Sending love to all the women here ❤️this journey is undeniably overwhelming for us.
