Have you ever conceived while stressed?

[Sealover123]

I'm not really stressed per se, but work is really busy and I've been doing additional hours so not much time to relax. Feeling run down.

Coming into my fertile window and I just feel tired and can't be arsed to even try DTD. 😂

I just feel like what's the point? My egg is probably frazzled.

Has anyone conceived when they've been busy/stressed/overtired? Tell me your story ❤️

I have been super stressed this month (11month olds nursery place fell through a few weeks before I’m due to start back at work, trying to sell our house so constant viewings and more) and I’ve just tested positive.
I’m wasn’t due on until next week so obviously super early and I feel like it could still go either way (if you know what I mean..) but clearly possible to conceive!

Yep!
I conceived with DD age 2 during Covid, wfh with a 2yr old toddler DS, working full time whilst also studying for degree full time, having had our appointment for secondary infertility cancelled due to the Pandemic and also almost 43. Never been more stressed and worried. Had sex once outside of the fertile window and little Miss came along.

Yes first pregnancy was incredibly stressed and pregnancy hormones made me more so.
your biggest risk is not dtd due to being stressed/tired. Can be really difficult when things are busy.

People conceive in war zones and refugee camps....

Very true Curlewkate, often think that!

Yep, conceived my first the same month my dad died (ovulated the day after he died) and the month following 3rd Miscarriage. Emotionally ragged, stressed and not sleeping/ looking after myself at all.
