It's very common to feel stressed when you're struggling to conceive. The good news is that while it's true chronic stress can affect hormones and reproductive outcomes, short-term stress isn't a deal breaker. Gentle stress management like walks and mindfulness exercises can help more than you think.

Did you know that before a heartbeat is even visible, the embryo is already preparing for the next generation? At just 5 1/2 weeks of gestation, the 'primordial germ cells’ form. These will eventually become the baby's future egg or sperm cells. In other words, just as life is beginning, nature is already preparing for its continuation.

Many people believe certain positions after sex, like putting your legs in the air, can help improve your chances of conception. However, the fact is that sperm is incredibly fast – no post-sex position will truly affect their chances of fertilising the egg. The best thing to do is let nature take its course.

We often get asked if it's okay to drink caffeine while trying to conceive. While a little caffeine is okay, you should limit your intake to less than 150mg a day – that's about 1-2 cups of coffee. Drinking more than that has been linked to slightly lower conception rates and slightly higher miscarriage rates. As with everything in fertility – moderation is key.
