The most important tip to better TTC sex is to have spontaneous romps outside of your fertile window \u2014 this allows you to enjoy each other without the pressure of conceiving every time.

Having sex in a new place \u2014 a hotel, the beach, a field \u2014 can alter your routine just enough to bring back the sexiness. Try renting a cheap airbnb in the city you live in or one nearby \u2014 then watch the magic happen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Tell a story:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most humans are more engaged by their imaginations than by physical sensations. Write your partner a short story and have them write one back to you, then try acting it out in the bedroom. Pretending to be different people can not only be very arousing but can also break from the conception sex cycle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Send a naughty text:<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Engaging in foreplay is one of the best ways to spice up your baby-making sex. Try sending your partner a series of dirty texts while they are at work \u2014 by the time you both get home, you\u2019ll be so hot and bothered you\u2019ll be dying to take your clothes off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you and your partner are trying to conceive, sex might begin to seem like a chore rather than a treat.
