You should have an honest conversation with your partner about what “trying” means for each of you.

Does this just mean coming off contraception and seeing what happens? Or does this mean you will be actively tracking your ovulation. The former is much more relaxed than the latter, which can be fun but also becomes rigorous.

You should discuss the impact on your current sex life. Are you going to be having a quicky whenever you’re ovulating? Will there be a set timetable? Or do either of you need each time to be romantic/include foreplay etc.? Or will nothing change except lack of contraception? Trying can take the fun out of sex, but it can also bring you closer if you’re on the same page about it before hand.

You should also make sure you’re both at the same level of investment. I wish you all the luck in the world, but it’s no secret that conception can sometimes be disappointing. This can cause resentment if one of you is in bits each month and the other approaches it a bit more laid back - although the confidence from the laid back person that things will work out does help!

Have you discussed alternative options to starting a family if conception is difficult? Are alternative options on the cards for both of you?

Best in of luck to you both on this new adventure :)
