Collection: Trying to Conceive Products

Totally normal question. And the answer? It depends. (We know.. sorry!)

For most couples trying to conceive with good timing, about 80% get pregnant within 6 months, and 85–90% within a year. That said, it’s completely normal if it doesn’t happen right away.

Every body is different and things like timing, age, cycles, stress, and even plain old luck can all play a role. So if you’re not seeing that positive test after a few months, don’t panic. It doesn’t automatically mean something’s wrong.

And if it’s been a year (or 6 months if you’re over 35), it’s absolutely okay to reach out to a provider or fertility specialist. No shame. You’re not a failure. You’re just trying to conceive, and it’s okay to want support that helps you feel hopeful, seen, and encouraged to keep moving forward.

Honestly? Not as much as people say.

We’ve all heard it, “Just relax and it’ll happen!” (eye roll). But here’s the truth: while extreme stress can sometimes throw off ovulation, everyday stress? It’s not the villain it’s made out to be when you're trying to conceive.

You’re allowed to be emotional, overwhelmed, and even totally over it and your body can still get pregnant! You don’t need to be a zen goddess 24/7 for things to work.

So no, that stressful work meeting or crying on the bathroom floor isn’t ruining your chances.

Be gentle with yourself, girlfriend. Trying to conceive is enough without adding guilt to the mix.

Timing 👏 is 👏 everything.

Ovulation usually happens about 14 days before your next period, and the best time to try is 1–2 days before that egg drops.

But don’t worry no need to memorize a calendar. When you're trying to conceive, tools like LH strips (ovulation tests), cervical mucus tracking (hello, egg white vibes), or apps can help you figure it out. Some people also use basal body temperature (BBT), though that confirms ovulation after it happens.

And yes, you can totally get pregnant even if the timing isn’t perfect. Sperm can stick around for up to 5 days... they’re basically little overachievers.

Looking for a low-stress method? Try the every-other-day approach starting after your period ends and continuing until the end of the month. Easy, breezy, no ovulation strips required.

Here’s the general rule:

Under 35? Try to conceive for a year first.
35 or older? Try to conceive for 6 months.

But if something feels off like irregular periods, super painful cycles, a known condition (like PCOS, endo, etc.), or you just have that gut feeling, you don’t need to wait. Ever. You’re allowed to advocate for yourself at any point in your trying to conceive journey.

Getting support early doesn’t mean you’re “failing” it means you’re being proactive. And we love that!
