As you can see, trying to conceive doesn’t always have a happy ending. And while these couples were dealing with a ton of issues — infertility or just plain doubt — many of them still battled with the negative bounce backs conceiving placed on their relationships.

A lot of times dealing with the pressure of not having a baby can put a pause on healthy conception. And for a few of the couples, that pressure was enough make their partners search for comfort outside of their relationships.

If you find yourself going through some of the same scenarios, talking to someone you trust could totally help to relieve some of the stress you may be feeling. Doing so may not help you get pregnant faster, but it can lead to you having a healthier relationship with your body and partner.
