In these instances, many couples decide to take a break from trying to get pregnant. The stress becomes overwhelming and the couple can no longer handle the pressure of trying to become pregnant. If you are in this situation, here is some things you can do when you are taking a break.

Reasons for a Break

One of the most common reasons couples decide to take a break is because they are emotionally exhausted. This could lead to extreme levels of stress and anxiety. It is also something that could lead to depression. Some couples even require therapy after they have decided to take a break from trying to conceive.

 

Another reason couples take a break is because they need to make the decision regarding how to move forward. Some couples will be deciding whether they should pursue fertility testing and treatments, and others will be deciding if they should continue trying at all.

Benefits of Taking a Break

When you take a break, you have the opportunity to remove much of the stress and anxiety you have been feeling while you are trying to conceive. It also gives you time to consider what your next step will be without putting so much pressure on yourself. It also gives you time to take care of things you weren’t able to while you were trying to conceive.

Downsides of Taking a Break

Unfortunately, there are some downsides of taking a break. For starters, it could mean you are that much older when you begin trying again. For women who are already over the age of 35, this could be an issue. If you are in this age bracket, make sure you talk to your doctor before you take a break.

It could also lead to more anxiety because it prolongs the situation and could even lead to a financial loss if you are undergoing fertility treatments.

Taking a break from trying to conceive is sometimes the catalyst that is required to create a pregnancy. When you are able to let go of the stress of trying to become pregnant, it tends to be easier to conceive. So, if you have been struggling for some time to become pregnant, consider taking a break. You could find that you become pregnant during the time you are taking a break.
