Why you shouldn’t ignore your low libido

Is your libido holding you back from conceiving?

Let’s chat about something that doesn’t always get enough attention—your libido—and why it’s so important, especially if you’re trying to get pregnant.

Here’s the deal: your libido is supposed to naturally increase during certain parts of your cycle, especially in your fertile window (the week leading up to ovulation). 

This is Mother Nature’s way of giving you a little nudge toward procreation. 🪷

But if you’re not noticing this shift, it might signal a hormone imbalance that’s worth exploring. Here’s why this matters:
1️⃣ Balanced hormones are essential for getting pregnant.
2️⃣ They help you stay pregnant.
3️⃣ Your hormonal health can influence your baby’s future health (this is called hormonal imprinting).

If you’re already navigating hormone issues or struggling to conceive, I see you. 💕

I know this journey can be incredibly hard, and your low libido might not just be physical—it could be emotional, too.

While I’d want to know more about your unique situation before offering specific recommendations, here are some quick tips to support you:
💬 Open up to your partner about your feelings and needs.
💞 Build intimacy all day—whether it’s through a kiss, a note, or an embrace.
🗓️ Plan quality time together, whether it’s a cozy night in or a fun date out.
💆‍♀️ Prioritize stress management to help you shift from “task mode” to enjoyment mode.
💦 Use a TTC-friendly personal lubricant.
🥗 Align your nutrition and lifestyle with your cycle for better hormonal balance.
