The Worst Things About Trying to Get Pregnant

Getting pregnant doesn't always happen as quickly and easily as we'd like to believe. If you have ever tried to plan a pregnancy, or tried to plan to avoid one, you know that your body isn’t fertile all the time. It can also be an emotional roller coaster.
