It was a long road to having a child because it just didn’t want to happen

I couldn’t believe my luck. One day after my birthday I found out that we were pregnant. It was a wonderful and indescribable feeling.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Try not to stress

A bit apprehensive but mostly happy

Valentina, 35

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am already 35 years old. My main hobby is my dog. My husband and I have known each other since 2016 and got married in 2018. We then decided to have a baby in 2020. At the end of 2020, I tried the cycle tracker and the patches for the first time - super easy to use. In July 2021 I had the positive test in my hand and on 31.01.22 our daughter was born

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

For us, the urge came at the end of 2020, then I came across femSense and what can I say - barely 7 months later I was pregnant

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?

I came across it by more by chance on the internet and thought I’d give it a try

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

I only used the patch for 2 months

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

To be honest, no, only when we really tried to get pregnant

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

A bit apprehensive but mostly happy

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

I would recommend every couple who wants to have children to try femSense, that was our goal as well

Surprised, happy, incredulous

Marija, 38

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am 38 years old and have been in a relationship for two years. Neither my partner nor I have children yet.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

The thought was there, but for a long time we didn’t do anything about it. I had a miscarriage a year ago and it looked like a trip to a fertility clinic was more and more likely.

Why did you choose femSense?

I was looking for a practical way for me to reliably measure my ovulation.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

Thanks to femSense I got pregnant in the 4th cycle. Using femSense showed me that my ovulation happens earlier than I had always assumed.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

I actually knew a lot about my cycle - or at least I thought I did. Fortunately, through femSense I discovered that I ovulate earlier than I had previously believed. And so we were finally successful and I got pregnant.

WHow did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

Surprised, happy, incredulous.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

If you have problems with your cycle or with detecting ovulation, femSense is a great way to solve that problem. Otherwise,my only tip is to try to stay calm and positive.

I got prgnant first time!

Lena, 29

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am 29 years old and very active. I love long walks outside with our dog enjoying nature . My husband and I have been together for 8 years and will soon celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

At the end of 2020, we decided that we wanted to become a small family and have a baby. We said we wouldn’t stress about it (which turned out to be a complete delusion). I was so excited and really wanted it to happen right away.

Why did you choose femSense? After several cycles in which the wished-for baby failed to materialize, I started looking for a reliable cycle tracker. Simple ovulation tests didn’t work, so I needed an alternative. femSense seemed easy to use, without completely restricting my everyday life and only thinking about having a baby.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

I got pregnant first time. The system really easy to use. The patch pinched a bit but it was worth it.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

I was actually quite sure I knew my cycle well before using it. However, the patch showed my ovulation two days earlier than predicted in the cycle apps. That seems to have been spot on. Without femSense, I would have missed my ovulation this month as well.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

It’s indescribable. There is no better feeling

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Trying to get pregnant shoulod not become the whole focus of your life and be the first and last thought of the day. I know from my own experience how difficult that can be. Despite it taking longer than we expected we never lost confidence that we would have our little treasure at some point.

Use the patches and save yourself the stress

Jessi, 33

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am Jessi, I am 33 years old and am married to my husband since December last year.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

We talked about having a baby a few years ago and since then we’ve been going for it ;)

Why did you choose femSense?

I found it easier than measuring with a basal thermometer every day, or doing ovulation tests every morning.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

II had to use 6 patches until I got pregnant. The system was very simple and easy to understand.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

Yes, I knew what was important. But with the patches, it was much easier to understand how and when the perfect time to get pregnant was.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

I was incredibly happy and now just pray that all goes well, as I have been through 2 miscarriages in the past.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Use the patches and don’t stress. They take the work out of measuring and you can concentrate on the fun stuff :)

It was such an amazing feeling

Sabi, 32

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am 32, happily married for almost 6 years and I love plenty of cuddles and play time with my cat Ivy.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

I handed my husband an ovulation test one evening and asked if we should have a baby. He was delighted and said yes straight away.

Why did you choose femSense? Because I had been trying for 8 months, because my cycle was irregular and because we had been through several examinations by doctors without finding anything. And because I couldn’t cope with taking my temperature and checking my cervical mucus every day!

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

I only used one patch (I still can’t believe it!) Unfortunately, I have a patch allergy, but I decided to just ignore that. It was easy to use and read and the patch held well.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

Yes, I have used 3 cycle tracking apps and the temperature method etc.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

It was an amazing feeling. I had to look at the test several times to make sure it wasn’t a mistake.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Don’t over think it. I know thats easy to say. Using the patch made me feel more relaxed and secure.

The most important thing for me was that I could rely on the patch

Sandra, 25

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, I am 32 years old and married for 2 years. I have been with my husband since 2013.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
It had always been our wish to start a family and when worked, we were more than happy.

Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?
We had tried for 1.5 years to get pregnant, and finally it happened. Sadly, that baby didn’t want to stay with us and I didn’t have the patience to wait any longer. I had seen the Barbara Meier advertisements and knew that she only does advertisements for products that she believes in, so I trusted her and after just one patch, it worked.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
It worked after only one patch. I couldn’t believe it myself. The application was mega easy. At the beginning was I unsure whether I had stuck it on correctly, but when the readout worked I was no longer under so much pressure.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
I didn’t know 100% about my cycle, but femSense made it easier and clearer for me..

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I couldn’t believe it worked after only one patch. We were happy but also nervous because of the earlier miscarriage.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
I recommend femSense to all my girlfriends because you don’t have to watch and check all the time. I think when you have a clear head, it works better than when you have to take your temperature every day and write it down.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this amazing invention

Katja, 31

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hi, I am 31 years old and the proud mother of 2 wonderful children. My family and my friends are my world. My husband and I have lived together for 8 years and are married for one and a half years :)

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

It all happened quite quickly with my first 2 babies, everything was “normal” back then. But then my health got progressively worse and I got the shock diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease. Planning baby number 3 became torture. I just couldn’t get pregnant. We thought our dream of a third baby was over.

Why did you choose femSense?

I was pretty desperate, I thought there must surely be something that can help me get pregnant in spite of Hashimoto’s disease. I tried lots of things - taking my temperature, ovulation prediction kits, medicine - but none of them were right for us. Purely by chance I saw an advertisment for femSense on my phone one day and I thought - hey, why not, we have nothing to lose since nothing else seems to work anyway.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

To be honest, I thought I would give it a try but wasn’t really convinced it could help me get pregnant. I was very sceptical because nothing else had worked. The patch was comfortable to wear although I got a slight rash from the glue which I didn’t really notice. In the end I only needed one patch - although I had ordered 6 to be on the safe side! my friend will be delighted when I pass the remaining patches on to her.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant? Honestly?

No. I didn’t know much about my cycle because I had never paid much attention to it. It was only when I was desperate to get pregnant that I slowly started to understand my cycle. And thanks to femSense I got to know my cycle even better. It was important to find the right time to get pregnant and femSense does that perfectly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this amazing invention❤

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

I couldn’t believe it had worked the first time I used a patch. In spite of Hashimoto’s disease and the cycle fluctuations and hormonal chaos it causes. I still can’t quite believe it. I am so happy. my husband too. Hopefully we will soon hold our third little miracle in our arms - thanks to femSense❤

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

No matter what you have tried you shoud never give up hope! I almost gave up so many times but thanks to femSense I found my hope again. Anyway the femSense patch is my number one favourite and I would recommend it to everyone. Try the patch and you’ll save money. You’ll see, you won’t be disappointed❤

femSense was the perfect solution

Sabine, 25

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

My husband (31) and I (25) have been a couple for 12 years and are married for just over 1 year. We enjoy going to the cinema and game nights.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

We always wanted children and, having moved into a suitable apartment after getting married, we knew the time was right for us.

Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?

For the first two “practice cycles“ we used a urine ovulation test, but since I work shifts, it was difficult for me to stick to the necessary time schedule. Then I looked for alternatives and femSense was the most suitable solution for us.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

I got pregnant straight away, in the first cycle with femSense :)(our third in total). The application is really very easy. My husband always came home from work full of excitement and the first thing he did was read my patch. Unfortunately, my mobile phone was no longer compatible because it was too old.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

I was surprised that after more than 11 years on the pill, my cycle was regular (with very few variations of 1-3 days) immediately. The timing is important, of course there are always exceptions, but you want to get it right quickly.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

I was slightly stunned, but also instantly felt happy. I had thought that it would probably take me up to a year to get my hormones back on track because I had been taking the pill for so many years.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Get to know your cycle and then make love as often as you want :).

I couldn't believe it worked after only one patch.

Alina, 32

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Hello, I am 32 years old and married for 2 years. I have been with my husband since 2013.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

I couldn’t believe it worked after only one patch. We were happy but also nervous because of the earlier miscarriage.

I used ovulation prediction kits for one cycle, I found them exhausting

Marie, 30

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am 30 years old and have been with my childhood sweetheart for 10 years. We have been married for 2 years.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?

For me it was always clear that I would want to have a child one day. We don’t know yet whether we will have more than one. But I definitely always wanted a baby and so did my husband.

Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?

I used ovulation prediction tests for one cycle, I found them exhausting though because you have to test at the same time every day. Unfortunately, that was difficult with my job. The patch seemed like a great alternative. You can also have a cold or even a glass of wine and the temperature measurement results are not affected.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?

We used femSense for three cycles until I got pregnant. However, it was only in the third cycle that we really focused on getting pregnant. The first two cycles were more like test runs. The application is really easy. I was sceptical at first about whether the patch would hold up in the shower etc., but it always stuck on really securely! You don’t even notice it. You don’t have to do any of the work and it measures your ovulation accurately. The Customer Support is also commendable!

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?

Yes, I knew through NFP (natural family planning) how to identify ovulation with the temperature method. But the patch makes it so much easier.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?

Delighted, but I couldn’t believe it straight away. I had to do three tests before I beleived it. Now I am just happy!

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?

Don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are looking for a simple method that is effective and reliable, femSense is the right choice. This kind of ovulation test helps takes the pressure off.

I wanted to know if I was still ovulating at all!

Katharina, 39

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am 39 years old, and have been with my husband for 8 years, married for 5. My life is ruled by our 3 children (4.5, 3 and 1.5 years old) and our 2 dogs.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
Before we had our first baby, I hadn’t even thought about ever being a mother.

Why did you choose the femSense Ovulation Test?
Because I had an irregular cycle after the 3rd pregnancy and wanted to know if I was still ovulating at all!

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I was pregnant after 3 months, using femSense was really simple and straightforward.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
It was important to me to get the timing right because we didn’t have many opportunities to try.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I couldn’t believe it at first, now I am just grateful and happy, and I hope that everything will go well one last time and our family will then be complete.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
I would recommend femSense without hesitation - it gave me a safe and secure feeling that I was not missing the right time.

femSense was very easy to understand.

Emma, 35

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is Emma and I am 35 years old. I love long walks with our family dog. We have been together for 6 years, married for 2 years.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
I brought a daughter into the relationship and we knew early that we wanted a baby together. Our daughter was also desperate to be a big sister.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I first came across femSense on Facebook, I read up on it and decided to give it a go. We had tried ivf for one year, but I had had enough so we needed to find an alternative. Because of the hormone treatment my ovulation and menstrual cycle were all mixed up. femSense made it so easy for me. It was easy to understand and unlike other methods didn’t involve taking and charting my temperature myself. It was simple – stick on a patch, hold your mobile phone up to it in the morning, and that’s it!

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I only used 2 plasters and have a full packet of 3 left over.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Because of the hormone injections from ivf I didn’t know my cycle at all any more. But, as you can see, it all worked out with femSense.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
Happy but also anxious because of the miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Never stop hoping, one day you too will hold your happiness in your arms.

femSense is worth every penny.

Natalie, 32

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is Natalie and I am 32. I like spending time with my friends and listening to music. My partner and I have been together for 9 years and don’t plan on marrying.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
It wasn’t a difficult decision, we both wanted children.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I always wondered when I ovulated and looked for ovulation testing methods in the internet. When I found femSense it was the obvious choice.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I used 2 from the 3 patches. The first patch felt a bit strange at the beginning but the second was fine.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Unfortunately not. That’s why I decided to use femSense.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
Overjoyed, although somehow I couldn‘t quite believe it.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
It‘s worth spending the few extra pennies when it really helps. I would recommend femSense to everyone who wants to become a parent.

It was my last chance.

Alexa, 30

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is Alexa, I am 30 years old and have a 5-year old son. I have been married for 6 years and we were together for 5 years before that. I like listening to music, reading books, walking, cycling and playing with children.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
Getting pregnant with our first baby was easy – it happened first try. After that we wanted a second child, but it just didn’t happen, although we tried for 2,5 years.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I came across femSense on the Internet and said to myself, it’s now or never. And now I can say I am just so happy that I used femSense.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
femSense was my last chance before turning to a fertility clinic for help. I only used femSense for one cycle and got pregnant first time! Now I am 14 weeks pregnant and so happy. It was really easy to use and worked straight away.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Yes, I already knew a bit about my cycle but with femSense finding out when I ovulated was so easy.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I was so surprised and so happy, I still am!

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
I can absolutely recommend femSense to other couples. If it doesn’t work after a few months then go to a doctor, but I hope that femSense helps other couples become parents too.

femSense is straightforward and easy to use!

Leonie, 29

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Leonie, I am 29 years of age and I live with my husband and our dog in a small village in Germany. My husband and I have been together for over 7 years and married for almost 4. We were trying to get pregnant for most of those 4 years. We are both family-oriented people and therefore dreamed about having our own little family.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
At the beginning we were very positive and didn’t really think about whether or not getting pregnant would be difficult. But, when we didn’t get pregnant within the first few months, we were concerned we might have a problem.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I had tried several other ovulation detection methods, ovulation tests (both cheap and expensive) and temperature measuring methods. I found out that my cycle is somewhat irregular. Last year I heard about femSense in a blog and figured it was worth a try.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I actually only used femSense for one cycle because I got pregnant first go. It was straightforward and easy to use even though I had actually expected it to be more complicated. I have eczema and was concerned I might get a rash but that wasn’t a problem either.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Yes, because we had been trying for 4 years I knew about my cycle.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I did my first ever positive pregnancy test in 2018 but, unfortunately, we lost our baby in the 24th week due to a serious genetic defect. I was of course overjoyed this time too, but I was also terrified. At the beginning of the pregnancy I was afraid every day that something would go wrong or something would be wrong with my baby. I found out I was pregnant on the 23rd of December, so it was an early Christmas present.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Don’t give up! Even if it doesn’t happen straight away. And most importantly – you are in this together, support each other. Try to find out what is causing the delay, whether using temperature tests or femSense, to see if your cycle is regular or, after some time, maybe consulting a doctor or fertility clinic.

I would definitely recommend femSense.

Vivien, 28

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello! I am Vivien and I’m 28 years old. My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 1 year. We already have a two year old son and thanks to femSense we are now expecting our second little miracle.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
We always knew that we wanted two children and when we moved into our new home we knew the time was right for our second little miracle.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I am a very impatient person. We got pregnant first try with our first child, so I expected it to happen just as quickly with the second – it didn’t. I did a little internet research to find out how I could determine when I ovulate and came across femSense. I thought it was worth giving it a go and what can I say – it worked first try.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I have only used femSense once. The application was very easy and you don’t even feel the patch.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
I am actually fairly in tune with my body but when I came off the pill for the second time, everything was all mixed up. I wasn’t expecting that because the first time I stopped the pill my cycle remained the same. I tried ovulation tests but they were not what I was looking for, they were too inaccurate and difficult to interpret.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I was delighted. I did the test first thing in the morning and it was positive.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
I would definitely recommend femSense, especially if you are looking for a hormone and chemical free method.

Never give up hope.

Claudia, 36

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am Claudia, I am 36 years old and I have been with my boyfriend for almost five years. I am sporty and like to be outside in the fresh air with my two dogs. Walks in the forest are the best form of relaxation for me! I am a bundle of energy and need to be constantly active to tire myself out.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
We were enthusiastic and positive. We never considered that it might not be easy. In the first year you don’t give it much thought if it’s taking longer than you expected but then the question start – What’s wrong? Why isn’t it happening for us?

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
I have endometriosis and one fallopian tube which doesn’t work properly but, even after 4 unsuccessful rounds of ivf, I never gave up the hope that we would get pregnant naturally. When a friend of mine recommended femSense I decided to give it a try. Not only do I not ovulate regularly, I don’t feel it either. femSense was perfect for me.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
I used 3 patches but took one month off in between. The system is really simple and easy to use.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
When you are actively trying to get pregnant you join forums and gather information. I had never thought much about it in the past. The right timing is of course essential – otherwise it doesn’t work ;-)

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
Indescribable! Overjoyed!

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Never give up hope and don’t believe everything the doctors tell you. Several gynecologists recommended artificial insemination for us, they said we would never get pregnant naturally. And lo and behold, our 5% chance was enough.

Timing is crucial.

Elisabeth, 31

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Hello, I am Elisabeth, 31 years old and mother of 2 children, I work in sales and have been with my new partner for almost two years.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
When we decided to have a child together, the pressure was on whether we would even be fertile.

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?
After months of “practicing” the anxiety grew that it wouldn’t happen. Because I thought I had probably always calculated my ovulation incorrectly, I wanted to see if it could work with femSense.

How long did you use femSense before getting pregnant and how easy did you find it to use?
Two months. The application is really simple.

Did you know about your cycle beforehand and how important timing is when trying to get pregnant?
Yes, I thought I did but then when it didn’t work, I got very unsure.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
I had a suspicion on the day my period was due. I had some cramps and thought it hadn’t worked again but when my period still hadn’t started the following day, I thought I might be pregnant. The next day I did a pregnancy test and it was positive.

From your personal experience, what advice would you give other couples trying to get pregnant?
Try not to stress and timing is crucial.

I was tired of taking my temperature every morning.

Julia, 33

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I am Julia, 33 years old, and mum of a 4-year-old daughter - who is more of a rascal than a princess. I have been in a relationship with my partner for almost 10 years, but we are unmarried because we don’t want the fuss of a wedding. I’ m a blogger and social media manager in the child and baby industry, I am the voice behind a few different social media channels.

What was it like for you when you decided you wanted to have a baby?
We discussed it for a long time and then waited for the perfect time for our second child. And then we hoped…

Why did you choose femSense Ovulation Detection?

Hello, I’m Katja. I am 29 almost 30 years old, my husband and I have been together since February last year and we got married in February this year.

We had both decided that we wanted to have children. We discussed it last year in October and quickly decided I would stop taking the pill.

As I knew nothing at all about my cycle I did some research on the options available to me. I decided quickly that femSense was right for me.

I knew that the menstrual cycle was important but because my cycle can be quite irregular, I ordered femSense.

How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant?
We actually knew before having it officially confirmed. We were very excited. Even though we hadn’t planned it so early, but you can rarely plan babies exactly. We are really happy. And when we saw it at the gynecologist’s we were even more excited.

It is essential to know your cycle. Don’t let your wish to get pregnant take over because this has a negative impact on your chances of getting pregnant.
