Don't forget about sex while urging for a baby

Many couples have a their sex life ruined by the time they look for in vitro fertilization treatment.

Specialists urge couples who go for IVF not to give up their sex life just because they conceive in vitro. This happens due to the fact that many partners who want a baby "try too hard" to conceive thus turning sex into a task. Experts say that some couples become so focused on conception that when they actually address fertility experts they already do not have sex.

Dr Hayley Matic, a specialist at Melbourne IVF emphasizes the importance of healthy sex life for every couple. International studies already showed the benefits of sexual well-being, including those physical and emotional.

Initially, both partners trying for a baby may become very enthusiastic about conception but with the time as they see no results their intimate life fades away. At some point, their decision to go for IVF, where they do not need to have sex, contributes to the end of their sex life.

In many cases, couples cannot conceive simply because they do not have sex. Specialists warn that intimate problems are rarely discussed when couples try to solve fertility problems and couples should come in terms with their sex life .

When sex is no longer a pleasure but more like a scheduled task with an objective of making a baby, men and women soon forget about pleasure side. In some situations a burden of conception puts an end to any sexual activity.

Fertility experts plan to discuss the benefits of sexual well-being and remind all couples that sex is really not about having a baby only.
