Burnout when trying to Conceive

There is so, SO, little written on sex when trying to conceive. In particular, if you've been trying for a while or struggling with fertility. Sex can lead to burnout, exhaustion, frustration and distress.
Desire can wilter and frustration can arise.
I know this post is easier said than done, but if you can find small ways of easing the already overwhelming time, the better: Talk with each other and to each other, find intimacy and moments of closeness outside the bedroom, bring new things in as often as you can, and be tender with yourselves.

I do want to add one thing to clarify! On the slide regarding saliva, you can absolutely have oral, just don't use it as lube!
