A young woman comes to see me today asking for advice about getting pregnant. The darling girl is only 18, and has been trying for less than 6 months. I tell her first of all not to worry.
"If you lock a perfectly healthy man and woman is a cupboard and let them out after a year, there is still a less than 50% chance of the woman becoming pregnant"
I educate her a little about predicting the time of ovulation, but then emphasise the importance of a relaxed attitude. Sometimes the more stressed about getting pregnant a woman is, the less likely she is to achieve what she wants. I close with these remarks:
" The fact is, a man meets a woman. They find each other unbearably attractive and do something about it
. That's how babies are made. So just go out there and enjoy yourselves"
