If you’re trying to conceive with PCOS and sex has started to feel timed, pressured, awkward, or like one more thing you have to “get right,” this episode is for you.
In this episode of PCOS and Prosecco, I’m joined by Laura Federico and Morgan Miller, a sex therapist and midwife, for a conversation about timed intercourse, body literacy, ovulation tracking, fertility stress, and learning how to trust your body again.
Because you wanted a baby.
You did not ask for a sex life that feels like a calendar invite with side effects.
We talk about why trying to get pregnant with PCOS can make women feel disconnected from their bodies, how stress can affect arousal and intimacy, and why tracking everything does not always mean you understand what your body is trying to tell you.
Inside this episode, we cover:
Why timed sex can feel so heavy when you’re trying to conceive with PCOS
How pressure, stress, and fear can affect arousal and connection
What body literacy actually means in real life
Why PCOS can make ovulation signs feel confusing or unpredictable
Why apps and calendar-based tracking often miss PCOS ovulation patterns
How feeling safe in your body can change the way you move through fertility
What to do when ovulation sex starts feeling mechanical instead of connected
This episode is your reminder that your body is not broken.
It may just be speaking a language you were never taught.
And once you learn how to read your body’s signals, fertility becomes less about control and more about connection.
