One of my grad school friends has just started trying to conceive this past month. It didn’t work the first time and she was concerned. They had had sex every day for a month! What could be wrong? Did I have any tips? Tricks? (Yeah, ask the lady for whom it took 2.5 years to get pregnant for her helpful conception techniques). I encouraged her not to worry, that it’s much too early for that. Then she told me that she, indeed, had reason to worry. Something was wrong: the “stuff” would come back out of her! How could she get pregnant if it wouldn’t stay put? Oh my. I assured her that this was normal and happens to us all. She was much relieved. Then she gave me a hug.
