Take a look at seven animals that will make you thank your lucky stars you were born human.
Timing your ovulation, taking prenatal vitamins - getting pregnant can all seem like so much work. But next time you're lamenting the fact that conception can be a lot more complicated than 'just having an early night', spare a thought for our friends in the animal kingdom.
Imagine having sex with your partner for the very first time. The lights are low, there's the buzz of anticipation in the air, you're both moving towards climax and then: BAM.

Yep, you're not the only one having a hard time.
