5 Common Fertility Myths — Debunked

Trying to grow your family can feel overwhelming — and confusing. There’s a lot of advice out there… but not all of it is true! Let’s clear up some common myths:

✅ Myth 1: “It happens right away for everyone.”

Reality: Even for healthy couples, it can take up to 12 months to conceive naturally. You’re not behind!

✅ Myth 2: “If your cycles are irregular, you can’t get pregnant.”

Reality: Irregular cycles may mean inconsistent ovulation — but medications like Letrozole or Clomid can help support regular ovulation.

✅ Myth 3: “Stress has nothing to do with fertility.”

Reality: High stress can affect hormones that regulate your cycle. Small steps like better sleep, gentle exercise, and mindful breaks really do help.

✅ Myth 4: “Infertility is always the woman’s issue.”

Reality: About one-third of infertility cases involve male factor fertility. It’s a team effort!

✅ Myth 5: “If I wait too long, there’s nothing I can do.”

Reality: Age does affect fertility — but testing, ovulation support, and early intervention can make a difference.
