Dealing with infertility can be a traumatic experience. Here is a list of some fertility myths that must be dispelled as you look for the ideal treatment option for your condition:

 

 

 

 


  • Infertility is a woman’s problem. Statistics show that only 35% of the causes of infertility can be solely related to problems with the female reproductive system. Problems with the male reproductive system, unknown causes, and a combination of factors play a significant role in infertility.

  • Age is just a number. The truth is that age plays a significant role in fertility. A woman’s fertility declines rapidly after the age of 35 years. Men experience a decline in their fertility after the age of 40 years.

  • You should have sex every day if you want to get pregnant. Most fertility experts recommend sex every other day when women are in the middle of their menstrual cycle.

  • Being obese or too thin does not affect fertility. Improper eating habits can have a negative impact on fertility. Studies show that women with a BMI over 30 or those who are malnourished have difficulty getting pregnant.

  • All you need to do is relax: If you have been trying to get pregnant unsuccessfully for more than a year (or 6 months if you are over 35) the possibility that you may have a treatable medical condition should be fully explored.

A good fertility doctor will be able to assist you with separating the myths from reality. However, finding the right fertility doctor to guide you through the process of achieving a successful pregnancy can be a daunting task. Some important factors when choosing your doctor are:

 

 

 

 


  • Specialized training: A reproductive endocrinologist is a doctor with specialized training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and would be ideally suited to offer advanced and effective fertility treatment.

  • Adequate Experience: Your doctor should have a lot of experience in successfully treating infertility conditions.

  • Compassionate Disposition: Your doctor and auxiliary staff should be of a compassionate disposition and be able to patiently explain the fertility treatment indetail to make sure you fully understand and are comfortable with it.

  • State-of-the-art Facility: The fertility center should be fully equipped with advanced cutting-edge technology to offer a wide range of fertility treatments.
