4 Busting Myths of Infertility | Janam Test Tube Baby Centre

Infertility is a bit complex and often misunderstood condition that has a lot of confusion surrounding it. Medical science has advanced rapidly over the years with newer technologies being used in the treatment of fertility issues. There are many beliefs around the society for the treatment of infertility. However, it is important to separate the myths from the facts.

Myth 1: Infertility is typically the woman’s fault

One-third of infertility cases are caused by male reproductive issues, one-third by female reproductive issues, and one-third by both parties or by unknown factors. So its not always the female reproductive issues only.

Myth 2: Couples should always try for at least a year before seeing an OBGYN

Usually, infertility is defined as one year of unprotected intercourse without conception. However, this is more of a guideline, than an actual rule. Many couples should seek medical help sooner — for example, women over age 35, those with a history of irregular periods, fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic adhesive disease, ectopic pregnancy or multiple miscarriages. Same for couples with a male history of surgery, infection or trauma to the genitals.

Myth 3: Using birth control pills can cause infertility

The pill doesn’t impact fertility, either positively or negatively. In fact, some types of pills can help women regulate their cycles. And a woman’s normal menstrual cycle will almost always continue within a month or two after she’s stopped taking the pill. Therefore, women should not be concerned that oral contraceptives are detrimental to their future fertility desires.

Myth 4: Infertility is a psychological problem, not a physical one.

Friends and family may suggest that infertility is due to you being under stress or due to worrying too much. While infertility is usually a condition of the reproductive system, in 19% of cases the cause is unexplained. Stress in any situation is never good for your health and studies indicate that time to achieve pregnancy can be reduced and success rates for achieving pregnancy increased by cutting down on stress. Start relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation for about 10-20 minutes a day, which can relieve your stress and improve your overall well-being.
