When it comes to fertility, misinformation spreads faster than facts. Many couples fall victim to myths that can create unnecessary stress and confusion. At AashaKiran IVF, North India’s most trusted and fastest-growing IVF chain, we strive to separate fact from fiction. With insights from Dr. Asmita Mahla, Medical Director with over 20+ years of experience let’s debunk some common fertility myths and reveal the truth.
🚫 Myth 1: Infertility is Always a Woman’s Problem
✅ Fact: Infertility affects both men and women equally. Male infertility contributes to nearly 40-50% of fertility challenges. Low sperm count, motility issues, and lifestyle factors can impact a man’s ability to conceive.
🚫 Myth 2: If You’ve Had a Child Before, You Won’t Have Fertility Issues
✅ Fact: Secondary infertility is a real condition. Age, lifestyle changes, or underlying health issues can develop over time, making it harder to conceive again.
🚫 Myth 3: Stress Alone Causes Infertility
✅ Fact: While stress can impact hormone regulation, infertility is often linked to medical conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or low sperm quality, which require professional diagnosis and treatment.
🚫 Myth 4: You Can Only Get Pregnant on Day 14 of Your Cycle
✅ Fact: Ovulation varies for each woman. The fertile window usually lasts 5-6 days, and ovulation may not always occur on day 14. Tracking ovulation through methods like basal body temperature or ovulation kits can help.
🚫 Myth 5: IVF Always Results in Twins or Triplets
✅ Fact: Advances in reproductive technology allow for single-embryo transfers, reducing the chances of multiple pregnancies while maintaining high success rates.
🚫 Myth 6: Age Doesn’t Affect Male Fertility
✅ Fact: While men can produce sperm throughout life, sperm quality declines with age, leading to a higher risk of genetic abnormalities and lower conception rates.
🚫 Myth 7: Lifestyle Doesn’t Affect Fertility
✅ Fact: Factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, and obesity can negatively impact both male and female fertility. Healthy lifestyle changes can significantly improve reproductive health.
