Great blog article about the 11 myths fertility docs hear all the time.
I would just add:
1. My uterus is tilted so I must be infertile. Nope! Not true. The tilt of your uterus won’t affect your pregnancy chances.
2. I took birth control for a really long time so I have to wait a long time for it to come out of my system. Nope! Not true. Birth control pills are out of your system immediately. If you stopped pills and are having a hard time conceiving, find out why.
3. After sex, everything falls out. There must be something wrong with me. Nope! Not true. Sperm cells swim fast and it takes them 2 minutes to get to your fallopian tubes after intercourse. What you see coming out is supposed to do just that. It’s called gravity. Semen isn’t supposed to travel above the cervix.
Hope this helps!
