00:005 Common Fertility Myths Debunked

00:02Think you know everything about fertility. Think again. From crazy superstitions to outdated advice,

00:08let's debunk 5 of the most common fertility myths you've probably heard, and maybe even believed.

00:14Myth 1, You can't get pregnant while on your period.

00:17False. While it's less likely, it's still possible especially if you have a short cycle or a regular

00:23ovulation. Sperm can live inside the body for up to 5 days. So don't assume red week is a risk-free

00:29week. Myth 2, Men Don't Have Fertility Issues. Only women struggle with fertility. Wrong again,

00:36about 40-50% of fertility problems are linked to male factors, like low sperm count or motility.

00:43Fertility is a teen game, folks. Myth 3, Age Doesn't Affect Men's Fertility.

00:48Age only affects women. While women's fertility drops sharply after 35, men aren't immune either.

00:54Sperm quality can decline with age, leading to increased risks of genetic issues and lower

00:59chances of conception. Father time affects both sexes. Myth 4, You must have sex every day to get

01:06pregnant. More sex means better chances. Actually, having sex every other day around ovulation is just

01:13as effective, and gives sperm time to regenerate. Timing is everything, not just quantity.

01:19Myth 5, Birth Control Causes Long-Term Infertility. Birth Control Ruins Fertility. Nope, most women

01:26regain their fertility soon after stopping birth control. For some, it may take a few months,

01:32but there's no evidence of long-term damage unless there was a pre-existing condition.

01:36So, next time you hear someone drop one of these myths, hit them with the facts.

01:42Fertility is complex, personal, and not one-size-fits-all. If you're trying to conceive or

01:47just planning for the future, talk to a medical professional, not Google or gossip.
