Surprising Myths and Facts About infertility

Infertility has many myths associated with it; today let’s discuss some common myths and facts about infertility. 

Myth 1: Having sex everyday enhances fertility. 

Fact: No. In fact, it may decrease the chances.  As the egg’s life is only 24 hours long, having sex more often will only help during the woman’s fertile period. 

Myth 2: Infertility is hereditary 

Fact: False, most infertility problems are not hereditary it may depend on an individual lifestyle, and health status. 

Myth 3: Drinking wine is better than drinking alcohol 

Fact: Alcohol in any form may lead to fetal defects. Therefore, it is better to avoid it while planning for pregnancy. 

Myth 4: A late pregnancy is easier if your menstruation cycle has been regular. 

Fact: It is true that you are in your fertile period till you menstruate, but remember that the health and quality of your egg has no relation with your periods.

IVF Treatment: Hope for infertile couples

IVF or in vitreo fertilization is a method to treat infertility worldwide. As we all know all that

infertility is a common modern day problem which means when you are unable to conceive naturally despite of one year of trying. As you age your fertility levels will decline and then you opt for IVF treatment to conceive So, it is very important to know things about IVF treatment before jumping into it: 

1. When women's and men’s fertility really starts to fall

First and foremost you should know about the time or age when a woman's fertility starts to drop dramatically. It starts declining from the age of 30 onwards. Diminishing egg numbers along with diminishing egg quality is also one issue. A simple blood test, known as AMH, will tell a woman if she has a normal number of eggs for her age but tells us little about the quality of the eggs remaining. On the other hand, men's fertility can also reduce with age. While women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, men are continually producing new sperm. However, as men age, the quality of the genes in their sperm deteriorates from 40 onwards.
