When it comes to fertility, there’s no shortage of advice—but not all of it is accurate. Here are a few common myths we often hear:

Myth #1: If you have regular periods, you’re definitely ovulating.
Not always. While regular cycles often suggest ovulation, they don’t guarantee that an egg is being released every month.

Myth #2: Fertility is only a woman’s concern.
Male factors contribute to nearly half of all infertility cases. Evaluating both partners is an important part of a fertility assessment.

Myth #3: Low AMH means you can’t get pregnant.
AMH measures ovarian reserve, not egg quality. Many women with low AMH have gone on to achieve successful pregnancies.

Myth #4: Age only affects female fertility.
Male fertility also changes with age. Sperm quality and DNA integrity can gradually decline over time.

Myth #5: If pregnancy hasn’t happened after a few months, something must be wrong.
For healthy couples under 35, it can take up to a year to conceive naturally. If you’re over 35, or have known reproductive concerns, it’s a good idea to seek an earlier evaluation.

Understanding the facts can help you make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary stress. Every fertility journey is unique, and a personalized assessment is often the best place to start.
