Exploding 5 Infertility Myths - Infertility TV

Dr Randy Morris MD-The BOARD CERTIFIED fertility expert with weekly TTC tips on InfertilityTV



Dr. Morris here. As an infertility expert, I see lots of couples trying to conceive and I hear and see a lot of myths. You have enough stuff to worry about without having to follow ridiculous advice which complicates your life.



Myth number 1

Position during sex matters. You on top? Him on top? Sitting? Standing? Remember these four words. It just doesnt matter. There has never been a single shred of serious scientific evidence that says position during sex matters. Have intercourse however you like. Just make sure he ejaculates inside of you.



Myth number 2

You have to keep lying down after sex. Does not help. Get up and go to the bathroom if you want!



Myth number 3

You have to have intercourse multiple times. Wrong! There is a three day window. Two days before ovulation. One day before ovulation or on the day of ovulation. If you have intercourse on any of those days, you will maximize your chances for pregnancy that month. Not sure when you ovulate? Use an ovulation predictor test!! Can’t afford one? OK. If you have sex every other day, three times around the time you think you ovulate, you will still maximize your chances



Myth number 4

Men have to wear boxer shorts to get you pregnant. Not true. It actually doesn’t matter what type of underwear he wears. Don’t believe me? Check out this video!



Myth number 5

There are fertility Super Foods! This is the silliest myth of all. I went to the top 15 YouTube videos claiming to have the keys to conceiving quickly. I can tell you with certainty that none of the following foods will do anything special for your fertility. Chickpeas. Pomegranate. Pumpkin seeds. Almonds. Chili peppers or Bananas



OK. I hope I have been able to simplify your life. Have you heard about some tip that is supposed to help you get pregnant? Let us know in the comments and we will cover it in a future episode
