Myth: The More Sex You Have, the Better Your Chances of Getting Pregnant

By Tosaporn Ruengkris, M.D., SAFE Fertility Clinic, Gaysorn Amarin and Ramindra Branch (The Medical License Number: 8962)

The idea that having sex every day or multiple times a day will help you conceive faster may actually do more harm than good. Having sex too frequently can prevent sperm from being replenished quickly enough, resulting in lower concentration and quality.

Having sex "every other day" during your Fertile Window the time when a woman's body has the highest chance of getting pregnant or the 2 - 3 days before and after ovulation, helps ensure sperm are strong enough and present in sufficient numbers to fertilize the egg effectively.

Creating a relaxed, low pressure environment allows your hormonal system to function better, which positively affects both sperm quality and ovulation naturally helping to increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Myth: The More You Exercise, the Easier It Is to Get Pregnant

By Nattharut Kulphaweesuwan, M.D., SAFE Fertility Clinic, Gaysorn Amarin Branch (The Medical License Number: 37453)

Regular exercise is great, but working out too hard (High-Intensity Training) or restricting your diet until your body fat drops below a healthy threshold can actually become a cause of infertility.

A woman's body needs a certain amount of fat to produce estrogen hormone. If you over exercise, your brain may signal that the body isn't ready to reproduce, leading to irregular periods or failure to ovulate (Anovulation).

For those looking to increase their chances of getting pregnant, focus on moderate exercise such as brisk walking, yoga, or swimming to improve blood flow to the uterus instead of intense weight training or heavy cardio.

Myth: Long-Term Birth Control Use Causes Infertility and a Dry Uterus

By Manop Janthanaphan, M.D., M.Sc., SAFE Fertility Clinic, Phuket Branch (The Medical License Number: 28364)

Many people worry that birth control pills will make it harder to have children in the future, or that they will permanently reduce fertility.

In reality, birth control pills do not permanently damage your ability to have children and do not affect egg quality. After stopping use, your body may simply need some time to rebalance its hormones and return to a normal cycle which varies from person to person (generally within 1 - 3 months).

If your period hasn't returned to regularity after stopping, or you haven't conceived after 6 months, the cause may not be the pill it could be other factors such as age or an underlying condition like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), both of which are common contributors to infertility.

Myth: Just Count to Day 14 and You'll Get Pregnant Naturally

By Nujaree Leelasuwattanakul, M.D., SAFE Fertility Clinic (The Medical License Number: 37331)

Many people believe that the highest chance of getting pregnant only occurs on "Day 14" of the cycle. While counting ovulation days is a good foundation, it's not a one size fits all formula. Each person's body has different factors including stress, hormones, and underlying conditions and cycle lengths vary. Ovulation can shift from cycle to cycle, directly affecting your chances of getting pregnant.

Although an egg is only ready to be fertilized for about 24 hours after it's released, the Fertile Window the time when a woman's body has the highest chance of getting pregnant in her cycle is wider than most people think. Healthy sperm can survive in the uterus waiting for the egg for up to 3 - 4 days. Focusing only on "Day 14" may cause you to miss the golden window when sperm and egg have the best chance of meeting.

If you've been trying naturally and counting days for more than 1 year (or 6 months for women aged 35 and over) without conceiving, this may be a warning sign of infertility. Using an LH Test or ultrasound monitoring by a doctor will give more accurate results and can also help assess egg reserve while your body is still ready.

Myth: Infertility Is Only a Woman's Problem

By Chularat Suwandee, M.D., SAFE Fertility Clinic, Sriracha Branch (The Medical License Number: 50491)

The long held belief that infertility is caused solely by the woman has led many couples to have the woman do all the prep work. But in reality, the causes of infertility are split roughly one third female factors, one third male factors, and one third a combination of both or unexplained causes.

Male reproductive health is not reflected by external appearance it comes down to the quality of his sperm: concentration, count, motility, and morphology. Some factors like smoking, alcohol, and quality of sleep have an effect significantly on sperm quantity and quality where fertilization becomes difficult.

Infertility is not one person's problem. No matter how well the woman prepares, if the sperm aren't up to par, the chances of getting pregnant remain low. Going together for a Fertility Check-up, a Semen Analysis alongside a uterine and ovarian check-up are an important step that can help enhance your chances of getting pregnant in the most targeted way possible.

Fertility myths whether about frequency of sex, exercise habits, birth control, ovulation tracking, or the assumption that infertility is a woman's issue alone can all hold couples back without them even knowing it. Resetting your understanding and starting with accurate information is the first and most important step toward increasing your chances of getting pregnant.
