5 common misconceptions about conception and pregnancy

1. If pregnancy does not occur after 6 months, does the man or woman have health problems?

Statistics say that only 60% of couples who do not use contraception get pregnant within 6 months, and after 30 years this figure becomes even slightly lower.

However, this is not a reason for panic, infertility is recorded only in 3% of couples, the rest become parents only a little later than the specified period.

2. Is it very difficult to get pregnant after 35?

Age plays a role, but for a woman after 35, the doctor will say the same thing as for a twenty-five-year-old woman, she should try to conceive a child at least 6 months.

3. Does the success of conception depend on the age of the man?

Changes in the reproductive system in men begin 10 years later than in women; a man can become a father even at 50.

4. Do you need to have regular sex to conceive?

Having a regular sex life increases the chances of pregnancy, but doctors differ on how much sex should be. For example, daily intercourse only reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, because the sperm must acquire certain qualities.

5. Is it possible to get pregnant after canceling hormonal drugs only after three months?

This is a myth, modern contraceptives allow you to start trying to get pregnant immediately after they are canceled.
