Re: ten infertility myths busted---article.

You know, its funny how those "myths" are so obvious to us all now, going through IF. I wish I didn't know them all too well.

BTW, the boys look adorable!!!

Re: ten infertility myths busted---article.

I hated being told to relax etc when it took me a couple years to get pg and then the fear I had of miscarriage. It totally made me feel worse and more stressed out!

I am so glad that the article included this:

"The Pill Reduces Fertility
No evidence shows that the consistent use of birth control pills affects future fertility. Because they remain in a woman's system for around 24 hours at a time, birth control pills never make much of an impact on the body's ability to reproduce. If anything, using the pill or one of its hormonal counterparts such as the patch or the ring can actually help fertility in some women. "Birth control pills have been used to treat and reduce symptoms of disorders such as endometriosis, which is a factor in infertility," says Dr. Brasner. "

Can people please STOP asking the "I have been on the pill for eleventy billion years can I still get pregnant" question now?
