Infertility is a growing concern among women, yet misconceptions and myths continue to surround the topic. These myths can cause unnecessary stress and confusion for couples trying to conceive. At Indigo Women’s Center, we believe in providing accurate, science-backed information to help women understand their fertility better. In this blog, we debunk some of the most common female infertility myths and highlight the fertility solutions available at Indigo Women’s Center.
Myth #1: Infertility is Always a Woman’s Problem
Fact: Infertility is not solely a female issue. Studies show that in about 40 to 50 percent of cases, male factor infertility plays a role. Causes such as low sperm count, poor motility, and hormonal imbalances can contribute to conception difficulties. It is crucial for both partners to undergo a comprehensive fertility evaluation to determine the root cause of infertility.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
At Indigo Women’s Center, we provide detailed fertility assessments for both men and women, including semen analysis, hormonal evaluations, and advanced diagnostic testing to identify the exact cause of infertility.
Myth #2: If You Have Regular Periods, You Cannot Be Infertile
Fact: While regular menstrual cycles indicate ovulation, they do not guarantee fertility. Conditions such as endometriosis, tubal blockages, or diminished ovarian reserve can affect a woman’s ability to conceive despite having regular periods. Other factors, including poor egg quality, thyroid imbalances, or uterine abnormalities, may also impact fertility.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
We offer advanced ovulation tracking, ovarian reserve testing, ultrasound scans, and tubal patency tests to determine the exact cause of infertility. Based on the diagnosis, we provide personalized fertility treatments such as ovulation induction, IUI, and IVF.
Myth #3: Age Does Not Affect Female Fertility Until Menopause
Fact: Female fertility starts declining after the age of 30, with a significant drop after 35. As a woman ages, both egg quantity and quality decrease, making conception more difficult. The risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities also increases with age.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
For women facing age-related infertility, we offer egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) for fertility preservation, along with advanced assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, ICSI, and embryo freezing to maximize the chances of pregnancy.
Myth #4: Stress is the Primary Cause of Infertility
Fact: While stress can impact overall health and hormonal balance, it is rarely the sole cause of infertility. Underlying medical conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, tubal blockages, or uterine fibroids are more likely to contribute to difficulties in conception.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
We provide comprehensive fertility screening to identify medical causes of infertility and offer holistic support, including lifestyle counseling, dietary recommendations, and stress management techniques to improve fertility outcomes.
Myth #5: IVF is the Only Option for Infertile Women
Fact: While IVF is a highly effective treatment, it is not the only option for infertility. Many couples conceive through less invasive treatments such as ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or surgical interventionsfor conditions like fibroids or endometriosis. The right treatment depends on the underlying cause of infertility.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
We offer a step-by-step approach to fertility treatment, starting with medication-assisted ovulation, IUI, minimally invasive surgeries, and advanced procedures like IVF and ICSI when necessary. Our specialists design personalized fertility plans to maximize the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Myth #6: If You Have Already Had a Child, You Cannot Experience Infertility
Fact: Secondary infertility, which is the inability to conceive after having a previous child, is common and can be caused by factors such as age, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle changes, uterine conditions, or male fertility issues. Just because a woman has conceived before does not guarantee future pregnancies without difficulty.
Indigo Women’s Center Solution:
We offer comprehensive evaluations for secondary infertility, including hormonal tests, ultrasound scans, tubal patency assessments, and semen analysis, followed by tailored fertility treatments to address specific challenges.
