Bee Explains
There are many myths surrounding fertility that can cause unnecessary fear, shame, or delay in seeking treatment. Dr. Bee Positive is here to bust those myths wide open!
Myth 1: Infertility is always a woman's problem
FALSE! Infertility affects men and women equally. About 40% of cases are due to male factors. Always get both partners tested.
Myth 2: IVF always results in twins or multiples
With modern single embryo transfer (SET) techniques, the risk of multiple pregnancies has significantly reduced while maintaining high success rates.
Myth 3: Stress causes infertility
While stress can affect overall health, there is no scientific evidence that stress alone causes infertility. However, managing stress helps your overall well-being during treatment.
Myth 4: IVF is only for older women
IVF is recommended for various conditions including PCOS, blocked tubes, low sperm count, and more — age is just one factor.
Myth 5: Natural conception is always better
Sometimes medical help is the safest and most effective path to parenthood. There's no shame in asking for help — that's what we're here for!
