5 myths about Fertility
Media often overstate late-age motherhood, but fertility declines significantly after 35, with increased risks. Male fertility also drops after 40 due to reduced sperm quality, even without obvious signs. Stress alone doesn’t prevent pregnancy, but smoking, alcohol, obesity, and poor lifestyle do—tracking ovulation is more effective than “just relaxing.” Maintaining a healthy BMI (18–25) supports hormonal balance and sperm quality. Hormonal birth control does not reduce future fertility, as the body recovers quickly after stopping it.
