Infertility is a common issue among couples who are trying to conceive. In India, around 15% of couples face infertility issues. Even if you are a single man or woman, Infertility can cause worry for you. In India, the prevalence of primary Infertility in women is about 40-50%. In men, 30-40% and is constantly shooting up in males. However, it becomes the most challenging when you want to make a baby.
There is a lot of emotional and physical turmoil a couple goes through when trying to conceive a baby without any visible results. Infertility can cause severe mental challenges to cope with the trauma of constantly trying and becoming the centre of conversations. Despite medical procedures available to treat Infertility; a couple might come across many people suggesting different ideas- rather than infertility myths on how to get pregnant! Here are some infertility myths you must know to avoid overwhelming yourself with solutions.
Infertility Myths:
Infertility is a woman’s issue:
Not at all. In our society, we generally make pregnancy a women-centric issue- but it is not. It takes two people to make a happy pregnancy. In fact, Infertility is more prevalent in men than women- it is just less-talked.
So, both need to take equal care of their fertility health. Men should watch out for testicle pains, and erectile dysfunctions and women shall take care of menstrual flow, pains, timeliness of periods and more.
All you need to do is relax:
Yes, Infertility can be triggered by chronic stress and depression. It is not a psychological issue. People might tell you not to stress, and it is probably all in your head. But that’s not true. Infertility is a medical condition and requires medical understanding and treatment.
While a refreshing vacation, a change in mindset and positive thinking will help you challenge the emotional turmoil- it will not treat Infertility.
Try Harder:
Couples are always told to try harder until they succeed in pregnancy. But Infertility is not all about what happens between the sheets- it can be due to many factors such as sperm count, quality, PCOS in women and more. Always listening to try harder can be demoralizing for couples. It is always better to seek medical advice. Don’t get discouraged by such infertility myths!
Age only affects women fertility:
While women fertility is affected with age- it is not only women fertility. However, women’s fertility starts decreasing between ages 32-37, even male fertility declines at 40 and beyond. The semen volume and sperm motility reduce. So, if you cannot conceive, don’t assume it is just the age- seek medical help.
Putting your leg in the air post copulation will help you get pregnant:
Some people suggest and assume that getting up, walking, or especially putting your legs up in the air post intercourse will help you get pregnant. Sperms are chemically designed in a way to reach directly to the egg. There are millions of them in a cubic centimetre of semen. So, it has less to do with the position you choose during intercourse.
Until your medical provider does not tell you otherwise, your position before or after intercourse does not matter. It is an absolute infertility myth!
Being on birth control for a prolonged time leads to Infertility:
Some women fear that if they are on birth control, it will lead to long-term Infertility. Though 80% of women go back to their normal cycle within weeks- after going off birth control pills. If you have trouble conceiving, then only an infertility expert can tell you what’s the reason behind it!
Infertility is hereditary:
It is not. Some conditions are hereditary and might interfere with your physical well-being, but saying Infertility is congenital is too casual and unscientific.
If you are young, Infertility shall not worry you:
Even if you aren’t planning a baby or you are young, your fertile health is essential. Even couples in their 20s face Infertility (about a 7% chance). Young men and women all should keep a check on their physical well-being.
If you have a child, you need not worry about getting pregnant again!
Even if a couple has a child, they can have fertility issues the second time. This is called secondary Infertility. Every time can be different depending on various factors.
Your lifestyle does not affect fertility:
It is an entirely wrong notion. Healthy lifestyle has a direct positive effect on your fertile health. Abstaining from excess smoking, drinking, and drug abuse can make a significant difference in sperm quality, sperm motility and ovulation. Maintaining healthy weight is also an important part of fertility. Neither underweight nor overweight.
It is okay to self-medicate for minor health issues:
That’s a wrong mindset, especially when you are trying to conceive. Self-medicating yourself for minor issues might interfere with your menses. Always consult your gynaecologist.
An extended period of abstinence can improve sperm quality:
An extended period of not having sexual activity can negatively impact sperm motility. While a 3-4 days period is required for a male’s body, prolonged abstinence is harmful.
So, if you are a couple trying to conceive- don’t overburden yourself with these myths. The best course will be to keep in constant touch with an expert and seek medical attention. In most cases, Infertility is treatable by minimal medical interference and medication. If not, IVF has now become a common practice to help couples conceive and has no genetic alterations or medical issues for the baby. To know more call on 9958722133.
The relationship between your thyroid gland and fertility is an essential and, at times, complicated part of conception. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that helps regulate the body’s metabolism and other vital functions such as controlling muscles, heart, and digestive functions. At the same time, fertility is a couple’s ability to conceive a baby with natural conception methods. Thus, any imbalance leading to thyroid disorder affects fertility.
Thyroid Disorders occur when your thyroid gland either overproduces (hyperthyroidism) or under produces (hypothyroidism) thyroid hormones- triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4). Negatively affecting the body’s vital functions leading to dysregulated weight gain or weight loss and hindering the body to function energetically.
Looking at Thyroid Disorder and Fertility Together:
Thyroid disorder can affect both the ability to become pregnant and healthily carry a fetus post- conception. An abnormal thyroid hormone can interfere with ovulation and, in turn, with normalcy in the menstrual cycle. If the thyroid levels are unregulated, it hinders implantation-leading to early miscarriage due to incomplete implantation.
Fertility is not only a female’s concern. Thyroid disorder in men can also interfere with an incapacity to conceive. It destroys sperm quality and sperm movement to fuse with the egg for implantation.
Hypothyroidism and fertility:
A condition in which thyroid levels are lower than the normal range. It affects fertility in the following ways:
Hyperthyroidism and fertility:
A condition in which thyroid levels are more than the normal range. It affects fertility in the following ways:
Thyroid Autoimmunity and Fertility:
A condition in which the body makes antibodies to attack the thyroid gland and turn it on or off- increasing the risk of hypothyroidism. It can affect fertility:
Thyroid conditions can complicate fertility but does not mean it will completely stop it from happening. If you are facing fertility issues, consult a gynaecologist. You are always a step away from the right treatment. For any queries, call on- 9958722133.
Pregnancy planning starts even before conception. Some women actively plan for their successful pregnancy months before conception. While it is still possible to have a healthy pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby without a full-fledged pregnancy plan, developing a plan in one way to make sure that your baby has the highest chances of having good health and that you undergo a healthy pregnancy.
Part of pregnancy planning also involves paying attention to an underlying or pre-existing medical condition that might affect a women’s pregnancy. Those women on medications should review their medication schedule, including any supplements or over-the-counter medicines with their health expert when planning to conceive. This is because some medicines can be harmful to the foetus, while some can be safe. So better to consult your gynecologist.

As you get your diagnosis report stating the infertility problem, the world may seem devastating to you. For so long, you have imagined having children is easy, and with this news that you and your partner cannot conceive, all of that becomes complicated suddenly.
Ofcourse you need time to digest the news and investigate your options.
When you’re ready, discuss your fertility issues with a specialist and seek for IVF treatment. However, you may think that the current doctor isn’t good for you for any number of reasons, or the treatment he/she is suggesting might not work. You may feel discouraged or demotivated. That’s the right time to go for a second opinion.
Why seek a second opinion?
No two infertility cases are alike, and no two approaches to address the problem is the same. You may feel under-confident while getting the treatment. There is an urge to reassure whether your current doctor is advising the right treatment for you. You may have questions or doubts, in your mind. As this is the most significant decision of your life, any error may bring stress for you and your partner.
Your relationship with your current infertility specialist may grow stale with time. If you feel unimportant, uncomfortable, or rushed at any time, you can seek a second opinion. You may not feel comfortable expressing your concerns that bear weight in your treatment.
Reproductive technology is advancing at a fast pace. Your clinic may not have the newer methods and protocols that increase the chances of conception. In that case, you would want to explore your options from a second doctor and seek a different opinion.
Every diagnosis is unique. And need to be treated differently. Sometimes, the diagnostic report uncovers no verifiable cause behind your infertility. This is referred to as unexplained infertility. Often a new fertility doctor will see and recognise a cause that your current doctor is not able to.
In any case, you should seek a second opinion. Dr. Roshi Satija is having a Second Opinion Camp on 23rd January 2021 (Saturday). For free registration, please contact and consult – 9958722133
There’s a lot of controversy around surrogacy, and using a surrogate mother to call a baby your own. The legal process of it is also a little intricate, as it varies from state to state. Even then, surrogacy is a good option for you if you’re not able to get pregnant and have fertility issues.
Surrogacy is a procedure of assisted reproduction where intended parents work with a surrogate mother who carries the baby until birth. Intended parents use the method of surrogacy to grow their families when it’s not possible to do on their own.
Traditional surrogate-
A traditional surrogate gets artificially inseminated with a father’s sperm. She carries the baby and then delivers it to you and your partner. A traditional surrogate is your baby’s biological mother because the father’s sperm are fertilising her egg. However, the donor’s sperm can also be used.
Gestational surrogate-
There is a new technique called- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) which makes it possible to collect the eggs from the mother and fertilise them with the sperm of father in a lab. The embryo is placed into the uterus of a gestational surrogate mother.
If you’re women willing to have a child, consider surrogacy for several reasons-

Get yourself ready to go through a process of evaluations and medical tests to determine the factors that might be interfering with your efforts in getting pregnant. Here’s a little overview of things you must know before you see a fertility doctor.

Fertility test
After knowing your medical history, the doctor will list some fertility tests for you and your partner. Tests include blood work and physical exams, semen analysis, x-ray to get the images of uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
Side effects of drugs given for fertility
Fertility doctors often give medications to stimulate ovulation. Fertility enhancing drugs are an integral part of IVF treatment also. However, these drugs carry risks along with them, which your doctor will discuss with you. So if you are ready to conceive, also know that there may be complications.
Fertility treatment costs
The costs of fertility treatment can go high. However, there are some of the best fertility experts out there who are providing quality treatment at affordable costs. Research and take recommendations from your friends and family find the ideal one for you.
Semen analysis
Semen analysis is a basic fertility test for men, in which a sample is taken after ejaculation and then evaluated in a lab. It gives results including the sperm count, semen volume, movement and shape of sperm cells, and others. However, providing a sample of your sperm can provoke anxiety in men sometimes.
