Top 10 Fertility Myths with Dr. Marika Raff and Dr. Lee Caperton

Fertility is a deeply personal journey, and with so much information circulating online and through word of mouth, it’s easy to get caught up in myths and misconceptions. That's why Dr. Marika Raff and Dr. Lee Caperton, experts from Caperton Fertility Institute, are here to set the record straight by debunking the top 10 fertility myths that may be holding you back or causing unnecessary confusion.

Watch the video below to learn the truth behind these common fertility myths!

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the myths they discuss:

1. Women Can Get Pregnant Anytime During Their Cycle

This is one of the most common misconceptions. Dr. Raff explains that a woman can only conceive during a small window around ovulation, and tracking your ovulation can be a crucial tool for increasing your chances of pregnancy.

2. Age Doesn't Affect Fertility Until After 40

While fertility does decline more sharply after 40, Dr. Caperton shares how it actually begins to drop in a woman's early 30s, with noticeable changes by 35. Understanding your fertility timeline is important for making informed decisions.

3. IVF is Only for Women Who Can’t Conceive Naturally

Many believe that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a last resort, but Dr. Raff clarifies how IVF can be part of many fertility plans, from male infertility factors to genetic screening and more.

4. Stress Causes Infertility

Stress is often blamed for fertility problems, but Dr. Caperton dives into why stress, while important to manage, is not a direct cause of infertility.
