You’ve probably heard a lot of conflicting advice about fertility: “Just relax and it’ll happen,” or “You’re still young, there’s plenty of time.” Some of it might come from well-meaning family members, others from outdated information online. But when it comes to something as personal and important as your fertility, it’s time to separate fact from fiction.
Let’s break down the most common fertility myths—and what you should actually be doing instead.
Myth #1: Fertility Isn’t an Issue Until You’re 35
Reality: Your fertility starts to decline slowly after your late 20s, and more noticeably after 32. That doesn’t mean you can’t conceive later—but it does mean you should be informed and proactive earlier. Egg quality, ovarian reserve, and hormone levels start changing well before age 35.
Takeaway: You don’t have to wait until you’re “ready.” Understanding your fertility in your 20s or early 30s can help you make more empowered decisions later—whether you want to conceive now or freeze your eggs.Fertility tests make it easy to assess your reproductive health and take informed next steps.

Myth #2: If You Get Periods Regularly, You’re Definitely Ovulating
Reality: Regular periods are a good sign, but they don’t always mean you’re ovulating consistently or releasing a healthy egg. You could be having anovulatory cycles (periods without ovulation) and not know it.
Takeaway: Simple hormone testing and ovulation tracking can give you clarity—and help you avoid unnecessary delays when you’re ready to conceive.
Myth #3: You Can Just “Try Naturally” for a Year Before Seeking Help
Reality: That old guideline isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you’re over 30, have a condition like PCOS or endometriosis, or have irregular cycles, waiting a whole year could mean wasted time and added stress.
Takeaway: Don’t wait. If something feels off, or if you want to understand your fertility proactively, get a preconception checkup. At Paloma Care, we help you catch potential issues early and plan with confidence.
Myth #4: Fertility Is a Women’s-Only Issue
Reality: Up to 40% of infertility cases involve male factors like low sperm count or motility. Yet, women are often the only ones tested initially.
Takeaway: Fertility is a team sport. If you’re planning a pregnancy with a partner, both of you should get assessed.

Myth #5: IVF Is the First (or Only) Option if You Struggle to Conceive
Reality: Most women don’t need IVF. Many fertility issues can be resolved with simpler interventions like hormone balancing, cycle tracking, or ovulation induction.
Takeaway: A good preconception plan starts with a complete picture of your health—not assumptions or rushed treatments.
