Despite scientific advances and increased access to information, many fertility myths still persist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pregnancy<\/strong> is the longed-for desire of many couples. Some see it as a real obstacle course; others see it as a real drama, due to the impossibility of achieving it. Getting pregnant is not always an easy task; in fact, the chances of getting pregnant during a woman's most fertile years, between 23 and 25, is 35 per cent, which shows that it is usually very difficult to conceive, not the other way around.<\/p>\n

The rate of infertility<\/strong> in Spain is 17% of the population. Around 800,000 couples have problems in achieving pregnancy. Around 3% of babies are born through assisted reproduction, which shows the importance of these techniques.<\/p>\n

The<\/strong> fertility<\/strong> is the physiological capacity of living beings to reproduce. Fertility should not be confused with fecundity. Fertility<\/strong> refers to children born and fertility refers to the ability to have children. One can be fertile and not have had any children, or one can have had children (be fertile) and yet no longer be fertile.<\/p>\n

The treatments of fertility<\/strong> have increased in recent years. In the case of Spain, around 15% of couples of childbearing age have problems having children. In 2014, around 25,000 babies were born in our country thanks to assisted reproduction techniques. There are several reasons for this: genetic, environmental factors<\/strong> (such as exposure to pollution and biochemical disruptors, etc.), and social<\/strong> (such as the delay in the age at which women have their first child, the lack of work-life balance, etc.).<\/p>\n

It is important to know which of these beliefs about fertility and reproduction are false. In this way, we can avoid spreading these rumours and doing unnecessary things that we think are good for achieving pregnancy. Among the problems that these misunderstandings can cause when seeking a pregnancy, we highlight the following points;<\/p>\n
