Know the Facts About Getting Pregnant
MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - May 30, 2011) - (Family Features) Getting pregnant isn't easy for a lot of people. According to RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association, 7.3 million people in the U.S. suffer from infertility. It's an emotional issue that is sometimes clouded -- and made worse -- by misinformation.
To help couples as they embark on their pregnancy journeys, Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, clinical professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine, debunks some common myths about infertility.
When trying to get pregnant, it's also important to consider all factors that may be inhibiting conception. Many women may feel like it's their fault for not getting pregnant, but only 30 percent of all infertility cases are due exclusively to women's issues. "Thirty percent of infertility cases are in fact due to male problems," said Barbara Collura, Executive Director of RESOLVE. "The remaining percent of cases are caused by a combination of male and female problems or unknown factors, so it's important for both partners to be aware that it's really a couples' problem."
