When I confided in an acquaintance that my husband and I were trying to have a baby, he smiled smugly (at least it seemed so to me), and said, “There is no try. There’s only making love.” As someone struggling with infertility, it was infuriating and insulting to be told that the problem was psychological, and that I should just relax. Especially considering how relaxed I was when we first started trying. Infertility is an actual medical condition of the reproductive system. Stress can result from struggles with infertility … not cause it. Hopefully, learning the truth about some of these fertility myths will just make the process easier. [Wexner Medical Center]
