💡 Myth Busting: Let’s talk about getting pregnant.
There’s a lot of well-meaning advice out there, but not all of it is backed by facts. Let's clear up a few common myths and help you feel more confident on your journey to conception.
“You can’t fall pregnant during your period.”
Not quite! While it’s less likely, it is still possible especially if you have a shorter cycle. S***m can live in your body for several days, so if you ovulate soon after your period ends, pregnancy can happen.
“Stress can stop you from conceiving.”
Stress alone won’t usually stop you getting pregnant, but high levels of ongoing stress can affect ovulation and hormones. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, know that support is available - your mental wellbeing matters.
“Certain positions increase your chances of falling pregnant.”
There’s no proven “best” position. What’s most important is timing — having s*x around your ovulation window gives you the best chance of conceiving. If you’re not sure when that is, we can help you figure it out.
Trying to conceive can bring up a lot of questions and that’s completely normal. We’re here to make things clearer, answer your questions and support you with care that’s grounded in science, expertise and kindness.
