MYTH #3: Getting pregnant will happen right away once you stop taking the pill.
FACT: Your body needs time to adjust to new hormone levels and return to your natural cycle. Dr. Minkin informs that you can get pregnant quickly; however your body will most likely need a period of readjustment.
MYTH #4: Worrying decreases changes of conception.
FACT: There’s no research of clinical evidence to support that “worrying” hinders conception. Extreme stress can affect your ability to ovulate in very rare cases. “Worrying about it,” on the other hand can be useful if it moves you to action in the form of determining your ovulation and then timing intercourse to coincide with your most fertile time.
If you are thinking about starting a family, try an at-home test like the FIRST RESPONSETM Fertility Test For Women , which gauges a women’s ability to get pregnant by assessing her ovarian reserve. It is a great first step for any women to take before trying to conceive, and can be done in the privacy of her own home – no medical appointment required.
