Fertility Myths That Need to Log Off

In this episode, Laura and Brandis bust some of the most common—and frustrating—fertility myths and misconceptions floating around the internet, doctor’s offices, and even dinner tables. From birth control blame to pineapple-core pressure, they dive into where these beliefs come from, what the science actually says, and how misinformation can impact real people on fertility journeys.

💬 In this episode we cover:

  • The myth that IVF always works (spoiler: it doesn't)

  • Why birth control didn’t make you infertile

    "Just relax and it'll happen" — why that advice needs to stop

  • Misconceptions about ovulation, cycle timing, and intercourse frequency

  • What Hollywood and social media get so wrong (looking at you, Kardashians)

  • The truth about pineapple cores, pomegranate juice, fuzzy socks, and McDonald's fries

  • Why secondary infertility is real—and valid

  • The importance of including male partners in testing and treatment

    Emotional burnout, intimacy stress, and why it's okay to take a break

    • 🔗 Listener Q: Got a myth you’ve heard or want us to fact-check? Send it to us at cnyfertility.com/fertileish — we might feature it in a future episode!

    🧠 Reminder: Everyone’s fertility journey is different. You’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
