Dr. John Storment tackles so of the most common infertility myths!

1️⃣ "Stop being so stressed! If you just relax you will get pregnant." The truth is that while relaxing is good, stress does not cause infertility.

2️⃣ "You're so young, you won't have any problems at all." Women of any age can have problems conceiving. If you have been trying for over a year, it's time to seek some answers. If you are over 35, don't wait.

3️⃣ "It's definitely not my fault" (says the guy!) The reality is that male fertility issues are very common. Make sure your partner gets a semen analysis!

4️⃣ "You've already had a baby, you will definitely have no problems the second time around." Secondary infertility is a real issue and affects many couples. Things can change in your health or environment that may make having baby #2 a real struggle.

5️⃣ "If I go see a fertility doctor then IVF is my only option." You need to know that there are many treatments you can try, such as ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination, that can be successful in helping you conceive.

The holidays can be especially stressful for the infertile. Endless family and social events often bring uncomfortable questions about when you will start a family. Plus, the holidays and the celebrations that come along with it are sometimes centered around children: cookie decorating, visits with Santa, Christmas pageants.

Use our list to help you keep it together so that you focus on what’s good for you this holiday. And just know that it is perfectly okay if the end of the holidays is the only thing you feel like celebrating this season.

"When are you going to have kids?"

If you haven't been asked yet, consider yourself lucky. Unfortunately, just about every couple going through infertility has to deal with this insensitive question at some point. But during the holidays, when you are around so many family and friends, you tend to get it a lot more often.

Most people don't mean to be insensitive with this question—they're often just trying to make conversation. And most of the time, they don't realize how personal and painful the question can be. But when you're coping with infertility, being asked a question like this reminds you of your pain and loss.

So how do you answer, or do you even have to answer? We've given you some options.

However you choose to handle this nosy question, the bottom line is that you don't owe anyone any explanations. Set boundaries that work for you realize that ultimately it is you who controls the conversation around an often private matter.
