Continuing with my personal infertility myths experience:

#6 Your Fertility Problems Are All In Your Head.
This myth felt true, each time I went in to the doctor and didn't receive any other explanation for our difficulties other than, "It hasn't been that long." or "Don't worry, you're young." Although we never received a medical diagnosis, I have my own theories about our problems conceiving and carrying our kids.

#7 If You Wait Long Enough, You'll Get Pregnant.
Another myth that I'd never heard of.

#8 Infertility Will Break Up Your Marriage.
Infertility issues are stressful on every one involved. This of course, leads to stress within the relationship. Yes, some marriages will break up, but some won't.

#9 If You've Previously Had A Baby, Then You're Not Infertile.
When my health care providers had asked me if I had ever gotten pregnant before, while we were doing our pre-pregnancy check up, she came across like this was a great sign if I had been pregnant before. This myth reminded me of that conversation. I had thought that it was true at the time. Only later on, and knowing a woman with tertiary infertility, did I realize that this reasoning wasn't all the way truthful.

#10 You Can Self Medicate To Get Pregnant.
I had heard of using over the counter baby aspirin. The article mentions using cough syrup, but I'd never heard of that. Along with myths, there are old wives tales and also straight harmful information. The desperation of trying to get pregnant and stay pregnant can drive a woman to trying almost anything, regardless of how odd it sounds or how harmful it could ultimately be. I thought about using the baby aspirin. I never used it, but I was close.

In closing, I look back and realize that people usually come to these myths and repeat them thinking that they are being helpful and supportive. A lot of times the women that told me these things had never experienced infertility and I think that they were at a loss for what to say. I know that when I repeated Myth #3 about adoption, I was just ignorant, not bad intentioned.
