• Myth: Sitting in a hot tub probably won’t hinder fertility

Fact: If you heard that sitting in a hot tub won’tdamage men's sperm production, then you’re mistaken!

For maximum sperm production, testicles should be in an environment about 2 degrees cooler than their core body temperature. It is generally recommended to stay away from hot tubs or keeping laptops over their genitals to avoid unnecessary heat exposure. If you want to maximize your sperm production, avoid hot tubs.

Dealing with infertility is challenging and exhausting and brings with it a great number of anxiety-producing experiences.

• Myth: Caffeine doesn’t affect fertility

Fact: Lifestyle choices can play a major role in infertility. High levels of caffeine are associated with infertility.
