Have you ever wondered how much of the conventional wisdom about fertility and pregnancy is actually backed by science, and what myths might be holding you back from making your best decisions on your journey? In this episode, I'm busting fertility myths with Emily Oster, an economist, bestselling author, and professor at Brown University, known for bringing data-driven insights to pregnancy, parenting, and fertility. Emily is the author of Expecting Better, Crib Sheet, The Family Firm, and The Unexpected, and the creator of ParentData.org, a trusted platform that helps readers make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
In this episode, we cover:
Whether you really need to give up alcohol completely while trying to conceive
What the research actually says about caffeine and fertility
How much room for error there is when it comes to timing sex for conception
The truth about stress and its impact on fertility outcomes
Data-backed guidance on when to see a fertility specialist
Why the "28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14" is a myth and what normal cycle variability looks like
What the data really says about age-related fertility decline and why you're not falling off a cliff at 30 or 35
