Being unable to conceive is even more frustrating when friends and family start questioning the couple's impotence and lifestyle - as is often seen in close knit communities. While Indians are slowly opening up to the idea of adoption, a wide majority remain fixated on natural childbirth as the only entry into parenthood. But before pointing fingers at each other and before the floodgates of unsolicited advice open, every couple must gain awareness about conception and childbirth; especially when it comes to the myths that surround conception. You may have tried everything; your patience is running out but do not fall victim to these unscientific statements. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
