Urban Legends

Aspirin and Getting Pregnant star
Some believe that taking aspirin before or after sex will help hinder pregnancy. This is completely untrue. Aspirin might help with heart disease, but it has no effect on pregnancy.

Breastfeeding and Pregnancy star
It might seem like an old wivesī tale, but breastfeeding really does lower your chances of pregnancy. It does not PREVENT pregnancy though, so take precautiouns unless you wish to be pregnant again.

Can Women Feel Conception? star
Is it possible to know the moment you get pregnant?

Douching with Sprite can Prevent Pregnancy star
This urban legend claims if the girl douches with Sprite, 7-Up, Coca-cola or another carbonated drink that she can wash sperm out of her. This simply isnīt true.

Getting Pregnant During your Period star
Thereīs an urban legend that you canīt get pregnant during your period. Because a womanīs cycle is not 100% predictable, there is never a perfectly safe period as far as pregnancy goes.

Girl On Top Prevents Pregnancy star
Some believe that having the girl on top - or having sex standing up - will prevent pregnancy. Unfortunately for them, sperm donīt care about gravity. They have their own means of locomotion.

Jumping Up and Down to Prevent Pregnancy star
Thereīs an urban legend that a girl can jump up and down after sex to prevent pregnancy. That old wives tale is centuries old and is completely untrue.

Losing Virginity and Pregnancy star
Many virgins believe they canīt get pregnant the first time they have sex. They are quite mistaken. All a pregnancy takes is a sperm getting inside the vagina - something that *definitely* happens during all sex.

Pregnancy, Rabbits, and The Rabbit Died phrase star
Why do they say īThe Rabbit Diedī when they find out someone is pregnant? What does a rabbit have to do with determining if a woman is pregnant or not?

Pulling Out and Preventing Pregnancy star
Sometimes guys offer to "pull out" to prevent pregnancy. Studies show that of 100 women that try this method, 19 will get pregnant within the year.

Sneezing star
Some feel that a girl can sneeze all of the sperm out of her. This is far from the truth - acts like sneezing do little to deter a sperm from its search for an egg.

Woman Sues after Eating Contraceptive Jelly star
Ever hear of the headline - Woman Sues after Eating Contraceptive Jelly? Well despite being reported by Ann Landers, Jay Leno and many more, itīs simply not true.
