Err.. Breastfeeding is actually a form of natural birth control. A woman secretes oxytocin into her bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland when she's breastfeeding, for milk let down. Oxytocin contracts the uterus and also secretes prostaglandins that strengthen the contractions, making it impossible for anything to stay in the uterus..

Infact, oxytocin is sometimes used to induce labour (to aid contractions when it doesn't start early enough) during childbirth ... So its not a myth, its actually a fact, that breastfeeding is a form of birth control!

MYTH 11: WOMEN DETERMINES THE SEX OF THE CHILD

Reality:- women are not the ones that determine the sex of the child because they have xx chromosomes, they only transfer most of their genes and DNA to the child more than the man, that's why the child or the children resembles the mother genetically than the father. It's the man that determines the sex of the child because they have XY chromosomes, X = female while Y = male. So if a woman is giving birth to just girls, it's the man's fault not the woman.
helpforcouples:

Myth 1: GETTING PREGNANT IS EASY

Reality — Statistics tell us a different story. It’s now estimated that one in four couple in Nigeria will have fertility issues over their reproductive lifetime.

Myth 2: SPERM LIVE FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS

Reality — The lifespan of sperm varies from man to man, but in general sperm can survive in utero for about 48 hours. In some rare cases sperm can survive for up to 96 hours

Myth 3: YOU NEED TO ORGASM IN ORDER TO CONCEIVE

Reality — Orgasm is always a plus, and it does aid in contracting the uterus – which definitely helps sperm travel toward the fallopian tubes faster. But even if this doesn’t happen, your baby-making efforts won’t be for naught.

Myth 4: SWALLOWING SEMEN WILL MAKE YOU MORE FERTILE

Reality — Semen definitely has its wacky benefits, but making you more fertile
Isn’t one of them – at least, no studies have proven it so far.

Myth 5: BREASTFEEDING= BIRTH CONTROL

Reality — While it’s definitely true that breastfeeding can keep women period-free for longer and, therefore, less fertile, but not all women see this effect – so relying on breastfeeding as your sole form of birth control isn’t very reliable

Myth 6: LIFTING YOUR LEGS IN THE AIR FOR 20 MINUTES AFTER HAVING SEX WILL HELP YOU GET PREGNANT

Reality — There’s no scientific proof that this will increase your odds of conceiving. But some experts (and common sense) say that staying in bed for a little while after intercourse will help keep semen from leaking out of the vagina — and maybe, help ensure that every last sperm gets a fighting chance at the prize

Myth 7: DOING IT MISSIONARY STYLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO CONCEIVE

Reality– The truth is, the actual position you do it in doesn’t matter much — as long as there’s deep penetration going on and, of course, your man ejaculates, it’s all the same.

Myth 8: YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX EVERY DAY

Reality– This is boring actually. When you are trying to conceive, sex around 3 times a week would be good, to keep the sparks flying and not to miss the days when you are ovulating.

Myth 9: I’VE ALREADY HAD A BABY – I’LL DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE AGAIN

Reality– It may not be the case. Fertility issues can arise even after giving birth. Factors such as age, diet and drinking habits, lack of exercise and increased stress can lead to difficulties in getting pregnant

Myth 10: INFERTILITY IS A WOMAN’S PROBLEM

Reality– This couldn’t be further from the truth. A couple’s inability to conceive is as much a problem of the sperm
as it is for an egg.

we understand bro but this is not a conventional method of birth control..Do we because oxytocin prevents pregnancy and hence induce breastfeeding in a non - parturiting woman..surely no!
moreover,In my course of medical career as a student, I have seen two ladies in Obstetrics unit.
the first happened to be lactating and still pregnant with another baby..though the Senior Registral said it wasnt a very common case but it did happen..
the other one was pregnant and still menstruating..hormonal imbalance and hypothalamic-hypophyseal dysfunctions can elicit this conditions..
my point is there can still be iota of myth there! selah

no sir! normalcy in the medical field is a relative term..
her case may be essential and have an idiopathic cause of hormonal imbalance..
let's consider hyoertension for instance,a reading of 120/80 may be considered normal by the WHO where as in some localities 130/90 may still be considered normal..so normalcy is a varying term..
