Myth #1 If I don't have implantation bleeding I can't ovulate and become pregnant.

NOT TRUE This is a phenomenon that doesn't occur to all women. In other words you don't need to experience implantation bleeding in order to become pregnant.

Myth #2 I can always predict ovulation through my cervix position.
