Jan. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- A website aimed at helping women identify the best time to conceive or avoid pregnancy naturally, has conducted research into what the most common health fears amongst men and women aged between 18 – 35 are in the UK.
The poll, by http://www.FertilityFlower.com, asked 1,209 British 18 – 35 year olds, each without children, if they had health fears and concerns and the majority, 86%, answered yes. Respondents to the poll were then asked the multi-answer question ‘what are your health fears and concerns for the future?’ and asked to select from a list of possible answers.
The results by http://www.FertilityFlower.com,  revealed that, of those who do have health fears, 42% are fearful of ‘getting diabetes’ and 23% worry that they could be ‘anaemic,’ an illness that is caused by the body lacking enough healthy red blood cells, causing symptoms such as tiredness, chest pains and headaches. The biggest health concern for respondents was ‘getting cancer’, with 96% of those with health fears claiming it was a worry of theirs. Infertility was the second biggest health concern of the respondents polled, after cancer.
Furthermore, half of those who admitted to having concerns about their health, 54%, said they were worried about being ‘infertile.’ When asked to elaborate on this, 8% said they had genuine reason to believe they may not be able to have a child, such as trying and failing to conceive in the past.
According to the results by http://www.FertilityFlower.com, of those who claimed to be fearful of infertility, more than two thirds, 68%, were women and 41% were aged between 25 and 30. Only 6% of those who cited that they have infertility worries were aged under 21.
However in contrast, the majority of the men who admitted to being concerned that they may be infertile were over 30 years old.
Kimberly Ann Racic, founder of http://www.FertilityFlower.com, commented on the research:
“Many couples, particularly the women, have infertility fears. It seems to be a deeply held element within our psyche. However, we need to step back and consider that it takes the average couple 6 months to a year of active trying to achieve a pregnancy. We have the idea that pregnancy should occur as soon as we decide to grow our families and if it doesn’t happen, the cause is infertility. With the majority of couples, that is not the case at all.”
She continued,
“It all starts with knowing your body, and then working with Mother Nature to increase your chances. When couples are aware of when the woman is ovulating, the time required to conceive can be greatly reduced. That’s why websites such as Fertility Flower are valuable. Our core purpose is to pinpoint ovulation to maximize your chances of conception.”
