Could what you’re using in terms of household products affect your fertility? Recently studies suggest that might be the case, especially when it comes to BPA.
BPAstands for “bisphenol-A” and is commonly found in plastic items as well as in the lining of soda cans.
Though research on the potential BPA-fertility conneciton isn’t conclusive, some scientists have cautioned against women having too much contact with the chemical compound. Because BPA has properties that mimic the body’s natural hormones, it’s suggested in some medical circles that fertility can be compromised from too much BPA contact.
If nothing else, it’s something to consider if you’re having trouble conceiving or are undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF.
