✓ Reality

• At-home fertility tests cannot reliably predict your ability to become pregnant and most only measure specific hormones at a single point in time.
• Fertility depends on many factors, including age, ovulation, sperm health, fallopian tube function, and overall health, none of which can be assessed by a home test alone.

X False claim

Home or “natural” remedies can safely end a pregnancy.

✓ Reality

• There is no scientific evidence that home remedies are safe or effective for ending a pregnancy.
• Attempting to induce an abortion using herbs, supplements, medications not prescribed for this purpose, or other home methods can be dangerous and may lead to serious complications, including heavy bleeding, infection, poisoning, or an incomplete abortion requiring emergency medical care.
