We’ve been reading some interesing studies lately regaring mobile cellphones and their affect on fertility. For a number of years now there has been a great deal of concern regarding the levels of radiation emitted by mobile phones, especially when a call is taking place.

With the advent of newer types of mobile phones (smartphones) which can connect to the internet using WIFI and 3G, phones are becoming increasingly more powerful and emitting more radiation than ever before.

While the results of many recent studies are inconclusive, most of them recommend that you keep your mobile phone as far away from your body as possible, even when not even in use. For example, it is better to carry a mobile in a bag than in a pocket for example, where it would be closer to your body. Of great concern is the effect of mobile phones on fertility. Men in particular tend to carry their mobile phone in the front pocket of their trousers – you can only imagine the havoc the radiation is playing with fertility if the phone is carried in this way.

Therefore, How to Conceive a Boy, in line with these recommendations, recommends that you carry your mobile phone as far away from your body (especially the testicles for males) as possible.
