MYNIPPON

Probably because you are just too stressed about pregnancy or something else.  For women over 40 getting pregnant is not easy.  Obviously, infertility can strike women of any age, but despite availability of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) it does not mean that every woman will be able to give live birth to a healthy baby.  Actually, most women struggle to get pregnant in the first place, others miscarry, and the ones who do often give birth to children with birth defects and/or genetic diseases.

So for those women who have difficulty even getting pregnant with IUI or IVF, scientists in Israel have some good news: relax.  Going through assisted reproductive therapy is so stressful (lots of money, horrible hormonal injections, multiple tests, waiting, planning, etc.) that the bodies of many women are simply not ready to receive a fertilize egg.  These scientists have found that once the embryos are implanted they have a session with a medical clown.

Currently in most fertility clinics, after the procedure is over, a woman may simply be asked to remain lying for 15-30 minutes with her legs up in a sterile chamber either alone or with a companion.  Researchers have found that as women relax with the help of a medical clown, they are more likely to get pregnant.
