In case you are one of the 7 million women in America, who are facing tough time gaining or maintaining pregnancy, then you would have probably got tons of advice.

Though a handful of recommendations, like age, smoking and obesity have no role to play in fertility, are fairly true, other are not really up to the mark. When gauged by latest advancements in science and technology, many of these recommendations are not digested by leading doctors and gynecologists.

Here's a fleeting look at a couple of new aspects discovered in the field of fertility in women:

The new thinking: stress does not reduce fertility:

“Relax and you'll get pregnant”, well that’s what old-established wisdom says. But, a latest study, which was carried out by researchers from the UK, reviewed data collected for in excess of 3,500 women who went through a cycle of fertility therapies. The study found no variation in the success rate of pregnancy in case of women who were under deep stress and those who were fairly relaxed. Anxiousness is somewhat common and normal thing; especially during the waiting times of treatments for fertility. But, researchers are hopeful that the findings will certainly reassure women that such kind of feelings, including stress and nervousness, are not likely to prevent the treatment from playing its part.

The new thinking: one at a time is better for IVF:

As per a latest research, which has been made available in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), during in-vitro fertilization, transferring just one embryo can increase your chances of having a healthy baby up to five times in comparison to those who get two implanted simultaneously.
