Sunlight Exposure May Increase IVF Success.

reports that a study presented at the annual meeting of the European Society for Reproductive Health found that weather conditions may affect live birth rates per cycle of IVF. According to the Telegraph, “in the least sunny periods, live birth rates per cycle were 14 per cent,” while they were up to “19 per cent when the weather improved.” The researchers suggest that the side effects may be attributed to the hormone melatonin, which is stimulated by sunlight, and known to play a role in the reproductive cycle. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11683901/Dose-of-sunshine-can-boost-womens-chances-of-conceiving-a-baby-by-third.html
