A recent study by Professor Eliahu Levitas on 185 women showed hypnosis DOUBLED the rate of IVF success from 14% to 28%.

A 1992 study found that women who participated in mind/body therapy experienced a 34% conception rate as compared to 20% with InVitro Fertilisation alone. Decreased levels of depression, anxiety and anger were also noted.

Studies show that "infertile" women using mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate compared to 20% for those not following the protocol.

Gravitz (1995) found a 100% success rate in a limited study using hypnosis on 'functional' infertility

A study by Poehl et al showed 56.4% of women who received psychological therapies (hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and relaxation)  conceived. The study concluded that psychological therapy should be "an essential aspect of IVF"

According to a leading Fertility Journal, women who undergo hypnosis during IVF have an increased likelihood of conception. The research shows "rates of clinical pregnancy and implantation were both significantly higher in the women who underwent hypnosis...than in those who had regular IVF-ET cycles". According to researchers "hypnosis relieves stress, and thereby reduces uterine activity and improves the interaction of the embryo with the uterus, while increasing the chances of implantation."
