The ability to laugh is one of our most profound self-healing skills. Little kids laugh simply because it feels good and it makes them happy. As adults we lose this spontaneity and the connection to the well-spring of physical, emotional and even spiritual benefits of laughter. ”Mirthful laughter” has been shown to help reduce chronic pain, improve immune response, alleviate depression and improve cardio-vascular health . It seems that laughter may improve IVF outcomes. Researchers in Israel followed 229 women and found that a 15 minute visit from a trained “medical clown” immediately after embryo transfer increased the pregnancy rate to 36%, compared with 20% for women whose embryo transfer was comedy free.

So how might laughter help fertility? Perhaps by stimulating the relaxation response. When people are stressed they tend to take shallow breaths. Extending the exhale which is exactly what laughter is; has a profound effect on blood chemistry, laughter stimulates beta-endoprhins, our feel-good chemicals. Interestingly, these are similar benefits to those believed to result from acupuncture treatment that is also associated with improved success of IVF cycles.
