And furthermore
Thinking more about the article regarding clowning, mentioned in this post and also in this article, the frustrating thing is they list the age range of patients from 25 to 40, but they don't specify the ages of the women who became pregnant. Not to mention that a study of 186 women is not a legitimate study. And the specifics: what are the circumstances of these women? What percentage have PCOS? What percentage are age-related infertility? What percentage are unknown causes? What percentage are male-factor? Was the control group identical to the clown group? Three women are 27 with PCOS, four women are 30 with male factor, etc., etc.?This article is useless. The study is probably useless, too, seeing as it was only 186 women.
Tell me you're going to come in and pay for my whole treatment if you want to reduce my stress. Leave out the clowns.

Have you considered a career in research?
Yeah, fully. Very bizarre. And then you read things saying that stress makes no difference. You're right, we can't ever really know the research methods.
