Biomechanics and IVF success

According to new research, the physical positioning of a woman and the size and shape of her womb make all the difference to IVF outcomes, along with gravity and the mechanics of the womb.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University are studying how embryos implant into the wall of the womb, and say that the mechanics of what happens during this process can play a vital role in whether it is successful. This is a key factor in IVF, as we still don't know quite why some embryos implant and others don't.
