Possible new fertility treatment

Scientists say they may have discovered a new fertility treatment. It is believed that a hormone called KISSPEPTIN could help women who are experiencing hormonal fertility problems. Kisspeptin can stimulate the hormones which control a woman's menstrual cycle, and may be able to restore her fertility.

A small trial group of women who had stopped ovulating were given the drug, and their hormone levels improved considerably. Rather than stimulating the ovaries, this treatment would help by re-booting a woman's own reproductive system. You can read more about the research here .
