A study from the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam has said that chances of pregnancy after artificial insemination are boosted if women lie still afterwards. The study involved 390 couples undergoing intrauterine insemination in Holland.
The researchers found that 27% of women who lay still for at least 15 minutes after insemination got pregnant, while just 17% of women who moved around were able to conceive. A total of three cycles of treatment was given to women among whom half were asked to lie still for 15 minutes, while other were asked to move around.
