Become pregnant while laughing?

Interesting story that:

In a study of 219 women undergoing IVF published in Fertility and Sterility, an Israeli team led by Shevach Friedler found that the odds of success were greater among women who were entertained by a professional "medical clown" just after the embryos were transferred to their wombs.


Overall, 36 percent became pregnant, as compared to 20 percent of women who'd had a comedy-free recovery after the transfer procedure.
All's well that ends well. Only... I hope that this clown wasn't our ex-president in disguise in a new job...
