the highest levels of stress biomarkers in their saliva have more problems
getting pregnant than other women. Courtney Denning-Johnson Lynch, director of

and colleagues extended their earlier study conducted in the UK that
demonstrated an association between high levels of stress and a reduced
probability of pregnancy.
The new study found that women with high levels of alpha-amylase
– a biological indicator of stress measured in saliva – are 29 per cent less
likely to get pregnant each month. They were also more than twice as likely to
meet the clinical definition of infertility (remaining not pregnant despite 12
months of regular unprotected intercourse), compared to women with low levels of
this protein enzyme. The study tracked 501 American women ages 18 to 40 years
