Support Groups Double Your Chance of Conceiving: Harvard Medical School

 There is power in numbers and the same can be said when it comes to infertility. A new study by Harvard University's medical school found that support groups can more than double the chances of conceiving for women.

"This information is incredibly encouraging in terms of the importance of emotional support," said Linda Applegarth of the Cohen-Perelman Center for Reproductive Medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell.

Applegarth told "Today" that the benefits of support groups are significant for those trying to conceive.

"Not only are you getting emotional support, you're also getting appropriate information about where to go to get good treatment," she said.
