Making the "mommy" dream possible?

from Lifescript:

New Hope in Quest for Fertility
Studies show that fertility problems can plague as many as one in six couples worldwide. It's no surprise, then, that medical science has taken a keen interest in addressing the infertility issue. That interest produced some promising results recently, when a joint U.S.-Japanese study announced the discovery of a molecule that may improve the success rate of existing fertility treatments. According to the study, published in the journal nature, the molecule LPA was shown in animal studies to improve the ability of fertilized embryos to implant and grow in the womb. A lack of LPA was linked to difficulty conceiving. The team behind the study plans further research to identify how LPA can best be incorporated into current fertility treatments.
