The study examined 207 women in the months before they become pregnant. The experts found that women who experience short-term stress and fatigue will take longer to become pregnant.

Dr. Cecilia Pyper of the Department of Public Health at the University Ofxord said, "This research aimed at healthy women in Britain who were trying to have a baby. This research is important because we need to identify ways for pregnancy and babies who are born as healthy as possible. "
