Hi,

Not sure if anyone would be interested in this but i found this in todays Sun paper.............

WOMEN desperate for a baby have been given new hope with an IVF technique that DOUBLES their chances.

British docs are to test the revolutionary method in a secret trial.

Sixty per cent of women in a US study got pregnant with the technique — twice the rate of normal IVF.

It could eradicate the need for repeat cycles of emotionally-draining fertility treatment.

Instead of only screening an embryo for genetic defects, the method checks eggs BEFORE they are fertilised.

Any genetic problems can stop implantation or cause miscarriage.

The test-tube technique will be tested on 50 women under 39 at the private CARE Fertility Centre in Nottingham.

Each will be given free IVF.Baby expert Dr Simon Fishel and his team will remove eggs from the women, then extract a tiny portion from each one.

This section will be taken to the laboratory to be analysed for defects.

Meanwhile, the eggs will be injected with a single sperm to fertilise them.

They will be left to develop for five days, then frozen and stored. Those free from defects can then be implanted into the women.

At present, wannabe mums may have to endure many cycles of IVF.

The exact science of the testing technique is being kept under wraps.

But Dr Fishel said that he was working closely with the doctors who had worked on the successful US trial, which was also secret.

Dr Fishel told The Sun last night: “I can’t disclose details, but I can say that I am very, very excited about it.

“It is a potential sea change in IVF. It seems to have a very high success rate, well over 60 per cent which is double of what we hope for with conventional IVF.”

Its not something i can consider at the moment as just had ovarian drilling so need to give that a chance, but i thought for those of you who are running out of options you might want to see this.

Be careful though and take care.
