Geoffrey Sher, co-founder and Executive Medical Director of the Sher Institutes for Reproductive Medicine (SIRM), has written a fascinating blog, about a study published online in the journal Fertility and Sterility which claims that about 44% of 7, 000 Australian women aged 28-36 years who said they had experienced difficulty conceiving for at least a year, subsequently achieved a pregnancy without having to undergo any type of fertility treatment.

BABY CONCEIVED WITH SPERM FROM 1987
publication date: Feb 9, 2012
A baby girl was born after being conceived using sperm that has been kept frozen for 25 years - the longest that sperm has been kept frozen and then successfully used for IVF in the UK. Proud dad Richard Pott had his sperm frozen at the age of 21 after he developed testicular cancer, according to The Daily Telegraph. Two decades later Richard got to finally use his frozen 'rainy day' sperm to become father to daughter Vivienne in a double IVF first in Britain. Three embryos were created using the thawed sperm before being transferred into the womb of mother Rebecca, who herself suffers endometriosis. Despite the first transfer not being a success, the couple made a last ditch attempt by having two of the defrosted embryos implanted. Vivienne is the couple's second child, as they are also parents to Harry, 5, who was conceived after two rounds of IVF. |
