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.

NEW 10 PER CENT TARGET FOR MULTIPLE BIRTHS
publication date: Feb 9, 2012
Only one in ten IVF pregnancies should result in twins or triplets, according to new guidance from the British regulator the HFEA. The previous target 15 per cent multiple births for each clinic. From October, 2012, fertility clinics will have to decide which couples should be advised to have only one embryo transferred at a time, to minimise the chances of a multiple pregnancy. According to figures, the current rate for multiple births following fertility treatment, is is around 20 per cent Rachel Cutting, Chairman of Association of Clinical Embryologists said: “We are very pleased that the HFEA has lowered its multiple birth target to 10 per cent. "Just three years ago, there was a one in four chance of having twins following IVF, but we have reduced this figure by developing improved ways to select the best quality embryo a patient has. "This in turn allows us to replace just one embryo per IVF cycle without affecting a woman’s chance of falling pregnant. By continuing to understand more about embryo development and using new technologies we can maintain these excellent success rates. “Ultimately, ensuring the health of both the mother and her baby is our top priority. And as multiple births pose greater health risks, we believe it is essential that we continue to find ways to reduce the chances of having twins, which is why we are so committed to the use of single embryo transfer.” |
