Fresh versus frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer in high responders
Conclusion: Our study results suggest that fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfers have similar IVF results in patients with a high risk of OHSS. Calcium infusion is beneficial in preventing OHSS without altering pregnancy rates. Both IVF protocols with calcium infusion can safely be applied in high-responder patients without lowering success rates.
The use of assisted reproductive technology before male factor infertility evaluation
Conclusions: The prior use of ART is common among men presenting for an initial evaluation at a male infertility specialty clinic. Older female partner age was associated with use of reproductive technologies prior to evaluation, however, semen analysis parameters were not.
Conclusion: We propose that careful assessment of spermatozoal parameters is essential to achieve embryo development and a healthy live birth. However, the heterogeneity in test results and the different approaches of assessing a single sperm parameter highlight the need for more research and the development of standardized protocols to assess the role of sperm factors affecting embryo quality.
The significance of fertility: A landmark ruling on posthumous conception
The recently published case of Y v A Healthcare NHS Trust is a unique and important legal ruling on posthumous conception in the UK (see BioNews 959). The decision sends an important message that individual fertility and reproductive legacy – not just property – can warrant protection.
Freeze eggs before 35 for IVF success, says UK report
The age at which a woman freezes her eggs has a significant impact on IVF success when they are thawed, suggests a new report by the UK's fertility regulator. The report, by the HFEA (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority), looked at data from UK fertility clinics between 2010-2016. It concluded that women should freeze their eggs before the age of 35 for the chance of conception with IVF to be higher than the chance of natural conception
