The impact of legally restricted embryo transfer and reimbursement policy on cumulative delivery rate after treatment with assisted reproduction techn
The CDR within six cycles was 60 and 65.3% for study group and control group, respectively, for all ages, and 65.8 and 70.4%, respectively, in the subgroup younger than 36 years. In women ≥::36 years, CDR within six cycles was comparable in both groups (36–39 years, 43% in study versus 44.4% in control group, P = 0.730: 40–42 years, 21% in study versus 23% in control group, P = 0.786).
Diagnosis and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
We suggest using the Rotterdam criteria for diagnosing PCOS (presence of two of the following criteria: androgen excess, ovulatory dysfunction, or polycystic ovaries). Establishing a diagnosis of PCOS is problematic in adolescents and menopausal women. Hyperandrogenism is central to the presentation in adolescents, whereas there is no consistent phenotype in postmenopausal women. Evaluation of women with PCOS should exclude alternate androgen-exc
Uterine Fibroids Have Significant Impact On Quality of Life, Workplace Performance
Uterine fibroids cause significant fear and morbidity and can compromise workplace performance, according to a recently published survey of nearly 1,000 women in the U.S. The results were published this month in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Journal of Women’s Health. The findings shed new light on the impact, prevalence and treatment concerns related to uterine leiomyomas (fibroids), which affect up to 80 percent of w
Vietnamese mother delivers IVF twins thanks to late husband’s sperm
In what doctors called a rare story of love and science, a woman in Hanoi has given birth to twin boys with sperm from her husband who died four years ago. Le Vuong Van Ve, director of the Hanoi Adrology and Infertility Hospital, said Saturday that the babies of 2.4 and 2.9 kilograms born three weeks earlier were the first such case in Vietnam, an `extremely rare` success of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

First Child Born Following Embryo Screening With New Genome Analysis Technique
The first birth has been achieved following the analysis of embryos using a new genome sequencing technique which promises to revolutionise embryo selection for IVF. The technique, which has never before been applied in the screening of embryos, is reported today at the annual meeting of ESHRE by Dr Dagan Wells of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at the University of Oxford, UK.
Conflicting Criteria for Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Clarified
The Endocrine Society today issued a Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for the diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, the most common hormone disorder in women of reproductive age and a leading cause of infertility.
Saving Fertility Not Priority at Most Cancer Centers, Study Shows
Infertility is consistently listed as one of the most distressing long-term side effects of cancer treatment for adolescents and young adults. Yet the leading National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers - which should be leaders in fertility preservation - aren't doing an adequate job of helping patients protect their fertility, reports a new Northwestern Medicine® study.
At his Stanford University commencement speech, Steve Jobs, CEO and co-founder of Apple and Pixar, urges us to pursue our dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks - including death itself.
Delivery Rates Unaffected by Transferring Fewer Embryos, Reimbursing Six Cycles of Fertility Treatment
Research from Belgium has shown that if governments legislate to restrict the numbers of embryos transferred during fertility treatment, but combine it with a policy of reimbursing six cycles of assisted reproduction technology (ART), there is no detrimental impact on pregnancy and delivery rates. However, there is a greatly reduced risk of multiple births, which have associated health risks for mother and babies and are an increased cost to the
Free NHS IVF treatment to be offered to gay couples in North Staffordshire
GAY couples in North Staffordshire are to be given free fertility treatment on the NHS for the first time. The new policy replaces previous rules which had denied the procedures to all people living in some parts of the region.
Health leaders are unable to estimate how many will come forward but forecast the demand for IVF and other procedures from both gay and straight couples will run into hundreds a year.
Is Childbirth Over 60 OK? Oldest Woman from Spain Gave Birth to Twins at Age 66, Now a Chinese Woman at 60.
Women try to do it all - juggle work, motherhood, all while trying to be of sound mind and body throughout the beautifully rewarding - yet sometimes taxing process. While women have proved that this monumental feat is indeed possible, when it comes to trying again later in life, when is a woman too old to bear children? And what should the cutoff age be when receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
