Results of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles using eggs from older donors are as good as those using eggs from younger women, a new study finds.

The men and women in our armed forces go where our nation’s leaders direct them, serve in difficult and often dangerous conditions and do so with admirable dedication and professionalism. As a nation, we owe them our freedom. When they are wounded serving their country, we have an obligation to care for them and to strive to make them whole again.
Common Gene Variant May Raise Miscarriage Risk, Study Finds
Scientists report that a common gene variant may be linked to both early pregnancy loss and failed in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments.
The variant in a woman’s genome, which causes errors in the cell replication process, is strongly associated with risk of aneuploidy — an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell, the researchers said. But they did not prove that the variant causes pregnancy problems.
Father of In-vitro Fertilization Delivers Final Story of Medicine, Love
Always known for his prodigious work habits, Dr. Howard Jones Jr. is still producing two months after his death.His last book – “Howard & Georgeanna – Sixty Years of Marriage & Medicine” – has just been released on Amazon.com, the tale of the courtship and married years of Jones and his wife, Georgeanna Seegar Jones.Together, they formed an in vitro fertilization program at Eastern Virginia Medical School that led to the country’s first IVF baby.
Women Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization to Become Single Parents, Not Due to Fertility Issues
After four years of pondering becoming a single parent by using a sperm donor, Bennett found herself in the office of Dr. Anthony Imudia, an IVF specialist at USF who is based at Tampa General.
Why Fertility Treatment Deserves state Funding
Recently I attended a “summit meeting” in Washington to discuss means of improving access to fertility treatment globally for those who need it.Delegates had to apply to attend this conference and my raison d’etre was that I work in Ireland, one of only three countries in the EU where fertility treatments such as IUI or IVF are not funded by the State.
Frozen Embryos As Successful As Fresh Embryos In IVF
IVF cycles using embryos that have been frozen and thawed are just as successful as fresh embryos according to a new UNSW report.
Study Suggests Couples Need Better Antenatal Care Following Fertility Treatment
Couples who have successfully conceived following fertility treatment need additional antenatal care and support, new research has found. Two per cent of all births in the UK are a result of fertility treatments such as IVF. An increasing body of evidence suggests the needs of these parents are often not adequately addressed, leaving them feeling abandoned in some cases.
New Embryo Image Processing Technology Could Assist in IVF Implantation Success Rates
A collaboration between biologists and engineers at Monash University has led to the development of a new non-invasive image processing technique to visualise embryo formation. Researchers were able to see, for the first time, the movement of all of the cells in living mammalian embryos as they develop under the microscope. This breakthrough has important implications for IVF (in vitro fertilisation) treatments and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
Fertility Clinics Let You Select Your Baby’s Sex
Women who want to select their baby’s sex undergo the costly and cumbersome process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) to create embryos that are also genetically tested before being implanted. Although the testing, broadly referred to as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD, is often used to test for genetic diseases, it can also identify the sex of the embryos. The IVF/PGD process can cost as much as $15,000 to $20,000 a cycle and isn’t covered by many insurance plans.
