Study Review: Low-dose Aspirin still not proven to be beneficial when given routinely to patients undergoing IVF- ICSI.
There are numerous pharmacologic means tried to improve pregnancy rates in IVF-ICSI patients. Low dose aspirin is one of them.A meta-analysis of the various studies in which aspirin has been used in such patients is discussed.

News: Preimplantation genetic screening reduces both ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates in women over 35
Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), often considered to hold out the best chance for older women undergoing IVF to have a pregnancy and birth, does not increase on-going pregnancy or live birth rates, an embryologist told the 23rd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday 4 July).

News: Germany’s embryo protection law is “killing embryos rather than protecting them”
Instead of preserving life, Germany’s embryo protection law has had the unintended consequence of increasing the number of foetuses killed after fertility treatment according to new figures presented at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday). A representative of the German IVF registry has called for the law to be changed urgently to ensure that this situation does not continue.

News: Time-lapse recordings reveal why IVF embryos are more likely to develop into twins. Researchers believe the laboratory culture could be the cause.
Evidence gathered from time-lapse recordings of the formation of early embryos (blastocysts) in the laboratory has revealed why embryos created via IVF and undergoing extended culture are more likely to develop into twins than those created via natural conception. Furthermore, the research has shown that the culture in which the IVF embryos are formed is possibly responsible for the embryos dividing into twins.

News: High pregnancy rates achieved in ART through a personalised approach to ovarian stimulation treatment
An international group of fertility specialists has developed an easy-to use mathematical formula that allows a personalised approach to ovarian stimulation therapy for women seeking fertility treatment. Clinical tests demonstrated that when clinicians used the formula (or algorithm) to calculate the best starting dose for each patient, both the number of oocytes retrieved and pregnancy rates rose.
