IVF raises hopes of having a baby even at 40

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 23 Oktober 2012 | 22.10

LONDON: Scientists have developed an IVF process which they claim could give a woman in her early forties the same chance of becoming pregnant as a 32-year-old. Researchers from Colorado claim the screening treatment could boost a 42-year-old's odds of having a baby from 13% to 60%.

It works by picking only the embryos most likely to create a healthy foetus, slashing the odds of miscarriage, the Daily Mail reported.

The treatment also involves the embryos being frozen for at least a month after the In vitro fertilization (IVF) to allow the woman's reproductive organs to return to normal. Scientists believe that the powerful fertility-boosting drugs given during IVF can harm the embryo if it is put into the womb too soon.

A woman aged 40 to 42 typically has a low chance of becoming pregnant with IVF and is unlikely to conceive naturally. Patients will have to pay 2,000 for the test, on top of a cycle of IVF costing 3,000 to 4,000 a course. The process has already been used on 1,200 women in the US. The US scientists claim their procedure is the most advanced of several being developed to boost pregnancy odds.
