IVF success could be improved by new technology to select the healthiest embryos
We may only be 5 years away from dramatically increasing the success rate of IVF treatment – although at the moment only mice are benefiting!
A team of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a microfluidic chip that can measure the health of an embryo by determining the nutrients that they take in.
The process is still in the early stages, and there is still some controversy as to whether it can be effective in increasing the IVF success rate. If it is it may be too late for me, but it will be a great move for the younger women – anything that can reduce the number of IVF cycles, and hence the stress and cost, will be loved by us all!

Hi Alfonzo,
To translate any page on the blog into any of 52 different languages put the page URL into Google Translate (http://translate.google.com) and state which language you would like it translated to.
I realise it does not always do a fantastic job but it will give you a better idea of what the postings are saying.
All the best,
Sue
