As time goes on more and more research is being done to help understand and improve the methods of fertilization of a woman’s eggs in the womb. in the UK a new research project has just begun to pioneer some new ground in the treatment of infertility.
From the Guardian.
Ian Sample, science correspondent The Guardian Wednesday February 27 2008The world’s first trial of a fertility treatment designed to be more natural than IVF is to be launched in Britain today.
The treatment, called in vivo development, or IVD, aims to take the test tube out of the test tube baby process by allowing fertilised eggs to develop in the mother’s womb rather than a dish in the lab.
The year-long trial, involving fertility clinics in Nottingham and elsewhere in Europe, follows a successful small-scale pilot study in Belgium, which suggested the new technique led to better quality embryos with fewer abnormalities.
