It is reported that the Australian Researchers have developed new techniques which could double the pregnancy rates. But this would be applicable to only certain special types of treatment. The details of what constitutes these special type of treatments have not yet been provided.
The researchers from the University of Adelaid claim that the new formula would considerably improve embryo implantation rates and reduce pregnancy complications in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). The new technique according to them is an improvement over the existing ART Procedures which has life threatening risks by resulting in complications such as miscarriage, intra-uterine growth restrictions and pre-term births. The new procedure may help in reducing these risks significantly.
Still lot need to be done in this area as the success rates in ART is poor and hovers around 15 to 40%. Fertility in women is strictly related with age and as age advances the rate of fertility declines. Existing ART do not help in certain types of infertility and the new ART would address this concern.
