A British woman has become a mother after more than a dozen failed IVF attempts.
Baby Oliver was born thanks to a new pioneering test which identifies the eggs that have the best chance of being successfully implanted in the womb – a major factor in determining the success of IVF treatment.
'Chromosomal abnormality plays a major part in the failure to establish a pregnancy,' said Prof Simon Fishel of Care Fertility Group, which trialled the treatment in 2006.
'Full chromosome analysis may double the chance of success in couples who have a poor chance of conceiving or a history of failed treatments and miscarriage and maximise the chance of pregnancy in all couples.'
'All too often we see ground breaking news about techniques that seem to offer great hope but fail to live up to expectations when applied in widespread clinical practice,' said the British Fertility Society.
Array CGH , which costs £4,550 including £1,950 for the egg screening, differs from conventional CGH in that the eggs do not have to be frozen first, which means results can be obtained quickly."
