In Vitro Fertilization

Children conceived after in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection are more likely to have metabolic dysfunction during childhood than those conceived without assistive technology, according to study data.

In vitro fertilization clinics that reported more outcomes data than what is legally required have higher success rates, according to research presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Pregnancy rates for fresh embryo transfer during in vitro fertilization were similar to the freeze-all strategy, and time to pregnancy was significantly longer with the freeze-all approach, according to a study published in BMJ.

The cumulative live birth rate for women who returned to assisted reproductive technology to successfully conceive once again was between 50.5% and 88.1%, researchers reported in Human Reproduction.

Pregnant women who use in vitro fertilization to conceive are 53% more likely to develop gestational diabetes when compared with women who conceive naturally, according to study data presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes annual meeting.
