The worldโs first birth using a special type of in vitro maturation, involving the use of ovarian support cells, has been reported. Although data is limited, this method might one day revolutionize the way IVF cycles are performed. Link in comments. #ivf #infertility

A new study compared cumulative live birth rates for patients based on their age, the number of eggs retrieved and diagnosis. They found that age had the strongest impact on live birth rates. Link is in the comments. #ivf #infertility

A new meta-analysis evaluated the use of artificial oocyte activation (AOA) on IVF outcomes, finding improvements in fertilization and live birth rates, but only in patients with a history of fertilization problems. Link in the comments. #ivf #infertility #fertilization

A new meta-analysis combined the results of 12 studies comparing different IVF trigger shots, including hCG, GnRH agonist, and dual/double triggers. Triggers showed variable outcomes, highlighting the need for a personalized medicine approach. Link in comments #ivf #ovarianstimulation #infertility

(4) The Cardinales sued the clinic for medical malpractice and settled out of court to avoid a long legal fight and to keep their daughter out of the proceedings.
Check out all the details on The New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/m...
(3) After much discussion, the families agreed to switch the babies to be raised by their biological parents.
Both families maintained a close relationship, eventually performing a family joining ceremony to symbolically unite both families.
(2) Despite their fear of losing May, the couple informed the clinic about the situation and identified Mayโs biological parents, who only lived 10 minutes from the Cardinales.
The couple had another baby of their own, Zoรซ, who was the same age as May and was the Cardinale's genetic child.
(1) After Daphna Cardinale gave birth following IVF, her husband noticed that their baby, May, didn't resemble either of them and they joked about there being a mix-up at the IVF clinic.
After taking a DNA test, they found that neither parent was genetically related to May, who was 2 months old.
An IVF mix-up resulted in two couples raising each other's child, the New York Times reports. More info and the link in the comments. #ivf #infertility #embryo

Researchers have discovered that mutations in genes that code for specialized proteins called kinesins could lead to increased risk of aneuploidy in eggs and accelerate the aging process. Check the full story on Remembryo, link in the comments. #ivf #embryo #pgta #oocyte #infertility

A recent study identified the risk factors for IVF lab errors, finding that working past 4 pm, specific procedures, and variability among embryologists all contribute to mismatches.
