Plans to restrict IVF treatment - Sunday Telegraph
Extract:
"Women having IVF treatment may be restricted to having only one embryo implanted at a time to avoid the dangers of multiple births.
In a public consultation paper launched on Wednesday, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority will raise the issue of “single embryo transfer” amid fears that multiple births are putting the lives of mothers and babies at risk.
Strict rules governing IVF treatment currently mean that women under 40 in Britain can have two embryos implanted while those over 40 are allowed three.
The more embryos that are transferred, the greater the chance of twins or triplets, increasing the risk of premature births, cerebral palsy, low birth weight and other complications. "
Most women can improve their fertility by reducing their salt intake. - This is because reducing salt intake reduces any fluid retention, which is the cause of obesity, and there is a positive correlation between obesity and infertility.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
