5-minute IVF
A new IVF technique that takes less than five minutes to do and at half the cost of conventional methods has demonstrated dramatically higher success rates.
Scientists said the treatment offered particular hope for older women and could be performed with none of the side-effects associated with standard fertility treatment.
The pioneers of the “mini-IVF” technique said the treatment was so quick and straightforward it could be carried out in a woman’s lunch hour.
Trials involving more than 500 patients achieved success rates one third better than those in Britain for women in their 30s and more than twice as high among those in their 40s.
The technique works by giving women far lower doses of the drugs used to stimulate the ovaries at the start of the IVF treatment.
Scientists said they found that giving low dosages of the standard medication over a longer period meant women avoided premature ovulation so produced eggs of higher quality.
