The BBC article shared the following ;

‘My nerves are shattered,” says Noura, a 26-year-old Palestinian woman, explaining that she has been “left with nothing”.
After years of IVF treatment, she became pregnant in July 2023. “I was overjoyed,” she remembers, describing the moment she saw the positive pregnancy test.
She and her husband Mohamed decided to store two more embryos at Al-Basma Fertility Centre in Gaza City, which had helped them conceive, in the hope of having more children in the future.

Like thousands of Gazans, Noura and Mohamed had to repeatedly flee, and were unable to get the food, vitamins and medication she needed for a healthy pregnancy.

“We used to walk for long hours and move constantly from one place to another, amid terrifying random bombings,” says Mohamed.
Seven months into her pregnancy, Noura suffered a severe haemorrhage.

“She was bleeding heavily, and we couldn’t even find a vehicle to take her to the hospital. We finally managed to transport her in a garbage truck,” Mohamed explains.
“When we arrived, the miscarriage had already started.”
One of their twins was stillborn and the other died a few hours after birth. Mohamed says there were no incubators for premature babies available.
“Everything was gone in a minute,” says Noura.
As well as losing the twins, they have also lost their frozen embryos.

The director of Al-Basma Fertility Centre, Dr Baha Ghalayini says all of Gaza’s nine fertility clinics have either been destroyed or are no longer able to operate.

Dr Ghalayini says the centre stored embryos for patients being treated at other clinics as well as their own. “I’m talking about 4,000 frozen embryos. These are not just numbers, they’re people’s dreams. People who waited years, went through painful treatments, and pinned their hopes on these tanks that were ultimately destroyed.”

As copied from the BBC article ;
‘IVF births made up more than 3% of births in the UK in 2023 - a figure roughly equivalent to one child in every classroom, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has said.

According to new data, around 20,700 babies were born during the year as a result of in vitro fertilisation - representing an increase from 8,700 in 2000.

More single patient and female same s*x couples opting for the treatment has contributed to the rise, while there has also been an increase in older patients.

However, NHS-funded cycles across the UK have decreased in recent years from 35% in 2019 to 27% in 2022 and 2023, the report found.

The chairwoman of the HFEA said the figures demonstrate the “changing landscape of the UK fertility sector” and how it might develop in the future.

The data, which covers the year 2023, indicated that 52,400 patients had over 77,500 IVF cycles at licensed clinics in the UK.

“IVF births are making up a higher proportion of all UK births over time, increasing from 1.3% in 2000 to 3.1% in 2023,” the report said.

“This means around one in 32 UK births in 2023 were via IVF - roughly one child in every classroom - compared to one in 43 in 2013.”
Of patients aged between 40 and 44, 11% of births were a result of IVF compared with 4% in 2000.’

Encouraging article published today from NICE ;

“Around 1,000 women per year with endometriosis could benefit from this new treatment that:

Starts working more quickly than injectable alternatives

Can be taken at home rather than at clinics

Combines all needed hormones in one pill

Returns hormone levels to normal faster when stopped

The treatment, called relugolix–estradiol–norethisterone (also known as relugolix combination therapy or Ryeqo), works by blocking specific hormones that contribute to endometriosis, while also providing necessary hormone replacement in a single daily tablet.

Endometriosis affects around 1.5 million women in the UK, causing chronic pain and fatigue when tissue similar to the womb lining grows elsewhere in the body. Despite its widespread impact, diagnosis typically takes 9 years from when symptoms first appear.

During the evaluation process, patient experts highlighted the importance of having additional treatment options that can be taken at home, giving people more autonomy in managing their condition.

“Instead of travelling to clinics for injections, there is now a daily tablet that can be taken at home,” Helen Knight added. “The treatment can also be stopped and started more easily, which is particularly important for those planning to have children and for managing side effects.”

The treatment will be available through routine NHS commissioning for patients for whom medical or surgical treatment for endometriosis has failed.

Today’s recommendation follows an earlier negative recommendation and comes after the company provided new evidence that addressed our initial questions about the treatment’s effectiveness and value for money.”

INSEMINATION

Many of you will have heard the word insemination, but what does this term actually mean? 🤷

Insemination describes the procedure in the laboratory whereby the s***m and eggs are brought together with the hope it will result in the fertilisation of the eggs. There are two methods of insemination -

➡Conventional IVF is when the prepared s***m sample is added to the culture media solution in which the collected eggs are incubating. This is the most natural method of insemination as there is natural selection allowed between the s***m and it is not an invasive procedure for the eggs.

➡ICSI (intracytoplasmic s***m injection) describes the procedure whereby an individual s***m is injected directly into each mature egg. It is required when the s***m parameters are sub-optimal, there is a history of poor fertilisation with IVF, or when there is known high levels of DNA fragmentation in the s***m. In these situations, conventional IVF may not be successful.

Surely we should be doing ICSI for all patients then? 🤷Well actually the answer to that is NO! The fertilisation rates between the two methods is comparable despite ICSI physically placing a s***m inside the egg. It must always be remembered that unlike conventional IVF, ICSI is an invasive procedure (approximately 5-10% of the eggs will not survive being injected) and any immature eggs cannot be injected, so it is definitely not advisable to do for all patients unless required.
