New fertility treatment IVM - first babies born using this technique.

A mother has given birth to twins using a revolutionary new fertility treatment for the first time in the UK.
The fertility technique, called in vitro maturation (IVM), could be a good alternative to conventional IVF for some high-risk women, say experts.

Under the process, women do not first need to take potentially risky fertility drugs as they do with IVF.

The technique is also cheaper and faster - but its success rate is lower and it is not available on the NHS.

The twins were delivered a minute apart on Thursday 18 October.

The boy was born first, weighing 6lb 11oz, while his sister weighed 5lb 14oz. Both were said to be doing well.

i would love to give this a shot but probably won't get a chance due to availability and money etc. apparently the success rates are better for older woman.

nope, but have unexplained secondary infertility. i don't want to go down the ivf route because i find the thought of it quite scary and as i am ovulating every month it seems unneccessary to stimulate my ovaries.

Are you doing ivf pruners?

sorry the 'as well' bit kind of gives it away. what stage are you at? don't know if you would mind maybe meeting up to chat cos tbh i have never discussed ivf with someone going through it.

was going to start a thread on this. i think its fab, think this would be a better option for most women.

Scheherezade, gladly.
