IVF Research
Scientists in Queensland, Australia may have discovered possible micro-organisms that may be causing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) problems. Though IVF is considerably effective source as a fertility treatment, there are still a large number of IVF couples who do not successfully conceive.
ABC News Australia wrote, "Christine Knox from the Queensland University of Technology's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation says a research project has found bacteria in the follicular fluid that surrounds eggs in the ovaries. Dr Knox says scientists had previously thought the fluid was sterile."We want to try and work out why this is happening, which micro-organisms may be causing the adverse IVF outcomes," she said."
In recent months IVF has stormed onto headlines for faulty practices at clinics in the US – the 'Octomom case' and also new research, studies and progress has been made in for IVF. Although IVF and fertility clinics may be scrutinized, it is still considered a credible and reliable method of conception.
