The idea of using contraceptive pills as part of an IVF treatment cycle may sound bizarre, but a team at Tel Aviv University have found that taking the pill can give more control over the timing of treatment.
It's often difficult to manage treatment because it isn't clear when each stage is likely to occur, or even exactly when you will be able to start an IVF cycle. If you're trying to arrange it around your job, this can make things particularly tough.
The Israeli study involved 1,800 women, and researchers gave them the pill at the point when they'd normally have started treatment as this apparently enabled them to control the timings more precisely.
I'm still not entirely clear whether this was just because it enabled them to pinpoint when they'd start treatment more accurately, or whether there was some additional benefit, but if you want to know more, you can see further details of the research here
