Fertility treatment in the news

There seem to have been a spate of scare stories about fertility treatment in the news in the last couple of weeks, and it can be very hard if you're going through it yourself to know what you should believe or whether you should be worried. When I was having IVF, the safety of using frozen embryos was quite an issue, with many people refusing to even consider the idea, and it seems ironic now as there have been a number of studies suggesting using frozen embryos may actually be a very positive thing. The latest story focuses on ICSI, and is far from the first surrounding the treatment as most experts are clear that there may be risks that we are not yet sure about as ICSI is a far newer treatment than IVF itself. At the same time it is important to stress that the real risks are small and that many thousands of healthy babies have been born after ICSI treatment, which has allowed many men who would never have been able to have their own genetic children otherwise to become fathers, If you're ever worried about any aspect of infertility or treatment, you should always discuss it with your fertility specialist or doctor.
