Over a year ago VelSid told us about in vivo fertilization, a new assisted reproduction technique presented in Geneva as a "more natural" alternative to in vitro fertilization.
Unlike this one, in the in vivo fertilization, the embryo does not form in a test tube. It consists of artificially joining the ovule with the sperm and introducing it into the mother's fallopian tube, which they consider to be a more natural and favorable way for the embryo to develop than in a cold test tube.
The "in vivo" fertilization technique has been tested 15 years ago, but then it was ruled out because of its poor effectiveness.
Now, a group of Care Fertility scientists in England are conducting new research to rescue and refine it. They believe that it could be a less complicated alternative, faster and less expensive than the in vitro fertilization technique since laboratory costs would be reduced.
They are going to carry out a study that will be carried out in Nottingham in which 40 women will participate. It will be analyzed what is the pregnancy rate through this technique, what phases should be improved, if indeed the natural environment, the mother's uterus, is more favorable for the implantation and growth of the embryo.
In short, we will have the first results for May or June of this year, so we will be aware of all the advances of this new technique that could be of a more accessible hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally.
