Why has clinical evidence on IVF 'add-ons' not been forthcoming? A recent BBC Panorama programme investigated the use of these unproven add-ons – throughout the documentary there were repeated pleas for an evidence base for these treatments. Our experiences may shed light on why such evidence has not emerged.
Plastics that do not contain bisphenol A (BPA) – a compound known to harm reproductive health – may not necessarily be any safer than those that do, experiments in mice have shown.
The age at which a woman freezes her eggs has a significant impact on IVF success when they are thawed, suggests a new report by the UK's fertility regulator.

Is there any factual basis for these concerns?
