Antibodies, resulting from either vaccination against or infection with COVID-19 do not impact female fertility, according to new research.

Key molecular events regulating early embryo development have been revealed for the first time.
University of Cambridge researchers have created a detailed profile of molecular signals governing embryo implantation during the second week of embryo development. This crucial stage is the point at which many early pregnancy failures occur.
No significant differences were found in a study assessing the effect of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on key measures of male fertility.
Single French women and those in same-sex partnerships will be able to access IVF and other fertility treatments.
New legislation aims to extend access to fertility treatment, making it free under the country's public healthcare system, ending the exclusion of women who do not have a male partner.
The Scottish Government and NHS Scotland have launched their first campaign to encourage people to become sperm and egg donors. The initiative is being launched alongside four NHS fertility centres in Scotland: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Newly released guidance from the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), would allow couples to initiate legal proceedings against IVF clinics that have falsely guaranteed their success rates.
The guidance, drawn up with the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), sets out consumer law rights for those considering/undergoing fertility treatments. The document sets out the legal obligations of clinics to the consumers, and specifically requires that: 'Clinics should not be advertising misleadingly low headline prices to attract patients.' Further, clinics cannot 'cherry-pick' their success rates by using a particularly good year rather than the most recent one or selectively sampling patients who had better results. If a clinic breaches any legal guidelines in promoting their services, then patients may seek compensation through legal proceedings.
