The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has published a final consensus statement advising that IVF clinics should not charge patients for add-on treatments that are not proven effective by clinical trials.
The final session at the Progress Educational Trust's annual conference 'Make Do or Amend: Should We Update UK Fertility and Embryo Law?' continued the theme of looking to future reform of fertility law, as had the keynote address given by Sir James Munby. Chaired by Fiona Fox, on her last outing as the Chair of Trustees of PET, the session ranged from personal experience, through issues arising in legal cases and socio-legal research, right to the idea of 'ripping up the rulebook' and starting again.
Both partners should be offered tests when a couple experiences repeated pregnancy loss, according to new research.

I am a registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology and am completing a doctorate in reproductive medicine with the title endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). The survey is a UK-wide survey of practice. I am hopeful for one response per clinic. The results are entirely confidential and will form the first chapter of my doctorate thesis.

Abstract
Recent publicized events of cryogenic storage tank failures have created nationwide concern among infertility patients and patients storing embryos and gametes for future use. To assure patient confidence, quality management (QM) plans applied by in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratories need to include a more comprehensive focus on the cryostorage of reproductive specimens. The purpose of this review is to provide best practice guidelines for the cryogenic storage of sperm, oocytes, embryos, and other reproductive tissues (e.g., testicular and ovarian tissue, cord blood cells, and stem cells) and recommend a strategy of thorough and appropriate quality and risk management procedures aimed to alleviate or minimize the consequences from catastrophic events.
