Abstract: | Since 1986 in vitro fertilisation and allied techniques have formed a part of the fertility service at St. James’s Hospital.
By June 1988 using routine methodology, IVF or GIFT has been attempted at least once in 94 women with a further 17 having
one repeat procedure and 4 two repeat procedures performed. Although embryos were cultured from 54% of oocytes in which fertilisation
was attempted, no pregnancies were achieved during that period with IVF. Ten pregnancies had occurred during a GIFT cycle
(9 at first attempt, 16%) 60% of these are on-going. Also continuing were pregnancies where ovulation induction was abandoned
on day 8(1) and where conception occurred spontaneously whilst on the waiting list for the procedure (8) and in untreated
cycles following the procedure (4) (16%). Seventy percent of patients who failed the first time expressed a wish to try again. |
