...cumulative success rate for all embryos created and implanted from a single harvesting of eggs - including those that had been frozen. Researchers found that the total pregnancy rate per egg retrieval was higher when embryos were implanted individually. For each "ovum pickup," the overall pregnancy rate was 38% among women who had elective single-embryo transfers, and 33% among those who had more than one embryo implanted...
...patient and the quality of the embryos. At Stanford's fertility clinic, where doctors can carefully select high-quality embryos by growing them in the lab for five days, until the blastocyst stage, instead of the more usual three days, success rates have been on par, if not higher among single transfers, says Westphal. "When I look at our data, in patients with really good blastocysts, the pregnancy rates were comparable," Westphal says. "The singles were just as good if not better in most of the groups." (See the most common hospital mishaps...
...even as doctors increasingly consider elective single-embryo transfer the best practice for many IVF candidates, and as more and more fertility clinics report comparable success rates between single- and multiple-embryo transfers, there is still no rule for all women. Even among the best candidates for IVF, says Westphal, there may be much variation. "People don't realize that there's a range," she says. "One 36-year-old is not the same as another 36-year-old, or someone who has done many, many cycles and has terrible embryo quality is not the same as someone...
...history, Harvard should embrace new traditions along with the old. Random housing is itself a recent innovation, so it stands to reason that traditions related to the moment of random selection are young. The Quad boat tradition’s popularity helps encourage a sense of community among freshmen and the greater undergraduate community. The university, with so many cogs to keep functioning, can at times seem more concerned with minutiae and protocol than with undergraduate welfare. We urge the university to look kindly upon such student-driven institutions instead of casting them down. At the same time, students must...
