A South Carolina Senate proposal would define an unborn child as a human being from conception and expand civil and criminal tools around abortion. Medical and legal groups warn the language could reach assisted reproduction, including IVF, even as supporters say it targets abortion providers and those who aid abortions.
A large randomized trial has shown that natural ovulation is as effective as hormone treatments for preparing the uterus in frozen embryo transfers during IVF, while posing fewer risks to mothers. The study involved over 4,000 women and highlights potential benefits in reducing complications like pre-eclampsia. Researchers suggest this could influence future IVF protocols for those with regular cycles.

A study reveals that preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, a standard IVF procedure, cannot detect certain genetic changes that occur in embryos shortly before implantation. Researchers observed these abnormalities in real time using advanced microscopy on thawed human embryos. While the findings highlight limitations in embryo screening, their impact on pregnancy success remains unclear.
