my wife and I are very recently married. Have been together for 3 years and have a secure home.  We are looking to start a family but can't do that without a donor!

This is the first time we have messaged anything about this so don't really know what else to put!

Thank you

Due to personal reasons I find it hard to be intimate with people so therefore would like to use artificial insemination to get pregnant. I am not looking to co-parent. I am looking prefereably for no contact afterward but am willing to send occasional email/photo updates, this is also open for discussion

I would really appreciated it if anyone could help :D i am happy to answer any questions people may have.. just drop me a message :)]]>

The guidelines state that IVF should be offered after two years of failed attempts, not the current three. And the upper age limit should rise from 39 to 42 in England and Wales.

A report in 2011, showed one in four NHS trusts offered the full three cycles. Each round costs £3,000. Around one in every seven heterosexual couples in the UK who are trying for a baby experience problems conceiving a child. In 2011, nearly 14,000 women became pregnant through IVF.

The new guidelines, which apply to England and Wales only, state that women aged between 40 and 42 should be offered one cycle of IVF as long as it is their first time and they have enough eggs. The age limit for NHS-funded fertility treatment is 38 in Scotland and 39 in Northern Ireland, according to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).

Tim Child, who helped devise the guidelines and is the director of the Oxford Fertility Unit, said the decision was not taken lightly. "When a woman reaches her mid-30s her fertility begins to decline, even more so from her late 30s. "However, many women do conceive naturally in the 40 to 42 year age group. But for those who can't, and who have been diagnosed with the medical condition of infertility, then improvement in IVF success rates over the last decade mean that we are now able to offer cost-effective treatment with a single IVF cycle." Medical advances mean this age group has similar success rates to that of younger women when the original guidelines were introduced in 2004.

The update still recommends women under 40 are offered three cycles of IVF.


Funding issues

However, some fertility experts fear the guidelines may not lead to changes because they are not binding and many NHS trusts already have funding issues.

Dr Sue Avery, a spokesperson for the British Fertility Society and from Birmingham Women's Fertility Centre, told the BBC: "It's good that there's the possibility there, but the funding does not match. "I can't see any prospect of it happening immediately. Our biggest concern is hanging on to the funding we've got."


Multiple births

The guidelines also introduced rules designed to significantly reduce the number of twins and triplets being born. Multiple births, a consequence of implanting more than one embryo to increase the odds of success, are one of the biggest risks associated with IVF for both mother and child. Twins tend to be born smaller and earlier - triplets even more so. Women under the age of 37 should have only one embryo transferred in their first cycle.


Intrauterine insemination

Most couples should no longer be offered intrauterine insemination on the NHS, as its results are no better than sex. However, when there is not an option - such as same sex couples and patients with certain disabilities - it would still be an option.


Still risks
Dr Tony Falconer, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said fertility problems could have a devastating effect on couples. He welcomed the guidelines, but warned there were risks attached.]]>

After more than 30 years of IVF successes, starting with Louise Brown back in 1978 the current average success rate for IVF is still only averaging 40%. This is despite all the investment in IVF research and new techniques.

One of the other aspects of IVF treatment is the number of embryos created and implanted. Clinics logically conclude that the IVF process is time-consuming and expensive, (averaging $12,500 per course in the US). It therefore makes sense to create as many embryos as reasonably possible during the process and then to implant up to 5. This is all done to increase the chances of success.

The commercial pressure on clinics to show a strong success rate is obvious. Every clinic is trying to show a higher rate of success than their nearest rivals.

The result of this process is that at last count, (in 2006) there were approximately 500,000 frozen embryos in US clinics alone. The current total number of frozen embryos worldwide can only be guessed at, but it probably runs to millions.

This raises moral, medical and religious questions. Regarding the issue of religion, for many people of devout faith, (no matter their actual religion) life starts once an embryo is created. Having millions of embryos in frozen storage is clearly a fundamental issue when you regard these embryos as already living. These embryos cannot be stored forever, but at the same time, (in the eyes of many) they cannot be destroyed.

During the interview with Piers Morgan her ice-skating partner Christopher Dean spoke for the first time about his relationship with Dancing On Ice judge Karen Barber, with Karen telling Piers they are very much in love.

Talking about her struggle to have children with husband Phil Christensen, Jayne said: “It’s easy for the guy to go off and start a family because it wouldn’t affect his skating, whereas for me it would have stopped what we were doing. So I left it quite late.

“I was into my 40s by then and having an ectopic pregnancy as well. I got pregnant quite quickly and I thought, ‘Oh, this is fine.’ And when I went to have a scan they said I had an ectopic pregnancy, and I didn’t know what that meant.”

She continued: “They said ‘The embryo’s growing in one of the tubes.’ And I said, ‘Oh, OK, so how do you get it out then?’ And they said, ‘We don’t. We can’t.’ So that’s when it hit me.

So I went through the surgery and then it was obvious it was going to be more difficult. So we tried IVF for about a year. That, as a lot of women know, is traumatic in itself.”

As Jayne fought back tears, Chris said: “She’s never talked about it in public before.”

The biggest laugh of the evening came when Piers asked the sporting couple if they ever “had a dabble” with each other. Jayne insisted No. “Well you see, when I first saw Chris, I fell in love with him but then we started skating together and that was it, it was done.”

But Chris hinted at more, saying: “We may have dabbled slightly, but...” He added: “It’s an unusual relationship that we have. And yet at the same time, of course we love each other. You wouldn’t be able to do all that we do without love.”

Speaking about Chris, Karen told Piers: “There’s so much we have in common and we think of it, not as a relationship, but as a really long conversation. And I hope to be talking to him for years to come.” Chris described the breakdown of his marriage to Jill Trenary as “horrible”.
