IVF clinics should be allowed to transfer two embryos, says study

Some European countries like UK, Belgium and Sweden are moving or have brought in a single-embryo policy in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments, follow the presumption that more than one embryo could generate a twin pregnancy. In women who needs IVF treatments, this kind of pregnancy have risk, because there is a higher chance that twins will be born prematurely and at low birth weights, and the damage related causes high bill to the National Health Service (NHS).

But Professor Debbie Lawlor (epidemiologist at Bristol University) and Professor Scott Nelson, (researcher in reproductive medicine at Glasgow University) said there should have more flexibility in the policy about IVF treatments. In their research of the outcomes for women undergoing fertility treatment in the UK, they discovered that one embryo is not always best. They found a high success of live births in women under and over 40 years when they were implanted with two embryos; success rates were much higher for the under 40s, and for over 40s women were less likely to lead to twins (mostly because older women are less successful in carrying twins to term.)

The researchers suggest that policy of IVF treatments guidance should be based on prognostic indicators because this kind of pregnancy is expensive for families and the state.

the music in my life

The music is an important element in my life. For example, when I`m on the bus I try to listen music to make me feel more energetic and cheerful… I look all around me and I feel like I`m in a movie. When I need calm, I turn to my meditation music. If I need to feel me more secure I listen other kind of music… the music is related directly with my emotions.

One of my favourites bands ever is Beirut. I discoverd their music in a -video of a tribal bellydance performance . The dancer is amazing, and the music is perfect to her movements. I needed to know this group, and I fell in love when I listened their albums. I have chosen several songs of Beirut for my own performances.

Actually, for me the music is related ever with the dance. I begun to learn bellydance at 14 years old, and I discovered the oriental music. A very different style of music, different instruments, different languaje. I liked it since the beginning. Then, when I knew tribal bellydance, I opened my mind to dance any kind of music… once or twice I have danced System of Down!
