Nicoloa Townsend, Laboratory Manager
The latest figures released by the HFEA indicate the average age to begin fertility treatment has increased to 35.1 years. This reflects the current observation that women in the UK are choosing to start their families later in life. Women aged over forty accounted for one in five IVF cycles performed during 2010; this is an increase of more than 500% based on the number of cycles performed in 1992.

The Herts and Essex Fertility Centre looks forward to the increased volume of enquiries from potential altruistic donors.
From 1 April 2012 women who donate their eggs at the Herts and Essex Fertility Centre can receive at least £750 for each donation. This increase from £250 will no doubt lead to an increase in the number of potential altruistic donors coming forward – which was the aim of the HFEA when they put this to public consultation.

By Lynne Glover, Laboratory Manager
Have you considered becoming a sperm sharer? For more information, read on…..
As many people will be aware egg sharing has been a popular treatment option for numerous women young enough to share their eggs, who also need IVF/ICSI treatment themselves. This offers the sharer a good chance of success while at the same time helping another woman/couple who need donor eggs to fulfill their aspirations of becoming parents.
Fewer people are probably aware of sperm sharing however, which works in a similar way.
