A gentle form of IVF could cut hundreds of pounds from treatment bills without reducing a woman’s odds of having a baby, a leading fertility doctor says. A medical review found women who have the ‘kinder’ treatment, known as mild IVF, are just as likely to get pregnant as those undergoing conventional IVF. Study author Geeta Nargund, medical director of Europe’s largest IVF clinic, said it would also be safer for women and their children and could save the NHS millions. Mild IVF also uses FSH but around half the amount. This not only makes it safer, it also cuts the typical £5,000 price of IVF by around a quarter, said Professor Nargund, of the Create chain of fertility clinics.
