IVF Babies In the news:IVF babies more likely to be boys "WOMEN undertaking IVF treatment are more likely to give birth to a boy. A study by IVF Australia embryologist Jean Scott found that embryos conceived using the IVF technique and grown for a longer period of time had a higher chance of being male." The Sydney Morning Herald reports about a paper presented to the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague last week.

There is a 56% percent chance of a male baby if an embryo is conceived using IVF and grown to blastocyst (8 cell - 5 day) stage.
