An IVF Alternative Could Make Having Babies Less Onerous


Startup Gameto has developed a technique for maturing eggs outside the body that’s showing promise at helping patients get pregnant with fewer hormone treatments.

IVF success rates vary widely depending on the patient’s age and their ovarian reserve, meaning the number and quality of eggs remaining in the ovaries. David Sable, a life sciences investor and former reproductive endocrinologist, says Gameto’s technique looks promising, but it’s hard to draw any definitive conclusions with such a small sample size.
