London -- A new study has alarmingly found that more than 90 per cent of women undergoing fertility treatments may be getting the wrong doses of fertility drugs meant to stimulate their ovaries.
This, the researchers state, not only means that the drugs may not work properly, but also that they may be exposing women to a greater risk of side effects.
During each menstrual cycle, women usually release one egg. The number is however increased during IVF, by giving them drugs. The eggs are then collected surgically.
Geoffrey Trew of Hammersmith Hospital in London and his colleagues used a "dose calculator" to check the dose given to a woman according to her age, body mass indexdefine, the estimated number of eggs left in her ovaries, and levels of a hormone called FSH that triggers egg development.
They used the calculator to check the dosage given to 161, and found that 75 per cent were being given a higher dose than required, while 15 percent were being given a lower dose of the infertility drugs.
When 113 of the women were then given the right dose, an average of 10 eggs were harvested.
"That is the ideal number of eggs you would be looking for," the New Scientist quoted Trew, as saying.
The findings of the study were presented at a meeting of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology in Lyon, France, last week. (ANI)

I found this site very interesting indeed as Mr Geoffrey Trew performed a laparoscopy on me in Sept 2005, after the procedure I was in a lot of pain, sickness, loss of appetite. My Geoffrey Trew suggested that I was to be observed for 24 hours, yet as the hours turned into a few days I was getting increasingly worse, with spiking temperatures vomiting and in severe stomach pain. Mr Trew and Stuart Lavery’s idea was to manage my condition conservatively and that he would take good care of me. 10 Days passed I was still in hospital extremely unwell, Mr Trew announced that I was getting better and would be discharged in the morning, that night I had a 10 hour emergency operation, left in I.C.U for 4 weeks fighting for my life with multiple organ failure 20% survival rate, after 4 weeks I was transferred to Torbay Hospital being barrier and quarantined nursed, I was discharged 13 months later after having 4 Major operations, came out on October 06 left disabled. We got no support from either of theses Doctors or the IVF Clinic, anyway not long now before my situation becomes very public knowledge, I was only 33 years of age when this happened Melanie Cox Devon.
Have you heard of a drug that lowers the risk of diabetes, colondefine cancerdefine, gallstones and Parkinson’s disease? That lowers lever damage, controls headaches and most notably lifts your mood? If this sounds too good to be true, think yet again. This substance is too good, yet it’s true too. We’re talking about coffee, folks!
It is virtually a dream come true. Forget you have been told about coffee being bad for you. Themedguru now knows and science confirms that coffee is not just good for you, it’s practically a miracle drink.
Ever imagined, what it would be like to lead a disease free life and be a part of a world where every body is hale and hearty? Well, it may sound utopian right now but with researches on stem cells on full swing, a few years down the line, it is a definite possibility.
On Oct. 16, 2006, Carron Morrow, from Alabama was successfully cured through a pioneering study in which stem cells were used to regenerate her failing heart. Not long after the surgery, Morrow began to feel like the same old energetic person. "I knew within two months something was going on," Morrow said. "I could sing a whole song at church." She soon got back to her job, and subsequent tests confirmed that her heart was functioning normally once again.
Dr. Mikao Usui, in the year 1922, founded a system of natural healing that was not based on any religion but, was meant for a person’s holistic cleansing and healing. This, he named REIKI.
The term ‘holistic healing’ refers to the cure of not just the person’s body, but also his emotions, mind and spirit. The Japanese word ‘reiki’ is made up of two words – Rei, meaning ‘God’s wisdom’ or ‘Higher Power’ and Ki, meaning ‘Universal Life Force Energy’.
