556. IVF Breakthroughs: What's Actually Coming Next

In this episode, Prof Chapman answers a listener question about the future of IVF, covering what innovations are genuinely exciting and whether treatment will become more accessible and affordable. He reflects on how success rates have climbed from 10% to around 40% per embryo transfer over three decades, and gives his honest take on the current "flavours of the month": AI in embryo selection, non-invasive genetic testing, and research into environmental toxins. With a fertility nurse adding the patient perspective on accessibility and public sector options, this is a candid look at where fertility science is really heading, and why steady 1% gains may matter more than headline breakthroughs. Explore the 'Prof. Michael Chapman - The IVF Journey' Facebook Page, your reliable destination for cutting-edge insights and guidance within the realm of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).Don't miss out on the IVF Journey podcast; stay informed with the latest episode updates.
