Fertility Add-ons – Do They Work? Are They Worth It?

Trending3.5(New)

Fertility Add-ons – Do They Work? Are They Worth It? is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed for healthcare professionals working in fertility care, reproductive medicine, nursing, embryology, women’s health, general practice, and assisted reproductive technology (ART) settings. The course provides an evidence-based overview of fertility treatment add-ons, examining their effectiveness, limitations, clinical indications, ethical considerations, and role in modern fertility practice. Fertility add-ons are additional procedures, technologies, medications, or laboratory techniques offered alongside standard assisted reproductive treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). These interventions are often marketed as methods to improve implantation, embryo development, pregnancy rates, or live birth outcomes.

No. Evidence supporting many fertility add-ons remains limited or inconsistent.

Assisted hatching is a laboratory technique that creates a small opening in the embryo’s outer layer to potentially aid implantation.

ICSI is commonly used in cases of male factor infertility to assist fertilisation.

PGT screens embryos for certain genetic abnormalities before embryo transfer.

Counselling helps patients understand evidence, risks, costs, limitations, and realistic expectations.
