...many previous studies, which have looked only at the success rates of individual fresh embryo transfers, this study also considered the cumulative success rate for all embryos created and implanted from a single harvesting of eggs - including those that had been frozen. Researchers found that the total pregnancy rate per egg retrieval was higher when embryos were implanted individually. For each "ovum pickup," the overall pregnancy rate was 38% among women who had elective single-embryo transfers, and 33% among those who had more than one embryo implanted...
...study's findings may have particular relevance in the U.S., says Veleva, since the cost of IVF is roughly three to four times higher in America (sometimes more than $10,000 per cycle) than in Scandinavia and because many Americans pay for treatments out of pocket. Add to that the high cost and increased risks involved with multiple births: Veleva cites a 2000 study that found that, compared with singleton deliveries, the costs for twins, triplets and higher-order deliveries are approximately four, 11 and 18 times greater, respectively, mostly due to maternal and neonatal complications...
...Indeed, some past studies have shown the benefit of multiple-embryo transfer. "When you're just reporting pregnancy rate per transfer, some studies have shown better results in transferring two versus one," says Dr. Lynn Marie Westphal, a fertility specialist and director of women's health at Stanford University School of Medicine...
...York, she laughed, told me I would never get to the office in time for the interview, and booked me a ticket on the Delta shuttle. I saw her point—the “high-speed” Acela can only travel an average of 85 miles per hour. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, a close friend of mine from high school was landing at Shanghai Pudong Airport for his semester abroad. He bought a ticket for the brand-new Maglev train from Pudong to the center of the city, covering a distance of twenty...
...High-speed trains, true to their name, are fast. They travel over 150 miles per hour, which is about three times faster than a car on a highway. When you factor in traffic, travel by car is even slower in comparison. They are also faster than air travel for distances of less than 500 miles—though airplanes can reach higher speeds, flight check-in, interminable security lines, and inevitable delays make train travel a speedier option...
