LONDON: Injections of the hormone testosterone could be an effective male contraceptive, according to a report issued Tuesday by the World Health Organization.

They endured two miscarriages and the $30,000 financial hit of two in-vitro fertilizations. Then, last December the Jorges, both 36, learned that Loretta's eggs and perhaps Basilio's sperm may have been used by their fertility doctor to impregnate another woman. Now they are waging an unprecedented custody battle for 6-year-old twins that makes King Solomon's dilemma look simple...
...Jorges seek. Last month Loretta told the Register that if only her eggs were involved, she would press for joint custody; then the twins could shuttle between the two couples, who live in the same middle-class neighborhood.
