IVF doctors worry couples may choose less invasive method that restores natural fertility.

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - LONDON, UK -- Researchers from the International Institute of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (IIRRM) have responded to concerns expressed by infertility specialists that patients might choose NaProTechnology (NPT), over IVF treatment for infertility.

NPT is a new medical approach focused on restoring natural reproductive function rather than bypassing the problem through artificial means. In their response, NPT researchers emphasized that cumulative live birth rates are similar to those from IVF, but with much healthier outcomes for the babies, with no increased risk of multiple births.

The scholarly debate is published in the January/February issue of the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, and responds to recent research on NPT published in that journal.

NPT helps most couples have a single healthy baby.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
