Fertility clinics rated online

Fertility clinics are for the first time to be rated on their likely chance of delivering a baby.

The information, to be included on a revamped website, marks a departure from "historical" guidance which experts say is unreliable.

Previously the "Choose a Fertility Clinic" service from the body that regulates and licenses In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) clinics only showed recorded live birth data.

The new site from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) continues to include those figures. But in addition it estimates the "predicted chance" of a live birth at each clinic, based on a range of values.

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.
