A maximum of two eggs or embryos may be transferred during a single cycle of infertility treatment in women aged under 40 years, with no exceptions, and no more than three in women over this age, rules the latest code of practice from the government's regulatory body on embryo research and treatment. Published by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority this week, the sixth edition of the Code …

A theoretical model for single blastocyst transfer
TLDR
The model showed that cases having at least one embryo with grade ≥ 3BB might serve as suitable candidates for SET, and calculated theoretical multiple pregnancy rates by assigning patients to SET instead of DET according to a combination of embryo grades and availability.
Epidemiology of multiple pregnancy and the effect of assisted conception.
Elective transfer of two embryos: Reduction of multiple gestations while maintaining high pregnancy rates
TLDR
In IVF and oocyte donation, the elective transfer of 2 embryos resulted in similar pregnancy rates and significantly reduced multiple gestation rates when compared to the electives transfer of 3 embryos.
Dramatic reduction in triplet and higher order births in England and Wales
TLDR
Despite a continuing (but slower) upward trend in twin maternities, analysis of recent data shows that the rate of triplet and higher order births in England and Wales has declined by one‐quarter since 1998.
Predicting IVF outcome
TLDR
This PhD thesis describes the development and validation of several prediction models in IVF and focuses on couples’ prognosis with IVF, as well as optimizing embryo transfer strategies.
