Fertility Treatments Increase Risk of Birth Defects
A new study out of Canada has found that babies conceived with the help of fertility treatments have an elevated risk of birth defects.
Nearly 3 percent of ART babies had a birth defect versus just under 2 percent for babies conceived naturally. That translated to a 58 percent greater risk. The chances of a defect rose as the complexity of reproductive help did _ they were highest for IVF and lowest for simply giving medications to spur a woman's ovaries to make more eggs.

Extremely interesting blog post thanks for sharing I have added your website to my bookmarks and will be back :) By the way this is a little off subject but I really like your web page layout.
The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.
Great article! This could aid a lot of people find out about this particular matter. Are you keen to include videos along with these? It could absolutely help. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you
