Dr Oktay is a former research fellow of Professor Roger Gosden of Leeds University, who pioneered the technique used. Doctors now report that it has taken successfully and Ms Lloyd-Hart has begun ovulating again also she has "not seen all the hormonal benefits yet". <<< Skipped >>> Experts say the new technique could have a greater effect on human fertility than the advent of in vitro fertilization (IVF) 20 years ago. <<< __________________ Happy Eternity to all, Igor Artyuhov.
