Baby girl is first Irish birth following more economical IVF

Medics at an Irish hospital are reporting the first birth here by means of a new natural cycle (NC) method of IVF.

Doctors at the HARI (Human Assisted Reproduction Ireland) centre at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin are reporting that a baby girl was recently born using the natural cycle method that included an intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

The costs are one third of those faced by couples seeking to reproduce through conventional IVF.
