• The University IVF program recently celebrated the one year anniversary of its opening. The first three babies conceived through our program have been born at term, and are doing well. Prenancy rates continue to be excellent, with approximately 50% of women conceiving per treatment cycle.
  
  
• The program is continuously evaluating its treatment protocols, in order to ensure and improve these successful pregnancy rates.
  
  
• The program is also evaluating the use of pre-implantation genetic diagnostic techniques, and hopes to incorporate this into the program in the near future.
  
  
• Our nursing staff recently completed an IVF Continuing Medical Education Course, in order to continue and improve the high quality of individualized nursing care that patients expect from University IVF. The University IVF program will conduct an open house in October 2003, to introduce the community to this successful program.
