Make Your Views Known An important part of our work is to make our patients' views known to the HFEA and the media and we have now established a confidential email panel for this purpose.

An important message about Egg Sharing We urgently need more egg sharers and altruistic donors for our expanding Egg Sharing Programme. Even so, there is tremendous and heart-warming news as pregnancy rates from this programme are good and there is a spirit of calm confidence which is good for both donors and recipients.

Rising Success Rates Our results for January-December 2007 for patients of all ages show rising success rates on pregnancy tests per egg collection and embryo transfer. At Bridge, we set no medical criteria for treatment which would increase our success rates and are proud of our record for treating difficult cases and older patients. See also - |
