An increasing number of childless Asian couples are travelling to India for fertility treatment because of a shortage of south Asian egg donors in the UK.
One couple who made the journey to India are 54-year-old Sunil and his wife Smita, 49 (their names have been changed) from the West Midlands.
Like one in six couples trying for a baby, the pair – a professional couple who married in their 40s – experienced problems conceiving. Their only hope of becoming parents is through IVF treatment using a donated egg.

It used to be that characters on popular television shows would find out in one episode that they’ve miscarried or can’t have children for one reason or another and in the next episode, they are adopting. Is any progress being made?
It was frustrating that they didn’t cover treating infertility or they treated it so lightly that no one could really grasp how all-encompassing the process truly is, but it may be changing for the better.

Bombshell Halle Berry dropped a bombshell of her own recently. The 46-year-old actress, the first African American to win a Best Actress Academy Award (for Monster’s Ball in 2002), announced she Berry, who has said she has type 1 diabetes, has a daughter, Nahla, 5, from a previous relationship. She is expecting her second child with fiancée Olivier Martinez, who is 47.
“I feel fantastic,” the former Bond girl told CNN. “This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me.”
Berry’s happy news has been a surprise to some infertility experts, as well. It’s caused one to issue this caution to the woman on the street: “We don’t want the 38-year-old woman deferring childbearing to take this as proof that they can easily conceive naturally in years to come,” says Joshua U. Klein, MD, medical director of Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York-Brooklyn.

As donors and surrogates make things potentially more complicated to explan, picture books remain eloquent ways of helping kids understand where they came from.
Behold the miracle of life — the swimming sperm, the blooming cells, and quite often the parental dread when it’s time to tell the kids how it all starts. Fortunately, picture books have long been around to ease The Talk, like Peter Mayle’s 1973 classic, Where Did I Come From? which stars a rotund cartoon couple in the buff and clarifies that “vagina” rhymes with “Carolina.” As in most such books of its ilk, the story essentially boils down to this: A man and woman love each other very much and lock genitals as an expression of their affection. Sperm meets egg and the woman’s tummy grows until — voila! — a baby.

The UK could be the first country to allow IVF babies to be created using DNA from three people.
This is currently illegal, but a UK fertility watchdog is lobbying health secretary Jeremy Hunt to lift the ban in order to stop a genetic defect.
Despite fears of ‘genetic engineering’ from some quarters, The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has told the government there is no evidence three-person IVF is unsafe.

Emma’s life is special indeed: Her aunt, Jen Kimble, donated an egg to her sister, Juliet, to allow Juliet and her husband to have their own child after years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive.

Israel: The Israel High Court of Justice on Sunday recommended the state clarifies legal procedures for gay couples seeking surrogacy, as a legal framework does not exist and this amounts to discrimination.
