future of IVF

I was told by someone I know about a selective egg process used in the UK which can detect the best eggs for IVF which has increased the success rates to over 80%. Is this being introduced to Australia soon?
This might be a stupid question but I was wondering about the future of IVF, are there expected to be significant improvements in the next few years?

I was always led to believe that Australia is the world leader in IVF progress. Don't they already do this as part of IVF anyway?

After my recent boost cycle I met with my FS and we went throught which egg did what and ended up where. There really was no ryhme or reason to how they progressed. Eg. one egg fertilised and divided quickly and well, but failed to make it to blastocyst stage, whilst there were others that were slow off the mark but turned out to be good blasties etc.

My clinic has just hired a new embryologist and my FS is keen to look at this, but I don't know, going from my results, if it's that easy to tell which eggs will do what.

you would be referring to a procedure called CGH (comparative Genetic/Genomic Hybridisation) which is quite new,,,excrutiatingly expensive and is available so far here in Australia at Sydney IVF I believe......it involves looking at every single chromosome in the embryo and making sure all the right pairs are there...kinda like large scale PGD.....it was developed in the UK but is so costly it only used at present for women who have repeated IVF failure, embryo quality issues, repeated miscarriages, age related question marks over egg quality etc........I "think" at present it is well over $10,000 - $12,000 for one cycle out of pocket.......
