IVF or egg selection as a carrier

Hello my farther Neurology Professor told him that a hospital in London (UK) is running a programme for carriers. It is a form of IVF, to select a KD free egg, fertilise and then re-implant in the womb.

Have you heard about this?
Do you know where I can find information about it?
I don’t feel I need to see the Neurology Professor just yet as it is just an enquiry at the moment.

Any info would be welcome!

Thanks
Lucy

Hi Lucy,

I did a little google-style digging after reading your post, and I thought I was onto something when I found this.. (select first search find and open as PowerPoint). I didn't really understand it all (out of context I guess) but slide 15 mentioned Kennedy's.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Ke...ountryUK%7CcountryGB

I then had a search within the Guys' and St. Thomas' website for Kennedy's alongside IVF, but found the search very difficult to decipher. My dad recently did an experiment (only concerning sufferer's, not carriers) at UCL in London, so I'll keep my eyes and ears open for any doctor-y/experiment news. Here's hoping.
