A British fertility clinic has halved the rate of multiple births and increased pregnancy rates by allowing embryos created in the laboratory to mature for longer before they are returned to the womb. The success of the assisted conception unit at Guy's and St Thomas' hospital in London may suggest a way ahead for other clinics trying to give women the best chance of a baby without increasing their chances of a multiple pregnancy, which carries significant risks.
