Fertility clinics selling £3,500 IVF 'add-ons' including glue that 'helps embryos stick to womb' Fertility clinics selling expensive IVF 'add-on' treatments have been warned they must tell couples there is no evidence that they work.
Almost three-quarters of patients desperate to be parents bought at least one add-on in the past two years, a patient survey found.
They cost up to £3,500 a time and include 'glue' or a painful 'scratch' which is claimed to help an embryo stick to the wall of the womb.
But the fertility regulator has concluded there is 'no conclusive evidence' that any of them boost the chances of falling pregnant. Mail Online
