Study Links IVF Conception to Elevated LINE-1 DNA in Children

Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University found that children conceived via IVF have higher levels of LINE-1 DNA, a type of 'jumping gene,' compared to those conceived naturally. The study analyzed blood samples from 33 IVF-conceived and 42 naturally conceived children, noting the difference was more pronounced in girls. While the study does not prove causation or link to health issues, it suggests assisted reproduction may leave a genetic trace.

Greek Couple Welcomes Baby from 22-Year-Old Embryo, Sparking IVF Age-Restriction Debate

A Greek couple welcomed a daughter born from an embryo frozen for 22 years, made possible just before Greece’s 54-year-old age cap for IVF. The baby Georgia weighed 3.49 kg, and the parents — grieving the loss of their 21-year-old son Giorgos — credit their doctor for helping them seize a narrow 2½-month window. The story has sparked calls to review Greece’s strict IVF age rules, with the couple considering traveling abroad for future attempts.

Greek mother, 54, welcomes baby from a 22-year frozen embryo, challenging IVF age limit

A 54-year-old Greek woman, Cristina Rapti‑Tzelepi, gave birth to a daughter named Georgia using an embryo frozen for 22 years, beating Greece’s 54‑plus‑one‑day IVF age limit. The couple, who previously lost their 21‑year‑old son Giorgos and later named their daughter after him, faced time pressure to act before a government deadline. The baby weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces, and doctors have urged a review of the strict age rule amid Greece’s declining birth rate; the couple has hinted they may pursue additional children abroad.

Clinics Push MRT for IVF Despite Limited Evidence

Nature reports that a small number of clinics are advertising mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) to boost IVF success for people without mitochondrial disease. The procedure remains experimental, with few robust clinical data, and experts urge it only within trials due to uncertain benefits and potential risks, while supporters emphasize patient choice and possible fertility gains.

Donor eggs can’t reset the aging uterus, fertility falls after 49

Donor eggs can’t reset the aging uterus, fertility falls after 49

A study of 1,774 women found that while younger donor eggs raise IVF chances for some, women aged 49 and older still face lower pregnancy and live-birth rates and higher miscarriage risk. Pregnancy chances drop from about 54% in younger women to ~43% at 49+, live births fall from ~46% to ~32%, and miscarriage rises from 24% to 38%, suggesting age-related changes in the womb lining (endometrium) may limit the benefit of donor eggs. The findings don’t discourage donor-egg treatments but highlight that aging of the uterus matters and should be discussed with patients.

Ex-Wife Calls Ten-Year Marriage a 'Prison' as Jelly Roll Divorce Reveals Fractures

Grammy-winning singer Jelly Roll and his wife of nearly a decade, Bunnie Xo, are divorcing after about 10 years. On her Dumb Blonde podcast, Bunnie described their marriage as ‘loveless’ and compared it to a prison sentence, also reading private messages she’d received from men after the split. The couple, who met in 2015 and married in August 2016, filed for divorce in Tennessee on May 18, 2026, citing irreconcilable differences. Bunnie said Jelly had started dating others since their separation, a fallout she links to a Mother's Day IVF dispute that led her to leave. Despite the divorce, she says they remain close friends and are still hoping to have a baby together.
