A major fertility show is facing criticism over 'exorbitant' products it showcases to couples after the British Fertility Society withdrew its support. The society, which represents top IVF experts, has said it will no longer attend the Fertility Show in London because of concerns over 'non-medical treatments' sold to couples trying to have a baby. Products sold by companies at the two-day event next month at Olympia include supplements costing up to £130. But Dr Raj Mathur, a consultant gynaecologist and chairman of the British Fertility Society, said that non-medical treatments on offer 'have included alternative therapies, which have no evidence or minimal evidence they can improve fertility'. He advised couples 'to decide on fertility treatments and products by speaking to a clinic which knows them well'.
