In the biggest fashion spat of last week, Dolce & Gabbana and Sir Elton John have come to blows over the pair’s labelling of children born through IVF as ‘synthetic’.

Reflexology can ‘double the chance of getting pregnant’, a leading Northern reflexologist has commented ahead of an Altrincham course aimed at tackling infertility with alternative medicine.
