FIIX Study

The FIIX Study is a clinical trial comparing the two main fertility procedures available through public funding in New Zealand – The Fertility and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI) trial in couples with unexplained infertility. Couples with unexplained infertility who have been accepted for publicly funded fertility treatment are suitable to participate.

DIANZ Study

The Donor Identity in Aotearoa New Zealand (DIANZ) study aims to consider/examine the impact of current law, policy and clinical practice governing donor-assisted conception on the health and wellbeing of children and families created through clinic-assisted donation programmes (egg, sperm and embryo donation).

Research Objectives:

• To determine the effect of the legal prohibition of donor anonymity on the health and wellbeing of families created through donor conception, including parental disclosure, ‘openness’ regarding donor conception, and donor-linking
• To provide feedback for fertility service providers and regulators regarding current practices
• To identify what, if any, support may be required for all parties affected by donor conception when families are created using donor gametes
