Handbook of Current and Novel Protocols for the Treatment of Infertility

The field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is rapidly evolving and stimulation protocols, fertility strategies and aspects of infertility treatments are constantly being updated as advances and new discoveries are made. Handbook of Current and Novel Protocols for the Treatment of Infertility is a valuable resource of well-organized, comprehensive scientific data with practical guides and step by step protocol for infertility management. Written by contributors located worldwide, this book discusses different practice patterns and approaches used internationally and presents innovative topics including preimplantation genetic testing, time lapse imaging and the role of artificial intelligence in ART. This book provides up to date evidence-based guidance on daily practice and is a valuable resource for infertility providers, including trainees in the field of reproductive endocrinology and infertility, embryologist, specialist in reproductive medicine and gynecologists. Presents protocols for infertility management and new developments in practical techniques and understanding, including discussions on In Vitro Maturation, In Vitro Fertilization and ovarian stimulation Discusses innovative topics such as the role of artificial intelligence in infertility management, protocols using progesterone to prevent ovulation, dual-stim protocols, random start protocols and complications in IVF and the management of these complications Chapters written by well-known experts on infertility management from different parts of the world, providing a worldwide perspective Dedication Contents List of contributors Preface 1.
