Preface
The age-related fertility loss biologically limits the time for women to successfully conceive and safely carry a pregnancy to term. This limited and individually variable reproductive timespan is especially confronting in view of the continued increase in overall live expectancy and the profoundly altered societal context. As most fertility specialist around the world, I’m faced with the emotional burden caused by age-related subfertility. In my clinical practice as a fertility specialist at the Centre for Reproductive Medicine in Brussels, I also realized that many, especially single women, are faced with their ticking biological clock and desperate to safeguard (part of) their reproductive potential until they find the right partner. To my knowledge, this is the first academic book to focus on the different aspects related to this timely topic. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the authors for their kind cooperation which made this scientific book possible. Brussels, Belgium 16 June 2017
