Foreword
The introduction of a number of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) during the last 35 years besides having a tremendous impact in our specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology, also affected millions of infertile couples around the world. The starting point for this development in infertility treatments was the birth of the first IVF baby, Louise Brown, in 1978. Today, more than five million babies have been born after IVF procedures and in some countries 5 % of all births are after IVF. The accomplishment to bring IVF from animal research into the clinics was consummated by a very fruitful collaboration by Bob Edwards and Patrick Steptoe from the UK, but Professor Howard Jones from the USA also was a key player in this development. This new and comprehensive book of the theory behind controlled ovarian stimulation in ART and the clinical guidance in this field will be an important source of information for all medical doctors and embryologists in the field of ART. Importantly, this book also covers the pathophysiology and current research on the different causes of anovulation and increased knowledge in these fields will naturally be advantageous in designing the optimal stimulation protocols for each individual patient. Now, back to the early days of ART and the pioneers.
