Summary


Based on the gold-standard procedures and protocols developed and used at Boston IVF, the Boston IVF Handbook on Infertility presents a coherent and structured approach to the infertile couple. Affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Boston IVF - in Waltham, Massachusetts - is one of the leading outpatient fertility and in-vitro fertilization centers in the world.

The book includes all that gynecologists and REIs need to evaluate and treat infertility in both women and men.

Both clinical and laboratory techniques are included. Also included is a chapter on preconception care as guidance for couples contemplating a pregnancy. New chapters for this revised and enlarged edition include sections on endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, ethics, and quality management
