How to Prepare the Egg and Embryo to Maximize IVF Success by Gabor Kovacs (Monash University, Victoria)

This comprehensive review of the factors that affect the harvesting and preparation of oocytes and the management of embryos will allow practitioners to make evidence-based decisions for successful IVF. The book reviews and re-considers the value of strategies and outcomes in the management of fertility and conception rates, centred on the production of oocytes, and successful development of the embryo. Authored by leading experts in the field, chapters engage with treatments and strategies that affect the production of oocytes and embryos, optimizing outcomes in the management of female fertility, conception rates, and live births. This vital guide covers controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, the role of AMH in determining ovarian reserve, and primary stimulation agents and the use of adjuncts. Integral for all clinicians and embryologists working in reproductive medicine units, readers are provided with evidence-based, comprehensive advice and review of all factors affecting the management of oocytes and the embryo that are vital for successful IVF cycles.

How to Prepare the Egg and Embryo to Maximize IVF Success Reviews

'The beauty of this book is that it is very easy to understand and is written in simple English language. It is very useful for a learner working in a subfertility unit, and it would also be helpful as a handbook for clinical use on a daily basis ... I feel this book would be useful as a guidebook for infertility at all levels.' Tahira Batool Chaudhry, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists
