The number of IVF cycles performed in each center is also rising and vary from center to center ranging from 100 to 25000 per year. Last decade has also observed major advances in various laboratory and culture techniques in order to improve the IVF success. However, there is limited availability of collective resources to provide information and guidance to those planning to start new units and to those planning to expand their existing units.
