This detailed text provides the reader with a reliable overview of the principles involved and the management required for ovulation induction in the treatment of infertility. This book is comprised of 68 chapters which cover the tailoring of ovarian stimulation regimens to a patient's medical history and previous response to treatment. Both the clinical and sonographic findings in evaluating ovulatory function and dysfunction are discussed in detail. Methods for monitoring folliculogenesis, which in turn allows the ART specialist to accurately predict the number, as well as the timing of the high quality of oocyte retrieval, are discussed in detail.
