title: Optimizing use of assisted reproduction.
abstract: Infertile couples who have failed to achieve pregnancy now have new options that have become available in the last two decades. The costs are generally large and frequently not covered by insurance. Risks include multiple pregnancy and hyperstimulation syndrome. Evidence concerning results of several treatment options is presented. The large difference in success between age groups is displayed. Results to be expected from donor eggs to overcome the low success in older age groups (>38 years) are presented.
