title: Infertility classification: a work in progress sounds like SOAP revisited.
abstract: Documentation and communication regarding infertility evaluation and management continue to be a work in progress. Grading systems focused on the degree of infertility and the associated prognosis are a step in the right direction. A subjective, objective, assessment, plan (SOAP) approach is a logical way to provide a detailed method of communication and documentation when dealing with infertile couples.
