Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We have now closed the survey on: Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer
and wish to express our thanks to Dr. Ariel Weissman who compiled the survey, and to the units that participated in this survey. 

We have received results from 177 IVF centers representing 56 countries. The results relate to 130,820 IVF cycles, of which 38,982 are FET. The following graph shows the distribution based on the continents.

On December 1st we will post a new survey, compiled by Dr. Matan Yamini, on the use of Metformin (Brand name: Glucophage, Glucophage XR, Glumetza, Fortamet, Riomet) during IVF treatment.

Further planned surveys are:
The use of GnRH analogues
The use of gonadotropins
