Key wordsIVFResearchTrainingInnovationPrivateFrom the late 1970s, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) developed be way of intense collaboration between highly driven clinician and basic scientists (Cohen et al., 2005; Fishel, 2018). The resulting novel treatment options have truly revolutionized fertility care, as beforehand they were largely limited to either ovulation induction, intra-uterine insemination and (micro)surgery.

Those of us fortunate enough to work in the field of reproductive medicine are familiar with the media interest in our work which can be sometimes hostile and sometimes celebratory. Since the early days of IVF, the near universal profound wish to conceive a family has driven deep interest in almost every turn of advancement in the field. The pace of scientific progress has been remarkable and not infrequently a source of controversy.

AbstractWhat were the clinical outcomes from 332 autologous vitrified- warmed oocyte cycles derived from 3182 elective autologous oocyte freeze cycles carried out between 2008 and 2022 in a single-centre series? In this retrospective observational study, outcomes in 299 patients returning to use their frozen oocytes between 2015 and 2023 were analysed. A total of 3328 elective oocyte vitrification cycles were performed in 2280 patients. The return rate to use oocytes was 14% (299/2171).
