Welcome
There is always so much news in the fertility world, whether it’s to do
with ART or breaking the taboo of infertility, and the last few months
have been no different. There is never enough room in the magazine
for all the News stories, so see page 8 for two recent pieces of News and
here are a couple more that I thought you might be interested in:
