“…These arguments have been exhaustively reviewed recently (Simon and Laufer, 2012;Coughlan et al, 2014a;de Ziegler et al, 2016;Zohni et al, 2016). A tentative list of possible factors interfering with embryo implantation and possible treatments is shown in Table 1 (Johnson et al, 2010;Practice Committee of ASRM, 2012;Brady et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013;Vercellini et al, 2014;Bosteels et al, 2015;Crawford and Steiner, 2015; Practice Committee of ASRM, 2015; Ata and Urman, 2016;de Ziegler et al, 2016;Ko et al, 2016; Practice Committee of ASRM, 2016; Robertson et al, 2016;Zuini et al, 2017). Of relevance here is that factors that are well-known to interfere with embryo implantation, and that are amenable to effective, economic and safe therapies, deserve to be identified and treated before embarking on an IVF programme.…”
