Abstract
Infertility (the failure to conceive after 12 months of trying) affects one in six Australian couples. Infertile couples are increasingly being referred from general practice for assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. However, ART treatment is costly, highly invasive and associated with increases in morbidity and mortality for mothers and babies (Kamphuis et al. 2014).
