Background:
One in six Australian couples of reproductive age experience difficulties in conceiving a child.

Discussion:
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is now the most common form of ART used in Australia, being used in almost half of all fresh cycles, with in vitro fertilisation being used in approximately one-third of all fresh cycles.
