The goal of this presentation is to discuss the costs associated with adding oocyte aspiration to your clinical program. Also discussed will be the potential profits that can be generated by adding this service to your clinical program, especially if your service already provides reproductive work including embryo transfer. Immature follicle aspiration will mainly be discussed as this will be likely the most convenient aspect to add to a clinical program.
