The economic implications of the use of assisted reproductive techniques require consideration. Since March 2005, in France, only 6 intrauterine inseminations and 4 IVF attempts are free of charge for the patient. However, definition of "acceptable" pregnancy rate for a new attempt remains discussed (10%, 15%, 20%?). Furthermore, several criteria should be considered when discussing a new IVF attempt, including woman age, FSH levels, antral follicle count and infertility aetiology. For example, in patients with secondary infertility, reasonable pregnancy rates (15-20%) can be archived even after 6 or 7 failures.
