Assisted reproductive technology in South Africa: first results generated from the South African Register of Assisted Reproductive Techniques.

Objective: We present the first report from the South African Register of Assisted Reproductive Techniques.

Methods: All assisted reproductive technology (ART) centres in South Africa were invited to join the register. Participant centres voluntarily submitted information from 2009 on the number of ART cycles, embryo transfers, clinical pregnancies, age of female partners or egg donors, and use of fertilisation techniques.
