Conversely, the retrospective study included all infertile couples initiating treatment between January 2012 and December 2021 at the Fertility Center. Data encompassing personal history and demographic details were extracted from the internal database of Humanitas Fertility Center to assess the factors involved in a treatment discontinuation.
