The assisted reproductive technologies have provided investigators with insight into the events of reproductive physiology. Basal hormonal screening prior to treatment cycles has led to an improved understanding of the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, particularly in elucidating the concept of ovarian reserve. The study of individual responses to specific ovarian stimulation protocols has increased our knowledge of the events surrounding folliculogenesis and the ovarian response. The in vivo model provided by donor oocyte technology has provided further understanding of endometrial receptivity, age-related fertility, and placental steroidogenesis. This review examines some of the advances in reproductive endocrinology that have been facilitated by reproductive technology.
