This new research, International Natural Procreative Technology Evaluation and Surveillance of Treatment for Sub-fertility (iNEST) : enrollment and methods1  sponsored by the IIRRM, and involving multiple IIRRM members, was published earlier this year.  "iNEST" worked to establish and build more robust outcomes research for Restorative Reproductive Medicine, and was the first multi-clinic multinational study published for Restorative Reproductive Medicine (and specifically for NaProTechnology).

Dr. Joseph Stanford, the lead author on the paper hosts this journal club.  He is joined by Dr. Paul Carpentier and Dr. Shahpar Najmabadi who were also co-authors on the study.
