Collecting and reporting data is a crucial aspect of in vitro fertilization (IVF) practice. During the following two decades after the first report of the European IVF-monitoring Consortium (EIM) on IVF data, the number of contributing countries increased gradually reaching nearly forty. For the first seven years of publication, between 2001 and 2007, Turkey did not provide IVF data to the European registry. Turkey first took part in the European registry in 2008 and thus also in the World registry. The addition of Turkish data to EIM was an important milestone, since Turkey appeared as the country with the sixth highest number of cycles, performing nearly eight percent of all European assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. Turkey continued contributing to the European registry for the following four years consecutively but after 2012 the input of Turkish IVF data stopped. Strikingly, between 2008-2012 Turkey became one of the main contributors to the registry with an ability to give a full report. So far, we do not have a complete European set of data and the number of cycles reported by European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) EIM can easily be said to be an underestimation of the actual number of cycles. IVF data from Turkey - a country having the 17th highest population in the World and appearing among the first six countries in Europe in terms of the number of ART cycles per year- will definitely contribute very much to ESHRE EIM database. It is now time to turn the tide and restart submitting Turkish data to European registry, but this time regularly and in a systematic method. Such an achievement will greatly contribute to the aim of EIM of achieving a complete data set.
收集和报告数据是体外受精（IVF）实践的一个关键方面。在欧洲IVF监测联盟（EIM）首次报告IVF数据后的二十年里，参与的国家数量逐渐增加，接近四十个。在2001年至2007年发布的头七年里，土耳其没有向欧洲登记处提供IVF数据。土耳其于2008年首次加入欧洲登记处，因此也加入了世界登记处。将土耳其的数据添加到EIM是一个重要的里程碑，因为土耳其成为周期数第六多的国家，占所有欧洲辅助生殖技术（ART）周期的近8%。土耳其在接下来的四年里连续向欧洲登记处提供数据，但在2012年之后，土耳其IVF数据的输入停止了。引人注目的是，在2008 - 2012年期间，土耳其成为登记处的主要贡献者之一，能够提供完整的报告。到目前为止，我们没有一套完整的欧洲数据，欧洲人类生殖与胚胎学会（ESHRE）EIM报告的周期数很容易被认为是对实际周期数的低估。来自土耳其的数据——土耳其是世界上人口第十七多的国家，并且在每年ART周期数方面位列欧洲前六个国家——肯定会对ESHRE EIM数据库有很大贡献。现在是扭转局面并重新向欧洲登记处提交土耳其数据的时候了，但这次要定期且系统地提交。这样的成果将极大地有助于EIM实现完整数据集的目标。
