Resumo

“Never change a winning team” is an often-used saying in football, attributed to Sir Alfred Ernest “Alf” Ramsey, who guided England to their only FIFA World Cup victory in 1966. In assisted reproductive technology (ART), based on the results of the study by Wald et al. (1), this may be modified to, “Don’t immediately change a losing team.” In the results-driven world of sports, there is quick pressure from fans to change the team or sack the manager after short periods without success. In the results-driven world of ART, patients may demand to “change the team” after an unsuccessful in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, and change means hope.
