In December 2014, the International Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technology under the umbrella of the World Health Organization convened an expert meeting to re-examine, update and expand the infertility glossary previously published in 2009. Thus, the International Glossary of Infertility and Fertility Care was developed and published in 2017 simultaneously in Fertility and Sterility and Human Reproduction. In this article, we present the glossary translated into Spanish, obtained after evaluation by Argentine experts in the field of assisted reproductive technologies, reviewed by Dr. Zegers-Hochschild and approved by the board of the Argentine Society for Reproductive Medicine (SAMeR). The translation of the glossary to Spanish will facilitate communication between professionals responsible for the practice of ART in Spanish-speaking communities. Moreover, it will lend support to promote better understanding as well as safer and better care for Spanish-speaking minorities and those experiencing cross-border reproductive care.
