This is the most basic form of fertility treatment and in many cases, all couples need for a conception is timed intercourse. Given the fact that a women’s body requires to be ovulating timed intercourse is the simplest form of treatment, a couple can receive.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one type of artificial insemination and is treating infertility. IUI works by putting sperm cells directly into the uterus around the time a female is ovulating, helping the sperm get closer to the egg.

In vitro fertilization is an assistive reproductive technology which involves retrieving eggs from a woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm. This fertilized egg is known as an embryo. The embryo can then be frozen for storage or transferred to a woman’s uterus.

The final state of the in vitro fertilization treatment is known as the embryo transfer wherein the fertilized egg, is placed in the woman’s uterus surgically. The placement of the embryo is done with the help of a catheter that is inserted into the vagina to deposit the embryo into the uterus.

Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis involves testing an embryo before it implants for a specific, known genetic disorder. Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis is used so that embryos unaffected by the disorder can be returned to the uterus.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an embryonic procedure done in unison with IVF where a tissue biopsy of a developing embryo is taken and tested for genetic (ab)normalities. The tissue biopsy takes place on blastocysts stage embryos.

Egg donation is a process in which a fertile woman donates an egg, or oocyte, to another woman to help her conceive. The procedure typically involves a doctor removing an egg or eggs from the donor, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and then transferring the resulting embryos into the recipient’s uterus.

Fertility preservation involves the saving one’s gametes – eggs, sperm, or reproductive tissues such that the same can be used in the future to have biological offspring. Thus, aiding the possibility of cancer patients having the ability to retain their fertility and the possibility of biological procreation

Vitrification is a technology that is used in the embryo and egg freezing process so that they can be stored for later use. It is a technology that has many uses outside of fertility care with egg and embryo freezing.

In vitro maturation is a procedure wherein a woman’s eggs are collected and matured outside the body. This is done as part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. To prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, IVM may be considered for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting also known as immunomagnetic cell separation, binds magnetic particles to cells through an antibody interaction with surface markers of the targeted cells. Then, those targeted cells are magnetically isolated from the rest of the biological sample.

Endometrial Receptivity Analysis is a genetic test that takes a small sample of a woman’s endometrial lining to determine which day would be the best day to transfer the embryo during an IVF cycle.

Assisted hatching is an assisted reproductive technology that is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional IVF treatment. The theory behind assisted hatching is that it could possibly help with embryo implantation.

Surgery to address issues causing infertility can often be performed using minimally invasive techniques that involve smaller incisions and quicker recovery time. Conditions causing infertility that may be treated surgically include uterine fibroids and anomalies, tubal blockage, ovarian cysts and endometriosis.

As many as 10% to 15% of infertile men have no sperm in their ejaculate (the fluid released from the penis during orgasm). This is called azoospermia. Forty percent of cases are due to a blockage (obstruction) in the reproductive tract. Problems with sperm production account for the rest.
