IVF is one of several techniques to help people with fertility problems have a baby. During IVF, an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilised egg, called an embryo, is then returned to the woman's womb to grow and develop.
ICSI is a technique used during in vitro fertilization (IVF), where a single sperm is injected directly into the egg for fertilization.
Assisted hatching is an additional procedure for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
Egg and sperm donation is using eggs, sperm, or embryos from someone else to help an intended parent(s) have a child. Egg donation requires in vitro fertilisation (IVF), as the eggs are removed from one woman and donated to another.
Gestational surrogacy is when a person carries and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple; it's usually done through IVF.
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a lab procedure used with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to reduce the risk of passing on inherited conditions.
IUI is a fertility treatment that gives sperm a better chance of fertilizing an egg.
