Text Box: What Types of Fertility Treatments Are Available?

There are three types fertility treatments:

Ovulation Induction involves the female taking fertility drugs to increase her chances of getting pregnant. Fertility drugs often come with some health risks and side effects but they can help regulate the menstrual cycle and increase the likeliness of pregnancy. 

Artificial insemination is the process of injecting sperm from the male into the female. This is often combined with fertility drugs and methods of helping the male produce more sperm that are stronger. Assisted Reproductive Technology, known as ART, are more complicated fertility treatments. This involves removing the ova from the female, fertilizing it with sperm from the male, and placing it back in her body before it is known if conception has taken place.

Invitro Fertilization is similar to artificial insemination but it involves removing the ova from the female, fertilizing it with sperm from the male, and making sure conception takes place. Then the embryos are placed into the uterus of the female. One side effect of this method is the possibility of multiple embryos being formed at the same time, leading to as many as seven babies being born at one time. 

The process of fertility treatments can be very simple and can help increase some couples chances of conceiving.
