Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART's) are a group of treatment options used for couples with infertility that cannot be treated using simpler methods. These procedures have excellent success rates but require significant effort and can be expensive. For all these reasons, advanced treatment options can be stressful. These natural stresses can be minimized if you understand the nuances of the various procedures. We encourage you to learn more and to freely ask questions of your medical team. Understanding the applications for each procedure will help you obtain the appropriate treatment and maximize your chance for success.
There are a number of different types of treatments encompassed under the ART umbrella. These include:
- Intrauterine Insemination
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)
- Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) and Tubal Embryo Transfer (TET)
- IVF vs. GIFT, ZIFT and TET
- Micromanipulation
