Assisted Reproductive Technology 

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) refers to any infertility treatment that uses advanced technology to combine sperm and eggs outside the body in a laboratory.

Some infertile couples will choose to use lower-technology treatments, such as intrauterine insemination (IUI), before turning to ART. Others find that their chances at getting pregnant are optimal with ART. It's estimated that about one-third of infertile couples in the United States are good candidates for infertility treatment using ART.

In Vitro Fertilization

Many ART procedures involve in vitro fertilization, the process in which eggs, retrieved from the ovary, are fertilized in the laboratory with the partner’s sperm (or donor sperm, if necessary). Subsequently, the resulting embryos are transferred into the woman’s uterus.  There are four major steps in an IVF cycle:
