Assisted reproductive technology (ART): Assisted reproductive technology (ART) combines the sperm and eggs outside the body, and then places the embryos into the uterus. The main type of ART is in vitro fertilization (IVF). Before IVF, the woman will get a series of injections to help her ovaries produce a lot of eggs. Once those eggs are mature, they’ll be removed using a simple surgical procedure. The eggs are fertilized with her partner’s sperm. Fertilized eggs, known as embryos, are grown in the lab for a few days. One or two good quality embryos are then transferred into the uterus. Other ARTs are: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). One healthy sperm is injected into an egg. Assisted hatching. The embryo cover is opened to help it implant more easily in the uterus. Donor eggs or sperm. If there’s a problem with the eggs or sperm, you can get either one from a healthy donor. Gestational carrier. Another woman carries your baby to term for you.
