Several ART techniques are widely recognized and practiced:
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): The most common type of ART, IVF involves the extraction of eggs and their fertilization with sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are then implanted into the uterus. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization. Cryopreservation: The process of freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use. This is particularly beneficial for individuals undergoing medical treatments that may affect fertility. Donor Egg or Sperm: Utilized when one partner's gametes are not viable. Donor eggs or sperm can be used in conjunction with IVF. Surrogacy: In cases where carrying a pregnancy is not possible, a surrogate may be employed to carry the fetus to term.
