Assisted Reproductive Technology
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used to treat infertility. It includes fertility treatments that handle both eggs and sperm. It works by removing eggs from the ovaries. The eggs are then mixed with sperm to make embryos. The embryos are then put back in the parent's body. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common and effective type of ART.

Infertility means not becoming pregnant after having frequent, unprotected sex for one year or longer. If you are age 35 or older, infertility can be diagnosed after six months. Infertility also includes situations where you can get pregnant, but the pregnancy ends in repeated miscarriage or stillbirth.
