Understanding the different types of assisted reproductive technology

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) encompasses a range of advanced medical procedures designed to help individuals and couples overcome infertility and conceive a child. These techniques involve the manipulation of eggs, sperm, or embryos to optimise the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The specific ART techniques employed will depend on the individual’s or couple’s unique fertility profile, medical history, and desired family-building goals. Factors such as age, underlying health conditions, and previous fertility treatments will all play a role in determining the most appropriate ART approach.

Successful ART outcomes rely on a combination of medical expertise, advanced technology, and personalised treatment plans. At Clover Hospital and Fertility Clinic, our specialists work closely with patients going through ART options; we provide guidance and support them through every step of the way.

Factors influencing the choice of ART include age, medical history, and specific fertility issues. Exploring all options will empower couples or individuals to make informed decisions. Understanding the varying ART types and their success rates can lead to achieving desired outcomes. Ultimately, the journey through ART requires patience, support, and careful planning. 

Types of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) include:

  1. In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF): Eggs are fertilised outside the body, and the embryos are transferred into the uterus.
  2. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single sperm is directly injected into an egg to enhance fertilisation.
  3. Egg Freezing: This allows women to preserve their eggs for future use, providing flexibility in family planning.
  4. Third-Party Reproduction:
  • Egg Donation: Women donate eggs to help others conceive.
  • Sperm Donation: Men donate sperm to assist individuals or couples in conceiving.
  • Surrogacy: A surrogate carries a pregnancy on behalf of another individual or couple.
