Assisted Reproductive Technologies are medical treatments to overcome infertility; many infertile couples will receive though ART treatments such as medications to correct ovulatory difficulties or surgery to correct anatomical problems. For some couples, the solution may require more involved medical procedures. These are several specialized treatments designed to increase the number of eggs or sperm, or bring them combine together, thus improving the likelihood of pregnancy. ART offers hope to couples who are unable to achieve pregnancy through other approaches.
