Fertility treatments are used to support or assist one’s own reproductive biology and thus increase the chances for a pregnancy to begin.

Today there are many ways to treat infertility.

Patience is often needed although as many as 45% of couples need only one effective treatment to have a child.

The treatment methods include:

1. Ovulation treatment
2. Insemination
3. In vitro fertilization treatments
4. Donated eggs, sperm and embryos

New treatment methods are constantly being developed.

With a so-called long embryo culture (a 5-6 day culture instead of the usual 2-3 days), the viability of the embryos can be analyzed before they are transferred into the uterus. This avoids transferring embryos that would probably not have had a possibility of developing further.
