Fertility Treatment

Depending on needs, couples have a choice from the following fertility procedures:


1. Treatment with clomiphene citrate (fertility pill)

2. Treatment with hormone injections (usually Pergonal, Humegon, Fertinex, or Metrodin)
3. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), including In Vitro Fertilization (IVF, or "test tube baby") and related      treatments known as GIFT and ZIFT.
4. IVF with micromanipulation of sperm and eggs. These treatments include ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)      for severe male factor infertility and assisted hatching of embryos in some selected couples.

Treatments with clomiphene or with hormone injections work best when combined with intrauterine inseminations - the placement of washed sperm directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation.
No treatment is guaranteed to work first time; thus, it is not unusual for 3 to 6 months of treatment before pregnancy is achieved.
