What ART Actually Covers
Assisted Reproductive Technology is not one treatment. It is a range of options, and the right one depends on your specific fertility diagnosis.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation)
In IVF, eggs are collected and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. An embryo may then be transferred to the uterus, depending on the treatment plan. Suitability depends on the individual's assessment and clinical circumstances.
Learn MoreIUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
In intrauterine insemination (IUI), prepared sperm is placed into the uterus. It may be considered for selected fertility diagnoses; a specialist can explain whether it is appropriate based on the assessment.
Learn MoreICSI
A single sperm is injected directly into the egg. Used within an IVF cycle when male factor infertility is a significant part of the picture.
Learn MoreGenetic Testing (PGT)
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) involves testing embryos for specified genetic or chromosomal conditions. Whether it is appropriate depends on the clinical circumstances and should be discussed with a fertility specialist.
Learn MoreEgg & Sperm Donor Programme
Donor egg or sperm treatment may be considered in selected circumstances following clinical assessment. Eligibility, screening requirements, consent and applicable confidentiality arrangements should be explained by the fertility team.
