- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) — Standard assisted reproductive technology combining ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer.
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) — IVF variant in which a single sperm is injected directly into each mature egg. Used for male-factor and prior fertilization failure.
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) — Placement of prepared sperm into the uterus around ovulation. Less invasive and less expensive than IVF.
- Egg Donation — Use of donor eggs in an IVF cycle. Often considered for diminished ovarian reserve or age-related decline.
- Embryo Cryopreservation — Freezing embryos for future transfer, genetic testing, or fertility preservation.
- Egg Freezing (Oocyte Cryopreservation) — Freezing unfertilized eggs to preserve fertility potential.
