Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)

Common types of ART include in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), frozen embryo transfer (FET), and the use of donor eggs or sperm.

Success rates vary due to factors like age and infertility. In vitro fertilization (IVF), typically shows a 20-35% success rate per cycle, which can be higher or lower depending on the situation. Frozen embryo transfer (FET) often has slightly higher success rates than fresh transfers.

Risks include multiple births, which can lead to complications such as premature labor; ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) from ovulation drugs; ectopic pregnancies where the embryo implants outside the uterus; emotional and psychological stress; and a slightly increased risk of birth defects compared to the general population.
