When trying to conceive, you may feel like you can do everything independently. However, there are certain situations when it is best to see an infertility specialist. The specialist will be in a position to advise you on the best way to move forward and help you increase your chances of success. Additionally, you will learn about any available Murray Hill infertility treatment you can take advantage of.
There are various infertility treatments, such as:
- IUI (Intrauterine insemination): This is a process whereby sperm is injected directly into the woman’s uterus using a catheter. IUI is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility or when the male has a low sperm count.
- IVF (In vitro fertilization): This is a process whereby eggs are retrieved from the woman and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. The embryos are then transferred back into the woman’s uterus. IVF is often recommended for couples trying to conceive for several years without success or when the female has blocked Fallopian tubes.
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection): This is a process whereby a single sperm is injected into an egg in a laboratory. ICSI is often used in cases of male infertility or when the male has a low sperm count.
