Assisted+Reproduction+Technology

= ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY = Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) is the term used to describe processes used to achieve pregnancy artificially or partly artificially. ART is used mainly in the areas of reproductive endocrinology (studies of the female hormone system) and to combat infertility. There are also types of manual ART that do not require In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). I will describe two methods of ART – one that requires IVF, and one that is considered manual: Cytoplasmic Transfer and Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer.
