Doctors have various options at their disposal for treating fertility problems. Various factors influence the choice of therapy: the nature of the problem and the cause of reduced fertility (although this cannot always be established, by any means), age, the number of months or years a couple has been trying to conceive, etc.

Of course, the choice of therapy is always made in consultation with the couple in question. This treatment phase can be a difficult time, with many false starts. It requires a great deal of effort and often causes a much uncertainty and stress. We summarize the following specific fertility treatments below:

• Fertility surgery
• Hormonal stimulation of the ovary
• High intra-uterine insemination
• In vitro fertilization (IVF)
• Injection fertilisation (ICSI)
• Results of IVF and ICSI
• Sperm cells, ova and embryos from a donor
