About Fertility Treatments

Sometimes it is difficult for a female to become pregnant. This can happen when either the male or the female has 'fertility issues'.
There are some fertility treatments which can help improve the chance of conception.
In in vitro fertilisation the sperm and ovum are combined in a petri dish before being placed into the uterus.
