Creating Your Family Faster, Easier, and Less Expensively Through Fertility Treatments

If you're struggling to conceive, you're not alone. Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples in the United States. And while it can be a frustrating and challenging experience, it's important to know that there are many fertility treatments available that can help you create your family.

Fertility treatments can help you conceive in a number of ways. Some treatments, such as ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI),help you to ovulate more regularly and increase your chances of getting pregnant. Other treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI),involve fertilizing an egg in the laboratory and then transferring it to your uterus.
