What is Infertility? Infertility is the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. Affects approximately 10-15% of couples globally. Infertility can affect either or both partners. Reference: World Health Organization (WHO). (2021). Infertility Overview. Retrieved from www.who.int.
Slide 4-

Types of Infertility Primary Infertility: Never been able to conceive. Secondary Infertility: Difficulty conceiving after a previous pregnancy. Infertility can stem from male, female, or combined factors. Reference: American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). (2021). Classification of Infertility. Retrieved from www.asrm.org.
Slide 5-

Causes of Infertility in Men and Women Male Causes: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, and abnormal sperm morphology. Hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol). Female Causes: Ovulation disorders (e.g., PCOS). Blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, uterine issues. Age and hormonal factors. Reference: National Institutes of Health (NIH). (2021). Causes of Infertility in Men and Women. Retrieved from www.nih.gov.
Slide 6-

Diagnostic Tests for Infertility For Women: Ovulation Testing: Hormone level testing, basal body temperature. Ultrasound and Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): Checks for blocked tubes. For Men: Semen Analysis: Checks sperm count, motility, and morphology. Hormone Testing: Measures testosterone and other hormones. Reference: Mayo Clinic. (2021). Infertility Diagnosis. Retrieved from www.mayoclinic.org.
Slide 7-

What is Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)? ART includes medical procedures to assist in conception. Common techniques include Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). ART has advanced over the years and offers hope for couples struggling with infertility. Reference: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). (2021). Assisted Reproductive Technology. Retrieved from www.cdc.gov.
Slide 8-

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) IUI involves placing sperm directly into a woman’s uterus around the time of ovulation. Used for mild male infertility, cervical issues, or unexplained infertility. Less invasive and less costly compared to IVF. Reference: American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). (2021). Overview of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). Retrieved from www.acog.org.
Slide 9-

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) IVF involves fertilizing an egg with sperm in a lab, then transferring the embryo to the uterus. Steps include ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer. IVF success rates vary based on age, health, and other factors. Reference: Fertility and Sterility. (2020). In Vitro Fertilization Techniques and Outcomes. Retrieved from www.fertstert.org.
Slide 10-

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) ICSI is a specialized form of IVF where a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. Used in cases of severe male infertility (low sperm count or motility). Allows for fertilization even when sperm quality is poor. Reference: Reproductive BioMedicine Online. (2021). ICSI: A Revolution in Male Infertility Treatment. Retrieved from www.rbmojournal.com.
Slide 11-

ART Success Rates and Influencing Factors Success rates vary based on age, cause of infertility, and specific ART method. For IVF, success is generally higher in younger women and declines with age. Lifestyle factors (smoking, BMI) and overall health impact outcomes. Reference: Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). (2021). ART Success Rates and Factors. Retrieved from www.sart.org.
Slide 12-

Risks and Considerations of ART Multiple Pregnancies: Higher risk with ART, especially with IVF. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Caused by hormone medications used in IVF. Ethical and Financial Considerations: ART can be costly, and ethical concerns may arise. Reference: National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). (2021). Guidelines on Risks of ART. Retrieved from www.nice.org.uk.
Slide 13-

Emotional and Psychological Support Infertility and ART can be emotionally taxing for couples. Counseling and support groups can provide emotional support. Stress reduction techniques like meditation, therapy, and support networks are helpful. Reference: American Psychological Association (APA). (2020). Mental Health and Infertility. Retrieved from www.apa.org.
Slide 14-

The Future of ART Advancements in genetic screening, embryo selection, and minimally invasive techniques. Emerging options like genetic editing and artificial gametes. Research is ongoing to improve success rates, affordability, and accessibility of ART. Reference: Reproductive Medicine Online. (2021). Future Directions in ART. Retrieved from www.rbmojournal.com.

Key Takeaways
Slide 16-

Infertility is a common issue with various causes. ART offers effective solutions, including IUI, IVF, and ICSI. Success depends on multiple factors, and emotional support is essential. Continuous advancements in ART are making infertility treatment more accessible.
