• Major Infertility Causes 

There are numerous reasons why people face difficulties when making efforts to produce a baby. Infertility is not just a woman's problem as a third of cases are due to male fertility problems, e.g. low sperm count. There are also many other factors that can hinder conception including being over or under-weight. Also, not to mention, female fertility declines with age. 

A blocked or damaged fallopian tube can also prevent a pregnancy occurring naturally, as the eggs cannot travel down the tube to meet the sperm. A popular form of fertility treatment help combat this, and other problems, is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

• IVF

IVF treatment continues to rise with recent figures showing over 44,000 treatments taking place in 2006. The procedure involves fertilizing the egg in a laboratory by putting the sperm and egg together in a small disposable dish. Once the embryos have formed, they are then placed inside the womb between two and five days later, in the hope of achieving a pregnancy. 

The success rate of this technique is increasing year by year; with recent figures showing that the number of births has increased by more than a thousand compared to the previous year to over 11,000.IVF is just one of the many treatments carried out at fertility clinics. Other fertility treatments vary depending on the person's needs.

• Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

IUI or artificial insemination is one of the least invasive treatments and is less expensive than IVF. This involves placing the sperm inside the woman's uterus using a fine catheter. The procedure is undertaken after the egg is released, either in a natural or stimulated cycle. 

• Egg Donation

Egg donation is a well-established form of fertility treatment, which utilizes donated eggs giving hope to many women who are under the impression that they would never become pregnant. This procedure is recommended for women suffering from premature menopause, those suffering from pelvic infection or endometriosis including women who were born without functioning ovaries such as those with Turner's syndrome. 

• Gestational Surrogacy

In gestational surrogacy (also called the Host method) a wannabe surrogate mother becomes pregnant as a result of transferring embryo into her womb. In general, the biological mother is a different woman. She may have made an agreement to give it up to the biological mother or father to raise the child or to a parent who is not related to the child. This is done for a child that is conceived through egg donation, sperm donation or donated embryo. The surrogate mother is referred to as the gestational carrier.
