Medical procedures that help a couple or person conceive, including in vitro fertilization, intrauterine and artificial insemination, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, gamete and zygote intrafallopian transfer, embryo transfer, ovulation induction, ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, assisted hatching, mitochondrial replacement and surgery to restore the fallopian tubes. An entry belongs here when its own source describes treating infertility. Each member is a reproductive and fertility treatment entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.

Mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT), sometimes called mitochondrial donation, is the replacement of mitochondria in one or more cells to prevent or ameliorate disease.
Zygote intrafallopian transfer (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, Introduction
Zygote intra fallopian transfer (ZIFT) is an infertility treatment used when a blockage in the fallopian tubes prevents the normal binding of sperm to the egg.
Embryo transfer (Wikipedia)

Transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR), also referred to as oocyte retrieval (OCR), is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) in order to remove oocytes from an ovary, enabling fertilization outside the body.
Testicular sperm extraction (Wikipedia)
Has Member: Testicular Sperm Extraction, IntroductionQuote, Has Member: Testicular Sperm Extraction, Introduction
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) is a surgical procedure in which a small portion of tissue is removed from the testicle and any viable sperm cells from that tissue are extracted for use in further procedures, most commonly intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as part of in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
