IUI (Intra–Uterine Insemination): This involves injecting the man’s sperm into the woman’s uterus on the day that the female ovulates. The fertilization success depends on the quality of the egg and sperm during that cycle.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): The healthiest sperm is selected to combine a suitably-matured egg in the laboratory.

IVF (In-vitro Fertilization): About 20,000 of the man’s sperms are combined with an egg, allowing the strongest sperm to fertilize the egg naturally.
