(the definition used by CDC is based on the 1992 Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act; ART includes all fertility treatments in which both eggs and embryos are handled. In general, ART procedures involve surgically removing eggs from a woman's ovaries, combining them with sperm in the laboratory, and returning them to the woman's body or donating them to another woman. They do NOT include treatments in which only sperm are handled (i.e., intrauterine--or artificial--insemination) or procedures in which a woman takes medicine only to stimulate egg production without the intention of having eggs retrieved) |
