Treatments commonly performed in a fertility clinic include: Surgery: Procedures repair reproductive parts that limit your ability to conceive or carry a child to term. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation: Medications are taken by mouth or injected to help your body ovulate. Intrauterine insemination (IUI): Sperm is placed directly inside your uterus. In vitro fertilization (IVF): Eggs and sperm are collected from you and a partner and combined in a laboratory to create an embryo that's transferred to your uterus. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection: A single sperm is injected into an egg to hopefully create an embryo that's inserted into your uterus.
