چکیده
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a collection of different techniques designed to help those who are infertile achieve a successful pregnancy [4]. The most popular technology currently in use is in vitro [5] fertilization [6] (IVF), but others include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer [7] (ZIFT), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection [8] (ICSI). Although not encompassed under the umbrella term of ART, there are also various hormonal medications that can induce ovulation [9] such as clomiphene citrate [10] that can either be used alone to help women conceive, or used in conjunction with the above techniques. Infertility is a problem that has affected people throughout history, but it was only in the last half of the twentieth century that medical research developed technologies to help those who are infertile become pregnant.
