New Reproductive Technologies and Infertility

If you’ve found the cause of your infertility, and you’ve been told that it cannot be reversed or treated successfully, then you may be a candidate for assisted reproductive technology (ART), sometimes referred to as assisted conception.ART is also known as NRT, which stands for new reproductive technologies.

In this article, In this article I will use the more common term ART to refer to this process as it is the most common known and used term for this procedure .   Couples with unexplained infertility and gay and lesbian couples are ideal patients for many ART procedures.

Until 1978, couples who couldn’t conceive had two choices: adoption or childfree living.  In 1978, the first “test-tube” baby, Louise Brown, was born. Since then, thousands of children have been born worldwide as a result of reproductive technologies that assist couples in the conception process .

We now live in an era in which the term family planning has taken on a futuristic dimension.  However, the technology of many of these procedures is by no means a perfected science.  There is a high degree of trial and error involved and a very high failure rate as a result.  As of 2010, evidence also indicates that test tube babies may have more problems in the future than those born naturally. 

Although ART is an option for many couples who cannot conceive, it is not the only solution to infertility.  ART is extremely costly, has a low rate of success and can be very invasive.

Before you and your partner look into ART, it’s important to examine all the other alternatives.  Seeking the services of a good counsellor or therapist is often helpful when you’re making this decision; it’s difficult to be objective and realistic when you want a child so badly.

And although you may successfully conceive through ART, the risk of miscarriage is high and the rates of successful births are low. You must weight the risks of ART against other methods for fertility. You’ll have to gauge whether you’re strong enough to weather not only the disappointment and pain of infertility, but also the added anxiety of a high-risk pregnancy or the grief of potentially losing a pregnancy that you worked so hard to achieve.
