Understanding Fertility Treatment
IVF treatment can seem complicated at first. You may hear many different terms, abbreviations and descriptions of treatment pathways, and it can be difficult to understand how they all fit together.
These pages have been created to help you understand the different types of IVF cycles available, how treatment is organised into cycles, and what to expect if your treatment doesn’t go exactly according to plan.
This website focuses on IVF and its variants (e.g., PGT). The Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand has information about ovulation induction (OI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI).
