Do you want a baby and are having difficulty conceiving? Thinking about fertility treatments? You have plenty of options, and not all of them have to be outrageously expensive, as they are in the U.S. Add to that the problem that many health care insurance companies do not reimburse for fertility treatment expenses, and you may feel as if there’s no hope for your dreams of building a family. Fertility treatment abroad in locations like Thailand, Turkey, India and Mexico is affordable.

However, a number of fertility treatments abroad may provide the answer you’re looking for. Facilities in Argentina offer several  IVF methods and treatments, while several fertility clinics in Turkey specialize in IVF, ICSI, PGD, IVM and Ovarian Cortex Freezing methods. Specialists in laparoscopic surgery for  conditions that might reduce your fertility levels can be found in Jordan.

Get to know your fertility terminology, to help you find the right provider and right treatment for your needs. For example, intrauterine insemination (IUI) is also known as artificial insemination.  This method requires women to take fertility drugs to stimulate multiple egg development.  The insemination part involves the insertion of sperm from the male partner into the uterus.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a technique to assist reproduction. This occurs when a woman’s egg and a man’s sperm are ‘united’ in a laboratory dish. After fertilization, the embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a common fertility treatment for couples dealing with low sperm count or poor sperm quality. Sperm is injected directly into a mature egg.
