Artificial insemination is one of the most popular assisted reproduction treatments. It is a simple and minimally invasive technique that involves depositing sperm, previously capacitated in the laboratory, into the mother’s uterus during ovulation. The aim is for the egg and sperm to meet in order to increase the chances of pregnancy.

It is important to note that artificial insemination is not the same as in vitro fertilisation. In the first case, fertilisation takes place naturally inside the woman, in the fallopian tube, while in the second case, the egg is removed and fertilised in the laboratory, in vitro.
