Understanding the Language of Fertility

A simple guide to the terms you might hear along the way.

Fertility care can introduce a whole new vocabulary. This quick glossary breaks down some terms you’ll encounter during your appointments, lab results, or treatment plans. No need to memorize anything; we’re always here to explain. But if you want to feel more prepared during your visit, this is a great place to start.

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): A procedure that places sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation to improve chances of fertilization.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): A treatment where eggs are fertilized in a lab and then transferred into the uterus.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): A hormone that helps control the menstrual cycle and egg production.
Ovulation Induction: Medication used to stimulate the ovaries to release one or more eggs.
Hysterosalpingogram (HSG): An X-ray procedure to check if the fallopian tubes are open and the uterus is normal.
Cryopreservation: The process of freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos for future use.
Semen Analysis: A male fertility test that evaluates sperm count, movement, and shape.
