ABSTRACT
Infertility is a medical condition that affects many aspects of human life. It affects one’s relationship with one’s self and consequently influences one’s identity as a mother or father. Individuals who resort to assisted reproductive technology (ART) methods experience emotional, physical, social, and financial hardships, which in turn impact their families. In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process in which an egg is fertilised outside the body. It was first implemented in 1978 and has since increased in use dramatically. For women who have circumstances such as premature ovarian failure, advanced age, lower ovarian reserve, autoimmune disease, failed IVF, or concerns about genetically transmitted diseases, donor egg IVF may be considered. Some men must confront their own infertility issues like their female counterparts. In approximately forty per cent of infertile couples, the male partner is either the sole or a contributing cause of infertility. Male infertility may be related to the volume or amount, motility, and morphology of the sperm.
