Describe two different methods of helping infertile couples

In vitro fertilization involves extracting ripened ova from a woman and introducing them to a man's sperm in a laboratory dish. Following fertilization, the fertilized ovum is then injected into the woman's uterus. In some cases, the ova are actually from a donor, if the woman is unable to release her own viable eggs. Surrogate mothers are also used by some infertile couples. The surrogate mother may either use her own ova or those of another woman and the sperm of the biological father or another donor and then carry the resulting baby to term. Surrogate mothers are often compensated for their time and effort.
