AI overview

I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate overview. The context provided ("pregnancy through in vivo fertilization") is too vague and doesn't contain enough specific information about artificial insemination to create a reliable 2-sentence explanation. I would need more detailed source material to avoid inventing facts.

Encyclopedic overview

Artificial insemination is the deliberate introduction of sperm into the cervix or uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy through in vivo fertilization by means other than sexual intercourse. It is a fertility treatment for humans, and is a common practice in animal breeding, including cattle (see frozen bovine semen) and pigs.

Artificial insemination may employ assisted reproductive technology, sperm donation and animal husbandry techniques. Artificial insemination techniques available include intracervical insemination (ICI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Where gametes from a third party are used, the procedure may be known as 'assisted insemination'.
