Yes, Kate Gosselin is extremely forthcoming about their fertility struggles for both pregnancies. Details are in the book 'Multiple Blessings', on the family reality TV show 'Jon & Kate Plus 8', and in the many interviews Ms. Gosselin has given to magazines.

Yes. Kate Gosselin underwent InterUterine Insemination (IUI) to get pregnant. In that case the man's semen is delivered directly into the uterus via a catheter.

In this case, no eggs are removed, processed and transferred. That is part of a more complicated procedure InVitro Fertilization (IVF).

From the Gosselin 10 website (sixgosselins.com):

Just wondering if the fertility treatment you used was IUI. We went through the same and also IVF but were unsuccessful. Thanks.

Yes, we used IUI, which is very different from IVF. IUI is intrauterine insemination where you take meds, are monitored via ultrasound and then your husband?�s contribution is placed via catheter. There are no eggs ?�removed??or ?�put back??as with IVF. So, we were truly unaware that there were 7 possible babies in there on the day that our procedure was done?�or I can assure you, we would not have gone through with it!! (We were told that there were 3 with a possibility of 4 which was, by my doctor, considered excellent to proceed.)

Kate Gosselin discussed her struggler with infertility in her first book Multiple Blessings."

According to Ms Gosselin she has PCOS which makes it difficult to get pregnant. While she did not get into the specifics, fertility drugs are a major part of IUI treatments for fertility.

No Kate Gosselin did not have IVF.

In some wiki contributors opinions:

Kate Gosselin used drugs and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)Kate used Clomid and Intrauterine Insemination (they inject semen into her cervix) with both pregnancies. But, when she went to get pregnant with the sextuplets, her ovaries became overstimulated with the Clomid and she had 8 ripe follicles. The doctors refused to inseminate her and hospitalized her. Apparently the doctors orders did not matter to Kate and she had sex with Jon anyway and she was diagnosed pregnant 5 weeks later.

The Gosselin family website from 2008 had a section titled OUR STORY which referenced the overstimulated ovary hospitalization and the fact that she was diagnosed pregnant a mere 5 weeks after the over-stimulation.

Some observers highlight that several times on 'Jon and Kate Plus 8' Kate talked about being diagnosed pregnant with sextuplets and and Jon's thigh and says, "You're not mad at me are you Honey?" An inference can be had that she had sex with him in an overstimulated state and kinda tricked him to get her pregnant.
