The dictionary gives me artificial insemination. As this is a comedy film and I do not have much space, could I say IVF treatment?

IVF - in-vitro fertilisation

artificial fertilisation/artificial insemination (in context)
Since it is a comedy film, and I found myself looking up IVF to find out what it was when reading the newspaper the other day, I would avoid mysterious, initials and put what is going to be most easily understood by the widest audience.
