Can fertility treatments be classified as hardship withdrawals and avoid the tax penalty for IRA early withdrawals?

Medical in excess of 7.5% 10% of AGI is an exclusion, and some fertility treatments count as medical. (Gah, we're back to 10% again.)

There exists no hardship exception for IRAs. That's a 401(k) exception, and what it lets you take is an in-service distribution subject to penalty.

Childbirth is an exception, too, but only up to $5,000:

I am pretty sure it is 7.5%, and that link is wrong.  Schedule A and its Instructions also show 7.5%.
