Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT)
GIFT is the direct placement of eggs and sperm into the fallopian tube and is usually performed in cases of unexplained infertility.
Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) Information Packet |
The oocytes/eggs are removed from the woman's ovaries and the sperm is processed in the same manner as for IVF. The difference is that instead of allowing the oocytes to be fertilized in a petri dish, the sperm and up to 3 eggs are injected directly into the fallopian tube and allowed to fertilize there. Hormones are given for the next 2 weeks to help maintain a pregnancy. Any extra eggs may be fertilized in vitro (IVF), cryopreserved, or donated. The success rate with GIFT is approximately 30% depending on the age of the patient. |
