Zygote Intra-Fallopian Transfer (ZIFT) As in IVF, the zygote upto blastomere stage is transferred to the fallopian tube by laparoscopy. The zygote continues its natural divisions and migrates towards the uterus where it gets implanted. Reproductive Health Intra Uterine Transfer (IUT) Embryo with more than blastomeres is inserted into uterus to complete its further development. Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) Transfer of an ovum collected from a donor into the fallopian tube. In this the eggs are collected from the ovaries and placed with the sperms in one of the fallopian tubes. The zygote travels toward the uterus and gets implanted in the inner lining of the uterus. Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) In this method only one sperm is injected into the focal point of the egg to fertilize. The sperm is carefully injected into the cytoplasm of the egg. Fertilization occurs in - % of eggs injected with the sperms. The zygote is allowed to divide to form an celled blastomere and then transferred to the uterus to develop a protective pregnancy. Surrogacy Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction or agreement whereby a woman agrees to carry a pregnancy for another person, who will become the newborn child's parent after birth. Through in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryos are created in a lab and are transferred into the surrogate mother's uterus.
