- 3. IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) Process refers to the fertilization outside the body. Most effective and successful ART, IVF is most often recommended when fallopian tubes of woman are blocked or in case when men produce too few sperm. In this process, doctor prescribed drug that causes the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. When eggs are mature enough, they are removed through a surgical procedure and are put in a dish in the lab along with the sperm for fertilization. After 3 to 5 days, healthy embryos are then implanted in the woman’s uterus.
- 4. ICSI (Intra-cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Process is often used when there is serious problem with the sperm. Sometimes it is also used for those with failed IVF attempts or for older couples. In this process, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into a mature egg and then healthy embryo is transferred to the fallopian tube or woman’s uterus.
- 5. GIFT (Gamete Intra-fallopian transfer) In this process fertilization take place in woman’s body by transferring eggs and sperm into the woman’s fallopian tubes.
- 6. ZIFT (Zygote Intra-fallopian transfer) It is similar to IVF and fertilization occurs in the laboratory, then instead of the uterus, very young healthy embryo is transferred to the fallopian tubes.
- 7. Surrogacy Surrogacy is mainly considered for women with no eggs or unhealthy eggs. In this process, another woman carries pregnancy using the man’s sperm and her own eggs for an infertile woman. The child will be genetically related to the woman (surrogate mother of that child) and the male partner. After birth, the baby will be delivered to the intended couples for adoption and surrogate will have no right on the offspring.
