Gamete+Intrafallopian+Transfer

=** Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer: **=

Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is an implement of __Assisted Reproductive Technology__ against infertility. The eggs are taken out from the woman's ovaries, and placed in one of the Fallopian Tubes, with the man's sperm. This technique was pioneered by endocrinologist Ricardo Asch. The process of GIFT allows fertilization to take place inside the woman's uterus.

GIFT is an assisted reproductive technologny in which egg cells are removed from a womans ovaries. It is then combined with sperm cells, to produce a mixture of sperm and eggs. The mixture is then injected into the womans fallopian tubes, so that fertilization may take place within the female parents body. The process is different from in vitro fertilization, because an embryo is not produced outside of the female participants body. It's success depends on the couple's age, as well as the woman's egg quality. It is estimated that approximately 25-30% of GIFT cycles result in pregnancy, which is a fairly low percentage.
