What happens in IVF if there is a physical obstruction?
The ovum doesn’t successfully transfer to the site of fertilization and the zygote can’t successfully travel to the endometrial cavity
Steps of IVF?
- Egg production is stimulated by hormone therapy
- Eggs retrieved from the ovary
- Sperm sample is provided
- Eggs and sperm combined to allow fertilization to occur
- Fertilized eggs introduced into the uterus
What is controlled ovarian hyperstimulation followed by follicular aspiration be followed by? (4)
- Cryopreservation
- Embryo Transfer
- ET - Gamete Intra-fallopian Transfer
- GIFT - Zygote Intra-fallopian Transfer
- ZIFT
Embryo Transfer
3-5 days of growth in lab before transferring
Zygote Intra-fallopian Transfer
The fertilized eggs (zygotes) are placed in the fallopian tubes within 24 hours of fertilization
Gamete Intra-fallopian Transfer
The sperm and eggs are mixed together before being inserted and, with luck, one of the eggs will become fertilized inside the fallopian tubes
What 2 IVF methods are closer to natural conception?
- GIFT
2. ZIFT
Where is the fertilized egg placed in ZIFT?
Fallopian tubes
Where does fertilization take place with GIFT?
In the body
- not in the dish
