These eggs are then retrieved and combined with sperm outside of the woman's body. However, in the GIFT procedure the eggs are fertilized within the woman's body. By way of laparoscopy, the eggs are removed from the ovaries and placed immediately into the fallopian tubes along with prepared sperm. The resulting fertilized egg then descends into the uterus to continue its normal development. The embryo is returned to the woman's body with very little need for medication.
Babies born after embryo cryopreservation are just as healthy as babies conceived spontaneously.
Using this technique a single sperm is inserted into a mature egg obtained from an ovary of a woman undergoing in vitro fertilization . ICSI is the treatment of choice for couples who have experienced previous IVF failures. The fertilized egg then develops into a normal embryo. Babies born after intracytoplasmatic sperm injection are just as healthy as babies conceived spontaneously. This technique has traditionally been used for women with anovulation or oligo-ovulation.
