 Donor Eggs
 Surrogacy
 Donor Embryos
 Reproductive Surgery

 Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)

8. What is In-Vitro Fertilization?
 An Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) which is also referred to as IVF.
 It is a procedure where the eggs are extracted and sperms are retrieved and t
hen are combined in a laboratory.
 Afterwards the embryo(s) are transferred to the uterus.
 Other forms of ART include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), and zygote i
ntrafallopian transfer (ZIFT).

9. How is IVF Useful?
IVF is helpful to treat the following-
 To treat damaged or blocked fallopian tube.
 To treat the factors influencing male infertility like decreased sperm count or s
perm motility.
 To treat ovulation disorders in women, to correct ovarian failure and uterine fib

4. Process of insemination (Sperms and eggs are mixed together to store in a
laboratory dish to allow fertilization)
5. Transfer of embryo to would-be mother’s uterus

12. Developing understanding of common laboratory techn
iques undertaken in the process of IVF
1. Egg Retrieval
It is a minor surgical procedure where the doctor extracts eggs from the follicl
es (a small secretory cavity) of the ovaries.

13. 2. Sperms Extraction
 Extraction of sperms from male donor which are further used to fertilize with th
e extracted eggs of the female.
 Previously donor insemination was called Artificial Insemination.

14. 3.Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
 In the process of Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), single sperm is fert
ilized with an egg to activate fertilization.
 It is performed with a special equipment in the embryology laboratory.

15. 4. Assisted Hatching
 A laser or chemical solution.
 It is used on the embryo to increase the chances that embryo will implant in th
e lining of the uterus which is also called as endometrium.

16. 5. Embryo Transfer
Embryos, the embryo transfer fertilized eggs are placed into woman’s uterus or fal
lopian tube through the cervix.

17. 6. Embryo Cryopreservation
 At a very cold temperature the embryo is frozen.
 The preserved embryos can be used in future.

18. 7. Embryo Development
 When the successful fertilization of sperm and eggs take place, an embryo sta
rts to grow.
 Once the embryo is 2 to 3 days old or is at cleavage stage which is 5 to 6 day
s, that is called ‘blastocyst.’

19. How Successful Is In-vitro Fertilization?
 For the women under age 35 = 41 to 43%
 For the women between age group 35 to 37 =33 to 36%
 For the women between age group 38 to 40=23 to 27%
 For the women between over 40 year old =13 to 18%
