Modified forms of in vitro fertilization<\/a> include GIFT (gamete intrafallopian transfer) and ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer). These procedures, like in IVF, are centered on harvesting or retrieving an egg<\/a> from an already prepared woman, combining the egg with sperm in order to achieve fertilization, and later transferring the embryo back to the uterus. The difference is that while in traditional IVF procedures, the embryos are observed and raised in the laboratory for 3-5 days, in the ZIFT procedure the fertilized eggs, referred to at that point as the zygote, are placed in the fallopian tubes after only 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In GIFT, the sperm and eggs are just mixed together before being inserted into the fallopian tube, and it is expected that fertilization will occur in the tubes. The procedures are modified for women who haven\u2019t been able to get pregnant after successive IVF cycles. The idea behind the procedures is to reproduce the natural process of conception in order to maximize the woman\u2019s chances of getting pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In ZIFT, the eggs are placed in the fallopian tubes rather than directly into the uterus. In GIFT, fertilization takes place inside the body of the woman rather than in the laboratory. The main drawback of this procedure, however, is that they require surgery, while the IVF procedure does not. This makes the IVF process to be preferred in clinics, especially as further progress is made in refining the procedure. The IVF procedure is widely used and accounts for over 97% of all assisted reproductive technology procedures, while the GIFT and ZIFT processes make up less than 3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
