Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT)

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) is a fertility procedure where eggs and sperm are collected from a woman and combined in a laboratory. Instead of fertilization happening outside the body like in IVF, the mixture is then placed directly into a woman's fallopian tubes using a thin tube. From there, fertilization can occur naturally within the reproductive system. GIFT is typically considered when other treatments haven't been successful and is suitable for women with healthy fallopian tubes. It allows fertilization to happen naturally inside the body, offering an alternative option for couples trying to conceive.
