ZIFT

ZIFT, or Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, is a fertility procedure where fertilized eggs are placed directly into a woman’s fallopian tubes. Unlike IVF, which involves creating embryos outside the body and then transferring them into the uterus, ZIFT involves fertilizing the egg in the lab and then surgically inserting the resulting zygote into the fallopian tube. This approach allows fertilization to happen naturally within the reproductive system’s environment, potentially increasing chances of conception for some couples. It is typically used when other fertility treatments have not been successful or when there are specific tubal issues.
