Baby planning time - Assisted conception
ASSISTED CONCEPTION
Assisted conception is used when you have been trying
for several years without
success and all tests suggest that you will not be able to
conceive normally. It may be carried out in the following
ways:
- IVF (In vitro fertilisation) where the eggs
are removed and fertilised by the sperm. The resulting
embryos are put back into the womb.
- GIFT (Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer): Sperm
and egg are fertilised externally and then injected into
the fallopian tube.
- ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection):
using this technique, sperm are injected directly into
the egg.
