There are several alternatives for couples seeking an alternative to IVF treatment.
While no one procedure guarantees success, the following assisted reproductive technologies can also aide infertile couples in gaining a successful pregnancy outcome.
Gamete Interfallopian transfer or GIFT is similar to the IVF treatment process.
In GIFT treatment the fertilization of the patient egg takes place in fallopian tubes.
It is a closer procedure to natural pregnancy fertilization.
ZIFT stands for Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer.
Treatment fertilization occurs outside the body, the fertilized embryo is then placed into the patient's fallopian tubes rather then the uterus as in regular IVF treatment.
Another IVF alternative medical procedure is Tubal embryo transfer (TET).
Similar to the ZIFT process, TET allows embryos to be transferred back into the patient at a later stage of development.
Surrogacy is a non-direct medical alternative to traditional IVF treatment.
Surrogacy comes in two forms.
In the first, Traditional surrogacy a woman agrees to be artificially inseminated with donor sperm and carries the baby to term.
The surrogate female is directly related to the baby, its mother.
Gestational surrogacy involves implantation of both sperm and egg from the patient and their partner into the surrogate and the child is then carried to term.
The surrogate is not related to the child as it is direct offspring of the patient and their partner.
These methods can be discussed with qualified medical staff.
While at times costly, IVF alternatives provide infertile couples with expanded chances to realize their goal of parenthood.
They are welcome chances to experience the hopes and dreams that these couples seek.
