What methods of in vitro fertilization exist today

Currently, there are the following methods of artificial fertilization:

• Intrauterine insemination by the sperm of her husband (IMS);
• Intrauterine insemination with donor sperm (ISD);
• intratubarny transfer of gametes (GIFT);
• intratubarny transfer of zygotes (zefta);
• a method of in vitro fertilization (IVF);
• a method of in vitro fertilization with donor eggs (IVF OD);
• the method of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Each of these methods has its indications and contraindications, but in general, the modern woman has to choose from.

Intrauterine insemination by the sperm of husband or donor

Intrauterine insemination by the husband's sperm (IMS) is produced by reducing the fertilizing capacity of sperm a man or in the event that it is established that pregnancy prevents the mucus in the cervix, which damages the sperm. Before the procedure, the couple fully examined: a woman should be healthy, and the man in the sperm must be sperm. After semen collection held its enrichment using special techniques and only after that the sperm is injected directly into a woman's uterus, bypassing the cervix. Approximately a quarter of pregnant women.

But there are cases of male infertility and absolute, when the sperm of her husband does not contain viable sperm. In these cases (with the consent of both spouses), donor sperm is introduced, and the procedure is called ISD. When IUD pregnancy occurs more frequently than in IMS, about half of the cases.

Intratubarny transfer of gametes and zygotes

Intratubarny transfer of gametes or GIFT (GIFT-gamete intrafallopian transfer) - a method in which, first with a puncture (puncture) is obtained follicles ova, which are in the ovary, connect them in a test tube with sperm, and using a special apparatus laparoscope is transferred into the fallopian tubes (sometimes instead of laparoscopy is performed under the supervision of a puncture of the ultrasonic beam), after which the pregnancy occurs in a natural way.

Apply GIFT is when there is an obstacle that prevents the mature egg to get into the fallopian tube, it can be a variety of inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and so on), but the pipe (or even one) must be passable, and the sperm of her husband - a full-fledged .

Intratubarny transfer or zefta zygotes (ZIFT-zigote intrafallopian transfer) - Equipment of the same, but the difference lies in the fact that the first egg fertilized in a test tube, and then a few embryos (zygote) is inserted into the fallopian tube. Indications are the same, but the method can be used in case of partial (enrichment husband's sperm special methods) or full (with donor sperm) male infertility.

When methods GIFT zefta and about a third of pregnant women.
