  3. zygote intrafallopian transfer
22
Q

what is the process for IVT-ET

A

ova & sperm are extracted and fertilized in a test tube, wait for cell division, when morulas become embryos, they’re implanted in the uterine cavity

  1. laparoscopy
  2. US guided retrieval
24
Q

  • immunologic infertility
  • unexplained infertility for > 2 years
26
Q

what is ZIFT?

A

zygote intrafallopian transfer
extract sperm & ova to fertilize in laparscopy dish & wait for zygote

Q

what is internal transmigration?

A

fertilized ovum migrates across the uterus to implant into opposite FT

35
Q

what is external migration?

A

fertilization occurs in cul de sac, then fimbrae from opposite FT picks up fertilized ovum & implants in opposite FT

36
Q

what proves transmigration occured?
