                                               ZIFT 

Zygote Intra Fallopian Transfer is a type of assisted reproductive technology used to treat infertility problems in many women. The zygote is prepared in a laboratory and then placed into the Fallopian tube of a woman by a minor surgery called laparoscopy. This technique is also known as Tubal Embryo Transfer.                      

       

• ZIFT is very useful in the following cases - 
• Infertility Problem.                                    
•  low sperm count 
•  irregular periods  

Procedure -   It will take around five to six weeks for each cycle of ZIFT to complete the procedure. IVF & GIFT also has a similar procedure just like ZIFT but the only difference is that here the zygote is directly transferred into the fallopian tube of a woman through a minor surgery called Laparoscopy.

Let's see the step-by-step procedure for successful ZIFT.

• The ovary of the female is stimulated by medication so that the chances of getting multiple eggs are increased.
  
  
• In the meanwhile, you have to consult the doctor so that the progress of the follicles can be checked through ultrasound.
   
• The eggs are then collected through an aspiration method.
  
  
• These eggs are then combined with your spouse's sperm in the laboratory and monitored for fertilization. After fertilization,  a single-cell zygote is formed. 

• Afterward, the doctors perform surgery in the abdomen area of a female,  and the zygote is inserted into the fallopian tube through a laparoscope.
  
  
• If the transfer is successful then the chances of becoming pregnant are increases.
  
  
• The final step is to check the pregnancy for which the doctor performs a blood test and determines if pregnancy occurred or not .
