What Is GIFT?
GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer) is an assisted reproduction technique in which eggs and sperm are placed directly into the fallopian tube, allowing fertilisation to occur naturally inside the body. It is an option for selected couples with at least one healthy fallopian tube.
How GIFT Works
- Ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs
- Egg retrieval and immediate combination with prepared sperm
- Placement of eggs and sperm into the fallopian tube via laparoscopy
- Natural fertilisation inside the body
Who Is GIFT Suitable For?
- Couples with unexplained infertility
- At least one healthy, open fallopian tube
- Couples who prefer fertilisation to occur naturally
