Answer:
Zygote intrafallopian transfer.
Explanation:
Zygote intrafallopian transfer is an invasive fertility treatment which involves a procedure whereby a woman's eggs are fertilized in the laboratory by sperm before being placed inside the woman's fallopian tubes. The fertilized eggs are also known as zygotes.
Due to how invasive the procedure is, it is done when other treatment options like artificial insemination have been unsuccessful or in cases of ovarian problems and low sperm count.
The steps in ZIFT include;
A) Stimulation of the ovaries to induce the development of mature eggs.
B) Retrieval of up to 8 - 15 follicles by the use of ultrasound scan
C)The fertilization of the eggs in the laboratory is done by an embryologist.
D) After fertilization, a minor surgery is done to laparocopically transfer one to five zygotes into the fallopian tube.
E) On successful transfer, the zygote moves through the fallopian tube to implant in the uterus.
F) Pregnancy test is carried out after two weeks to confirm pregnancy status.
