Assisted Reproductive Technology Services (ART)
ART involves various ways of manipulating the normal menstrual cycle, eggs and sperm to enhance the chances of becoming pregnant. CRE offers numerous state-of-the art ART services to overcome infertility. These services include in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET); Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT); and other related services such as donor egg and sperm programs, embryo cyropreservation and Micromanipulation.
In Vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET)
IVF-ET involves collecting a couple's eggs and sperm and placing them together in a laboratory dish to fertilize outside of the body. The fertilized eggs are then transferred into the women's uterus, or womb, where implantation and embryo development may occur.
Gamete intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)
GIFT is a variation of the IVF-ET procedure. Instead of fertilizing the eggs and sperm outside the body, a mixture of sperm and eggs (Gametes) are placed directly into the fallopian tubes where fertilization may take place.
