Zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer is considered an ART procedure which relies on the precision of your specialist. Once the doctor has determined that the eggs have reached full maturity, the woman will be given local anaesthetics and the eggs will be located by an ultrasound and removed from the ovaries with a needle. The eggs are then taken to a laboratory and will be fertilized with the male’s sperm, in vitro. About 24 hours later each of the fertilized eggs would have formed a ball of cells, known as the zygote which is the developing embryo.
The woman will then undergo minor surgery where the doctor makes a small incision in her stomach and places up to four zygotes into her fallopian tubes. In the event of the procedure proving to be unsuccessful, any extra zygotes will be frozen and kept safe for a second attempt. In 35% of woman successfully becoming pregnant via zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer gives birth to multiples. Not many couples opt for this ART procedure, so to find out more about the various types of artificial insemination contact us at Pregassist.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a procedure specially developed for infertile males. There is a wide variety of infertility treatments presented to infertile males, but this one has been proven to be quite successful. The procedure involves carefully selecting one live and healthy sperm and accurately placing it into the human egg. For this procedure to have proper effect it’s highly recommended that the female partner should take certain fertility drugs that will ultimately stimulate her ovaries making them more susceptible to produce several mature, healthy eggs.
The process is extremely delicate and makes use of medical instruments like inverted microscopes and ultrasounds. A tine hollow needle is used to pick up each sperm individually and then placed into the egg’s outer shell and its membrane. These eggs have a 75-80% chance of successfully becoming fertilized. The subject surrounding intracytoplasmic sperm injection is unbelievably intricate, so for more information on what the procedure includes, feel free to contact us at Pregassist. If you have any questions on fertility, conception and how to get pregnant don’t hesitate to get the answers you yearn for as soon as possible.

Testicular sperm extraction has shown to be very popular amongst men who have infertility problems. There are various reasons as to why certain men have infertility problems including the leading cause which is stress, the misuse of recreational drugs, hypogonadism, problems like erectile dysfunction, various infections and oligospermia. Testicular sperm extraction is a type of artificial insemination mainly for men who have trouble ejaculating at all or who are producing sperm with low mobility; these conditions are known as azoospermia and necrospermia.
The procedure involves extracting a strand of testicular tissue and is then placed in a culture medium. The technician will then inspect the sample in the attempt of finding viable and sustainable sperm. Even though the sample probably won’t contain enough sperm for intrauterine insemination (IUI), it usually has enough for intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
For more information on testiculas sperm extraction and all the other artificial insemination procedures feel free to contact an expert consultant from Pregassist today.

Cryopreservation is a process used in artificial insemination treatments where either the sperm, the unfertilized eggs or the embryo itself are frozen at very low temperatures in liquid nitrogen. The temperatures and certain precautions may vary depending on what it is you want to freeze and store;
• Freezing the sperm; once the sperm has been successfully collected from the donor, it is placed in a tube and stored at -80°C. This takes on average about 24 hours, and once it has been completely frozen it’s placed in another tube for long-term storage.
• Freezing an unfertilized egg; this process is still considered experimental since it has not yet been determined how much damage is inflicted upon the outer shell of the egg, nor are they certain the period which it’s allowed to be stored in order to still ensure a viable pregnancy.
• Freezing the embryo; the advantage of storing embryos is the fact that it provides a rather high success rate and can be stored for a considerable period of time. These embryos are only available to couples who are legally married and the cost of storage is surprisingly low.
The process of Cryopreservation is extremely interesting and also complicated. For more information on the different processes of artificial insemination, please feel free to contact the professional team from Pregassist.

Gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer is also an ART technique used to increase your chances of conception. In most cases this procedure is recommended to couples have had unexplained infertility problems and who have already tried all the other known infertility treatments. Gamete intra-fallopian tube transfer is the process of collecting the egg from the female either via natural ovulation or medically induced ovulation. They are combined with carefully prepared sperm and then replaced back at the far end of the fallopian tube. The egg will then hopefully run its natural course up to the uterus for natural implantation.
With this procedure as with zygote intra-fallopian tube transfer the chances of multiple births is a high possibility. Pregassist has the knowledge to assist and advice you any of the given artificial insemination processes and would urge you contact us if you have any questions.
