D
Feedback:
Elective single-embryo transfer (eSET) uses one selected embryo from collected fresh or cryopreserved (frozen) embryos. The one embryo is placed in the uterus or fallopian tube. The eSET procedure helps women to avoid the risks of multiple pregnancies (two or more children born at the same time). Gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) transfers the unfertilized eggs and sperm directly into the fallopian tubes via an abdominal laparoscopic procedure. Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) uses eggs (zygotes) that have been fertilized in a laboratory and are transferred via laparoscope into the woman's fallopian tubes. Artificial insemination is not a form of ART because it does not involve a transfer of eggs.
