In vitro fertilization is a procedure used to bypass blocked or absent fallopian tubes. Tubal embryo transfer places the conceptus into the fallopian tube. Therapeutic insemination uses the partner's sperm or that of a donor and places it directly into the woman. Gamete intrafallopian transfer is when the sperm and ova are placed in the fallopian tube.
