If you are facing infertility
problems while trying for a child you need to know
what is assisted reproductive
technology (ART). It has given hope to thousands of people
who had problems with their fertility. It refers to the
techniques used where artificial means are used to
assist the process of pregnancy. Nowadays it’s very
common to come across couples who have found ART to be a
good option when things don’t seem to be going right for
them.
Although all assisted
reproductive technology (ART) methods help couples to
produce kids, they are very expensive and need to be
used only as the last option when any couple has a
fertility problem.
Some
of the important assisted reproductive technology (ART)
methods are as follows:
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI
): a single sperm is used in
this technique. It is placed with the help of a
microscopic needle in the egg of a woman. Once the egg
gets fertilized, the embryo is shifted in the woman’s
uterus.
In vitro fertilization (IVF
): this technique is known by most
people nowadays. The woman’s eggs are placed together
with her partner’s sperms in a dish. Once fertilization
is successful, the embryos are shifted in to the uterus.
The embryos are given a time period of 3-5 days to
develop before they are placed inside the
uterus.
Zygote intrafallopian transfer
(ZIFT
): this process is
quite similar to the GIFT process. But in this case the
medical expert will wait for fertilization to occur
before the embryos are placed inside a woman.
Gamete
intrafallopian transfer (GIFT): in this technique,
the eggs and the sperms are collectively combined in a
dish and then injected into the fallopian tubes with the
help of surgery. A laparoscope is used for this purpose.
The whole process of fertilization takes place in a
women’s body.
Donor egg or
embryo: this technique is useful if a woman cannot
use her eggs successfully. Another donor’s eggs are used
along with her partner’s sperms. It is then placed in
the uterus.
But you need to remember that assisted
reproductive technology (ART)
methods can cause
a lot of stress in a couple. Very often the woman who
faces a failure in such a type of technique goes into
major depression. Also such techniques cause tension as
they are very expensive. At times they are also known to
cause birth defects in the child produced. It’s much
simpler to use the holistic approach to produce a child.
