Abstract

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) has in many clinics become the preferred treatment for infertility in selected couples (1–4). The GIFT procedure presupposes optimal conditions for fertilization and early embryo growth. However, whether fertilization has occurred cannot be established unless pregnancy ensues. This problem arises especially in those cases where a low fertilization rate is to be expected as in couples with male factor. An alternative to GIFT would then be to undertake in vitro fertilization followed by embryo intrafallopian transfer (EIFT). We report here a pregnancy following transfer of 2–6-stage embryos to the Fallopian tubes.
