Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT)

ZIFT on Deliver Me

Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is a procedure whereby embryos are placed directly into the fallopian tube. This allows embryos to develop in their most natural environment, as opposed to the artificial environment of the IVF laboratory. ZIFT is especially helpful for women over 40 years of age. We recently presented our ZIFT findings at the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society meeting demonstrating pregnancy rates over 50% in this group. Please see the following segment from Discovery Health’s show Deliver Me featuring Dr. Yvonne Bohn’s successful ZIFT. Dr. Bohn is a Board-Certified gynecologist and one of the show’s stars.

Multiple pregnancies seem to be the topic of the day. Twins represent the majority of multiple pregnancies. The chance of having twins naturally is approximately 1%. Most twins are fraternal (non-identical) meaning that they each came from one egg. Fraternal twinning appears to have a genetic basis since twins tend to occur repetitively in certain families and have increased incidences in certain ethnic groups. Naturally occurring fraternal twins occur when a woman ovulates at least two eggs and both are fertilized. Usually, women ovulate one egg each month.
