|
GIFT
|
Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer - Retrieval of oocytes by laparoscopy; immediately combining oocytes with washed, motile sperm in a catheter; and placement of the gametes into the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube.
|
|
|
GTT
|
Glucose Tolerance Test
|
|
|
IVF
|
In Vitro Fertilization - A Procedure during which oocytes are removed from the ovary, mixed with spermatozoa, fertilized, and incubated in a glass petri dish; then up to four viable embryos are placed in the woman's uterus.
|
|
|
Karyotype
|
The set of chromosomes arranged in a standard order.
|
|
|
L/S Ratio
|
Lecithin to Sphingomyelin Ratio - Phospholipid components of surfactant; their ration changes during gestation. When the L/S ratio reaches 2:1, the fetal lungs are thought to be mature and the fetus will have a low risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) if born at that time.
|
|
|
NST
|
Non Stress Test - An assessment method by which the reaction (or response) of the fetal heart rate to fetal movement is evaluated.
|
|
|
OGTT
|
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
|
|
|
AFP
|
Alpha-fetoprotein test - A fetal protein produced in the yold sac for the first 6 weeks of gestation and then by the fetal liver.
|
|
|
Amniocentesis
|
Removal of amniotic fluid by insertion of a needle into the amniotic sac; amniotic fluid is used to assess fetal health or maturity.
|
|
|
BBT
|
Basal body temperature
|
|
|
BBP
|
Biophysical Profile - Assessment of five variable in the fetus that help to evaluate fetal risk; breathing movement, body movement, tone, amniotic fluid volume, and fetal heart rate reactivity.
|
|
|
CVS
|
Chorionic villus sampling
|
|
|
CST
|
Contraction stress test
|
|
|
Doppler blood flow analysis

|
Endometrial biopsy
|
A biopsy of the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the uterus.
|
|
|
HSG
|
Hysterosalpingogram - Testing by instillation of radiopaque substance into the uterine cavity to visulize the uterus & fallopian tubes.
|
|
|
PG
|
Phosophatidylglycerol - A phospholipid present in fetal surfactant after about 35 weeks gestation
|
|
|
Postcoital exam
|
??
|
|
|
TET
|
Tubal embryo transfer - Procedure in which eggs are retrieved and incubated with the man's sperm then transferred back into the women's body at the embryo stage.
