After previously discussing your situation, with Hillary’s blocked fallopian tubes, we have done some further research into what ART procedure would work best for you to conceive your child. ART also known as ‘Assisted Reproductive Technology” is the application of laboratory or clinical technology to gametes (eggs or sperm) and embryos for the purpose of reproduction.
We came up with the conclusion that In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most appropriate assisted reproductive technology for the most efficient way assure a pregnancy. We have found that other ART procedures aren’t an option due to Hillary’s circumstances such as Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) and Zygote Intra-Fallopian transfer. GIFT requires the transferal of the best-looking eggs into the fallopian tubes, along with some of the husbands sperm. This is an ineffective option, because Hillary’s fallopian tubes are blocked and the eggs wouldn’t be able to reproduce inside her fallopian tubes. ZIFT is the procedure where the fertilised eggs (zygotes), are placed within the fallopian tubes. This wouldn’t be an effective …show more content…
One of the main advantages is most children born with the help of IVF treatment end up having no long term problems and another advantage is just being able to give birth to your own child. Some disadvantages that could come with IVF are the side effects from all the drugs and injections especially the fertility drugs being the most common with causing side effects such as hot flushes, headaches and nausea, you will need to be closely monitored for signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Having ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may mean an interruption or cancellation of the treatment cycle and a stay in hospital while your over-stimulated ovaries settle down. Another disadvantage may be a higher risk of ectopic pregnancy, where an embryo implants in a fallopian tube or in your abdominal
