Document Summary
How genetic technology is combining with assisted reproductive technologies. Infertile: have been trying to have a baby for 12 months without any sort of contraceptives and haven"t been successful: technologies: Inrauterine insemination: when you get a sperm donation (that are chemically washed) and is placed into the lady. Ivf (invitro fertilization): take a sperm and egg and fertilize in a dish - induce woman to ovulate eggs (remember older ladies have more shitty eggs, so you probably need more egg options) After you fertilize egg to become a zygote, it starts to divide to become an embryo until there"s about an 8 cell embryo and implant the embryo into the lady. Ovulation induction: when you take drugs to make the lady ovulate at a certain time. Icsi (intracytoplasmic sperm injection): literally take a sperm or choice in a needle and forces it into the egg.
