Third Party IVF
IVF or in vitro fertilization is a minimally invasive procedure for assisted reproduction which involves the collection of gametes from the intended parents and then combining them to form the zygote. After examining the zygote, it is carefully placed in the uterus of the female partner where it grows naturally. The procedure requires healthy male and female gametes, however, in some cases where either of the two partners is not able to produce sufficient healthy gametes, there might be a need of third party IVF.
Also known as third party reproduction, third party IVF is an alternative for those couples who are not able to conceive naturally or using the traditional IVF method. Third-party IVF is an assisted reproduction technique in which DNA or gestation is provided by a third party or donor other than either or both of the intended parents. Over the past few years, third party IVF has become a dominant treatment.
