Read ART by What Is Transferred and Where
ART questions become easier when you name what is transferred and where it goes.
Living-system questions are solved by matching a structure or organism to its function, process and stated condition.
Match technique to the barrier
Artificial insemination (AI) can help when sperm count is low by placing semen into the female reproductive tract. IVF fertilises an ovum outside the body; embryos are then transferred to the reproductive tract. ZIFT transfers a zygote or early embryo to the fallopian tube; IUT transfers an embryo to the uterus.
Do not diagnose infertility too early
Two months without conception is not sufficient to diagnose infertility. Infertility assessment follows a substantially longer period of regular unprotected intercourse and considers both partners.

- ✓Oligospermia can be addressed with AI in the keyed sample.
- ✓ZIFT → tube; IUT → uterus.
- ✓IVF is in-vitro fertilisation followed by embryo transfer.
- ✓Two months is not the infertility threshold.
Keep the site of fertilisation separate from the site where a zygote or embryo is transferred.
