Question 1

is the development and stages of zygote, blastocyst, etc. the same whether or not u have had ivf or the natural way?

Accepted Answer

Same: Development is the same, the difference is ivf embryos enter the uterine cavity earlier than in natural conception.

Question 2

what comes first: blastocyst, zygote, or blastula?

Accepted Answer

Zygote: Zygote is first. It happens upon fertilization.

Question 3

what is the definition of zygote or offspring?

Accepted Answer

Offspring: offspring = a person's progeny.

Question 4

do you believe in destroying a zygote thru abortion?

Accepted Answer

Faith issue: For the religious trained to believe that life begins at fertilization, loss of any fertilized egg or fetus is a killing.  A few religions say life begins at implantation - mormons for instance.  Many say nothing.  If the death of a fertilized egg is abortion, than your diety is the big perpetrator since about 70-85% of ferilized eggs pass out without implantation. None of this is in the bible.

Question 5

do choice advocates believe that the zygote is not yet a human being?

Accepted Answer

A matter of faith: Some religious advocates feel that life begins at conception. Others for instance mormons believe that life begins at implantation.  Others at quickening, or when a heartbeat is detected.  There is nothing in the bible about this so many strong religious ideas are modern.  Remember that around 80% of fertilized eggs spontaneously pass without developing so nature gets rid of many zygotes.

Question 6

what is zygote intrafallopian transfer?

Accepted Answer

ZIFT: Zygote intrafallopian transfer (zift) is a surgical, laparoscopic, procedure where a zygote is placed in the female's fallopian tube. The zygote continues to grow and migrates to the uterine cavity where it implants.

Question 7

where do i go to get a zygote intra fallopian transfer done?

Accepted Answer

You Don't: No reputable program would offer this technique unless perhaps you were born without a vagina. This was once an option for clinics that demonstrated poor ivf results, but as knowledge improved this is simply a great way to experience ectopic pregnancies and multiple births for twice the cost of normal ivf.

Question 8

who is not a suitable candidate for zygote intrafallopian transfer?

Accepted Answer

Older procedure: Zygote intrafallopian transfer (zift) is an older procedure which has been replaced by the current in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer techniques utilized these days. Zift requires normal fallopian tubes.

Question 9

what would happen if the zygote did not implant in the uterus?

Accepted Answer

Early miscarriage: Period may be a few days late, but nothing exceptional would happen otherwise and no way of ever knowing as period can be late due to many factors.

Question 10

does thinning of the uterine wall by birth cause the zygote not to attach next time?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The uterine wall is designed to stretch and thin out as the pregnancy advances. Once a person has delivered the uterus returns to its ~ normal size and shape . It is rare for the uterine wall to remain thin after a delivery unless someone had a cesarean section where the incision didnt heal as expected. Sometimes in areas of scarring (from prior surgery, placental attachment) egg might not attach.
