What is the approximate success rate of GIFT per egg retrieval?

• A. About 28%
• B. About 15%
• C. About 10%
• D. About 5%

Answer: (A)

GIFT places eggs and sperm directly into the fallopian tube for fertilization inside the body, and the per egg retrieval rate shows how often one retrieval cycle leads to pregnancy. In typical reproductive-age couples, the chance of achieving pregnancy from a single GIFT cycle is roughly a quarter to a third. That means about one in four to one in three cycles succeeds, influenced by factors like age, ovarian reserve, tubal health, and sperm quality. GIFT historically had variable success and is less commonly used today because IVF offers more consistent control and similar or higher per-cycle success in many settings.
