GIFT and IUI in the district general hospital.
Recent reports on gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) in hospitals without IVF support have been encouraging. We report on the use of GIFT and intrauterine insemination (IUI) at Northampton General Hospital, where capital costs for setting up the programme have been low. To date seven IUI and three GIFT treatments have been completed, resulting in three IUI positive pregnancy tests. One miscarried after several positive beta-HCGs and one GIFT pregnancy was achieved.
