In vitro fertilization involves the maturation and fertilization of the egg within laboratory glassware, and then 2-4 days later, the embryo is transferred to the uterus. Gamete intrafallopian transfer is the same as in vitro fertilization, but the embryo is immediately inserted into the uterus instead of waiting 2-4 days. Artificial insemination involves a physician placing the sperm directly into the vagina. A surrogate mother is when a woman carries a baby for another woman. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is the injection of a single sperm into an egg.
