                                                \n(a) GIFT – It is the introduction of 2 unfertilized oocytes and 2-5 lac motile sperm into fallopian tube of a woman desires to have a child through laparoscope. The egg may be of her’s or of a donor. The sperm may be her husband’s or of a donor.

                                                (b) Cu-T, Cu 7 are intra uterine, contraceptive devices having ionized copper. The copper defuses into uterus. It brings about the release of toxic cytokinins. They inhibit the sperm motility and therefore\u00a0 fertilization of ovum. Another categories of IUDs are hormonal in nature.
