The discrepancy in the results of gamete intrafallopian transfer as compared to in vitro fertilization could be explained by the wide range of heterogeneous groups of patients treated by gamete intrafallopian transfer and in vitro fertilization and the higher number of gametes transferred in gamete intrafallopian transfer.
