Postmenopausal IVF protocol
With the rapid development of science and technology, more and more women choose postmenopausal IVF as a way of pregnancy. IVF is an artificial pregnancy technology completed in vitro, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. This article will introduce the program of postmenopausal IVF from the following four aspects.
1. Receptor selection
The success rate of postmenopausal IVF is closely related to the recipient's age, physical condition and uterine condition. Generally, healthy women under 50 years old with normal uterine function are selected as recipients of IVF. Advanced medical equipment can comprehensively inspect the uterus of the recipient through ultrasound, MRI and other technologies to ensure that the thickness and shape of the endometrium meet the conditions of pregnancy.
At the same time, the number and quality of postmenopausal women's eggs will be significantly reduced, so high-quality eggs need to be selected. The patients need to undergo strict screening, including age, ovarian function, egg quality and other indicators. Doctors will develop personalized IVF programs according to the specific conditions of the recipient and the recipient.
2. Ovulation induction and egg collection
In order to obtain more healthy eggs, postmenopausal receptors need to stimulate ovarian function through ovulation promoting drugs. These drugs can stimulate the ovary to release more eggs and improve the success rate of IVF. According to the physical conditions of the recipient and the person, the doctor will prescribe appropriate drug doses.
After ovulation induction, the doctor will conduct regular ultrasonic examination to determine the development of eggs. When the eggs are mature, the doctor will choose the right time to collect eggs. Egg collection was conducted in the hospital operating room by means of painless or local anesthesia. Doctors use a slender needle to puncture the ovary to collect eggs, and then fertilize them with sperm in the laboratory.
3. Embryo transfer
Embryo culture is one of the key links in the success of IVF. In the laboratory, doctors will cultivate the fertilized eggs to an appropriate time and select the well developed embryos for transplantation. Usually, single or multiple embryos will be transferred on the third, fifth or sixth day.
Embryo transfer is a simple operation, usually through the vagina. The doctor inserts the selected embryo into the recipient's uterus through a slender catheter. After surgery, the recipient needs to pay attention to rest, reduce physical activity, and improve the success rate of transplantation.
4. Postoperative nursing and pregnancy management
After successful IVF transplantation, the recipient will need postoperative care and pregnancy management. The doctor will instruct the recipient how to take medicine correctly, how to avoid stimulating food and activities, and how to conduct routine pregnancy examinations.
In addition, the receptor also needs to pay attention to psychological adjustment. The success of IVF will have a certain impact on the emotion of the recipient. Therefore, it is recommended that the recipient conduct psychological counseling to obtain better psychological support.
summary
Postmenopausal IVF is a technologically advanced way of reproduction. It can help postmenopausal women who are unable to conceive naturally realize their mother's dream through multiple comprehensive programs including receptor selection, ovulation induction and egg collection, embryo transfer, postoperative care and pregnancy management. However, there are still some risks and uncertainties in the IVF process. Before accepting this technology, patients should fully understand it and have a detailed communication and discussion with doctors.
