How to realize menopausal IVF
The menopausal test tube baby is a modern medical technology, which helps menopausal women achieve pregnancy and childbirth through artificial assisted reproduction technology. Although the realization process of menopausal IVF is relatively complex, it brings hope and joy to women who cannot conceive naturally. The following will elaborate on the realization of menopausal IVF from four aspects: hormone therapy, ovarian stimulation, egg collection and embryo implantation.
hormone therapy
In the process of menopausal IVF, hormone therapy is the first step. The purpose of hormone therapy is to promote the growth of follicles and the recovery of ovarian function by giving women a certain dose of hormone. Common hormones are estrogen and progesterone. These hormones can be given orally, by injection or by patch. During hormone therapy, doctors will constantly monitor the size and number of follicles to determine the best time for collection.
In the process of hormone therapy, some side effects may occur, such as breast pain, emotional fluctuations, edema, etc., but most of these side effects are temporary and generally tolerable. The doctor will adjust the dose and program of hormone therapy according to the specific situation of each patient to achieve the best therapeutic effect.
Ovarian stimulation
On the basis of hormone therapy, the ovarian function of patients will be recovered to some extent. In order to increase the quantity and quality of eggs, ovarian stimulation is needed. Ovarian stimulation is generally achieved by injection of ovulation promoting drugs. Ovulation promoting drugs can stimulate the ovary to produce more eggs and make them mature. Doctors will choose appropriate ovulation promoting drugs according to the patient's age, ovarian function and treatment goals.
During the process of ovarian stimulation, patients need to be regularly rechecked to monitor the development of follicles. The doctor will adjust the dosage and treatment plan according to the recheck results. In the process of ovarian stimulation, there may be a risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, so it is necessary to closely monitor the ovarian response of patients to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
Egg collection
When the follicle reaches the appropriate size, the egg can be collected. Egg collection is generally carried out during controlled ovulation, and the eggs in the follicle are aspirated through the fine needle guided by transvaginal ultrasound. This process is usually carried out in the operating room and local anesthesia is usually used. The collected eggs will be quickly sent to the laboratory for testing and processing.
Egg collection is a minimally invasive surgical process, which generally does not bring too much pain and discomfort to patients. However, due to individual differences, some patients may have a little discomfort. After the operation, the patient needs to rest for a period of time to restore the strength of the body.
Embryo implantation
The eggs examined and cultured in the laboratory will be fertilized with the man's sperm to form an embryo. Embryo culture usually takes 3-5 days, and doctors will determine the best implantation time according to the quality and quantity of embryos.
Embryo implantation is a simple surgical process, which is generally painless. The doctor will select the best one or several embryos to be implanted into the uterus through vagina. After implantation, patients need to pay attention to rest and body warmth to improve the probability of successful implantation. Later, patients need to have regular blood tests and B ultrasound examinations to ensure the smooth progress of pregnancy.
Summary
The menopausal IVF is realized through hormone therapy, ovarian stimulation, egg collection and embryo implantation. The purpose of these steps is to promote the recovery of ovarian function and obtain sufficient quantity and quality of eggs. Although there may be some discomfort and risks in the whole process, with the continuous progress of medical technology, the success rate of postmenopausal IVF has gradually increased. The menopausal IVF provides women who are unable to conceive naturally with the opportunity to realize their reproductive aspirations, bringing them great hope and joy.
