The whole process of IVF

IVF, also known as artificial fertilization and in vitro fertilization, with the help of modern medical technology, provides an important way for couples who desire to have children because of infertility or infertility. The following will elaborate on the whole process of IVF from the aspects of consultation and evaluation, assisted reproductive technology, embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring.

Consultation and evaluation

Before deciding to perform IVF surgery, couples need to first consult a professional doctor to understand the specific process and possible risks of artificial insemination. First, the doctor will collect the couple's personal and medical history, carry out a comprehensive physical examination and necessary reproductive system related examinations to assess the couple's fertility. In addition, psychological assessment will also assess the adaptability and emotional state of the couple to ensure that they can withstand pressure and make wise decisions in the whole process.

Assisted reproductive technology

Once the consultation and evaluation are completed, the doctor will formulate a suitable assisted reproductive technology plan according to the specific situation of the couple. Common assisted reproductive technologies include in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. First, women receive ovulation induction therapy to increase egg production. Then, doctors collect eggs through ultrasound guidance and vagina, and fertilize them in vitro with sperm provided by men in the laboratory. After the fertilized eggs are cultured and evaluated, high-quality embryos are selected for embryo transfer. The remaining embryos can be frozen for future cycle ovulation or embryo transfer. In addition, for those couples with chromosomal abnormalities, unclear reasons for infertility or older couples, assisted reproductive technology can also be used to screen embryos with normal chromosomes to improve the success rate of pregnancy and reduce the risk of abortion or congenital diseases caused by chromosomal abnormalities of embryos.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is a key step in the IVF process. According to the decision of the couple and the doctor, the doctor will transfer high-quality embryos into the female uterus at an appropriate time. This process is usually carried out directly through the vagina or via vaginal endoscopy. After embryo transfer, women need to rest and avoid strenuous exercise and overwork to improve the success rate of implantation. Doctors may also prescribe appropriate drugs, such as progesterone, to promote blastocyst implantation and embryo development.

Pregnancy monitoring

After embryo transfer, couples need to conduct periodic pregnancy monitoring to determine whether pregnancy is successful. Doctors usually test the blood or urine for progesterone to ensure the successful implantation of the embryo. If the pregnancy is confirmed, the doctor will arrange regular prenatal examination, B-scan and blood examination to monitor the development of the fetus and the health of the mother.

Summary

IVF is a complex and sophisticated reproductive technology, involving multiple steps and links. From consultation and evaluation to the application of assisted reproductive technology, embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring, every link needs the professional guidance of doctors and the active cooperation of couples. Through IVF technology, many infertile or infertile couples have successfully achieved their dream of having children, bringing them the integrity and happiness of their families.
