Short program flow of IVF

Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which is often used for couples who cannot conceive naturally. The short program flow of IVF will be introduced in detail below to help couples understand and prepare mentally and physically.

Scheme I: preliminary evaluation

Before considering IVF, couples first need to undergo a series of physical examinations. These examinations will include semen analysis of the man and ultrasound of follicular puncture of the woman to assess their reproductive capacity and uterine cavity conditions. The doctor will also ask the couple's personal and family history to ensure that there are no genetic diseases or other potential risks.

If the preliminary evaluation results are normal, the doctor will continue to develop personalized short programs for the couple.

Scheme II: Ovulation guidance and oocyte collection

In the IVF short program, the woman will first receive an ovulation guide. This process includes the use of drugs to promote the ovarian development of more follicles. Doctors will monitor the growth of follicles through ultrasound, and use another drug to guide ovulation when appropriate.

Once the follicle develops to the proper size, the doctor will perform an egg cell collection operation. This process usually uses painless or local anesthesia to collect eggs by puncturing the ovary with a needle. The collected egg cells will then be combined with sperm in the laboratory to obtain a fertilized egg.

Programme 3: Embryo culture and embryo transfer

The collected egg cells will be placed in a culture dish for cultivation and observation in the laboratory. The better developed embryo will be selected for transplantation into the woman's uterus. The process of embryo transfer usually does not require anesthesia, and doctors will use a catheter to put the embryo into the uterus. Thereafter, the woman needs a rest to improve the success rate of transplantation.

Scheme IV: pregnancy detection and pregnancy maintenance

After the embryo transfer, the woman needs to wait about two weeks for a pregnancy test. This can be detected by a blood test. If the result is positive, the doctor will continue to monitor the pregnancy and provide necessary support treatment, such as progesterone, as required.

If the initial IVF short protocol fails, the doctor will evaluate the protocol and put forward suggestions for improvement. Couples can choose to try again until they achieve their pregnancy goals.

Summary

Short term IVF protocol generally includes preliminary evaluation, ovulation guidance and oocyte collection, embryo culture and embryo transfer, pregnancy detection and pregnancy maintenance. Each step needs the guidance and monitoring of doctors to ensure that the success rate is as high as possible. By understanding the IVF process, couples can better understand the whole process and prepare for future challenges.
