Multiple attempts of IVF technology
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. In IVF technology, it sometimes requires multiple attempts to succeed. The following will elaborate on the technical process, success rate, risk and psychological factors.
Technical process
The process of IVF technology includes the following key steps. First, women receive hormone therapy to promote ovarian ovulation, and then collect eggs through ultrasound guided ovarian puncture. Then, the collected eggs and male sperm are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory. After fertilization, the traditional embryo culture method or assisted incubation technology can be used to cultivate embryos. Finally, the embryos were transferred into the uterus of women, waiting for the pregnancy results.
The multiple attempts of IVF technology usually refer to multiple embryo transfers. If the first transfer is not successful, doctors can extract eggs again or select frozen embryos stored previously for transfer according to specific conditions. This process can be repeated many times to increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
Success rate
The success rate of IVF technology is closely related to multiple attempts. The data of each hospital may be different, and the success rate is also affected by many factors, including female age, egg quality, sperm quality, fertilization rate and embryo screening before transplantation.
Generally, the success rate will increase with the number of attempts. A study found that the success rate of the first test tube baby was about 30% to 40% for couples whose women were under 35 years old; The success rate of the second attempt can reach more than 50%. Therefore, for some couples who need to try many times, it is very important not to lose heart and persevere patiently.
risk
Although the multiple attempts of IVF technology can improve the success rate, there are also some risks.
First, multiple attempts may increase the burden on women's bodies. Ovarian puncture is required for each operation, with certain trauma and discomfort. At the same time, repeated use of hormone drugs may also increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Secondly, repeated attempts will also bring economic burden. The cost of IVF technology is relatively high, and the corresponding cost needs to be paid for each attempt. Therefore, the economic situation is also an important factor that many couples need to consider.
psychological factor
The repeated attempts of IVF technology will also have a certain impact on the couple's psychology.
The long treatment process and unknown results will bring anxiety and stress to couples. Repeated unsuccessful attempts may lead to depression, disappointment and helplessness, and even affect the relationship between couples. Therefore, in IVF technology, it is very important to give couples comprehensive psychological support and care to help them actively cope with emotional distress and maintain a good attitude.
summary
In conclusion, IVF technology can be tried many times to improve the success rate, but it is also accompanied by some risks and psychological pressure. Couples need to know the technical process, success rate, risk and psychological factors when making multiple attempts, and seek guidance and support from doctors and psychologists in due course. Through correct cognition and positive response, couples are expected to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
