Test tube baby preparation
Test tube baby is one of the most concerned birth methods in recent years, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons. In order to ensure the success rate of IVF, a series of preparatory work should be carried out before artificial fertilization.
（1） Reproductive Hospital Selection
First, it is very important to choose a formal and professional reproductive hospital. A regular reproductive hospital should have a certain scale and strength, equipped with advanced equipment and professional medical team. In addition, the reputation and professionalism of reproductive hospitals are also important indicators for selection, which can be determined by consulting the hospital's evaluation and consulting others' experience.
Secondly, we should understand the IVF service process and technical ability of the hospital. To understand the hospital's treatment plan, success rate, cost and other information for IVF, we can communicate with hospital experts to clarify the service content and expected results.
Finally, choosing a hospital close to home can improve the convenience of medical treatment, because IVF needs to go to the hospital for inspection and treatment many times during the process, and convenient transportation can reduce unnecessary troubles.
（2） Physical examination and disease screening
The early preparation of IVF includes detailed physical examination and disease screening for both spouses. These examinations can help doctors understand the health status of the couple, assess their physique and fertility conditions, and provide a basis for subsequent treatment plan formulation.
Common examination items include routine blood test, routine urine test, liver function, renal function and sex hormone level. In addition, screening for chromosomal abnormalities and detection of sexually transmitted diseases, such as hepatitis B and AIDS, will also be carried out. Through these tests, diseases and genetic problems that may potentially affect the success rate of IVF and embryo health can be excluded.
If relevant diseases or physiological abnormalities are found, doctors will further diagnose and treat them. These tests and treatments are all aimed at improving the success rate of IVF and the health of embryos.
（3） Determination of treatment plan
According to the couple's physical condition and examination results, the doctor will develop a personalized IVF treatment plan. The treatment plan usually includes ovulation induction, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer and other steps.
The first step is to promote ovulation, promote follicle growth and ovulation through the assistance of drugs, and increase the chance of pregnancy. Then, an egg retrieval operation is performed to take out the mature eggs. The next step is fertilization, by combining sperm and eggs in the laboratory, the embryo is cultivated. Finally, the embryo is transferred back to the mother, waiting for the pregnancy results.
In this process, doctors will determine the time point of medication and treatment according to the menstrual cycle and ovarian function of women to improve the chances of fertilization and implantation. The specific details of the treatment plan need to be communicated and determined with the doctor in detail.
（4） Psychological preparation and life adjustment
Test tube baby is not only a physical challenge for couples, but also a psychological challenge. Therefore, psychological preparation and life adjustment are also very important parts in the preparation of IVF.
Due to the pressure and tension that IVF may face during the whole process, both couples need to have enough psychological preparation to face the possible variables and uncertainties. It is an effective way to talk and communicate with psychological counselors, seek support and understanding from relatives and friends, and participate in relevant support groups and rehabilitation activities.
In addition, couples also need to adjust their lifestyle and eating habits to maintain a good attitude. Regular work and rest time and proper exercise can improve physical fitness and disease resistance.
summary
The early preparation of IVF covers many aspects, including hospital selection, physical examination and disease screening, treatment plan determination, psychological preparation and life adjustment. Through the above preparations, the couple can create favorable conditions and environment for the success of IVF, while reducing risks and improving embryo health.
Therefore, before IVF, couples must carefully prepare and cooperate with professional medical teams to work together to achieve their fertility aspirations.
