FAQ 1: What is IVF?
Test tube baby, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), is a kind of assisted reproductive technology used to solve the problem of infertility. It helps couples realize their desire for pregnancy and fertility by fertilizing eggs and sperm in vitro, cultivating them into embryos, and then transplanting the embryos into women's uterus. IVF technology has been successfully applied throughout the country, including Anqing City.
IVF-ET is a complex technology, which is generally applicable to the following situations:
1. Infertility caused by abnormal fallopian tube.
2. Endometriosis.
3. Aged infertility.
4. Male infertility caused by testicular dysfunction.
FAQ 2: What is the success rate of IVF?
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including female age, infertility cause, treatment plan, etc. Generally speaking, younger women have a higher success rate because their eggs are relatively good. The IVF technology carried out by hospitals in Anqing City is rich in experience, advanced in equipment, and the success rate continues to increase.
However, IVF is not a 100% successful technology. According to statistical data, the success rate of IVF in Anqing City is between 30% and 50%. Therefore, before IVF, the couple should fully understand the relevant knowledge, make a reasonable treatment plan, and be prepared for the possibility of failure.
FAQ 3: Is IVF safe?
IVF is a safe medical technology, but there are also certain risks. The main risks include:
1. Multiple pregnancy: In order to improve the success rate, doctors sometimes choose to transplant multiple embryos to increase the chance of pregnancy. However, multiple pregnancy will increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses.
2. Ovarian pricking: In the process of egg retrieval, doctors need to conduct ovarian stimulation in order to obtain enough eggs. Overstimulation may lead to ovarian overreaction syndrome.
3. Unknown risks: IVF technology is still a new thing, and its long-term safety has not been fully understood, so there may be some unknown risks.
Before choosing IVF, couples should fully understand the relevant risks and fully communicate and discuss with doctors.

2. Drug costs: mainly the drug costs used in the process of egg retrieval, including ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone, etc.
3. Operation expenses: including operation expenses such as egg collection and embryo transfer.
