What is IVF
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology (ART), is a method to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons achieve their reproductive aspirations by fertilizing and cultivating fertilized eggs in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET) are the most common IVF processes. Through this method, many couples have successfully welcomed their own babies.
The process of IVF is usually divided into four main steps: ovarian stimulation, egg collection, sperm fertilization and embryo transfer.
What are the steps and success rates
Ovarian stimulation: In this step, women will receive hormone therapy to urge their ovaries to produce more eggs. The doctor will monitor the growth of the ovary and conduct the next operation after a sufficient number of mature eggs are formed in the ovary.
Egg collection: In this step, the doctor will use a procedure called "ovarian puncture" to remove the mature eggs from the ovary. This process is usually carried out under local anesthesia and will not cause severe pain to the patient.
Sperm fertilization: After the egg is collected, the doctor combines the sperm with the egg and lets it fertilize in a petri dish. This process can be completed by ordinary in vitro fertilization (IVF) or single sperm injection (ICSI), depending on individual conditions.
Embryo transfer: The fertilized egg will be cultured in a petri dish for 2 to 6 days, and then the doctor will transfer the most promising embryo back to the mother's womb. This process is usually painless and does not require hospitalization.
Success rate is an important indicator to measure the success of IVF. However, the success rate varies according to many factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the technology used. Generally speaking, IVF for young couples has a high success rate. In the United Family IVF Center, they have complete equipment and a highly professional medical team.
