How long does it take for Hangzhou Provincial Women's Insurance Test Tube Baby?
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for some infertile patients. In Hangzhou Women's Insurance Hospital, they have advanced equipment and professional medical team to provide IVF services for infertile patients. Next, we will elaborate on the schedule of IVF in Hangzhou from four aspects.
1. Preparation stage before IVF
A series of preparations are required before IVF. First, the woman needs to carry out some routine examinations, including tubal patency examination, hysteroscopy, etc., to ensure the health of the uterus and ovaries. The man also needs a detailed semen analysis. In addition, both spouses also need to conduct genetic counseling and disease screening to exclude genetic diseases and carriers.
Once all the preparations are completed, the doctor will make a specific treatment plan according to the woman's menstrual cycle. Generally, the treatment cycle of IVF is 28 days, divided into down-regulation cycle and ovulation promotion cycle. The down-regulation cycle regulates the menstrual cycle of the woman through hormone drugs, and the ovulation promotion cycle promotes the growth and development of follicles through hormone drugs.
The whole preparation phase usually takes 2-3 months, and the specific time will vary depending on the patient's situation.
2. Egg collection and sperm extraction
Before entering the formal IVF treatment stage, the woman needs to collect eggs. This process is usually performed under local anesthesia using ultrasound guided egg retrieval technology. Doctors use long and thin needles to puncture the ovary and suck the mature eggs in the follicle.
At the same time, the man needs to provide fresh semen samples. If the man has sperm quality or quantity problems, he can also obtain sperm through other methods such as testicular biopsy.
Egg collection and sperm extraction are usually carried out on the same day, and the whole operation process only takes about 30 minutes. After the operation, the doctor will evaluate and process the quality of the eggs and sperm collected.
3. IVF embryo culture and embryo transfer
In the process of embryo culture, doctors place sperm and eggs in culture dishes, and promote the development of fertilized eggs by artificially controlling environmental conditions. Usually on the fifth day of the culture process, the embryo has developed to a sufficient stage and is ready for embryo transfer.
Embryo transfer is the last step in IVF treatment. The doctor will implant one or more embryos into the woman's uterine cavity to increase the possibility of successful pregnancy. The process of embryo transfer usually does not require anesthesia and is a painless operation.
After embryo transfer, women need to continue taking hormone drugs to maintain hormone levels and increase the success rate of pregnancy. Two weeks later, the woman will have a blood progesterone test to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful.
4. Time summary of IVF treatment
The whole IVF treatment period is usually 2-3 months. During this period, patients need to undergo a series of examinations, surgery and medication. The specific time arrangement depends on the individual condition of the patient. However, this technology has achieved good results in the Hangzhou Provincial Women's Insurance Hospital, which has brought good news to couples who cannot have children naturally.
If you and your spouse also encounter difficulties in trying to conceive, you may want to consider IVF technology. You can consult the local professional hospital for more information about IVF and treatment plan.
