How long does the treatment cycle of Jieyang test tube baby need?
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and other methods. In Jieyang City, there are many regular hospitals that provide IVF treatment, and the length of the treatment cycle will be affected by many factors. The treatment cycle of Jieyang IVF will be described in detail from many aspects below.
1. Preparation period
The preparation period is the first stage of IVF treatment, which usually lasts for 1-3 months. At this stage, the doctor will conduct a detailed consultation and physical examination for the couple to understand their physical condition and birth history. If necessary, some special examinations will be carried out, such as blood biochemical examination, gynecological examination, semen analysis, etc. In addition, women may also need to have ovarian ultrasound and endometrial thickness tests.
During the preparation period, couples also need psychological counseling to understand the process and possible risks of IVF treatment. They can also discuss the treatment plan with the doctor and choose the method suitable for them. Once the preparations are completed, the couple can move on to the next stage and begin IVF treatment.
2. Ovulation promotion and egg collection
The second stage of IVF treatment is ovulation induction and egg collection, which usually lasts about 10-15 days. At this stage, women inject ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate ovarian development and mature multiple follicles. Doctors will conduct regular ultrasound examinations to determine the size and number of follicles.
When the follicle develops to a certain extent, the doctor will arrange an egg retrieval operation. Ovulation is usually performed within 36 hours before ovulation, and the procedure usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Doctors use professional fine needle puncture technology to extract eggs. The egg retrieval operation is carried out under local anesthesia. Proper rest and precautions can help women recover quickly.
3. Fertilization and embryo culture
Within a few hours after the egg retrieval operation, men need to provide semen samples. Doctors place sperm and eggs in a petri dish, allowing them to naturally combine and fertilize. This process usually takes 24-48 hours. If the quality of sperm is not ideal, doctors can also choose to use ICSI (single sperm injection) and other technologies for fertilization.
After successful fertilization, the doctor will continue to culture the embryo for several days until the best time for transplantation is reached. In the process of culture, doctors will select the most potential embryos for transplantation according to the development and quality of the embryos. Generally, the third stage of IVF treatment lasts for 5-6 days.
4. Embryo transfer and observation
After the embryo culture is completed, the doctor will select the best embryo for transfer. Embryo transfer is usually carried out 3-5 days after the completion of culture, and the whole process is similar to hysteroscopy. The doctor will send the embryo into the uterine cavity with a thin tube with a catheter, and then gradually extrude the embryo. The whole process does not require anesthesia, and usually only some slight discomfort will be felt.
After transplantation, couples need to rest and observe, waiting for embryo implantation and pregnancy. Generally speaking, about 14 days after fertilization, a blood HCG test can be performed to confirm whether the pregnancy is successful.
Summary
To sum up, the treatment cycle of Jieyang IVF generally requires 1-3 months of preparation period, 10-15 days of ovulation induction and egg collection period, 5-6 days of fertilization and embryo culture period, and waiting observation period after embryo transfer. The whole process takes about 2-3 months. However, because each couple's situation is different, the treatment cycle and method may be different. Therefore, before receiving IVF treatment, it is best to consult a doctor to understand personal conditions and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
