Jingdezhen IVF: What is the process and cycle?
IVF, also known as assisted reproductive technology (ART), is a way to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In Jingdezhen, there are many regular hospitals providing IVF services. This article will elaborate the flow and cycle of Jingdezhen IVF from four aspects.
Patient screening and preparation
First, patients need to undergo a series of tests to determine whether it is suitable for IVF. These examinations include female ovarian function examination, endometrial thickness measurement, male semen analysis, etc. If the examination results are normal, the doctor will communicate with the couple to understand their medical history, living habits and expectations in detail, so as to develop a personalized treatment plan. Patients also need to receive psychological assessment to ensure that they have sufficient understanding and psychological preparation for the IVF process.
Before entering the formal treatment, women need to stimulate the ovarian growth of follicles through drugs, and regularly check the blood and ultrasound to monitor the development of follicles. Generally speaking, on the second day of treatment, patients need to inject ovulation promoting drugs every day until the follicles mature. The time period of treatment can vary according to individual conditions.
When the follicle develops to an appropriate stage, the doctor will instruct the patient to inject drugs to stop the maturation of the follicle, and then conduct follicle puncture 36 hours later to remove the egg. This operation is usually carried out in the operating room by experienced doctors.
IVF Embryo Culture
The eggs taken out will be fertilized in vitro with the sperm of the spouse to form a fertilized egg. In a test tube, the embryo is cultured in a specific culture medium until it develops to an embryonic stage suitable for implantation into the uterus. The culture period is generally 2 to 6 days. The doctor will decide the best implantation time according to the development of the embryo and the needs of the patient.
In order to improve the success rate of embryo implantation, doctors may conduct chromosome screening of embryos. This can help screen out embryos with chromosomal abnormalities to improve the success rate of pregnancy and reduce the risk of abortion after embryo implantation.
Embryo implantation
After the embryo has developed to a stage suitable for implantation, doctors will perform embryo implantation surgery. The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, without hospitalization. The doctor will select the best quality embryo for implantation, and place the embryo in the endometrium through a catheter.
After implantation, patients need to rest and observe. Doctors will also advise patients to continue taking progesterone and other drugs to help maintain pregnancy. After about two weeks, the patient can have an early pregnancy examination to determine whether the pregnancy is successful.
Pregnancy and pregnancy outcome
After the pregnancy is successful, the patient will continue to carry out pregnancy inspection and obstetrics and gynecology follow-up, and carry out pregnancy health care and life guidance according to the doctor's recommendations. Under normal circumstances, there is no obvious difference between the pregnancy process of IVF and that of normal pregnant women.
The pregnancy outcome of IVF is as diverse as that of natural pregnancy, including smooth delivery, premature delivery and low birth weight. However, IVF treatment in regular hospitals can greatly improve the success rate of pregnancy and reduce potential risks.
In a word, the process of Jingdezhen IVF includes patient screening and preparation, embryo culture, embryo implantation, and pregnancy and pregnancy outcome. Each step has undergone certain inspection and operation to ensure that the patient can safely and effectively achieve their reproductive aspirations.
