1. Definition and process of IVF
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to reproductive system problems achieve their reproductive aspirations. The technology mainly includes two steps: in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer.
In vitro fertilization first requires women to receive assisted ovulation treatment to increase the number of eggs produced by the ovary. Then, with the help of a doctor, the eggs and sperm are artificially combined in the laboratory to form a fertilized egg. After cultivation and screening, the healthiest embryo will be selected to be transplanted into the female uterus, hoping to be implanted and develop into a healthy fetus.
2. The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors
The success rate of IVF refers to the probability of successfully giving birth to a healthy baby in a cycle. However, it is disheartening that IVF technology does not succeed immediately in every cycle. The success rate depends on many factors, including age, reproductive health status, hospital technical level, etc.
First, female age is one of the most important factors. With the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline, and the success rate of IVF will also decrease. Generally speaking, women under 35 years old have a higher success rate, while women over 40 years old have a lower success rate.
Secondly, reproductive health will also affect the success rate. The number and quality of female eggs, as well as the health of the environment in the uterus, will affect the development and implantation of fertilized eggs. For men, the quantity and quality of sperm are also important.
In addition, selecting appropriate hospitals and doctors is also an important factor to improve the success rate. Jingdezhen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a hospital with rich experience and high-level medical team. It has advanced equipment and technology, and can provide patients with a full range of IVF services.
3. Average number of successful cycles and individual differences
For IVF, success is not achieved overnight. Usually, many attempts are needed to successfully give birth to a healthy baby. On average, a couple needs to try for 3 to 6 cycles.
However, everyone's situation is different. Some couples may succeed in the first attempt, while others may need more attempts. It depends on the individual's physiological condition, medical technology and doctor's experience.
In addition, age is also an important factor affecting the number of successful cycles. Younger couples usually need to try fewer cycles, while older couples need to try more.
4. Psychological support and positive attitude are critical to success
When trying IVF, couples often face pressure and challenges from all aspects. After each attempt fails, depression, anxiety and despair may occur. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a positive attitude and obtain psychological support.
Couples should actively participate in the whole process, support and understand each other. In addition, it is beneficial to seek professional psychological counseling and support, join relevant support groups or communities, and share experience with other couples who have experienced similar situations.
In Jingdezhen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, professional medical teams will provide patients with guidance and support throughout the process to help them overcome difficulties and increase the chances of success.
Summary
IVF technology is a modern assisted reproductive technology, which can help those couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. The success rate is affected by many factors, including age, reproductive health status and hospital technical level. The number of attempts required by each couple varies, and on average it takes 3 to 6 cycles. In the whole process, positive attitude and psychological support are very important for success.
