The Preparation Process of Li Xiang's Second Fetal IVF
Li Xiang is a well-known entertainment industry figure in China. She gave birth to her first child in 2010, and now she has decided to carry out the process of two test tube babies. As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The preparation process of Li Xiang's second fetal IVF will be introduced in detail below.
Step 1: hormone therapy
The first step of IVF process is to promote ovarian development through hormone therapy. First, the doctor will inject ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple follicles. Later, after the ovarian development reaches a certain stage, the doctor will inject Li Xiang with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) to guide follicle maturation. This can ensure that multiple mature eggs can be obtained during the egg retrieval operation.
Next, the doctor will determine the size and number of follicles, as well as the thickness of the endometrium, through ultrasound examination. This information helps to determine the best time to retrieve eggs.
The whole hormone treatment process usually takes several weeks, and the doctor will adjust it according to the situation of each individual.
Step 2: Egg retrieval
Egg retrieval is one of the core steps of IVF process. Before the operation, Li Xiang will receive general anesthesia. Doctors will use ultrasound guided fine needle puncture technology to insert a needle into the ovary and extract mature eggs from the follicle. Egg retrieval is usually performed in the hospital operating room, and the operation time is about 30 minutes.
The removed eggs will be transferred to the laboratory, waiting to combine with sperm to form a fertilized egg.
Step 3: Embryo culture and transfer
In the laboratory, the eggs taken out will be combined with the man's sperm and cultured into embryos. Embryos will maintain certain temperature and humidity conditions in the incubator until they develop into suitable embryos for transplantation.
Doctors and patients will jointly decide on the number of embryos to be transferred. In the case of Li Xiang, considering the success rate and the risk of multiple pregnancies, one or two embryos will usually be transferred.
Embryo transfer is usually a painless process, and doctors will use a thin tube to transfer the embryo into the uterine cavity. The whole process usually only takes a few minutes, and Li Xiang will need a rest after transplantation.
Step 4: pregnancy detection and pregnancy
Normally, Li Xiang will have a pregnancy test about two weeks after transplantation. This is usually done by detecting progesterone levels in blood or urine. If the test result is positive, it means that Li Xiang is successfully pregnant and can continue the follow-up of pregnancy.
The doctor will regularly track and check Li Xiang's pregnancy to ensure the normal development of the embryo. During pregnancy, Li Xiang needs to pay attention to diet, rest and avoid strenuous activities to ensure the stable growth of the embryo.
summary
Li Xiang's process of carrying out the second test tube baby includes hormone therapy, egg taking operation, embryo culture and transfer, as well as pregnancy detection and pregnancy. This process requires the cooperation of doctors and patients to help Li Xiang realize his dream of having a second child through scientific methods.
The development of IVF technology has given new hope to many couples who cannot conceive naturally. It not only provides them with the possibility of a reproductive choice, but also deepens people's understanding and respect for life.
