The difference between IVF and natural pregnancy

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations by cultivating the fertilized eggs in vitro for a period of time and then transplanting them into the mother's womb. Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF has the following differences.

1. Pregnancy mode

Natural pregnancy means that during the couple's sexual behavior, the sperm enters the uterus through the vagina, combines with the egg to form a fertilized egg, and then inserts into the uterine wall. In IVF, the sperm and egg are combined in the laboratory through artificial assisted fertilization, and the fertilized egg is then transplanted into the uterus.

Compared with natural pregnancy, IVF can achieve pregnancy through a series of operations and treatment processes with the help of medical technology. Compared with natural pregnancy, its birth form is more special.

2. Treatment process

The treatment process of IVF usually includes the following steps: hormone therapy, ovulation monitoring, egg collection, sperm treatment and combination, embryo culture and embryo transfer. It should be noted that each step will be completed with the close cooperation of medical equipment and professionals.

Compared with natural pregnancy, the treatment process of IVF requires more examinations and operations, as well as precise regulation and control. The treatment process requires a certain amount of time and energy, and may bring some physical discomfort and inconvenience.

3. Success rate

The success rate of IVF is not absolute and is affected by many factors. Age, health status, birth history and professional level of the medical team will affect the success rate. According to statistics, the success rate of IVF is usually between 30% and 50%.

In contrast, the success rate of natural pregnancy will be affected by more variables, such as the regularity of ovulation cycle, the quality of eggs and sperm, etc. The success rate of pregnancy varies greatly between different couples.

4. Psychological pressure

IVF treatment may bring some psychological pressure. For some couples, the inability to conceive naturally may have a certain impact and distress on their psychology and emotions. Many people will experience a long "trial pregnancy treatment" before choosing IVF.

Relatively speaking, natural pregnancy is more natural, which can reduce some of the psychological pressure caused by the treatment process. However, both IVF and natural pregnancy require the cooperation and patience of both couples to face the opportunities and challenges of childbirth.

In conclusion, there are some differences between IVF and natural pregnancy in terms of pregnancy mode, treatment process, success rate and psychological pressure. However, no matter which way, the ultimate goal is to help couples achieve their reproductive aspirations and become a complete family.
