The whole process of IVF

In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in assisted reproductive technology is a method to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. The whole process of IVF will be introduced in detail from four aspects.

1. Embryo culture and selection

The first step of IVF is to take eggs. Women are treated with ovulation guidance drugs to promote ovarian development. Then, under monitoring, mature eggs are extracted through a simple operation. The eggs are then placed in a petri dish. Then, men provide semen samples and extract sperm through special techniques. Next, sperm and egg are combined for in vitro fertilization. The fertilized eggs in the culture dish will be further incubated and develop into embryos. In the process of embryo culture, doctors usually observe the development of embryos and select healthier embryos for transplantation. This decision is based on the number, shape, quality and potential chromosomal abnormalities of embryos and other factors.

2. Embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the next stage of IVF. This step is usually carried out in the assisted reproduction hospital. In the operating room, doctors will introduce carefully selected well developed embryos into the uterus through the soft guide wire. This operation is generally simple and does not require general anesthesia, but uses local anesthesia or painless abortion technology. After embryo transfer, women need to rest for a period of time to improve the probability of embryo implantation.

3. Pregnancy

And pregnancy are the next important stage in the IVF process. After successful embryo transfer, women need to receive progesterone and other drugs to promote the deterioration of endometrium and increase the probability of embryo implantation. Next, women need to have regular blood tests and ultrasound examinations to ensure the normal progress of pregnancy. If the pregnancy is successful and maintained to a stable stage, the doctor will participate in the monitoring of the whole pregnancy period.

4. Delivery and postpartum care

When the embryo is successfully implanted and the pregnancy remains until the fetus is fully developed, the female will have a normal delivery process. Before the baby is born, the doctor will provide women with appropriate delivery guidance and ensure the safety of mother and baby. Once the test tube baby is born successfully, the doctor will provide postpartum care for the baby in time. If there are any health problems, the doctor will intervene accordingly. In addition, during the whole IVF process, couples also need psychological guidance and support to cope with possible emotional changes and stress. To sum up, the whole process of IVF includes embryo culture and selection, embryo transfer, pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care. This process needs the support of professional medical team and modern assisted reproductive technology to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. In the whole process, doctors will develop personalized programs according to the specific conditions of patients to improve the success rate and safety, and also need the support and cooperation of women and couples.
