What is IVF?
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), a kind of assisted reproductive technology, aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. This technology is to complete the process of fertilization and embryo culture in an in vitro artificial environment, and finally transfer the appropriate embryo back to the female uterus, making it pregnant and successfully delivering a healthy baby.
The steps of IVF technology usually include the following key steps:
First, women use ovulation promoting drugs to stimulate ovarian ovulation, so that multiple follicles can be discharged. Then, eggs are collected through in vitro surgery, and men provide sperm samples, which are treated and fertilized with eggs in vitro. Next, the successfully fertilized embryos are cultured for several days until they reach the appropriate development stage. Finally, appropriate embryos will be transferred back to the uterus of a woman, expecting pregnancy and successful delivery.
What is AMH inspection?
AMH (Anti M ü llerian Hormone) test is a blood testing method, which aims to evaluate the ovarian function and follicle reserve of women. This is achieved by measuring the concentration of anti Miller line hormone in the blood, which is produced by women's ovarian tissue, and its level can reflect women's ovarian reserve.
In general, AMH inspection can provide the following information:
1. Ovarian reserve: AMH level can reflect the number of undeveloped follicles in women's ovaries, so as to evaluate the number of women's remaining eggs.
2. Ovarian functional status: By checking the level of AMH, we can preliminarily assess the functional status of women's ovaries and guide doctors to develop personalized assisted reproductive technology programs.
3. Prediction of ovarian response: AMH level is highly sensitive to ovarian response. Before assisted reproductive technology, women can predict their response to ovulation through AMH examination to help doctors adjust appropriate medication programs.
IVF assisted technology
IVF technology uses a variety of auxiliary technologies to improve the pregnancy rate and fertility success rate.
1. In vitro fertilization (IVF): IVF is the core step of IVF technology, which combines eggs and sperm in an artificial environment. In addition, sometimes the process of ovarian ovulation and embryo culture is assisted by means of embryo incubator, hormone replacement and supportive treatment.
2. Single embryo transfer (SET): In order to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy and improve the success rate of pregnancy, doctors can decide to transfer only a single healthy embryo into the female uterus, rather than multiple embryos.
3. Frozen embryo transfer (FET): For pregnancy difficulties caused by some reasons, doctors can decide to freeze the surplus embryos successfully cultivated and transfer frozen embryos at an appropriate time to improve the pregnancy success rate.
4. Additional technologies: depending on the specific situation, doctors may use other auxiliary technologies, such as embryo screening, embryo culture time extension, micro fertilization, etc., to improve the success rate of pregnancy and delivery.
summary
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology for couples who cannot conceive naturally. It helps couples realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. AMH examination is an effective method to measure female ovarian function and follicular reserve. IVF technology relies on a variety of auxiliary technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, single embryo transfer, frozen embryo transfer and additional technologies to improve the fertility success rate. Through the application of these technologies, IVF technology has brought hope and joy to couples who cannot conceive naturally.
