Operation process of the second test tube baby
Two child test tube baby refers to the use of test tube baby technology when couples give birth to the second child. Compared with the one fetus test tube baby, the two fetus test tube baby needs more operation steps to ensure the success and safety of the operation. The following is a detailed introduction to the operation process of the second test tube baby from four aspects.
1. Preoperative preparation
Before the operation of the second child IVF, both the husband and wife need to receive a comprehensive physical examination and evaluation. This includes semen analysis of the man and ovarian function evaluation of the woman. The doctor will determine whether the IVF operation can be carried out according to the inspection results, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
If a woman has ovulation problems or insufficient ovarian function, the doctor may recommend using ovulation promoting drugs to increase egg production. In addition, women also need to undergo genetic testing to eliminate potential genetic disease risks.
In the preoperative preparation stage, both the husband and wife need to sign the relevant informed consent form to clearly understand the risks and possible consequences of IVF operation.
2. Take eggs and sperm samples
In the operation of the second test tube baby, women need to take ovulation promoting drugs to increase the production of eggs. Doctors will determine the growth and development of follicles through ultrasonic monitoring. When the follicle develops to an appropriate size, the doctor will use a slender needle to puncture through the vagina to collect the eggs.
At the same time, men need to provide semen samples. Semen will be processed and screened by sperm in the laboratory to select the most dynamic and high-quality sperm.
3. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture
After taking eggs and sperm samples, doctors will conduct in vitro fertilization in the laboratory. This is the process of combining eggs with sperm. Doctors will choose the best fertilization method, which can be traditional IVF or single sperm injection. This ensures the highest fertilization rate.
After successful fertilization, the embryo will enter the culture dish for culture. Doctors will regularly check the development of embryos and evaluate the quality of embryos. In the process of culture, well developed embryos are generally selected for transplantation.
4. Embryo transfer and subsequent observation
After the embryo culture reaches the appropriate stage, the doctor will choose the appropriate time to transfer the embryo back to the female uterus. This is usually done by inserting a catheter into the uterine cavity through the vagina. This step generally does not require anesthesia, but will bring some discomfort to women.
After embryo transfer, women need a period of rest and recovery. The doctor will advise her to avoid strenuous exercise and overwork to improve the success rate of embryo implantation. Next, the couple needs to wait about two weeks for a blood test to determine whether they are pregnant.
After embryo transfer, doctors will also conduct regular observation and inspection. If the pregnancy is successful, the doctor will make a personalized pregnancy care plan according to the specific situation to ensure the health of the mother and baby.
Summary:
Two child IVF is a complex and sophisticated medical technology, including a series of operational steps such as preoperative preparation, egg and sperm sampling, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, embryo transfer and follow-up observation. These steps need to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure the safety and success of the operation. Two child test tube babies provide a choice for couples who want to continue their families, helping them realize their desire to have another child. However, each couple's situation is unique, so personalized treatment plans need to be formulated according to the specific situation.
