Treatment cycle
The First IVF Center is a professional medical institution dedicated to assisted reproductive technology, providing high-quality IVF treatment services for infertile patients. The arrival of the baby is a miracle of happiness for every couple, but for some couples who cannot conceive successfully due to physiological reasons, IVF technology has become one of their hopes to realize their dreams. However, for many people, the first time to understand the treatment cycle of IVF is full of doubts and uncertainties. This article will introduce how long the treatment cycle of the First IVF Center will take from different aspects.
Patient assessment and preparation
Before IVF treatment, doctors in the First IVF Center need to conduct a comprehensive assessment of patients to understand their physical conditions and the causes of fertility disorders. The assessment process usually includes medical history consultation, physical examination, routine laboratory test and imaging examination. Patients also need to complete a detailed questionnaire so that doctors can better understand their family history, lifestyle and psychological status.
According to the evaluation results, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan for the patient, including medication plan, surgical arrangement and baby selection. Patients also need psychological counseling to reduce anxiety and stress and improve the chances of successful treatment. The whole assessment and preparation process usually takes 2-4 weeks.
Superovulation and egg retrieval
Superovulation is the first step of IVF treatment. Patients will be treated with drugs according to the doctor's instructions to promote the ovarian production of multiple follicles. This process requires close monitoring of ovarian response, usually through blood hormone level measurement and ultrasound examination. Generally speaking, the superovulation process lasts for 7-10 days.
When the follicle reaches the appropriate size, the doctor will arrange an egg retrieval operation. In the operating room, with the help of ultrasound guidance, doctors use a slender needle to puncture the follicle and take out the eggs. This process usually takes 20-30 minutes and is carried out under anesthesia. After taking the eggs, they will be sent to the laboratory for fertilization.
Embryo culture and transfer
In the laboratory, the egg after taking the egg will combine with the sperm to form a fertilized egg. These fertilized eggs will be cultured in a petri dish in order to develop into embryos. The doctor will decide how many days to cultivate, usually 3-6 days, according to the quantity and quality of the fertilized eggs and the condition of the patient.
On the last day of embryo culture, doctors will select one or more embryos with the most development potential for transplantation. The transplantation process is similar to the abdominal B-ultrasound examination, usually without anesthesia. After transplantation, patients need to rest and take proper rest according to the doctor's suggestions. After two weeks, the patient will have a blood test to determine if she is pregnant.
Summary
To sum up, the treatment cycle of the First IVF Center usually takes 6-8 weeks. This cycle involves multiple stages such as patient assessment and preparation, superovulation and oocyte retrieval, embryo culture and transplantation. Each stage needs to be carefully observed and evaluated to provide patients with the best treatment plan. Although the cycle lasts for a long time, through the guidance of doctors and the active cooperation of patients, IVF technology is still a successful choice for couples who cannot successfully conceive.
