What is IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET). It helps couples who are unable to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams by fertilizing eggs and sperm in the laboratory, cultivating them into embryos, and then transplanting the embryos into women's uterus.
In order to make test tube babies, couples need to go to the maternity hospital for diagnosis and surgery. Next, we will introduce the specific steps and processes of test tube babies in the maternity hospital.
Specific operation steps of IVF
Step 1: Ovulation. After a woman's physical examination, the doctor will recommend an appropriate treatment plan according to her menstrual cycle and personal conditions. Drugs are often used to induce the ovaries to ovulate and produce multiple mature eggs.
Step 2: Take the eggs. During the ovarian ovulation period, doctors will use ultrasound guided fine needle puncture technology to extract eggs. This process usually needs to be carried out in the operating room, and will provide local anesthesia.
Step 3: sperm treatment. While collecting female eggs, men should provide semen samples. The laboratory processes semen to obtain active sperm for fertilization.
Step 4: In vitro fertilization and embryo culture. The obtained eggs and sperm are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory. After successful fertilization, the embryos grow in culture dishes.
Step 5: Embryo transfer. The doctor will choose the right time to transplant the reliable culture into the female uterus. This process does not require surgery, but through vaginal endoscopy, without anesthesia.
Step 6: Luteal support and detection. In order to promote embryo implantation and growth, women need to receive luteal support therapy. At a specific point in time, the doctor will conduct a pregnancy test to determine whether it is successful.
Precautions for IVF
Although the IVF operation is widely accepted and recognized, it still requires both husband and wife to make psychological and physiological preparations and follow the doctor's instructions.
First of all, the maternity hospital will conduct diagnosis and treatment in strict accordance with the cause of disease to ensure that the treatment is targeted. Secondly, the wife needs to develop good living habits, such as quitting smoking, drinking, maintaining a reasonable diet and proper exercise. Finally, couples need to support and encourage each other in the process of IVF, and resolve stress and anxiety.
In general, it is very important to choose a formal and professional maternity hospital for IVF. The equipment of the hospital and the technical level of the doctor will directly determine the safety and success rate of the operation.
