Specific steps of test tube babies for women and children
Maternal and child test tube baby is an artificial assisted reproduction technology, which is applicable to couples who cannot conceive through natural ways. The specific steps of maternal and child test tube baby are as follows:
1. Preliminary preparation:
Both spouses need to conduct comprehensive physical examination and genetic testing to ensure that there are no serious genetic diseases or reproductive system diseases. In addition, women need to have an ovarian function test to confirm that the ovarian function is normal, and an ultrasound test to determine whether the uterus and fallopian tubes are normal.
If the examination results are normal, both the husband and the wife need to carry out psychological counseling to understand the process and possible risks of the mother and child IVF, and sign the informed consent form.
2. Egg collection:
During the normal ovulation period of women, doctors will use ultrasound guided needle aspiration technology to remove mature eggs from the ovary. This process is usually carried out in the operating room and usually requires general anesthesia or local anesthesia.
After the eggs are collected, they will be immediately sent to the laboratory for incubation and culture, ready to combine with sperm.
3. Sperm sampling and fertilization:
At the same time as egg collection, men need to provide semen samples. Samples can be processed to extract sperm by manually assisting sperm excretion or collecting semen.
In the laboratory, experienced technicians combine sperm with eggs, usually using in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) technology. After fertilization, the eggs are cultured in a petri dish or incubator until they develop into embryos.
4. Embryo transfer:
The process of embryo culture usually lasts for 3-5 days, and doctors will choose the healthiest embryo for transplantation. Transplantation is usually carried out in the uterine cavity of a woman, using a catheter to place the embryo in the right place.
After the transplantation, the doctor will recommend that women take a rest and may prescribe some drugs, such as progesterone, to help the embryo implantation.
