How is IVF operated?

IVF, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. It is the process of combining the female egg with the male sperm in the laboratory, cultivating the embryo, and then transferring the embryo back to the mother's uterus. The operation process of IVF will be described in detail below.

Egg collection and sperm collection

The first step of IVF is to collect female eggs and male sperm. Women first receive assisted ovulation induction therapy, and inject hormones to promote ovarian development and produce multiple follicles. Then, under the guidance of the doctor, the follicles in the ovary were taken out through the ultrasound guided ovarian puncture technology. This process is usually carried out under local anesthesia, and the whole process lasts about 20 minutes. The collected eggs will be immediately sent to the laboratory for processing. Male sperm is usually obtained by manual ejaculation, electrical stimulation or sperm extraction technology. The obtained sperm will also be sent to the laboratory for further processing and preparation.

In vitro fertilization and embryo culture

In the laboratory, the eggs and sperm collected will be fertilized in vitro. Usually, a certain number of eggs and sperm will be placed in the same culture dish to promote the combination of sperm and eggs. After fertilization, the egg will begin to develop into a fertilized egg. The fertilized egg will undergo cell division and development under special culture conditions in the laboratory, and its quality and development will be monitored. In the process of culture, an appropriate time point is usually selected to select one or two embryos with the best quality for transplantation.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last step in the IVF process. Normally, embryos are transferred after five to six days of culture. This process can be carried out in the operating room, but generally only local anesthesia is required. Doctors will insert thin tubes into the uterus and place carefully selected embryos in the endometrium to achieve embryo implantation.

summary

We can clearly understand the whole process of IVF by elaborating the operation process of IVF. It includes egg collection and sperm acquisition, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, and embryo transfer. These steps need to be carried out with the cooperation of the professional team of the laboratory and hospital to ensure the smooth progress of the whole process. IVF technology provides a viable way for couples who cannot conceive naturally, bringing them hope and happiness.
