Process of VIP IVF
VIP test tube baby (VIP test tube baby) is a process to help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations through assisted reproductive technology. The specific process of VIP IVF will be introduced below.
Phase I: Diagnosis and evaluation
In the process of VIP IVF, the first stage is the diagnosis and evaluation stage. Both husband and wife first need to go to a formal reproductive hospital for a comprehensive physical examination and disease assessment to determine whether it is suitable for IVF. Doctors will check the reproductive system functions and hormone levels of both sides, and screen for genetic diseases.
Then, doctors will carry out more detailed inspections, such as tubal patency inspection, endometrial inspection, sperm quality inspection, etc., to ensure that there are no other potential problems in the reproductive system or physical conditions of both spouses. In addition, the doctor will also evaluate the psychological status and living habits of the couple to ensure that they have the psychological and physiological preparations for IVF.
Finally, the doctor will work with the husband and wife to develop and establish a treatment plan based on the above inspection and evaluation results. They will explain the whole process of IVF, including possible risks and success rates.
Stage II: ovulation guidance and egg collection
At this stage, women need to inject hormone drugs to stimulate ovarian development and ovulation. Doctors will determine the best hormone program according to women's specific conditions and needs.
During hormone treatment, the doctor will conduct regular ultrasound examination and blood test to monitor the growth of follicles and changes in hormone levels. Once the follicle reaches the proper size and number, the doctor will arrange the follicle puncture operation.
Egg collection is a minimally invasive process, which is carried out under local anesthesia. The doctor will use a slender needle to enter the ovary through the vagina to extract mature eggs. These eggs will be immediately transferred to the laboratory for subsequent processing.
Stage 3: sperm extraction and in vitro fertilization
At this stage, men need to provide fresh sperm samples or cryopreservation of sperm. If the semen quality is poor, the doctor may recommend a sperm extraction operation.
In the laboratory, doctors place eggs and sperm in a culture dish for in vitro fertilization. The nutrient solution in this dish provides appropriate conditions to promote fertilization and cultivate the fertilized eggs to develop into embryos.
About one to five days later, the embryo enters an appropriate stage of development. At this time, the doctor can choose to implant one or more embryos into the woman's uterus.
Stage 4: embryo implantation and pregnancy monitoring
At this stage, the doctor will discuss the number and time of embryo implantation with the couple. The number of embryos implanted may be one or more, depending on the couple's situation and the doctor's advice.
Embryo implantation is a simple and painless process under the guidance of doctors. The doctor will use a slender tube to carefully place the embryo in the uterus. Then, the couple will enter the stage of waiting for the pregnancy results.
Generally speaking, progesterone in the blood of pregnant women can be detected about two weeks after implantation to confirm whether pregnancy occurs. If the pregnancy is confirmed, the doctor will conduct further monitoring and prenatal care to ensure the normal development of the embryo and safe pregnancy.
summary
The process of VIP IVF mainly includes: diagnosis and evaluation stage, ovulation guidance and egg collection stage, sperm extraction and in vitro fertilization stage, as well as embryo implantation and pregnancy monitoring stage. Through scientific assisted reproductive technology and professional medical team, many infertile couples can realize their reproductive dreams.
