tube baby
In vitro fertilization (IVF) baby, also known as in vitro fertilization (IVF) baby, is a reproductive method that combines and cultivates eggs and sperm in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology, and then transfers the embryo to the mother's uterus to develop into a baby. The birth of IVF technology provides a chance for couples who cannot conceive naturally to realize their dreams of procreation.
Steps of IVF
The process of IVF can generally be divided into the following steps:
Step 1: Ovulation. Use hormone drugs to promote ovarian development and increase the chance of ovulation, so as to collect enough eggs.
Step 2: Egg collection. Using ultrasound guided acupuncture technology, the test colposcope was introduced into the uterus to collect eggs by adsorption.
Step 3: Sperm extraction. Generally, semen is extracted by pressing with fingers, and then the sperm is separated from semen by centrifuge.
Step 4: In vitro fertilization. Combine the collected eggs and sperm in the laboratory to promote fertilization.
Step 5: Embryo culture. The successful rate of transfer is higher when the fertilized eggs are cultured until the embryo develops to the blastocyst stage.
Step 6: Embryo transfer. The cultured embryo is inserted into the fallopian tube through the uterus and then allowed to naturally develop into a baby.
Precautions for IVF
Whether mentally or physically, the IVF process is a challenge for both spouses. Here are some considerations:
First of all, both husband and wife need to receive a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF.
Secondly, in vitro fertilization needs some financial support, because the whole process includes drug costs, surgery costs and follow-up examination costs.
Thirdly, IVF needs the active cooperation and patience of both husband and wife. The whole process may require multiple attempts, and the success rate is not high.
Finally, both husband and wife should pay attention to psychological adjustment and not give themselves too much pressure. Try to keep a good attitude and have a positive expectation of success, but also be prepared for failure.
