Detailed explanation of IVF process

IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. The flow of IVF will be described in detail below, and some details that users may need to know will be provided.

Preparation phase

Before IVF, couples need to make a series of preparations. They need to choose a clinic or hospital specializing in IVF to ensure that the medical institution has legal qualifications and professional facilities. At the initial diagnosis stage, the couple will have a detailed consultation and evaluation with the doctor, including information about relevant medical history, living habits and genetic diseases. Doctors also conduct a series of physical examinations and laboratory tests to assess whether couples are suitable for IVF. After the initial diagnosis, the couple will enter the next stage - treatment plan formulation. The program will be customized according to the specific conditions and causes of the couple, including drug treatment, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation.

Drug therapy and egg collection

Drug therapy is an important part of IVF. On the basis of controlling the ovarian cycle, doctors will develop personalized medication programs for female patients according to specific conditions. The purpose is to promote the development of multiple follicles and improve the success rate of fertilization. Generally, patients inject a drug called ovulation promoting drug every day, which makes the ovary discharge multiple follicles, thus providing multiple fertilization opportunities. Medication usually lasts 10 to 14 days. When the ovaries have grown to an appropriate size, the doctor will start the egg collection operation. Follicles were monitored by ultrasound before surgery. During the operation, the doctor will guide a long and thin puncture needle into the ovary to extract the eggs in the follicle one by one. The whole process is generally completed within 30 minutes and carried out under anesthesia.

In vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation

After egg collection, in vitro fertilization technology will be used to combine eggs with sperm. This process is usually divided into two methods: traditional IVF and minimally invasive ICSI technology. In IVF, eggs and sperm are directly mixed and cultured, while in ICSI technology, doctors will choose a sperm to inject into the egg. Culture stage is the process of embryo development and maturation in the laboratory. By providing appropriate culture conditions, the embryo will develop naturally in the culture dish until the appropriate time for transplantation is reached. Embryo transfer is the key link in the whole process of IVF. This is usually a simple and painless process, similar to endometrial biopsy. The embryo will be introduced into the uterine cavity through a thin tube, hoping to successfully embed into the endometrium.

Pregnancy monitoring and result evaluation

After embryo transfer, the patient will start pregnancy monitoring, including regular obstetric examination and pregnancy related tests. The doctor will monitor the progress of pregnancy and make necessary adjustments and treatment as needed. Two weeks later, the blood HCG test before embryo implantation can be performed to determine whether pregnancy occurs. If the HCG test results are positive, more serum HCG tests and ultrasound examinations may continue until the embryonic heart starts to beat. In general, the IVF process needs to go through the preparation stage, drug treatment and egg collection, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation, as well as pregnancy monitoring and result evaluation. Through the above steps, many couples have successfully achieved their fertility aspirations.
