How to know that IVF transplantation has been successful?
Test tube baby transplantation is an assisted reproductive technology, which is a way of hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, for couples receiving IVF transplantation, one of the most concerned issues is how to confirm whether the transplantation is successful. How to know whether IVF transplantation is successful will be elaborated from four aspects.
External clinical manifestations
After successful IVF transplantation, women often have some external clinical manifestations. First of all, women may experience breast changes such as breast pain, nipple darkening, etc. within 2 weeks after the end of menopause. Secondly, women may experience slight vaginal bleeding, which is called implantation bleeding, and is caused by the tearing of the uterine wall when the embryo is implanted. In addition, women may feel tired, emotional fluctuations, increased appetite, and even nausea, vomiting and other pregnant women. These external clinical manifestations may be signs of success of IVF transplantation.
However, these symptoms may not be able to accurately judge the success of IVF transplantation, because these symptoms may also be caused by other factors. Therefore, further checks are needed to determine whether the migration is successful.
Detection of blood HCG concentration
After the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterine wall, the embryo begins to secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). The concentration of HCG in blood can be used to judge whether IVF transplantation is successful or not. Blood HCG concentration can be detected from 10 to 14 days after embryo implantation. If the HCG concentration gradually increases within the expected range, the IVF transplantation is likely to be successful. However, it should be noted that the change of HCG concentration may be different due to individual differences, so it is better to judge it in combination with other tests.
Ultrasonic inspection
Ultrasonic examination is an important means to confirm the success of IVF transplantation. From about 2 to 4 weeks after transplantation, we can observe the thickness and morphological changes of endometrium and whether there are embryonic vesicles through ultrasonic examination. If the endometrial thickness increases, the morphology is normal, and the presence of embryo vesicles is detected, this means that the IVF transfer is likely to be successful. In addition, ultrasound can also determine the number of embryos and whether there are abnormalities, further confirming whether the transfer is successful.
Detection of progesterone level
Progesterone is an important progesterone, which is essential for the maintenance of early pregnancy. After successful transplantation, the female body will begin to secrete progesterone. The success of IVF transplantation can be judged by the level of progesterone. The progesterone level can be detected from 10 to 14 days after embryo implantation. If the progesterone level gradually rises within the expected range, the IVF transplantation is likely to be successful. The change of progesterone level may also be different due to individual differences, so it is still necessary to make a comprehensive judgment in combination with other examinations.
To sum up, the success of IVF transplantation can be more accurately judged by external clinical manifestations, blood HCG concentration detection, ultrasonic examination, progesterone level detection and other means. If the transplant is confirmed to be successful by a professional doctor, couples can welcome the good news of pregnancy.
