Flow of IVF
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally. The flow of IVF will be described in detail from four aspects. 1. Select hospitals and doctors
Before IVF, you need to choose a regular reproductive hospital. The following key points should be noted when selecting hospitals:
First, choose a hospital with rich experience and good reputation. Decisions can be made by searching the Internet, consulting a doctor or referring to the experience of others.
Secondly, understand the equipment and technical level of the hospital. IVF needs high-precision equipment and professional technical support, so understanding the strength of the hospital is crucial to ensure the success rate.
Finally, interview with the doctor. During the interview, the doctor can be consulted about the specific process, success rate and possible risks of IVF use, so as to better understand the doctor's professional level and sense of trust.
2. Physical examination and preliminary examination
After selecting the hospital and doctor, the next step is to conduct physical examination and preliminary examination to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
Physical examination generally includes the following aspects:
First of all, women need to undergo endocrine examination, uterus and ovary examination to assess their ovarian function and fertility potential.
Secondly, men need to conduct semen examination to understand their sperm quality and quantity, so as to evaluate whether they are suitable for IVF.
Finally, both sides also need to carry out genetic examination to avoid genetic diseases.
3. Egg collection and sperm collection
After the physical examination and preliminary examination, if the couple meets the requirements of IVF, the next step is egg collection and sperm collection.
Egg collection is generally carried out on the 11-14 days of the woman's menstrual cycle. The doctor will take out the eggs through vaginal puncture through ultrasonic guidance and local anesthesia.
Sperm collection usually adopts manual sperm discharge or artificial pregnancy aid. Before collection, men should pay attention to taboos, such as smoking cessation, alcohol abstinence and avoiding overwork.
The collected eggs and sperm need to be cultured and processed in a precise laboratory to ensure the improvement of fertilization rate and implantation rate.
4. Embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring
After in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs, doctors will culture the fertilized eggs for several days, and select the best quality embryos for transplantation.
The process of embryo transfer is generally carried out 3-5 days after fertilization. Doctors will use a thin tube to transfer the embryo into a woman's uterus, which does not require general anesthesia.
After transplantation, couples need to wait about two weeks for pregnancy determination. If the test result is positive, it means the IVF transplantation is successful.
During the pregnancy monitoring phase, doctors will regularly carry out B ultrasound examination, blood examination, etc. to ensure the normal development of embryos and the stability of pregnancy.
Summary
The process of IVF includes selecting hospitals and doctors, physical examination and preliminary examination, egg collection and sperm collection, as well as embryo transfer and pregnancy monitoring. Through these processes, couples can fully understand their own fertility situation, and through the professional technology and equipment of the hospital, they can help successfully realize their fertility aspirations. Choosing a regular hospital and experienced doctors is the key to the success of IVF. I hope that every couple who want to have children can realize their good wishes in life through IVF technology.
