How long will the three generations of IVF suffer?

IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples with fertility difficulties to achieve fertility. However, many people are concerned about whether the third-generation IVF babies will experience pain in the whole process and how long this pain will last. This article will elaborate on this from four aspects.

Physical examination and special examination

Before IVF, couples need to undergo a series of physical examinations and special examinations to assess their fertility and physical condition. These examinations include blood examination, endocrine examination, sperm and egg quality assessment, etc. Most tests do not cause pain, just draw blood or take samples. However, some special examinations may require couples to perform uncomfortable examination operations, such as salpingography, hysteroscopy, etc. These operations may cause mild pain and discomfort, but they usually last for a short time, usually several minutes to several hours.

Superovulation and egg retrieval

Superovulation refers to the use of drugs to stimulate the ovaries of women to grow multiple follicles in a cycle. This process may cause mild abdominal distension and discomfort, but will not cause obvious pain. Egg retrieval is an important part of IVF procedure, which is to take out mature eggs. The process of egg retrieval is usually carried out under anesthesia, so the process itself will not bring pain. However, there may be abdominal distension and slight abdominal pain after surgery, which usually disappear within 1-2 days.

Fertilization and embryo transfer

Fertilization refers to in vitro fertilization of collected eggs and sperm. This process is usually completed in the laboratory, and couples themselves do not directly feel pain. Subsequently, the fertilized egg will continue to be cultured until it develops into an embryo. Embryo transfer is to transfer the selected embryos into the uterus of a woman in the hope of successful implantation. This process is usually painless, without obvious pain.

Waiting and pregnancy

After the IVF procedure, couples need to wait for a period of time to test whether the pregnancy is successful. This waiting process may bring anxiety and tension to the couple, but there is no obvious physical pain. If the pregnancy is successful, the baby will be born.

In summary, there was no obvious pain lasting for a long time in the procedure of the third generation IVF. Couples may experience temporary discomfort and pain during some special examinations and operations, but these discomfort are generally acceptable. The real pain of IVF is more the anxiety and tension of couples waiting for the results. In the end, when the couple welcomes their baby, the pain will become insignificant.
