The process of IVF C3
IVF is a method of assisted reproduction through in vitro fertilization, which is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons. C3 is a common operation mode of IVF. The following will introduce the process of IVF C3 in detail from four aspects: preparation, ovulation control, ovum retrieval and fertilization, embryo culture and transfer.
preparation
In the C3 process of IVF, the first step is to enter a formal and reliable hospital, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. During consultation, the doctor will evaluate the couple according to their specific conditions, including age, women's menstrual cycle, male semen quality and other factors. The doctor will collect relevant information, conduct physical examination and various examinations to ensure that the couple is in good health and can carry out IVF operation.
In addition to physical examination, couples also need psychological counseling to understand the specific situation of IVF process and fully communicate their expectations and concerns. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the couple's psychological state is good and can actively face the possible difficulties and setbacks in the whole process.
After the preparation is completed, the doctor will make a personalized treatment plan according to the couple's situation, including medication plan and inspection arrangement.
Control ovulation
In order to improve the success rate of IVF, doctors will regulate the ovulation cycle of couples through drugs. Specifically, women will receive ovulation induction treatment, usually through subcutaneous injection of hormone drugs to stimulate ovarian ovulation, while closely monitoring the growth of follicles. Doctors will predict the best time for ovulation according to the size and number of follicles.
In order to ensure the success rate of pregnancy, doctors may also provide other auxiliary treatment, such as auxiliary cycle support treatment, to increase the probability of pregnancy.
To control the ovulation process, couples need to go to the hospital regularly for inspection and consultation to ensure the effectiveness of drugs and the growth of follicles.
Egg taking and fertilization
Once the follicle grows to the proper size, doctors will use ultrasound guided fine needle puncture technology to extract mature eggs from the ovary. This process is usually carried out under local anesthesia, which is generally not too painful for women.
After taking eggs, immediately enter the laboratory for fertilization. If the man's sperm quality is good, he often chooses to use sperm wrestling or sperm injection to achieve the purpose of fertilization. Doctors will evaluate the success rate of fertilization according to the condition of sperm and eggs, and select the best quality eggs and sperm for fertilization.
After fertilization, the doctor will closely observe the development and quality of the embryo to determine the best time for transplantation.
Embryo culture and transfer
The fertilized embryos need to be cultured in the laboratory, usually for several days. During the process of embryo culture, doctors will determine the best time for transplantation according to the development of the embryo.
The transfer process is usually carried out through hysteroscopy, that is, the embryo is introduced into the uterine cavity of a woman through a thin tube. At this time, doctors will select an appropriate number of embryos for transplantation according to the quality of the embryos. After transplantation, women need proper rest and care to improve the probability of embryo implantation.
The whole process of IVF C3 usually takes several months, and couples need to wait patiently and cooperate with doctors.
Summary
The process of IVF C3 mainly includes preparation, ovulation control, oocyte retrieval and fertilization, embryo culture and transplantation. With the guidance and operation of doctors, couples can realize their childbearing wishes that cannot be achieved by natural pregnancy. Although the whole process may experience some difficulties and setbacks, with the progress of modern medicine, many couples finally succeeded in realizing their dream of childbirth.
