How was the test tube baby Bey born?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive method that can successfully realize pregnancy and delivery by culturing the fertilized egg to a stage of good development through in vitro fertilization technology, and then transplanting the fertilized egg into the mother's uterus. A successful IVF process involves several important steps.
1. In vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the first step of IVF birth, which is carried out in a professional assisted reproductive technology center. Doctors will collect female eggs and male sperm, and then conduct in vitro fertilization in the laboratory. First of all, doctors will conduct ovulation induction treatment for women to produce more eggs. Then, under the guidance of ultrasound, doctors will use fine needles to extract eggs from women's ovaries. At the same time, men will provide semen samples. Next, laboratory technicians put eggs and sperm in a petri dish for culture to promote the formation of fertilized eggs.
The success rate of IVF depends on the quality of eggs and sperm, as well as the operating skills of laboratory technicians. Once the fertilization is successful, the next step will be taken.
2. Embryo culture
After in vitro fertilization, the fertilized eggs will be further cultured in the laboratory incubator. The incubator provides temperature, humidity and nutrients suitable for embryo development. During this process, laboratory technicians will regularly observe the development of the fertilized egg to ensure the health of the embryo. According to the assessment of development, doctors will select the best embryo for transplantation.
The time of embryo culture is usually between 2-5 days, which depends on the development rate of the fertilized egg. Only well developed embryos can be selected for transplantation into the mother's uterus.
3. Embryo transfer
After the embryo culture, the doctor will transfer the selected embryo into the mother's uterus. This is the most important step in the process of IVF birth. The process of transplantation often needs to be guided by ultrasound. The doctor will insert a thin tube into the mother's cervix and carefully place the embryo into the uterine cavity. After embryo transfer, the doctor will give the mother some necessary drug support to promote embryo implantation and pregnancy.
After embryo transfer, the mother should have a rest for a period of time to improve the success rate of embryo implantation. After successful embryo implantation, the mother can experience the joy of pregnancy.
4. Pregnancy and childbirth
Once the IVF is successfully implanted, the mother begins the normal pregnancy process. She will receive regular prenatal tests to ensure the development of the embryo and the health of the mother. During the whole pregnancy, the mother needs to follow the doctor's advice and take the required drugs and supplements on time.
When the fetus develops to full term, the mother will experience a normal delivery process, bringing the IVF to the world. The birth of test tube babies marks the success of this assisted reproductive process. Mother and family will welcome their baby.
Summary
The birth of test tube baby Beiyi has gone through four main steps: in vitro fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer and pregnancy and delivery. This process requires careful operation and monitoring by professional doctors and laboratory technicians. Through these steps, many infertile couples have realized their dream of having their own children. The continuous development of IVF technology will bring hope and joy to more couples who cannot conceive naturally.
