What are the steps and precautions in the whole process of IVF ultra long scheme?
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF and ET) is an assisted reproductive technology designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The test tube baby super long program refers to the test tube baby process after multiple courses of treatment to improve the success rate. The whole process of IVF super long scheme will be introduced in detail below.
1. Physical examination and preparation stage
Before starting the IVF super long program, couples need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination to determine whether the process is suitable. Physical examination includes checking the reproductive system and general health of both parties.
After the physical examination confirms that it is suitable for IVF, couples need to receive psychological counseling to cope with possible emotional fluctuations and stress. They also have to accept disease screening, such as AIDS, syphilis, etc.
In the preparation stage, the couple also need to sign the informed consent form to understand the risks and potential problems in the whole process.
2. Ovulation promotion and egg retrieval stage
In the ultra long IVF program, ovulation promoting drugs are often used to obtain more eggs. Ovulation promoting drugs can stimulate the ovary to produce multiple follicles to increase the chance of pregnancy.
Generally speaking, three days before ovulation, doctors will use ultrasound technology to monitor the development of follicles. Once the follicle is mature, the doctor will arrange the egg retrieval process.
The egg retrieval process is usually carried out in the operating room. Doctors will use ultrasound-guided needles to suck eggs, and then save them in culture dishes.
3. Semen treatment and embryo culture
After taking eggs, the sample room will combine the collected sperm with eggs. This process is usually carried out in test tubes, hence the name "test tube baby".
After the sperm and egg combine, the embryo begins to form. Embryos need to be cultured in petri dishes to ensure their normal development. During the culture process, the quantity and quality of embryos will be monitored and evaluated.
In the process of embryo culture, doctors usually choose the embryo with the most development potential to be transferred to the mother's uterus to improve the success rate of pregnancy. Frozen embryos can be used in subsequent cycles to increase the chance of pregnancy.
4. Embryo transfer and subsequent observation
Embryo transfer is the last step of the IVF super long program. With the help of endometrial thickness monitoring, ultrasound guidance and aspirin and other drugs, doctors will choose embryo transfer at an appropriate time.
After transplantation, couples need to follow the doctor's advice and take psychological and physical rest to increase the chance of pregnancy. After about two weeks, the couple can have a blood pregnancy test to check whether the pregnancy is successful.
It should be noted that the IVF super long program may face some risks and challenges. For example, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, embryo implantation failure, neonatal preterm birth, etc. Therefore, in the whole process, couples need to work closely with doctors and actively cooperate with their suggestions and treatment.
Summary
The whole process of IVF ultra long protocol includes physical examination and preparation, ovulation promotion and oocyte retrieval, semen treatment and embryo culture, as well as embryo transfer and follow-up observation. This process requires close cooperation between the couple and the doctor, and requires patience and persistence. Despite some risks and challenges, the IVF super long program provides hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally.
