Flow time of IVF

Test tube baby () refers to the process of combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory and cultivating embryos through in vitro fertilization technology, and then transplanting the embryos into the female uterus, so that couples who cannot conceive naturally can achieve fertility. The process time of IVF includes preparatory work, medical examination, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Next, this process will be elaborated from different aspects.

1. Preliminary preparations

Before IVF, couples need to go to formal fertility hospitals for consultation and evaluation. The doctor will inquire about the couple's marriage and childbearing history in detail to understand the basic information such as treatment needs and medical history. At the same time, doctors will also conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the couple, including blood routine examination, reproductive system examination, sex hormone level test, etc. This phase usually takes several days. Next, the couple needs to carry out relevant inspection items, such as salpingography, sperm quality inspection, etc. These tests help doctors evaluate whether couples are suitable for IVF. In addition, couples also need psychological counseling to understand whether they can adapt to the pressure and challenges of IVF. The whole preparatory work usually takes several weeks.

2. Medical examination

In order to ensure the success rate of IVF, women need to inject ovulation promoting drugs to promote ovarian development and produce multiple mature eggs. This process usually takes 2-3 cycles. At the same time, doctors will determine the development of eggs and the appropriate time for egg retrieval through ultrasonic examination. Men need to provide fresh semen samples or semen cryopreservation. Semen samples will be processed by professional laboratories, and high-quality sperm and eggs will be used for in vitro fertilization.

3. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture

After the collection of mature female eggs, doctors will use in vitro fertilization technology to combine eggs with sperm, so that they can develop into embryos in the laboratory. In vitro fertilization usually uses two methods: conventional in vitro fertilization and ICSI (single sperm injection technique). In vitro fertilization and embryo culture usually take 3-5 days. The doctor will carefully observe the development of the embryo and select the healthiest one or more embryos to transplant into the female uterus. This process is usually carried out after 3-5 days of embryo culture.

4. Embryo transfer and observation

Embryo transfer refers to the implantation of the cultivated embryos into the uterus of women through uterine catheters or minimally invasive surgery. The operation is usually performed at an appropriate time in a woman's menstrual cycle. After transplantation, women need a period of rest and observation to improve the probability of embryo implantation. Usually, 10 to 14 days after embryo transfer, women need to have a blood HCG test to determine whether they are pregnant. If the results show pregnancy, women need more tests to ensure the stability and health of the pregnancy. From preliminary preparation to embryo transfer and observation, the whole IVF process usually takes 3 to 6 months. However, the actual time may vary due to individual differences and hospital processes. Therefore, couples should communicate and understand with doctors in detail before IVF, so as to make psychological and life preparations in advance.
