Steps of IVF

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their fertility aspirations through in vitro fertilization. This technology has achieved great success in the medical field, and more and more couples have successfully welcomed new life through IVF technology. Next, we will introduce the steps of IVF and the process of giving birth.

1. Preparation stage

In the process of IVF, women need to receive a series of treatments to promote the development of eggs. From the second day of the menstrual cycle, hormone drugs are used to control ovarian function and promote the development of multiple follicles. Doctors will regularly carry out ultrasonic examination to monitor the development of follicles. Once the follicles reach the proper size, the second stage of preparation will begin. Next, ovulation is guided by a drug called chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This drug can make the ovaries release mature eggs to prepare for subsequent fertilization.

2. Fertilization stage

Within 36 hours after a woman's ovary releases an egg, the doctor will extract the egg. This is usually a simple operation conducted in the operating room by drawing eggs through a needle guided by vaginal ultrasound. Sometimes anesthesia may also be required. At the same time, men need to provide semen samples. If men cannot provide semen for some reason, they can obtain sperm through sperm extraction technology. Doctors will grow sperm and eggs together in vitro in a test tube to allow fertilization to occur. At this time, the fertilized eggs will continue to be cultured in the laboratory until they reach the appropriate development stage.

3. Migration phase

Generally speaking, the newly fertilized egg will be transplanted at the stage of 2-5 days' development. The doctor will use a soft catheter to transplant the fertilized egg into the female uterus. This process usually requires no anesthesia and does not cause too much pain. After transplantation, women need a period of rest to help implantation. If the transfer is successful, the fertilized egg will be implanted in the uterus and continue to develop into a fetus. Doctors will also give women some hormone drugs to increase the probability of embryo implantation. Usually within two weeks after transplantation, a blood test can be performed to confirm pregnancy.

4. Pregnancy

Once the pregnancy is confirmed, women will begin to receive prenatal examination and care to ensure the health of mother and baby. During pregnancy, women need to follow the doctor's advice, carry out pregnancy tests regularly, eat reasonably and keep a good attitude. At the end of pregnancy, through normal childbirth or caesarean section, the baby will come to this world.

summary

IVF technology provides a choice for couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons to achieve their reproductive aspirations. It involves multiple steps, including preparation stage, fertilization stage, transplantation stage and pregnancy stage. Each step needs the guidance and assistance of a doctor to ensure that the goal of pregnancy is successfully achieved. Although the IVF process may take some time and energy, it provides hope and opportunities for couples who are eager to become parents.
