The whole process of IVF

IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to fertility barriers to achieve their desire for pregnancy and childbirth. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a method of combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory, cultivating embryos, and then implanting them into the mother to achieve pregnancy and delivery. The following will elaborate on the whole process of IVF from four aspects: egg collection, in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and pregnancy management.

1. Collect eggs

The first step of IVF is to collect eggs. First, women are treated with ovulation promoting drugs to promote the simultaneous development of multiple ovarian follicles. Then, under the guidance of the gynaecological clinic of the hospital, the doctor used ultrasound guided injection technology to inject liquid into each mature follicle to collect eggs. Generally speaking, obtaining multiple eggs helps to improve the success rate of pregnancy. Egg collection needs to be carried out in professional medical institutions, such as the reproductive center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The center is equipped with advanced equipment and professional medical team, which can provide high-quality services for patients.

2. In vitro fertilization

After collecting eggs, doctors will conduct in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs provided by men in the laboratory. The egg and sperm will be cultured and combined in a culture dish to form a fertilized egg and further develop into an embryo. Normally, doctors will choose the healthiest and most vigorous embryos for transplantation to increase the probability of successful pregnancy. In vitro fertilization needs to be carried out in a sterile environment to ensure the safety and health of embryos. Most reproductive hospitals have special laboratories that provide in vitro fertilization technology and facilities, such as the reproductive center of Shanghai Long March Hospital.

3. Embryo transfer

After culture and development, the doctor will choose the best time to implant the embryo into the female uterus. The implantation process is usually very simple and painless, and doctors will use a thin tube to send the embryo directly into the uterine cavity. Embryo transfer is the most critical step in the whole IVF process, and also the link that can most affect the success rate of pregnancy. Professional reproductive centers and the accumulation of doctors' experience are important guarantees for successful transplantation.

4. Pregnancy management

Once the embryo is successfully implanted, women will conduct pregnancy management under the guidance of doctors. Doctors will make corresponding pregnancy plans according to the development of embryos and the physical condition of the mother, including diet, rest, medication and other guidance. The purpose of pregnancy management is to ensure the health of embryos and mothers. The doctor will conduct regular prenatal examination, ultrasonic examination, etc. to ensure the normal progress of the pregnancy process. The whole process of IVF includes egg collection, in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer and pregnancy management. Carrying out these steps under the guidance of professional reproductive centers and doctors can enable many couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. The development of IVF technology has brought hope and joy to countless families.
