The Mechanism of IVF Pregnancy

Test tube baby technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which is usually used to treat infertility. Through in vitro fertilization, it combines eggs and sperm in the laboratory to complete the fertilization process, and then transfers the fertilized eggs back to the mother's uterus to achieve pregnancy and childbirth. The pregnancy mechanism of IVF involves many aspects, including egg collection, sperm treatment, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Egg collection

In the process of IVF, egg collection is a very important step. Generally, women will receive hormone therapy for a period of time to promote ovarian development and improve the success rate of ovulation before receiving assisted reproductive treatment. Generally, after the ovary has developed to a certain extent, doctors will use thin tubes to insert into the uterus and collect eggs through the vagina. This process is usually performed in the operating room and is anesthetized.

After the eggs are collected, they are simply processed and prepared for in vitro fertilization.

Sperm processing

In IVF technology, sperm processing is very important. High quality sperm is usually selected from the semen donated by men for in vitro fertilization. If there are problems with the quantity or quality of sperm in men, they can be solved by sperm donation or cryopreservation. Doctors will obtain high-quality sperm for in vitro fertilization through centrifugation and washing.

In IVF, sperm and egg are usually placed together in a culture dish to promote fertilization.

In vitro fertilization

In vitro fertilization is the core step of IVF. The sperm and eggs are placed in a culture dish to promote fertilization in an appropriate environment. This process usually needs to be carried out in the laboratory, and the resulting fertilized eggs will be further cultivated to a well developed embryo.

The success of IVF depends on many factors, including egg quality, sperm quality, fertilization environment, etc. The professional medical team and equipment play a key role in ensuring the success of IVF.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last and most critical step of IVF technology. Generally speaking, doctors will choose well developed embryos for transplantation. The process of embryo transfer is usually simple, transferring embryos into the uterine cavity through the vagina. If the transfer is successful, the embryo will continue to develop and embed into the endometrium, and eventually develop into a normal pregnancy.

In summary, the pregnancy mechanism of IVF involves egg collection, sperm treatment, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Through scientific operation and medical technology, IVF technology has brought fertility hope to many infertile couples.
