How does IVF implantation proceed?
IVF refers to the process of implanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus through an assisted reproductive technology after the fertilized eggs are cultured in the laboratory to an appropriate time. Today, we will introduce the specific process of IVF implantation in detail.
First, before the IVF implantation process, the doctor will conduct a series of examinations on the woman to ensure that her uterus and ovary function well. At the same time, male semen analysis is also needed to assess the quality of sperm. If the results meet the requirements, the implantation process can begin.
Second, the doctor will determine the time of implantation of the fertilized egg according to the physiological cycle of the woman. Generally, from the 14th day of a woman's natural menstrual cycle, the doctor will monitor the development of the follicle and determine the optimal implantation time of the fertilized egg. This is usually done by ultrasonic examination and blood hormone determination.
Third, before implantation, the doctor will take the fertilized egg out of the culture dish and transfer it to a slender, round headed plastic tube with a thin tube. The upper end of the plastic tube is a microscope with a series of cameras, which can observe the position and process of the egg. The doctor will use a special guide wire to insert the plastic tube into the woman's uterus, and finally release the fertilized egg into the uterine cavity.
Step 4: The implantation does not require anesthesia, usually without pain, but may cause some discomfort on the same day. Doctors usually advise patients to take a rest after implantation to avoid strenuous activities.
What should we pay attention to after the success of the test tube?
After successful IVF implantation, patients need to pay special attention to the following aspects.
First, even if the implantation is successful, abortion or other complications may occur. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient continue to carry out regular prenatal examination according to the doctor's recommendations to ensure the healthy development of the baby.
Secondly, patients need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, moderate exercise and adequate rest. In addition, avoid substances harmful to embryonic development such as tobacco and alcohol.
Third, IVF usually needs progesterone or other hormone replacement therapy after implantation to promote the continuation of pregnancy. Patients need to follow the doctor's instructions for drug treatment, and regularly review to ensure the effect of treatment.
Finally, spiritual support is also very important. The process of IVF may bring some pressure and emotional fluctuations to patients. Patients can seek psychological counselors or join relevant support groups to share and communicate with other people with similar experiences.
summary
IVF implantation is an assisted reproductive technology that develops into a baby by implanting a fertilized egg into the uterus. The implantation process is divided into four steps: preparation, time determination, operation and rest. After successful implantation, patients need to pay attention to prenatal examination, healthy lifestyle, medication and psychological support. IVF technology has brought new fertility hope to infertile couples, and has achieved fruitful results in practice.
