The first generation of IVF needs to be examined
In vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer (ET) is a method of assisted pregnancy, which is widely used in infertility treatment. For the first generation of IVF, in order to ensure the quality of embryos and the health of mothers, doctors need to carry out a series of inspections and monitoring throughout the process. Next, we will elaborate on what tests should be done for the first generation of IVF from four aspects.
Reproductive health examination
In the preparation stage of IVF, it is first necessary to conduct a comprehensive check on the reproductive health of couples. This includes gynecological examination of women to understand ovarian function, uterine status and whether there is tubal obstruction. At the same time, male semen was examined to assess the number, vitality and morphology of sperm. If potential reproductive health problems are found, doctors will formulate corresponding treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, blood tests, including sex hormone level test, ovulation function evaluation and thyroid function test, are also needed to ensure that women are in good health and have good pregnancy conditions.
In vitro fertilization process monitoring
The key step of IVF is in vitro fertilization. In this process, doctors need to monitor the development of eggs and the quality of sperm. First of all, through ultrasonic examination and blood hormone monitoring, determine the best pregnancy time. Then, the eggs are taken out by puncture technology or ultrasound-guided ovarian puncture. At the same time, the sperm samples provided by the man will be processed and screened to obtain high-quality sperm. Doctors combine sperm with eggs and culture them. During this process, doctors will regularly check the development of the embryo to ensure its normal growth.
If slow or abnormal embryo development is found, the doctor may decide whether to carry out embryo improvement or select a better embryo for transfer. These monitoring and judgments will further improve the success rate of IVF.
Monitoring after embryo transfer
After the embryo transfer, the doctor continues to monitor the condition of the pregnant woman to ensure the good development of the embryo and the success of the pregnancy. Usually, the doctor will monitor the blood hormone for women, observe the changes of hormone levels, and judge whether the pregnancy is successful. Once the pregnancy is established, the doctor will conduct regular ultrasound examination to evaluate the development, morphology, heartbeat and other indicators of the embryo. In addition, doctors will carry out other imaging examinations, such as placental function monitoring and endometrial thickness assessment, according to the specific conditions and needs of women, to ensure the health of mothers and embryos.
Regular prenatal examination during pregnancy
Once the IVF baby is successfully pregnant, the pregnant woman will enter the normal pregnancy period. At this time, it is necessary to conduct regular prenatal examination to ensure the safety of mother and baby. Prenatal examination includes blood pressure measurement, urine analysis, blood examination and ultrasound examination, which are used to monitor the health of pregnant women, fetal development and any potential complications. These examinations are very important for early detection and treatment of possible problems of pregnant women and fetuses to ensure the smooth progress of pregnancy and the healthy growth of fetuses.
summary
The first generation of IVF needs a series of examinations and monitoring to ensure the quality of embryos and the health of mothers. These examinations include reproductive health examination, in vitro fertilization process monitoring, monitoring after embryo transfer, and regular prenatal examination during pregnancy. Through these examinations, doctors can find and deal with any possible problems in time to improve the success rate of IVF and the health status of mothers and infants.
