What are the ways of IVF program
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive method that combines sperm and eggs in the laboratory and transfers the fertilized eggs to the mother. In the past decades, IVF technology has been greatly developed and applied. Now, many hospitals and institutions provide different IVF programs to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. The following will elaborate on the ways of IVF program from four aspects.
In vitro fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization is one of the most common IVF programs. This process includes combining sperm and egg in vitro to form a fertilized egg, and then cultivating the fertilized egg in the laboratory until it reaches the development level suitable for transplantation. After transplantation, pregnant women who wish to become pregnant need pregnancy monitoring to ensure the successful insertion of fertilized eggs and embryonic development.
In the process of in vitro fertilization, doctors usually give women ovulation promoting drugs to promote the release of multiple mature eggs from the ovary. These eggs will be collected by follicle puncture technology. Then, the collected eggs and sperm combine in the laboratory to form a fertilized egg.
The success rate of IVF varies with hospitals and individuals, but it is a widely used and mature IVF program. Many hospitals at home and abroad provide in vitro fertilization services, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, etc.
Egg donation and embryo transfer
When women have poor egg quality or cannot ovulate naturally, egg donation programs can be considered. This process involves collecting eggs from a healthy woman's ovary, combining them with sperm, and then transplanting them into the pregnant woman. This requires matching and screening suitable egg donors, and a series of medical examinations.
Embryo transfer is another IVF program for couples who have undergone IVF and produced multiple fertilized eggs. In this case, multiple fertilized eggs will be cultured and stored in the laboratory. Then, select the embryo most likely to be successfully embedded and developed, and transplant it into the uterus of a woman.
Egg donation and embryo transfer programs are provided in some authoritative assisted reproductive institutions in China, such as Shanghai Furen Hospital and Guangzhou Women's Hospital.
In vitro Pregenetic Screening
In vitro pre genetic screening is a test tube baby program for screening certain genetic diseases. This process involves genetic testing of sperm and eggs before in vitro fertilization to exclude fertilized eggs carrying genetic disease genes. This can reduce the risk of genetic diseases and improve the health of IVF.
The IVF pregenetic screening program is provided in some high-level general hospitals in China, such as the Third Hospital of Peking University.
Multiple attempts of single embryo transfer
For those couples who may need to try many times, a single embryo transfer scheme is a feasible option. This program is based on only one embryo per cycle to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies and complications. If the first migration fails, you can try in the next cycle until it succeeds.
Multiple attempts of single embryo transfer are provided in many domestic assisted reproductive hospitals, such as Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Summary
The IVF program has many ways, including in vitro fertilization, egg donation and embryo transfer, pre genetic screening of IVF and multiple attempts of single embryo transfer. These programs are designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, each scheme has its specific application conditions and success rate. Couples should choose the appropriate scheme according to their own conditions, and make a comprehensive evaluation and selection with the help of doctors.
