How long does Hengyang test tube baby need?
IVF technology is a breakthrough in modern reproductive medicine, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. As an important city in Hunan Province, Hengyang also provides IVF services. But how long does it take for IVF to succeed? Next, we will elaborate from four aspects.
Aspect 1: Inspection and evaluation stage
In the process of IVF treatment, a series of examinations and evaluations are needed first. The time of this stage may vary depending on individual differences. Generally, couples will receive consultation and examination from reproductive endocrinologists to determine whether IVF technology is suitable. These tests include relevant tests in gynecology and andrology, such as tubal patency test, semen analysis, etc. The whole inspection and evaluation phase usually takes about one month.
Next, according to the examination results, the doctor will make a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include drug treatment, ovulation promotion, ovum retrieval process, etc. It usually takes about a week to make a treatment plan.
In general, the inspection and evaluation phase generally takes 1 to 2 months.
Aspect 2: Drug treatment stage
Drug therapy is one of the important links in the process of IVF. The purpose of this stage is to control the ovarian function of women, promote the growth and maturation of follicles, and increase the chance of pregnancy. The specific treatment plan will be adjusted according to individual conditions.
Generally speaking, the duration of drug treatment is relatively long, which takes about 2 weeks to 1 month. During this period, female patients need to go to the hospital regularly for relevant inspection and monitoring to ensure the smooth progress of treatment.
Aspect 3: egg retrieval and fertilization stage
Fetching and fertilization are key steps in IVF process. Egg retrieval refers to the surgical removal of a woman's mature eggs, while fertilization refers to the combination of male sperm and eggs. These two steps are usually completed on the same day.
Ovulation is usually performed 36 hours after ovulation of the female ovary. The operation requires general anesthesia, which lasts about 30 minutes to 1 hour. During this period, doctors will use ultrasound technology to guide ovarian puncture through the vagina to remove eggs.
Subsequently, semen samples were obtained from male spouses and fertilized using in vitro fertilization (IVF) or single sperm injection (ICSI) techniques. After fertilization, the embryo will be cultured in the laboratory for 2 to 6 days until it reaches the best state, and then the embryo will be transferred back to the female uterus.
The whole process of egg retrieval and fertilization lasts for a short time, usually within 1 day.
Aspect 4: Pregnancy and childbirth
Once the embryo is successfully transferred back to the female uterus, if the fertilized egg is successfully implanted, it will enter the pregnancy stage. The duration of pregnancy is usually 40 weeks, which is the same as normal pregnancy.
If a woman succeeds in pregnancy after the IVF cycle, she will conduct prenatal examination and delivery in the usual way. In Hengyang City, there are many qualified hospitals that can provide comprehensive services for pregnant and lying in women. The duration of pregnancy may vary according to individual differences, but generally it is about 9 months.

In general, the whole treatment process of IVF in Hengyang City includes the examination and evaluation stage, drug treatment stage, egg retrieval and fertilization stage, and pregnancy and delivery stage. Depending on individual circumstances, the whole process takes several months to one year. Through doctors' careful guidance and scientific treatment, the success rate of IVF can be significantly improved, and more couples can be helped to successfully realize their reproductive dreams.
