How long does Huangshan test tube baby take?
Test tube baby, also known as in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), is a reproductive technology that combines female eggs and male sperm in vitro, cultivates them into embryos, and then transplants them into female uterus. Huangshan City, as one of the famous tourist cities in China, also has many regular hospitals providing IVF services. So, how long does it take for Huangshan IVF?
Treatment cycle:
IVF treatment usually requires multiple cycles. It takes about 4-6 weeks for each cycle from female ovulation to embryo transfer or cryopreservation to the transfer window. Therefore, in general, it may take about 3 months from the start of treatment to the outcome of pregnancy.
First, women need to conduct basic examinations and assessments to determine whether IVF treatment is appropriate. This includes gynecological examination, hormone examination, hysteroscopy, etc. If other unsuitable factors are found, the treatment cycle may need to be extended.
Secondly, women receive treatment with ovulation promoting drugs to promote the development and growth of eggs. This process usually takes 10-14 days. During this period, the follicular size needs to be rechecked regularly to adjust the drug dosage. When the follicle develops to the appropriate size, the doctor will arrange an egg retrieval operation.
The egg retrieval operation usually requires intravenous anesthesia, which lasts about 20-30 minutes. Doctors puncture the ovary and use a catheter to remove the eggs. You may need to rest for a day or two after surgery, and then you can resume normal life.
After taking eggs, female eggs and male sperm combine to form embryos. The time of embryo culture is generally 3-5 days. During this period, doctors will evaluate the quality and quantity of embryos. If the embryo is well developed, it can be transferred, or it can be frozen.
Frozen embryos:
Frozen embryo is a common method in IVF technology. The advantage of frozen embryos is that they can be used in the future cycle, avoiding repeated operations and other uncomfortable processes. In some hospitals in Huangshan City, the frozen embryo team will freeze the embryos for at least 2 years.
The cycle of frozen embryos is shorter than that of fresh embryos. Generally speaking, women only need to prepare the endometrium, exclude hormone adjustment and ovum retrieval procedures. Therefore, it generally takes only 2-4 cycles from preparation to embryo transfer.
Success rate:
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the age of women, the quality of eggs and sperm, and the condition of uterus. According to statistical data, the success rate of IVF in many hospitals in Huangshan City is about 30% - 50%.
It is worth noting that even in the successful cycle, 100% pregnancy success rate cannot be guaranteed. Implantation failure and early abortion may occur. Therefore, patients need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, work closely with doctors, and make appropriate adjustments and treatment.
Summary:
Huangshan IVF usually requires multiple cycles, and the whole treatment process from basic examination to IVF embryo transfer may take about 3 months. The treatment cycle of frozen embryos is relatively short, generally only 2-4 cycles. The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors. Patients need to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and work closely with doctors.
