How to make preparations for IVF more smooth?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a high-tech medical technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. Before IVF, it is very important to carry out the preparation work smoothly. Next, we will discuss how to make preparations for IVF more smoothly from four aspects.
Select the right hospital
Choosing the right hospital is the first step of IVF preparation. First, hospitals with rich experience in IVF should be selected. It is very important to understand the success rate, technical level and professional ability of the medical team of the hospital. For example, XX Hospital is one of the top IVF hospitals in China. It has a medical team composed of well-known experts and successfully leads other hospitals.
Secondly, we should choose a hospital that matches our feelings and ideas. IVF is a long-term and heavy treatment process, and individual differences are also large. Both husband and wife should consider their personal needs and wishes and choose a hospital consistent with their own ideas. At present, some hospitals provide special psychological counseling services to help couples cope with the psychological pressure during the treatment process.
Finally, understanding the facilities and services of the hospital is also an important aspect of choice. IVF babies need to go to the hospital for inspection and surgery many times, so the location, transportation and accommodation conditions of the hospital need to be considered. Some large hospitals also provide considerate services, such as hospitalization, catering and other comprehensive medical services for patients.
Develop scientific personal life and diet plans
In order to improve the success rate of IVF, couples need to develop scientific personal life and diet plans. Reasonable living habits and eating habits can improve the body's immunity and nutritional status, and provide a good environment for the development of embryos.
First of all, we should maintain a good life schedule and mental state. Regular work and rest time and moderate physical activity can help regulate the endocrine system of the body, laying a good foundation for the success of IVF. In addition, we should also learn to relax our mood, reduce work pressure and anxiety.
Secondly, the diet should be balanced and nutritious. Reasonable diet structure and nutrients intake play an important role in the development of embryos. Both husband and wife should try to eat foods rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, such as eggs, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits.
In addition, it is also important to avoid high temperature environment and contact with harmful substances. High temperature will have adverse effects on sperm vitality, while teratogenic substances will affect the normal development of embryos. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid taking a bath for a long time, using overheated water bags, etc., and try to avoid contacting the environment containing harmful substances such as pesticides and heavy metals.
Actively cooperate with doctors in inspection and treatment
The preparation of IVF requires both husband and wife to actively cooperate with the doctor's inspection and treatment. Regular inspection can timely understand your physical condition and treatment progress, and doctors can adjust the treatment plan according to the inspection results.
First, all inspections should be carried out on time. Test tube babies need multiple ultrasonic examinations, blood tests, etc. to monitor the follicular development and endocrine status. Timely understanding of the examination results will help doctors adjust the dosage and treatment plan in a timely manner.
Secondly, we should use medicine accurately according to the doctor's advice. In the process of IVF, ovulation promoting drugs, estrogen, progesterone and other drugs need to be used to help egg development and implantation. Both husband and wife should use drugs in strict accordance with the doctor's advice to ensure that the dosage and usage are accurate.
At the same time, it is also necessary to understand and cooperate with doctors in other treatment measures, such as new assisted reproductive technology (PGD/PGS) and genetic screening before embryo transfer. These measures can help to select better embryos and improve the success rate of IVF.
Actively communicate and support with family and friends
The preparation of IVF requires both husband and wife to face a lot of physical and mental pressure, and active communication and support with family and friends are very important.
First, be honest with your partner. IVF is a common decision. Both husband and wife should face the pressure and difficulties of treatment together, and support, understand and encourage each other.
Secondly, share your emotions and needs with your family and friends. The preparation process of IVF may cause anxiety, depression and other negative emotions. Communication and support with family and friends can help alleviate these emotions and get more understanding and help.
Finally, you can also consider joining the corresponding social groups or organizations to exchange experience and feelings with other couples who are carrying out IVF. These social groups are usually organized by professional psychological counselors and can provide support and help.
Summary
By selecting the appropriate hospital, formulating scientific personal life and diet plans, actively cooperating with doctors for examination and treatment, and actively communicating and supporting with family and friends, IVF preparations can be made more smoothly. It is hoped that both the husband and wife can work together to achieve their childbearing aspirations.
