Specific process of IVF program
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that enables couples who cannot conceive in a natural way to realize their reproductive dreams. The specific process of IVF scheme will be introduced in detail below, including hospital selection, preparation, egg retrieval process and embryo transfer.
Select Hospital
First, we need to choose a professional IVF hospital. In China, many general hospitals and reproductive centers provide IVF services. The following factors can be considered when selecting hospitals:
1. Professional level: to understand the professional background of the hospital and the qualifications of doctors, information can be obtained through the hospital's official website, media reports, patient reputation and other channels.
2. Hospital facilities: consider whether the hospital is equipped with advanced assisted reproductive technology equipment and comfortable diagnosis and treatment environment, which is very important for the smooth progress of the whole process.
3. Success rate and treatment plan: learn about the success rate and treatment plan of IVF in the hospital, and communicate with the doctor to choose a suitable plan.
preparation
After choosing a hospital, couples need to make a series of preparations:
1. Physical examination: The couple should conduct a comprehensive physical examination under the guidance of the hospital and doctors to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF technology.
2. Medical treatment: According to the doctor's advice, couples may need to receive some medical treatment, including adjusting the menstrual cycle and increasing follicle growth.
3. Counseling and counseling: The IVF process may have a certain impact on the couple's psychology and emotions. Hospitals often provide counseling and psychological counseling services to help couples relieve stress.
Egg retrieval process
The process of egg retrieval is the core of IVF, which includes the following steps:
1. Ovulation promotion: By using ovulation promotion drugs, doctors can promote the growth and development of follicles. In the process of monitoring the growth of follicles, doctors will regularly conduct ultrasonic examination and blood hormone monitoring.
2. Egg collection: When the follicle develops to the appropriate size, the doctor will conduct an egg collection operation. Under general anesthesia, doctors use a slender needle to remove eggs through vaginal puncture, which usually takes 5-15 minutes.
3. Sperm taking and IVF: After the eggs are collected, the doctor will collect semen from the husband and combine the sperm and eggs through IVF technology. This usually happens in the laboratory, and methods include classical IVF or embryo culture.
embryo transfer
Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF and the most promising part. The specific process of embryo transfer is as follows:
1. Embryo culture: After IVF, eggs will be cultured in the laboratory for 2-6 days until they develop into viable embryos.
2. Embryo selection: The doctor will evaluate the quality and development of the embryo and select the embryo most likely to be implanted successfully.
3. Embryo transfer: The doctor uses a thin tube to put the selected embryo into the uterus. This process is usually completed within 5 minutes. The patient needs to rest and follow the doctor's instructions for the next step of nursing and observation.
To sum up, the specific process of IVF program mainly includes hospital selection, preparation, egg retrieval process and embryo transfer. It is very important to choose a professional hospital. Careful preparation and scientific operation can improve the success rate of IVF. I hope this information can be helpful to couples who plan to carry out IVF.
