Difference between IVF and IVF

IVF and IVF are two different assisted reproductive technologies. Although they are both designed to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams, there are some obvious differences in the specific operation and process.

1. Fertilization method

IVF is to artificially fertilize sperm and eggs in the laboratory through assisted reproductive technology, and then cultivate the fertilized eggs to a certain extent before transplanting them into the female uterus for development. Artificial insemination is to inject sperm directly into the uterus of a woman, which depends on the natural pregnancy process.

IVF technology is relatively more complex, including in vitro laparoscopic egg retrieval and in vitro fertilization, while artificial fertilization is relatively simple, requiring only sperm injection into the uterus.

2. Scope of application

IVF is suitable for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to female, male, bilateral or ambiguous factors. Whether sperm or egg quality problems, fallopian tube obstruction, endometrial problems, etc. can be solved through IVF technology. And artificial insemination is usually applied to those couples whose women's uterus functions normally, but whose sperm and eggs need help to conceive.

IVF has a wider range of applications and can solve more kinds of infertility problems, while artificial insemination has certain limitations.

3. Success rate

The success rate of IVF is relatively high. According to the specific conditions of patients and the technical level of the hospital, the success rate of pregnancy can reach 30% to 70%. The success rate of artificial fertilization is relatively low, usually less than 20%. IVF technology can increase the chance of pregnancy through multiple operations, while artificial insemination does not have this advantage.

4. Cost and cycle

Test tube baby is a relatively expensive operation, including egg retrieval, embryo culture and transfer, and the whole process is expensive. Artificial insemination is relatively cheap, requiring only one sperm injection.

IVF technology usually requires multiple cycles until a successful pregnancy. This also means that patients need to experience a longer process and more psychological and physical stress. Artificial insemination usually requires only one operation.

summary

To sum up, there are obvious differences between IVF and IVF in terms of fertilization mode, scope of application, success rate and cost cycle. IVF technology is relatively more complex, with a wider scope of application, high success rate, high cost and cycle. However, artificial fertilization is relatively simple, narrow in scope, low in success rate, low in cost and cycle. When choosing which assisted reproductive technology, couples should make decisions according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
