General requirements for IVF pregnancy
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their fertility aspirations through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Although the IVF technology is quite mature, there are still certain requirements and conditions to be met. The following details the requirements for IVF pregnancy from four aspects: physical condition, age limit, marital status and economic capacity.
condition
For women, physical health is one of the important conditions for IVF. First of all, the female reproductive system should be in a normal state, and there should be no serious uterine malformation, fallopian tube obstruction and other problems. Secondly, women's endocrine system needs to operate normally, ovulation function is normal, and hormone level is stable. In addition, women should do a good job in weight management, too light or too heavy body will affect pregnancy, and the best weight range is between BMI 19-25.
For men, the quality and quantity of sperm directly affect the quality of embryos and the success rate of implantation. Therefore, men need to ensure normal sperm quantity and quality, and if necessary, conduct semen examination and evaluation according to the doctor's recommendations.
Both husband and wife should maintain good physical conditions and living habits, and avoid smoking, drinking or other unhealthy behaviors to improve the success rate of IVF.
Age limit
Age is an important factor for IVF, especially the age of women. Generally speaking, the success rate of IVF for women under 35 years of age is high, and the success rate drops significantly after 35 years of age, especially for women over 40 years of age, which is below 2%. Therefore, it is suggested that women should consider the IVF program before the age of 35.
The influence of male age on IVF is relatively small, but the health status of both parents is equally important. Regardless of the age of the men and women, the hospital will evaluate and guide them according to the specific situation.
marital status
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology for both husband and wife. Therefore, husband and wife must have legal marital status. This means that couples must marry through formal and legal channels, and some countries or regions may have restrictions on same-sex marriage. Therefore, before choosing the IVF method, please ensure that you meet the requirements of local laws and regulations.
Economic capacity
IVF is an expensive medical technology, which involves many links and medical costs. From in vitro fertilization to embryo transfer, to long-term gestation period and post care, each link needs financial support. Therefore, couples need to have sufficient economic capacity to support the whole IVF process.
In addition, IVF technology needs to be carried out in formal hospitals or reproductive centers. There are many famous professional hospitals around the world that provide IVF services, such as Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States and London Reproductive Clinic in the United Kingdom. When choosing a hospital, the husband and wife can consider comprehensively according to professional level, technical equipment and medical expenses.
summary
IVF is a blessing brought by scientific and technological progress, helping couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams. However, carrying out IVF requires that the couple have physical conditions, meet the age limit, get married legally and have financial ability. Knowing the above requirements, choosing a suitable hospital and receiving the guidance and evaluation of doctors, couples are expected to improve the success rate of IVF and realize their fertility aspirations.
