Start time of IVF test
IVF test is a series of tests conducted after embryo transfer to ensure the safety of embryos and the success of pregnancy. The timing of IVF test will be elaborated from four aspects.
1. The first examination after IVF transplantation
In vitro baby transfer (IVT) refers to putting the fertilized eggs or embryos into the mother's uterus in the hope of successfully implanting and developing into healthy embryos. The first examination after transplantation is usually carried out about two weeks after transplantation. This is to check whether the implantation is successful and whether the embryo is developing healthily.
During the examination, doctors usually conduct blood tests to measure pregnancy related hormone levels. These hormones include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone and estrogen. By testing the levels of these hormones, doctors can confirm the success of pregnancy and evaluate the development of the embryo.
In addition, the doctor may also perform an ultrasound examination to see if there are embryos in the uterus. This examination can provide more intuitive development and determine the gestational week.
2. Monitoring during embryonic development
In the IVF cycle, embryo development is critical to pregnancy success. Therefore, doctors will regularly monitor the process of embryonic development.
First, the doctor may arrange a fixed time for ultrasonic examination. These tests can track the development, size, heartbeat and other important indicators of the embryo. Through ultrasonic examination, doctors can find abnormalities of embryos in time and take corresponding measures.
In addition, doctors also conduct blood tests to detect pregnancy related hormone levels. The changes of hormone levels can reflect the normal development of embryos and the health status of pregnancy.
At this stage, doctors will make appropriate adjustments and interventions according to the examination results to ensure the healthy development of embryos and the success of pregnancy.
3. Systematic examination in early pregnancy
Once the embryo is successfully developed and implanted, that is, the pregnancy is successful, the doctor will arrange a series of systematic checks to ensure the normal progress of the pregnancy.
Common systematic examinations include regular ultrasound examinations to determine the size of the embryo and heartbeat, and to examine the condition of the placenta in the uterus. In addition, doctors may also conduct blood tests to monitor pregnancy related hormone levels and other pregnancy related indicators.
Through these examinations, doctors can find and deal with any problems that may affect pregnancy in time to ensure the health of embryos and pregnant women.
4. Prenatal examination
Prenatal examination is the final stage of IVF pregnancy. This is to ensure that the fetus continues to develop healthily in the last few weeks before birth, while excluding any possible complications.
During prenatal examination, the doctor will conduct ultrasonic examination to determine the maturity and development of the fetus. The doctor will also check the blood pressure, blood sugar and other important indicators of pregnant women to understand the overall situation of pregnancy.
In addition, the doctor will also ask the pregnant woman about her physical feelings and her health. At this stage, the doctor will provide advice on delivery and postpartum care to ensure the safety of the mother and child.
Summary
The test tube baby test starts from the first test after embryo transfer. As the pregnancy progresses, there will be a series of tests. From the monitoring of embryonic development to the systematic examination in the early pregnancy to the prenatal examination, doctors will adjust the intervention measures according to the examination results to ensure the safety of embryos and the success of pregnancy. The implementation of these examinations will help to find potential problems as soon as possible and take appropriate treatment measures to lay a good foundation for the birth of IVF babies.
