Common problems in IVF examination
Test tube baby is a kind of fertility method that fertilizes and cultivates the eggs and sperm of couples with limited fertility in the laboratory to a certain extent through assisted reproductive technology, and then transfers mature embryos into the mother's uterus. IVF test refers to a series of medical examinations conducted on couples and pregnant embryos during the whole IVF process. The following will introduce the common problems of IVF examination from four aspects.
1. Examination before pregnancy
Before IVF treatment, couples need to undergo a series of tests. The first is the genetic examination of both parties to exclude potential genetic disease risks. Then the woman's ovarian function, including blood hormone levels, follicular development, etc. The man needs semen analysis to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. In addition, endometrial examination, including hysteroscopy and ultrasonography, is also required.
In the pre pregnancy examination, the most common questions include: screening for genetic abnormalities, whether genetic counseling and testing are required; Whether the female ovary function is normal; Whether the quality of male sperm reaches the standard of pregnancy; Whether there are endometrial problems, etc.
2. Examination during pregnancy
During IVF pregnancy, couples need to carry out a series of tests to ensure successful pregnancy. These include hormone monitoring in order to determine the appropriate drug treatment program; Follicle monitoring to determine the best time for egg collection; Sperm quality inspection to assess fertilization ability, etc. In addition, embryo culture and screening are also needed to select the most promising embryos for transplantation.
During the examination during pregnancy, common problems include: whether the hormone monitoring results are normal; Whether follicular development meets expectations; Whether the sperm quality meets the requirements of fertilization; How about the embryonic development; Whether there are enough healthy embryos to choose from.
3. Post transplant inspection
After IVF embryo transfer, a series of examinations are required to monitor pregnancy. These tests include blood hormone testing to ensure that the intrauterine environment is suitable for embryo implantation; Ultrasonography is used to observe the development of embryos and confirm whether the implantation is successful; Pregnancy related blood indicators were detected to assess pregnancy progress and embryo health.
In the post transplant examination, common questions include: whether the intrauterine environment is suitable for embryo implantation; Whether the embryo is successfully implanted; Whether the pregnancy is normal; Whether the embryo is healthy, etc.
4. Examination during pregnancy
Once the IVF is successfully transplanted and pregnant, couples need to carry out a series of pregnancy examinations and monitoring. These tests include blood tests during pregnancy to assess the health of the pregnant woman and the development of the fetus; Ultrasonography is used to observe the growth and abnormalities of the fetus; Special examinations such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus biopsy are used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities and congenital diseases.
During the examination of pregnancy, common problems include: whether the pregnant woman maintains good health; Whether the fetus develops normally; Whether there are genetic abnormalities or other disease risks.
To sum up, the common problems of IVF examination mainly include the examination before pregnancy, the examination during pregnancy, the examination after transplantation and the examination during pregnancy. These checks are designed to ensure the safety and success rate of the whole IVF process. Through these examinations, potential problems can be found as soon as possible and corresponding medical measures can be taken to solve them, thus increasing the chances of success of IVF.
