Fertility mode of the first and second generation of IVF
IVF technology is a medical means to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. After decades of development, the IVF technology has now entered the second generation. Compared with the first generation, the second generation of IVF has different reproductive methods.
First, the main way of IVF generation is in vitro fertilization (IVF). This method usually includes such steps as superovulation, egg retrieval, in vitro combination with sperm and embryo transfer. The first generation IVF technology has achieved success in many aspects, but there are also some limitations. For example, sometimes IVF may fail due to insufficient number or poor quality of female eggs. In addition, the first generation IVF technology often requires the use of high-dose hormone drugs to promote the growth and collection of eggs, which may lead to some potential risks and side effects.
However, with the continuous development of technology, IVF II has introduced more advanced fertility methods, such as embryo screening technology (PGT). The technology allows genetic testing of embryos prior to transfer to screen healthy embryos that do not carry certain genetic disease genes. This method can greatly improve the success rate of IVF and reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases. In addition, the second-generation IVF technology also introduces a more accurate and personalized hormone treatment program to reduce the side effects of hormone drugs.
In addition, the second generation of IVF also adopted the treatment monitoring technology. This technology can dynamically adjust the dosage and medication time of hormone according to the physiological response and ovarian response of women, so as to make the treatment more accurate and effective. The introduction of course monitoring makes IVF II more safe and controllable in the treatment process.
Pregnancy and delivery of test tube babies in the first and second generations
Pregnancy and delivery are important indicators to evaluate the effect of IVF technology. There are also some differences between the first generation and the second generation of IVF in this regard.
The success rate of IVF generation is usually between 30% and 50%. Although the first generation IVF technology has achieved some success, there are still high abortion rates and premature delivery rates. This may be related to some patients' older age, longer disease history, insufficient ovarian reserve and other factors.
The second generation of IVF has made significant progress in improving pregnancy rate and reducing abortion rate. By introducing embryo screening technology, healthy embryos can be selected for transplantation, effectively reducing the risk of abortion caused by embryo abnormalities and chromosome abnormalities. In addition, the second-generation IVF technology has also improved the environmental conditions for embryo culture and further improved the quality of embryos.
In terms of delivery, with the development of technology and the accumulation of clinical experience, the term delivery rate of IVF is also increasing. The second generation of IVF babies can usually achieve full term pregnancy and spontaneous labor, reducing the proportion of cesarean section and related risks.
The Psychological and Social Impact of the First and Second Generation of IVF
The application of IVF technology has an important impact on the couple's psychology and society.
During the generation of IVF, for couples who cannot conceive naturally, IVF technology has brought significant psychological and social changes. On the one hand, IVF technology has realized their desire to be parents, bringing joy and happiness. On the other hand, the generation of IVF technology will also bring pressure and anxiety to couples, and face various challenges with partners, families and social environments.
The second generation of IVF has relatively alleviated the psychological and social impact. Through the introduction of embryo screening technology, couples have the opportunity to choose healthy embryos for transplantation, thus improving the success rate of pregnant healthy babies and reducing unnecessary psychological pressure. In addition, the second-generation IVF technology is more mature in clinical practice, and the construction of relevant medical teams and social support institutions enables couples to get better psychological and social support.
Expenses and medical insurance for the first and second generation of IVF
The cost and medical security of IVF is a key concern for many couples.
The cost of IVF generation is usually high, including the cost of inspection, medicine, embryo transfer and monitoring during IVF. In addition, because they have not yet received extensive medical protection, the technology of the first generation IVF is usually borne by the couple. This may be a heavy burden for some couples with weak economic conditions.
The cost of IVF II is relatively stable. Due to the progress and popularization of technology, some medical institutions have carried out IVF security services. Through the cooperation between the government and medical institutions, IVF medical security provides a certain degree of cost reduction and protection for couples. This undoubtedly alleviates the couple's economic pressure and improves their feasibility of IVF.
Summary
There are obvious differences between the first and second generations of IVF in terms of birth mode, pregnancy and delivery, psychological and social impact, cost and medical security. The second generation of IVF has effectively improved the success rate of IVF, reduced related risks and psychological pressure, and facilitated more couples to realize their reproductive dreams by introducing embryo screening technology, treatment monitoring technology, medical security and other measures.
