Time period of IVF hospital
IVF refers to the use of artificial assisted reproductive technology (ART) to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy. The IVF Hospital is a medical institution specialized in providing IVF related professional services. The time cycle of IVF hospital mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Diagnosis and preparation stage
The time cycle of IVF hospitals first includes the diagnosis and preparation stages. At this stage, doctors will conduct detailed physical examination and diagnosis of the couple to understand the causes of infertility. Common diagnostic methods include gynecological examination, male semen analysis, tubal hydrotherapy test, etc. According to the diagnosis results, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan, including which kind of artificial assisted reproduction technology to use, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or embryo transfer (ET).
In the diagnosis and preparation stage, couples usually need to accept a series of auxiliary examinations and preparations, such as gene testing, hormone therapy, surgery, etc. The time period of this stage varies with individual differences, and may take several weeks to several months.
2. IVF cycle
The IVF cycle refers to the whole process from egg or sperm retrieval to embryo transfer. This cycle is usually divided into the following stages:
The first is the stage of ovum retrieval or sperm retrieval. Female patients will receive ovulation promoting drug treatment in order to obtain more mature eggs. At the same time, male patients need to provide semen samples. Egg retrieval is generally carried out at a specific time in the female menstrual cycle, and the eggs are taken out by ultrasound guided puncture. Sperm retrieval is usually carried out on the day of egg retrieval.
After taking eggs or sperm, the eggs and sperm are fertilized in vitro in the laboratory. After successful fertilization, the generated embryos will continue to be cultured in the incubator until they develop to a certain stage. Usually, embryos are cultured in incubator for 2-5 days.
Finally, doctors will choose the best embryos for embryo transfer. Embryo transfer is a minimally invasive operation in which embryos are placed in the uterine cavity of women. After embryo transfer, patients need to observe and rest, waiting for pregnancy results.
The time period of the whole IVF cycle is generally 2-6 weeks, and the specific time depends on the specific case and hospital process.
3. Pregnancy confirmation and pregnancy maintenance stage
If the IVF cycle is successful, the female patient becomes pregnant and will enter the pregnancy confirmation and pregnancy maintenance stage. In the pregnancy confirmation stage, the doctor will conduct a blood test to confirm whether or not the pregnancy is. If the pregnancy is confirmed, the doctor will recommend multiple reexaminations to ensure that the embryo can be maintained in the uterus.
At this stage, doctors will give patients corresponding hormone treatment to maintain pregnancy. At the same time, patients need to follow the doctor's diet and lifestyle guidance to avoid overwork and adverse physical stimulation.
The time cycle of the whole pregnancy confirmation and pregnancy maintenance stage is generally several weeks to several months, and the specific time varies depending on individual differences and pregnancy progress.
4. Postnatal examination and delivery after successful pregnancy
If the IVF cycle is successfully carried out, female patients will enter the stage of prenatal examination and delivery after successful pregnancy. The time period of this stage is usually about 40 weeks, which is the normal duration of pregnancy.
The prenatal examination will be carried out at different stages of pregnancy, and the doctor will regularly monitor the fetus and pregnant women to ensure the normal progress of the pregnancy process. Common prenatal examination items include blood examination, ultrasound examination, urine examination, etc.
When the pregnancy reaches term, the female patient will enter the delivery stage, which is the final stage of the IVF hospital time cycle. The mode of delivery depends on the specific situation and the doctor's advice, which can be natural delivery or caesarean section.
summary
The time cycle of IVF hospital includes diagnosis and preparation stage, IVF cycle, pregnancy confirmation and pregnancy maintenance stage, as well as prenatal examination and delivery stage after successful pregnancy. The whole process generally takes weeks to months, and varies due to individual differences and hospital processes. Through professional medical technology and personalized treatment program, IVF Hospital has helped infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations and brought them the joy of new life.
