How many attempts does IVF need?
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in infertility patients. For many couples, IVF is the long-awaited good news. However, IVF cannot be achieved in a single successful attempt. In fact, IVF needs many attempts to succeed.
Embryo quality and implantation rate
In the process of IVF, it is first necessary to collect eggs from the female body and combine them with the male sperm to form a fertilized egg, then cultivate them into embryos, and finally transfer the embryos to the female uterus for implantation. Embryo quality is one of the important factors affecting the success rate. In one attempt, multiple embryos are usually transferred to increase the chances of implantation. However, not all embryos have the same quality, and some embryos may not be able to implant, leading to the failure of the attempt. Therefore, if the first attempt fails, couples usually choose to try again to increase the chances of success.
In addition, the technical level of IVF hospitals and experts will also affect the embryo implantation rate. Different hospitals and doctors may have different technical levels. Choosing a strong formal hospital for treatment can improve the success rate and reduce the number of attempts.
Individual differences and adjustment plans
Everyone's physical condition is different, including the patient's age, birth history, birth disorders and other factors. These individual differences may affect the success rate of attempts. Sometimes, doctors may need to adjust the treatment plan to make a more appropriate plan according to the specific situation of the patient. For example, in an attempt, if it is found that the quality of female eggs is not ideal or the development of fertilized eggs is slow, the doctor may suggest stopping the attempt in advance without transplantation to avoid the result of failure. Adjusting the treatment plan can improve the success rate and reduce the number of attempts.
Progress of in vitro fertilization technology
With the progress of medical technology and the continuous development of in vitro fertilization technology, the success rate of IVF has gradually increased. For example, with the help of frozen embryo technology in assisted reproductive technology, multiple healthy embryos can be frozen for future attempts. In this way, even if the first transfer is unsuccessful, frozen embryos can still be used for two or more attempts, greatly improving the success rate. In addition, some new technologies are emerging, such as embryo screening technology, which can help select high-quality and healthy embryos, improve the probability of embryo implantation, and reduce the number of attempts.
Summary
IVF needs many attempts because of the comprehensive results of many factors, such as embryo quality and implantation rate, individual differences and adjustment programs, and the development of in vitro fertilization technology. When choosing the number of attempts, couples should fully understand the above influencing factors and fully communicate with doctors. In addition, couples are encouraged to be fully prepared physically and psychologically, actively face the possibility of failure, and work together with professional doctors to strengthen confidence and make efforts to realize the dream of a healthy baby.
