Preparation for IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, before IVF, a series of preparations need to be carried out to ensure the smooth progress of the whole process. This article will elaborate on the preparatory work of IVF from four aspects.

Before considering IVF, both husband and wife need to receive a comprehensive medical evaluation. This includes examining the physical health of the couple to determine if there are any factors that may affect the success rate of IVF. In addition, doctors will evaluate the childbearing history of the couple and further investigate the possible causes of infertility. In addition, the doctor will also know the marital status of the couple, such as economic status and family support, to ensure that they have the psychological and material preparation for IVF.
Once the medical assessment is completed and it is determined that both husband and wife are suitable for IVF, the next step is to select the appropriate hospital and doctor for consultation and treatment.
Hospital selection and consultation
When choosing IVF hospitals, couples need to consider some key factors. First, they should choose a hospital with good reputation and rich experience. You can consult the hospital's background information, doctors' qualifications, successful cases, etc. to make decisions. In addition, couples should also consider the facilities and technical level of the hospital, which is crucial for the smooth implementation of IVF.
Once the hospital is selected, the couple will consult with the doctor. The purpose of consultation is to understand the whole process of IVF in detail, including possible risks and side effects. The doctor will answer the husband and wife's questions and develop personalized treatment plans according to their specific conditions. In addition, during the consultation process, doctors will also provide couples with advice on IVF precautions and lifestyle to improve the success rate.
Psychological preparation and life adjustment
Test tube baby is an important life for both husband and wife, so psychological preparation is very important. The IVF process may experience some emotional ups and downs, including anxiety, tension and expectations. Couples can consider seeking psychological support, such as a counselor or joining a support group, to relieve stress and obtain emotional support.
In addition, in order to improve the success rate of IVF, couples may need to make some life adjustments. This includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding overwork and stress. Couples also need to follow the doctor's advice, control drugs and diet, and pay attention to avoiding possible bad habits, such as excessive drinking and smoking.
Fund preparation and planning

They should understand the cost structure of the hospital and ensure that they have sufficient funds to cover the whole process. In addition, couples should also sort out their insurance policies and determine whether IVF can be insured to bear part or all of the costs.
At the same time, couples need to reasonably arrange the treatment schedule. In the process of IVF, many attempts may be required, so couples need to reasonably arrange work, vacation and other daily life affairs to ensure full participation and cooperation in treatment.
