How to carry out the whole process of IVF

IVF refers to the process of combining sperm and eggs in vitro laboratory and cultivating them into embryos through assisted reproduction technology, and then transplanting the embryos into the mother's uterus for development. The following will elaborate on the whole process of IVF from four aspects: selected hospitals, physical examination and testing, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

Selected hospitals

Choosing a suitable hospital is the first step for successful IVF. Generally speaking, large general hospitals or professional reproductive medical centers are the first choice. The hospital's technical strength, equipment level, experience and reputation of the expert team should be considered. Before choosing a hospital, you can refer to the recommendations of relatives and friends, and consult the evaluation and successful cases of relevant hospitals. You can also contact the hospital consulting department to understand the details of the hospital's service items, processes, costs, etc. After determining the hospital, it is necessary to consult the doctor first, and complete a series of related physical examinations and tests under the guidance of the doctor.

Physical examination and testing

Physical examination and testing is an important part of IVF process, which aims to evaluate the reproductive health of both sides and provide data support for the follow-up assisted reproductive technology. Routine physical examination items include male semen analysis, female gynecological examination, endocrine detection, ovulation monitoring and endometrial thickness. In addition, genetic disease examination is also one of the important links in the process of IVF. Both husband and wife can understand their own genetic background through genetic counseling, and carry out relevant genetic tests. This can help doctors assess the genetic risk of embryos and select embryos with lower risk of genetic diseases for transplantation.

In vitro fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the core step of IVF. Its basic process includes egg collection, sperm collection, IVF and embryo culture. First of all, women should conduct ovulation induction treatment under the guidance of doctors, control ovarian function through hormones, and increase the number of follicles. Then, in the process of ovarian monitoring, professional ultrasound instruments and blood detection were used to determine the time of follicle maturation. When the follicle is mature, the doctor will collect the egg through the egg retrieval technology and place it in the culture dish. Then, the sperm is collected from the spouse or donor, processed and selected by the sperm, and fertilized with the egg in vitro. After a certain period of culture, qualified embryos will be formed. Doctors will select the best embryos for transplantation.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last step in the process of IVF. The high-quality embryos are transferred to the mother's womb for development. Usually, only one embryo is selected for transfer to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies. Embryo transfer can be accomplished by non-surgical or minimally invasive surgery. The doctor will choose an appropriate method for transplantation according to the patient's specific situation and medical advice. After embryo transfer, patients need to follow the doctor's recommendations for rest and medication. Regular review and testing is necessary to ensure the implantation and healthy development of embryos. To sum up, the whole process of IVF includes hospital selection, physical examination and testing, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Through scientific and accurate operation and medical technology support, IVF technology has become an important means for many infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
