What procedures are required for IVF

IVF (artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which plays an important role in the process of many infertile couples realizing their reproductive dreams. This process includes a number of procedures, from patient evaluation to embryo transfer, which requires careful planning and professional operation of the medical process. The procedure of IVF will be described in detail in the following four aspects: patient evaluation, ovulation regulation, pregnancy confirmation and embryo transfer.

Patient Assessment

To perform IVF, a patient assessment is required first. The doctor will ask the infertile couple about their marriage and childbearing history, medical history and living habits in detail to understand their basic situation. At the same time, doctors will also carry out detailed reproductive system examinations for women, such as B-ultrasound examination, hysteroscopy, etc., to ensure that women's uterus and ovary function normally. For men, doctors will conduct semen analysis to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. Through these assessments, doctors can determine the applicability of IVF to patients and provide guidance for subsequent surgery and treatment. After completing the patient evaluation, the doctor will determine the appropriate ovulation regulation scheme according to the specific situation of the patient.

Ovulation regulation

Ovulation regulation is one of the important steps of IVF. For women, an accurate grasp of the ovulation cycle is crucial to a successful pregnancy. The doctor will adjust the ovulation cycle by taking orally or injecting drugs according to the patient's condition. Oral drugs are generally estrogen or progesterone drugs, which help promote the growth and excretion of follicles. Injecting drugs (such as gonadotropin or ovulatory stimulating hormone) can increase the secretion of ovarian hormones and make follicular development healthier. The purpose of ovulation regulation is to collect enough eggs of quantity and quality at an appropriate time to prepare for subsequent in vitro fertilization.

Pregnancy confirmation

After in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm, the successfully fertilized eggs will continue to be cultured in the laboratory. About 3-5 days later, doctors will evaluate the embryos and select the most promising embryos. Then, doctors will transfer the embryos back to the mother's womb. After transplantation, the patient needs pregnancy confirmation, that is, the pregnancy hormone level is detected by blood test. If the result is positive, it means that the IVF process has been successful and the patient is pregnant.

embryo transfer

Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF. After the embryo is selected, the doctor will transfer the embryo into the female uterus through a thin tube. This process generally does not require anesthesia and is usually painless. After successful embryo transfer, the patient needs a rest period to ensure that the embryo can be successfully implanted into the uterus and promote the occurrence of pregnancy. To sum up, IVF requires multiple procedures such as patient evaluation, ovulation regulation, pregnancy confirmation and embryo transfer. Each procedure has its importance and particularity, and requires the precise operation of doctors and the cooperation of patients. The success of IVF requires the joint efforts of doctors and patients. Only with comprehensive evaluation and scientific operation can infertile couples achieve their reproductive dreams.
