Why test tube babies need injections
Test tube baby refers to the baby whose fertilized eggs are cultured in vitro and transplanted into the mother's uterus through artificial assisted reproduction technology. In the process of IVF treatment, injecting pregnant women is a common operation. These injections often include ovulation promoting drugs, drugs to maintain luteal function and anticoagulants. This article will elaborate on why IVF should be injected from the aspects of fertility mechanism, ovulation promotion, luteal support, anticoagulation, etc.
Significance of ovulation promoting drugs
Ovulation promoting drugs are one of the commonly used drugs in IVF treatment. Injection of ovulation promoting drugs to pregnant women can stimulate the growth and maturation of follicles and increase the chances of fertilization. These drugs are usually given to patients by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. The significance of ovulation promoting drugs is to increase the number of eggs, improve the chance of fertilization, and thus improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, ovulation promoting drugs can also regulate ovarian function, improve the quality and efficiency of ovulation, and further increase the possibility of pregnancy. Therefore, it is very necessary to inject ovulation promoting drugs into IVF, which helps to control the development and release of eggs and ensure that eggs are taken at an appropriate time.
Effect of luteal supporting drugs
In the process of IVF treatment, the support of luteal function is very important. The corpus luteum is formed by the ovary after ovulation. Its main role is to secrete progesterone, maintain the blood supply and stability of the endometrium, and provide a good environment for embryo implantation and development.
Because the fertilized eggs of IVF are cultured in vitro, the progesterone secreted by corpus luteum in natural state cannot meet the needs of embryos. Therefore, in IVF treatment, it is particularly important to inject luteal support drugs to pregnant women. These drugs can supplement the lutein level in pregnant women, maintain the thickness and stability of endometrium, and improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
Necessity of anticoagulant therapy
Anticoagulant therapy in IVF is to prevent thrombosis and abortion. Because in the process of IVF, the body of pregnant women will be stimulated by ovulation promoting drugs, and the ovaries will be excessively stimulated, which will increase the activity of coagulation factors in the blood, thus easy to form thrombus.
Anticoagulant therapy is usually performed by injecting anticoagulants to reduce the risk of thrombosis. These anticoagulants can dilute coagulation factors in the blood and prevent the formation of thrombus. The injection of anticoagulants can effectively reduce the coagulation risk of pregnant women during IVF treatment and ensure the implantation and development of embryos.
Summary
In short, injecting IVF is an indispensable part of IVF treatment. By injecting ovulation promoting drugs to pregnant women, the number of follicles and the chance of fertilization can be increased; Luteal supporting drugs can maintain a good environment of endometrium and improve the implantation rate of embryos; Anticoagulant therapy can prevent the formation of thrombus and reduce the risk of abortion. The use of these injections can maximize the success rate and healthy birth rate of IVF, bringing good news to couples who are eager to become parents.
