The whole process of 45 year old test tube baby
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproduction technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. For 45 year old women, because of the gradual decline in fertility, IVF is a common choice. The whole process of IVF for 45 year old women will be described in detail below, including hospital selection, initial diagnosis, egg retrieval and embryo implantation. I hope it can provide some reference and understanding for people in need.
Select Hospital
Choosing a reputable hospital is the first step for IVF. The following aspects can be considered when selecting hospitals:
First, choose a professional reproductive medical center. You can learn about the professional level and success rate of the hospital by consulting relevant information, doctors or other experienced patients.
Secondly, the equipment and technical level of the hospital should be considered. Modern IVF technology requires complete and advanced equipment and an experienced medical team.
Finally, we should also consider the service and environment of the hospital. The IVF process is long and requires multiple contacts with the hospital. A good service and warm and comfortable environment can help patients better cope with the treatment process.
Preliminary examination
After the hospital is selected, the patient needs to have a preliminary examination. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to personal conditions to improve the success rate. The preliminary examination mainly includes the following contents:
First of all, the doctor will conduct a detailed medical history inquiry and physical examination to understand the basic situation and health status of the patient.
Secondly, the patient needs to carry out a series of laboratory tests, including blood routine, biochemical indicators, endocrine tests, etc., to assess the patient's reproductive ability.
Then, the doctor will perform imaging examinations, including ultrasonic examination, endometrial thickness measurement, etc., to assess the condition of the uterus and ovary.
Finally, sex hormone levels need to be tested to determine the appropriate treatment.
Egg retrieval process
Fetching eggs is one of the key steps of IVF. The process is divided into the following steps:
First, patients need to use ovulation promoting drugs to fully stimulate the ovary according to the doctor's instructions. These drugs can promote the simultaneous development of multiple follicles and improve the probability of pregnancy.
Secondly, doctors will insert a slender extractor into the ovary to extract mature follicles through ultrasound guided puncture technology.
Then, the eggs will be sent to the laboratory for in vitro fertilization with sperm.
Finally, the fertilized embryo will be cultured in the laboratory for several days until it reaches the implantation stage.
Embryo implantation
Embryo implantation is the last step of IVF success. This process is usually carried out 5-6 days after egg retrieval:
First of all, doctors will choose the best embryo to be implanted into the uterus. Generally, high-quality embryos will be selected for implantation to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
The doctor then uses a catheter to implant the embryo into the uterine cavity. This process usually does not require anesthesia and can be completed by simply lying down.
Finally, patients need hormone therapy to help embryo implantation and pregnancy. Thereafter, patients need to pay attention to maintaining a good lifestyle, avoiding strenuous exercise and physical discomfort, so as to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
Summary
During the whole process of IVF at the age of 45, it is very important to choose the appropriate hospital, carry out the initial diagnosis and examination, take eggs and embryo implantation. Moreover, patients need to pay attention to maintaining a good attitude and lifestyle to improve the success rate. It is hoped that the introduction of this article can help people in need better understand the whole process of IVF and make correct choices and decisions.
