How long does the whole process of IVF in Jiaxing take?
IVF is a method to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility through assisted reproductive technology. In Jiaxing, many couples choose IVF as their choice to have children. However, this process is a complex process, which needs to go through multiple stages. Next, we will introduce the time and matters required for the whole process of IVF in Jiaxing from four aspects.
Aspect 1: Physical preparation
Before IVF, women need to be physically prepared. First, gynecologists will conduct physical examinations, including endocrine examination, pelvic examination and hysteroscopy. These tests are designed to assess women's fertility and exclude any potential diseases. In addition, women also need to carry out blood tests, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other virus infection tests, to ensure that in the process of IVF will not be transmitted to embryos.
The whole body preparation time usually takes 2-3 months. This period can be used for conditioning and treatment, such as adjusting the menstrual cycle and ovarian function, to increase the probability of successful pregnancy.
Aspect 2: egg and sperm retrieval
Fetching eggs and sperm is an important part of IVF. First, women need to inject hormones to stimulate their ovaries to produce more follicles to increase the chance of pregnancy. Then, under the guidance of B-ultrasound, use a slender needle to puncture the follicle and extract the eggs. This process usually needs to be carried out in the operating room and requires local anesthesia.
At the same time, men need to provide semen samples. This can be done by masturbating or using a semen collector. Then, semen samples will be sent to the laboratory for sperm screening and processing.
Aspect 3: In vitro fertilization
In vitro fertilization is the core step of IVF. In the laboratory, the obtained eggs and sperm are placed in a culture dish for in vitro fertilization. This process usually takes 24 hours, during which the laboratory technician will monitor the formation of the fertilized egg.
After fertilization, the obtained embryos will be incubated in petri dishes for 2-5 days until they reach the optimal development stage. At this time, doctors will choose healthy embryos for transplantation.
Aspect 4: Embryo transfer and follow-up treatment
Embryo transfer is the last step of IVF. Under the guidance of B ultrasound, doctors transfer embryos into women's uterus. This process is usually painless and requires no surgery.
After transplantation, women need a period of rest. Then, progesterone and other hormone drugs are used to help the embryo implantation and continue to develop. After about 10-14 days, women can have a blood test to confirm whether they have successfully conceived.
Summary
In general, the whole process of IVF in Jiaxing usually requires 2-3 months of physical preparation time, including examination and treatment. The process of taking eggs and sperm needs to be carried out in the operating room, depending on individual conditions, and the time will vary. In vitro fertilization and embryo culture usually take 24 hours to 5 days. Finally, after embryo transfer, hormone drugs such as progesterone need to be treated, and blood tests to confirm pregnancy need to be carried out. The whole process requires patient waiting and active cooperation with the doctor's treatment suggestions.
