What preparations should be made for IVF
Test tube baby (fsh) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help many couples realize their reproductive dreams. However, all aspects of preparation are very important before IVF. This article will elaborate on the preparations for IVF from four aspects to help couples have a clearer understanding of this.
Physical examination
Before attempting IVF, couples need to undergo physical examination to ensure that they can withstand the process and effect of assisted reproductive technology. First, the man needs to have a semen test to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. Male infertility is one of the main causes of infertility in couples, and semen examination can determine whether further treatment is needed.
The woman needs a detailed gynecological examination, including endometrial thickness, ovarian function, etc. In addition, blood and hormone tests are also needed to ensure that the body is in a suitable reproductive state. If the woman has endometriosis, fallopian tube blockage and other problems, surgery or other appropriate medical intervention may be required.
In addition, the couple should also carry out regular tests for AIDS, syphilis, hepatitis B and other diseases to ensure that their health conditions meet the requirements of test tube babies.
Psychological preparation
The IVF process is a hard journey, and couples need to have good psychological preparation. First, couples need to truly understand the risks and uncertainties in IVF. IVF is not a way to ensure successful pregnancy. The success rate is related to many factors, including age and health status.
In the case of unsuccessful pregnancy, couples need to be prepared to accept the possibility of failure and seek psychological counseling and support. The psychological pressure during IVF cannot be ignored. Couples need to support each other and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.
In addition, couples should also consider the possible financial burden and time arrangement. The IVF process usually requires multiple medical examinations, operations and drug treatments, which all require a certain amount of money and time. Couples need to plan their finances and schedule in the preparation stage so that they can better face the follow-up treatment.
Select the right hospital
Choosing an appropriate hospital is critical to the IVF process. Couples need to choose a professional maternity hospital with rich experience and good reputation. They should carefully study the background and facilities of the hospital as well as the professional background and experience of doctors.
In addition, couples should also consider the location and transportation convenience of the hospital. The IVF process requires frequent consultation, inspection and treatment in the hospital. If the hospital is too far away from the couple's residence, it may bring inconvenience to the follow-up treatment and later management.
Finally, couples can also communicate with other couples who have experienced the process of IVF, and use their experience and suggestions to choose their own hospitals.
Family preparation
After the success of IVF, couples need to make family preparations for the arrival of the baby. This includes arranging suitable housing and purchasing necessities for the baby.
At the same time, couples also need to balance family and work to ensure that they have enough time and energy to care for and raise the baby. The process of IVF may have some impact on the couple's life and work, so family preparation also needs to include the adjustment of healthy lifestyle.
In a word, IVF is a complicated and laborious process. Before starting, couples need to have a comprehensive physical examination, make psychological preparations, choose a suitable hospital and make family preparations. Through adequate preparation and response, couples can increase the chances of IVF success and realize their reproductive dreams.
