How is the IVF process scheduled?

Test tube baby means that through assisted reproductive technology, embryos are synthesized and cultured in vitro, and then implanted into the mother's uterus, so that couples who fail to conceive naturally can successfully conceive. The process time of IVF is a key issue, and we will elaborate from four aspects below.

Stage I: Preparation

The first stage of IVF is the preparation stage, which aims to prepare for the next assisted reproductive technology. First, couples need to choose a reputable reproductive hospital, such as the well-known Beijing New Century Gynecology Hospital in China. Then, the couple will receive comprehensive physical examination, including blood examination, endocrine examination, reproductive system examination, etc., to understand the physical condition and eliminate potential physical problems. Then, the doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the examination results. The whole preparation phase takes about 1-2 months.

Stage II: ovulation induction and egg collection

The second stage of IVF is ovulation induction and egg collection. At this stage, the woman needs to inject ovulation promoting drugs to urge the ovary to release multiple eggs. Doctors will conduct regular ultrasound examinations to determine the maturity of the eggs. Generally speaking, the process of ovulation induction takes about 10-12 days. When the egg reaches the proper maturity, the doctor will conduct an egg collection operation. This operation is usually carried out under local anesthesia, and eggs are collected through vagina with endoscope. The whole process takes about 20-30 minutes.

Stage 3: Sperm binding and embryo culture

The third stage of IVF is sperm combination and embryo culture. At this stage, the doctor will combine the woman's egg and the man's sperm in the laboratory to form a fertilized egg through artificial fertilization. Then, the fertilized egg will continue to be cultured in the culture dish to observe the development of the embryo. According to the quality and quantity of embryos, doctors will choose the best embryos to be implanted into the uterus. The duration of this phase is generally 3-5 days.

Stage 4: embryo implantation and pregnancy

The fourth stage of IVF is embryo implantation and pregnancy. At this stage, the doctor will implant the embryo into the mother's uterus through the vagina. This process usually does not require anesthesia or surgery. After implantation, patients need to rest for a period of time and follow the doctor's instructions for drug treatment. After two weeks, the patient can have a pregnancy test to determine whether the pregnancy is successful.

To sum up, the schedule of IVF process includes preparation stage, ovulation induction and egg collection, sperm combination and embryo culture, embryo implantation and pregnancy. The whole process generally takes 2-3 months. The specific conditions of different couples will vary, so it is suggested that couples should consult professional doctors and receive treatment in professional hospitals when choosing IVF.
