Success rate of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The fertilized eggs are artificially cultured in vitro, and then healthy embryos are transferred to the mother to help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons achieve their reproductive aspirations. So, what is the success rate of IVF?
First, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the woman's age, oviduct patency, ovarian function, sperm quality, etc. Generally speaking, young women have a higher success rate, while women over 40 face a lower success rate. According to statistical data, the success rate of women aged 30-34 in each cycle is about 30% - 35%, while that of women aged 35-39 drops to 20% - 25%. Although the specific success rate varies from individual to individual, many couples can finally usher in their own babies through many attempts and reasonable treatment programs.
Secondly, the selection of formal hospitals and professional medical teams is also the key to improve the success rate of IVF. At present, many famous reproductive medical centers at home and abroad provide IVF technology, such as Boston Reproductive Center in the United States, Cambridge Reproductive Center in the United Kingdom, etc. These hospitals have advanced equipment and experienced expert teams, which can provide personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of each couple, so as to improve the success rate.
In addition, the success rate of IVF is also related to the specific implementation methods. At present, the commonly used methods include in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and single sperm injection (ICSI). IVF-ET is to transfer healthy embryos into the uterus after in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs, which is applicable to a variety of infertility symptoms. ICSI is to directly inject single sperm into the egg, which is applicable to male infertility caused by poor sperm quality and other problems. Choosing a method suitable for your own situation is also one of the keys to improve the success rate of IVF.
Difficulties and risks during pregnancy
Although IVF technology has brought new hope to many infertile couples, couples will also face some difficulties and risks during pregnancy.
First of all, although the success of embryo transfer depends on the operation of doctors and the quality of embryos, not every transfer can be successfully implanted. The success rate is related to the quality of the embryo. Within two weeks after transplantation, couples need to conduct pregnancy tests to determine whether pregnancy is successful.
Secondly, during the whole pregnancy period, pregnant women need regular prenatal examination and pregnancy health care. Especially in the early stage of IVF pregnancy, pregnant women need to pay attention to the safety of embryos and their own health. At the same time, hormone therapy and injection of drugs may also bring physical discomfort and stress.
In addition, compared with natural pregnancy, IVF pregnancy may face a higher risk of abortion. According to statistics, the abortion rate of IVF pregnancy is about 15% - 25%, higher than that of natural pregnancy. This is related to the embryo quality of IVF, maternal age, maternal health and other factors.
Summarize with the title
To sum up, the success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, including the age of the woman, hospital choice and treatment methods. Choosing formal hospitals and professional medical teams can improve the success rate. During pregnancy, couples may face problems such as unsuccessful embryo transfer, and discomfort that may be caused by the need for regular inspection and treatment of pregnant women. In addition, IVF pregnancy has a relatively high risk of miscarriage. However, through reasonable treatment and personalized care, many couples can finally successfully usher in a healthy baby.
