How long does Shandong IVF Hospital need to wait?
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. There are many professional IVF hospitals in Shandong Province that provide relevant services. However, due to the large demand, the waiting time of these hospitals is often very long. Next, we will elaborate on the waiting time of Shandong IVF Hospital from four aspects.
1. Appointment and first visit
Before choosing a test tube baby hospital in Shandong, both husband and wife need to make an appointment and make a preliminary diagnosis. The appointment can generally be made through the hospital's official website or telephone, and the husband and wife need to provide personal information and relevant certification materials. After the appointment is successful, you usually need to wait for a period of time before the initial diagnosis. Initial diagnosis is an important link for doctors to understand the physical conditions of both spouses and diagnose the causes of infertility, which usually requires a series of examinations and tests. The whole appointment and initial diagnosis process generally requires waiting for about 1 month.
After the initial diagnosis, the husband and wife can choose the appropriate IVF treatment plan, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo transfer, etc., according to the doctor's suggestions and diagnosis results. Next, we need to wait for the formal treatment phase.
2. Treatment preparation and queuing
Before officially starting IVF treatment, both husband and wife need to make some preparations, such as the woman receiving ovulation induction treatment to increase the number of eggs, and the man providing semen samples. The length of these preparations varies from person to person, usually taking weeks to months.
Once the preparations are completed, the couple will enter the queue waiting phase. Due to the large demand for IVF hospitals in Shandong, the waiting time will be long. Generally, both husband and wife need to wait for 3 months to 1 year.
During the waiting period, the husband and wife can adjust their life and diet according to the doctor's suggestions, make psychological preparations in advance, and provide necessary psychological counseling or support.
3. Treatment process and cycle
Once it is the husband and wife's turn to conduct IVF treatment, the whole process usually requires multiple cycles. Each cycle includes egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. There is a certain waiting time between each step.
Egg retrieval and fertilization are generally carried out during the woman's menstrual cycle. After taking the eggs, the eggs will be fertilized with sperm in vitro, and the embryos will be cultivated. The embryo will be observed in the incubator for several days. If the embryo is well developed, the doctor will choose the best time for embryo transfer. The whole treatment cycle usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.
4. Pregnancy and success rate
After embryo transfer, the husband and wife need to wait about 14 days for blood HCG test to determine whether they are pregnant. If the pregnancy is successful, the couple will continue to receive further prenatal examination and pregnancy support. If it fails, the couple can choose to resume IVF treatment.
It should be noted that the physical condition and treatment effect of each couple will be different, and the success rate will also be different. Generally speaking, the success rate of Shandong IVF Hospital is between 30% and 50%.
Summary
To sum up, the waiting time for IVF hospitals in Shandong includes appointment for initial diagnosis, treatment preparation and queuing, treatment process and cycle, pregnancy and success rate. The whole process usually takes between 6 months and 1 year. Both husband and wife can alleviate the anxiety and pressure caused by waiting through reasonable time planning and psychological preparation. At the same time, the professional level and success rate of the hospital should be considered when selecting the hospital, so as to obtain better treatment effect.
