What is IVF HCG?
IVF HCG is an important hormone used in assisted reproductive technology. The full name of HCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, which is mainly produced by chorionic syncytial cells formed from embryos. HCG is helpful to placental implantation in early pregnancy, and promotes luteal formation and maintenance of luteal function. In IVF technology, HCG is used to simulate the natural ovulation process, promote ovarian ovulation, maintain luteal function and support embryo implantation.
Application of HCG in IVF
IVF technology is mainly applicable to couples with limited fertilization ability or unable to conceive naturally. HCG plays a crucial role in IVF, as follows:
First, HCG was used to simulate the natural ovulation process. In IVF technology, doctors will inject HCG into women to promote the ovaries to produce and release mature eggs at a specific time.
Secondly, HCG helps to promote ovarian ovulation. After HCG injection, the eggs in the follicle will be released within 36 to 40 hours, so that they can be fertilized with sperm to become fertilized eggs.
In addition, HCG is also essential for maintaining luteal function. The corpus luteum is the residual structure in the ovary after ovulation, which secretes progesterone and other hormones to maintain the normal development of the early pregnancy. By injecting HCG into women, it can help maintain the function of corpus luteum, provide a stable hormone environment, and help implantation and embryonic development.
Operation process of IVF HCG
The operation process of IVF HCG includes the following steps:
First of all, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination to understand the fertility of the couple and determine whether it is suitable to use IVF technology.
Secondly, women should receive hormone therapy to promote the development of eggs. The doctor will regularly monitor the growth of follicles and determine the time of HCG injection after the follicles reach the appropriate size.
The women then received HCG injections. Egg collection is usually performed within 36 to 40 hours after HCG injection. During surgery, doctors will use ultrasound guidance to puncture follicles and collect mature eggs.
Finally, sperm samples were collected from men and fertilized in vitro with the collected eggs. The fertilized egg is cultured to form an embryo, and if it meets the conditions, the embryo is transferred back to the female uterus, hoping that it can be safely implanted and develop into a healthy embryo.
epilogue
IVF HCG plays an important role in assisted reproductive technology. By simulating the natural ovulation process, promoting ovarian ovulation and maintaining luteal function, HCG helps infertile couples achieve their dream of fertility. However, IVF technology still needs precise operation and individualized adjustment by clinicians to improve the success rate. For infertile couples, it is vital to cooperate with professional hospitals and doctors and actively cooperate with them in treatment.
In the future, IVF technology will continue to be improved and perfected, and help more couples realize their reproductive dreams.
