How long does IVF injection take?



Time of IVF injection

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is used to assist pregnancy, which requires multiple injections to promote follicular development and ovulation. The injection time of IVF babies varies according to individual differences and the specific plan of the hospital, but it usually goes through multiple stages, and the whole process may take weeks or even months. The following is a detailed description of several aspects of IVF injection.

 How long does IVF injection take?

One aspect: basic treatment

The first stage of IVF treatment is basic treatment, which includes investigating the patient's physical condition, determining the treatment plan and starting the use of basic drugs. Usually, patients need to start to inject ovulation promoting agents on the third day of the menstrual cycle to stimulate follicle growth. During this period, doctors may conduct regular blood tests and ultrasound examinations to monitor the development of follicles and ensure the dosage and effect of drugs.

This stage usually lasts 7 to 10 days, and the specific time depends on individual conditions and doctor's suggestions.

Aspect 2: Preparation before egg collection

Once the follicles are mature enough, the doctor will decide when to collect the eggs. In order to ensure the success and safety of the collection process, doctors will conduct detailed inspection and preparation. This may include the following steps:

First, doctors will conduct ultrasound guided follicle puncture to collect the appropriate eggs. This process usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

Then, the doctor will conduct in vitro fertilization of the collected eggs and sperm. This involves injecting sperm around the eggs in a petri dish to help them combine into a well developed embryo.

The whole preparation process before egg collection usually takes 2-3 days. During this period, patients need to inject drugs needed to promote egg maturation and embryo development.

Aspect 3: Embryo transfer process

In the process of embryo transfer, doctors will directly transfer the well developed embryos to the patient's uterus. This process is relatively simple, usually without injection. Doctors will select the most promising embryos for transplantation at an appropriate time. Embryo transfer is usually carried out three to five days after fertilization.

In the next few weeks, the patient needs to continue taking drugs to support pregnancy until the pregnancy is stable.

Aspect 4: Pregnancy detection and maintenance

Usually, within two weeks after transplantation, patients need to have a pregnancy test to confirm whether they have successfully conceived. This can be done through blood tests and urine tests.

If the test result is positive, the patient needs to continue pregnant care, including regular prenatal examination, blood examination and ultrasound examination. The duration of this phase varies according to individual differences and doctor's advice, and usually lasts at least 10 weeks.

Summary

IVF injection is one of the necessary steps to achieve IVF pregnancy. The whole process is divided into four aspects: basic treatment, preparation before egg collection, embryo transfer, and pregnancy detection and maintenance. This process varies according to individual differences and the specific plan of the hospital, but generally it takes weeks or even months. Through scientific treatment plan and doctor's guidance, IVF injection can bring hope to those who want to have their own children.
