Recently, with the inclusion of IVF in Beijing in medical insurance, many mothers-to-be who are preparing for IVF have come to consult:
Do we have health insurance in ivy tubes at fertility centers?
How much does IVF cost?
How long is the treatment cycle and what is the process?
Most of these people are years of infertility and hesitate because they don't know about IVF.
The first thing to tell all IVF expectant mothers is that the inclusion of IVF in Beijing into medical insurance is a pilot in China, and there is no policy notice in the rest of Beijing except for Beijing.
So we still have to pay for test tubes, as for "how much does a test tube cycle cost?" This problem also depends on the charges and specific physical conditions of local hospitals.
For example, if the patient has a condition that needs to be treated, such as hysteroscopic surgery, embryo accumulation, intimal conditioning, etc., the time required will rise and delay.
In general, the treatment cycle of IVF is 8 to 12 weeks, and the specific process and schedule are as follows:
Step 1: Pre-tube examination
Before the IVF cycle, the doctor needs to do a full set of examinations for both husband and wife to confirm whether the fertility criteria are met, to determine the cause of infertility, and then to determine the next treatment plan according to the physical condition of both husband and wife.
Both men and women need to be examined separately: the man can complete all the tests on an empty stomach and 3-7 days after ejaculation.
Examinations for women need to be scheduled twice: on the 2nd to 4th day of menstruation and during non-menstrual periods. Menstrual examination requires an empty stomach.
All the test results came out in about half a month.
Step 2: Downregulation, ovulation induction stage
About 1 month or so, the ovaries are stimulated with Gn (gonadotropin) so that multiple follicles grow and develop at the same time, and HCG is injected to allow multiple follicles to mature.
Induction generally lasts for 8-15 days, the patient should be injected or taken according to the doctor's requirements, regularly review the B ultrasound, hormone conditions, adjust the dose of the drug, when the follicle grows to the required size of the injection HCG, and arrange egg retrieval surgery 36 hours thereafter.
Diet during the promotion period should be varied, nutritionally balanced, intake of adequate protein and vitamins, adequate sleep, avoid overwork and strenuous exercise, quit smoking and alcohol is also very important.
Step 3: Egg retrieval and sperm retrieval stage
After 34-36 hours after the injection of human villonic gonadotropin (HCG), the doctor performs a puncture egg retrieval under the guidance of the B ultrasound, and the egg retrieval needle is extended into the ovary to suck the eggs.
Immediately after egg retrieval, the egg cells are moved to a Petri dish containing embryonic cell culture solution and placed in an incubator at 37 ° C for preservation, and the man also extracts sperm at the same time.
On the day of egg retrieval, the woman should follow the doctor's requirements to eat, pay attention to personal hygiene, rest for 2-3 hours after egg retrieval, and if there is no major obstacle, she can move normally.
Step 4: IN VI FERTILIZATION, Embryo Culture
After the egg is retrieved, the doctor will put the sperm and eggs in the same Petri dish, culture them, and observe the fertilization.
If there are multiple embryos that can be frozen, if the woman is not suitable for transfer during this cycle, she can also freeze them, first nourish the body, and wait until the right time to transfer.
Step 5: Transplant phase
Doctors select better-developed embryos for transfer based on the development of the fertilized egg. Doctors apply a very thin embryo transfer tube to transfer the developed embryos through the cervix into the woman's body, a process that does not feel painful.
During transplantation, you should relax your mood, avoid excessive tension, and ensure balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, no strenuous exercise, and reasonable work after transplantation.
14 days after the transplant, go to the hospital for a blood test to know if you are pregnant.
The above is the IVF process, understand the IVF process and precautions, choose the best time to visit the doctor, maintain a regular good schedule, and wish you a good pregnancy!
