Nowadays, many women cannot conceive naturally for some reasons, so they will choose to do IVF, but IVF is not so simple, so how to do it? The following Hengjian Overseas will tell you about the whole process of IVF and the advantages of IVF.
First, the whole process of IVF
1. Ovulation induction treatment for women
We should know that not every egg will necessarily be 100% fertilized, and not every fertilized egg can successfully develop into a vibrant embryo, so it is necessary to obtain multiple eggs from the body to ensure the success of the transfer of embryos, so it is necessary to carry out ovulation induction treatment for women, which is the most critical step.
2. Egg retrieval
Egg retrieval is performed under anesthesia because the doctor passes through the vaginal puncture of mature follicles through the egg retrieval needle, and the egg is sucked out, a process that does not feel pain due to the action of anesthesia.
3. In vitro fertilization is completed
After the successful retrieval of the egg, it is also necessary to extract the sperm of the man, to carry out a special washing of the semen, and to put the sperm and the egg in a special medium to achieve natural binding, which is the so-called fertilization process.
4. Embryo transfer
After a few days of fertilization, the best embryos can be transferred into the mother's womb through a very thin embryo transfer tube through the cervix. The number of embryos transferred is determined according to the age and quality of the embryos, and 2 to 3 embryos are generally transferred.
5. Take progesterone
Because of the application of GnRH agonists/antagonists and ovulation-stimulating drugs, resulting in a shortage of progesterone, it is necessary to supplement in time, generally taking until 3 weeks after the B ultrasound sees the fetal heart rate.
6. Whether she is pregnant or not
When the embryo is transferred 14 days later, serum hCG is measured to determine if the pregnancy is complete. Wait for 21 days of embryo transfer, and then measure the serum HCG again to understand the development of the embryo. After 30 days of embryo transfer, a vaginal ultrasound should be done to see if it is an intrauterine pregnancy and whether there is fetal heartbeat.
Second, the advantages of IVF
1. Ensure eugenics and fertility
IVF will select high-quality sperm for fertilization, and after five days of breeding, if it is determined that the embryo is good, it will be transferred, and genetic screening will be carried out to ensure that the transferred embryo does not have a genetic disease-causing gene to ensure that a viable, high-quality embryo can be transferred, so that it can be determined to have a healthy baby.
2. Overcome the difficulties of natural pregnancy
In real life, there are many people who are not easy to get pregnant, for many reasons, such as tubal obstruction, poor semen quality, carrying certain genetic diseases, for these situations, you can choose IVF to obtain a healthy embryo transfer and overcome the difficulty of natural conception.
3. Avoid the pain of repeated operations
The current third generation of IVF has the technical support of frozen embryos, after the transfer, the remaining embryos can be frozen, if the treatment fails, the frozen embryos can be thawed and then transferred, so that it will avoid experiencing the process of induction and egg retrieval again, which not only reduces pain, but also saves money.
4. Preserve women's fertility
Now many women have delayed the birth of children due to the influence of work and career, and they can choose to freeze eggs to preserve women's fertility.
Through the above Introduction of Hengjian Overseas, we found that although the IVF process is not very difficult, it must be interlocked, and any link that goes wrong may face failure. Therefore, before ivy is started, be sure to make specific program guidance on the actual situation of the patient to ensure a higher success rate.
