In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an effective assisted reproductive technology. If you have the following conditions, IVF offers the greatest hope for you to successfully have children: damaged or blocked fallopian tubes, unexplained infertility, low sperm count or poor sperm motility, severe endometriosis, or antibodies to sperm.
In vitro fertilization (IVF), also known as artificial insemination, involves, in simple terms, extracting eggs from the mother's body, combining them with sperm in a laboratory to allow the fertilized eggs to develop into embryos, and then implanting the embryos back into the uterus to continue the pregnancy process.
Inducing ovulation, which means stimulating the ovaries to produce more follicles and thereby increasing the number of embryos, can enhance the success rate. Doctors typically transfer one to two embryos, or at most three, to strike a balance between the successful pregnancy rate and the multiple pregnancy rate.
Overview of Treatment Course: IVF treatment can assist many individuals with infertility symptoms in successfully conceiving and realizing their dream of having children. However, IVF treatment cannot achieve instant success; prior preparation is indispensable, and the treatment cycle varies from person to person.
The following is an overview of a general treatment course:
Physical condition and fertility assessment of the couple before treatment
Induced ovulation
Regular ultrasound and blood tests to track the growth of eggs
Egg extraction
Sperm selection
Fertilization through the union of sperm and egg
Embryo culture
If necessary, conduct embryonic genetic testing.
Embryo transfer
Blood test for pregnancy
