As the saying goes, women are weak, but motherhood is strong. A woman's life is not complete until she becomes a mother. Unfortunately, many women are unable to get pregnant for one reason or another, and their families are left in agony when they learn the news. However, with the introduction of IVF as a technology, many infertile people have managed to have their own babies. Nowadays, many people are confused about the exact process of IVF, now let's talk about the specific process of IVF in the United States, which has been discussed at a high rate recently.
One: Checkup
First of all, both husband and wife need to have a physical checkup, which varies from person to person. The examination items for men include semen examination, blood routine, chromosomes, urine routine, infectious diseases, liver and kidney functions. For women, there are chromosomes, PPD test, TORCH, blood test and so on. Because there are so many items that couples need to check, I won't list them all here. Couples who want to know more details can consult MCCB. However, we should remind you that after the examination, you must save the examination report, which will be used in the follow-up.
Two: Ovulation Promotion
When the doctor has formulated a suitable program based on your situation, you will enter the ovulation promotion session. Ovulation promotion is needed because not every egg is fertilized and not every fertilized egg develops into a healthy embryo, so the doctor will need to obtain multiple eggs to ensure a successful embryo transfer.
Three: sperm retrieval & egg retrieval
The process of sperm retrieval for men is relatively simple. However, whether it is in vitro fertilization or sperm retrieval in the testes or epididymis, men should be able to quit smoking and drinking for six months, and maintain a regular life and good diet. When women have their eggs retrieved, they need to be anesthetized intravenously in order to reduce the pain of the puncture process. Then the doctor will use a special egg retrieval needle to puncture the mature follicles under the guidance of ultrasound, so as to remove the eggs.
Four: Fertilization
In the laboratory, fertilized eggs are formed after careful nurturing.
Five: Culturing the embryo
The fertilized egg develops into an embryo under the careful monitoring and nurturing of the doctor. Multiple embryos are cultured just in case.
Sixth: Transfer of embryos
Fresh embryos are transferred to the uterus, and the remaining embryos are stored by freezing. If this transfer is unsuccessful, the frozen embryos will be transferred some time later.
Seven: Blood test for pregnancy
Fourteen days after the embryo transfer, the doctor will take a blood test for pregnancy. If the embryo is well developed, come to the hospital in another 20 days for an ultrasound to check the development of the embryo. If the pregnancy is intrauterine and the fetal heartbeat is normal, you have successfully conceived. If the blood test fails, you need to wait for three months and then start again.
The above seven items are the specific operation procedures of IVF, after reading them, I believe you have a general understanding of the technology of IVF. When doing IVF choose hospitals, choose doctors is certainly important, but also remember a particularly important point is to maintain a calm and relaxed mind, do not suffer, keep a good mood, I believe there will be a good result.
How much does IVF cost in the United States? Many people have misunderstandings about IVF, thinking that IVF is grown from test tubes, and the cost of IVF in the United States must be very expensive, as well as when it comes to the United States, surely want to think that they have a high level of consumption over there, which is not affordable for the rich and powerful. In fact, this is a common and great misunderstanding, so how much does IVF cost in the United States in general?
First of all, we must correct a misunderstanding about IVF, the IVF process is not all about growing up from a test tube. On the contrary, IVF is actually essentially the same as a normal pregnancy, except that the place where the eggs and sperm are fertilized is changed to a laboratory outside the human body, and the embryos are still transferred to the mother's uterus at the end.
Secondly, after years of development, IVF has not only been recognized for its technological maturity, but the success rate has also been increasing year by year, and the price has been affordable for most families, making IVF a mainstream technique for solving people's infertility.
Lastly, the customized IVF program is not fixed, because the amount of medication and technical equipment needed for IVF are different for each person, so the price will fluctuate up and down.
Generally we divide the price of IVF into three categories: the cost of medicines, the cost of surgery, and the cost of tests.
Warm reminder: about the U.S. IVF cost is generally how much? There is no definitive answer at this time. A cycle in the United States is 28,000 U.S. dollars, a cycle in the country about 50,000 yuan, compared to the United States is higher. However, if you think about the success rate, the success rate is 20%-30% in China and 80%-88% in the US. If you can succeed once, but you spend three or four times to succeed, the total cost is actually higher. During this process, you will be under psychological pressure, and your body will be tortured. Again, no matter what you ultimately choose, please be sure to protect your body and your mood.
