The success of IVF is not limited to just the embryos hitting the ground, but bringing home a healthy baby.
Many people think that the egg retrieval and transfer procedures are crucial in IVF treatment, but this is not the case. Egg retrieval and transfer procedures can be mastered with practice, just like learning to swim or ride a bike.
So what are the most critical factors for IVF success?
1. Good quality embryos ---- good quality eggs and sperm
The prerequisite for obtaining good quality embryos is to obtain good quality eggs and sperm.
Egg quality is first and foremost related to age. In general, the younger the egg, the better the quality. The ability to get the best number and quality of eggs for a woman's age is again largely dependent on the ovulation regimen. Different infertile women with different age, ovarian reserve, body weight, and response to medications have different ovulation regimens, and different types and dosages of medications used for ovulation. The individualized ovulation regimen for infertile women at our center is based on each infertile woman's own special characteristics and is tailored to achieve the optimal ovulation regimen for her.
Sperm quality seems to be more influenced by a man's lifestyle, illness or genetics. Unhealthy lifestyles such as late nights, obesity, smoking and alcohol abuse, and hot work environments can reduce sperm quality. Certain diseases such as chromosomal abnormalities, Y chromosome segment deletions, varicocele, rubella or juvenile mumps will cause male infertility. We currently assess male fertility by sperm count, morphology, viability and sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), of which DFI has the most predictive value and correlates with embryonic developmental potential. For male patients undergoing IVF, we routinely assess these indicators and find that many infertile men have a high sperm DFI. When lifestyle modifications are combined with medication, most men's DFIs can be reduced, which can be quite beneficial for fertilization and embryo development.
2. A good endometrium ----- is a suitable breeding ground for embryo implantation
Successful embryo implantation is the result of a harmonious dialog between the embryo and the endometrium. There are already good quality embryos, and our focus is on the endometrium. If the endometrium is of good thickness and morphology, and blood flow is more abundant, the success rate is higher after transferring quality embryos.
In what cases is the endometrium unsuitable for embryo implantation? Diseases of the endometrium, such as uterine polyps, submucous fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, endometritis, and uterine adhesions, may affect the embryo's ability to find suitable soil for implantation. In addition, thin endometrium, poor endometrial blood flow, tubal effusion, and asynchrony between endometrium and embryo development may also affect embryo implantation. When this occurs, embryo transfer should be canceled and endometrial pathology should be treated first. If there are organic lesions in the endometrium, these should be removed by surgical or pharmacologic treatment before transfer. If the lining of the uterus is so thin that drugs cannot thicken it, the chances of conception can be increased by improving blood flow through the lining.
3, healthy body environment ---- create a good environment for fetal growth and development
Embryo implantation into the uterine lining is the first step to a successful pregnancy. If you want to get a healthy baby, you need to let the fetus grow and develop healthily in the womb. The baby's nutrients and oxygen come from the mother's blood exchange, so it is very important for the mother-to-be to have a healthy and balanced body for the baby's development.
Some of the more common disorders of the internal environment in women of childbearing age include hyperprolactinemia, hyperandrogenemia, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune disorders, coagulation abnormalities, metabolic abnormalities, and bacterial infections. These abnormalities in turn seem to be inextricably linked to infertility, spontaneous abortion or embryo termination. Correcting these abnormalities through lifestyle changes and medication before embryo transfer to provide a healthy and balanced developmental environment for the embryo will promote the healthy growth of the baby and reduce the incidence of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
In addition to physical well-being, psychological or mental well-being is also very important. Adverse emotions such as tension and anxiety may affect the development of follicles, and the body under stress may secrete certain harmful hormones, further interfering with the body's homeostasis. Therefore, people should keep a relatively relaxed and happy mind during the treatment process and believe that they can get pregnant. Do something you like in your spare time to divert your attention. If you have any questions during the treatment process, don't hold them in, we are always at the clinic and you can talk to us at any time.
The embryo is the seed, the endometrium is the soil, and the environment of the woman's body is the sunshine and rain, and when these aspects are good, the desire to carry a healthy child home will certainly be realized!
IVF, an assistive technology, has brought hope to many infertile families, allowing countless infertile families to get pregnant. However, the success rate of IVF is less than 100% due to various reasons, so what causes the failure of IVF?
First of all, there are physical factors, some women are infertile because of the condition of the endometrium or endocrine level disorders, which is a more important reason to reduce the success rate of IVF. Because IVF is a process in which the fertilized egg is transplanted into the woman's body at the right time after in vitro fertilization and then develops into a fetus. If the condition of the woman's lining is poor, or the endocrine level of the body is disturbed, it will also affect the process of implantation and the subsequent growth of the fetus in the uterine cavity, which is a more common reason. There is also the possibility that the sperm or egg is of poor quality.
With this general understanding, what can be done to improve the success rate of IVF?
The first thing to do is to ensure that the sperm and eggs are of good quality. If you're not too old, it's advisable to prepare for pregnancy for 3 months, exercise, have a good life and routine, and refrain from taking or coming into contact with harmful substances. When preparing for IVF, you need to keep a good mindset, as excessive stress can also affect implantation and endocrine levels. After a successful transplant, you need to have regular checkups and consult a doctor if you feel unwell. The second is the choice of hospitals and doctors, this is a new technology, and the technical level of the doctor requires a higher level, it is recommended to choose experienced doctors and regular hospitals in the test tube technology.
Welcome to Life Calling for more useful health knowledge.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a new medical technology, also called in vitro fertilization, that has been created to help small families who have problems with fertility. Although this technique is widely used, it does not mean that the success rate is 100 percent and there are failures. So, in order to improve the success rate, in the daily life should pay attention to what?
In fact, to improve the success rate of IVF to pay attention to a number of aspects of the problem:
First, is for couples, in order to increase the success rate of IVF, in order to get pregnant smoothly, in order to have a healthy baby, the first point is to find out from their own body to look for the reasons, to start from their own body to change.
Second, both husband and wife should pay attention to their own habits, including dietary habits, modern people do not pay attention to this point, always do not eat on time and overeating, and even have the habit of picking food.
Third, pay attention to the diet with, to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, to avoid staying up late or even stay up late and eat some spicy things, like barbecue, spicy hot pot and so on.
Fourth, before IVF, if you need to take certain drugs, it is recommended that you consult your doctor to see if it is necessary to stop, or to reduce the dosage or change to other drugs under the advice of the doctor.
In addition, although it is said that life needs a sense of ceremony, but in the usual life should also pay attention to, do not momentarily failed to control indulge themselves leading to excessive sex.
Specializing in the combined diagnosis and treatment of men's diseases, minimally invasive surgery for female infertility, he was the first to carry out hysteroscopic embryo retrieval, percutaneous epididymal puncture sperm retrieval, in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination and other assisted reproductive technologies in western Liaoning.
Guaranteeing the success rate of IVF should start from these aspects, first of all, the conditioning of the body, followed by the selection of the right hospital, and then after the transplantation of the precautions, mainly these three aspects;
First, the conditioning of the body:1, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise
To do IVF for dietary aspects of the diet in fact there are no strict requirements, couples can according to their own The first thing you need to do is to take a look at your favorite foods and pay attention to the overall and balanced nutrition. The first thing you need to do is to take in fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation, and eat foods that are high in folic acid, protein, and vitamins, and eat less pickled, spicy, cold, and irritating foods. Pay attention to adjusting your work routine, go to bed early and get up early to ensure sufficient sleep. Actively participate in exercise to maintain the health and vitality of the body, improve immunity, but be careful not to participate in high-intensity exercise, so as to avoid physical overdraft.
2, both husband and wife quit smoking and drinking
The bad thing about smoking is that it affects the quality of the eggs, and also affects the function of women's ovaries, so that women enter menopause early, and it also leads to men suffering from oligospermia, weak, and malformation.
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption can jeopardize the function of the female reproductive system, leading to endocrine disorders, and at the same time will also hinder the development and maturation of the egg, which can easily lead to infertility and malformation of the child.
Men who drink alcohol over a long period of time have lower levels of androgens in their bodies, resulting in symptoms such as testicular atrophy, decreased sperm vigor, and increased malformed sperm. Therefore, couples preparing for IVF must make a plan to quit smoking and drinking within six months before the operation to lay a good foundation for the baby's conception.
3, careful medication, moderate sex
Before undergoing IVF surgery, female patients need to temporarily stop taking birth control pills and estrogen-containing medications according to the doctor's instructions, and use skin care products carefully. During the treatment cycle, it is also necessary to adjust the date of coitus according to the situation, in order to cooperate with the various tests of IVF treatment.
Second: choose the right hospitalFirst of all, from the success rate of each country, the United States reached more than 80%, Russia, Thailand, Cambodia and other places reached about 70%, the country reached more than 60%, so the first choice is certainly the United States, but the United States is not without the pitfalls of the low success rate of hospitals, this will need to be examined in many ways, a good hospital not only has a reliable doctor, and medical equipment is also very reliable, but also a good hospital, a good hospital is not only a reliable doctor, and medical equipment is also very reliable. If you turn over and lie on your side, the angle must be less than 45 degrees.
2, can not take a shower after the operation
Can not take a shower within 48 hours after the operation. Bathing after pregnancy is preferable to shower, do not take a basin bath to avoid infection.
3, reduce exercise
Do not engage in physical labor and carrying things, lifting heavy objects during pregnancy, avoid strenuous exercise.
4, pay attention to diet
After the ban can be appropriate to increase nutrition, you can eat more lean meat, fish, eggs and other protein-rich foods, vegetables and fruits should also eat more. It is not advisable to eat cold, spicy and stimulating food.
5, keep the bowel movement
Eat more fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, etc., to avoid
6, prohibit sex
Prohibit sexual intercourse, so as not to induce uterine contraction, affecting the fertilization of the egg to bed.
7, keep your mood relaxed
After the embryo transfer, try to keep a calm mind. Giving the embryo a quiet and relaxed physical environment will help it to settle and grow.
8, pay attention to do not cold cold
pay attention to the weather changes, appropriate add or subtract clothes, try not to get sick, avoid affecting the development of fertilized eggs.
9, observe the body changes
After IVF transplantation, pay attention to observe whether there is obvious abdominal pain, bleeding and other symptoms, once found that there is obvious discomfort timely medical treatment.
To try to improve the success rate of IVF, in addition to choosing a suitable hospital and selecting an experienced fertility center for IVF, you can also do some things in your own life to try to make IVF successful.
Since age affects the quality of sperms and eggs, it is better to go for IVF as early as possible rather than as late as possible if one is planning to go for IVF and not to do some meaningless delay. The older you get, the poorer the quality of sperms and eggs may be and the likelihood of producing good embryos decreases accordingly, so since you have decided to go for IVF, go for it as soon as possible.
Keep a good mood. Being in a state of stress and anxiety for a long time will not be good for the IVF process. And a good mood can have a positive effect on the patient herself. After all, the process of IVF is also difficult, and having a good mood makes it easier.
Adopt good habits. The regularity of work and rest, balanced nutrition, with appropriate sports and exercise. Try to quit smoking and drinking, and stay away from unhealthy diets and drug abuse. These daily life can do every little bit, there are certain benefits, after all, IVF is based on our sperm eggs, have a healthy body, is the prerequisite for success.
Many couples are eager to have lovely babies, but some couples are unable to conceive normally due to various reasons, and they have no choice but to choose to get their own babies through IVF. In order to guarantee the success rate of IVF, couples who choose to undergo IVF need to do the following:
1. Keeping a relaxed and optimistic state of mind will enable both spouses to achieve the optimal state of internal regulation during the entire process of IVF;
2. The woman can take coenzyme Q10 and iron supplements for a certain period of time prior to the retrieval of the eggs, take proper exercise, stay away from radiation, maintain a healthy and regular routine, and take care of herself.
2. The woman can ensure that she gets the best quality eggs by taking coenzyme Q10, iron, exercising, staying away from radiation, keeping a healthy and regular schedule, and choosing the optimal ovulation regimen for egg retrieval;
3. The man has to maintain a good and healthy lifestyle for a long period of time prior to the retrieval in order to provide high-quality sperms;
4. During the ovulation period, avoid over-exercising and pay attention to protein supplementation;
5, If the woman has endometrial disease or thin endometrium, she should be treated and cured before embryo transfer;
6. After the embryo is planted in the endometrium, the mother-to-be should pay attention to preventing or correcting the disorders of the internal environment, and at the same time, keep a relaxed and happy good state of mind.
If you want to guarantee the success rate of IVF mainly do the following:
Cutting-edge medical equipment, technology + embryo culture technology + PGD / PGS genetic screening + IVF treatment program
The world's cutting-edge medical equipment, technology
Natural conception, sperm and eggs are combined in the fallopian tube, the tubal contraction and peristalsis to the fertilized egg In contrast, the American IVF technology is to take out the sperm and egg, complete fertilization in the laboratory, and develop into an embryo. As you can imagine, the fertilized eggs will be easily affected by external factors when they are cultured in the petri dish in the laboratory. Therefore, both the materials used in the laboratory and the air purification devices are strictly monitored to ensure the creation of an absolutely sterile embryo laboratory.
Unique Embryo Cultivation Technology
One of the recognized points in the IVF treatment cycle in the United States is the cultivation of fertilized eggs into blastocysts for transfer.
The process of growing into a blastocyst undergoes a natural screening process, and if that embryo has a chromosomal abnormality or if the embryo is not vigorous enough, the fertilized egg often stops developing by the third day or simply dies. So the embryos that do develop into blastocysts are the ones that are of better quality, have a higher rate of implantation, and are more likely to respond to pregnancy.
Of course, when the fertilized eggs are nurtured to the fourth day, the rate of cell division increases dramatically, and the experts will monitor the development of the embryos and make the most appropriate treatment of the temperature, nutrition, and density of the culture fluid, in order to ensure that the healthy fertilized eggs survive to the fifth day.
PGD/ PGS genetic screening technology
Once the fertilized egg has formed a blastocyst, it is time for the crucial step of IVF in the United States.
This step determines the health of the baby at birth and is an important means of eugenic fertilization - "Preimplantation Genetic Disease Screening and Diagnosis". The use of the most advanced third-generation IVF PGS/PGD can make the most accurate determination of genetic diseases in 125. It can avoid babies born with hemophilia, thalassemia, Down's syndrome, cat-call syndrome and other genetic disorders and with/carrying family hereditary diseases, to ensure the health of babies after birth.
IVF Characteristic Treatment Program
Mengmei experts according to the patient's different physical conditions and requirements to develop a number of treatment programs, choose the best to operate, rather than the domestic system of access to health care, many people *** with a set of programs.
