Third generation IVF, also known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), refers to the method of taking the genetic material of embryos for analysis to diagnose any abnormalities and to screen healthy embryos for transfer to prevent the transmission of genetic diseases before the embryos are transferred in IVF-ET.
The latest third generation IVF technology can exclude genetic defects and deal with genetic diseases. If both couples carry genes for genetic diseases, such as thalassemia, then the child conceived in the test tube may be a child with the disease. According to the previous technology, the only way to conceive a child is to get the woman pregnant first, and to extract the chorionic villi and amniotic fluid to test if the fetus is healthy in the 7-8 weeks and 4-6 months of pregnancy, respectively, and to choose to induce labor if it is not. This can cause a lot of damage to the woman, and some couples have even endured several “painful abortions” and still cannot conceive a healthy fetus.
In order to solve this problem, the third generation technology was born. What kind of amazing technology is it? Experts say that, for example, if both husband and wife are carriers of the thalassemia gene, there is a 1/4 chance of having a child with severe thalassemia, and a 1/4 chance of having a healthy child. What is done at this point is to pick out the “healthy 1/4” through technical means.
While a woman with a normal pregnancy has only one embryo, with IVF, multiple embryos can be created at once. On the third day of development, the medical staff selects one cell from each embryo for testing and selects the healthy one to be transferred to the woman’s body. For this reason, the third generation technique is also called pre-embryo transfer genetic diagnosis.
This shows that infertile couples with genetic predisposition can choose the third generation IVF technique.
Third Generation IVF Costs
Third generation IVF? What does this mean? We all know what IVF means if we just say IVF, but many people really don’t know what it means if we add the third generation. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a technology that adds genetic disease testing to IVF technology and is often referred to as third generation IVF, which involves taking the genetic material of the embryos for analysis before in vitro fertilization embryo transfer to prevent the transmission of genetic diseases and to select high-quality, disease-free embryos for transfer to the woman’s uterus, which helps to better ensure the quality of the pregnancy.
The third generation of IVF technology many people see as its most excellent, so they will appear to blindly follow the trend, which is wrong. Experts say that usually patients without a specific heritage history, such as those with Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia A, Tay-Sachs disease and Turner syndrome do not need this technology, but instead can go through the simple and safe conventional IVF. With conventional IVF technology, eggs and sperm are retrieved using scientific means, in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs is done in a safe and sterile laboratory, and the cultured embryos are then transferred to the woman’s uterus to complete the pregnancy.
The cost of third-generation IVF is one aspect, and the other is the comparison, through which we can see where the third generation is superior? In the second generation of IVF, high quality sperm is taken and injected into the egg cell plasma under the detection of microscopic system to complete the direct fertilization and then transfer the suitable embryo into the woman’s uterus. The third generation IVF, on the other hand, is an addition of testing to the original technology, so there is an elevated span both in terms of cost and time, and therefore, the experts will give advice and guidance to the patient’s actual situation.
The technology of third generation IVF is relatively mature, and the cost of third generation IVF is also following the mature, if you want to do third generation IVF then prepare the money first, although it is sad to talk about money but if you want to do third generation IVF you must consider is the money problem. The cost of third generation IVF is definitely more expensive than any of the previous techniques.
How many days after the IVF transfer to bed
How many days after the IVF transfer does it take to get into bed? I believe many people are still not clear about this issue. Moreover, we also need to know the precautions after IVF transplantation, below, let’s take a look.
1. How many days after IVF transplant
The time of fertilized egg implantation needs to be taken into account, usually about 3-4 days after transplantation, but there are a few late implantation, there are some individual differences. At the same time, about 14 days after IVF embryo transfer, you are recommended to go to the hospital to check whether you are pregnant or not, and you can further contact with your doctor if you don’t understand anything.
2. Things to note after IVF transfer.
Diet: You can eat anything you want, especially you can eat more vegetables and protein-rich foods. It is recommended to eat one grapefruit every day. Things not recommended to eat: alcohol, cigarettes, coffee, tea, sesame oil, bananas, papaya, crabs, corn, coix seeds, which are not good for the embryo.
Rest: For 48 hours after the transfer, lie down as much as possible and also try to keep lying flat. Do not turn over vigorously in bed or get up vigorously, when you get up, first turn sideways and support your body with your hands before getting up, after 48 hours you can lean on the bed (angle less than 45 degrees), watch less TV or no TV and less internet. You can read some books to pass the time, be careful not to cause emotional books. In the future, try to rest as much as possible, and after 3 days, you can do a small amount of small activities in the house within 5 days, and after 5 days, you can engage in small outdoor activities, especially work can not be strenuous, it is better to be able to not work until the pregnancy is detected. It is best to stay away from work until the pregnancy is detected. Keep a regular routine, don’t stay up late, and get enough sleep. It is best to call someone to come to your home for the first 5 days for the injection.
Exercise: After transplantation, you should avoid exercises that use force: do not stretch hard, do not weigh Ni tip, do not lift a high hand, do not squat, do not lift heavy objects, do not walk fast, do not jog, do not ride a bicycle, you can walk slowly.
Bathing: no bathing for 48 hours after transplantation, later bathing and hair washing can be done every other day or at longer intervals, but water is a must.
Keep healthy: you must not get sick, pay attention to weather changes, and add and remove clothes appropriately.
Mood: keep a happy mood, can’t do that, at least keep your mood calm and relaxed, don’t think much about the result and suffer from loss.
Social: Try not to participate in social activities, avoid going to the crowded and heavily polluted air environment. Avoid being frightened by others or traffic.
Bowel movements: Do not have diarrhea or constipation. Especially constipation, be sure to keep the bowels open, if there is constipation?F like do not solve the bowels hard, wait until there is a bowel movement. Overall eating more vegetables can keep the bowels open. Introduce several suitable keep; do not have sex, avoid intimate manners with your husband, and eliminate any behavior that may cause uterine contractions.
Also, contact your doctor promptly in case of abnormal abdominal pain, bloating, vaginal bleeding, etc.
