What is IVF

Should I have IVF? Many infertility patients in outpatient clinics will ask: “Doctor, should I do IVF or not?” For this question, there are different answers for different patients: First, for patients after bilateral tubectomy, IVF is the only choice, and the earlier the better, because after tubectomy, the ovarian function will inevitably be damaged, and the earlier you do it while you are young, the higher the success rate. Secondly, for patients with bilateral tubal obstruction or incomplete tubal passage, and the male partner’s semen is still good, they already belong to the group of people who should do IVF, but it should be combined with the age of the female partner, the urgency of the desire to get pregnant, and the degree of psychological acceptance of IVF to determine the age of the female partner, the age of the female partner for pregnancy is an independent factor, if the female partner’s age is more than 35 years old, no matter what, I would advise you to do the IVF as a matter of urgency, and if the woman’s age is 20 years old, the willingness to get pregnant is not too high. If the woman is in her twenties, her desire to get pregnant is not too urgent, or she does not accept IVF, then she can have her fallopian tubes unblocked by laparoscopic surgery and then try to get pregnant. If even laparoscopic surgery is not willing to do, then expectancy therapy also has the hope of pregnancy, but the chances are relatively small, even the tubal imaging shows that the obstruction of the patient also have their own pregnancy, but this situation is like buying a lottery ticket. Third, for the fallopian tube condition is still good but also many years of infertility, male semen is not too bad patients, you can first try three months of artificial insemination, each cycle will still have a 10% success rate. After three times of artificial insemination is not pregnant, you should take in vitro fertilization. Fourth, for the male partner, the woman’s fallopian tubes are normal, only severe oligozoospermia patients are required to do IVF, but there will still be people who hope to take medication to improve the semen situation in order to fight for the hope of a natural pregnancy, but this is very unlikely, and the same combined with the age of the female partner to make a decision. Overall, because infertility is not a life-threatening condition unlike other organic diseases, and because there are many social and psychological factors involved, the question of “should I do IVF” is ultimately a decision you can only make on your own, with the advice of your doctor. Is the success rate of IVF high? Success rate is the number one concern of infertile patients undergoing IVF, and it is also the number one concern of all the medical and embryology staff, and we are on the same front in terms of improving the success rate! Generally speaking, the success rate of IVF refers to the chance of success per transfer cycle, that is to say, 100 transfers, of which 45 are pregnant, that is to say, the average cumulative two transfer cycles can get pregnant, note that here are said to be the average Oh, there are a lot of people are once on the success of some people, there are also people transplanted three, four, and even a small number of people transplanted five, six and seven or eight times also have. So specific to the success rate of each person is really difficult to say, but can be estimated according to the general situation: First, the woman’s age. The first important factor in the success rate is still the woman’s age, because the woman’s age is directly related to the quality of eggs, if you are in your twenties, even if the ovarian function is not too good, I will be very confident to tell you that the chances of success are very high. Basically you can take baby home, if you are already in your forties, then the success rate per transplant cycle is less than 20%, for women over 43 years old, it can only be a trial. People often ask what medications they can take to improve their ovarian function a bit. With some drugs may make the ovarian function slightly improved, but there is no “reverse growth” possible. Second, gynecological diseases. In addition to age, there are some factors that will affect the success rate, such as endometriosis adenomyosis patients, the success rate of the same age group will be lower down a few points; for example, had an abortion surgery endothelial damage also affects embryo implantation. Tubal hydrosalpinx will also affect the success rate, should be treated before transplantation. Third, the male sperm. The impact of small sperm on the developmental potential of embryos is gradually being discovered, the male party to do IVF before quitting smoking and drinking, pay attention to rest is still very necessary. Fourth, happy mood. The last one, I personally think is also a more important one, is to relax, although the process of doing IVF is stressful, or should try to regulate, psychological factors and the success of pregnancy is also closely related.
