On TV and on the internet, there are all kinds of advertisements for infertility treatment, and the media keeps exposing that there are older actresses using IVF technology to get children, and some of them even have enviable twins. It seems that with IVF technology, having a child is no longer a difficult task. Can IVF solve all infertility problems? What is the success rate of IVF? Is it true that IVF can be “customized” for twins? IVF is not a panacea. You should only do it when you need to do it. You should not ask for IVF when you find out you are infertile, and you should not do IVF just because you want twins. ”At present, many hospitals in China can do IVF, and depending on the conditions of the patient, the general medical cost is about 20-30 thousand. “It’s good news for infertile couples that they can have a child for 20-30,000. However, Director Li said that IVF should be done only when it should be done. Although all infertility can be solved by IVF technology, not all infertility requires IVF, and there are some cases that can be solved by simpler methods, and patients are generally not recommended to do IVF. There are also risks associated with IVF, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome during ovulation promotion, pelvic infections or bleeding during puncture, and multiple pregnancies that can easily occur with IVF are also high-risk pregnancies, so Dr. Li recommends being careful when choosing IVF. IVF cannot be “customized” for twins It is a traditional Chinese concept that many children are blessed with many children, and some patients hope that their doctors can “customize” their twins when they undergo IVF, and some even undergo IVF specifically to have twins. In fact, IVF technology cannot be customized for twins. According to our regulations, only two embryos can be placed in the first IVF procedure under the age of 35; three embryos can be placed in the second procedure under the age of 35 or in the first procedure over the age of 35; sometimes only one embryo can be placed depending on the patient’s condition. However, whether one or two embryos will be successfully conceived after placement is determined by natural selection, not by the doctor, and no doctor can guarantee that all the embryos placed will survive. Therefore, it is impossible to have so-called “custom” twins, and it is not advisable to do IVF in order to have twins. The success rate of IVF in China is higher than that in foreign countries Some people are concerned about the technology of IVF in China. Is it much worse than foreign countries? In fact, in terms of clinical data, the success rate of IVF technology in China is much higher than that in foreign countries. In 2005 and 2006, there was still a certain gap between IVF technology in China and foreign countries, but after years of development and more exchanges with foreign countries, in recent years, especially after 2010, the success rate of IVF technology in China has far exceeded that of foreign countries. Director Li further explained that this is because of the large population in China and the large number of patients of Chinese doctors, so Chinese doctors have accumulated more experience, and the more experience, the more mature the technology, therefore, the success rate of IVF in China is higher than that in foreign countries. The success rate of IVF, which is a concern for many people, varies from one fertility center to another. Generally, the success rate of better fertility centers can reach 50-60%, while the success rate of general fertility centers is 30-40%. There is no difference between IVF and ordinary conception Many people worry that IVF will be more prone to miscarriage or premature birth than ordinary conception, and some even worry that IVF babies will grow up differently from ordinary babies and will have certain health risks. Director Li said that there is no difference between IVF and normal conception. Except for the first trimester of pregnancy, when ovulation and egg retrieval are done, the risks are the same as in a normal pregnancy and do not affect the normal delivery. Some researchers have followed up IVF babies (up to age 12) and the results showed that the incidence of congenital malformations, educational attainment in elementary school, personality, and character of IVF babies were the same as those of normal children.
