What do you know about IVF?

A long time ago, I wanted to write about my experience as an IVF, because I found that many people have blind spots when doing IVF.

I want to use my own experience and feelings to help you eliminate illiteracy, so as to help those friends who are trying to solve problems.

But I'm worried that others will know that my daughter is a test-tube baby, which will bring trouble to her growth.

Therefore, I appeal to friends who read this article not to be prejudiced against IVF. Biased you may not know that your ignorance will hurt others.

IVF is an assisted reproductive technology, and the children born are no different from normal pregnancy. It is said that the children born from IVF technology have ADHD, and the children born from IVF have poor physical fitness.

I found that people's ignorance led to many misunderstandings about IVF in this society.

I want to tell you that children born from IVF technology are the same as normal pregnant children. In reality, if you don't see the test tube, you will move more, and if you don't see the test tube, you will not move more. In vitro fertilization and natural conception are only different ways of conception. IVF is not mysterious. They are no different from naturally conceived children. On the contrary, they may be of better quality because they are excellent genes carefully selected.

IVF technology can be divided into three types:

1. The first generation of test tubes took eggs and sperm out of the body, put them together and let them fertilize naturally, nicknamed "natural love".

2. The second generation of test tubes, taking eggs and sperm out of the body, and then forcibly combining sperm and eggs into fertilized eggs with needle-like medical equipment, is dubbed "arranged marriage".

3. Third-generation test tubes, take eggs and sperm out of the body, check chromosomes, eliminate bad genes, and combine sperm with high-quality genes. As far as I know, this test tube technology is suitable for families with family infectious diseases. It will eliminate the sperm eggs at risk of infection, leave healthy sperm eggs and give birth to healthy children.

At first, I thought I was a generation. Unexpectedly, I did the second generation. I took 16 eggs, only 4 were naturally fertilized, and the others were forced fertilized.

The child I successfully conceived through test-tube technology is four and a half years old. She is so tall, healthy, smart and lovely. If I don't tell, no one will know that she is a test-tube baby. So there is no difference between IVF and normal pregnant children.

I remember the only time my daughter was hospitalized was when she was 28 days old, and her stool was bloodshot. The doctor said she would be hospitalized. She spent a day in the hospital, which made my eyes swell with tears. At that time, she was a newborn, living in a clean ward of the hospital, and adults could not accompany her. When I handed her over to the hospital, I couldn't help crying at the thought that she could only stay in the hospital alone.

The next day, I insisted on taking her home, because I was sure that her body was fine. The doctor won't answer unless I sign the waiver. I took her home after signing the exemption letter. She always eats milk four or five times in the evening and sleeps for a day and a night without eating or drinking.

Looking at the little girl, the eye of a needle on the back of her hand, I felt guilty and felt that she should not be hospitalized. I think maybe she was tired from crying in the hospital, or maybe the medicine has a sleeping effect, so she has been sleeping?

It is my personal behavior to take her home without recovery, because I have special strength and belief to support her, and I firmly believe that her health is good. Therefore, I hope my willfulness will not have a bad influence on your decision-making while reading the text. Everyone's situation is different, so please consider according to your own situation when making a choice.

Having said so much before, I want to tell expectant mothers who are affected by pregnancy difficulties: choose the test tube if you can. TCM conditioning may be good, but the process is long.

20 12 married, married for 3 years. I didn't get pregnant without taking any contraceptive measures, which means that my husband and I have physical problems. On 20 15, it was found that it was my problem. I'm tubal nowhere.

Choosing IVF was my husband's suggestion, and it turned out that his decision was right.

Before that, we didn't receive any treatment for infertility. Although I know that my fallopian tube is blocked, I don't want to go through the formalities of fluid communication. I feel that even if I do it, it will only increase the chance of pregnancy, and I will not 100% get pregnant. We are not too eager to have children.

A friend of mine has been tossing and turning for 8 years because he can't figure out how to choose Chinese medicine for conditioning. Finally, seeing that her IVF was successfully pregnant, she also chose IVF. Miraculously, after the test-tube baby gave birth to a healthy baby, two babies naturally became pregnant soon.

Next, I will talk about my test tube technology and cost.

March 1, 20 16, I remember this day very clearly, because the next day I received the bad news of my grandmother's death. The biggest regret of her old man's life is that I have no children.

/kloc-one morning in March, 2000, my husband and I went to the reproductive center of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital for a pre-test tube physical examination.

To be a test-tube baby, a preliminary physical examination is necessary. Before you decide to go to IVF hospital, you'd better go to the hospital to see a doctor, who will tell you when to do these tests.

Let's take a look at the physical examination items that both men and women should do before IVF: (The following information comes from the Internet. I almost forgot the process of doing it myself. I did what the doctor said when I did it, and I listened to the doctor. I seldom pay attention to these things. )

Items and functions of female physical examination:

First, draw blood on the second day of menstruation to make six hormones, including FSH (follicle stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), PRL (prolactin), E2 (estradiol), P (progesterone) and T (testosterone).

Its function is to understand the basic endocrine state and reserve function of female ovary, which is very helpful for ovulation induction in the later period.

Second, the next day after menstrual cramps for vaginal examination.

The function of B-ultrasound examination is to understand the basic development of uterus, ovary, pelvic cavity, follicle and endometrium of women, so that doctors can better understand the basic situation of patients during IVF transplantation.

Thirdly, it is anti-Leguminosae hormone (AMH) in seedling stage.

The function of this testing car is to understand the basic ovarian reserve and evaluate the ovaries at the same time, which is helpful for women to take eggs.

In addition to these tests, women can also check the following items to better understand their health status.

Thyroid function: Through thyroid examination, we can know whether the egg quality is abnormal, which will affect the success rate of IVF.

Infectious examination: 8 items before blood transfusion (including hepatitis B, syphilis antibody, hepatitis C antibody and HIV antibody).

The discovery of infectious diseases can prevent deformed children and abortion and ensure the success rate of IVF.

Test items and functions of male IVF.

Semen analysis: including semen routine, semen biochemistry, etc. The examination of male sperm quality is helpful to understand sperm quality, thus improving the survival rate of late egg-sperm combination.

Male infertility needs to check chromosomes, ABO and RH blood groups and sperm genes. Understanding the genetic background of men, understanding the causes of genetic abnormalities during spermatogenesis and how to prevent the occurrence of abnormal fetuses will contribute to the research of these projects. The first 8 items of liver function and blood transfusion (including hepatitis B, syphilis antibody, hepatitis C antibody and HIV antibody). These tests are helpful to understand men's physical health and virus infection history.

How long is the test result of IVF valid?

The IVF doctor said that generally speaking, the test results of public third-class hospitals are valid within six months, and the test sheets that exceed the validity period of six months need to be re-tested. In these patients, blood type and chromosome tests are valid for life, and there is no need to check again. But the results of sex hormone examination, B-ultrasound examination, semen examination and other hospitals are for reference only. If patients want to go to the United States for IVF, they can have a physical examination according to the requirements of IVF hospital in the United States.

Go to the hospital for the above examination, and it is best to have an empty stomach early in the morning. Plus the queuing time, it can be done in one morning. After about half a month, the test results will come out, and the doctor will make the test tube plan that is most beneficial to you according to your physical condition. Let's start with the doctor's plan.

At first, it was to promote discharge. Promoting excretion is actually very simple, that is, taking hormones. A woman's uterus only produces one or two eggs a month, and the role of hormones makes those immature eggs in the uterus mature. The more eggs, the better. Being able to take out more eggs means more fertilized eggs, so there are more embryos for transplantation. If a transplant fails and there are ready-made embryos, you can try to transplant again.

After ovulation induction, the doctor will arrange the operation of taking eggs through B-ultrasound monitoring until the time of taking eggs. In the whole process of making test tubes, the most painful thing is to take eggs. Because my eggs are in a bad position, and there are many of them, and they have not been anesthetized. So after taking the eggs, the doctor worried that I couldn't stand it. Two people came to help me get down from the hospital bed slowly. Actually, I feel fine, not as painful as I thought. Maybe after so many years, I have forgotten the feeling of pain.

You'll know how much you took that day when you finished taking it. About three days later, the hospital sent a text message telling how many embryos were successfully fertilized by the taken eggs.

I took out 16 eggs, 4 were fertilized normally, 9 were fertilized by the second generation technology, and finally 1 1 embryos were developed. The embryo quality is also ok, one of the three levels, the others are all first-class and second-class. The doctor suggested 2 frozen embryos and 9 capsules. We always follow the doctor's advice.

In March, the examination was conducted on 1, the eggs were retrieved on 1 in May and transplanted on 15 in August. 0/4 days after transplantation/kloc-,go to the hospital for blood test to see if you are pregnant. The whole process is less than half a year, from examination to ovulation induction to egg retrieval to transplantation. I did it well at once, so I spent less than 40 thousand in the hospital.

When many people hear that I am a test tube, they will ask: Why don't you transplant two? It would be nice to have twins at once.

Yes, I want twins too. Twins are so cute, but my body won't allow it. My figure is 155 and my weight is 100 kg. With such a physical quality, the risk of having a second child is extremely high, and it is possible that both of them can't be saved. It is better to have a baby safely than to take big risks.

I met many sisters during the test tube process, and everyone encouraged each other. In the end, most of them succeeded in becoming mothers. We are all good friends now, and occasionally we talk about children together.

The luckiest of them is D. She was forty years old when she made the test tube. Her husband's sperm quality is not very good, and his ovarian function is not very good. So she only got three eggs and only made one embryo. However, this embryo made her dream come true. Because she only took three eggs, the damage to the uterus was very small, so she transplanted fresh embryos. About the fourth day after taking the eggs, she had a transplant. She successfully gave birth to a healthy and lovely son, more than three months older than my daughter. Because too many eggs were taken, the uterus was seriously damaged, and the frozen embryos that had been moved for 3 months were repaired.

Now the technology is very developed, and the domestic IVF technology is very mature. I heard that there are many good test tubes abroad, but I don't think it is necessary to follow them. On the one hand, we ordinary people don't have that much money, on the other hand, as long as we have a good attitude and physical conditions permit, the success rate of test tubes is very high.

When I was doing IVF, I also heard that some couples had some unhappiness during IVF, which led to divorce. For example, in the process of test tube, the man is not with him, leaving the woman to bear all this alone. In this regard, my opinion is that if your husband has never accompanied you in the test tube process, then you really don't need to suffer for a child.

In fact, the pain of making a test tube is nothing, just the inner pain. If he is too busy working and can earn a lot of money, it is understandable to ask his family or nanny to accompany him; Or other force majeure causes him to be unable to accompany you, which is understandable. However, he can take time out to accompany you, care about you and give you strength and confidence. Such a man deserves to have a new life with him.

I am very grateful to my husband for this. Every time I go to the hospital, he stays with me. He got his driver's license in one month in order to drive me to and from work after pregnancy. Before that, he registered his driver's license for more than two years. When it was about to expire, he didn't want to practice driving. On the day I received the transplant, he took the last driving test. As soon as he finished the exam, he came to the hospital to accompany me to transplant.

Family support and companionship are very important in IVF. The psychological pressure of making test tubes is great, especially for friends who have failed once or twice.

In addition to the strength given by your family, your own mentality should be good enough. Because I am particularly strong and confident, my psychological pressure is relatively light. Although knowing it once succeeded, the whole process was still stressful. I tried to free myself from psychological pressure, knowing that this kind of pressure is not conducive to successful pregnancy, but I failed to do it without pressure. Therefore, our own mentality is very important. You must know how to do psychological construction for yourself and stay away from negative energy.

That's about it. You can contact me if you don't understand anything. I am willing to help you. If you need psychological construction, I can also give you enough energy. I wish you a smooth pregnancy and realize your dream as soon as possible.
