What is the typical IVF plan?
Typical in vitro (IVF) fertilization schedule takes approximately 31 days from the administration of the first medicine to the blood pregnancy test. There are many factors that affect the individual schedule of each patient, so a typical IVF schedule includes a patient who has a normal 28 -day menstrual cycle and does not use contraceptive pills to regulate his cycle. Each schedule involves the use of drugs to suppress ovulation, stimulate egg follicles and stimulate egg maturation; Egg and embryo transmission procedures; And finally a pregnancy test. In the United States, hormonal agonist drugs releasing gonadotropin are used to achieve this goal; The type of drug may vary depending on the patient's location. The drug is administered by subcutaneous injection daily. The remedy for suppressing ovulation weirahed during the last seven days of the patient's menstrual cycle.
One day after the start of a new menstrual cycle, the stimulating hormone follicle injection beginsU (FSH). The purpose of FSH is to stimulate the development of mature follicles with each follicle containing one egg. It is also a daily subcutaneous injection for eight days in conjunction with the drug suppression drug. These eight days are known as stimulating days and several blood and ultrasonic projections are planned during this period. Blood is tested to check suitable estrogen levels and transvaginal ultrasound measures the size of the egg follicles.
Day 16 of the IVF plan involves injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG injection is used to help eggs to achieve ripening. This is also the last day of suppression of ovulation and FSH injection.
Two days and HCG injection is given, the procedure of obtaining eggs is administered. The patient is administered into severe anesthesia and ultrasound is used to guide the needle to the ovary and follicle. Follicle liquid is suckled by a needle; The eggs are separated from the follicle wall and are pulled out of the ovary. Four hours later the sperm is added to the eggs and the eggs areobserved to ensure fertilization.
The day after the egg obtaining procedure is initiated treatment of progesterone. Treatment is given either daily injection or daily use of vaginal cream. Progesterone is a female hormone that helps to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation.
embryo transfer is another IVF plan, but on the day when the transfer is transferred, it depends on whether it is a three -day transmission or a five -day transfer. The time period between egg acquisition and embryo transfer will depend on the doctor. The embryo transmission procedure does not require anesthetization. Under ultrasound leadership, the catheter passes through the uterus embryo transmission to the uterus and the embryos are transmitted by the catheter to the uterus lining. The patient lies on his back one hour before leaving home.
The last step of the IVF schedule is the blood pregnancy test. The pregnancy test is scheduled for about 14 days after the egg search procedure. If the pregnancy test is positive, further monitoring steps will be taken to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
