试管婴儿真的是在试管里长大的吗?
Nowadays, the chances of infertility in men and women are relatively high, mainly due to environmental factors, various stresses, bad habits, age and other factors, years of infertility and physical and mental exhaustion, and therefore will directly choose to do IVF, some people may not be too familiar with this technology, then IVF is really in the test tube to grow up? Come together to find out.
Reproducing offspring is the instinct of life. If you can't get pregnant naturally, then you should use the high-tech procedure to help you get pregnant. IVF technology allows more infertile families to have children, which is simply a blessing.
IVF may give people a misunderstanding that the baby grows up in a test tube, but in fact it is not true, the IVF baby grows and develops in the mother's womb. Unlike natural pregnancy, IVF mothers need to go through ovulation induction and egg retrieval, after which the egg and sperm complete the process of fertilization and early development in a petri dish. The process of in vitro cultivation takes 3-6 days, and after the embryo is formed, it is transferred into the mother's uterus.

Nowadays, the IVF technology has developed to the third generation, the first generation of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization - Embryo Transfer, IVF), mainly for the female side of the infertility caused by factors, as well as the male side of the mild to moderate oligozoospermia and weak spermatozoa; the second generation of IVF (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, ICSI), mainly for the male side of the serious oligozoospermia and weak spermatozoospermia, obstructive azoospermia, or IVF fertilization failure; third generation of IVF (Intra Cytosolic Sperm Injection, ICSI), mainly for the male side of the severe oligozoospermia and weak spermatozoospermia, or obstruction azoospermia or IVF fertilization failure Third-generation IVF (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, PGD), mainly applicable to couples with chromosomal abnormalities and recurrent miscarriages, high birth age, etc. These three techniques are not stronger from one generation to the next, and each generation has different indications.
Studies have shown that there is no significant difference in intellectual and physical development between IVF babies and babies from natural pregnancies, and the probability of birth defects is not higher than that of natural pregnancies. The world's first IVF baby, Louise Brown, 40, conceived naturally and gave birth to two healthy sons, the eldest of whom is now 11 years old.
What is the process of IVF?
First, the couple undergoes a thorough physical examination and then shows the report to the doctor.
Second, according to the results of the examination, a preliminary plan for the woman to promote ovulation is determined, and ultrasound monitoring and sex hormone measurement determine the maturity of the follicles.
Again, when the follicles are mature, ultrasound-guided transvaginal egg retrieval is performed, the male partner retrieves the sperm, and the sperm and eggs are fertilized and cultured in vitro to form embryos.
Finally, an embryo transfer is performed to move the best embryos through the cervix into the mother's uterus. Serum HCG is measured 14 days after embryo transfer to determine a biochemical pregnancy. An intrauterine pregnancy is determined by ultrasound 30 days after the transfer to determine if there is an intrauterine pregnancy and if there is a fetal heartbeat.
As you can see from this information, IVF babies also develop in the mother's womb and are no different from normal natural pregnancy babies. Nowadays, there are still a lot of people who want to be parents suffering from infertility, so we would like to remind you that couples with clear indications for IVF technology are encouraged to help them conceive! We wish all couples to have their own healthy babies.
