Previously, many women dreamed of having a baby, but could not for certain reasons. Of course, neither parents who had not yet experienced the wonderful feelings of motherhood or fatherhood, nor scientists who were eager to find an answer to any question could not accept this fact. Recently, more and more couples are tormented by the problem of the impossibility of conceiving a child in a natural way. This is due to many reasons, the most common of which is the Rh conflict of the parents, when the father's protein is perceived by the female body as a foreign substance.
To help such couples, experts have developed an eco-pregnancy, that is, in vitro fertilization, it is also called "test tube pregnancy." This technology is successfully used in many developed countries of the world. It is based on the fact that a male sperm fertilizes the egg of a woman in laboratory conditions with absolute sterility. Then the finished egg is transplanted into the uterus, and what happens next depends on the body's ability to take the embryo.
Eco pregnancy is the only chance for women suffering from infertility, because naturally they will not be able to get pregnant. Each disease that prevents conception can be identified and overcome with the help of in vitro fertilization. If a man was infertile in a married couple, donor services are offered. In this case, the doctor selects the method of conception in accordance with the existing problems and pathologies.
Stages of in vitro fertilization :
First of all, tests are carried out that determine the reasons for the impossibility of conception. Moreover, the examination should go through both partners. After determining the causes, the method of fertilization is selected, and the doctors proceed to immediate actions. In order for the eco-pregnancy to subsequently be confirmed, care must be taken and the clarity of all actions. On the second day of the menstrual cycle, hormonal drugs are prescribed to get up to 10 matured eggs at a time. With the help of regular ultrasound, a specialist monitors the condition of the follicles. Their full maturation indicates the readiness of the egg, which is contained in it, for fertilization.
At the next stage, a mini-operation to remove follicles is performed. It is carried out under anesthesia and takes no more than 5 minutes. To obtain the follicles, a thin needle is used to pierce the vaginal wall. The woman does not feel pain, and after 3 hours she can go home. At the same time, the man must pass sperm. If there are difficulties in this regard, then specialists extract protein from the testicle.
At the third stage, the sperm meets the egg in a common tube and they are fertilized. Transplantation of the embryo into the uterus is carried out within a minute, and no anesthesia or anesthesia is required, since the operation is completely insignificant. And after a maximum of 2 hours a woman is allowed to go home.
From then on, a languid expectation begins. Spouses are tormented by the question, will there be a pregnancy after eco, how to preserve it? To do this, a woman takes certain drugs with a high content of hormones, and an eco -pregnancy test is also regularly conducted . 2 weeks after the last operation, a blood test is performed. If the result is positive, then hormonal drugs should be taken about 3 months.
Very often, after an eco-pregnancy, a double result is obtained, that is, a pregnancy is multiple. But often they try to leave only one embryo. This is done so that the body can ensure the normal development of the fetus.
