PRIOR TO IVF PROCEDURE
IVF, THE LAST CHOICE
FOR INFERTILITY COUPLE
During IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) mature eggs are collected from your ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. Then the fertilized egg (embryo) or eggs are implanted in your uterus. This is usually the last choice an infertile couple makes and the success rate is only 20-35%.
During the procedure of collecting the eggs, which involves inducing ovulation, stimulating the ovaries, and retrieval of the egg, often times it results in a lot of stress on women’s bodies. Oriental Medicine cares for the woman’s body before and after IVF procedure.
WHAT IS IVF?
Super-ovulation
Medicines, called fertility drugs, are given to the woman to boost egg production. Normally, a woman produces one egg per month. Fertility drugs tell the ovaries to produce several eggs.
Egg retrieval
A minor surgery, called follicular aspiration, is done to remove the eggs from the woman’s body. The woman is given medicine so that she does not feel pain during the procedure. Using ultrasound images as a guide, the health care provider inserts a thin needle through the vagina and into the ovary and sacs (follicles) containing the eggs. The needle is connected to a suction device, which pulls the eggs and fluid out of each follicle, one at a time. The procedure is repeated for the other ovary. There may be some cramping after the procedure, but it will go away within a day.
Embryo Transfer
The embryos are placed into the woman's uterus 3 - 5 days after egg retrieval and fertilization. The doctor then inserts a thin tube (catheter) containing the embryos into the woman's vagina, through the cervix, and up into the womb. More than one embryo may be placed into the womb at the same time.
WHY DO I NEED ORIENTAL MEDICINE TREATMENT?
In order to increase your chances of success, you not only need to focus on the health of your eggs and sperm but implantation and prevention of miscarriage is very important as well.
With a systematic oriental medicine treatment, you can increase your chances of fertilization, implantation without using any chemical to the body.
BEFORE/AFTER CARE FOR IVF
It is important to maintain both the health and reproductive ability of the mother and father to the maximum before IVF procedure.
Also after the IVF, it is crucial that the mother’s uterus is in the best condition for a strong implantation.
