Artificial cycle blastocyst transfer procedure

Artificial cycle implantation requires the use of drugs, and it is a very good technology for many people who cannot get pregnant. Although this is a good method, this operation has very high requirements on the physical fitness of the uterus and the mother. It is better to get pregnant naturally, which is very comforting to parents both psychologically and physiologically. Even if the transplant is successful, it may not be successful, so you must stay in bed and pay attention, and don't overexert yourself.

Frozen embryo transfer is divided into two types: natural cycle and artificial cycle. The artificial cycle relies on drugs to control hormones before transplantation, while the natural cycle requires the body to produce certain hormones and progesterone after ovulation.

A natural cycle means that you have normal follicles and you start monitoring the follicles after your period ends until they grow larger and ovulate. When the endometrium reaches about 8-12, you start transplanting. An artificial cycle means using estrogen replacement to increase the endometrium to 8-12 for transplantation, regardless of whether you have follicles or not.

01 First of all, generally speaking, during transplantation, the requirements for the uterus are relatively high, and the endometrium should be between 8 and 12 thick. Therefore, the doctor will prescribe Western medicines such as Progynova to regulate the endometrium at the beginning of menstruation to supplement the thickness of the endometrium. It is usually taken for about ten days. If the endometrium is not thick enough, it should be continued until the endometrium reaches the standard.

02 Secondly, while waiting for the endometrium to reach the standard, the doctor will also start monitoring the follicles around the 10th day of the menstrual period, because the transplantation must wait until the mature follicles in the body are discharged before they can be placed inside. Otherwise, the hormones in the body will not reach the standard, and it will definitely fail. We don’t want to fail.

03The last and most important thing is the transplantation of the embryo. After the transplantation, progesterone must be supplemented, otherwise the embryo will not be easy to implant, which is what the saying goes, it will not be easy to stick to our stomach, then it will not be successful. Generally, we give progesterone injections, one injection a day, for about 10 days.

Note:

It is worth noting that after embryo transplantation, we usually stay in bed to recuperate. Some people say that as long as we lie in bed, do not move, eat or urinate, we must make it successful. In fact, thinking like this is too stressful. We must relax our mind, eat when we are hungry, and urinate when we need to. Don't hold it in. There is also a little trick, which is to put a pillow under your buttocks to prevent the embryo from flowing out.
