With the development of science and technology, many infertile couples have the hope of becoming parents. Many families choose the method of artificial insemination to solve the problem of infertility. However, the success rate of artificial insemination is influenced by many factors. So, how can we improve the success rate of artificial insemination?
How to improve the success rate of artificial insemination?
Artificial insemination refers to the method of injecting male semen into the bottom of the posterior fornix of the vagina, the cervix, its interior or surrounding areas, or even the uterine cavity to assist in conception. Improving the success rate of artificial insemination requires active cooperation with doctors and conducting various preoperative examinations.
Artificial insemination must be timed carefully, usually requiring at least three cycles of basal body temperature measurement or continuous cervical mucus and vaginal cytology examination to determine the ovulation period.
If necessary, B-ultrasound examination can be used to understand ovulation status. The most suitable time for artificial insemination is during the pre ovulation period when cervical mucus secretion is highest. Generally, artificial insemination is performed three times per menstrual cycle, starting three days before ovulation and every other day.
If calculated on an hourly basis, it should be done 72 hours before ovulation, 24 hours before ovulation, and 24 hours after ovulation. If pregnancy cannot be achieved within one menstrual cycle, several cycles can be performed consecutively. If necessary, medication can be used to induce ovulation and adjust the ovulation period to improve the fertility rate.
The process of artificial insemination
Firstly, it is necessary to conduct a detailed gynecological examination on infertile women who undergo artificial insemination, checking whether the internal and external genitalia are normal, whether the endometrial biopsy gland secretion is good, and whether the bilateral fallopian tubes are unobstructed. If all of these are normal, they are eligible for artificial insemination. Then it is necessary to estimate the ovulation date in order to select the optimal time for fertilization. The commonly used methods for estimating ovulation day include measuring basal body temperature, cervical mucus (usually appearing 4-5 days before ovulation), or continuously measuring the peak of urinary luteinizing hormone near ovulation day, or continuous vaginal ultrasound examination.
Before the estimated ovulation period of the female partner, if the donor or husband masturbates to extract semen, the semen needs to be tested. If the results show normal semen density and motility, after the semen liquefies, it can be injected into the vagina, around the cervix, and into the cervical canal using a syringe or catheter. The female partner should rest in bed for 2-3 hours to prevent semen from being discharged.
Each woman can undergo artificial insemination three times within one menstrual cycle, starting three days before ovulation. If calculated on an hourly basis, it can be done 72 hours before ovulation, 24 hours before ovulation, and 24 hours after ovulation. If pregnancy cannot be achieved within one menstrual cycle, several cycles can be performed consecutively. If necessary, medication can be used to induce ovulation and adjust the ovulation period to improve the fertility rate. The success or failure of artificial insemination is generally judged by 12 cycles.
The above is the method that the editor wants to introduce to you today to improve the success rate of artificial insemination. The editor believes that the most crucial point in improving artificial insemination is to grasp the timing of insemination.
