Q: How long does an IVF treatment cycle take?
A: A complete IVF cycle typically takes about 2–3 weeks, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. If PGT-A testing is required, an additional 1–2 weeks are needed for the test results to be ready.
Q: What is the best age for egg freezing?
A: Egg freezing is recommended before the age of 35, when egg quality is optimal. However, as long as ovarian function remains normal, freezing eggs before age 40 still offers a good chance of achieving favorable outcomes.
Q: What is the success rate of IVF?
A: Success rates depend on factors such as age, ovarian reserve, and sperm quality. At Jin Housheng, the clinical pregnancy rate for patients under 35 years old can exceed 60%.
Q: Is egg retrieval painful?
A: Egg retrieval is performed under intravenous sedation and typically takes about 10–15 minutes. Most patients do not experience pain during the procedure, though mild abdominal bloating may occur afterward.
Q: Are IVF babies different from naturally conceived babies?
A: Extensive research has shown that IVF babies do not differ from naturally conceived babies in terms of intelligence, physical development, or overall health.
Q: How many embryos should be transferred?
A: Modern reproductive medicine recommends single embryo transfer (SET) to reduce the risk of multiple pregnancies. With a high-quality blastocyst screened by PGT-A, the success rate of single embryo transfer can exceed 70%.
