In many conception discussion groups, a common hot topic is: What preparations are needed for IVF? Can you just go directly to the doctor to start the IVF process? Can you get pregnant with just one IVF attempt? Can older women undergo IVF? These questions are of great concern to women considering IVF. Today, let’s talk in detail about the preparations needed before IVF.

 

In the preparation process for IVF, psychological readiness is very important but often overlooked. IVF requires women to maintain a good psychological state. Compared to natural conception, women preparing for IVF are more concerned about the results, and each pregnancy test can cause significant anxiety and stress. Many women have endured long periods of infertility and substantial pressure from family and society. Moreover, some women have experienced multiple IVF failures, leading to physical and mental exhaustion. Surveys show that about 32% of women face increasing psychological problems in the early stages of infertility treatment. Research has also shown that anxiety and stress can affect the outcome of conception, creating a vicious cycle. Therefore, before undergoing IVF, it is crucial to adjust your mindset and approach the process with a calm attitude.

 

Besides psychological preparation, physical examinations are also a very important step. Before IVF treatment, women need to undergo comprehensive physical examinations to ensure that the ovaries can ovulate normally and the uterus is capable of sustaining a pregnancy. These examinations help doctors determine if you are suitable for IVF and to formulate a personalized treatment plan.

 

Reproductive system examinations primarily involve collecting vaginal secretions for testing to check for gynecological or sexually transmitted diseases, thereby avoiding risks such as miscarriage or preterm birth. Hormone level tests and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) measurements can provide insight into a woman's endocrine function and ovarian reserve. The hormone tests include FSH, LH, E2, P, T, and PRL, while AMH is an important marker for predicting ovarian response and assessing ovarian reserve. If AMH is below 1.5, it indicates decreased ovarian function; if it is below 0.07, it suggests ovarian failure, making it impossible to conceive, and IVF cannot be performed.

 

Chromosomal abnormality tests are particularly important for those with a family history of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities. These tests can detect hereditary diseases early and prevent them from being passed on to the next generation. For patients with chromosomal abnormalities, they can conceive using IVF-PGT technology in the USA, significantly reducing the disease rate in offspring.

 

For older women, as egg quality decreases, the success rate of IVF is affected. Therefore, it is recommended to choose to undergo IVF-PGT in the USA. The USA's IVF technology is advanced, with widespread use of blastocyst culture and PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) for embryonic genetic testing. Blastocyst chromosomal testing can increase the success rate of implantation and reduce the chances of miscarriage and embryo arrest. Thus, the sooner older women opt for IVF in the USA, the better the results.
