Since the end of last year, I have insisted on taking medicine every day until January 10 when I went to the hospital again for examination.
After the examination results came out, the doctor told me that the transplant could be carried out on January 14 and asked me to start taking progesterone twice a day, two injections a day.
Dear frozen babies, mother will come to take you home soon!
Preparation for Embryo Transfer
On January 14, I arrived at the hospital as promised, signed and thawed the embryos. My first tube of frozen babies was two 1.5-grade 8-cell embryos, which were high-quality embryos. After recovery, one remained the same and the other was downgraded to 2-grade 6-cell.
Hearing the word “downgrade”, I was still a little worried, but the doctor said that according to the situation of Shaw Hospital, this is still a high-quality embryo.
There were only 4 or 5 transplants this time. Compared with the noise of taking eggs in October, there was a rare peace at this time. There were only 2 people taking eggs that day, and it was the turn of transplant soon, so I began to make preparations.
The so-called preparation work is cleaning, which is done in the preoperative preparation room outside the transplant operating room. The doctor uses a duckbill device to open the vaginal opening and repeatedly uses normal saline to flush the vagina for about 3 times. This process does not have any pain except a little discomfort when spreading out, and the speed is very fast. It is estimated that one minute is not needed, and everyone does not need to be nervous.
Because I couldn’t hold my urine, I was arranged to be the first to have a transplant.
The whole process of embryo transfer
Today, Dr. Lin gave me a transplant. She first opened the vaginal opening with a metal voyeur. Basically, she felt nothing, slightly less than the discomfort of the duckbill.
Embryo transfer is usually carried out under the guidance of ultrasound. The patient is lying on the examination bed. The doctor will strictly follow the principle of asepsis and take gentle actions to avoid stimulating the cervix. Under the real-time B-ultrasound monitoring of the uterine cavity, the embryo will be gently inserted into the uterine cavity.
Then, she began to lower the ET (Embryo Transfer) tube under the guidance of B-ultrasound. This is a very small tube, with a small, smaller and elastic tube like a noodle at the top. I have no feeling at all when they enter.
Because I was commented by the nurse when I was visiting the palace [it was difficult to operate], I had already prepared myself psychologically. Sure enough, Dr. Lin successfully installed the pipeline after putting it in many times.
After repeatedly confirming my name, the assistant nurse took a syringe attached to a small tube and handed it in through the window in the operating room. I knew it was to fetch my embryonic baby. It was not long before it was handed out again. My baby should be inside now.
I lay quietly, holding my breath. Although I could not see it, I could imagine Dr. Lin connecting the syringe to the tube leading to my uterus and gently injecting it.
At this moment, I was suddenly moved and even wanted to shed tears.
Soon, Dr. Lin gently took out the voyeur, and I knew the transplant process was over. In fact, the whole process was only 5 minutes, but in my opinion it was as important as a century.
After lying on the operating table for about 10 minutes, I was moved to the moving bed and pushed out of the operating room by the nurse. I feel very happy to see my mother and husband coming to meet me.
Some Problems after Embryo Transfer
After thawing, the staff took photos of the frozen baby (frozen embryo). I often picked up the photos of the embryo baby to see and whispered to the baby in my heart.
Later, I lay in my hospital bed for more than 3 hours before getting up and leaving.
Everyone should pay attention to the doctor’s request not to hold your urine after the transplant. You can get out of bed and urinate half an hour after the operation. My situation is that I only go to the toilet for about an hour. Anyway, I will be fine after lying down for a while.
1. If one transplant is unsuccessful, can what do it for the second time?
If the fresh embryo transfer is unsuccessful, the next IVF will need to be carried out 3 months later, with an interval of 3 months to give the ovaries, uterus, etc. full rest.
If there is a second transfer of frozen embryos, the endometrial preparation can be carried out after 3 months to transfer frozen embryos. If there is no frozen embryo, it is necessary to give another injection to promote ovulation.
2. Do you need to stay in bed all the time after embryo transfer?
Generally, after transplantation, you can carry out general daily activities after lying flat for a while like the hero. You don’t need to stay in bed for a long time, but you should avoid strenuous exercise and large body twisting.
If the work is mainly based on sitting posture and running the work industry, it has no influence and is fully competent. If the work is mainly manual labor, it is recommended to take a rest for a period of time.
