Benefits of artificial insemination

Artificial insemination can make up for the regret of some female friends who are unable to have children, and it will not cause too much impact on their bodies. However, it is important to pay attention to doing a good study of your ovulation period before doing this treatment. Only by doing this treatment within the ovulation period can the chance of successful conception become greater. In addition, avoid artificial insemination after the age of 35, which will reduce the success rate.

First of all, one of the keys to improving the success rate of artificial insemination with husband's sperm is to choose the accurate time of insemination, that is, 48 ​​hours before ovulation to 12 hours after ovulation, when insemination is most likely to succeed. In addition, the success rate of artificial insemination with husband's sperm is also related to the following factors:

1. Male sperm quality. Clinically, men with good sperm count and motility but unable to have sexual intercourse have a significantly higher chance of successful artificial insemination than men with sperm abnormalities.

2. The age of the woman. If the woman is over 35 years old, her chance of pregnancy is significantly reduced.

3. The predictability of ovulation. The more regular the menstruation, the higher the success rate of pregnancy.

4. Medical history and pregnancy history. Women with a history of endometriosis and fallopian tube disease have a low success rate, while women with a history of pregnancy have a higher success rate.

In addition to paying attention to the above factors that may affect the success rate of artificial insemination with husband's sperm, in order to improve the success rate of artificial insemination with husband's sperm, the woman's ovulation time can be detected in advance so that artificial insemination can be performed within 48 hours before ovulation to 12 hours after ovulation. Commonly used detection methods include basal body temperature measurement, cervical mucus examination, hormone measurement and B-ultrasound monitoring of follicles.

1. Choose the right time. One of the keys to improving the success rate of artificial insemination is to choose the accurate time of insemination: artificial insemination is most likely to succeed within 48 hours before ovulation to 12 hours after ovulation.

1. Basal body temperature (BBT) measurement: that is, the body temperature when the body is at rest. Record the basal body temperature measured daily during the menstrual cycle, draw a curve, and observe. The basal body temperature is lower during the follicular phase, and is lowest on the day of ovulation. The body temperature returns to normal from ovulation to 1 to 2 days before the next menstruation, or on the day of menstruation.

2. Cervical mucus examination: During ovulation, the cervical mucus is thin and transparent, and the mucus threads can be stretched to more than 10 cm. After ovulation, cervical mucus becomes cloudy, thicker, and less stringy. Fern-like crystals can be seen in cervical mucus smears before ovulation.

3. Hormone measurement to predict ovulation: The luteinizing hormone peak before ovulation can predict the time of ovulation.

4. Use B-ultrasound to monitor the development of follicles and the thickness of the endometrium.

2. Preparation of semen.

1. Before artificial insemination, the husband should abstain from sex for 3 to 5 days. Before sperm collection on the day of collection, the husband should wash his hands and the area around the penis and use masturbation to collect semen. Be careful to avoid contact with the sterile and non-toxic inner mouth of the semen collection cup to ensure that the semen is collected intact. Send to laboratory immediately.

2. After the semen is liquefied, routine semen analysis is performed, including semen volume, liquefaction time, sperm count, motility, agglutination, etc. Different methods are selected for optimal treatment based on the quality of the semen. The entire process is carried out in a clean bench to ensure sterility.

Commonly used semen processing methods generally include: washing, upstream, downstream, Percoll gradient centrifugation, micro Percoll gradient centrifugation, etc. The selected semen was placed at 37°C for later use.
