Is the whole process of artificial insemination painful?

During the process of artificial insemination, both husband and wife have to enter the egg retrieval room and sperm retrieval room, take out the eggs and sperm respectively, and then put them into test tubes respectively. They are placed in the laboratory through the sterilized window for cleaning, and then artificial insemination is performed in the vessel. The fertilized egg is then placed back into the uterus, and finally an embryo is gradually formed, and finally a fetus is formed, which can ensure the successful conception of the woman.

The doctor is extracting sperm. The couple must first go to the egg retrieval room and sperm retrieval room, use equipment to remove eggs and sperm, put them into test tubes respectively, and pass them into the laboratory for cleaning through a miniature disinfection window. Artificial insemination will be performed on glass dishes, rather than in test tubes as everyone understands. The picture shows the doctor extracting eggs.

The embryo survives in the culture dish for 3 to 5 days and is then transplanted into the mother's uterus. The rest of the pregnancy proceeds just like a natural one until normal delivery. If the patient is under 35 years old and undergoing IVF for the first time, a maximum of 2 implants can be made. For those over 35, only three embryos can be deposited, and the extra embryos will be frozen. If the previous embryo transfer fails, the frozen embryo can be thawed, revived, and transplanted a second time. Embryos are generally stored for about two years. Some couples want to store them for longer periods of time. The longest storage period has been seven years, and a successful pregnancy was achieved.

The woman walked out of the operating room after the operation. If all three implanted embryos develop well, according to relevant requirements, technology must be used to reduce the number of fetuses to reduce the chance of triplets or twins.

The test-tube baby was born successfully and the nurse gave the baby a bath. Wang Xiaohong, director of the Reproductive Center, said that the center sees more than 200 pairs of infertile patients every day, but some people have misunderstandings about test-tube babies and believe that test-tube babies are not their own flesh and blood. She once tactfully suggested to a female patient to try in vitro fertilization, but the patient thought the child might not be hers. Wang Xiaohong said that test-tube babies are conceived through the combination of sperm and eggs from both parties. The biggest difference between it and natural reproduction is in vitro fertilization, and the children born are no different from those born naturally. The doctor implants the well-developed embryo into the patient's uterus through a transfer catheter.
