Pictures of test tube babies growing up

In vitro fertilization is a medical technology developed specifically for infertile couples. At present, this set of technologies has been very mature, and most of them are not prone to any problems. However, there are still many people who think that IVF babies will be different from normal children when they grow up. Next, let’s look at the disadvantages of IVF when growing up.

1. I heard that test-tube babies have hidden defects that are genetically inherited. During the first and second generations of test-tube babies, due to technical deficiencies, genetic screening of sperm and eggs was not carried out, which led to the occurrence of some gene defects and genetic diseases. Regarding this kind of thing, in vitro fertilization has always stipulated who can do it and who cannot do it, so this kind of thing happens very rarely.

Rumors solved: In 1990, PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) came out, which screened genes, overcame genetic barriers, and completely avoided the occurrence of genetic defects and genetic diseases.

2. The reasons for physical defects and insufficient weight in IVF are: The second generation of IVF is through egg cell and sperm injection, one egg cell matches one sperm, and the embryo produced is transplanted into the body three days after fertilization. And other factors related to the process of artificial insemination, such as the thawing of test tube embryos, may cause defects in the baby's birth.

Rumor debunked: Freezing test tube embryos does not reduce the attractiveness of male sperm and egg cells. The third-generation IVF technology PGD/PGS screening can select the healthiest and most attractive sperm and eggs from them, and it is impossible to have physiological defects.

3. The impact on women's body is great. Rumor: Stimulating ovulation causes low ovarian and uterine response, which is prone to ovarian aging, amenorrhea in young women before the age of 40, and ovarian and uterine insensitivity syndrome.

Rumor debunked: China has long since clearly defined the standards for test tube fertilization, and the UK has technically solved this problem. The ovulation-stimulating drugs used in the UK are mostly extracted from the urine of menopausal women. They are taken from humans and used on humans, with little harm to women and no side effects after a period of time.

4. The reason why babies born through IVF are not smart enough: Many people say that babies born through IVF have lower IQs than normal people when they grow up. They basically talk about the IVF genes. Some people think that the older they are, the weaker the eggs and sperm will be, and the quality of babies born through IVF will not be high.

Rumor debunked: As long as the eggs and sperm are healthy, there will be no such problem. IVF is a process of rigorous selection, where healthier sperm and eggs are chosen for fusion. In addition, 23 pairs of sex chromosomes will be screened from the genetic genes to ensure that the embryos are normal before transplantation. In vitro fertilization is a different way of getting pregnant, but the actual result is the same. Whether it is a surrogate mother or a pregnant woman herself, it takes ten months of pregnancy. The baby's IQ is also partly inherited from previous genes, and more are acquired factors.

The above is a detailed introduction to the disadvantages of growing up with IVF. All in all, these so-called shortcomings are completely unfounded. The editor would like to tell everyone that there is no difference between the birth of a test-tube baby and that of a normal person, and there will be no defects when they grow up. Test-tube babies are a method to help some people get pregnant normally. I hope this article can help everyone.
