In any case, you can say one thing, you always need a little bit to believe in a miracle, even a small one! After all, as statistics show, getting pregnant after an unsuccessful fertilization is still possible. Then the problem is completely different!
ECO is not the end of a difficult road. This is only its beginning. After all, you need to take out the baby! Unfortunately, it is often impossible to achieve this and reach the delivery. About sixty to eighty percent of pregnancies after artificial insemination are interrupted already in the first trimester( this is the tenth - twelfth week) .
Pregnancy can be interrupted both in the form of miscarriage and in the form of a dead fetus. The causes of abortion are divided into three groups:
- first is the genetic cause caused by a violation in the development of the embryo in the early stages of .Most often, the termination of pregnancy in connection with this cause occurs in the fourth to sixth week.
- The second reason is the maternal factor .Everyone knows that pregnancy is interrupted in women with a violation in the hormonal background, as well as those who have no ovaries. It is also well known that an important factor is the management of pregnancy by the attending physician, the state of health of the pregnant woman and her age.
- The third reason is the immune conflict in the body of a pregnant .But, in this case, the pregnancy can be interrupted already at a later date.
In order to maintain a pregnancy after an IVF program, you need to ensure that in the body in the right quantities there are two hormones that are responsible for maintaining a pregnancy: progesterone and estradiol. Still, to support pregnancy, any drugs that improve the condition of the future mother due to her illnesses are used. In addition, the pregnant woman herself must strictly monitor her general condition. In the presence of bloody discharge, pain in the lower abdomen, a feeling of belly distension, she should as soon as possible turn to specialists!
It is very, very regrettable to state the fact that pregnancy, which has arisen due to artificial insemination, is three times more often interrupted by women who are observed in women's consultations at their place of residence. And women who undergo consultations in reproductive clinics most often manage to keep their pregnancy.
Pregnant women after IVF should be prepared for the fact that artificial insemination dramatically increases the likelihood of multiple pregnancies. Since several embryos are transferred to the uterus. In addition, it is important to know that multiple pregnancies are much more difficult than singleton pregnancies, and they involve a significant risk to the life and health of both the mother and the offspring. There is a high risk of abortion, difficult labor and severe consequences for babies. There is a high percentage of premature infants after IVF.This can also be explained by the multiple pregnancy, the state of the reproductive system of the patient. In connection with prematurity, the immaturity of the organs and systems of the baby's body is observed. He needs a long period of rehabilitation, resuscitation and increased attention of the pediatrician.
Whether a multiple pregnancy is a negative or a positive factor to decide only the parents of babies! From the point of view of medicine, the IVF technique is aimed at preventing the emergence of multiple pregnancies. Therefore, every year, experts try to reduce the number of transplanted embryos, so that there was a single-pregnancy, and a full-grown, healthy child was born!
As the long-term studies of specialists in this field show, many deviations that occur in children conceived in an artificial way are observed in children who were conceived naturally. These deviations, most often can be eliminated. Also, it should be noted that pediatricians knowingly treat babies born as a result of IVF as a patient. But, despite some features, with the constant good care of relatives, as well as treating doctors, these children develop well and do not differ from the others.
By the way, specialists who practice caring for babies born with IVF are not in all medical institutions of our country. Scientists around the world are actively studying the physical and mental development of children conceived with the help of IVF techniques. And the results of their research are very encouraging and comforting. Such children are not inferior to the rest! And sometimes even on the contrary - they win.
Many women have experienced many IVF programs, unpleasant tests, examinations and have not been able to conceive. There is one very important question: is pregnancy possible after an unsuccessful IVF?
