Artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization are both artificial assisted reproductive technologies used to solve infertility. However, the specific implementation methods of artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization are different, and their adaptation situations are also different. However, due to the high cost of in vitro fertilization, some women want to know how artificial insemination works?
Artificial insemination mainly targets infertility symptoms caused by male reproductive disorders. Male semen is extracted, and after artificial assistance, the sperm is selected and liquefied. The liquefied semen is then injected into the cervix or uterine cavity through artificial injection, allowing the sperm and egg to combine and fertilize. Generally, women can undergo artificial insemination three times between 48 hours before ovulation and 12 hours after ovulation, once every 12 hours.
For most women, artificial insemination only requires injecting semen into the female body due to the relatively short operation time. Generally, it is not very painful, and some women may not even feel pain, so there is no need to worry too much. However, for women with high pain sensitivity or small cervix, there may be some pain.
In order to increase the success rate of artificial insemination, both men and women need to undergo a physical examination before undergoing artificial insemination. Women need to check whether their reproductive organs are functioning normally, whether the endometrium thickness and glandular secretion are good, and whether the bilateral fallopian tubes are unobstructed. Men need to ensure good sperm condition. Only when these conditions are met can artificial insemination be successful.
After undergoing artificial insemination surgery, women should go to the hospital one week or ten days after the surgery to have their HCG levels tested through blood tests to determine if they have successfully conceived. Even if they have not succeeded, they should not be discouraged. It is possible to conceive continuously for several menstrual cycles, usually with a 12-month menstrual cycle as the boundary to determine success.
