Patient's question:

What kind of help do you care about: Is the IVF cycle painful? How can the gender of the fetus be determined and whether the medium is legal?Doctor's answer:
The entire process of IVF is painless. Throughout the IVF fertility treatment cycle, the only procedures that may cause discomfort for women are the administration of ovulation-inducing drugs and the egg retrieval stage. In the United States, the ovulation induction stage is implemented under strict scientific medication protocols, and during the egg retrieval, professional anesthesiologists are present to guide the process. The dosage is determined based on the woman's physical condition and her response to the medication, ensuring that there will be no interference with egg quality or the endocrine system, and absolutely no pain—similar to the sensation of taking regular medication.Regarding the determination of the fetus's gender, it can be fully completed in the United States because, during the blastocyst screening stage, PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) technology can accurately predict the sex chromosomes of the embryo. XX indicates a girl, while XY indicates a boy. Therefore, through the advanced third-generation IVF technology, the gender of the baby can be confirmed with 100% accuracy.
