What generation is the current IVF technology?

Patient's question:

Wanting to pursue IVF, wondering how the technology is? What generation is it? It's said that IVF technology is already in its fourth generation. The kind of help needed: Explanation requested

Doctor's answer:

Here is the explanation for this issue: Currently, the in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology being used is the internationally leading, true third-generation IVF technology, which has been widely adopted and is highly mature. However, there are some institutions that, for certain vested interests, are promoting what they call the "fourth-generation IVF technology." This is a false promotion. The fourth-generation IVF technology is currently an immature technology, still in the research and development phase, and is still in the laboratory. It has not yet been implemented for development or clinical diagnostic use. Most importantly: the law has explicitly stipulated and strictly prohibits the use of the fourth-generation IVF technology. Be cautious and avoid being deceived.
