STEP2. The First Visit
Both husband and wife need to come to Taiwan for the first visit. Usually the date would settled on day 7-11 of wife’s menstrual period so that you could finish all examinations which doctors suggest at one time. We will help you through the whole process which includes filling in agreements and examination.
Following are recommended examinations:
Blood Work:
- Blood type: Confirm both husband and wife’s ABO and Rh type.
- HIV and syphilis blood test for both husband and wife.
- TSH,PRL- Wife only: If these two hormones exceed standard value, they will affect pregnancy rates and fetal development in gestation. You need to take medicines to control the level by the doctor's order.
- Autoimmune-7 - Wife only: In a few people, their immune system attacks their embryo which leads to implantation failure and recurrent miscarriage. It can be diagnosed by analyzing antibody in the blood sample. Items including Anti-ATA, Anti-TPO, Anti-ENA, Anti-B2 glycoprotein IgM, Anti-B2 glycoprotein IgG, Anti-Cardiolipin IgM, Anti-Cardiolipin IgG and Lupus anticoagulant
Husband-
Semen Analysis and Cryopreservation:
We are going to analyze the sperm sample of the husband and the result will come out about an hour after collection. If the quality is good enough then the sperms would be cryopreserved for future insemination use. If the sperms’ quality does not meet the standard, the husband might need to visit our center more times to collect more or collect fresh sperm on the appointed insemination day.
Wife-
Hysteroscopy:
Hysteroscopy is performed through a fiber optic lens with a diameter about 3 to 5 mm. It passes through the vagina, cervix, and then into the uterine cavity. It directly observes the internal environment of the cervix to the uterine cavity to see whether it is suitable for implantation. Then, through the image processing system, the lesion is enlarged 10 to 20 times and transmitted to the TV screen for clear observation and diagnosis. The examination process is almost painless, so no anesthesia is required. The whole process takes only 5 minutes.
If the physician find any abnormalities such as polyps that require further treatment, anesthesia is required. The surgery time depends on the difficulty of the treatment.
3 in 1 test:
3 in 1 test is to use a swab to collect a sample of mucous cells from endocervix to check if there is an infection caused by bacteria, chlamydia or HPV. If there is an infection, suppositories, ointments or taking antibiotics will be recommended.
HSG:
Hysterosalpingography is a minimally invasive procedure. The physician will inject small amount of contrast medium into your uterus and it will flow through your fallopian tube.Then an X-ray picture will be taken to check if your fallopian tubes are patent.
If hydrosalpinx or blocked, laparoscopic tubal ligation and medication therapy are suggested since the substances in tubes might flow to uterus to jeopardize the embryo.
