The test tube knowledge and loopholes involved in the film

Jeff 2022-04-03 08:01:02

It is known from the plot that the male protagonist is 47 years old and the female protagonist is 41 years old. Before doing in vitro (IVF), they tried artificial insemination several times and failed. (Artificial insemination is to inject the man's semen directly into the woman's body using micro-ovulation induction drugs or no drugs to increase the woman's chance of conception)

The biggest bug of this film is at the beginning. The female protagonist has a smooth egg retrieval, but the male protagonist finds that there is no sperm in the semen after the sperm retrieval, and is then diagnosed with unilateral vas deferens blockage. Egg...totally embarrassed, the black-hearted doctor Mei Di extorted 10,000 US dollars for the male protagonist to perform puncture and sperm extraction.

Come knock on the blackboard together, in any country, the quality of the man's semen must be checked before assisted reproductive technology! There is no sperm in the semen, artificial insemination and test tube are not pure bullshit... The artificial insemination and the opening test tube before the male and female protagonists are serious medical accidents, and they can be sued for high compensation.

Well, now we know the reason why the male and female protagonists have not had children for many years, the male protagonist's vas deferens is blocked. As for the heroine looking at the whole film, there is really no problem, and the heroine can take out 11 follicles by using ovulation-stimulating drugs at the "old age" of 41 (the 25-year-old niece has only 15), and her fertility is really maintained. .

Introduce the basic process of the test tube. First, the woman uses ovulation-stimulating drugs to stimulate the growth of follicles in her body. After the doctor can obtain the eggs after b-ultrasound and blood diagnosis, they will inject hcg needles and anesthetize the eggs 36 hours later. These processes are detailed in the video. reflect. At the same time as the woman takes the eggs, the man takes sperm. The doctor cultivates the man's sperm and the woman's eggs into embryos, and then continues to cultivate them into blastocysts. After genetic testing, high-quality blastocysts are selected and transplanted into the woman's body. If there are any remaining, they can be cryopreserved. It is reserved for the next transplant, usually one time to promote the discharge, which can provide the opportunity for multiple transplants (this film does not involve frozen embryos).

In the film, after the doctor diagnosed the male protagonist's vas deferens blocked, a term appeared: ICSI, that is, intracytoplasmic sperm injection technology, commonly known as the second-generation test tube. The quality of the male protagonist's sperm is a little bit poor. Putting his sperm directly with the female protagonist's egg may not be able to break through the barrier of the egg, so he has to choose the strongest sperm, directly inject the egg into the egg by the doctor, and forcibly combine to form an embryo.

The second bug in this film, the doctor told the heroine that the first transplant was two double A-level blastocysts, which means that the heroine's eggs are of excellent quality and the embryos are developing very well. The grade of the embryo is specifically 4AA or 5AA, but in any case, from a statistical point of view, the implantation success rate of two double-A grade blastocysts exceeds 60%. There will be several blastocysts of slightly lower quality but can also be transferred. After the transplant failed, the doctor told the hostess that her success rate was only 4%, and it would be unreasonable to suggest that the hostess use her donor eggs. Although the hostess has passed the optimal reproductive age, both the quantity and quality of the follicles are still unreasonable. All good, there is a high probability of having children of your own.

The male and female protagonists have finished speaking, let's talk about the niece. The niece is in good health. Although she has been scolded by the doctor, the number of eggs retrieved is normal for her age. The niece was sent to the emergency department after the ovum retrieval. Irritation, which is more common in people with PCOS, can be restored with rest, drinking plenty of water, and taking medication.

Finally, I hope that commercial egg donation can be opened up in the same way as abroad. At present, there is a big gap in this area. Patients in need are forced to turn to black intermediaries, and the medical environment is not guaranteed.

    From a person to the middle-aged middle class, the passion of life VS the road of seeking children. Interesting plot, looking forward to and worrying about the ending.

    The script is still very good, the ending can be guessed long ago, but the details in the process are still well done. There may be many angles to look at, but what strikes me the most is: young literary and artistic people start to look back at many "universal happiness" in middle age, and once you start thinking about this kind of happiness, you will find the values ​​that you depended on for a living. being hit. There is a line in the play, "So you're blaming the second climax of the feminist movement for our current situation." The little girl took the "Village Voice" magazine comment and said, "Oh my God, you were so cool when you were young." Then the two writers and couples in the small Manhattan apartment only thought about how to get this little girl to donate eggs to them. Pretty dark humor.
