II 🩺 The Response Process of American Doctors (Standard Five Step Approach)

1. ✅ System evaluation: Identify the cause

American doctors would first recommend that both spouses undergo the following examinations:

WomenOvulation function, fallopian tube patency, uterine structure AMH、FSH、TSH、 Thyroid gland, vitamin D, etc
male partySemen analysis (sperm count, motility, morphology, etc.)

Common causes include:

Female: Polycystic ovary, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, advanced age
Male: oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, azoospermia, testicular dysfunction, etc

2. 🧬 Mild infertility: try assisted ovulation or intrauterine insemination (IUI) first

For young couples with good ovarian function but unsuccessful pregnancies, American doctors tend to favorTry oral ovulation medication (such as Letrozole)+IUI first
Usually try 2-3 times, if unsuccessful, then enter the IVF stage

3. 💉 Moderate to severe issues: It is recommended to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) directly

In the following situations, American doctors may recommend direct IVF:

Age ≥ 38 years old
Blockage of fallopian tubes and severe endometriosis
Multiple IUI failures
Male severe oligospermia/asthenozoospermia/teratozoospermia
Genetic diseases require PGT-M screening

📌 Success rate reference (2024 CDC data):

age	IVF clinical pregnancy rate	Live birth rate (single transplant)
&At the age of 35	55%-65%	50%-58%
35-37 years old	45%-55%	40%-48%
38-40 years old	35%-45%	30%-38%
Over 40 years old	15%-30%	10%-20%

4. 🧪 Black technology to increase success rate

American experts will also use the following advanced technologies to assist different populations:

PGT-AScreen out embryos with normal chromosomes to avoid miscarriage/embryo abnormalities
ICSI (Single Sperm Injection)Poor sperm can also lead to fertilization
Time lapse monitoring systemContinuous monitoring of embryo development and precise selection of excellent embryos
Frozen embryo/egg technologyReserve fertility opportunities for the elderly or those with health concerns

5. ❤️ Psychological counseling and life intervention

American doctors highly value mental health:

Suggest spouses to participate in the treatment together
Provide psychological counseling services to alleviate the impact of stress on hormones
At the same time, it is recommended to adjust one's daily routine, diet, weight, and reduce caffeine, smoking, and alcohol consumption

Same diagnosis and treatment for couples	About 40% of infertility problems are caused by male factors, and we cannot solely focus on the female partner
The plan should be personalized	Age, ovarian function, endometrial condition, and other factors affect treatment methods and success rates
Success=Technology+Collaboration	Medical technology is important, and patient cooperation is also crucial (such as diet, medication, time)
