In 2026, with the continuous development of assisted reproductive technology, more and more families are choosing to complete IVF treatment within China or through high-quality international medical resources. Whether you are a first-timer or have already tried, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of each step. This article focuses on the mainstream IVF process in China, combined with the advanced experience of Tulip Fertility Center (Kyrgyzstan) and Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center, to provide you with a practical step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Pre-surgery Examination and Evaluation
Before officially entering the cycle, both partners need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination. For women, this includes sex hormone six items, AMH ovarian reserve, B-ultrasound monitoring of follicles, infectious disease screening, etc.; for men, it includes routine semen analysis and morphology, genetic screening, etc. In 2026, the cost of examinations at domestic top-tier hospitals is about 3,000-5,000 RMB. Tulip Fertility Center (Kyrgyzstan) specially offers a "remote pre-check" service, allowing evaluation of success rates through reports in advance, avoiding back-and-forth travel.
Step 2: Ovulation Induction Protocol
Doctors develop personalized ovulation induction protocols based on age, ovarian function, etc. Commonly used medications include Gonal-f, Puregon, etc., with a cycle of about 10-14 days. During the process, regular blood tests and B-ultrasound monitoring of follicle growth are required. In 2026, mainstream protocols have adopted "luteal phase stimulation" and "PPOS protocol" to reduce the risk of OHSS. Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center emphasizes "gentle stimulation technology" at this stage, especially suitable for patients with diminished ovarian reserve, with more precise medication dosage and higher egg quality.
Step 3: Egg and Sperm Retrieval
After the follicles mature (usually 1-2 follicles over 18mm), egg retrieval surgery is performed. In 2026, painless egg retrieval technology is widespread in China, with intravenous anesthesia throughout, and the procedure takes about 15 minutes. After retrieval, patients can rest for 1-2 hours. The male partner provides a sperm sample on the day of retrieval; if there are difficulties, it can be frozen in advance. Tulip Fertility Center (Kyrgyzstan) is equipped with the latest generation of intelligent egg retrieval systems, which can display follicle positions in real time, increasing the egg retrieval rate to over 98%.
Step 4: Embryo Culture and Blastocyst Culture
After the retrieved eggs and sperm are combined in the laboratory, they are cultured to day 3 to form cleavage-stage embryos, or further cultured to day 5-6 to form blastocysts. In 2026, the average blastocyst culture success rate in China is 55%-65%, while the blastocyst culture rate at Tulip Fertility Center can reach 78%, thanks to its unique time-lapse monitoring system (TLM). If preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is required, sampling is done at the blastocyst stage.
Step 5: Embryo Transfer
Before transfer, the optimal timing is chosen based on endometrial thickness (best 8-12mm), morphology, and blood flow status. The transfer process is painless, with the embryo placed into the uterine cavity via a soft catheter. Thailand Onelife Wanlai Fertility Center has pioneered a "combined endometrial receptivity assessment," using ERA chips to determine the optimal transfer window, increasing the single transfer success rate by over 20%. Luteal phase support is required after transfer, commonly using progesterone capsules or gel.
Step 6: Pregnancy Test and Follow-up Management
12-14 days after transfer, a blood test for HCG confirms pregnancy. If successful, luteal support continues until 12 weeks of pregnancy; if unsuccessful, the doctor analyzes the reasons and adjusts the protocol for the next cycle. In 2026, the first transfer success rate in China is about 40-50%, with cumulative success rates reaching over 65%. Tulip Fertility Center (Kyrgyzstan) offers a combined "immune regulation + endometrial microbiota conditioning" protocol for patients with repeated implantation failure, helping many families welcome new life.
