Patient's question:
Got married for two years and haven't been pregnant yet. I'm 26 years old. In the early days, I did IVF transfer and thorough examination, and found nothing. I heard that folic acid deficiency can cause miscarriage in IVF?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, it is recommended to promptly address folate deficiency to alleviate its adverse effects on the fetus. If folate deficiency occurs in the early stages of pregnancy, it may lead to fetal malformations, impaired development of the fetal nervous system, and an increased risk of neural tube defects such as anencephaly and spina bifida. Therefore, folate deficiency cannot be ruled out as a factor that may affect the in vitro fertilized embryo in the womb. In severe cases, it may result in a small fetus. Since in vitro fertilization involves artificially transplanting embryos into the uterus, it is more prone to resulting in a smaller fetus. Therefore, it is advisable to rest more to facilitate fetal implantation. Additionally, pay attention to a nutritious diet and maintain a positive mindset, which are beneficial for fetal growth and development. Moderate exercise can enhance immunity. Regularly monitor progesterone levels for diagnosis.
