Patient's question:
What should be done before and after IVF and embryo transfer to ensure the highest success rate?Doctor's answer:
After the operation until the day of pregnancy test, pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, colds, and diarrhea. Avoid tub baths and sexual activity. Eat easily digestible, high-vitamin, and high-protein foods. Avoid blood-activating and cooling foods (such as longan, lychee, ginseng, sweet wine, angelica, and seafood like crabs and shrimp). If any discomfort symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, chest tightness, abdominal distension, or decreased urine output (less than 2000ml daily) occur after the operation, be alert to the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or ovarian hyperstimulation. Please come to the center for treatment or seek nearby medical attention.If pregnant, progesterone support should be continued until the third month of pregnancy. It is crucial not to stop the medication arbitrarily. If you run out of medication, please contact your doctor promptly to obtain a prescription and clarify the usage instructions. Women aged 35 or older or those undergoing second-generation IVF are advised to come to our center for prenatal diagnosis 4-5 months after pregnancy.
