Patient's question:
What nutrients should be strengthened and what should be paid attention to before IVF?Doctor's answer:
Since the early stages of pregnancy are primarily the period for fetal organ development, weight gain is not significant. Therefore, a normal diet is sufficient during the early stages of pregnancy, and there is no need for special nutritional supplements (including IVF). The main focus in the early stages of pregnancy is taking folic acid supplements (Sulian) to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus.For IVF, a marriage certificate, both partners' ID cards, and a birth planning certificate are required. The male partner needs to undergo a semen analysis, while the female partner must complete some basic examinations, such as a gynecological exam, dilation and curettage (D&C), tubal patency test, anti-sperm antibody test, liver function test, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), complete blood count, coagulation time, and basal endocrine hormone determination (on the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle).
If no abnormalities are found, the doctor will create a medical record for you and inform you when to start IVF treatment.
