Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Rest as much as possible. Some foods you should avoid include: cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, tea, Job's tears, bananas, and papaya. These are known to have a shrinking effect on the embryo. If you experience constipation, don't strain to have a bowel movement—wait until you feel the urge. Eating more vegetables is very beneficial. It can help alleviate constipation and also provide folic acid to support normal embryo development.After the transfer: Once you get home, rest in bed for 48 hours. You can lie flat, on your side, or even sleep on your stomach, but avoid getting up. You can lean against the bed, but the angle must be less than 45 degrees. Do not take a bath within the first 48 hours.
